Ksplice

Ksplice enables running Linux® systems to stay secure without the disruption

of rebooting. Ksplice creates rebootless updates for the Linux® kernel.

 

Carbon Mountain uses the Ksplice utilities to generate live Linux® kernel patches. These patches are then applied to running KaOS™ platforms to patch the Linux® kernel in real-time. Traditionally these patches would require the system to be rebooted. Thanks to the Ksplice project, Carbon Mountain can patch kernel problems without requiring users to reboot their systems. Ksplice has been designed into the fabric of KaOS™, for improved integration and stability.  

Ksplice is a core component in KaOS™ and vKaOS™.
