Hi everybody, I need your help again.
I'm desesperatly tryin to insert some new assembly code in the
linux montavista sources PE 3.1 for a ppc 405EP.
What I'd like to do is to have, in my kernel source file "myfile.S", two
assembly functions and export those symbols to the ksyms table.
The final point for me is to make those symbols availabale for
modules loading.
The functions definition in "myfile.S" is the one below:
/*
myfile.S : DESCRIPTION
This module contains chip-dependent routines written in assembly language.
*/
#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/sys.h>
#include <linux/threads.h>
#include <asm/processor.h>
#include <asm/page.h>
#include <asm/mmu.h>
#include <asm/cputable.h>
#include <asm/ppc_asm.h>
#include <asm/errno.h>
#include <asm/ppc_asm.h>
#include "myfile.h"
#define _ASMLANGUAGE
.globl stas_Read_TBl_F
.globl stas_Set_TBl_F
.text
/******************************************************************************
* stas_Read_TBl_F : This function returns the content of TBL.
* uLong stas_Read_TBl_F(void)
******************************************************************************/
_GLOBAL(stas_Read_TBl_F)
mftb r3
nop
nop
nop
blr
/******************************************************************************
* stas_Set_TBl_F : This function is used to set the TBL.
* void stas_Set_TBl_F(uLong)
******************************************************************************/
_GLOBAL(stas_Set_TBl_F)
mttbl r3
nop
nop
nop
blr
Due to a modified Linux Makefile, it is compiled by the kernel with this command line:
ppc_405-gcc -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__KERNEL__ -I/myWorks/en-cours/linux-2.4.20_mvl31/include [...]
-I/myWorks/en-cours/linux-2.4.20_mvl31/arch/ppc -Wa,-m405 -c -o myfile.o myfile.S
What do I have to do to get both functions in the symbols table when reading/proc/ksyms.
Is there a specific way to do for ppc?
Please help me cause I can't finf any info on that browsing the web.
Tks a lot for your precious help
Jérémie
