Abstracting special file interfaces to concurrently support multiple operating system levels

摘要

Some examples include a system, a computer program product, an apparatus, and the like, configured to perform operations to access, in response to a request by a first instance of an operating system, data stored in a memory of a kernel of a second instance of the operating system. The operations are further to determine whether the data stored in the memory of the kernel of the second instance of the operating system is in a data format that is compatible with the first instance of the operating system. The operations are further to provide the data in the data format that is compatible with the first instance of the operating system. For instance, in some examples, the operations are to determine that the data is in a format incompatible with the first instance of the operating system, and reformat the data in the data format compatible with the first instance of the operating system.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and a computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations to
access, in response to a request by a first instance of an operating system, data stored in a memory of a kernel of a second instance of the operating system, wherein the first instance of the operating system and the second instance of the operating system run concurrently on the system, wherein the first instance of the operating system and the second instance of the operating system share the kernel, and wherein the second instance of the operating system manages the kernel,determine that the data stored in the memory of the kernel of the second instance of the operating system is in a first data format that is incompatible with the first instance of the operating system,reformat the data in the first data format with a second data format that is compatible with the first instance of the operating system, andprovide the data in the second data format to the first instance of the operating system.
