A loadable kernel module (LKM) is an executable library that extends the capabilities of a running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system. LKMs are typically used to add support for new hardware (as device drivers ) and/or filesystems , or for adding system calls .
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center (formerly Sun Ops Center) is a data center automation tool that simplifies discovery and management of physical and virtualized assets. Among its features it can: [ 1 ]
The term user space (or userland) refers to all code that runs outside the operating system's kernel. [2] User space usually refers to the various programs and libraries that the operating system uses to interact with the kernel: software that performs input/output, manipulates file system objects, application software, etc.
Oracle Cloud File System [1] (CloudFS) is a storage management suite developed by Oracle Corporation. CloudFS consists of a cluster file system called ASM Cluster File System ( ACFS ), and a cluster volume manager called ASM Dynamic Volume Manager ( ADVM ) initially released in August 2007.
The bootloader will load the kernel and initial root file system image into memory and then start the kernel, passing in the memory address of the image. At the end of its boot sequence, the kernel tries to determine the format of the image from its first few blocks of data, which can lead either to the initrd or initramfs scheme.
The patch is compiled as usual, but the generated code has additional information about all changed code pieces caused by original source code modification and information on to how to apply these code pieces. The resulting code modifications are safely applied to the running kernel. A special KernelCare kernel module applies the patches. It ...
First, get your facts right. The Windows NT kernel is not a microkernel, it's called a "hybrid kernel". And the "hybrid" part is mostly marketing. All device drivers, file systems, etc still run in kernel mode, just like in a monolithic kernel (see hybrid kernel). And how exactly are Windows's loadable kernel drivers different from LKM?
This category contains articles documenting various Linux kernel features. Most features in the Linux kernel can be compiled as loadable kernel modules, or can be statically linked into the kernel binary. For features that are bundled separately from the Linux kernel, please see Category:Third-party Linux kernel modules.
