From 9d65cb4a1718a072898c7a57a3bc61b2dc4bcd4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:28:43 -0700 Subject: Fix race between cat /proc/*/wchan and rmmod et al kallsyms_lookup() can go iterating over modules list unprotected which is OK for emergency situations (oops), but not OK for regular stuff like /proc/*/wchan. Introduce lookup_symbol_name()/lookup_module_symbol_name() which copy symbol name into caller-supplied buffer or return -ERANGE. All copying is done with module_mutex held, so...
