There's no reason kmod_log should be exported, remove it from linker
script. This doesn't break the API/ABI because we are luck: since the
function had visibility=hidden it was not getting exported as a global
symbol.
This is a more generic method of applying filters to module lists. This
deprecates kmod_module_get_filtered_blacklist() which now simply returns
a call to _apply_filter with the extra filter enum arg.
Provide a function to dump the index files to a certain fd. It could be
more optimized (particularly the functions to dump the index that were
copied and pasted from m-i-t), but it seems like the only user of it is
'modprobe -c', used for debugging purposes. So, keep it as is.
Config iterators are useful to get each configuration list, remember its
type and how to get their key/value pair.
softdeps don't have the value yet, because they are stored as string
vectors.
Treat module insertion as modprobe does: look for (soft-)dependencies, run
install commands, apply blacklist.
The difference with the blacklist is that it's applied to all modules,
including the dependencies. If you want to apply a blacklist only on the
module it's better to call the filter function by yourself.
This implementation detects loops caused by poorly written
soft-dependencies and fail gracefully, printing the loop to the log.
Uses kmod_elf_get_dependency_symbols() that looks into ".symtab" for
UNDEF symbols and matches the name from ".strtab" to "__versions" to
get crc.
Likely the public API should unify the symbol information getters and
list release, they are almost the same.
Similar to module-init-tools load_symbols(), it will try .symtab and
.strtab for symbols starting with __crc_, if they are found their crc
is read from ELF's Elf_Sym::st_value.
If not found, then it will fallback to __ksymtab_strings.
Remove function kmod_resolve_alias_options since it's not needed
anymore. Test is using the following configuration file:
alias blablabla ac
options ac test=1
options blablabla test=2
Lookup test by module name:
$ ./test/test-lookup ac
libkmod version 1
Alias: 'ac'
Modules matching:
ac
options: 'test=1'
Lookup test by alias:
$ ./test/test-lookup blablabla
libkmod version 1
Alias: 'blablabla'
Modules matching:
ac
options: 'test=1 test=2'
This will be required to implement modprobe later. The implementation
follows "man modprobe.conf" and allows options to be specified for
alias as well, thus the need for kmod_resolve_alias_options().
Example mod-a.conf:
options mod-a a=1 b=2
options mod-a c=3
alias mymod-a mod-a
options mymod-a d=4
Results in:
options mod-a a=1 b=2 c=3
options mymod-a a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4
Install commands are being concatenated with ";", but manpage is not
clean about this behavior.
kmod_module_get_dependency is renamed to kmod_module_get_dependencies
since it's returning a list. To match other APIs, now it returns a new
list that user must free with kmod_module_unref_list().
kmod_loaded_get_list() now returns a regular list of kmod_modules, use
kmod_module_get_module(), kmod_module_unref() and
kmod_module_unref_list() to operate on it.
provide means to get:
* refcount
* initstate
* holders
* sections
this can be used to individually query properties from modules,
similar to /proc/modules (kmod_loaded / kmod_loaded_module).
We return a kmod_list when searching for an alias. Right now, it only
search for aliases in config files.
To use it, we create a list:
list = NULL;
kmod_module_new_from_lookup(..., &list);
And iterate over it to get the modules and their details:
kmod_list_foreach(l, list) {
struct kmod_mod *mod = kmod_module_get_module(l);
...
... kmod_module_get_name(mod);
... kmod_module_get_path(mod);
}
Aliases might contain globs and are match by using fnmatch().
