1. A method, comprising: inserting, by one or more processors, a hidden kernel process structure into an active process list by pointing a backward link of a pointer representing the active process list to a forward link of an active process links structure of the hidden kernel process structure; synchronizing, by the one or more processors, memory operations to preserve state during the inserting of the hidden kernel process structure; and terminating, by the one or more processors, a hidden kernel process associated with the hidden kernel process structure.
