Fractal Weyl law for Linux Kernel Architecture
We study the properties of spectrum and eigenstates of the Google matrix of a directed network formed by the procedure calls in the Linux Kernel. Our results obtained for various versions of the Linux Kernel show that the spectrum is characterized by the fractal Weyl law established recently for systems of quantum chaotic scattering and the Perron-Frobenius operators of dynamical maps. The frac...
متن کاملHijacking the Linux Kernel
In this paper, a new method of hijacking the Linux kernel is presented. It is based on analysing the Linux system call handler, where a proper set of instructions is subsequently replaced by a jump to a different function. The ability to change the execution flow in the middle of an existing function represents a unique approach in Linux kernel hacking. The attack is applicable to all kernels f...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Linux Kernel
Linux scheduling is based on the time-sharing technique already introduced in the section "CPU's Time Sharing" in Chapter 5, Timing Measurements: several processes are allowed to run "concurrently," which means that the CPU time is roughly divided into "slices," one for each runnable process.[1] Of course, a single processor can run only one process at any given instant. If a currently running ...
متن کاملTuning the Linux Kernel
Linux continues to attract telecommunication industry attention. Optimising the Linux kernel can improve system performance and reduce system total costs. The Linux kernel has a large number of parameters to fine-tune system performance available to the system administrator. We focus on the kernel parameters that are most relevant to adjust for improving performance for specific system classes....
متن کاملMaintainability of the Linux kernel
We have examined 365 versions of Linux. For every version, we counted the number of instances of common (global) coupling between each of the 17 kernel modules and all the other modules in that version of Linux. We found that the number of instances of common coupling grows exponentially with version number. This result is significant at the 99.99% level, and no additional variables are needed ...
