/proc/kallsyms

[Sreedhar Manda]

Hi All
I am working with one Linux based target device which doesn't have /proc/kallsyms file to get the addresses for couple of kernel symbols like kmalloc.

What are the possible ways to get the symbols addresses without rebuild the firmware.

Thanks
Sreedhar

Check out the System.map file in the kernel source folder from where the kernel was built.

Thanks Anil.
It looks System.map file is not available.
Any other possibility...
I looked at below link for R6050 fw 1.0.0.34

Have you not built the firmware? Seems like not. Try objdump -d on the executable image.

Yes. I haven't built the firmware.
My req is how to get the addresses of couple of functions using readily available fw image and running target device.

You mean to say find using disassemble code which is generated by objdump -d

Okay. Thanks Anil.
Monday I will check disassemble code whether I can find the symbol addresses or not.
Please let me know if there are any other possible ways...
