Re: System.map in UML

[Eugene Teo <eugene.teo@eugeneteo.net>]

Strange, I get kernel panic when i get the address from System.map.
The address is rather to the low side, I am not sure if this address
can be "used" but when I used the symbol address from /proc/ksyms,
I am able to overwrite the syscall, and it works! :-)
