Hi,
For a small side-project I decided to make some changes directly to the kernel code, so that it offers some extra functionality I need. I have not done this before in such capacity and only put together some modules here and there in the past. Since now I'm not creating a module, instead I'm hacking the kernel directly, I have some questions: Most of my code is implemented in a new file I created under /kernel/myfile.c and added in the main Makefile (other parts of the code are spread around the existing code as edits). Question A: Is that a good idea? Alternatives? When developing modules, you have the module_init where you declare a function to run when the module inits and set up everything. In my code, I have a similar init function, that basically sets up some procfs endpoints so that users can configure parts of my system with boolean options (enable/disable functionality). Question B: Where is the best place to I call this init function from? Question C: Is using procfs the best option for setting up config options for my system? Best, George
