[RFC v3 PATCH 6/7] Ksplice: Export symbols needed for Ksplice

From: Jeff Arnold
Date: Fri Nov 21 2008 - 22:41:03 EST


From: Tim Abbott <tabbott@xxxxxxx>

Ksplice uses several functions from module.c in order to resolve
symbols and implement dependency handling. Calling these functions
requires holding module_mutex, so it is exported.

Ksplice uses task_curr in order to confirm that no other tasks are
executing during Ksplice's kernel stack check.

Ksplice uses find_bug and search_exception_tables as part of its
conservative check that the user provided the correct source code for
the running kernel.

Ksplice uses init_mm to get access to the ranges of addresses
containing core kernel text and data. It seems that init_mm was
scheduled to be unexported entirely in 2.6.26, so move it to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL (rather than back to EXPORT_SYMBOL).
