1 Partially Ordered TODO list:
3 DONE: oprofile1) Fix rmmod to handle module offsets in /proc/modules
4 DONE: Andi1) Fix new rmmod to set O_SYNC
5 DONE: Petr1) Fix install mess which blows away old modutils sometimes.
6 DONE: Petr2) Dummy insmod -p, -s and -f options.
7 DONE: Modprobe0) Implement modprobe -c (for RH install scripts).
8 DONE: Modprobe5) Implement modules.conf -> modprobe.conf translator
9 DONE: depmod2) Rewrite depmod so it works with modern kernels.
10 DONE: Kallsyms0) Fix kallsyms in modules bug (Ricky Beam's report)
11 DONE: depmod5) Implement PCI ID support etc.
12 DONE: Modprobe1) Release 0.8
13 Requires Andi1, oprofile1, depmod1, depmod2, Modprobe0, Petr1, Petr2
15 oprofile2) Fix /proc/modules format
17 oprofile3) Put module location in /proc/modules
20 Andi2) Change module->live to module->state, and show in /proc/modules
21 Andi3) Fix kernel to detect old rmmods (using O_SYNC)
24 Misc1) Add truncated module check.
26 Adam1) Don't drop lock when rmmod O_NONBLOCK.
28 depmod1) Return depmod to run at "make modules_install" step.
29 depmod3) Implement .modalias support
30 depmod4) Implement symbol: support.
32 Modprobe2) Implement options in modprobe.conf
33 Modprobe3) Implement install in modprobe.conf
34 Modprobe4) Release 0.9
35 Requires Modprobe2 and Modprobe3
37 Kallsyms1) Drop the optimization which checks against addr between _stext and
38 _etext, as this skips __init functions on most archs.
39 Kallsyms2) Only put in the symbols for functions (currently CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
40 adds 400k on my laptop: ouch!).
41 Kallsyms3) Use a simple scheme like the mini-oopser did to reduce the symbol
42 table size furthur (I got it down to 70k IIRC).
43 Kallsyms4) Speed up prototype script by rewriting in C.
44 Kallsyms5) It'd be nice if CONFIG_KALLSYMS=m worked.
46 Rth0) Stylize Rth's patch (piss in the corners, add Rth's copyright)
47 Rth1) Update modutils to handle rth's RT_DYN patch: extensions
48 Rth2) Update depmod to handle rth's export-symbol stuff.
49 Modprobe6) Release 0.10
52 modules_install0) Return to subdirs since mkinitrd needs them
55 Modprobe7) Restore symbol: support.
57 Modprobe8) Restore .modalias support
60 Rth3) Update rth's patch to handle ksymoops
61 Rth4) Update rth's patch to handle parameters
62 Rth5) Port rth's patch to ppc and ppc64
63 Rth6) Port rth's patch to ia64
64 Rth7) Send rth's patch to Linus
65 Requires Rth0, Rth1, Rth2, Rth3, Rth4, Modprobe6
