Hi John
We have a little research team which tries various methods to speed up
interprocess communication and this is going to be a part of it, which I was
asked to implement.
so, I would like to know if we can make a system call from within the
kernel.
I tried doing it , by calling getpid() from a system call that i already
wrote. but, while make bzImage, kernel complains as "getpid() undefined
symbol".
within my system call code, I called getpid() as
printk("Process Id %d\n",getpid());
and the compiler shouts for this.
I hope this explains u my position.
thanks!
CHarumathi.
