+ libp2k: the interface between libpuffs and vfs/vop
+ libukfs: generic user kernel file system library, usable
independent of libp2k and/or puffs
* use file system name (MOUNT_XYZ) instead of vfsops pointer to
mount file system
any real trickery. Unfortunately this was the easy part; r/w
support is going to make ascending naked, blind, illiterate, without
food and as an atheist look trivial.
/sys/rump contains programs which run unmodified kernel code in an
emulated userspace environment. The kernel environment is provided
by librump. Currently supported are a number of file systems,
which by using puffs integrate seamlessly into the system and
provide a similar user experience to if the code was running as
part of the kernel. Potential future rumpification targets include
for example parts of the networking stack and some device drivers.
This work was supported by Google Summer of Code 2007.
