In this quarter, we are pleased to announce two (of many) works achieved in the Linuxulator.

+ +

We added a new placeholder marker UNIMPLEMENTED to + accompany the previously existing DUMMY, for + distinguishing syscalls that the Linux kernel itself does not + implement from those that we currently do not implement. Now + our linux_dummy.c is clearer for the newcomers to + follow, and they will quickly know which areas they can start + working on.

+ +

Support for two new syscalls, preadv and + pwritev, was added to the Linuxulator.

+ + + + We plan to implement the execveat syscall for the + native &os; syscall table and then port/wrap it for use in + the Linuxulator. + +
