Hi,
I'm trying to test this kernel with network namespace compiled. But I have a
kernel panic (see below) during the boot when loading the module unix.ko (in
af_unix_init).
After some search, it seems that specifying a particular section for some
variables is incompatible with using them in a module.
In my case, when registering per_net__unix_root_table (in function
unix_sysctl_register in file net/unix/sysctl_net_unix.c), it tries to access the
child (which is per_net__unix_net_table) at the address 0x00000080 which is the
address of this symbol in the section .data.pernet of the module object, but not
a virtual address.
When compiling this in the kernel, there is no problem...
As I'm not familiar with the use of some sections in ELF format, I don't know
how to correct this....
By the way, just for my knowledge, what is the advantage of specifying a
particular section (.data.pernet in this case) for some variables ?
Thanks.
Here is the panic:
