In this paper, we propose a general-purpose fault injection system for Linux loadable kernel modules. The fault injection system enables software developers and testers to inject various kinds of faults easily into user-specified kernel modules in user-controlled manner. The proposed system also provides workload generation in order to make injected faults be exposed effectively, By experiments, we show that the fault injection system correctly injects faults into Linux kernel modules. The proposed system can be utilized as a useful tool for testing during kernel module development It is also useful for studies on kernel behaviour analysis and fault isolation and recovery.

In this paper, we describe the implementation of the digital photo frame system that displays the images coming through the memory card of a digital camera. Each image can be recorded with voice in this system, and a function of the mp3 player is implemented as well. We use Intel PXA255 to control the system and modify the bootloader and linux kernel. Also we adapt device driver for this system. For the realization of image display, voice recording and mp3 playing in the basis of the linux system, we program some of the Microwindows system configuration files and program applications here. This study will be a good example to access the development of the digital photo frame based on the linux system using less-power and high performed embedded processor.

최근 사용자의 요구가 다양해지는 반면, 기존 운영체제는 정적인 구조를 갖기 때문에 이러한 요구를 효율적으로 반영하기 어렵다. 따라서 운영체제를 동적으로 재구성하여 사용자의 요구를 만족시키는 매커니즘에 관한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 기존의 커널을 재구성하는 기법들은 하드웨어 의존적인 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구들의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 트랩 기반의 커널 재구성 기법을 제안하고 리눅스 커널에 구현하였다.

현재 무선 네트웍이 발달됨에 따라 Access Point (AP)의 역할이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 AP는 단순한 HUB의 역할만 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 AP에 라우터 기능 및 Mobile IP, Agent 기능을 추가하여 통합 AP를 제시하고 있다. 통합 AP는 AP 내에 필요한 기능이 내장된 것으로서 리눅스 운영체제를 기반으로 하였다. 요구되는 기능을 리눅스 커널에 내장함으로서 AF에 쉽게 포함시킬 수 있다. 또한 무료로 제공되는 리눅스 운영체제를 사용함으로서 기존의 AP에 비해서 저렴하게 통한 AP론 구성할 수 있다.

정시 서비스를 제공하는 실시간 시스템을 설계할 때 일반성을 지니도록 하기 위하여 실시간 객체인 TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) 모델이 연구되었으며 이러한 객체를 수행하기 위한 객체 모델 수행 플렛폼이 다양한 환경에서 개발되었다. 본 논문에서는 최근 들어 많은 주목을 받고 있는 리눅스 환경에서 설계 및 구현된 미들웨어 형태의 실시간 객체 모델 수행 플렛폼 LTMOS(Linux TMO System)에 대해 기술한다. 응용 프로그램 개발자가 실시간 시스템을 TMO 모델로 디자인하면 LTMOS는 TMO의 메쏘드를 리눅스의 쓰레드로 매핑하여 리눅스 커널의 실시간 스케쥴링을 받도록 한다.

Embedded system is widely used in various applications from simple monitor to a set-top box with CPU, memory and hard disk drives. Specially, embedded OS is ported in moveable or small machinery since it ordinarily transmits multimedia data. In this paper, we propose Null copy scheme on the embedded linux system for multimedia service, which can reduce memory copy overhead from user address space to kernel one, and vice versa. Since embedded system for networked multimedia service has low level computing power as well as memory, the Null copy scheme can provide more improved QoS. Our image transmission experiment results on embedded linux target board(CPU utilization an Deadline miss rates) installed a web camera have shown that the proposed scheme can increase fast response and lower CPU overhead.

Multimedia streams, like MPEG continuously retrieve multimedia data because of their incessant playback. While these streams need an efficient support of kernel, the current buffer cache mechanism of Linux kernel such as Unix operating system was designed apt for small files, which is aperiodically requested as well as time uncritical. But, in case of continuous media, the CPU must enormously copy memory from kernel address space to user address space. This must lead to a large CPU overhead. This overhead both degrades system throughput and cannot guarantee QOS. In this paper, we have designed and implemented two memory copy reduction schemes in Linux kernel, direct I/O and one copy. The direct I/O skips the buffer cache layer of Linux kernel and results in dramatic reduction of CPU memory copy overhead. And, the one copy provides a fast disk-to-network data path without copying to user address space. The experimental results show considerable reduction of CPU overhead and throughput improvements.

Dynamic update of kernel can change kernel functionality and fix bugs in runtime. Dynamic update is important because it leverages availability, reliability and flexibility of kernel. An instruction-granularity update technique has been used for dynamic update. However, it is difficult to apply update technique for a commodity operating system kernel because development and maintenance of update code must be performed with assembly language. To overcome this difficulty, we design the function-granularity dynamic update system which uses high-level language such as C language. The proposed update system makes the development and execution of update convenient by providing the development environment for update code which is same for kernel development. We implement this system for Linux and demonstrate an example of update for EXT3 file system. The update was successfully executed.

SELinux, security operating system, is the security system which implements mandatory access control using linux security module on the traditional linux kernel supporting discretionary access control. But intrusion detection and logging are lacked when system intrusions are happened. This study proposes a SELinux security kernel which performs detection of access violation and privilege restriction using dynamic access control. It detects the intrusion using security check when the abnormal access of system is happened, and dynamically changes the system privilege for the intruder through privilege restriction. Finally we prevent reintrusion and explain the result of experiment.
