Hi all,
Not strictly a redhat issue as such.....but I'm really stuck, tried to
google the issue and just got more and more confused (after 3 days going
in circles).
I need to compile a kernel with a new helloworld module.....
I have done the following...
me@linux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/kernel$ sudo vi helloworld.c
#include <linux/linkage.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
asmlinkage int sys_helloworld() {
printk(KERN_EMERG "hello_world!");
return 1;
}
me@linux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/kernel$ sudo vi Makefile
obj-y += helloworld.o
melinux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/arch/x86/kernel$ sudo vi
/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S
.long sys_sendmmsg /* 345 */
.long sys_setns
.long sys_helloworld
me@linux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4$ sudo vi
/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32.h
changed:
#define __NR_open_by_handle_at 342
#define __NR_clock_adjtime 343
#define __NR_syncfs 344
#define __NR_sendmmsg 345
#define __NR_setns 346
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#define NR_syscalls 347
to:
#define __NR_open_by_handle_at 342
#define __NR_clock_adjtime 343
#define __NR_syncfs 344
#define __NR_sendmmsg 345
#define __NR_setns 346
#define __NR_helloworld 347
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#define NR_syscalls 348
Note the two changes in the above file....
1)added: #define
__NR_helloworld 347
2) changed: #define NR_syscalls 347
to: #define NR_syscalls 348
me@linux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4$ sudo vi
/usr/src/linux-3.0.4/arch/x86/include/asm/syscalls.h
changed:
/* X86_32 only */
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
to:
/* X86_32 only */
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
asmlinkage int sys_helloworld();
when I go to make the kernel, I get:
me@linux1a:/usr/src/linux-3.0.4$ date; sudo make; date

As I've said, I'm stuck, if this is the wrong list, please ignore with
my apologies.
If anyone can help, thanks in advance.
