如何使用内核API函数 proc_create？
[TOC]
1. 问题来源
看到一个null pointer dereference的demo使用了这个函数。
2. 概述
Proc文件系统
Proc File System是一个虚拟的文件系统，可以理解为内核对用户开放的接口，让内核和用户进程进行数据交换 (读取内核进程的数据，修改内核参数等)：
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Creating a new Proc file
To create a proc file system we need to implement a simple interface – file_operation.We can implement more than 20 functions but the common operations are read, write.
To register the interface use the function proc_create.
要创建一个Proc file需要实现file_operation结构体，主要实现read和write就可以了。然后通过proc_create来注册。将模块注册到内核后，就能在/proc/目录找到我们的文件。
对该文件进行读写就能实现用户进程与内核的通信。

proc_create是在kernel 3.10以及之后的版本中新增的，用于替换之前的create_proc_entry
kernel 3.9
include/linux/proc_fs.h
extern struct proc_dir_entry *create_proc_entry(const char *name, umode_t mode,
struct proc_dir_entry *parent);

struct proc_dir_entry *create_proc_entry(const char *name, umode_t mode,
struct proc_dir_entry *parent)
{
struct proc_dir_entry *ent;
nlink_t nlink;
if (S_ISDIR(mode)) {
if ((mode & S_IALLUGO) == 0)
mode |= S_IRUGO | S_IXUGO;
nlink = 2;
} else {
if ((mode & S_IFMT) == 0)
mode |= S_IFREG;
if ((mode & S_IALLUGO) == 0)
mode |= S_IRUGO;
nlink = 1;
}
ent = __proc_create(&parent, name, mode, nlink);
if (ent) {
if (proc_register(parent, ent) < 0) {
kfree(ent);
ent = NULL;
}
}
return ent;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(create_proc_entry);kernel 3.10

EXPORT_SYMBOL(proc_create_data);两者的区别主要就是proc_create把file_operation作为参数传递，而proc_create_data是创建了proc_dir_entry之后再设置file_operation。
