pm_idle not exported on x86_64 platform

pm_idle not exported on x86_64 platform

[Janusz Krzysztofik]

Hi,

Could someone please explain me why pm_idle is not exported on x86_64 
platform, unlike it is on i386 (in arch/i386/kernel/process-xen.c)?
I have patched the source (arch/x86_64/kernel/process-xen.c) to export 
this symbol, it works for me, now I am able to load processor.ko module 
that depends on pm_idle. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Janusz

It's exported by x8664_ksyms-xen.c. What kernel are you looking at?

Debian linux-source-2.6.18 (2.6.18-7) patched with fedora-36252.patch 
from linux-patch-debian-2.6.18 package, running on debian packaged xen 
hypervisor 3.0.3 for amd64.

I can realize you would rather spend your time on development of the 
latest xen version, but maybe you can give me an answer if it is safe to 
export pm_idle symbol in the version I am using in order to be able to 
make use of processor.ko and thermal.ko modules, or I should expect 
troubles if I do this.

Thanks,
Janusz

Sorry for this *SPAM* label, my spamassassin supported incoming mail 
server is rather restrictive (RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO).

Thank you, I will give it a try.
