Virtualization in Linux
Abstract
Three main virtualization approaches—emulation, paravirtualization,
and operating system-level virtualization—are covered, followed
by the implementation examples, comparison of the technologies and
their applications. OS-level virtualization is described in detail, with
examples from OpenVZ. The main kernel components (isolation and
virtualization, resource management, checkpointing and live migration)
and user-level tools are also explained. Typical usage scenarios
of virtualization solutions are presented.

Post Mortem Crash Analysis
Abstract
To improve the quality and reliability of embedded systems it is important to
gather information about errors in units already sold and deployed To achieve
this, a system for transmitting error information from the customer back to the
developers is needed, and the developers must also have a set of tools to analyze
the error reports The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a fully functioning
demonstration system for collection, transmission and interpretation of error reports
from Axis network cameras using the Linux operating system The system has been shown
to handle both kernel and application errors and conducts automatic analysis of received
data It also uses standard HTTP protocol for all network transfers making it easy to use
even on firewalled networks
