Linux Kernel 之 symbol

Linux symbol export method:

[1] 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.

[2] 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.
