Until we cover modversions, the examples in the guide may not work if you're running a kernel with modversioning turned on. However, most stock Linux distro kernels come with it turned on. If you're ...

When you program in the kernel, there is no operating system to step in and safely stop your code from running and tell you that you have a problem. The Linux kernel is pretty nice to its own code.

This article presents a cracker idea—the kernel module exploit—and shows how you can improve your system's security by using some of the same ideas and techniques. First, I will discuss the origin of ...

The kernel, however, including modules, has no such restriction. That can make debugging modules tricky because you can easily bring the system to its knees.

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.
