From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Remove unneeded symbol check for --list option.
This code actually checks whether the given symbol exists in the kernel. But this is incorrect for online kernel/module and offline module too: - For online kernel/module, the kprobes itself already ensured the symbol exist in the kernel. - For offline module, this code can't access the offlined modules. Ignore it. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: "David A.
