What is difference between System.map and /proc/ksyms ?
 
Hello all,
I want to know what consists of System.map and /proc/ksyms in 2.4 series kernel?
where can i get Detailed material on this? Also why netif_receive_skb has 3 entries in System.map?
c01fa570 T netif_receive_skb
c028553c R __kstrtab_netif_receive_skb
c028ab38 R __ksymtab_netif_receive_skb

Also when i compile 2.6.10 kernel i found new file Module.symvers. whats that? In System.map of 2.6.10 i found same 3 en
tires but with 3rd entry having different name as follows.
c03543c0 T netif_receive_skb
c0448e50 r __kstrtab_netif_receive_skb
c043d7a0 r __kcrctab_netif_receive_skb
