Abstract
The described system provides one or more processors and memory, coupled to the one or more processors, storing thereon a first OS kernel that receives a system call to access a second OS kernel function from a subsystem of the second OS retransmits the system call to one or more drivers of the first OS, support the subsystem. The system further comprises a subsystem of the second OS, comprising one or more user space components executing natively in a non-privileged mode of the one or more processors, a set of drivers associated with the second OS, the set of support components, and the one or more drivers of the first OS. The one or more drivers of the first OS receive the system call originating from the subsystem, wherein the system call is retransmitted by the first OS kernel and process the system call.
