Message-ID: <20170104130801.GA3816@DESKTOP-0JIB0A1> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.7.1 (2016-10-04) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi everyone, KSM is an "out-of-tree" x86-64 ("in-kernel") VT-x hypervisor, it's designed to be hackable. KSM supports the following *new* processor features: - Virtualization Exceptions - VM functions To keep this short, KSM's purpose is not to run other kernels, but more of researching (or whatsoever) the running kernel, some ideas would be sandboxing, debugging perhaps. P.S.: Sorry about the name, noticed it's a dup of kernel-shared-memory few months late. Git Tree URL: https://github.com/asamy/ksm Feedback is welcome! Thanks! asamy
