Driver laboratory classes on university

[Matthias Brugger]

I did a operating system laboratory class at BarcelonaTech.
It consists in adding basic functionality to an existing OS (it was
based on Linux 2.4). This included adding system call table, process
scheduling and semaphore support (as far as I remember).

As a second part we had to implement a kernel module which these days
was able to count several system calls before executing them.
I have the source code, you can find it on my blog (see below) but I'm
not sure if I have the instructions for the assignments...

Cheers,
Matthias
