I know that is somehat OT, but I was looking for trying to discover what

coresize files at /sys and read
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-3.9.2/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-module
and it says "Module size in bytes" but if I see the filesize using ls
don't match

So what does really mean coresize?

Modules drop unused memory after initialization so their core resident size doesn't have to correspond to filesize.
