With CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y, the function is_ksym_addr() is used to determine if a symbol is from inside the kernel range. For that the given symbol address is checked if it's inside the _stext to _end range. Although this is correct, some architectures (e.g. parisc) may have the init area before the _stext address and as such the check in is_ksym_addr() fails. By extending the range check to include the init section, __is_kernel() will now detect symbols in this range as well. This fixes an issue on parisc where addresses of kernel functions in init sections aren't resolved to their symbol names. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
