Hello
I have a kernel process compiled to an kernel_process.ko (kernel object)
The size of the kernel object file is 15K. when i load the this kernel object file
into the memory it's strats runing on my cpu.
How can i know how much frequency my kernel process is taking from the CPU core ?
You don't want to use system programs: Task manager in Windows, System monitor in Linux (or Top in a terminal)?
I am using linux OS. How can i use the terminal for that matter ?
Can you tell me what command should i write ?
man ps
1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.
How is 'ps' going to show you kernel threads?
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
try "ps auxwf" this should show some of the common kenrel houskeeping threads.

The ps fax command shows kernel threads; look for [kthread] and its tree in the output of ps fax.Originally Posted by brewbuck
I worry that someone using a (presumbly self-written but at least self-compiled) kernel process cannot work out how to use ps to monitor CPU usage. Is it just me?
- Compiler warnings are like "Bridge Out Ahead" warnings. DON'T just ignore them.
- A compiler error is something SO stupid that the compiler genuinely can't carry on with its job. A compiler warning is the compiler saying "Well, that's bloody stupid but if you WANT to ignore me..." and carrying on.
- The best debugging tool in the world is a bunch of printf()'s for everything important around the bits you think might be wrong.
