Rust Kernel Driver

A little kernel driver example written in rust.

Building

You will need:

• rustup to download the latest nightly rust toolchain
• linux-headers for the kernel headers
• llvm (which should come with rust i think) and clang

just build with

make

and you will get a hellokernel.ko directly on the root of the project.

the insert the module (must have root privileges):

insmod hellokernel.ko

and see the messages with:

dmesg

or, to get the messages in real time:

dmesg -W

Credits

Mostly inspired from the linux-kernel-module-rust repo, which gives a lot of informations, but is no longer working.
