[PATCH] Export symbols so CONFIG_INPUT works as a module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
