Dear All, Please watch the talk I mentioned in class: "Fork Yeah! The Rise and Development of illumos" by Bryan Cantrill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc The links we looked at today: the simpler Linux syscall entry point http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~sergey/cs108/rootkits/entry.S (note there are two, for old-style int 0x80 and new-style sysenter; also look for sys_call_table.) Linux 32 bit system call numbers http://syscalls.kernelgrok.com (note that 64-but calls are completely different http://blog.rchapman.org/post/36801038863/linux-system-call-table-for-x86-64) Refresh your x86 assembly: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~sergey/cs258/tiny-guide-to-x86-assembly.pdf More about the x86 32-bit and 64-bit architectures: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~sergey/cs258/solaris-on-x86.pdf Read 2.1, 2.3, 3.1, and 3.2 Thanks, --Sergey
