Support for multiple processes about linux HOT 5 CLOSED

Answering my own question, I believe that could be possible. We'd need to actually fork the process, which means we'd lose direct access to lkl. So we'd have to use some form of IPC, possibly shared memory and semaphores.

Any use-case you have in mind? Fully implementing fork/clone would require MMU support, which we don't currently have.

Many programs use fork, like sh, make, some compilers, etc... So not supporting it could limit possible applications.

More specifically, I had intended to use lkl for compiling stuff that needs chroot and mount (like Linux from Scratch) without requiring root or even being able to compile it on Windows.

This is not a use-case that we plan to suport with LKL. UML or VMs are better suited for these kind of uses-cases.

Indeed, UML fits my use case better.
