42 <p>Do you also find debugging of Linux kernel drivers a nightmare? Would you
43 like to be able to run them as normal userland process including fancy
44 <code>gdb</code> debugging and <code>SIGSEGV</code>-guarded operation?
46 <p>KernelWare provides stub-style emulation of core kernel functions and
47 is able to link with already pre-compiled modules. No special compilation
48 flags needed, just link the <code>.o</code> module of the driver with
49 KernelWare and you will get standard executable.</p>
50 <p>Currently only a few functions are implemented and the code is rather
51 an ugly hack than professional solution. I do not expect to ever develop
52 it into some clean software, take it as it is, improve it or let it be.</p>
