[RFC PATCH v7 02/78] 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 KVMI (KVM introspection sub-system) to
ungracefully shutdown the guest when an introspection tool requests it.

A security application will use it as a last resort in stopping the
spread of a malware from a guest
