README

        
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

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/6.828/2012/v6.html, which

provides pointers to on-line resources for v6.

xv6 borrows code from the following sources:

    JOS (asm.h, elf.h, mmu.h, bootasm.S, ide.c, console.c, and others)

    Plan 9 (entryother.S, mp.h, mp.c, lapic.c)

    FreeBSD (ioapic.c)

    NetBSD (console.c)

The following people have made contributions:

    Russ Cox (context switching, locking)

    Cliff Frey (MP)

    Xiao Yu (MP)

    Nickolai Zeldovich

    Austin Clements

In addition, we are grateful for the patches contributed by Greg

Price, Yandong Mao, and Hitoshi Mitake.

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/6.828/2012/tools.html.

Then run "make TOOLPREFIX=i386-jos-elf-".

To run xv6, you can use the Bochs or QEMU 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/.
