On embedded platforms, the CONFIG_KALLSYMS compilation option may not
be enabled due to reasons such as reducing the size. This will cause
the test item to fail. Do you still insist on returning a test failure
when the opening fails?

Also for the reasons mentioned above, my idea is to ensure that the test
item can pass with a high probability even if the CONFIG_KALLSYMS option
is not enabled.

Thank you very much for your patient guidance. I was quite busy some
time ago, so I'm replying to you now. I'm really sorry.

Thanks
