| Zásady pro vypracování |
| HelenOS is a microkernel operating system that was designed from scratch and intentionally does not build on any legacy APIs. While this makes its design much cleaner, it also complicates porting existing applications. Special libraries and even modifications to the build process are needed to build virtually any non-HelenOS-native software for it.
The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a support for emulation of Linux syscalls inside HelenOS. That would allow to run native Linux binaries (without any need for recompilation) directly in HelenOS. The thesis would survey existing solutions for similar emulation layers on other operating systems and environments. The thesis would analyse which approach is most suitable for HelenOS. The thesis would contain a prototype implementation of the syscall emulation layer that would demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution. |
