My ubuntu version is 9.10
I was working on adding a call system to my linux kernel.
I tried a lot of threads and .pdf files which explaining how to add a system call. Like :
1- This thread
2- .pdf file
and many ..
I tried working with linux-2.6.18.1 , 2.6.33.1 , 2.6.28.1 and many many.
But , all of them are returning -1 as result ..
I prefer working on 2.6.28 kernel version or above like 2.6.33.1
Does anyone have straightforward simple example document for adding a system call on fedora 14 kernel?

I cannot find the syscall_table.S or entry.S file in the source code , so i didn't made the entry of the syscall in this file, how much necessary the entry of syscall presence in this list and how to get this file?
i want to add a new system call.im following this guide [URL] in this step 6 he said add __NR_mycall to some number, in unistd.h. in include/asm/unistd.h there are are around 1079 calls for different hardwares. and the __NR_SYSCALLS is also defined many places. I don't know where to add my new system call. and another qn is. whether the number for syscall in unistd.h and arch/x86/syscall_32.s both should be same?or they can be different.

/*----------Start of mycall.c----------*/
#include <linux/linkage.h>
#include <linux/time.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

so i want a method to test the new system call before compiling kernel.
In practice I have a script that call a java program that call a linux system command. The script if I run it, from a shell functions well,so it is not a java problem. The problem come out when i put this script in a crontab schedulation. The result in this case is that java do not execute the system command. I think it depends on crontab

I have a kernel function device_ioctl(). How do I define it in file_operations?
1. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
ioctl:device_ioctl
};
2. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
.ioctl=device_ioctl
};
3. struct file_operations memory_fops = {
device_ioctl
};
which one is the right one?
I'm trying to use system to call echo and pass variables to it. That was a success. The problem is the variables inside the while-loop i wrote cannot be manipulated. what I'm doing wrong here? here's the code:

I have a process that forks, where the childs puts some data of random size and exits while the parent should get the data and does some manipulation.. here I have used a pipe for child to write the data and parent to read the data.. Child simply dumps the data, and the data is of any size even child and parent doesnt know.
I have used select in the parent to see whether there is any data coming on the reading end of the pipe.. if there is a data.. I copy into a buffer.. Im reading the data continusly when the child exits after closing the writing end of pipe. Parent gets blocked on the read part But my question is how parent know the other of pipe is closed when using the select call. In otherwords.. while using select in readfds, how would i know the other end has closed the pipe..

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am searching for any system call similar to "ls" command we use in shell. My requirement is knowing the files and directories in curent working directory and process them based on there type. Here as of now I spawn another procees with system command like system
("sh ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{print $9}'").
Instead of this I want to use any system command where I can capture this information directly into my local character buffer. My opinion is that system calls will not spawn another process as a result less time it takes, another reason is once I use the system command again I need to capture the information to a local file then again read it into local buffer. I want to avoid the file manipulation here.
I am trying to ptrace a process and when the system call is 'cd' change directory,
the ptrace process is able to trap it by comparing it against "__NR__open" system call. When I try to read the name of the directory from ebx register using peek_data I am getting ".message" and not the directory name.
The same thing works fine when I am tracing a file open system call.
I am trying to figure out how i would go about finding out where system call is made and error checking is not done. I have code below, if somebody can point me in the right direction where system call is made but error checking is not done.Quote:
#include "shell.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone know the reason why a sleep( ) on a Redhat Linux OS would cause the system to indefinitely hang? It's doing this every 10 or so calls in my program and I have to press the reboot button on my computer. My program is reading from a UDP port that has messages sent to it 20 times per second. When I sleep I assume the internal UDP buffer is getting more and more filled.

i've written small tool in C which makes measurements on my router (OpenWrt White Russian).
It is working as a deamon. If the tool is started manually, everything works fine. If it is started per script on startup, the following system call doesn't work :
Code: sprintf(command,"/bin/cat /root/%s%s | /usr/bin/ssh -p2222 user(at)host -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa "/bin/cat >> result/%s%s"", apmac, source, apmac, dest);
rc = system (command); the returned rc in this case is 256.
first i thought it is a problems with the user rights for the tool, so i have added +s to it. but that didn't help. as i said, when the daemon is started by hand, the system call works fine.
I need to receive a number of raw ethernet packets (say, 100 packets) into a user-mode accessible buffer large enough to hold all the packets. The way I have done this so far is by looping over the recvfrom() system call 100 times, passing an incremented pointer addressing the location in my buffer to store the packet. Is there a way to receive the 100 packets into my buffer with one system call, perhaps by instructing the kernel to DMA the 100 packets into my buffer?
