STAP depends on...

[Sebastien Decugis]

Quick addition:
for some kernels (I think 2.6.9 to 2.6.11) you have to do the following
hack as well:
=================================
--- linux-2.6.11.prev/kernel/kallsyms.c	2005-09-28 18:18:22.000000000
+0200
+++ linux-2.6.11/kernel/kallsyms.c	2005-10-17 13:29:34.000000000 +0200
@@ -145,6 +145,7 @@
 	}
 	return module_kallsyms_lookup_name(name);
 }
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(kallsyms_lookup_name);
 
 /* Lookup an address.  modname is set to NULL if it's in the kernel. */
 const char *kallsyms_lookup(unsigned long addr,
==================================

Best regards,
Seb.
