5.4 Module Example¶
Simple Module¶

#include <linux/kernel.h>
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
int init_module(void) {
printk(KERN_ALERT "Module Loaded\n");
return 0;
}

Cheat Sheet¶
Get Physical Address From Virtual Address¶
This is just for address that directly mapped or allocated via
kmalloc
#include <linux/mm.h>
phys_addr_t virt_to_phys(volatile void *address);
Read/Write Data from Physical Address¶
#include <linux/io.h>
// Use `ioremap` to get a temporary virtual address that maps to `phys_address`, 4 means the size that we can access (it will align to 0x1000)
void *temp_virt_address = ioremap(phys_address, 4);
// Read/Write to temp_vrit_address
iounmap(temp_virt_addr);
Get CR3¶
// This is the virtual address maps to the physical address that CR3 point to
current->mm->pgd;
Mitigations¶
SMEP¶
Prevents kernel execute code from userspace.
SMAP¶
Prevents kernel access userspace memory unless the AC flag in the RFLAGS register is set. use stac
to set and clac
to unset the AC flag.
