Subject: [PATCH] Export symbols so CONFIG_INPUT works as a module
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 18:19:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060124181945.GA21955@deprecation.cyrius.com> (raw)
Currently, modular input support fails to load with the following error:
qube:# modprobe input
input: Unknown symbol kobject_get_path
input: Unknown symbol add_input_randomness
In the short run, this can be solved by exporting these two symbols.
There have been discussions about fixing this in a different manner,
see http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.2/1068.html
Since this was in the days of 2.6.12-rc4 and modular input support is
still broken, I suggest these symbols to be exported for now.
