If the kernel or a kernel module has a path that has symbolic link components, is relative, or is both, what function does it use to turn ../bob into /home/bob or /etc/mtab into /proc/self/mount? How can I also get the absolute path of a file as it is on the filesytem it belongs to (i.e., turning /proc/kcore into /kcore)? I am assuming that the parameter cannot be a string but must be a struct like pathname.

Will it turn `../bob` into `/home/bob` and `/etc/mtab` into `/proc/self/mounts`? – Melab Oct 13 '16 at 16:28

`insmod` says it is an unknown symbol. – Melab Nov 04 '16 at 00:14
