为什么这个内核模块在 2.6.39 上被标记为永久 [英] Why is this kernel module marked at permanent on 2.6.39

问题描述

当我加载这个模块时:

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");

static int hello_init(void) {
  printk("<1> Hello world!
");
  return 0;
}

static void hello_exit(void) {
  printk("<1> Bye, cruel world
");
}


module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);

(来自 http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux?页=0,2 )

在 2.6.39-02063904-generic(来自 Ubuntu PPA).但它在默认的 2.6.38 内核上运行良好.(均在 Ubuntu 11.04 x86 上).

The module get marked as [permanent] in lsmod and can't be unloaded, on 2.6.39-02063904-generic (from the Ubuntu PPA). But it works fine on the default 2.6.38 kernel. (Both on Ubuntu 11.04 x86).

2.6.39 有什么变化?我需要在代码中更改什么?

What has changed in 2.6.39? and what do I need to change in my code?

当我遇到这个问题时，我试图找出一个更复杂的问题.

I was trying to isolate a more complicated problem when I ran into this issue.

根据答案中的建议，我编辑了代码以添加 __init 和 __exit (hello3.c):

Following a suggestion from an answer I edited the code to add __init and __exit (hello3.c):

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");

static int __init hello_init(void) {
  printk("<1> Hello world!
");
  return 0;
}

static void __exit hello_exit(void) {
  printk("<1> Bye, cruel world
");
}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);

构建输出:

hello3.mod.c:

hello3.mod.c:

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/vermagic.h>
#include <linux/compiler.h>

MODULE_INFO(vermagic, VERMAGIC_STRING);

struct module __this_module
__attribute__((section(".gnu.linkonce.this_module"))) = {
 .name = KBUILD_MODNAME,
 .init = init_module,
#ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
 .exit = cleanup_module,
#endif
 .arch = MODULE_ARCH_INIT,
};

static const struct modversion_info ____versions[]
__used
__attribute__((section("__versions"))) = {
    { 0xbe4b3e92, "module_layout" },
    { 0xb4390f9a, "mcount" },
    { 0x5e3b3ab4, "printk" },
};

static const char __module_depends[]
__used
__attribute__((section(".modinfo"))) =
"depends=";


MODULE_INFO(srcversion, "D2A869459874C22AB265981");

还有

# grep CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD /boot/config-2.6.39-02063904-generic 
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y

更有趣的是，我自己编译的香草内核不会发生这种情况-加载和卸载模块很好.

More interestingly it doesn't happen with a vanilla kernel I've compiled myself - that loads and unloads modules fine.

我在 VM 上安装了 Oneiric beta 2 版本，并且 3.0.0-11 内核也没有任何问题.所以它似乎仅限于 Ubuntu Vanilla PPA 内核.解决这个问题不会很有趣.

I installed the Oneiric beta 2 build on a VM, and that 3.0.0-11 kernel doesn't have any problem either. So it appears to be limited to the Ubuntu Vanilla PPA kernels. That won't be much fun to resolve.

推荐答案

所以，在咨询了 Canonical 之后，我知道问题出在哪里了:

So, after consultation with Canonical, I know what the problem is:

Ubuntu 主线构建是使用 Hardy 工具链以及 11.04 和 11.10 工具链构建的与构建树外内核模块不兼容.

Ubuntu mainline builds are built with the Hardy tool chain, and the 11.04 and 11.10 tool chains are incompatible for building out-of-tree kernel modules.
