If you want to recompile there's one more - insmod :), though modprobe would eventually call insmod....so not really different from what you said...but slightly shorter! :) > the whole kernel including A code, A is not a module anymore and you > must play with Makefile and some #ifdef clause inside A's code. only one "play" required :) ....the symbol MODULE is not defined for built-in stuff... > > Ciao ciao > sp0nge > On Tue, 2005-03-01 at 10:14 +0000, sounak chakraborty wrote: > > dear all > > i want to write a module that will take the parameter task_struct p > > and calulate some values > > my question is > > 1.how to pass the parameter from a function to a separate module > > > > 2.i think there are 2 ways to load the module one is through insmod in > > a compiled kernel and the other one is building a module which is > > embedded in the kernel while compiling itself, how to do this one? > > thanks > > sounak > > > > > > > > -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
