#include <linux/module.h> int init_module(const char *name, struct module *image);
The module image begins with a module structure and is followed by code and data as appropriate. The module structure is defined as follows:
struct module { unsigned long size_of_struct; struct module *next; const char *name; unsigned long size; long usecount; unsigned long flags; unsigned int nsyms; unsigned int ndeps; struct module_symbol *syms; struct module_ref *deps; struct module_ref *refs; int (*init)(void); void (*cleanup)(void); const struct exception_table_entry *ex_table_start; const struct exception_table_entry *ex_table_end; #ifdef __alpha__ unsigned long gp; #endif };
All of the pointer fields, with the exception of next and refs, are expected to point within the module body and be initialized as appropriate for kernel space, that is, relocated with the rest of the module.
This system call requires privilege.
