Linux 3.15 and later kernels configured with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
can be now be readily identified because of new kernel symbols that
have been added.  For those kernels, the new "--kaslr=<offset>"
and/or "--kaslr=auto" options are not necessary for ELF or compressed
kdump vmcores, or for live systems that have /proc/kallsyms showing
the relocated symbol values.  A new KASLR initialization function
called kaslr_init() is now called by symtab_init() prior to the
initial symbol-sorting operation.  If kaslr_init() determines that
KASLR may be in effect, it will trigger a search for the relevant
vmlinux symbols during the sorting operation, which in turn will
cause the relocation value to be automatically calculated.
