[PATCH v6 01/23] kallsyms: avoid hardcoding the buffer size

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Sat May 07 2022 - 01:26:12 EST


From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx>

This makes it easier to update the size later on.

Furthermore, a static assert is added to ensure both are updated
when that happens. The relationship used is one that keeps the new
size (512+1) close to the original buffer size (500).
