Module shadow_rs::host

Process management and emulation of Linux behaviour.

This module contains the code responsible for starting the managed processes in a way that allows Shadow to intercept their syscalls. It also contains the emulation of Linux hosts, threads, processes, syscalls, files, network interfaces, etc.

Modules

• context
  This module provides several Context structs, intended to bundle together current relevant objects in the hierarchy. These are meant to replace worker_getActiveThread, etc. Passing around the current context explicitly instead of putting them in globals both allows us to avoid interior mutability (and its associated runtime cost and fallibility), and lets us keep a hierarchical object structure (e.g. allow holding a mutable Process and a mutable Thread belonging to that process simultaneously).
• cpu
• descriptor
  Linux file descriptors and file descriptions (equivalent to Linux struct files).
• futex_table
• host
  An emulated Linux system.
• managed_thread
  A thread of a managed process.
• memory_manager
  Access and manage memory of a plugin process.
• network
• process
  An emulated Linux process.
• status_listener
  Compatibility wrappers for C-style event listeners.
• syscall
• thread
  An emulated Linux thread.
• timer
