But the currently those are only built as built-in kernel, and for allowing them to be built as modules, we need to patch the kernel code. I asked to hack it by yourself and check whether it works. But after writing this, I remembered that I chatted with Ben Hutchings some time ago about this topic. There are a couple of downstream patches for Ubuntu to build those as modules: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/blob/master/debian/patches/debian... https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/blob/master/debian/patches/debian... However, the problem is that the latter one (to add exported symbols to core code) would be VERY unlikely accepted by the upstream. The first attempt failed miserably: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20180730143710.14413-1-christian@braun... That is, the binder stuff can almost never be a module, hence we can't go for it for our standard kernel. OTOH, the ashmem seems to have a better chance, as it has little dependencies on other core parts, but I have no idea whether ashmem alone would make any sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
