DESCRIPTION top

   /proc/kallsyms (since Linux 2.5.71)
          This holds the kernel exported symbol definitions used by
          the modules(X) tools to dynamically link and bind loadable
          modules.  In Linux 2.5.47 and earlier, a similar file with
          slightly different syntax was named ksyms.
