Hi..
After reading Documentation on System.map, i understood that , whenever
an oops happens the following addresses will be converted to its
function name by klogd daemon using System.map.
Now when we have /proc/kallsyms which stores the symbol table in the
kernel image itself.Then what is the need of System.map file??Is any
process or daemon still using it??
