Abstract

A method for achieving atomicity while inspecting a running computer process using a copy-on-write process in a supervisor to generate a copy of a target's memory page being written to, prior to executing the write, the copy along with any unwritten to memory pages in the target being mapped to a measurement agent (MA) and used to reflect the state of the target at a particular moment in time which state when observed by the MA provides an atomic runtime inspection.
