Default size of dedup table (16k) is good enough for most binaries, even
typical vmlinux images. But there are cases of binaries with huge amount
of BTF types (e.g., allyesconfig variants of kernel), which benefit from
having bigger dedup table size to lower amount of unnecessary hash
collisions. Tools like pahole, thus, can tune this parameter to reach
optimal performance.

This change also serves double purpose of allowing tests to force hash
collisions to test some corner cases, used in follow up patch.

History
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.
