What's new

Process CheckPoint/Migration/Restore

Ability to save process current state to filesystem and restore later. following program show how to use our checkpoint and restore feature.

#include "checkpoint_u.h"
#include "user.h"

int main() {
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		printf(1, "%d\n", i);

	if (checkpoint_u() < 0) {
		printf(2, "everything went wrong ...\n");
		exit();
	}

    	for (; i < 20; i++)
        	printf(1, "%d\n", i);

       	exit();
}

#include "user.h"
#include "checkpoint_u.h"

int main()
{
	restore_u("checkpoint_test");
	exit();
}

Basic netwroking support for N2K drivers

Basic networking support (bochs only)

Halt/Shutdown

Halt function added (it may or may not work!)

Introduntion

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 this, 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 bug reports and patches contributed by Silas Boyd-Wickizer, Peter Froehlich, Shivam Handa, Anders Kaseorg, Eddie Kohler, Yandong Mao, Hitoshi Mitake, Carmi Merimovich, Joel Nider, Greg Price, Eldar Sehayek, Yongming Shen, Stephen Tu, and Zouchangwei.

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

• To run xv6, install the QEMU PC simulators. 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 here.
