Speaker
Description
The concept of a scriptable operating system is based on the principle
that users should have the ability to write scripts to customize and
enhance their system. In this talk, we will share our efforts in using
Lua for scripting operating system kernels. Specifically, we will
introduce Lunatik, a framework for scripting the Linux kernel that
allows the dynamic injection of Lua scripts. This framework enables
users to extend kernel mechanisms, scripting subsystems such as
Netfilter, FIB, Sockets, Notifier Chains, Kthreads, Kprobes, RCU, Char
Devices, and CPUfreq.
