Do you mean that you want to take user input in kernel mode? I don't think it is a good idea? Why do you want to do that?
I tried it last year to gather some statistics. http://arhuaco.ath.cx/svn/src/pcgotchi/trunk/proc-keystrokes.patch.linux-2.6.12.2.txt Is it what you want? It's a little boring to compile the kernel every time. I read about kernel function hijacking[1], but this approach is platform dependant (and a big hack). http://www.l0t3k.org/biblio/kernel/english/kernel-hijack.txt If I want to do this in a module, what should I read? How can I plug it? Regards. -- http://arhuaco.org/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
