Overview
Exploration of virtual machine and hypervisor concepts using C and Assembly. Part-1a lists various ioctl calls available, with Part-1b and Part-2 providing deeper implementation details.
Key Features
- ioctl Interface: System call mechanisms for hypervisor interaction
- Virtual Machine Management: Core VM lifecycle and context switching
- Hypervisor Internals: Understanding how VMs are created and managed
- Low-level Programming: Assembly for critical VM operations
- System Integration: Kernel module development for VM support
Technologies
- C for VM implementation and management
- Assembly for hypervisor-level operations
- ioctl system calls for kernel interaction
- Makefile for build automation
