Description

Lguest enables the operation of several instances of a 32-bit kernel simultaneously; by using the command modprobe lg, you can initiate it by running Documentation/lguest/lguest to establish a new guest. I encourage you to experiment with it as lguest is exceedingly straightforward to set up. Its utility is significant: I can boot kernels for testing purposes in less than a second, which is approximately ten times quicker than standard qemu and a hundred times faster than a traditional boot process. Moreover, since it employs a pty for the console, you're able to perform actions such as piping the output through grep. Lguest comprises a comprehensive kernel patch, which includes the launcher and is available in versions 2.6.23-git13 and later. The primary goal of lguest is to keep the guest isolated, preventing it from accessing the host directly, aside from virtual devices provided by the host, even if the guest is acting maliciously. Nevertheless, a potentially harmful guest kernel has the capability to pin host memory, limited to the volume allocated to the guest. While most images are configured to create virtual consoles like (/dev/tty0, etc.), the console for lguest is designated as /dev/hvc0, which adds a layer of distinction to its functionality. Additionally, this makes lguest a practical tool for developers who want to test kernel changes in a rapid and efficient manner without the overhead of a full virtualization solution.

Description

PikeOS is a separation kernel-based hypervisor that supports multiple partitions for many operating systems and applications. It allows you to create smart devices for the Internet-of-Things. PikeOS is the best choice for systems that require protection against Cyber-Security attack due to its separation kernel approach. It is widely used in millions of edge and IoT systems. However, it has also been deployed in critical communications infrastructures. PikeOS combines virtualization and real time with unique technologies that have never been seen before. It allows you to move multiple complex embedded circuit boards into one hardware. It is also able to handle new hardware concepts like Big-SoCs that have multiple heterogeneous cores. PikeOS can run on multiple architectures and support processors that have a memory management unit (MMU).
