Abstract
This application discloses at least a kernel repair method and apparatus. An embodiment of the method includes: loading a patch for repairing a to-be-repaired object function in a kernel, the patch being written in a memory-safe language subset of a non-memory-safe language or a memory-safe language; executing the patch using a memory-safe language engine; receiving a call request for calling a repair interface to repair the object function during the executing of the patch, wherein the repair interface is an interface provided by the memory-safe language engine and used for repairing a function; and executing the requested repair interface to repair the object function. As such, the hot patching and security of a kernel can be achieved.
