Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:14:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Matti Linnanvuori <mattilinnanvuori@...oo.com> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: bugme-daemon@...nel-bugs.osdl.org Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 8957] New: Exported functions and variables It seems to me that kernel/module.c allows the whole kernel to use exported symbols during the execution of the init function if they are weak: /* Ok if weak. */ if (ELF_ST_BIND(sym[i].st_info) == STB_WEAK) break; That seems a possible way to produce the scenario of this so-called bug. ________ Yahoo!
