Dear listmembers,
took me some time to come back into track. According to Dave one could replace
in arch/sparc64/kernel/sys_sparc32.c:
asmlinkage int sys32_get_kernel_syms(struct kernel_sym32 *table)
{
int len, i;
struct kernel_sym *tbl;
mm_segment_t old_fs;
len = sys_get_kernel_syms(NULL);
if (!table) return len;
tbl = kmalloc (len * sizeof (struct kernel_sym), GFP_KERNEL);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
by:
if (!table) return len;
tbl = compat_alloc_user_space (len * sizeof (strict kernel_sym));
or ist there a caveat because I do not specify GFP_KERNEL to allow sleeping for
that?
Many thanks for any inputs,
take care
Dieter Jurzitza

We don't use kmalloc() always, in fact most often we use alloc_user_space()
(named compat_alloc_user_space()) so that the limits are the same.
