So I came up with a new approach, using a separate declaration of the symbols, and __print_sym() in there, but to userspace it all doesn't matter, it shows it the same way, just dyamically instead of munging with the strings all the time. This is a huge .data savings as far as I can tell, with a modest amount (~4k) of .text addition, while making it all dynamic and in the SKB dropreason case even reusing the existing list that dropmonitor uses today. Surely patch 3 isn't needed here, but it felt right. Anyway, I think it's a pretty reasonable approach overall, and it does works. I've listed a number of open questions in the first patch since that's where the real changes for this are. johannes
