Subject: [PATCH] Better check in show_instructions
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 12:17:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061013021716.GC16029@krispykreme> (raw)
Instead of just checking that an address is in the right range, use the
provided __kernel_text_address() helper which covers both the kernel and
module text sections.
