Generating Log of Guest Physical Addresses from a Kernel Function and Perform Analysis at Runtime

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

 



Dear All,

I have asked this question previously, but some people told me to explain what I really want to do. First of all, I am completely naïve andnewbie in the kernel development. 

I am trying to develop my own program that generate the log of guest physical addresses by trying to save the contents of "gpa" variable (which is present in the handle_ept_violation()functino in vmx.c ) into my file. I have found one sample code online (which uses filp_open(), filp_close(), kernel_read(), and kernel_write() functions), this code is working in the kernel space as a kernel module, but not working for my task in the handle_ept_voilation(). 

My actual goal is to generate log of physical addresses for different applications by writing them into the file, and then perform some analysis at runtime in this function by reading the logs from the log file. Furthermore, I want a file which size can dynamically grow as the size of log increases. 

I know that reading/writing in a kernel is not a good idea, but due to nature of the task, I have to this.

Thank you very much for your help.

Mr. Irfanullah
