The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.

+ When modules are built into the kernel, there will be no module name
+ associated with its symbols in /proc/kallsyms. Tracers may want to
+ identify symbols by module name and symbol name regardless of whether
+ the module is configured as loadable or not.
+
+ This option generates modules.builtin.ranges in the build tree with
+ offset ranges (per ELF section) for the module(s) they belong to.
+ It also records an anchor symbol to determine the load address of the
+ section.
+
+ It is fully compatible with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE and similar late-
+ address-modification options.
