Subject: Difference between System.map and /proc/kallsyms
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2015 11:30:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54FD36E0.4020200@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi..

After reading Documentation on System.map, i understood that , whenever 
an oops happens the following addresses  will be converted to its 
function name by klogd daemon using System.map.

Now when we have /proc/kallsyms which stores the symbol table in the 
kernel image itself.Then what is the need of System.map file??Is any 
process or daemon still using it??

Regards,
Md.Jamal
