From: Rong Tao <rongtao@xxxxxxxx> When the number of symbols is greater than MAX_SYMS (300000), the access array struct ksym syms[MAX_SYMS] goes out of bounds, which will result in a segfault. Resolve this issue by judging the maximum number and exiting the loop, and increasing the default size appropriately.
