a5c43dae7a Fix race between cat /proc/slab_allocators and rmmod
Same story as with cat /proc/*/wchan race vs rmmod race, only
/proc/slab_allocators want more info than just symbol name.

9d65cb4a17 Fix race between cat /proc/*/wchan and rmmod et al
kallsyms_lookup() can go iterating over modules list unprotected which is OK
for emergency situations (oops), but not OK for regular stuff like
/proc/*/wchan.

Introduce lookup_symbol_name()/lookup_module_symbol_name() which copy symbol
name into caller-supplied buffer or return -ERANGE.  All copying is done with
module_mutex held, so...

42e380832a Extend print_symbol capability
Today's print_symbol function dumps a kernel symbol with printk.  This
patch extends the functionality of kallsyms.c so that the symbol lookup
function may be used without the printk.  This is useful for modules that
want to dump symbols elsewhere, for example, to debugfs.  I intend to use
the new function call in the GFS2 file system (which will be a separate
patch).

ffc5089196 [PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs.  This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example).  In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.

Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.

It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

8d8fdf5c76 [PATCH] lockdep: add print_ip_sym()
Provide a common print_ip_sym() function that prints the passed instruction
pointer as well as the symbol belonging to it.  Avoids adding a bunch of
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT in order to get the printk format right on 32/64 bit
platforms.

b02454f435 [PATCH] lockdep: special s390 print_symbol() version
Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most
significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol().  This seems to be
better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an
instruction pointer.

Without this the output would look like:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
