kevFs
kevFs, or Kernel Event Forwarding System, is a component within certain operating system kernels designed to efficiently manage and dispatch events. Its primary function is to act as a central hub for kernel-generated events, allowing various subsystems and user-space applications to subscribe to and receive notifications about specific occurrences. This can include events like hardware interrupts, system calls, network packet arrivals, or changes in device status.
The system operates by allowing event producers within the kernel to register their events with the kevFs.
Key benefits of using a system like kevFs include reduced overhead compared to traditional polling methods,
