Equivalent of 'insmod -m' on 2.6?

Equivalent of 'insmod -m' on 2.6?

[Ravi Krishnamurthy]

Hi,

I am trying to debug a module on 2.6.0-test3 with
module-init-tools-0.9.12. But I am not able to get
the load map of the module being loaded. 'insmod'
in module-init-tools does not support the '-m' option. 
While working on 2.4, the load map given by 'insmod -m'
was very useful for debugging modules. Is there an
equivalent for 2.5/2.6 kernels?
Even the new 'struct module' does not seem to contain
all the section and relocation information. 

Please CC me on the replies since I am not subscribed
to the list.

Thanks in advance for any help.

-Ravi.

Hi Ravi!

	CONFIG_KALLSYMS is probably what you want here, along with
/proc/kallsyms.  You can, also generate the equivalent of insmod -m
from the output of /proc/modules and the symbol table in the module.

BTW, I'd generally recommend modprobe over insmod: as you will have
noticed, the new insmod is designed to be a really low-level tool.

Hope this helps,
Rusty.
