dear list, assume i have a module named 'my_driver' loaded into my 2.6.5 kernel memory. further on i know where the module lives at, taken the information from /proc/modules. now with these informations, is it possible to obtain the module struct for that module? the address that can be obtained from /proc/modules is the first executable code in the module. grep "my_driver" | /proc/kallsyms shows the address where the module lives as the init_module function, pretty obvious. i tried reading in a struct module from that address on but that obviously didnt return the wanted results. does the kernel store a list of modules that is accessible from userspace? i found a macro in linux/module.h named THIS_MODULE that returns &__this_module. but when i assign a struct module *module = THIS_MODULE and later try to printf some of the values, it does segfault. yes, i used malloc on the struct before but when trying to access &__this_module directly it gives me: error: `__this_module' undeclared (first use in this function), maybe thats the reason for letting it segfault. any ideas? thanks for your time! threadhead _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE Virenschutz schuetzt Ihr Postfach vor dem Wurm Netsky.A-P!
