I noticed that the checkpatch was coded in Perl. But i am not familiar with the Perl program language, that would be beyond my ability to do this, i have to learn the Perl program language step by step. :-)You could give it a try - it is not hard :-)
Thank you for encouraging me to do the things.
And there's no hurry for this, take your time.
OK. I would like to put this task in my queue. Once i have free time, i will work on this issue.

Do you mean this one 'KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE'?I mean, all those which are unused. Optimally, you should look at the tools and see whether they're using those exports and if not, remove them. But no hurry here too, take your time.
OK. I will check it again, But, basically they are used by Makedumpfile or Crash tools.
My final goal is to have this up-to-date documentation of what is exported and what is used by user tools so that people can look at it first before carelessly exporting yet another thing.
Agree. Thanks, Lianbo
Thx.
