At: FOSDEM 2020

LKL (Linux Kernel Library) is aiming to allow reusing the Linux kernel
code as extensively as possible with minimal effort and reduced
maintenance overhead. It allows us to link the library with any
programs (which wish to call as a function call) containing Linux
kernel code. There are many use cases: reading/writing files without
general system calls, putting experimental protocol implementation
without neither of host kernel update nor kernel module installation,
using customized kernel in container instance, building a unikernel
based on existing rumprun framework, or testing/fuzzing kernel
implementation in userspace execution, etc.

In this talk, we are going to present
