Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/4] perf symbols: /proc/kallsyms does not sort module symbols

Hi,

What's the status of this patch?

It is not in 3.1.0-rc7. It is needed!

I ran into serious issues (bogus symbols) with a profile where
kernel modules were stressed and it boiled down to kallsyms__parse()
being broken because /proc/kallsyms is assumed sorted when it actually
is NOT.
