Paulo Marques b3dbb4ecd4 [PATCH] kallsyms: change compression algorithm
This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works.  The base
algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token
size to 2.

Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and
that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it
did before over just a subset.

Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols
change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages
should become less frequent.

In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the
results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.

* ChangeLog:
*
* (25/Aug/2004) Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com>
* Changed the compression method from stem compression to "table lookup"
* compression
*
* Table compression uses all the unused char codes on the symbols and
* maps these to the most used substrings (tokens). For instance, it might
* map char code 0xF7 to represent "write_" and then in every symbol where
* "write_" appears it can be replaced by 0xF7, saving 5 bytes.
* The used codes themselves are also placed in the table so that the
* decompresion can work without "special cases".
* Applied to kernel symbols, this usually produces a compression ratio
* of about 50%.
*
