Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide high-level primitives that facilitate communication between a user-space application and an operating system kernel. Transport components reside in user-space and in kernel-space that, upon either the application or a kernel module requesting to invoke a callback, deliver parameters and other data back and forth to one another, allowing the user-space application and kernel module to communicate as if directly invoking the callback. Embodiments also provide for a definition standard that third-party developers can use to automatically emit a header file and macros for sending events and dispatching callbacks.
