Hello, i am looking for some infos (may be papers) about how KLD linker works. After kompiling the KLD contain two important sections: % readelf -S mymod.ko | grep set [ 7] set_sysinit_set PROGBITS 00000560 000560 000004 00 A 0 0 4 [ 8] set_modmetadata_s PROGBITS 00000564 000564 000008 00 A 0 0 4 ..... sysinit_set -contain a structure with a pointer to function which will be called by loading of KLD modmetadata_set - what kind of information is there and which functions of linking/loading use it ? What exact does the macro MODULE_DEPEND ? The man page is to short, and I guess it tell no all things that the macro does. Thanks
