AUR issues, compilation issues, insmod issues.

[noche-x]

Hello, I wanted to check this out and firstly I tried to install from AUR but it kept failing with [code block 1]

So I tried to compile it myself and the same errors occured. I swapped FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE with FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION, changed ftrace_thunk's last parameters type from pt_regs regs to ftrace_regs fregs and added struct pt_regs *regs = ftrace_get_regs(fregs); (solution from) and lastly I changed h33p's kallsyms thing from livepatch to kprobes. It compiled successfully but when I tried to insmod it, I got invalid module format

I can successfully compile and insmod h33p's kallsyms-mod.

tell me ur kernel versionnnnnnnnn

[noche-x]

5.11.11-arch1-1

[noche-x]

The "patch" that I did resulted in this message in dmesg: [51429.873131] cartographer_module: module is marked as livepatch module, but livepatch support is disabled

[noche-x]

After disabling the livepatch of the source file: [51500.274637] cartographer_module: Cartographer Loading complete.

So I tried a command but:

Cartographer : master ✘ :✹ ᐅ  sudo echo "settarget libtestsfaa.so" > /proc/cartographer
zsh: permission denied: /proc/cartographer

But when I used sudo su to do the command it succeeded and the example command works!

I could open a pull request but my knowledge about linux driver development is limited, if I knew the cause of this I would've made a pull request.

Anyways my patch is: in cartographer.c change FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE to FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION, add struct pt_regs *regs = ftrace_get_regs(fregs); to the function ftrace_thunk and change the parameter from pt_regs* regs to ftrace_regs* fregs

in kallsyms.c change it to kprobes instead of livepatch aka copy and paste the kallsyms_kp.c from h33p's repo.

[LWSS]

Yeah i'm on 5.10 and it still works, something probably changed but it looks like you figured it out.

But when I used sudo su to do the command it succeeded and the example command works! yeah ur supposed to use | sudo tee or something like that to redirect it.

I'll probably get around to it when I update distro, thanks for the info. Also I didn't even know this was on the AUR lol.

remove module cartographer-dkms-git/r16.78a704a for kernel 5.11.11-arch1-1: oops brainlet moment, was up for like 24 hours lol
