Method and system for child-parent mechanism emulation via a general interface

摘要

A method for emulating a system call includes making the system call by a first process in a first operating system (OS) for interacting with a second process, wherein the first OS is emulated in a second OS, spawning an agent process, wherein the agent process is a child process of the first process, implementing a functionality of the system call using a general mechanism in the second OS between the agent process and the second process, passing a result associated with the system call from the second process to the agent process using the general mechanism, and relaying the result from the agent process to the first process using a system call in the second OS, wherein the result is stored by the first process.
