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. xv6 is inspired by John Lions' 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/6.828/2006/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 (bootother.S, mp.h, mp.c, ioapic.h, lapic.c) FreeBSD (ioapic.c) NetBSD (console.c) The following people made contributions: Russ Cox (context switching, locking) Cliff Frey (MP) Xiao Yu (MP) If you spot errors or have suggestions for improvement, please send email to Frans Kaashoek and Robert Morris ({kaashoek,rtm}@csail.mit.edu). This version is the very first one, so don't be surprised if there are errors or the code is unclear. The code in the files that constitute xv6 are copyrighted, 2006, Frans Kaashoek, Robert Morris, and Russ Cox.
