 In the following, we describe a variety of ideas that could be implemented
 for future AFL++ versions.

-into a linux kernel module, so no source in the kernel needs to be changed.
-Or write your worn LKM from scratch to do this.
 The perf-fuzz kernel can be found at [https://github.com/sslab-gatech/perf-fuzz](https://github.com/sslab-gatech/perf-fuzz)
 There also is/was a FreeBSD project at [https://github.com/veracode-research/freebsd-perf-fuzz](https://github.com/veracode-research/freebsd-perf-fuzz)
 
 This enables snapshot fuzzing on Linux with an incredible performance!

 ## Reengineer `afl-fuzz` as Thread Safe, Embeddable Library
 
-Right now, afl-fuzz is single threaded, cannot safely be embedded in tools, and not multi-threaded. It makes use of a large number of globals, must always be the parent process and exec child processes.

 Instead, afl-fuzz could be refactored to contain no global state and globals.

 AFL++ supports collison-free maps using an LTO (link-time-optimization) pass.
 This should be possible to implement for QEMU and Unicorn instrumentations.
-As the forkserver parent caches just in time translated translation blocks, adding a simple counter between jumps should be doable.
