Could you give me the small modification to the SuSE kernel source code?

Adding:

EXPORT_SYMBOL(do_signal);

to arch/powerpc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c and/or arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c
should do it.

This should be fixed in the openafs code - the right fix would
probably be to add a configure check for the availability of
do_signal, and define out the probing code if it's not available,
similar to what was done for init_mm.

I'll take a look at this when I get a moment ...

With a recent kernel like 2.6.27 the system call table won't be
writable and you should be relying on keyring based PAGs anyway.

I think at some point, we're just going to have to give up on the system call probing code entirely, and require keyrings for PAGs. Whilst this is too big a change for the 1.4.x series, I think it should definitely be considered for 1.5.x and thus the mythical 1.6.

Cheers,

Simon.
