The execBlock method supports the various control flows defined by the ACPI standard (next instr, continue, break and return). It is designed so that it can be recursively invoked both AML methods and various flow-altering opcodes (e.g. opIf, opWhile e.t.c.)
gopher-os
The goal of this project is to build a 64-bit POSIX-compliant tick-less kernel with a Linux-compatible syscall implementation using Go.
This project is not about building yet another OS but rather exists to serve as proof that Go is indeed a suitable tool for writing low level code that runs at ring-0.
Note: This project is still in the early stages of development and is not yet
in a usable state. In fact, if you build the ISO and boot it, the kernel will
eventually panic with a Kmain returned
error.
To find out more about the current project status and feature roadmap take a look at the status page.
Building and running gopher-os
TLDR version: make run-qemu
or make run-vbox
.
A detailed guide about building, running and debugging gopher-os on Linux/OSX as well as the list of supported boot command line options are available here.
How does it look?
