The repo is in a private repo online, the entry is:
static int __init kernel_module_start(void)
{
    Configuration* configuration = NULL;
    // enable the logger
    Logger_set_enabled(true);
    log_info("Starting Aronetics kernel module (configuration file name:
\"%s\")...\n", _FILE_NAME_CONFIGURATION);
    controller = Controller_new(_FILE_NAME_CONFIGURATION);
    if (controller != NULL)
    {
        configuration = Controller_get_configuration(controller);
        String_dump_and_delete(Configuration_to_string(configuration));
        log_verbose("    Initializing mutex...\n");
        mutex_init(&controller_mutex);
        switch (Configuration_get_execution_mode(configuration))
        {
