Jim Cromie 81d0c2c609 dyndbg: fix overcounting of ram used by dyndbg
during dyndbg init, verbose logging prints its ram overhead.  It
counted strlens of struct _ddebug's 4 string members, in all callsite
entries, which would be approximately correct if each had been
mallocd.  But they are pointers into shared .rodata; for example, all
10 kobject callsites have identical filename, module values.

Its best not to count that memory at all, since we cannot know they
were linked in because of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, and we want to
report a number that reflects what ram is saved by deconfiguring it.

Also fix wording and size under-reporting of the __dyndbg section.

Heres my overhead, on a virtme-run VM on a fedora-31 laptop:

  dynamic_debug:dynamic_debug_init: 260 modules, 2479 entries \
    and 10400 bytes in ddebug tables, 138824 bytes in __dyndbg section

README

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.
