What CRtools is
CRtools is an utility to checkpoint/restore process tree. Unlike checkpoint/restore implemented completely in kernel space, it tries to achieve the same target mostly in user space.
Agenda
- Basic design (checkpoint == proc + SEIZE, restore == syscalls + execve)
- What's required from kernel
Basic design
Checkpoint
The checkpoint procedure relies heavily on /proc file system, since it's a general place where crtools takes all info it needs.
