Yes.....it's really a little world :) I've got the kernelspace part on github ( https://github.com/PicMelter/uniioShd.git ). It consists of sys (the kernel module), testExe (loads/unloads on the fly the module in the kernel) and secondExe that just interact with the first executable and the kernel module if it is loaded. With the buildAll.bat if the WDK7.1 is present, all the applications are builded automatically. There is a Cyg.c that represent my effort to connect to the module, sending an ioctl and doing an mmap. I think that, even if it's a semplification of the program I'm porting, this little project is very close to what I'm trying to do with the main project. As I read somewhere else, cygwin doesn't support custom ioctl on custom modules, have I understood well? This may explain why I'm never able to send any ioctl to my module. For the mmap part, well, I've tried to follow with gdb what Cygwin is doing but II must admit that at some point I just lose track of what it's doing. If it's too messy, I can polish the code a little bit; consider that it's the environment where I'm always doing tests so rarely I have the time to clean the code... -Alessio 2015-05-20 3:19 GMT+02:00 Mark Geisert <mark AT maxrnd DOT com>: > Alessio Faina writes: >> Well.....I wrote and answered myself the question you pointed out that >> is residing on stackoverflow.... > > Oh, small world :) > >> It was my first option I thought of to pass the pointer to the virtual >> address to the userland application but >> I've been asked to mantain the architecture using open(), ioctl(), >> mmap() etc.... so I don't know, it's a kind of >> jolly to be played in case I won't be able to use the posix >> architecture....but reading on forums/mailing lists... >> I think I will be forced to use the kind of implementation I've >> described in the SO question. >> It seems that no-one ever have got the need to do something like I'm >> trying to do. >> >> 2015-05-19 9:52 GMT+02:00 Mark Geisert <XXXX <at> XXXXXX.XXX>: >> > Does >> > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29938573/accessing-kernel-memory-from-user-mode-windows >> > help to answer your question?
