hi all, i'm trying to write a kernel module which will try to access a kernel symbol. but, i dont know exactly from where to start. i'm right now going through the insmod code to better understand how modules are linked to the kernel. can anyone help me find the right place to start. what the module is supposed to do is this: 1. user will pass a string to the module through /proc, /sys or /dev. 2. the module has to find the symbol names matching the user string. 3. then, it has to print the symbol names and its address on to the screen. any help? thank you in advance. jinesh. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
