while working on a checkpoint/restore mechanism for fiasco.oc, we want to trace read and write (kernel) calls to (virtual) memory.

calls inside the kernel, which allow writing and reading to/from a virtual address
- Are these calls (if existent) platform agnostic (user-space)? Is
there any kind of interface?
I do not quite get the question. The kernel (Fiasco) is running in virtual memory, also when running in the kernel, i.e. any load/store operation that is in the code is through virtual memory. Do you want to trace any read/write issued by the kernel to user-level memory? I'm afraid, the kernel does not do that, i.e. it never touches user-level memory (except the specially treated UTCB memory). Could you please describe your question more verbosely?
