OSDB: Exposing the Operating System's Inner Database
Summary: Expose OS kernel state through a relational interface and support incremental adoption on production OSes, replacing ad-hoc query mechanisms with declarative queries. OSDB prototype shows the data model, concurrency control, four real use cases, and low overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
