Something like this:

[acme@jouet perf]$ cat /proc/kallsyms | head
(null) A irq_stack_union
(null) A __per_cpu_start
(null) A cpu_debug_store
(null) A cpu_tss_rw
(null) A gdt_page
(null) A exception_stacks
(null) A entry_stack_storage
(null) A espfix_waddr
(null) A espfix_stack
(null) A cpu_llc_id
[acme@jouet perf]$ id
uid=1000(acme) gid=1000(acme) groups=1000(acme),10(wheel),18(dialout),54(lock) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
[acme@jouet perf]$
