pooka 696ffdd08a note module changes 2010-03-05 18:51:22 +00:00
wiz bba67e2c66 Sync usage with man page. 2009-06-11 08:12:00 +00:00
wiz d28fa3c589 Remove -P from -p section, not from -f one. 2009-06-11 08:11:52 +00:00
jnemeth 59cc9994df -p -P doesn't make much sense since no module will be loaded. 2009-06-10 03:30:32 +00:00
jnemeth cbd3656645 Add the MODCTL_NO_PROP flag to tell the kernel to ignore <module>.prop.
Add the '-P' option to modload(8) to set this flag.
2009-06-09 20:35:02 +00:00
jnemeth 5ce0121eaa Add a new [-d var] option which when combined with -p and -m will allow
you to delete vars from the existing <module>.prop file.
2009-06-05 11:37:30 +00:00
wiz 0246bc0bc2 Sort options. 2009-06-05 09:31:07 +00:00
jnemeth 3ee4fdb595 Add a "-m plist" option. This option will read in an existing
<module>.prop file and merge any options supplied on the "command
line".

This code will serve as the basis for in-kernel merging.
2009-06-04 02:57:01 +00:00
jnemeth 3431c6b695 fputs() instead of puts() so we don't get the silly extra blank line 2009-05-19 22:55:24 +00:00
wiz 04c4f4a1d1 Sync usage and man page. 2009-05-19 22:39:52 +00:00
wiz d4f65fc8c5 Sort option descriptions. Split usage in SYNOPSIS in two, since there
are two different methods of calling it.
Add arguments to option descriptions.
2009-05-19 22:35:41 +00:00
jnemeth 47371f5f63 Add -p option which outputs a property list suitable for loading with a
module.  This is in preparation for having the kernel load an optional
<module>.prop alongside a module, which is useful for passing options
to autoloaded modules and modules loaded at boot time.

uwe 2b5d806dfe Punctuation formatting nit. 2008-11-17 02:32:09 +00:00
ad 0efea177e3 Remove LKMs and switch to the module framework, pass 1.
Proposed on tech-kern@.

martin ce099b4099 Remove clause 3 and 4 from TNF licenses 2008-04-28 20:22:51 +00:00
jmmv 9e8fd365e9 Add the ability to specify load-time properties for modules. This adds
three new flags to the new modload utility: -b, -i and -s, which are used
to pass boolean, integer and string parameters respectively.
2008-03-02 11:20:59 +00:00
jmmv be1e5d770b Always test MKMODULAR with != "no". Requested by mrg@. 2008-02-10 08:21:25 +00:00
jmmv 97f434a8b4 Reverse MKMODULAR checks. 2008-02-09 22:32:38 +00:00
jmmv 8983cf2933 Recognize MKMODULAR and build the appropriate tool. 2008-02-09 19:33:00 +00:00
ad bbc79e58a6 Pull in my modules code for review/test/hacking. 2008-01-16 12:34:50 +00:00
ross a75e5e7741 Replace complicated test for ELFSIZE 64 with #ifdef _LP64 which is
the netbsd convention. Rig the old test temporarily to a #error
sanity check.
2006-07-08 05:49:01 +00:00
reed f21a315136 In the DIAGNOSTICS section, document that mismatched LKM and kernel
versions will be reported to the console and to the system message
buffer.

And update documentation date.

rumble e948e1b17f Check for allocation failures in malloc, calloc, realloc, asprintf, and
vasprintf and try to handle them.
2006-03-17 15:53:46 +00:00
christos 2c6eadc9ce Move WARNS=3 to the Makefile.inc, and add a little const to the remaining
programs that did not compile before.

matt 0e46a38f38 Terminate variable argument list with NULL, not 0. 2005-04-25 01:33:03 +00:00

jrf 190b2e4c51 Replaced strncpy with strlcpy. Thanks to Peter Postma who
pointed them our in PR #25762. Approved by christos@NetBSD.org.
2004-09-07 13:20:39 +00:00
nathanw fa3249e24a Remove an extraneous comment before main() that seems to have been
accidentally cut-and-pasted in with rev 1.30.
2004-06-28 19:27:06 +00:00
cjep 9c1d6b6c10 Put -T in usage output. PR#25875 from Kouichirou Hiratsuka. 2004-06-08 19:25:16 +00:00
wiz 080a1b9108 Remove superfluous TRUE and FALSE definitions.
Noted by Jeff Ito in PR 24845.
2004-03-19 12:04:37 +00:00
kleink 888c4ead28 Update the change from rev. 1.42 to reflect that MAXPATH includes room
for the terminating NUL character.
2004-02-12 21:10:39 +00:00
jdolecek a09b055053 it's not correct to use MAXPATHNAME-sized buffer for link command, as
pointed out by Klaus Klein (original idea was that it should hold at least
the pathname ...); instead, let the ELF and a.out backends allocate memory
for the link command, and get rid of the fixed size buffer altogether
2004-02-11 18:42:37 +00:00
jdolecek b69e6f038b use MAXPATHLEN-sized buffer for module paths
reported and fix provided in bin/24379 by Nicolas Joly

fvdl d9495c6d9a Don't compare an integer to NULL. 2003-10-21 02:31:08 +00:00
wiz 495a82c52c New sentence, new line; improve grammar. 2003-09-06 20:09:26 +00:00
jdolecek ade4df3adc implement support for forced LKM load, which makes the kernel skip
the version checks, using new -f flag and LMFORCE ioctl

Hopefully the description in the manpage is discouraging enough so that
nobody would dare even _think_ of using forced loads. A warning
message is written to stderr when this is used, just in case.

itojun 354140d884 remove obsolete comment 2003-07-13 07:45:27 +00:00
itojun 59b2dcde2e asprintf() is easier than malloc + sprintf 2003-07-12 16:52:22 +00:00
ragge 46943c2cf6 Try first to use /dev/ksyms to get kernel symbols, if that fails mutter a
bit and fallback to the old way.
2003-04-24 20:18:31 +00:00
jdolecek 40d3f26f8c desupport LMRESERV_O, anything relying on it doesn't have chance of working
anyway due to numerous kernel structure changes
2003-04-11 07:49:31 +00:00
wiz 990562bfef .Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.

grant c39c2e62d5 'NetBSD.org' and some mdoc fixes. 2003-02-14 16:21:47 +00:00
atatat 1784bd0a07 If no other name is specified, and machdep.booted_kernel is present
and names a file, use that as a the default kernel, otherwise fall
back to /netbsd.

Makes lkms work *much* better when you're testing kernels that are not
named /netbsd.

simonb da75d51b40 Add support for using an optional linker script (/usr/lkm/ldscript if
found, and overridable by the -T option).
2002-10-10 01:57:10 +00:00
simonb 99f05800ca Use "type *" instead of "type*". 2002-10-07 02:33:55 +00:00

lha 4fa2032edc uppercase the lkm kernel-userspace dev macros and prefix them with LKM_
make modload print the bdev and cdev major when its a dev lkm
