[PATCH] load_module_symbols_helper().

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Dave,

I wuold like to send one more patch which is helper of load_module_symbols().
(Simplified usage by resolving some module parameters at API inside.)

This is useful for dynamic module loading from extension modules
to be coordinated with previous ikconfig patch.

Also add new env CRASH_MODULE_PATH which can use from setenv() or export.
If load_module_symbols_helper() result is wrong, set this env properly.

[ remaining issues ]
 - Search basic kernel module path to be installed
   Try some closer path to default but enough or right?
 - .gnu.linkonce.this_module section
   In x86_64, module name '-' is changed with '_' in this section.
   Is this conversion arch depend? or Any other specific chars?

Thanks,
Toshi.
