Android环境下使用call_usermodehelper()以及调试

有时候设备驱动需要做一些与其他的设备通信的操作，但是驱动本身又不可以去实作，那这个时候就可以通过调用用户态的软件，通过这个软件和其他的设备进行通信。

那在内核态如何去调用用户态的程序呢？call_usermodehelper() 可以做到。这个linux kernel提供的一个接口，并且这个程序具体root 权限。

这个函数的调用的方法是非常简单的。如下：

    char cmd_path[] = "/vendor/bin/XX";
    char* cmd_argv_low[] = {cmd_path,"wlan0","write","xxxx",NULL};
    char* cmd_envp[] = {"PATH=/sbin:/system/bin", NULL};
    int touch_int = ;
    touch_int = call_usermodehelper(cmd_path, cmd_argv_low, cmd_envp, UMH_WAIT_EXEC);
        printk(KERN_DEBUG "call_usermodehelper is %d \n", touch_int);             

如果顺利执行，上面的代码相当于在shell中执行了 /vendor/bin/XX wlan0 write xxxx  这么一条指令。下面简单解释一下 各个参数的意思：

1. cmd_path  就是这个用户态的程序存放的位置。
2. cmd_argv_low 是传给用户态程序的参数列表，相当于argv[0],argv[1],最后要以NULL 结尾
3. cmd_envp 是传给程序的环境变量，同样也要以NULL 结尾
4. 最后如果执行成功，那么返回0

但是当我执行这段程序的时候，并没有返回0，而是返回了-13，搜索了一下linux 内核关于错误码的定义，发现是Permission denied ，程序是root权限为什么还是会是权限不通过呢？原来是Android 有selinux 机制挡掉了这次调用。

暂时关闭selinux机制就可以使用了，当然要彻底解决的话，就要通过添加te 规则来通过Android的安全检查。

这里顺便也列一下kernel 的常见的错误码：
