Method and apparatus for loading kernel module

An apparatus for loading a kernel module, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• acquiring the kernel module, and determining whether the kernel module satisfies a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes compatibility between the kernel module and a kernel to which the kernel module is to be loaded;
• determining the kernel module being compatible with the kernel;
• adding, in response to determining the kernel module being compatible with the kernel, identifier information to a separate section of the kernel module;
• detecting an instruction for loading a to-be-loaded kernel module into a target kernel;
• determining, in response to detecting the instruction, whether the identifier information is included in the to-be-loaded kernel module, the identifier information being used to represent loading the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel, wherein the to-be-loaded kernel module is in an ELF (executable and linking format) format;
• detecting the identifier information located in the separate section of the to-be-loaded kernel module, the identifier information being irrelevant with all other sections of the to-be-loaded kernel module, wherein the detecting comprises detecting a character in the separate section before an ELF header of an ELF file, the character being irrelevant with the ELF file;
• and
• loading, in response to detecting the identifier information in the separate section of the to-be-loaded kernel module, the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel, wherein the loading comprises loading, in response to detecting the character in the separate section before the ELF header of the ELF file, the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• acquiring the kernel module, and determining whether the kernel module satisfies a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes compatibility between the kernel module and a kernel to which the kernel module is to be loaded;
• determining the kernel module being compatible with the kernel;
• adding, in response to determining the kernel module being compatible with the kernel, identifier information to a separate section of the kernel module;
• detecting an instruction for loading a to-be-loaded kernel module into a target kernel;
• determining, in response to detecting the instruction, whether the identifier information is included in the to-be-loaded kernel module, the identifier information being used to represent loading the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel, wherein the to-be-loaded kernel module is in an ELF (executable and linking format) format;
• detecting the identifier information located in the separate section of the to-be-loaded kernel module, the identifier information being irrelevant with all other sections of the to-be-loaded kernel module, wherein the detecting comprises detecting a character in the separate section before an ELF header of an ELF file, the character being irrelevant with the ELF file;
• and
• loading, in response to detecting the identifier information in the separate section of the to-be-loaded kernel module, the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel, wherein the loading comprises loading, in response to detecting the character in the separate section before the ELF header of the ELF file, the to-be-loaded kernel module into the target kernel.
