Hi,
I''m trying to build a module to implement a shared memory mechanism
between
the dom0 and domU''s.
To do so, I''m investigating the grant table mechanisms. I have wrote
that
code (which is supposed to be the dom0-side of a module creating and
sharing 1 page) :
#undef __KERNEL__
#define __KERNEL__
#undef MODULE
#define MODULE
#include <xen/page.h>
#include <xen/grant_table.h>
#include <linux/gfp.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
unsigned long myPage;
static int __init hello_init(void){
// int domB = atoi(argv[1]);
printk(KERN_INFO "Test sur le partage de mémoire dans Xen
\n");
if((myPage = get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL))==0)
printk(KERN_INFO "Zeroed page\n");
grant_ref_t gref;
gref = gnttab_grant_foreign_access(1, virt_to_mfn(myPage), 0);
if(gref < 0){
printk(KERN_INFO "Grant failed\n");
free_page(myPage);
}
return 0;
}
static void __exit hello_exit(void){
free_page(myPage);
printk(KERN_INFO "Cleaning module.\n");
}
module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);
The code is compiling, but when I try to launch the insert the module, I
get error messages :
[95265.790842] shmxen: Unknown symbol gnttab_grant_foreign_access (err 0)
[95265.790855] shmxen: Unknown symbol xen_features (err 0)
[95265.790865] shmxen: Unknown symbol get_phys_to_machine (err 0)
I''m searching for libraries to link with the module so it can use these
functions but I can''t find those. Can you please help me ? I searched
in
project like Xen VMSocket to look after their way of dealing the problem,
but the Makefile doesn''t point out directories containing the included
headers or libraries having implemented functions (I don''t understand
how
it''s suppose to compile).
I thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Fremal S.

Thank you for your answer, I tried it but it doesn''t solve my problem. Maybe I''m wrong, but i think headers are useful to include function prototypes (i. e. gnttab_grant_foreign_access or virt_to_mfn) but it doesn''t include the code of these functions. So, when the module is launched, the system doesn''t know what to do with the symbols gnttab_grant_foreign_access, xen_features and get_phys_to_machine because implementations of these functions are not linked with the module. That''s why I''m searching for the library including these implementations. I have to link them with the module so it''s stop failing when launched.

Thank you, it works !! I didn''t knew this functionnality.
I attach the working code for example in case of somebody have the same
issue.
#undef __KERNEL__
#define __KERNEL__
#undef MODULE
#define MODULE
#include <xen/page.h>
#include <xen/grant_table.h>
#include <linux/gfp.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
unsigned long myPage;
static int __init hello_init(void){
// int domB = atoi(argv[1]);
printk(KERN_INFO "Test sur le partage de mémoire dans Xen
\n");
if((myPage = get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL))==0)
printk(KERN_INFO "Zeroed page\n");
grant_ref_t gref;
gref = gnttab_grant_foreign_access(1, virt_to_mfn(myPage), 0);
if(gref < 0){
printk(KERN_INFO "Grant failed\n");
free_page(myPage);
}
return 0;
}
static void __exit hello_exit(void){
free_page(myPage);
printk(KERN_INFO "Cleaning module.\n");
}
module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);
