$10$ points$]$ Question $1$: This question involves designing a kernel module.

The Linux kernel keeps track of the global variable jiffies, which maintains the

number of timer interrupts that have occurred since the system was booted. The

jiffies variable is declared in the file $.$

Design a kernel module that creates a $/$proc file named $/$proc$/$jiffies that reports

the current value of jiffies when the $/$proc$/$jiffies file is read, such as with the

command

cat $/$proc$/$jiffies

Be sure to remove $/$proc$/$jiffies when the module is removed.

This question should be completed using the Linux virtual machine you installed as part

of Lab$1.$

Deliverables:

$1.$ jiffies.c $-$ You are to provide your solution as a single C program named

jiffies.c that contains the entire solution for question $1.$

It is important for you to name your file jiffies.c as the TA grading this question has a

Makefile using this name to test your code.

$2.$ q$1$output.txt $-$ You are also to provide the output of dmesg command in a text

file called q$1$output.txt$.$ The output should show that the kernel module was

loaded into the kernel, the current value of jiffies, and final that the kernel

module was removed.
