find_symbol is only used in module.c.

CCing the livepatching ML, as this may or may not impact its users.

AFAIK, the out-of-tree kpatch module had used find_symbol() in the
past, I am not sure what its current status is. I suspect all of its
functionality has been migrated to upstream livepatch already.

We still have symbol_get(), which is what I thought they were using.


The deprecated (though still in the repo) kpatch.ko still references find_symbol(), but that module is no longer officially supported by the project.

Jessica is correct that the functionality has been migrated upstream.

I don't see any references to symbol_get() either, so we're good on that front, too.

Thanks,
