Hi all,
what do kernel modules libaudit, klog and strlog do?
Specifically I want to determine if it was possible for us to determine if kernel level auditing is enabled at all?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to know the current value of a kernel module parameters after the module is loaded. Are the values of the parameters advertised at some /proc or /sys location ?
The only thing I know is modinfo, that actually looks a the module .ko and gives a... (3 Replies)

I am aware of debugging linux applications using gdb and ddd.
Now I have written a simple kernel module having init_module, exit _module and some functions for tasklets and workqueues.

How can I debug... (1 Reply)

Hey everyone. I have a question, doing an lsmod gives me a list of all the loaded modules for my system. But how did they know to load? my /etc/modules files is empty, so how did these modules know to load themselves on boot time? If I were to take this hard drive to another computer with a...

Hi,
I am running CentOS 6.5 and I want to remove auto loading 8021q and garp modules, but there are no configure files in /etc/modprobe.d define bot modules.

I'm a little embarrassed after all these years I've never really successfully compiled my own kernel. I used this guide to make the following files:

modinfo
MODINFO(8) Linux Module Support MODINFO(8)NAME
modinfo - display information about a kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modinfo [ options ] <module_file>
DESCRIPTION
The modinfo utility examines the object file module_file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean.
OPTIONS
-a, --author
Display the module's author.
-d, --description
Display the module's description.
-fformat_string, --format format_string
Let the user specify an arbitrary format string which can extract values from the ELF section in module_file which contains the mod-
ule information. Replacements consist of a percent sign followed by a tag name in curly braces. A tagname of %{filename} is always
supported, even if the module has no modinfo section. %{kernel_version} shows the version of the kernel the module was compiled
for. %{using_checksums} expands to 1 is the module has versioned symbols and to 0 or <none> otherwise.
A tagname of %{parm} is special: the format string line is repeated for each known module parameter (which may be zero times) and
%{parm} is then replaced by descriptions of module parameters (one parameter on each repeated line).
Alternatively, %a, %d, %l, %n and %p can be used instead of %{author}, %{description}, %{filename}, %{license} and %{parm}, respec-
tively.
-h, --help
Display a summary of options and immediately exit.
-l, --license
Display the module's license.
-n, --filename
Display the module's filename.
-p, --parameters
Display the typed parameters that a module may support.
-V, --version
Display the version of modinfo.
If no options are supplied, the default is filename, description, author, license and parameters.
