Searching for symlinks is an expensive operation with the current logic, as it is at the order of O(n^3). In practice, running the check spends 2-3 minutes to check all symbols. Fix it by storing the directory tree into a graph, and using a Breadth First Search (BFS) to find the links for each sysfs node. With such improvement, it can now report issues with ~11 seconds on my machine. It comes with a price, though: there are more symbols reported as undefined after this change. I suspect it is due to some sysfs circular loops that are dropped by BFS. Despite such increase, it seems that the reports are now more coherent.

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.
