I am working on a project where I need to change the behaviour of the XOpenDisplay function defined in X11/Xlib.h.
I have found an example, which should do exactly what I am looking for, but when I compile it, I get the following error messages:
XOpenDisplay_interpose.c:14: Error: conflicting types for »XOpenDisplay«
/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h:1507: Error: previous declaration of »XOpenDisplay« was here
Can anyone help me with that problem? What am I missing?
My program code so far - based on the example mentioned above:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
Display *XOpenDisplay(char *display_name)
{
static Display *(*func)(char *);
Display *ret;
void* handle=NULL;
handle = dlopen ("XOpenDisplay_interpose.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if(!handle){
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR dlopen\n");
}
if(!func)
func = (Display *(*)(char *))dlsym(handle,"XOpenDisplay");
if(display_name)
printf("XOpenDisplay() is called with display_name=%s\n", display_name);
else
printf("XOpenDisplay() is called with display_name=NULL\n");
ret = func(display_name);
printf(" calling XOpenDisplay(NULL)\n");
ret = func(0);
printf("XOpenDisplay() returned %p\n", ret);
return(ret);
}
int XCloseDisplay(Display *display_name)
{
static int (*func)(Display *);
int ret;
void* handle=NULL;
handle = dlopen ("XOpenDisplay_interpose.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if(!handle){
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR dlopen\n");
}
if(!func)
func = (int (*)(Display *))dlsym(handle,"XCloseDisplay");
ret = (int)func(display_name);
printf("called XCloseDisplay(%p)\n", display_name);
return(ret);
}
int main()
{
}
Regards,
Andy.
The declaration reads like this:
Display *XOpenDisplay(_Xconst char *display_name)
So just adding a 'const' should suffice.

In a kernel module, how to list all the kernel symbols with their addresses?
The kernel should not be re-compiled.
I know "cat /proc/kallsyms" in an interface, but how to get them directly from kernel data structures, using functions like kallsyms_lookup_name.
Example
Working module code:
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kallsyms.h>
static int prsyms_print_symbol(void *data, const char *namebuf,
struct module *module, unsigned long address)
{
pr_info("### %lx\t%s\n", address, namebuf);
return 0;
}
static int __init prsyms_init(void)
{
kallsyms_on_each_symbol(prsyms_print_symbol, NULL);
return 0;
}
static void __exit prsyms_exit(void)
{
}
module_init(prsyms_init);
module_exit(prsyms_exit);
MODULE_AUTHOR("Sam Protsenko");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Module for printing all kernel symbols");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
Explanation
kernel/kallsyms.c implements /proc/kallsyms. Some of its functions are available for external usage. They are exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() macro. Yes, your module should have GPL license to use it. Those functions are:
kallsyms_lookup_name()
kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
sprint_symbol()
sprint_symbol_no_offset()
To use those functions, include <linux/kallsyms.h> in your module. It should be mentioned that CONFIG_KALLSYMS must be enabled (=y) in your kernel configuration.
To print all the symbols you obviously have to use kallsyms_on_each_symbol() function. The documentation says next about it:
/* Call a function on each kallsyms symbol in the core kernel */
int kallsyms_on_each_symbol(int (*fn)(void *, const char *, struct module *,
unsigned long), void *data);
where fn is your callback function that should be called for each symbol found, and data is a pointer to some private data of yours (will be passed as first parameter to your callback function).
Callback function must have next signature:
int fn(void *data, const char *namebuf, struct module *module,
unsigned long address);
This function will be called for each kernel symbol with next parameters:
data: will contain pointer to your private data you passed as last argument to kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
namebuf: will contain name of current kernel symbol
module: will always be NULL, just ignore that
address: will contain address of current kernel symbol
Return value should always be 0 (on non-zero return value the iteration through symbols will be interrupted).
Supplemental
Answering the questions in your comment.
Also, is there a way to output the size of each function?
Yes, you can use sprint_symbol() function I mentioned above to do that. It will print symbol information in next format:
symbol_name+offset/size [module_name]
Example:
psmouse_poll+0x0/0x30 [psmouse]
Module name part can be omitted if symbol is built-in.
I tried the module and see the result with "dmesg". But a lot of symbols are missing such as "futex_requeue". The output symbol number is about 10K, while it is 100K when I use "nm vmlinux".
This is most likely because your printk buffer size is insufficient to store all the output of module above.
Let's improve above module a bit, so it provides symbols information via miscdevice. Also let's add function size to the output, as requested. The code as follows:
#include <linux/device.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/kallsyms.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/miscdevice.h>
#include <linux/sizes.h>
#include <linux/uaccess.h>
#include <linux/vmalloc.h>
#define DEVICE_NAME "prsyms2"
/* 16 MiB is sufficient to store information about approx. 200K symbols */
#define SYMBOLS_BUF_SIZE SZ_16M
struct symbols {
char *buf;
size_t pos;
};
static struct symbols symbols;
/* ---- misc char device definitions ---- */
static ssize_t prsyms2_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count,
loff_t *pos)
{
return simple_read_from_buffer(buf, count, pos, symbols.buf,
symbols.pos);
}
static const struct file_operations prsyms2_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.read = prsyms2_read,
};
static struct miscdevice prsyms2_misc = {
.minor = MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR,
.name = DEVICE_NAME,
.fops = &prsyms2_fops,
};
/* ---- module init/exit definitions ---- */
static int prsyms2_store_symbol(void *data, const char *namebuf,
struct module *module, unsigned long address)
{
struct symbols *s = data;
int count;
/* Append address of current symbol */
count = sprintf(s->buf + s->pos, "%lx\t", address);
s->pos += count;
/* Append name, offset, size and module name of current symbol */
count = sprint_symbol(s->buf + s->pos, address);
s->pos += count;
s->buf[s->pos++] = '\n';
if (s->pos >= SYMBOLS_BUF_SIZE)
return -ENOMEM;
return 0;
}
static int __init prsyms2_init(void)
{
int ret;
ret = misc_register(&prsyms2_misc);
if (ret)
return ret;
symbols.pos = 0;
symbols.buf = vmalloc(SYMBOLS_BUF_SIZE);
if (symbols.buf == NULL) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto err1;
}
dev_info(prsyms2_misc.this_device, "Populating symbols buffer...\n");
ret = kallsyms_on_each_symbol(prsyms2_store_symbol, &symbols);
if (ret != 0) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto err2;
}
symbols.buf[symbols.pos] = '\0';
dev_info(prsyms2_misc.this_device, "Symbols buffer is ready!\n");
return 0;
err2:
vfree(symbols.buf);
err1:
misc_deregister(&prsyms2_misc);
return ret;
}
static void __exit prsyms2_exit(void)
{
vfree(symbols.buf);
misc_deregister(&prsyms2_misc);
}
module_init(prsyms2_init);
module_exit(prsyms2_exit);

And here is how to use it:
$ sudo insmod prsyms2.ko
$ sudo cat /dev/prsyms2 >symbols.txt
$ wc -l symbols.txt
$ sudo rmmod prsyms2
File symbols.txt will contain all kernel symbols (both built-in and from loaded modules) in next format:
ffffffffc01dc0d0 psmouse_poll+0x0/0x30 [psmouse]
It seems that I can use kallsyms_lookup_name() to find the address of the function, can then use a function pointer to call the function?
Yes, you can. If I recall correctly, it's called reflection. Below is an example how to do so:
typedef int (*custom_print)(const char *fmt, ...);
custom_print my_print;
my_print = (custom_print)kallsyms_lookup_name("printk");
if (my_print == 0) {
pr_err("Unable to find printk\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
my_print(KERN_INFO "### printk found!\n");
I have declared a function in the c++ file as stated in the documentation and called it in the .ned file. But it gives the following error.
error:expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token Define_Function(dijkstra, 1);
The following is my c++ file.
#include <omnetpp.h>
#include "stdio.h"
#include "Node.h"
#include "cdelaychannel.h"
Define_Function(dijkstra, 1);
double dijkstra(double start = 1){
....
....
}
In my network description file, I've called the function.
package myproject;
#license(LGPL);
dijkstra(1.0);
Why is it giving me the error?
If you want to create a function for using it in NED files, you have to do it as described in OMNeT++ Manual. An example could be the following:
static cNEDValue ned_foo(cComponent *context, cNEDValue argv[], int argc)
int a = (long) argv[0];
int b = (long) argv[1];
return a*b;
}
Define_NED_Function(ned_foo,"int ned_foo(int a, int b)");
Hello everyone i'm a newbie to system programming,please mind me if my doubt is very vague.
I'm actually following a book named Linux System Programming and I'm having a doubt in execvp() system call.As given by a book example I tried it on my machine and here is the following example ..
#include<unistd.h>
//int ret;
int main(){
const char *args[] = { "vi", "/home/kidd/hooks.txt", NULL };
int ret;
ret = execv ("/bin/vi", args);
if (ret == −1)
perror ("execvp");
}
And i'm receiving a foolwing error:
error: invalid conversion from ‘const char**’ to ‘char* const*’ [-fpermissive]
I've given a const char arrays name which is obviously const char**.
Why is it giving this error?**
The args array should not have type const char*, it should just be char* (in the same way that the argv argument to main is just a char*). So your code should look like this:
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
char *args[] = { "vi", "/home/kidd/hooks.txt", NULL };
int ret;
ret = execv ("/bin/vi", args);
if (ret == -1)
perror ("execvp");
}
I am trying to set constant values on my GPU's constant memory before launching a kernel which needs these values.
My code (simplified):
__constant__ size_t con_N;
int main()
{
size_t N;
size_t* dev_N = NULL;
cudaError_t cudaStatus;
//[...]
cudaStatus = cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dev_N, &con_N);
if (cudaStatus != cudaSuccess) {
cout<<"cudaGetSymbolAddress (dev_N) failed: "<<cudaGetErrorString(cudaStatus)<<endl;
}
I planned to cudaMemcpy my N to dev_N afterwards.
However, all I get at this point in the code is:
cudaGetSymbolAddress (dev_N) failed: invalid device symbol
I'm working with CUDA 6.5 so it's not a quoted symbol issue, as it is in most of the Q&A I've been checking so far.
I tried to replace con_N with con_N[1] (and remove the & before con_N in cudaGetSymbolAddress parameters): same result.
As the prototype of this function is cudaGetSymbolAddress(void **devPtr , const void* symbol ), I guessed it wanted to be given my symbol's address. However, I tried with cudaStatus = cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dev_N, (const void*) con_N); and I got the same message.
I'm also getting the very same error message when I remove cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dev_N, &con_N) and go directly with cudaMemcpyToSymbol(&con_N, &N, sizeof(size_t)) instead.
I'm afraid I missed something essential. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The correct usage of cudaGetSymbolAddress is
cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dev_N, con_N)
I'm showing this with the simple example below.
As the documentation explains, the symbol should physically reside on the device. Accordingly, using &con_N in the API call appears to be meaningless, since, being cudaGetSymbolAddress a host API, accessing the address of something residing on the device directly from host should not be possible. I'm not sure if the prototype appearing in the CUDA Runtime API document should better read as `
template<class T>
cudaError_t cudaGetSymbolAddress (void **devPtr, const T symbol)
with device symbol reference instead of device symbol address.
#include <stdio.h>
__constant__ int const_symbol;
/********************/
/* CUDA ERROR CHECK */
/********************/
#define gpuErrchk(ans) { gpuAssert((ans), __FILE__, __LINE__); }
inline void gpuAssert(cudaError_t code, const char *file, int line, bool abort=true)
{
if (code != cudaSuccess)
{
fprintf(stderr,"GPUassert: %s %s %d\n", cudaGetErrorString(code), file, line);
if (abort) exit(code);
}
}
/***************/
/* TEST KERNEL */
/***************/
__global__ void kernel() {
printf("Address of symbol from device = %p\n", &const_symbol);
}
/********/
/* MAIN */
/********/
int main()
{
const int N = 16;
int *pointer = NULL;
gpuErrchk(cudaGetSymbolAddress((void**)&pointer, const_symbol));
kernel<<<1,1>>>();
printf("Address of symbol from host = %p\n", pointer);
return 0;
}
In my opinion, A line of your code should be fixed like below.
cudaStatus = cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&dev_N, con_N);
Hope this helps you.
I'm trying to read the memory of a process using task_for_pid / vm_read.
uint32_t sz;
pointer_t buf;
task_t task;
pid_t pid = 9484;
kern_return_t error = task_for_pid(current_task(), pid, &task);
vm_read(task, 0x10e448000, 2048, &buf, &sz);
In this case I read the first 2048 bytes.
This works when I know the base address of the process (which I can find out using gdb "info shared" - in this case 0x10e448000), but how do I find out the base address at runtime (without looking at it with gdb)?
Answering my own question. I was able to get the base address using mach_vm_region_recurse like below. The offset lands in vmoffset. If there is another way that is more "right" - don't hesitate to comment!
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mach/mach_init.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
#include <mach/mach_vm.h>
...
mach_port_name_t task;
vm_map_offset_t vmoffset;
vm_map_size_t vmsize;
uint32_t nesting_depth = 0;
struct vm_region_submap_info_64 vbr;
mach_msg_type_number_t vbrcount = 16;
kern_return_t kr;
if ((kr = mach_vm_region_recurse(task, &vmoffset, &vmsize,
&nesting_depth,
(vm_region_recurse_info_t)&vbr,
&vbrcount)) != KERN_SUCCESS)
{
printf("FAIL");
}
Since you're calling current_task(), I assume you're aiming at your own process at runtime. So the base address you mentioned should be the dynamic base address, i.e. static base address + image slide caused by ASLR, right? Based on this assumption, you can use "Section and Segment Accessors" to get the static base address of your process, and then use the dyld functions to get the image slide. Here's a snippet:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include </usr/include/mach-o/getsect.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include </usr/include/mach-o/dyld.h>
#include <string.h>
uint64_t StaticBaseAddress(void)
{
const struct segment_command_64* command = getsegbyname("__TEXT");
uint64_t addr = command->vmaddr;
return addr;
}
intptr_t ImageSlide(void)
{
char path[1024];
uint32_t size = sizeof(path);
if (_NSGetExecutablePath(path, &size) != 0) return -1;
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < _dyld_image_count(); i++)
{
if (strcmp(_dyld_get_image_name(i), path) == 0)
return _dyld_get_image_vmaddr_slide(i);
}
return 0;
}
uint64_t DynamicBaseAddress(void)
{
return StaticBaseAddress() + ImageSlide();
}
int main (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
printf("dynamic base address (%0llx) = static base address (%0llx) + image slide (%0lx)\n", DynamicBaseAddress(), StaticBaseAddress(), ImageSlide());
while (1) {}; // you can attach to this process via gdb/lldb to view the base address now :)
return 0;
}
Hope it helps!
