Running a kernel-dependent application in a container

TLDR
In this article, a UML kernel is run inside a container of a host, and a system call hook kernel module on the host is used to hook a system called received from the container.
Abstract
Examples of techniques for running kernel dependent applications in containers are disclosed. In one example implementation, a method includes initiating, by a processing system, a user mode Linux (UML) kernel in a container of a host. The method further includes initiating, by the processing system, an agent inside the UML, the agent configured to handle system call redirection from a host kernel of the host. The method further includes enabling, by the processing system, a system call hook kernel module on the host to hook a system call received from the container. The method further includes determining, by the processing system, whether the UML kernel is running inside the container. The method further includes, based at least in part on determining that the UML is running inside the container, passing, by the processing system, the system call to the UML kernel inside the container.
