Re: Information on GSoC kernel project



Hi Sassi Aissa,

NetBSD can already run Linux binaries unmodified on other architectures.
There's some architecture-specific code that must be written for arm64
to have this.

The directory, for example, for amd64, is:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/tree/trunk/sys/compat/linux/arch/amd64

Linux is not very consistent about per-architecture syscall logic, so
copy pasting might not be right.

We will have to write the code but for ARM64 and test it a lot. But even
writing some support is OK, it's not necessary to complete 100% of it
(Linux compat support can be better even for amd64...)
