Greetings.
The System map that was created when compiling kernel does'nt have the symbols
of modules that are loaded later. How can I create a new System.map
with the symbols of
modules also.
Any information is much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Usage of mksysmap is --
mksysmap vmlinux System.map
How do I specify the module which is not included in the kernel ?
Is that possible ?
Thanks

Not with that script.
Look at /proc/kallsyms instead.

maybe a silly question.. but why does it matter? Eg what tool uses this
info?

you could do:
nm -n /path/to/module.ko | grep -v '\( [aUw] \)\|\(__crc_\)\|\( \
$[adt]\)'>/path/to/module.map
This is essentially what mksysmap does, except with the ability to
define 'nm' locations. This isn't really a file that could be used in
place of the System.map file though. At least not if I understand the
purpose of it.
The System.map file is used to keep track of symbols in the kernel. I
believe the module symbols can be traced with the aid of some of the
debug kernel configuration options.

Maybe he's creating a tool. Anyway /proc/kallsyms will have all
the symbols and their offsets of the currently running kernel.
It's a good way to find offsets of items not currently exported.

I am trying to use lcrash to debug a panic
I have the System.map of the original kernel (without modules loaded),
Kerntypes file and the dump file
<4>Modules linked in: ip_conntrack_dos
<4>CPU: 0
<4>EIP: 0060:[<f8bb245b>] Tainted: P VLI
<4>EFLAGS: 00010246 (2.6.12)
<4>EIP is at init_conntrack_syn+0x193/0x214 [ip_conntrack_dos]
<4>eax: dd0f34b3 ebx: f48de908 ecx: f48de900 edx: 00000000
<4>esi: f4c65bc8 edi: f48de900 ebp: 00100100 esp: c040dae0
<4>ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068
If i Use the original System.map, it doesnt find the symbol for the
init_conntrack_syn
( EIP is pointing there)
However, kallsyms has an entry for that
f8b752c8 t init_conntrack_syn
If kallsyms has all the symbols, I am wondering why does it have lesser lines ?
wc -l
12343 kallsyms
32127 System.map
Will it work if I cat System.map and kallsyms together and do a sort and uniq
so that i get the union of both ?

By default kallsyms only stores symbols that are int the kernel's text
areas, whereas System.map has all the symbols.
You can make kallsyms store all the symbols by setting
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL in your kernel configuration, but the extra symbol
data will increase your kernel size. Depending on the target host memory
size this can be either negligeable or a big problem :)
However, module symbols appear in the /proc/kallsyms file using a
totally different mechanism, and even if you don't set
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL, module data symbols (and others) still show up there.
By the way, if you had KALLSYMS configured in the first place, the
kernel itself would translate those addresses for you for free.

Unless you really need non-text symbols, kallsyms should have all the
information you need. If you need _everything_ then you can just do
something like (totally untested) "grep \\[ /proc/kallsyms >>
System.map" to add the symbols from modules to the System.map.
I don't know if the tools out there will like this, though...

Look at the CONTENT of both files! System.map has more information.
You can execute `man nm` to find out what each of the symbol types
mean.
