[PATCH v9 01/84] signal: export kill_pid_info()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Mathieu Tarral <mathieu.tarral@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This function is used by VM introspection code to ungracefully shutdown
a guest at the request of the introspection tool.

A security application will use this as the last resort to stop the
spread of a malware from a guest.
