Kernel "libc"

53

We will need a restricted set of libc-like functions in the kernel. E.g., some way of printing output for debugging, some initial way of dynamically allocating memory a la kmalloc,...

Task Scheduler

16

Implement a task scheduler, initially used to schedule processes, later to schedule threads.

System Calls

14

We need the two "endpoints" for system call support: An entry.s like kernel-side system call handler and the corresponding syscall function in user space.

Signals

14

Implement signal and signal handler support.

Parsing Kernel Arguments

10

Once we have more of the kernel up and running we might want to pass arguments to it, e.g., to selectively load user processes. Therefore, we need an argument parser.

Process abstraction

4

We need a proper process abstraction, i.e., some implementation of a PCB and some initial implementation of context-switching into a process.

DMA Driver

2

Implement DMA support.

Adopt and modify an existing libc implementation like musl-libc so that it can be used to build statically-linked userspace programs.
