GIT tag: v0.4

New features

  • ARM port
  • Remote syscall execution
  • C/R of
    • FPU state
    • File locks (basic support)
    • Rlimits

  • 32/64-bit problems mostly resolved (while doing ARM port)

v. 0.3

crtools-0.3.tar.bz2
Released: 11 Dec 2012
GIT tag: v0.3

New features

  • C/R of shell jobs
  • Handle files, that are opened and unlinked, but some other hard link exists
  • More SOL_SOCKET socket options. Two most interesting are:
    • Binding socket to device (SO_BINDTODEVICE)
    • Per-socket packet filter (SO_ATTACH_FILTER)
  • Shutdown state of a socket
  • Task scheduler parameters (nice, policy and prio)
  • Properly handle COW pages
  • Memory mapped packet sockets (with SOL- options this is enough for tcpdump tool support)
  • Complementary groups (getgroups(2))
  • Various mapping features, configured with madvise(2)
  • Tune TCP sockets support to work with IPv6 sockets
  • Closed (or not yet connected/bound) unix sockets

Bug fixes and improvements
