Hi, If you want your system call to be present all the time, then why do you want the module concept? Just add your entry in "entry.S" file and also in "asm/unistd.h" file so that your system call becomes a permanent addition in the OS. But think twice before doing this, since the goal you want to achieve can be accomplished through other means like a driver.

Everything worked fine.I tried all these as a root.But if i want to try this as some other user i know i wont be able to load the module.Is there a way to overcome this.The main idea is all the users should be able to use the new system call.Is there a way like loading the module at the boot time or something so that it will be available all the time and when the machine is shutdown it should be unloaded. thanks and regards, mohan. - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
