From: =?UTF-8?Q?Ismael_Farf=C3=A1n?= To: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello guys I work on 3 modules, let's say: KServervices, mod1, mod2 KServices exports functions consumed by mod1 and mod2. Accidentally I was deleting Modules.Symvers after compiling KServices and mod1 and mod2 failed to load because thery where looking for the functions in a different offset than the one shown in /proc/kallsyms QUESTION: What is and how do I use that file? I was hopping to find some good documentation in tldp.org, but nothing, I only find forums that mention it, but nothing that can help me understand it and probably find a way to stop requiring it.
