Comment (by bdubbs):
kmod 27
- Improvements
- Link to libcrypto rather than requiring openssl
- Print a better error message when kernel doesn't support module
unload
- Use PKCS7 instead of CMS for parsing module signature to be
compatible with LibreSSL and OpenSSL < 1.1.0
- Teach modinfo to parse modules.builtin.modinfo. When using Linux
kernel
gt= v5.2-rc1 it's possible to get module information from this new
file. Now
modinfo is able to show it instead of an error message that the
module is
built-in:
Before:
{{{
$ modinfo ext4
modinfo: ERROR: Module ext4 not found.
}}}
After:
{{{
$ modinfo ext4
name: ext4
filename: (builtin)
softdep: pre: crc32c
license: GPL
description: Fourth Extended Filesystem
author: Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie,
Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger,
Theodore Ts'o and others
alias: fs-ext4
alias: ext3
alias: fs-ext3
alias: ext2
alias: fs-ext2
}}}
- Bug fixes
- Do not link python bindings with libpython to be compatible with
python3.8
- Fix module removal with 'modprobe -r' when a dependency is built-in.
Now it properly ignores them and proceed with removal of other
dependencies
- Fix propagation of return code from install/remove commands to the
the probe function. The return values of
kmod_module_probe_insert_module()
have very specific meanings, do not confuse the caller by return
codes
from system()
- Fix softdep config parsing leading to buffer overflow
