+#!/bin/sh -x
+# Based on the vmlinux file create the System.map file
+# System.map is used by module-init tools and some debugging
+# tools to retreive the actual addresses of symbols in the kernel.
+#
+# Before creating the System.map file as a sideeffect check for
+# undefined symbols.
+# At least one version of the ARM bin-utils did not error out on
+# undefined symbols, so catch them here instead.
+
+# Usage
+# mksysmap vmlinux System.map
+
+
+#####
+# Check for undefined symbols.
+# Undefined symbols with three leading underscores are ignored since
+# they are used by the sparc BTFIXUP logic - and is assumed to be undefined.

+# Generate System.map (actual filename passed as second argument)

+# $NM produces the following output:
+# f0081e80 T alloc_vfsmnt
+
+#   The second row specify the type of the symbol:
+#   A = Absolute
+#   B = Uninitialised data (.bss)
+#   C = Comon symbol
+#   D = Initialised data
+#   G = Initialised data for small objects
+#   I = Indirect reference to another symbol
+#   N = Debugging symbol
+#   R = Read only
+#   S = Uninitialised data for small objects
+#   T = Text code symbol
+#   U = Undefined symbol
+#   V = Weak symbol
+#   W = Weak symbol
+#   Corresponding small letters are local symbols
+
+# For System.map filter away:
+#   a - local absolute symbols
+#   U - undefined global symbols
+#   w - local weak symbols
