[PATCH v6 03/23] kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512

Miguel Ojeda

Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced
by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance,
the following code:

pub mod my_module {
pub struct MyType;
pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T);

pub trait MyTrait {
fn my_method() -> u32;
}

impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> {
fn my_method() -> u32 {
42
}
}
}

generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme:

_RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method

At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length.
Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to
keep some headroom.
