if a module does not depend on other module functions, PLT entries in the module is equal to 0.
If this is the case I don't think I need to do anything, just return 0.What do you think should be

Thanks.

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE = y or n has this warning (two servers, kernel version is different).

I can't print debug until someone else is not using the server.
