Below is an (unfinished) patch, which makes a small but important change
to the module format. The module structure is no longer generated by
insmod and is instead under control of the kernel now. This means we have
now the freedom to properly cleanup the module code without needing to
tell insmod about it. The dependency between insmod and the kernel is
greatly reduced by this.
To further reduce the dependency we need some changes to kbuild to
automatically include start/stop symbols for sections, currently I still
let insmod do that. With this change we can freely change the module
layout, without having to change insmod everytime.
The next steps could be:
1. Properly fixing module races: I'm playing with a init/start/stop/exit
model, this has the advantage that we can stop anyone from reusing a
module and we only have to wait for remaining users to go away until we
can safely unload the module.
For old style modules all the magic would be hidden in module_init(), but
this also means these modules can be loaded, but never unloaded (IMO a
safe default). New style modules could look like this:
DEFINE_MODULE
init: foo_init,
start: foo_start,
stop: foo_stop,
exit: foo_exit,
END_MODULE
BTW this way we could easily generate a listing of built-in modules and so
further reduce the difference between compiled in and separate modules.
2. Since we can extend the module structure now, something like this would
be possible:
DEFINE_FS_MODULE
fs_type: &foo_fs_type,
init: foo_init,
start: foo_start,
stop: foo_stop,
exit: foo_exit,
END_FS_MODULE
This would automatically call register_filesystem(&foo_fs_type) and it
would also take care of correctly unloading the module.
3. Something I was thinking about in this context: Is there a really good
reason, why we have to store the symbol information in the kernel? The
only real user is insmod, which is retrieving and storing that information
in kernel memory. Insmod could as well store this information somewhere
else. This would require a writable fs to load modules, but otherwise I
don't see any real problem. The big advantage would be less data is stored
in the kernel and the module code becomes smaller.
Any comments?
bye, Roman
PS: These patches are in early stage, so I know that they need a cleanup. :)
