Dear Stephen Borrill,
My name is Piyush, and I was looking into the
'Emulating missing Linux syscalls' project hoping to contribute
to this year's GSoC.
I wanted to be sure of a few basic things before I go ahead:
- linux binaries are found in- src/sys/compat/linux
- particular implementation in - src/sys/compat/linux/common
- a few architecture-specific implementations in-
src/sys/compat/linux/arch/<arch_name>.
- The src/sys/compat/linux/arch/<arch_name>/linux_syscalls.c file
lists of system calls, and states if a particular syscall is present or not.
I was planning to work on the 'sendfile()' syscall, which I believe
is unimplemented for amd64 and a few other architectures as well.
Considering the above points, I was hoping you could point me in
the right direction for this project. Hope to hear from you soon.
