This looks good. A few issues are left:
- the KPROBE_ADDR macro is all uppercase and not exactly very descriptive.
- the symbol name variant should be the default, and no one outside
kprobes.c should know about the KPROBE_ADDR macro
- we should return EINVAL instead of silently discarding things if people
specify a symbol and an address.
- we should have and offset into the symbol specified
The updated patch below does that, aswell as updating the only inkernel
kprobes user (tcp_probe.c) to the new interface (*) and removing the now
obsolete kallsysms_lookup_name export.
(*) tcp_probe.c shows very well how horrible the old interface was, as it's
not portable to ppc64 as-is
