| |
Hello,
I need to catch a signal within a 2.2 kernel module. Can this be done?
Specifically, I'm writing a driver that allows the user to read or write the Intel MSRs. I have this part of my module working. However, when a user tries to read or write an unsupported MSR, the Intel Pentium II returns with a GP(0). This causes my module to die with a SEGV.
How can I catch this signal within my module? I have the Linux Device Drivers book, but it doesn't appear to cover this type of problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
