xv6 is a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix | ||
Version 6 (v6). xv6 loosely follows the structure and style of v6, | ||
but is implemented for a modern x86-based multiprocessor using ANSI C. | ||
|
||
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS | ||
An implementation of a log-structured filesystem into xv6. | ||
Jon Morton, 2011. | ||
|
||
xv6 is inspired by John Lions's Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition (Peer | ||
to Peer Communications; ISBN: 1-57398-013-7; 1st edition (June 14, | ||
2000)). See also http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2007/v6.html, which | ||
provides pointers to on-line resources for v6. | ||
current limitations: | ||
- only one inode per block. this greatly simplifies the imap. | ||
- the imap can only be one block long (1024 inodes). | ||
|
||
xv6 borrows code from the following sources: | ||
JOS (asm.h, elf.h, mmu.h, bootasm.S, ide.c, console.c, and others) | ||
Plan 9 (bootother.S, mp.h, mp.c, lapic.c) | ||
FreeBSD (ioapic.c) | ||
NetBSD (console.c) | ||
implementation order, as time allows: | ||
[ ] mkfs | ||
[ ] read-only lfs | ||
[ ] segment writing | ||
[ ] segment cleaning | ||

|
||
BUILDING AND RUNNING XV6 | ||
|
||
To build xv6 on an x86 ELF machine (like Linux or FreeBSD), run "make". | ||
On non-x86 or non-ELF machines (like OS X, even on x86), you will | ||
need to install a cross-compiler gcc suite capable of producing x86 ELF | ||
binaries. See http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2007/tools.html. | ||
Then run "make TOOLPREFIX=i386-jos-elf-". | ||
|
||
To run xv6, you can use Bochs or QEMU, both PC simulators. | ||
Bochs makes debugging easier, but QEMU is much faster. | ||
To run in Bochs, run "make bochs" and then type "c" at the bochs prompt. | ||
To run in QEMU, run "make qemu". | ||
|
||
To create a typeset version of the code, run "make xv6.pdf". This | ||
requires the "mpage" utility. See http://www.mesa.nl/pub/mpage/. |
