How do I initialize ua in this struct?
static int clk_init_vdd_class(struct device *dev, struct clk *clk, int num,
unsigned long *fmax, int *uv, int *ua)
Here is is rest of code, krait-8974.c
Found answer,
Line # 683
Edited by adding
int *uv = 0, *ua = 0;
Here is full code
static int
clock_krait_8974_driver_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
struct clk *c;
int speed, pvs, pvs_ver, config_ver, rows, cpu;
unsigned long *freq, cur_rate, aux_rate;
int *uv = 0, *ua = 0;
u32 *dscr = NULL, vco_mask, config_val;
int ret;
vdd_l2.regulator[0] = devm_regulator_get(dev, "l2-dig");
if (IS_ERR(vdd_l2.regulator[0])) {
dev_err(dev, "Unable to get l2-dig regulator!\n");
return PTR_ERR(vdd_l2.regulator[0]);
}

I am writing a sample kernel module which reads data sent through ioctl call from application and prints them.
I am passing structure "ioctl_struct" through ioctl from the application and in the kernel module, I will be printing its member variables.
this works absolutely fine in a few machines. In a few machines
"BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at"
the error is thrown while accessing "name and testStruct's id1 and id2".
I don't think this module is hardware/kernel dependent.
I am not sure where it's going wrong. any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

I am making one simple char driver and I learnt that there are 2 ways I can get Major number for my driver to pair with - alloc_chrdev_region(and register_chrdev_region) and register_chrdev. I initially started with register_chrdev and it gave me my major number and also created entry in /dev (class and device create used).
But when I change for register_chrdev to alloc_chrdev_region to acquire major number (using chrdev_init and chrdev_add), leaving rest of the entry function same, I don't see an entry in /dev, though when I make it manually with mknode, and run the test application to use the driver, it works fine.
Below is the code of entry point that does not produce the /dev entry

Now if I replace the while alloc_chrdev_region, cdev_init and cdev_add with just register_chrdev(), The entry in /dev pops up. I am unable to figure out what more does register_chrdev() do that the former combination does not.
Thank you
Edit : Found the issue.
it was due to using MKDEV(majorNumber, 0); Without actually storing major number in the majorNumber variable using MAJOR();
Not deleting the question as someone can find it useful
I implement mmap function, and mount it to file operation.
And create a file in /proc.
but when I insmod, it responses "mmap_example2: Unknown symbol _page_cachable_default
insmod: can't insert 'mmap_example2.ko': unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter"
when i remove mmap function from file operations, it can be inserted.
so do i neglect something? how to make mmap work in procfs?

I am not able to allocate memory for nested structures using pointers.
What syntax should I use to allocate the memory for lots of structures that have pointers to other structures? How should I go about accessing the values in the structures once the memory is allocated?
struct A {
int *a;
struct B *b;
};
struct B {
int *b;
struct C *c;
};
struct C {
int *c;
struct D *d;
};
struct D {
int *d;
};
int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
struct A* foo;
/* Structure allocation */
/* use of structures */
}
I can't go beyond 2 nested structures. Beyond that I start getting Segmentation fault.

My target is to write a c++/cli wrap arount ffmpeg library, using by importing ffmpeg functions from dll-modules.
Later I will use this interface in c#.
This is my challenge, don't ask me why))
So i've implemented Wrap class, which is listed below:
namespace FFMpegWrapLib
{
public class Wrap
{
private:
public:
//wstring libavcodecDllName = "avcodec-56.dll";
//wstring libavformatDllName = "avformat-56.dll";
//wstring libswscaleDllName = "swscale-3.dll";
//wstring libavutilDllName = "avutil-54.dll";
HMODULE libavcodecDLL;
HMODULE libavformatDLL;
HMODULE libswsscaleDLL;
HMODULE libavutilDLL;
AVFormatContext **pFormatCtx = nullptr;
AVCodecContext *pCodecCtxOrig = nullptr;
AVCodecContext *pCodecCtx = nullptr;
AVCodec **pCodec = nullptr;
AVFrame **pFrame = nullptr;
AVFrame **pFrameRGB = nullptr;
AVPacket *packet = nullptr;
int *frameFinished;
int numBytes;
uint8_t *buffer = nullptr;
struct SwsContext *sws_ctx = nullptr;
void Init();
void AVRegisterAll();
void Release();
bool SaveFrame(const char *pFileName, AVFrame * frame, int w, int h);
bool GetStreamInfo();
int FindVideoStream();
bool OpenInput(const char* file);
AVCodec* FindDecoder();
AVCodecContext* AllocContext3();
bool CopyContext();
bool OpenCodec2();
AVFrame* AllocFrame();
int PictureGetSize();
void* Alloc(size_t size);
int PictureFill(AVPicture *, const uint8_t *, enum AVPixelFormat, int, int);
SwsContext* GetSwsContext(int, int, enum AVPixelFormat, int, int, enum AVPixelFormat, int, SwsFilter *, SwsFilter *, const double *);
int ReadFrame(AVFormatContext *s, AVPacket *pkt);
int DecodeVideo2(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVFrame *picture, int *got_picture_ptr, const AVPacket *avpkt);
int SwsScale(struct SwsContext *c, const uint8_t *const srcSlice[], const int srcStride[], int srcSliceY, int srcSliceH, uint8_t *const dst[], const int dstStride[]);
void PacketFree(AVPacket *pkt);
void BufferFree(void *ptr);
void FrameFree(AVFrame **frame);
int CodecClose(AVCodecContext *);
void CloseInput(AVFormatContext **);
bool SeekFrame(AVFormatContext *s, int stream_index, int64_t timestamp, int flags);
Wrap();
~Wrap();
bool GetVideoFrame(char* str_in_file, char* str_out_img, uint64_t time);
};
public ref class managedWrap
{
public:
managedWrap(){}
~managedWrap(){ delete unmanagedWrap; }
bool GetVideoFrameToFile(char* str_in_file, char* str_out_img, uint64_t time)
{
return unmanagedWrap->GetVideoFrame(str_in_file, str_out_img, time);
}
static Wrap* unmanagedWrap = new Wrap();
};
}
So the imports to libavcodec and etc. are succesful.
The problem is in AccessViolationException during calling dll func, for example, in OpenInput (i.e. av_open_input in native ffmpeg library)
The OpenInput func code is below:
bool FFMpegWrapLib::Wrap::OpenInput(const char* file)
{
typedef int avformat_open_input(AVFormatContext **, const char *, AVInputFormat *, AVDictionary **);
avformat_open_input* pavformat_open_input = (avformat_open_input *)GetProcAddress(libavformatDLL, "avformat_open_input");
if (pavformat_open_input == nullptr)
{
throw exception("Unable to find avformat_open_input function address in libavformat module");
return false;
}
//pin_ptr<AVFormatContext *> pinFormatContext = &(new interior_ptr<AVFormatContext *>(pCodecCtx));
pFormatCtx = new AVFormatContext*;
//*pFormatCtx = new AVFormatContext;
int ret = pavformat_open_input(pFormatCtx, file, NULL, NULL); // here it fails
return ret == 0;
}
So the problem, i think, is that class-fields of Wrap class are in secure memory. And ffmpeg works with native memory, initialising pFormatCtx variable by it's address.
Can I avoid this, or it is impossible?
Got the same problem, you need to initialise AVFormatContext object.
Good Example:
AVFormatContext *pFormatCtx = avformat_alloc_context();
Bad example:
AVFormatContext *pFormatCtx = NULL;
