Re: Dynamically loading binaries in Kernel mode.

Actually, the group will answer the question without going into the details
of you project. What we are looking for are the goals of you need to load
binaries. There are a number of solutions including do not do that, but
without understanding the reasoning behind the need a lot of us find we are
helping people shoot the system in the foot.

For instance in you situation, there are multiple methods you can use,
kernel mode DLL's, a seperate driver with an interface handled in many ways,
etc. The problem is that many people come to us with "I want to do X, how
can I accomplish it", when if they stepped back one level the answer is "Use
standard mechanism A".

A common example of this are people asking many different ways to have the
driver communicate with the application. Once we understand that the
question "how do I map a user space code section into the kernel?" is really
"how do I call up to an application with an action to do?" the answer
becomes obvious.

Hi again,

I understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately there are legal
reasons pertaining to ongoing patent work that would prevent me from
disclosing the reasons why we (I) need to dynamically load code at the
kernel
level. It's unfortunately one of those situations where telling anyone
about
our master plan basically screws us :-)

So it sounds to me like I need to take this offline with a consultant, get
an NDA signed and proceed with some technical questions since for the most
part, the participants on this forum feel ill at ease with answering my
questions without prior full disclosure (which won't happen anytime soon).

cheers,
Luis Miguel Huapaya
