Hello,
Since there have been some messages about documentation, I thought I might ask
about architectural documentation for the Hurd. I have taken a look at a few
of the resources mentioned on this page:
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation.html
Previously, I tried to get some kind of discussion going on the l4-hurd
mailing list about architectural topics, with regard to developing Hurd-like
components on the L4 Runtime Environment:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2019-03/msg00000.html
But it appears that there is not much appetite for discussion on that list any
more:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2019-03/msg00001.html
What interests me most at the moment is how filesystem content is paged into
processes, whether there is some kind of sharing of accessed pages between
processes (some kind of page cache, maybe), and how such things are organised.
I did find some messages about paging and some thoughts on L4-related work
from seventeen years ago:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2002-06/msg00001.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2002-06/msg00007.html
But it seems to me that if there is some documentation about the architecture
of the Hurd that covers such things and others, it might be useful for me to
take a look.
Thanks for any help!
Paul
