Question system.map create/modify during linux life-time

I am working on a piece of code that relies on the file /boot/System.map. I have several questions?

- when is this file created? (during linux install? I guess)
- does it change during linux life-time (during kernel updates only? I guess)

Thanks in advance.

It's created whenever the kernel is compiled, and that'll be the only time it changes.
