Albert, don't forget user-space :) I see that lot of people is remembering me that all this thing can be done all in user-space, and I am starting to think that user-space is te real answer. Anyway some routines that:
1) read /proc/sys/kernel/boot_image_path 2) open the image (if available) 3) check the match between /proc/cdc32 and bzImage's cdc32 (or md5sum) 4) read the data from the bzImage just opened (if cdc32 succeeds) and display it nicely
could do the job just as well as /proc/ksyms_internal ... and may be they can do a better job since they are just user-space routines and do not involve kernel coding (as alredy explained ... still no choice is made).
Ciao, Riccardo.
