Subject: Getting address of a symbol from kernel's symbol table.
Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:43:51 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <k9fbd5$gl4$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
arif at khost:~/src/linux$ global -x ip_rcv_finish
ip_rcv_finish 319 net/ipv4/ip_input.c static int
ip_rcv_finish(struct sk_buff *skb)
Now if i want to use this function i need to initialize a pointer to
this function.
To be able to do that i need the address of the function.
I've seen that from user space i can read /proc/kallsyms to get an
address of a symbol. Is their any similar mechanism exist where i can
read the symbol table to extract a symbol's address from kernel space?
