The .rodata.(cst|str)* sections are often resized during the final
linking and since these sections do not cover actual symbols there is
no need to include them in the modules.builtin.ranges data.
When these sections were included in processing and resizing occurred,
modules were reported with ranges that extended beyond their true end,
causing subsequent symbols (in address order) to be associated with
the wrong module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
