Hi
I am currently trying to understand the boot sequence of Linux.
In the kernel, the 'init' thread after the system is setup for
the user processes it tries to spawn the first user process
using 'kernel_execve'
Now to test this I have written a small module, which when inserted
will spawn a user process from my home directory.
Now, when I compile the module I get error messages that
WARNING: "kernel_execve" [/c/test/skel.ko] undefined!
Why is this happening? Even after I exported the symbol 'kernel_execve'
in the file
<linux>/arch/i386/kernel/sys_i386.c
I am still seeing the same message.
Is something else going in the back ground which I don't understand?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Biswa
