Kernel modules run in kernel space and can be added or removed without rebooting, allowing features such as drivers, filesystems, or protocol handlers to be added dynamically.
In Linux, modules are typically built as loadable kernel objects with a .ko extension. They are loaded
Modules may declare dependencies on other modules; modprobe can automatically load required peers. Compatibility with the
Security and stability considerations are important: loading modules requires appropriate privileges, and a faulty module can
