US 2013/0097357 A1 · METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING MEMORY OF VIRTUAL MACHINE AND COMPUTER SYSTEM THEREOF

Abstract

A method for identifying memories of virtual machines is provided. The method is adapted to a computer system executing at least one virtual machine, and an operating system is executed on the virtual machine. The method includes the following steps. A kernel file of the operating system is obtained, and the kernel file includes version information of the operation system. A source code and a configuration file of the operating system are obtained according to the version information, and the versions of the source code and the configuration file are complied with the version of the operating system. An object file is generated by compiling a fixed interface function with the source code according to the configuration file. Memory pages of the virtual machine are identified according to the object file. Furthermore, a computer system using the foregoing method is also provided.

Dependent claims

A method for identifying memories of virtual machines, adapted to a computer system executing at least one virtual machine, wherein an operating system is executed on the at least one virtual machine, and the method for identifying memories of virtual machines comprising:

obtaining a kernel file of the operating system, wherein the kernel file comprises version information of the operating system;
obtaining at least one source code and a configuration file of the operating system according to the version information, wherein versions of the at least one source code and the configuration file are complied with a version of the operating system;
compiling a fixed interface function with the at least one source code according to the configuration file to generate at least one object file;
and
identifying memory pages of the at least one virtual machine according to the at least one object file.

2 more elements

A computer system, adapted to execute at least one virtual machine, wherein an operating system is executed on the at least one virtual machine, and the computer system comprising:

a memory unit, comprising a plurality of physical memory pages;
an operating system version control unit, coupled to the memory unit;
and
a processing unit, coupled to the memory unit and the operating system version control unit,
wherein the operating system version control unit obtains a kernel file of the operating system, wherein the kernel file comprises version information of the operating system, and obtains at least one source code and a configuration file of the operating system according to the version information, wherein versions of the at least one source code and the configuration file are complied with a version of the operating system, and compiles a fixed interface function with the at least one source code according to the configuration file to generate at least one object file, and the processing unit identifies memory pages on the at least one virtual machine according to the at least one object file.
