create_module(2) System Calls Manual create_module(2)
create_module - create a loadable module entry
#include <linux/module.h>
[[deprecated]] caddr_t create_module(const char *name, size_t size);
Note: This system call is present only before Linux 2.6.
create_module() attempts to create a loadable module entry and
reserve the kernel memory that will be needed to hold the module.
This system call requires privilege.
On success, returns the kernel address at which the module will
reside. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate
the error.
EEXIST A module by that name already exists.
EFAULT name is outside the program's accessible address space.
EINVAL The requested size is too small even for the module header
information.
ENOMEM The kernel could not allocate a contiguous block of memory
large enough for the module.
ENOSYS create_module() is not supported in this version of the
kernel (e.g., Linux 2.6 or later).
EPERM The caller was not privileged (did not have the
CAP_SYS_MODULE capability).
Linux.
Removed in Linux 2.6.
This obsolete system call is not supported by glibc. No
declaration is provided in glibc headers, but, through a quirk of
history, glibc versions before glibc 2.23 did export an ABI for
this system call. Therefore, in order to employ this system
call, it was sufficient to manually declare the interface in your
code; alternatively, you could invoke the system call using
syscall(2).
