This repo contains some very basic linux kernel modules to illustrate the basic concepts of kernel programming.

Reference: [The LKM programming Guide](https://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/lkmpg.pdf).

1. Basic Hello World Module.

2. Usage of __init & __exit macros.

3. Module Licensing and Documentation.

4. Module Parameters.

5. Simple Character Device Driver.

6. /proc File System Module.

7. /proc using Standard File System.

8. Managing procfs with seq_file.

9. IOCTL (Input/Output ConTroL).

### Tracing syscalls while executing a program:

`strace  `

### Some useful StackOverflow Threads:

1. [proc_root](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2531730/linux-kernel-module-creating-proc-file-proc-root-undeclared-error)

2. [Using newer Kernel APIs](https://devarea.com/linux-kernel-development-creating-a-proc-file-and-interfacing-with-user-space/#.XtSHRhbhWUk)

3. [create_proc_entry() alternative](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18565381/what-is-alternative-of-create-proc-entry)
