linux-0.11 development environment(linux-based)

update: 2008-10-15

NOTE: you can download the whole dev environment from
http://mirror.lzu.edu.cn/software/linux-0.11/linux-0.11-for-gcc4.3.2.tar.gz
Here is just the source code of linux-0.11 for gcc 4.3.2.

  1. preparation
  • a linux distribution: debian and ubuntu are recommended
  • a virtual machine: qemu(recommend) or bochs
  • some tools: cscope, ctags, gcc-4.3(or 4.1,4.2,3.4), vim, bash, gdb, dd, qemu, xorg-dev, xserver-xorg-dev…
    $ apt-get install qemu cscope exuberant-ctags gcc-4.3 vim-full bash gdb build-essential hex graphviz xorg-dev xserver-xorg-dev vgabios libxpm-dev bochs bochs-x bochsbios bximage
  • a linux-0.11 hardware image file: hdc-0.11-new.img, please download it from http://www.oldlinux.org, or http://mirror.lzu.edu.cn/os/oldlinux.org/, after downloading it, you’d put it in linux-0.11/fs/ directory.

and you’d better install tools/calltree, tools/tree2dotx yourself: just copy
them to /usr/bin, of course, you’d compile calltree at first.

  1. hack linux-0.11

get help from the main Makefile of linux-0.11 and star to hack it.

$ cd linux-0.11
$ make help // get help
$ make // compile
$ make start // boot it on qemu
$ make debug // debug it via qemu & gdb, you’d start gdb to connect it.
$ make tags // create the tag file from the source code
$ make cscope // create the cscope index database from the source code

NOTE!

there is a calltree in tools/, which can help you to analyze the source code
via printing the calling tree of some indicated functions.

compile
$ cd tools/calltree-2.3
install
$ sudo cp ./calltree/OBJ/i686-linux-cc/calltree /usr/bin
use
$ calltree // just type calltree and get the help

  1. debug

start the kernel with qemu, which will listening on port 1234

$ cd linux-0.11
$ make debug

open a new terminal, start gdb and connect the gdbstub in qemu

$ gdb linux-0.11/tools/system
(gdb) break main
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
(gdb) s // si:assembly instruction, s|n: c statement(s will enter into subfunc)
(gdb) …
