linux - 如何向task_struct添加成员绕过 "compiletime_assert"

Question

我需要在 Linux 内核 4.8.0 中向 task_struct 添加成员。但是，当我这样做并尝试构建内核时，错误消息显示:

In file included from linux-hwe-4.8.0/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
             from linux-hwe-4.8.0/include/linux/stddef.h:4,

  _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)

如何摆脱此类错误并成功构建我的内核？

Answer 1

您遇到的断言是由一个宏 (CHECK_MEMBER_AT_END_OF) 触发的，该宏检查 struct task_struct 的 thread 成员是否是它的最后一个字段。

根据内核源代码，linux/sched.h:

/* CPU-specific state of this task */
    struct thread_struct thread;
/*
 * WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized
 * structure.  It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'.
 *
 * Do not put anything below here!

只需在它之前添加您的新字段。
