- Make ksyms MT safe.
- Fix deadlock from an operation like "modload foo.lkm < /dev/ksyms".
- Fix uninitialized structure members.
- Reduce memory footprint for loaded modules.
- Export ksyms structures for kernel grovellers like savecore.
- Some KNF.
When returning a "close" symbol, make sure the value being searched for is
within the symtab. This prevents ddb matching addresses beyond the end of
the kernel.
required to initialize ksyms_hdr. Otherwise LKMs do not work when using
ksyms_init_explicit instead of ksyms_init, as is the case of booting an
i386 kernel using Multiboot.
exact address of the symtab and strtab ELF sections contents beforehand.
This will be used in i386's Multiboot code to add the initial kernel ksyms
without having to prepare a minimal ELF image that matches the format
expected by the reguluar ksyms_init function.
This part was reviewed by cube@ and successfully passes a full i386 release
build.
broken. Inside the kernel, we always have to use the real values of the
st_name fields, and only do the math when the request comes from userland.
No need for ksyms_getval_from{kernel,userland} hack anymore. However, a
different version will be asked for pull-up in -2{,-0}, one that doesn't
break the API, that is.
Fixes PR#29133 from Jens Kessmeier.
and then allocate it on demand. Rename some common symbols (__bss_start,
_edata, _end, __start_link_set_*, __stop_link_set_*) so that ".<module>"
is appended to them. This shrinks an amd64 kernel by 20KB of BSS.
symbols, and made it impossible for the kernel to use that value, and
correctly find symbols from LKMs.
o Allow LKM users to use DDB to debug the entry function of a LKM by
loading the symbol table with the temporary name /lkmtemp/ before calling
it, and then renaming it once we know the module name.
Approved by ragge@.
the not-entered symbols will be found anyway but via a linear-search.
This only happens if something is wrong when linking the kernel.
Fixes problems reported on port-hp700.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
