insmod fails with “Unknown symbol in module”

I am working on Linuxmint Cinnamon 19 Ubuntu 18.04, kernel version 4.15.0-20-generic

The following I see during compilation:

make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/lukas/Desktop/COP4610-Operating-Systems-Project-2-master/elevator modules

Then I try to install the module with sudo insmod elevator.ko

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module elevator.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Functions are static and there is only one makefile in same directory. So my question is: Why can’t the elevator.ko be loaded and how to fix?

Answer

That’s an easy one. Near the top are these:

WARNING: "STUB_stop_elevator" [/home/lukas/Desktop/COP4610-Operating-Systems-Project-2-master/elevator/elevator.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "STUB_issue_request" [/home/lukas/Desktop/COP4610-Operating-Systems-Project-2-master/elevator/elevator.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "STUB_start_elevator" [/home/lukas/Desktop/COP4610-Operating-Systems-Project-2-master/elevator/elevator.ko] undefined!

Your module will not load due to the undefined symbols. Once those are resolved when building, module loading should work better. It looks like your link is using only 1 object file. Though I don’t have access to confirm, try adjusting your Makefile to list all object files; it could be that obj-m is incomplete and should list the same files as those with obj-y.

If you run into other undefined symbols while loading the module and they’re external to your module, there’s probably a dependency issue. For that case, copy your module to /lib/modules/...... and try loading with modprobe
