[PATCH 4/5] Fix race between cat /proc/*/wchan and rmmod et al

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Mon Apr 02 2007 - 10:55:16 EST


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...
