Hi,

I just tried lockmeter for some spinlocks introduced in a kernel module.
However I couldn't find the appropriate spinlock symbol in the output obtained by "lockstat print".


I got a lot of information about spinlocks used in "built-in" kernel drivers, etc.

Is it really true that lockmeter does not work for kernel modules loaded at runtime? Or is it "hidden" behind some symbol denoted by an address?

Thanks,

  Florian

Linux 2.6.17 on x86 SMP (with lockmeter patch 2.6.16)
lockstat 1.4.11
