From 511ca6ae43fbe0a7c9e0b50ad275f7ef24ef3b58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 12:59:08 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] module: fix crash in get_ksymbol() when oopsing in module init Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module. For most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module load (inside mod->strtab). If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy. (Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a compacted core-only strtab).
