get a quick snapshot of the kernel's symbol table including the symbols
from any loaded modules (the symbols are all merged into one symbol
table). Unlike like other implementations, this ksyms driver maps
memory in the process memory space to store the snapshot at the time
/dev/ksyms is opened. It also checks to see if the process has already
a snapshot open and won't allow it to open /dev/ksyms it again until it
closes first. This prevents kernel and process memory from being
exhausted. Note that /dev/ksyms is used by the lockstat(1) command.
