First go to Nvidia website and download the graphic card drivers for Linux. Untar it (via the “-x” command):
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run -x
Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35
Verifying archive integrity… OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 256.35/tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Then “cd kernel” to view the files:
wc *.c |sort -n
97 240 2397 os-registry.c
151 355 3441 nv_gvi.c
272 1192 9077 gcc-version-check.c

Wow….a lot of the logic is behind nv.c, and so looking for “probe” symbol:
grep -i probe *.c
nv.c:static NvU32 num_probed_nv_devices = 0;
nv.c:int nv_kern_probe(struct pci_dev *, const struct pci_device_id *);
nv.c:int nv_kern_smu_probe(struct pci_dev *);
nv.c: .probe = nv_kern_probe,
nv.c: if (num_probed_nv_devices != count)
nv.c: “NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine was not called for %d device(s).\n”,
nv.c: count – num_probed_nv_devices);
nv.c: if (num_probed_nv_devices == 0)
nv.c: nv_printf(NV_DBG_ERRORS, “NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter probed!\n”);
nv.c: if (num_probed_nv_devices != num_nv_devices)
nv.c: “NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for %d device(s).\n”,
nv.c: num_probed_nv_devices – num_nv_devices);
nv.c:/* make sure the pci_driver called probe for all of our devices.
nv.c:nv_kern_probe
nv.c: return nv_kern_smu_probe(dev);
nv.c: num_probed_nv_devices++;
nv.c: if (nv_ext_kern_probe(num_nv_devices))
nv.c: nv_printf(NV_DBG_ERRORS, “NVRM: failed extended probe!!\n”);
nv.c:nv_kern_smu_probe
Who called nv_kern_probe():
It is called during the PCI setup phase:
static struct pci_driver nv_pci_driver = {
.name = “nvidia”,
.id_table = nv_pci_table,
.probe = nv_kern_probe,
#if defined(NV_PM_SUPPORT_DEVICE_DRIVER_MODEL)
.suspend = nv_kern_suspend,
.resume = nv_kern_resume,
#endif
};
and nv_pci_driver is registered during the module initialization:
static int __init nvidia_init_module(void)
{
<……>
if (pci_register_driver(&nv_pci_driver) < 0)
{
rc = -ENODEV;
nv_printf(NV_DBG_ERRORS, “NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!\n”);
goto failed2;
}
A list of some other functions in nv.c are:
static void nv_kern_vma_open(struct vm_area_struct *);
static void nv_kern_vma_release(struct vm_area_struct *);
int nv_kern_open(struct inode *, struct file *);

void nv_kern_isr_bh(unsigned long);
#if !defined(NV_IRQ_HANDLER_T_PRESENT) || (NV_IRQ_HANDLER_T_ARGUMENT_COUNT == 3)
irqreturn_t nv_kern_isr(int, void *, struct pt_regs *);
#else
irqreturn_t nv_kern_isr(int, void *);
#endif
void nv_kern_rc_timer(unsigned long);
static int nv_kern_apm_event(struct pm_dev *, pm_request_t, void *);
static int nv_kern_read_cardinfo(char *, char **, off_t off, int, int *, void *);

static int nv_kern_read_version(char *, char **, off_t off, int, int *, void *);
static int nv_kern_read_text_file(char *, char **, off_t off, int, int *, void *);
int nv_kern_ctl_open(struct inode *, struct file *);
int nv_kern_ctl_close(struct inode *, struct file *);
int nv_kern_probe(struct pci_dev *, const struct pci_device_id *);
int nv_kern_smu_probe(struct pci_dev *);
static int nv_kern_suspend(struct pci_dev *, pm_message_t);
static int nv_kern_smu_suspend(void);
static int nv_kern_resume(struct pci_dev *);
static int nv_kern_smu_resume(void);
The above functions – in particular – nv_kern_read_cardinfo() will call the rm_* (for Resource Manager) functions to get the details:

where are all these functions implemented? In the same directory comes a pre-compiled object files: nv-kernel.o:
