Kernel Symbols

iOS's XNU is largely stripped, and contains fewer and fewer symbols with its newer versions. Whereas in pre 3.0 most symbols were visible, nowadays only symbols required for KExt linkage remain so.

This page is started in the hopes of bringing together efforts of the various jailbreakers so as to pool already symbolified sections of the kernel. Because addresses change along with the different builds, please add the symbols under the right kernel version (i.e. release + device). If not 100% sure about a symbol, indicate the level of confidence.

Started with iPod touch 4G, because this is the main kernel the author has largely (>80%) symbolicated. Please add your own. Even if your build is different, the address space doesn't change that much. As of iOS 6 ASLR will shift these symbols by a given offset.

The table below is obsolete - The Joker tool from http://NewOSXBook.com/tools/joker.html exists for the sole purpose of auto-symbolicating kernels, and works on all kernels through XNU 32xx, and symbolicates the symbols below, as well as MIG tables and various other important functions.

symbol	5.0.x iPod touch 4G	5.0.1 iPhone 4S	5.1 iPod touch 4G	6.0 beta 1 iPod touch 4G	6.0 iPod touch 4G	6.0.1 iPod touch 4G	Notes
_exception_triage	0x80016C34	???	...	...	0x80018774	0x80018774	The Mach exception processing logic.
sysent	0x802CCBAC	0x802CBBAC	0x802CCBAC	0x802F00B8	0x802F00B8	0x802F00B8	Through this you can obtain all of XNU's 438 system calls, e.g. _exit @0x8019DE04 on iPod, 0x8019D278 on iPhone 4S, etc.
syscall_names	0x802D2C6C	0x802D1C6C-0x802D2340	0x802D2C5C-0x802D4338	0x802A6538-0x802A7540	0x802E8FB0-0x802E969C	0x802E8FB0-0x802E969C	The char[][] containing the textual names of all system calls
AppleMobileFileIntegrity_Start	0x805E499C	???	0x805D5B94	...	...	...	Initialization of AMFI, the kext responsible for sandbox policies and entitlements
bsd_init	0x802B77C0	???	0x802B8A24	...	0x802B85B4	0x802B9618	BSD layer initialization logic. Branches out to initialize virtually every BSD subsystem. Same as OS X XNU, with minor exception (e.g. kernel_memorystatus/jetsam, iptap..)
ExceptionVectorsBase	0x80078000	0x80078000	0x80078000	...	...	...	Address of CPU exception handlers in kernel space: fleh_reset, fleh_undef, fleh_swi, fleh_prefabt, _fleh_dataabt, _fleh_addrexc and fleh_irq can be obtained from here

Note: For most of the above symbols, a fairly decent source code can be obtained from the public open source XNU available here. Bear in mind that ml_, PE_ and other machine specific functions will naturally be implemented quite differently. (but, it's a start!).
