[PATCH v5 1/3] x86: kallsyms: disable absolute percpu symbols on !SMP

Show all headers | View raw

scripts/kallsyms.c has a special --absolute-percpu command line
option which deals with the zero based per cpu offsets that are
used when building for SMP on x86_64. This means that the option
should only be passed in that case, so add a Kconfig symbol with
the correct predicate, and use that instead.
