Rump (Runnable Userspace Meta Program) is a mechanism for running kernel code
|
|
as part of a user program's address space. As opposed to executing system calls
|
|
for requesting kernel services, rump programs do a library call into the kernel
|
|
code for equivalent functionality. Kernel code is simply recompiled as a
|
|
userspace shared library from the kernel sources instead of being rewritten,
|
|
so services imitate the same services being provided by the kernel. Select
|
|
architectures such as i386 and amd64 also support directly linking binary
|
|
kernel modules against rump programs.
