| Lucas De Marchi | 5e690c5 | 2011-12-16 02:02:58 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | ========= |
| Lucas De Marchi | bf89f76 | 2011-12-01 18:23:47 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | |
| 4 | * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a |
| 5 | vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling |
| 6 | bsearch(). |
| 7 | |
| Lucas De Marchi | c3325cf | 2011-12-02 14:49:57 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one |
| 9 | with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it. |
| 10 | |
| Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri | c3d0a5f | 2011-12-11 19:36:18 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | * create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries |
| Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri | 7fe602b | 2011-12-10 13:32:27 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | so we're able to create unit tests |

| Lucas De Marchi | d68ea2a | 2011-12-14 14:02:28 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | * Add functions to dump configuration |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep |
| 17 | |
| Lucas De Marchi | d68ea2a | 2011-12-14 14:02:28 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | * provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe |
| Lucas De Marchi | d68ea2a | 2011-12-14 14:02:28 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | - dump configuration |
| Lucas De Marchi | d68ea2a | 2011-12-14 14:02:28 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | |
| Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri | 674f859 | 2011-12-20 11:54:53 -0200 | [diff] [blame^] | 21 | * provide depmod: |
| 22 | - add missing libkmod-elf.c functions: |
| 23 | - fetch_tables() |
| 24 | - deref_sym() (used by fetch_tables) |
| 25 | - add index writing functions to kmod-depmod.c |
| 26 | - 1:1 compatible kmod-depmod.c |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * review API, maybe unify all of these setters: |
| 29 | - kmod_module_version_get_symbol() |
| 30 | - kmod_module_version_get_crc() |
| 31 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol() |
| 32 | - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc() |
| 33 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol() |
| 34 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc() |
| 35 | - kmod_module_versions_free_list() |
| 36 | - kmod_module_symbols_free_list() |
| 37 | - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list() |
| 38 | |
| Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri | f841e63 | 2011-12-19 11:37:08 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | * provide modules.archive, a cache file with all modules compressed |
| 40 | and a fast access. It's like a tar.gz, but with each entry |
| 41 | compressed as opposed to the whole tar compressed, easy to pick |
| 42 | individual entries, that is, more like .gz.tar. As zlib compression |
| 43 | does not store the uncompressed file size, this could provide |
| 44 | it. The file format should be something like: |
| 45 | MAGIC-ID |
| 46 | DIRECTORY-ENTRY-SIZE |
| 47 | DIRECTORY (hash-like format, points to file offset and size) |
| 48 | ENTRIES (each is a compressed module) |
| 49 | Helper binary to: |
| 50 | kmod-archive list |
| 51 | kmod-archive add path.ko |
| 52 | kmod-archive rm path.ko |
| 53 | kmod-archive get path.ko |
| 54 | kmod-archive exists path.ko |
| 55 | |

| 66 | |
| 67 | Things to be added removed in kernel (check what is really needed): |
| 68 | =================================================================== |
| 69 | |
| 70 | * list of currently loaded modules |
| 71 | |
| 72 | * module's size should be available under /sys |
| 73 | |
| 74 | * kill /proc/modules ? |
