Re: call procedure in Linux-Ada-module from "normal" program

I've been tinkering with modules by using Ada.
The module compiles, and I manage to do insmod on it.
The symbols appears in ksyms; like "some_call_me".

Now I wish to call "some_call_me" from the test program (3) - is that possible?

There are a number of ways to communicate with Linux, but you can't just call a procedure like that. That's true for all programming languages. A kernel isn't just another library.

I suggest that you look around for information on system calls, trap instructions and IOCTLs. You'll probably only find examples in C, but when you know how to do what you want in C, I'm sure someone here can help you translate it to Ada.
