Missing xtime_lock on Centos 5

Hello folks,

I've been trying to compile the iomtr_kstat kernel module from
2008-06-22-rc2 against my current centos 5.

The compile process reports a missing symbol (xtime_lock).
WARNING: "xtime_lock"
[/tmp/iometer-2008-06-22-rc2/iometer-2008_06_28.linux.x86_64-bin/src/iomtr_kstat/iomtr_kstat.ko]
undefined!

I'm running on that kernel :
Linux max2.paris 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 09:19:49 EST 2008
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

kallsyms confirms that xtime_lock isn't defined.
[root@max2 iomtr_kstat]# grep xtime_lock /proc/kallsyms
[root@max2 iomtr_kstat]#

How can this be fixed on this kernel series ?
IIRC, xtime_lock is published (or not) directly by the kernel regarding
the hardware capabilities.
So, I don't think I can tweak the kernel or probe a module to have that
symbol exported;

Any thoughts on that ?

Regards,
Erwan Velu

you ONLY need that module for xscale CPU. ignore it. just build dynamo
and iometer.
