Hi All,
I built the kernel on RedHat Linux 7 after configuring the build (make menuconfig) for SMP kernel. After installing the kernel (copy bzImage to /boot directory and run lilo) I rebooted the system to run the new kernel. Then I looked at the /proc/ksyms file to see if the symbol names are proper or not and they were not. For example, the symbol name for
scsi_register --> scsi_register_R__ver_scsi_register instead of scsi_register_Rsmp<some number>
Similarly for
pci_read_config_dword ---> pci_read_config_dword_R_ver_str(2ca7e89f) instead of pci_read_config_dword_Rsmp<some number).
In the second case, the macro _ver_str does not seem to be getting expanded. Probably the definition of _ver_str is missing or is under some ifdef which is missing.
I think somthing is changed in the build process in the RedHat Linux 7 , but I don't know what. I think __module__smp or something like that is missing from CFLAGS. or probably that define is missing from some header file.
I am sure somebody must have faced this problem with RedHat 7. If you know the solution, please let me know.
THanks and regards, -hiren
