When doing a cold build, autoksyms.h starts empty, and is updated late in the build process to have visibility over the symbols used by in-tree drivers. But since the symbol whitelist is known upfront, it can be used to pre-populate autoksyms.h and maximize the amount of code that can be compiled to its final state in a single pass, hence reducing build time. Do this by using gen_autoksyms.sh to initialize autoksyms.h instead of creating an empty file.

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 Restructured Text 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.
