Subject: Exporting ioctls from out-of-tree module to userspace
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:57:07 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53C6CB03.7080709@gmail.com> (raw)
I write an out-of-tree module and now want to export its ioctls to
userspace by installing a header that my modules includes, I was looking
for how to do it but can't get it..
I was trying header-y from
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt but got:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'headers_install'. Stop.
Here is what I'm trying: https://gist.github.com/gkos/b0bc4e29a3147b0e6d3b
I see on kernel that usually the exported headers go in
include/uapi/SOMETHING and are declared on include/uapi/Kbuild.. but
have no idea if this may work for out-of-tree modules, the
headers_install exists on linux Makefile so the 'No rule to make target
'headers_install'' doesn't make sense to me ..
I try follow headers_install target on kernel's Makefile but only got
frustraded :(
Any idea?
ps: I compiled the module but don't loaded it, so it may have mistakes
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
