1Features: 2========= 3 4* Add command for signing modules 5 - There is a script to sign modules in kernel tree, but we should be able to 6 sign modules by ourselves 7 8* Stop using NOFAIL() and fatal() 9 10* Protect index against OOM 11 12* Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc 13 14* testsuite: 15 - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module 16 - improve coverage (use --enable-coverage to check the current state) 17 18* Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead 19 20* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a 21 vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling 22 bsearch(). 23 24* config: implement the config handling in shared/ and use it in both depmod 25and libkmod 26 27* review API, maybe unify all of these getters: 28 - kmod_module_version_get_symbol() 29 - kmod_module_version_get_crc() 30 - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol() 31 - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc() 32 - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol() 33 - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc() 34 - kmod_module_versions_free_list() 35 - kmod_module_symbols_free_list() 36 - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list() 37 38* libkmod API breaking changes: 39 - dedicated error value for all kmod_*_get_crc() functions. Currently there 40 is no way for callers to distinguish between a valid CRC=0 and the error 41 code 0. 42 43* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one 44 with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it. 45 Another possibility is to drop the mmap implementation relying on VFS to have 46 the pages cached. This would simplify the interface exported by libkmod. 47 Measure performance before deciding. 48 49* depmod: 50 - join functions for text/binary outputs 51 - use new O_TMPFILE for tmp file creation 52 53Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed): 54=================================================================== 55 56* list of currently loaded modules 57 - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the 58 module is builtin. 59 60* kill /proc/modules ? 61 - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it 62
