Our article Is POSIX Outdated in the Cloud Era? spurred a bit of discussion in the developer community (especially in our native field of high-performance cloud computing), and these discussions have solidified our position: while POSIX within Linux is here to stay, we’re not the only ones who want to innovate beyond what the Linux kernel is currently capable of. So what can be done? We think that virtualizing syscalls at the userspace level is the most sensible path to making Linux and POSIX extensible without having to interfere with the standard. What does “virtualizing syscalls” mean? Applications interact with the host operating system by using syscalls. Everything a program sees about its parent environment is provided through syscalls: how much memory it’s using, what networking interfaces are present, IP addresses, disks, files… all interactions between a piece of software and the host are done via syscalls. Virtualizing syscalls means adding a layer of abstraction between the application and the operating system, intercepting each interaction so that the underlying behavior can be altered, without the application knowing. Wine is a well-known implementation of this: When a Windows application is run on Linux using Wine, its syscalls are intercepted and all
