Hi,
It appears that we have a certain amount of randomness about which symbols
are exported where. (Maybe someone should feed this into /dev/random ?) 8)
Both simple_strtoul and simple_strtol appear in linux/lib/vsprintf.c yet
we have simple_strtoul exported by kernel/ksyms.c, and simple_strtol
exported by some architecture specific ksyms.c files.
The following patch rectifies this by exporting simple_strtol in
kernel/ksyms.c and removing it from the machine specific files.
[Georg Nikodym pointed this out and sent an initial patch to add
it to the main kernel ksyms file, I fixed up the architecture
specific files].
