Programming :: Adding External Module To Kernel Source?
Apr 27, 2010
There is a module A which is compiled with the kernel. I wrote an external module B which exported a symbol using EXPORT_SYMBOL.The module A now needs to talk with that exported symbol (function call). For that i modified A so that it includes the function call from B. However i now get unidentified symbol errors during 'make' operation as symbols of B are not present during kernel compile and A now kind of depends on B.
One solution is that make B part of the kernel as well. However, it would mean that whenever now i try to compile a kernel with a different source, i have to modify the config files and everything to accommodate B.Hence i am seeking a solution which does not include modifying the kernel.

I am trying to modify the source code of a C application (quagga) in order to insert data into a mysql table. I have added 2 new source files to the source (neto_mysql, neto_trend) which in turn use mysql.h. I have also modified the Makefile.am file to include the /usr/include/mysql directory.
When trying to compile, i get the following error. What am I missing? I have minimal experience with formal C applications like this. I feel like I may also have to include the mysql.h file in the libbgp? I dont understand why it cant find the mysql functions...
Code:
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSCONFDIR="/usr/local/etc/" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I/usr/include/mysql/ -fPIE -Os -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wsign-compare -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes

I'm trying to build the kernel module for dvbhdhomerun. The problem is the linux kernel headers provided by Debian do not have the dvb header files. Trying to set up my own kernel source tree to use is not working out so well.
I'm following the instructions in the Debian section here: [URL] ....
My first try compiled, but the modules ender up under /lib/modules/3.2.51/extra instead of /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/extra. Why?
I tried to start over, but noticed this while running apt-get source linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64:
Code: Select allReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64'
NOTICE: 'linux' packaging is maintained in the 'Svn' version control system at:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux/
[Code] ....
The failure to verify the signature has me concerned, but beyond that, what do I do about the different version number when compiling and installing the kernel modules?

I`m trying to compile sources of kernel module which has been written for kernel 2.6.9. There were many changes in kernel headers since then in current kernel sources. I`ve found that old /asm/system.h was moved under architecture dedicated directory /arch/*/include/asm/system.h. Anyway during sources compilation I`m having errors related to kernel sources. It looks like there is something wrong with this /asm/system.h
Code:
../asm/system.h: In function �__cmpxchg�:
../asm/system.h:248: error: expected string literal before �LOCK_PREFIX�
../asm/system.h:254: error: expected string literal before �LOCK_PREFIX�

I am looking for information to insert kernel module into kernel. I am not looking at dynamically insert of kernel module using insmod, modprobe etc. I am looking for statically insertion of kernel module procedure, such as what to change on makefile, what to change on menuconfig, what to change on .config file, etc.

There is a file called elevator.c. It is written as a module (i.e it has specific init and exit functions). However we are not able to see it in lsmod listing. We are working on a project where we need to modify this file. Compiling every time we change something will be time consuming. Is it possible to compile just this file and insert it as a normal module?

I'm currently doing a tutorial for writing kernel modules. Right now I'm still at the very beginning, i.e. writing my helloworld stuff.
But what I like to do now is to write stuff onto the console, and I don't get it. According to my tutorials I can print stuff on the console using the printk()-function as long as the priority-level of the macro used in printk() is lower than the console_loglevel (how can I find that value out btw?).
But it doesn't work for me. Even if I use KERN_EMERG it still gets only logged, but not printed on the console and I thought KERN_EMERG get always printed...
Here's my code:
Code:

Everything works fine. But as soon as there are any blanks in mystring, e.g.

I always get

Why do I get this error and how can I insert string with blanks?

I'm trying to compile a Linux kernel module called hello-2.c using the command "make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=${PWD} modules" (without the quotes) (which I found online), and the following is the (seemingly successful) output.:
Code: Select allmake: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 0 modules
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'
However, I don't see a hello-2.ko (in the same folder or anywhere else for that matter). I'm Using Debian GNU/Linux 7.6.
Everything I am doing is within a folder/directory called "thefolder" (without the quotes) in the "/tmp" directory (without the quotes).
Why I can't see a hello-2.ko, and what to do to get it?

I'm trying to debug a module I programmed but I don't want to do it on the running host but against UML (don't want to reboot every 5 minutes).
The UML kernel I downloaded is 2.6.38.2. I have already downloaded the ubuntu kernel headers for this version (they belong to natty though I'm running maverick.... when I installed the .deb file with dpkg I had no problem at all).
Now I'd like to build said module against these headers. How can I do it?
Here's the makefile for my module code...

I'm currently working with wireless network kernel module.
This device initialiy gets its IP address by using DHCP,
but the problem is sometimes the new IP assigned for internal reason.
So what I want to do is assigning new(changed)IP address into exsiting
interface, or occuring DHCP renew event to cause update IP from kernel
level. This shold be done without user's intervention, so whenever the
kernel module detects IP changed(via underlying wireless
communication), it automatically correct update its IP address.
Q1) any functions or api to cause DHCP renew event from kernel level?
Q2) or any functions or api to assign IP address to specific interface?

This for Kernel 2.6.29.6. I'm trying to code a kernel module that displays process information.
how to count opened file descriptors per task. I have been able to write a module that lists all the current process names along with their pid number in /var/log/messages. Basically, I cycle through the ring of processes using the macro for_each_process(task) and printk the comm and pid of each task. I'm trying to see how many file descriptors each task has open. I've been reading up in books and all over the internet. At first I thought I needed to access max_fds under files_struct, but that just lists the maximum number of file descriptors that can be opened per task, which by default is set at 256. I then thought about counting the elements in the fd_array. But then I learned that every task's fd_array is initially set at 32. Now I know that I need to access open_fds of type fd_set * in files_struct. open_fds is a pointer to all the open file descriptors. The problem is that I don't know how to access a pointer of type fd_set.
Is there a good guide or book that really focuses on type fd_set and open_fds? Every book and resource I've read never really go into depth on this. relationship between files struct, open_fds, and the open file descriptors in task?

I need to install module u32 into the netfilter module for kernel 2.6.27.
I did not see the source code in the kernel version I have. where can I find the code for U32 module.
I have checked "netfilter.org" and looks like POM is discontinued. Is the u32 module committed to kernel version 2.6.27 or need to patch it. If yes, where can I find the patch?

I wrote a character device driver for an Embedded Linux build (Kernel Revision 2.6.17.1) running on ARM9. In the module's "read()" function, I'm returning the number of bytes that were copied into the user buffer. I saw some module code samples online and in most cases the "read()" function is returning the number of bytes read.The very strange behavior I saw in my case was, if I use a variable to return the value from the module's "read()" function, the user application reading from the module always saw "0".For instance:
Code:
static int zlg7289_read(struct file *file, char *buf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
