Getting address of a symbol from kernel's symbol table.

[arif]

arif at khost:~/src/linux$ global -x ip_rcv_finish
ip_rcv_finish     319 net/ipv4/ip_input.c static int 
ip_rcv_finish(struct sk_buff *skb)

Now if i want to use this function i need to initialize a pointer to 
this function.

To be able to do that i need the address of the function.

I've seen that from user space i can read /proc/kallsyms to get an 
address of a symbol. Is their any similar mechanism exist where i can 
read the symbol table to extract a symbol's address from kernel space?
