+ * kcore_copy - copy kallsyms, modules and kcore from one directory to another.
+ * @from_dir: from directory
+ * @to_dir: to directory
+ *
+ * This function copies kallsyms, modules and kcore files from one directory to
+ * another.  kallsyms and modules are copied entirely.  Only code segments are
+ * copied from kcore.  It is assumed that two segments suffice: one for the
+ * kernel proper and one for all the modules.  The code segments are determined
+ * from kallsyms and modules files.  The kernel map starts at _stext or the
+ * lowest function symbol, and ends at _etext or the highest function symbol.
+ * The module map starts at the lowest module address and ends at the highest
+ * module symbol.  Start addresses are rounded down to the nearest page.  End
+ * addresses are rounded up to the nearest page.  An extra page is added to the
+ * highest kernel symbol and highest module symbol to, hopefully, encompass that
+ * symbol too.  Because it contains only code sections, the resulting kcore is
+ * unusual.  One significant peculiarity is that the mapping (start -> pgoff)
+ * is not the same for the kernel map and the modules map.  That happens because
+ * the data is copied adjacently whereas the original kcore has gaps.  Finally,
+ * kallsyms file is compared with its copy to check that modules have not been
+ * loaded or unloaded while the copies were taking place.
+ *
+ * Return: %0 on success, %-1 on failure.
