# Linux Kernel Module Cheat
Run one command, get a QEMU Buildroot BusyBox virtual machine built from source with several minimal Linux kernel 4.14 module development example tutorials with GDB and KGDB step debugging and minimal educational hardware models. Limited GEM5 full system support. "Tested" in x86, ARM and MIPS guests, Ubuntu 17.10 host.

Timers are callbacks that run when an interrupt happens, from the interrupt context itself.
Therefore they produce more accurate timing than thread scheduling, which is more complex,

## How to update the Linux kernel?
If you don't care about educational patches:
cd linux
git fetch
git checkout master
If you do:
last_mainline_revision=v4.14
git rebase --onto master $last_mainline_revision
Then rebuild the kernel:
next_mainline_revision=v4.15
cd linux
git remote add up git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch up
git rebase --onto "$next_mainline_revision" "$last_mainline_revision"
./build -t linux-reconfigure
Create and push a tag to make things saner:
git checkout -b "lkmc-${next_mainline_revision}"
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:cirosantilli/linux.git
git push --follow-tag
and update the README!
Now, all you kernel modules may break, although they are usually trivial breaks of things moving around headers or to sub-structs.
The userland, however, should simply not break, as Linus enforces strict backwards compatibility of userland interfaces.
