This project implements Loadable Kernel Modules with handling for concurrency and separate data from multiple processes. Following are the two Loadble Kernel Modules - Module 1 - This provides sorting ...

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 ...

Modern CPUs can run in two modes: kernel mode and user mode. When a CPU runs in kernel mode, an extended set of instructions is allowed, as is free access to anywhere in memory and device registers.

As many kernel developers and hackers have known for years, loadable/unloadable kernel modules (like user-space applications) are almost never bug-free. With the continuing use and development of ...

Members of the open source community are working on a new security-focused project for the Linux kernel. Named Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG), this is a loadable kernel module that will perform ...

Abstract: Performance analysis of a process plays a significant role in improving the overall efficiency of any system. Usually, this task is accomplished either by system level commands or user space ...

Configuration is the first step in building a kernel. There are many ways and various options to choose from. The kernel will generate a .config file at the end of the process and generate a series of ...

Abstract: In current extensible monolithic operating systems, loadable kernel modules (LKM) have unrestricted access to all portions of kernel memory and I/O space. As a result, kernel-module ...
