Linux中EXPORT_SYMBOL的用法
EXPORT_SYMBOL标签内定义的函数对全部内核代码公开,不用修改内核代码就可以在您的内核模块中直接调用。您还可以手工修改内核源代码来导出另外的函数,用于重新编译并加载新内核后的测试。
Linux
symbol export method:
[1] If we want export the symbol in a module, just
use the EXPORT_SYMBOL(xxxx) in the C or H file.
And
compile the module by adding the compile flag -DEXPORT_SYMTAB.
Then we can use
the xxxx in the other
module.
[2] If we want export some symbol in Kernel that is not in a
module such as xxxx in the /arch/ppc/fec.c.
Firstly, define
the xxxx in the fec.c;
Secondly, make a new file which contain the "extern" define the xxxx(for example, extern int xxxx);
Lastly, in the ppc_ksyms.c we includes the new file, and
add the EXPORT_SYMBOL(xxxx).
Then we can use the xxxx.
