No. But as far as I can suppose, the "expanded kernel" (after boot)
contains the symbol table (text and data).
May be I'm saying a stupid thing, but why not doing something like a
mapping of the kernel (executable in-memory, alredy expanded) in the /proc
filesystem ?
Something like /proc/kernel on which do nlist ?
I'm sorry because I know I should work on it and then speak, but I have no
time at all to investigate on such an idea.
Ciao,
