Yes, that's not an immediate > problem atm, but just fixing __mcount_loc seems very short sighted. Read my reply to the email that I forgot to add to the cover letter (but mention in the last patch). Fixing kallsyms does not remove the place holders in the available_filter_functions. This has nothing to do with kallsyms. I need to remove the fentry/mcount references in the mcount_loc section. The kallsyms is a completely different issue. -- Steve
