Hi Adam!
maybe the KMB lecture slides are somehow helpful.
They are a good starting point to understand the principles. However the mapping to the code is still unclear. Wouldn't it be possible to get a student (HiWi) writing some documentation?
You should have some good understanding of Linux internals though
Yes. And that's exactly my problem ... :-(
understand what the important code does.
First understand what the important code is.
Besides that you can of course ask questions and I can try to answer
them.
From your lecture I understand that a new architecture would require
mainly changes to the "Lower Half" of L4Linux. But I suppose there are also changes required to the Syscall Interface. However, since I want to port it to another L4 Interface, I'll also have to rewrite a lot more. So I'm tending more to use either the L4Linux-2.4 (where there is no documentation) or Wombat, which at least builds on the L4.X2 API.
Anyways, I fear I won't manage to do it within 6 weeks ... :-(
Thanks for the help,
Martin.

It's difficult to find someone who who can do this.

Well but that's needed.

Yes, sure. Some of the code has core character, some is more optional.

Yes, both sides.

The interface of current L4Linux is conceptually quite the same as X.2, so there aren't so much difference on how they work.

Frankly, yes, I'd say 6 weeks is quite a bit too little time...
