In your linux version 3.13 create_proc_read_entry this method has been deleted,instead using proc_create or proc_create_data.You can use this API

struct proc_dir_entry *proc_create_data(const char *, umode_t,
                       struct proc_dir_entry *,
                       const struct file_operations *,
                       void *);

static inline struct proc_dir_entry *proc_create(
         const char *name, umode_t mode, struct proc_dir_entry *parent,
         const struct file_operations *proc_fops);
