can't grep start_rodata in /proc/kallsyms
 

Hi,

I'm using Debian squeeze 6.0.1a.

I tried to grep `start_rodata' in /proc/kallsyms but no output. But can succeed with System.map.

root@debian:/boot# uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

root@debian:/boot# grep _start_rodata /proc/kallsyms
root@debian:/boot# grep _start_rodata /boot/System.map-2.6.32-5-686
c1273000 R __start_rodata
root@debian:/boot#

How can I know where went wrong?

I don't think there's anything wrong here. /proc/kallsyms only contains
text (function) symbols.
