Ksplice allows system administrators to apply patches to their
|
|
operating system kernels without rebooting. Unlike previous hot
|
|
update systems, Ksplice operates at the object code layer, which
|
|
allows Ksplice to transform many traditional source code patches into
|
|
hot updates with little or no programmer involvement. In the common
|
|
case that a patch does not change the semantics of persistent data
|
|
structures, Ksplice can create a hot update without a programmer
|
|
writing any new code.
