Hello,
It has been really great summer so far and I have managed to complete the
targets set for the first evaluation, below is a short summary on the work
that I have done prior to the evaluation period.
- Added ATF regression tests to check whether the address sanitizer is
working in the userland.
- Wrote example kernel modules to
- Add a node to the sysctl tree
- Make a /dev module Multiprocessor Safe(MPSAFE)
- Print out the data, text, heap and kernel map constants.
- Read the 1998 dissertation on UVM by Dr. Chuck Cranor and made notes
on it
- Familiarized myself with UVM code
- Added a kernel option and built the kernel against KASan with Dummy
functions.
Here is the blog post regarding the same :

I would like to thank my mentor, Kamil Rytarowski who was always ready to
dive deep into code and help whenever required. I also want to thank Cherry
Mathews for helping clear up doubts related to UVM.
