Subject: [PATCH v3 bpf-next 0/2] bpf: add a ksym BPF iterator
a ksym BPF iterator would be useful as it would allow more flexible
interactions with kernel symbols than are currently supported; it could
for example create more efficient map representations for lookup,
speed up symbol resolution etc.
The idea was initially discussed here [1].
Changes since v2 [2]:
- set iter->show_value on initialization based on current creds
and use it in selftest to determine if we show values
(Yonghong, patches 1/2)
- inline iter registration into kallsyms_init (Yonghong, patch 1)
Changes since RFC [3]:
- change name of iterator (and associated structures/fields) to "ksym"
(Andrii, patches 1, 2)
- remove dependency on CONFIG_PROC_FS; it was used for other BPF
iterators, and I assumed it was needed because of seq ops but I
don't think it is required on digging futher (Andrii, patch 1)
