Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Add modules.builtin.modinfo support
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2019 18:25:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191108172524.468494-1-gladkov.alexey@gmail.com> (raw)
The kernel since version v5.2-rc1 exports information about built-in
modules in the modules.builtin.modinfo. Now, kmod can show complete information
about the built-in modules as well as about external modules. Also kmod can
understand aliases of built-in modules.
Before:
$ modinfo block-major-9-1
modinfo: ERROR: Module block-major-9-1 not found.
After:
$ modinfo block-major-9-1
name: md_mod
filename: (builtin)
alias: block-major-9-*
alias: md
description: MD RAID framework
license: GPL
parm: start_dirty_degraded:int
parm: create_on_open:bool
v2:
* Don't use kmod_file() to parse modules.builtin.modinfo. Instead, parser reads
the file into the buffer by chunks, which reduces the amount of memory.
Alexey Gladkov (4):
libkmod: Add parser for modules.builtin.modinfo
libkmod: Add function to get list of built-in modules
Lookup aliases in the modules.builtin.modinfo
modinfo: Show information about built-in modules
