The things that can run in kernel-land [closed]












-1















I learned that you can write device drivers that run in kernel land, and am now wondering what other sorts of (major/important) things you can do at the kernel level that you can't do at the user-space level.



I search for "features unique to kernel-space extensions" and things like that but it doesn't give anything, maybe you have a better idea where I can begin search.

  • I think drivers are just one type of kernel modules. You can do whatever you want if you can make a module out of it, using the limited methods that a kernel provides
