Module vs Kernel main performacne

[Peter Senna Tschudin]

Hello Abu,

I had to include <linux/module.h> or an error was issued about "THIS_MODULE".

What Kernel version are you using? I'm trying to compile it and I'm
getting the error:

[peter at ace m]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64'
  CC [M]  /tmp/m/m.o
/tmp/m/m.c:36:2: error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer
/tmp/m/m.c:36:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer
type [enabled by default]
/tmp/m/m.c:36:2: warning: (near initialization for ‘m_fops.llseek’)
[enabled by default]
make[2]: *** [/tmp/m/m.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/m] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64'
make: *** [module] Error 2

According to:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.4.1/include/linux/fs.h#L1609

There is no .ioctl at struct file_operations...

Can you share how you've used perf/oprofile on your module/Kernel code?
