Exploration of xv6 x86 code for operating systems class

The what

For my operating systems class I explored the x86 version of the xv6 operating system's codebase a bit.

For this class we implemented a few syscalls and implemented a scheduler.

What was learned

It was interesting to understand the guts of how schedulers and syscalls work on the kernel side of the operating system.
