This is my fork of the Xv6 operating system for studying operating systems. You can view the original README at README.orig. The projects homepage is here: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/xv6.html

Feel free to pull/copy any code from this repository. All source is licensed under the MIT open source license. Please keep in my mind that I'm not a professional kernel developer and am using this to learn more about hardware and operating systems. As such, I'm not making any guarantees about the correctness/design of the code.

• Source tree has been reorganized in the following manner:
  • Kernel source is in sys
  • User space libraries are in lib
  • User space programs are in bin
  • All headers (kernel and user space) are located in include
  • Documentation/handbook generation logic has been removed from the respository
• CPU scheduler will halt the cpu(s) when idle
• Adds the following system calls:
  • dup2 : This mimics the functionality of Posix dup2
• Lazily allocates pages on page faults
