So, the question is how can we step through the initialization function of the module..? "p modules" won't help us..probably looking at /sys is a faster way to find module segment addresses, or am I missing something here in "p modules"??
Why don't you try setting breakpoints in kernel (kernel/module.c) after the module has been loaded but before your modules' init function is called?
From�kernel/module.c , in�SYSCALL_DEFINE3(init_module..):
the line load_module(...) loads your module into the kernel, and �the line do_one_initcall(mod->init); calls the init functions.
So I think if you set a break point in between these lines, you should be able to get the address of text section etc just in time before the init functions is called, using p modules or something.
