Hi,
Is there any way to call a function defined in a kernel
module from within the kernel proper?
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to keep track of when and for how long a process
is being executed on the processor, i.e. I need to know when
context switches occur.
There is a function called context_switch()
in linux/kernel/sched/core.c that is called whenever a context
switch happens. I would like to call a function in a kernel
module I've written from within context_switch() and pass some
data to it.
There are lots of ways to do it, maybe you don't need to write a
module or hacking the kernel like that... Check perf and systemtap.
They may help.
I've seen how to communicate between user space and kernel
space, such as using a file in /dev or using system calls, but
not how to communicate within the kernel itself.

Drew
