Message-ID: <4b6fba110809271957t78d7c0c6m97b2b6c1386f7700@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 22:57:10 -0400 From: "Daniel Rosenthal" <danielrosenthal@....org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: jdike@...ux.com Subject: linux object file containing all kernel symbols and suitable for userspace linking? Is there an object file generated by the kernel build process just before vmlinuz and arch/x86/boot/bzImage are created that contains all the requisite kernel symbols to complete compilation? I understand that such an object file wouldn't make a lot of sense to keep around, because at the point at which such a file were able to be generated the compilation process could just be completed instead. If it's not available is there some easy way to generate it? I am trying to test some kernel code I wrote, and I wanted to test it by running it in userspace by linking it to a *.o file with a main() function (just to test out various API facilities; i.e. unit tests). This is so I can use the API provided by the kernel without having to rewrite it for userspace. User-Mode Linux won't work for this because the code in question relies on some architecture specific features and thread flags of x86, but I guess the approach would probably similar to what UML uses. Is there some simple way to do this?
