A quick grep suggests that this is used primarily by osi_probe.c, both
as a symbol to use to try and find the syscall table, and to define
probe limits. Could we turn it into a weak reference, and just disable
syscall probing where it doesn't exist? (I'd be highly surprised if
distribution kernels which don't have init_mm have a writable syscall
table).
S.
That's pretty much the logic for the original patch I submitted for 2.6.25, where I ifdef'ed out the probing
code based on init_mm not being exported. As I said in the comments (RT 88000), I'm not sure that's the most
elegant solution, but it seemed pointless to try to tweak the probing code for new kernels where the syscall
table is probably not writable and keyrings are available.
