= Linux Kernel Module Cheat
Run one command, get a QEMU Buildroot BusyBox virtual machine built from
source with several minimal Linux kernel 4.15 module development example
tutorials with GDB and KGDB step debugging and minimal educational
hardware models. Limited GEM5 full system support. "Tested" in x86, ARM
and MIPS guests, Ubuntu 17.10 host.

Reserve 12Gb of disk and run:
....
git clone https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat
cd linux-kernel-module-cheat
./configure && ./build && ./run
....
The first build will take a while
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10833672/buildroot-environment-with-host-toolchain[GCC],
Linux kernel), e.g.:
* 2 hours on a mid end 2012 laptop
* 30 minutes on a high end 2017 desktop
If you don't want to wait, you could also try to compile the examples
and run them on your host computer as explained on the
link:run-on-host.md["Run on host" section], but as explained on that
section, that is dangerous, limited, and will likely not work.
After QEMU opens up, you can start playing with the kernel modules:
....
root
insmod /hello.ko
insmod /hello2.ko
rmmod hello
rmmod hello2
....
This should print to the screen:
....
hello init
hello2 init
hello cleanup
hello2 cleanup
....
which are `printk` messages from `init` and `cleanup` methods of those
modules.
All available modules can be found in the
link:kernel_module/[`kernel_module` directory].
See the link:getting-started.md[getting started section] for further
details.
