[Schemix-devel] Update: Schemix compiles and runs with 2.6

[Cory Cross]

Hello interested people,
  I have updated Schemix w/ Kallsyms to work with the Linux 2.6 kernel. 
I did not try with DevFS, because it is deprecated. I will post the 
updated files as a patch soon. Unfortunately, without knowing another 
way to access kernel non- & exported symbols, a small piece of code has 
to be compiled in the kernel or two separate functions in kallsyms.c and 
module.c need to be exported; I chose the former in order to not change 
other files in the source tree. If you think you can find a better way, 
look around line 1366 of schemix.c when I post it. Unfortunately, it 
does not appear that my code is getting non-exported symbols; for 
example, it won't find kernel::modprobe_path.
  I did some tests and it seems that the kernel-modified commands are 
not very robust to errors, causing kernel seg faults when mispelled 
arguments are given or small errors in formatting. For example, 
assert-type'ing a symbol that does not exist gives a seg fault (okay, I 
fixed that one, but there are more.) kernel-lambda is very touchy also.
