关于EXPORT_SYMBOL

EXPORT_SYMBOL标签内定义的函数对全部内核代码公开，不用修改内核代码就可以在您的内核模块中直接调用。
If we want export the symbol in a module, just use the EXPORT_SYMBOL(xxxx) in the C or H file.And compile the module by adding the compile flag -DEXPORT_SYMTAB.Then we can use the xxxx in the other module.


If we want export some symbol in Kernel that is not in a module such as xxxx in the /arch/ppc/fec.c.
Firstly, define the xxxx in the fec.c;
Secondly, make a new file which contain the "extern" define the xxxx(for example, extern int xxxx);
Lastly, in the ppc_ksyms.c we includes the new file, and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL(xxxx).
Then we can use the xxxx.


往往和extern一起用
linux2.6的“/prob/kallsyms”文件对应着内核符号表，记录了符号以及符号所在的内存地址。
模块可以使用如下宏导出符号到内核符号表：
EXPORT_SYMBOL(符号名);  
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(符号名)  
导出的符号可以被其他模块使用，不过使用之前一定要声明一下。EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()只适用于包含GPL许可权的模块。
