Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: handle symbol resolution when <module:.symbol> is specified
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~459
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=412998cf6bce78b8dc5f68660e09bf3b4fcbb210;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] kprobes: handle symbol resolution when <module:.symbol> is specified

kallsyms_lookup_name() allows for <module:symbol> style specification for
looking up symbol addresses.  Handle the case where the user specifies
<module:.symbol> on powerpc, given that 64-bit powerpc uses function
descriptors.
