Abstract

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) providing a framework that includes (A) a user-space component and (B) a kernel-space component, (2) identifying, via the user-space component, a series of kernel functions to be tested in kernel space, (3) identifying, via the user-space component, one or more arguments for the series of kernel functions to be tested in kernel space, and then (4) performing, via the user-space component, unit testing of a kernel from user space by (A) generating at least one message that identifies the series of kernel functions and the arguments and (B) sending the message to the kernel-space component to direct the kernel-space component to (I) populate a queue in kernel space with the series of kernel functions and the arguments and (II) sequentially execute the series of kernel functions in the queue with the arguments. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
