Features:
=========
* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
bsearch().
* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
* create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
so we're able to create unit tests
* Add functions to dump configuration
* Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep
* provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe
- dump configuration
* provide depmod:
- add missing libkmod-elf.c functions:
- fetch_tables()
- deref_sym() (used by fetch_tables)
- add index writing functions to kmod-depmod.c
- 1:1 compatible kmod-depmod.c
* review API, maybe unify all of these setters:
- kmod_module_version_get_symbol()
- kmod_module_version_get_crc()
- kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol()
- kmod_module_symbol_get_crc()
- kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol()
- kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc()
- kmod_module_versions_free_list()
- kmod_module_symbols_free_list()
- kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list()
* provide modules.archive, a cache file with all modules compressed
and a fast access. It's like a tar.gz, but with each entry
compressed as opposed to the whole tar compressed, easy to pick
individual entries, that is, more like .gz.tar. As zlib compression
does not store the uncompressed file size, this could provide
it. The file format should be something like:
MAGIC-ID
DIRECTORY-ENTRY-SIZE
DIRECTORY (hash-like format, points to file offset and size)
ENTRIES (each is a compressed module)
Helper binary to:
kmod-archive list
kmod-archive add path.ko
kmod-archive rm path.ko
kmod-archive get path.ko
kmod-archive exists path.ko
Known Bugs:
===========
Notes for future development:
=============================
* Kill support for /etc/modprobe.conf
* Kill support for map files
Things to be added removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
===================================================================
* list of currently loaded modules
* module's size should be available under /sys
* kill /proc/modules ?
