Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 3a872d89ba [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:

o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
  The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
  architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
  to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
  specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
  However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
  probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
  CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
  the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
  happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
  work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
  work, say, on powerpc)
