+NAME
+----
+perf-kallsyms - Searches running kernel for symbols
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf kallsyms <options> symbol_name[,symbol_name...]'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command searches the running kernel kallsyms file for the given symbol(s)
+and prints information about it, including the DSO, the kallsyms begin/end
+addresses and the addresses in the ELF kallsyms symbol table (for symbols in
+modules).
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-v::
+--verbose=::
+	Increase verbosity level, showing details about symbol table loading, etc.
