This is Task 01 of the Eudyptula Challenge
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write a Linux kernel module, and stand-alone Makefile, that when loaded
|
|
|
|
|
prints to the kernel debug log level, "Hello World!" Be sure to make
|
|
|
|
|
the module able to be unloaded as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Makefile should be able to build the kernel module against the
|
|
|
|
|
source of the currently-running kernel as well as being able to accept
|
|
|
|
|
an arbitrary kernel sources directory from an environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please show proof of this module being built, and running, in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel. What this proof is is up to you. I'm sure you can come up with
|
|
|
|
|
something. Also be sure to send the kernel module you wrote, along with
|
|
|
|
|
the Makefile you created to build the module.

|
* `#include <linux/module.h>` Needed by all modules

|
* `#include <linux/kernel.h>` Needed for KERN_INFO
|
|
|
|
|
* `#include <linux/init.h>` Macros used to mark up functions e.g., __init __exit
