This article will provide a complete analysis of the dynamic loading process of kernel modules. To emphasize, we are organizing the dynamic loading process in this section, which involves compiling into a <span>ko</span> file and using the <span>insmod</span> method to load it, which differs from the <span>built-in</span> process where the kernel automatically loads modules. First, … Read more
In-Depth Analysis of Memory Mapping in Linux Device Drivers 1. In-Depth Analysis of Working Principles Memory mapping (Memory Mapping, <span>mmap</span>) is a method that directly maps device memory or driver kernel buffers into the user process address space. The core idea is: to establish a direct mapping from a virtual memory area (VMA) to physical … Read more
