Last time I checked on Linux:
[root@kozaczek j2me]# ls -l /proc/ksyms -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mai 2 19:42 /proc/ksyms
Compare this with the following on Solaris:
www01:/kernel/drv# ls sy sy.conf sy sy.conf www01:/kernel/drv# file sy sy: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1 www01:/kernel/drv# cat sy.conf # # Copyright (c) 1992, by Sun Microsystems, Inc. # #ident "@(#)sy.conf 1.4 93/06/03 SMI"
name="sy" parent="pseudo" instance=0; www01:/kernel/drv# www01:/kernel/drv# nm sy 0000000000000014 T _fini 0000000000000028 T _info 0000000000000000 T _init U cdev_ioctl U cdev_poll U cdev_read U cdev_write .... 0000000000000278 T syclose 0000000000000488 T syioctl 0000000000000140 T syopen 00000000000005b0 T sypoll 0000000000000280 T syread 0000000000000384 T sywrite www01:/kernel/drv# strings sy Indirect driver for tty 'sy' www01:/kernel/drv#
And then think about the fact that they are able to even *patch* running kernels. There is no way I can be convinced that the whole versioning stuff is neccessary or a good design for any purpose.
