Re: Prerequisite mechanism that Genode expects from a new kernel

Hello Althaf,

...

Let me suggest two pointers that we stumbled upon when we brain-stormed this idea. First, we were pointed to Linux' "resource containers", which promise to allow the assignment of fine-grained resource constraints to individual processes. This looks like an interesting mechanism to support Genode's resource-trading concept. Secondly, we were made aware of the Capsicum project, which brings capability-based security to Linux.

Linux containers should be LXC project from IBM.?

Some time ago, I stubled over the following article:

admittedly, I do not know what came out of the described patch - I just kept the article in the back of my head. .-)
