Tiny ARMv8 aarch64 kernel.
==========================

DISCLAMER: This is a project with educational purposes. I'm passionate about
kernel development and after reading Silberschatz's book I felt the need to
try to implement some stuff on my own.

----

What I have implemented so far
------------------------------

 * A simple *generic interrupt controller* driver, allowing the cpu to receive
 interrupts from the connected devices. This was implemented very early since
 it is required to preempt usercode to switch the context.

 * A very basic *virtual memory* manager. What I don't like about this is the
 fact that it is highly coupled with the ARMv8 architecture. I opted for this
 solution because it was easier to implement and I don't intend to support
 other architectures.

 * A *slab* allocator.

 * A *heap* allocator.

 * A *VIRTIO* block device driver (only allowing sync operations at the current
 state).

 * A *FAT16* driver (at the moment with limited functionalities).

 * An *ELF* file parser. I use this to load the program section of the *init*
 process (which is the first process in usermode).

 * A *ramfs*

 There is still a loooong way to go, but I'm learning *how to do* (after
 discovering *how not to do*) stuff.
