Hi,
I've got a quick question about using openssl within custom kernel
modules that are loaded at runtime.
1) Is openssl designed to be used within kernel modules?
Specifically I want to use some the des and aes encryption routines.
I have a kernel module (for an embedded system) that includes
<openssl/des.h> from 0.9.6d. It compiles and runs :)
I have upgraded to 0.9.8 and I now get *lots* of warnings and errors
because many CPP macros are being redefined, etc.
I figured that any kernel code (including external modules) should not
use outside libraries such as glibc, openssl, etc.
2) Is that a correct interpretation?
3) If I am wrong and it is allowed to use openssl in kernel modules,
then how does one stop system header files interfering with kernel/linux
header files ??? eg. <sys/*> files, etc.
Cheers,
Brendan Simon.
