Hi all,
I am working on MPC8313erdb board, PowerPC, having linux-2.6.23.
I wrote simple hello_world module. At the time of compilation kernel generate error: "include/asm/current.h:35: error: invalid register name for ‘current’"

I can't understand the manning of this.

Code of hello_world module is given below

--------------- hello_world.c -------------------------------------------

#include
#include

int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world 1.\n");

return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

--------------------------- Makefile -----------------------------------

obj-m += hello.o

all:
make -C /usr/local/mpc8313/linux-2.6.23 M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
make -C /usr/local/mpc8313/linux-2.6.23 M=$(PWD) clean
