Hello NetBSD Developers, My name is Adnane Mandili, and I’m a beginner in kernel development, but I’m very excited to contribute to NetBSD. I’m particularly interested in the project to *add missing Linux syscalls* in the compat_linux layer.
I have some experience with *C programming and shell scripting*, and I’ve been learning about how NetBSD emulates Linux system calls. I’d love to help by: - Testing Linux programs on NetBSD to find which syscalls are missing. - Learning how to trace syscalls (using tools like strace or ktrace). - Helping implement simple syscalls with guidance from the community. Since I’m still new, I’d appreciate any advice on: 1. Where to start (e.g., easy syscalls to implement first). 2. How to test changes properly. 3. Any documentation or examples I should study. Could you let me know if this project is open for beginners like me? I’m eager to learn and contribute in any way I can. Thank you for your time and for making NetBSD! Best, Adnane Mandili
