Conventions

All sources should be written with Allman style. The Allman style is named after Eric Allman. It is sometimes referred to as “ANSI style” for its use in the documents describing the ANSI C standard. Proponents of this style often cite its use by ANSI and in other standards as justification for its adoption. The style puts the brace associated with a control statement on the next line, indented to the same level as the control statement. Statements within the braces are indented to the next (...) - Conventions

Virtual memory

JKB — 2010-12-01T09:31:27Z

When system is booting, vmskernel.sys is lauched as L4 roottask. Its pager is sigma0 default pager. Sigma0 is an idempotent pager and roottask mainly handle physical memory. In some circumstances, roottask can map virtual memory when a thread attemps to access to nonexistent memory. Sigma0 only maps memory for roottask and only once. Thus, roottask, after complete initialization, enters in infinite loop that can dispatch pagefault protocol (sys$pagefault()). Roottask only maps and unmaps (...) - Architecture / virtual memory

Architecture

Le système d'exploitation VMS (Virtual Memory System) est disponible sur les architectures VAX, Alpha et Itanium et malgré des qualités indéniables, son avenir est incertain. Le but du projet FreeVMS est de coder un clone libre de système suivant les spécifications d'OpenVMS 8.3 et fonctionnant au moins sur l'architecture amd64. Il est écrit en langage C. - Accueil / but

FreeVMS server does not contain driver. All drivers are loaded by SYS$INIT task and are started in separated address space. - Kernel development / development

Kernel development

JKB — 2010-11-19T13:46:12Z

FreeVMS kernel is split in two part: L4/X2 development to port FreeVMS under other architectures; FreeVMS server Now, we only develop FreeVMS server: initialization; job controller; memory management. - Kernel development / kernel, development
