From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Huge implications. I'm wondering what the security implications are here though, especially in a Hypervisor context.
I assume you would be operating VNFs in the context of using these parameters, which implies that any security concerns would be mitigated through the use of the same.
I would agree, but if I'm looking for a way to work a payload into userspace, this sounds like a good attack vector. It's not even code complete yet, I'm just curious. The speedups are fantastic, I just want to see where the logic goes to handle protections for non-base/metal comms.
