    To write a simple kernel module in CentOS 7, one must first install development tools with yum, create a directory for the project, and write a C file with init and exit functions. A Makefile is then needed to compile the C file into a KO module that can be installed and tested with dmesg to confirm loading.

    How to write a simple kernel module in linux (centOS 7)?

    STEPS:-

    1) To create development environment in centOS 7

    # yum group install "Development Tools"

    2) Create a directory.

    mkdir usr/local/src/kernel_example
    cd usr/local/src/kernel_example

    3)vi and create the file kernel_example.c with the following contents:

    $vi kernel_example.c
    We call module_init and module_exit to tell the kernel which

    functions are loading and unloading functions.We can’t compile this

    file yet, though.

    We need a Makefile.

    $vi Makefile
    The resulting file is “anjali_example.ko”.
    we can insert the module to test it

    $sudo insmod anjali_example.ko

    $ dmesg
