KVM & Syscall Modifications

Overview

Coursework and a write-up exploring Kernel Virtual Machine internals and custom system-call modifications on Ubuntu Linux. The work involved rebuilding the kernel, adding and wiring new syscalls, and reasoning about the virtualization boundary between guest and host.

Highlights

• Modified the Linux syscall table and built custom system calls.
• Investigated KVM virtualization internals on Ubuntu.
• Kernel rebuilds and low-level debugging in C.
