Hi, I'm working on a project related to no-downtime recovery of device drivers. I wish to allocate a special section in module code and store a copy of the .data section that a module can potentially modify. I intend to use this section to store a copy of initial .data values that a driver may modify during the course of its operation. I want my section to be towards the end and page-aligned. I was wondering what would be my start and end addresses for this section. I looked into layout_sections being called from sys_init_module in module.c and I'm having trouble understanding it completely. I was wondering how I would go about adding a section here. Is there any space in the headers between 1 and hdr->e_shnum (where hdr is ELF header)? Or will need to add beyond e_shnum. Kindly help.
