Re: linux/module.h does not exist

[Tapas Mishra <mightydreams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sharad you are right.

It did worked I got a warning in it.

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build
M=/home/tapas/LKP/pandora/temp/sample2 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic'
  CC [M]  /home/tapas/LKP/pandora/temp/sample2/sample21.o
/home/tapas/LKP/pandora/temp/sample2/sample21.c: In function ‘init_module’:

but the program in book which is used is


#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
extern void *sys_table[];
asmlinkage int(*main_sys_exit)(int);
asmlinkage int alt_exit_function(int err_code)
{
        printk("Sys_exit called with err_code=%d\n",err_code);
        return main_sys_exit(err_code);
}

int init_module()
{
        main_sys_exit=sys_table[__NR_exit];
        sys_table[__NR_exit]=alt_exit_function;
}
void cleanup_module()
{
        sys_table[__NR_exit]=main_sys_exit;
}



and I made a Makefile for the same as (My program name is sample2.c)

obj-m += sample2.o
all:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean




and got following error with the Makefile approach for the program
given in book.

Any idea of what is it complaining about?
