I need to convert an integer to it's ASCII representation from within the Linux Kernel. How can I do this? I can't find any built-in conversion methods. Are there any already in the kernel or do I need to add my own?

I have a bug in a Linux kernel module that causes the stock Ubuntu 14.04 kernel to oops (crash).
That is why I want to edit/patch the source of only that single kernel module to add some extra debug output. The kernel module in question is mvsas and not necessary to boot. For that reason I don't…

I copy and paste code from this URL for creating and reading/writing a proc file using a kernel module and get the error that proc_root is undeclared. This same example is on a few sites so I assume it works. Any ideas why I'd get this error? Does my makefile need something different. Below is my…

I know all the discussions about why one should not read/write files from kernel, instead how to use /proc or netlink to do that. I want to read/write anyway. I have also read
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8110
However, problem is 2.6.30 does not export sys_read(). Rather its wrapped in SYSCALL_DEFINE3…

make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules
The sizeof(some_structure) is coming as 36 instead of 34 i.e. the compiler is padding the structure.
How do I remove this padding?
Running make…

The lsmod-command shows the odd module. The command "modprobe -a hid_microsoft" does not reveal anything. What is it?

My /boot is at 100%. When I run aptitude search ~ilinux-image I'm getting loads of unused images. When I try to delete one of them (after checking which one is currently in use by doing uname -r), e.g apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic I get:
Reading package lists... Done

Hi People,
Is Linux Kernel scheduler a part of init process? My understanding is that it is part of Kernel threads managed internally not visible to user by either top or ps. Please correct my understanding.
Is it possible to view standard kernel threads through any kernel debugger to see how standard…
