Have you tested this on an LE system? I did a quick test and it appears to be completely broken. Basically every symbol is not found, eg: 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : --- start --- test child forked, pid 16222 Using /proc/kcore for kernel object code Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /boot/vmlinux-4.5.0-11318-gdf01bc5cf4ea for symbols 0xc00000000000b428: run_init_process not on kallsyms 0xc00000000000b478: try_to_run_init_process not on kallsyms 0xc00000000000b4f8: do_one_initcall not on kallsyms 0xc00000000000b768: match_dev_by_uuid not on kallsyms ... 0xc0000000009846b8: write_mem not on kallsyms 0xc000000000984728: do_fp_store not on kallsyms 0xc000000000984828: emulate_step not on kallsyms $ sudo grep emulate_step /proc/kallsyms c000000000984820 T emulate_step Notice it's off by 8. That's because of the local/global entry point on LE. So that will need to be fixed somewhere. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
