Welcome to FoolOS
=================
Abstract
--------
Welcome to the Home of the most useless operating system.
Quick-start
-----------
Simply boot from the FoolOS.iso in your favourite emulator or
_dd_ to an USB stick and test on real hardware.
Features
--------
* Booting with Multiboot (grub)
* 32-bit protected mode
* VESA and EGA-standard text-mode
* Logging to COM1
* Parsing ACPI and Multiboot Data (partly)
* Symmetrical Multiprocessing with LAPIC and IOAPIC
* APIC and PIT Timers
* Seperate GDT and IVT on each CPU
* Paging / Virtual Memory
* RAM image (ext2 read-only)
* VESA Framebuffer with fallback to a text-only terminal
* Standard streams (stdin/stdout/stderr)
* Mouse and Keyboard
* Multithreading & Multitasking
* Kernel and Userspace Tasks (ring 0/ring 3)
* CPU Private Memory
* Superfast Task Scheduler
* Newlib C library for Userspace
* ELF binaries
* IRQ Handling Framework
* Spinlocks
* Simple Shell
* PCI bus scanning
_Please note that most features are only very rudimentary and mostly buggy._
Multiboot
---------
The FoolOS Kernel is following the Multiboot Specification (0.6.96)
providing a multiboot header and the entry point _start().
This in turn calls the C function kernel_main().
Prequisites
-----------
GCC CROSS-COMPILER (i686-elf)

* bochs 2.6.8 (compiled with: ./configure --enable-clgd54xx --enable-a20-pin --enable-debugger --enable-disasm --enable-e1000 --with-x --with-x11 --with-term --enable-smp) (add -lpthread to LIBS in the Makefile!)
* qemu 1.1.2
* virtual box 4.1.18
* Acer Aspire 1810TZ (Notebook)
* Q6600 on Asus p5n32-e sli plus (Desktop PC)
* 4790K on Asus (Desktop PC)
Todos
-----
* Unit Testing
* Mouse & KB processing in seperate task.
* Kernel Stuff Reentrancy & Newlib Reeentrancy Struct
* Ethernet driver E1000 / NS2000 & Networking stack (ipxe network drivers?)
* Porting (ncurses, gcc, binutils, vim, apache...)
* Posix getdents
* GCC optimizations (break kernel?)
* Writing to ext2 RAM-image
* Mutexes
* Flush TLB
* GUI / Window Manager (update\_rect, etc..)
Disclaimer
----------
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
This is a simple and useless "operating system", with a very basic set
of features. It is the fruit of my fundamental explorations of the x86
architecture and operating system design.
