Partially Ordered TODO list: DONE: oprofile1) Fix rmmod to handle module offsets in /proc/modules DONE: Andi1) Fix new rmmod to set O_SYNC DONE: Petr1) Fix install mess which blows away old modutils sometimes. DONE: Petr2) Dummy insmod -p, -s and -f options. DONE: Modprobe0) Implement modprobe -c (for RH install scripts). DONE: Modprobe5) Implement modules.conf -> modprobe.conf translator DONE: depmod2) Rewrite depmod so it works with modern kernels. DONE: Kallsyms0) Fix kallsyms in modules bug (Ricky Beam's report) DONE: depmod5) Implement PCI ID support etc. DONE: Modprobe1) Release 0.8 Requires Andi1, oprofile1, depmod1, depmod2, Modprobe0, Petr1, Petr2 oprofile2) Fix /proc/modules format Needs oprofile1 oprofile3) Put module location in /proc/modules Needs oprofile2, Rth7 Andi2) Change module->live to module->state, and show in /proc/modules Andi3) Fix kernel to detect old rmmods (using O_SYNC) Needs Andi2 Misc1) Add truncated module check. Adam1) Don't drop lock when rmmod O_NONBLOCK. depmod1) Return depmod to run at "make modules_install" step. depmod3) Implement .modalias support depmod4) Implement symbol: support. Modprobe2) Implement options in modprobe.conf Modprobe3) Implement install in modprobe.conf Modprobe4) Release 0.9 Requires Modprobe2 and Modprobe3 Kallsyms1) Drop the optimization which checks against addr between _stext and _etext, as this skips __init functions on most archs. Kallsyms2) Only put in the symbols for functions (currently CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y adds 400k on my laptop: ouch!). Kallsyms3) Use a simple scheme like the mini-oopser did to reduce the symbol table size furthur (I got it down to 70k IIRC). Kallsyms4) Speed up prototype script by rewriting in C. Kallsyms5) It'd be nice if CONFIG_KALLSYMS=m worked. Rth0) Stylize Rth's patch (piss in the corners, add Rth's copyright) Rth1) Update modutils to handle rth's RT_DYN patch: extensions Rth2) Update depmod to handle rth's export-symbol stuff. Modprobe6) Release 0.10 Requires Rth2 modules_install0) Return to subdirs since mkinitrd needs them Requires Modprobe1 Modprobe7) Restore symbol: support. Requires depmod4 Modprobe8) Restore .modalias support Requires depmod3 Rth3) Update rth's patch to handle ksymoops Rth4) Update rth's patch to handle parameters Rth5) Port rth's patch to ppc and ppc64 Rth6) Port rth's patch to ia64 Rth7) Send rth's patch to Linus Requires Rth0, Rth1, Rth2, Rth3, Rth4, Modprobe6
