1 | What: The kernel syscall interface | ||
2 | Description: | ||
3 | This interface matches much of the POSIX interface and is based | ||
4 | on it and other Unix based interfaces. It will only be added to | ||
5 | over time, and not have things removed from it. | ||
6 | |||
7 | Note that this interface is different for every architecture | ||
8 | that Linux supports. Please see the architecture-specific | ||
9 | documentation for details on the syscall numbers that are to be | ||
10 | mapped to each syscall. | ||

1 | What: /sys/module | ||
2 | Description: | ||
3 | The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure: | ||
4 | |||
5 | /sys/module/MODULENAME | ||
6 | The name of the module that is in the kernel. This | ||
7 | module name will show up either if the module is built | ||
8 | directly into the kernel, or if it is loaded as a | ||
9 | dyanmic module. | ||
10 | |||
11 | /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters | ||
12 | This directory contains individual files that are each | ||
13 | individual parameters of the module that are able to be | ||
14 | changed at runtime. See the individual module | ||
15 | documentation as to the contents of these parameters and | ||
16 | what they accomplish. | ||
17 | |||
18 | Note: The individual parameter names and values are not | ||
19 | considered stable, only the fact that they will be | ||
20 | placed in this location within sysfs. See the | ||
21 | individual driver documentation for details as to the | ||
22 | stability of the different parameters. | ||
23 | |||
24 | /sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt | ||
25 | If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file | ||
26 | will contain the current reference count of the module. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the | ||
29 | CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled, | ||
30 | this file will not be present. | ||
