a hello world module for linux device driver

Today I build a  evironment for linux kernel development. Summary the hello module in here.

Evironment:

Ubuntu 10.04

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install kernel-package

Source code :

 hello.c : 

#include "linux/init.h"
#include "linux/module.h"

static int hello_init(void)
{
    printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello World linux_driver_module\n");
    return 0;
}

static void hello_exit(void)
{
    printk(KERN_ALERT "Goodbey linux_driver_module\n");
}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("tangzhankun");

Makefile :

obj-m := hello.o
KDIR = /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

all:
        $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD)

.PHONY:clean
clean:
        rm -f *.mod.c *.mod.o *.ko *.o *.tmp_versions

Test commands :

   make
   insmod ./hello.ko
   rmmod ./hello.ko
   dmesg | tail
