Hey guys, me again. :)
So, my device is working great now that I can access the GPIO pins via
userspace (using iotools w/ Tom Sylla's help) and can power on the
device. However, I'd like to be able to toggle the power on via a kernel
driver as well, but I'm having trouble accessing the same memory range
from kernelspace.
For example:
iotools io_read8 0xA00
Will return the state of the first 5 GPIO pins. I see that iotools calls
iopl() to be able to access this location from userspace.
When I try to do the same thing in the kernel:
unsigned short b;
unsigned short* ptr = (unsigned short*)(0xA00);
if(access_ok(VERIFY_READ, ptr, 8)) {
get_user(b, ptr);
...I immediately get a segfault. From what I've read and seen in other
example code, I believe I'm doing this right. However, I may be making
some wrong assumptions. I was just curious if anyone would be able to
shed some light on the subject--perhaps I'm missing some virtual memory
offset functions or similar...
