Thanks. It says that "T" is global text symbol, and that "t" is a local text symbol. I thought /proc/kallsyms only contained exported symbols, but I guess that's not true?

I just noticed something. On my 2.6.4 (Suse 9.1) kernel, /boot/System.map-`uname -r` conflicts with /proc/kallsyms.


For instance, if I execute this command:

for i in `grep -w T /boot/System.map-2.6.4-52-smp | awk '{ print $3 }'`; do grep "\ t\ $i" /proc/kallsyms ; done

I get a long list of symbols that have a "T" in System.map but a "t" in /proc/kallsyms. Which one should I believe?
