Hi everybody,
The purpose of the Linux Kernel Library project is to organize the Linux kernel code in a library which can be used in third party projects. It strives to be portable across hardware platforms, operating systems, as well as kernel and user-space environments.
The library prototype we developed was tested with a few applications (prototypes as well): - portable FTP daemon (using the Apache Runtime Library) which can be used to read/write Linux filesystems - windows filesystem driver for Linux filesystems
We also added (very incomplete) support for running the application code under valgrind to help us catch memory related bugs in the kernel code via a new SL*B allocator.
The modifications to the Linux kernel code are minimal and isolated, as all modifications are done as a new architecture port. You can find the code in git repositories here:
http://ixlabs.cs.pub.ro/git/?p=lkl/linux-2.6;a=summary http://ixlabs.cs.pub.ro/git/?p=lkl/lklftpd;a=summary http://ixlabs.cs.pub.ro/git/?p=lkl/lklvfs;a=summary
Since the code is starting the bitrot, I thought of dropping an announce here to get your opinion and maybe a boost to this project - if there are people believing that there is value in this project.
We are eagerly waiting for your comments :)
Thanks, Lucian, Stefania, Tavi
