   1 Features:
   2 =========
   3
   4 * Add command for signing modules
   5    - There is a script to sign modules in kernel tree, but we should be able to
   6    sign modules by ourselves
   7
   8 * Stop using NOFAIL() and fatal()
   9
  10 * Protect index against OOM
  11
  12 * Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc
  13
  14 * testsuite:
  15    - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
  16    - improve coverage (use --enable-coverage to check the current state)
  17
  18 * Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead
  19
  20 * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
  21   vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
  22   bsearch().
  23
  24 * config: implement the config handling in shared/ and use it in both depmod
  25 and libkmod
  26
  27 * review API, maybe unify all of these getters:
  28    - kmod_module_version_get_symbol()
  29    - kmod_module_version_get_crc()
  30    - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol()
  31    - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc()
  32    - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol()
  33    - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc()
  34    - kmod_module_versions_free_list()
  35    - kmod_module_symbols_free_list()
  36    - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list()
  37
  38 * libkmod API breaking changes:
  39    - dedicated error value for all kmod_*_get_crc() functions. Currently there
  40      is no way for callers to distinguish between a valid CRC=0 and the error
  41      code 0.
  42
  43 * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
  44   with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
  45   Another possibility is to drop the mmap implementation relying on VFS to have
  46   the pages cached. This would simplify the interface exported by libkmod.
  47   Measure performance before deciding.
  48
  49 * depmod:
  50    - join functions for text/binary outputs
  51    - use new O_TMPFILE for tmp file creation
  52
  53 Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
  54 ===================================================================
  55
  56 * list of currently loaded modules
  57         - readdir() in /sys/modules: dir without a 'initstate' file means the
  58           module is builtin.
  59
  60 * kill /proc/modules ?
  61         - Unlikely, given other tools might depend on it
