Augustin Cavalier 5796ecc706 kernel/thread: Add proper permissions checks. * Add a utility thread_check_permissions(), which takes the target thread, the calling thread, and whether or not this is a "kernel" call, and then returns whether the target thread may be legally modified. * Refactor all calls that operate by sending a signal to the thread into a single thread_send_signal() utility function, which now uses thread_check_permissions() appropriately. * Manually add the permissions checks to other functions as needed. Solves a bunch of decade+-old TODOs.		2019-01-31 20:05:39 -05:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
