Hi everyone,

I'm final year computer science undergraduate student. I want to do my major project based on linux kernel.

Would you please suggest me some areas in the kernel which have some projects. To be more specific, I want know on going research areas in kernel. Or some ideas which are not yet implemented.

as someone on this list once suggested, saying you want to work on the linux kernel and want someone to suggest a subsystem is like saying you want to write a book and could someone suggest a topic for you to write about.

if you haven't even progressed to the point where you know what part of the kernel interests you, you shouldn't be asking for projects. it's not everyone else's responsibility to do your research for you.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I'ld like attend your session but right now I'm in India. So, couldn't manage everything so early to attend linuxCon Europe. Apart from this thing, I'ld like to work on lguest to port it on x86_64 architecture. May you please tell me why it is not been ported yet for x86_64 architecture and can we discuss it further and start work on its porting.

Would you be interested in taking a look at lguest? [1]

I will be having a presentation about lguest and how one learn linux kernel internals by studying lguest code this week at LinuxCon Europe [2]

Porting it on x86_64 or any other architecture will be a very cool project but I warn you it won't be trivial :).

thanks, Daniel.

I agree and accept that it won't be trivial task and I'm ready for that. Even if it has only 1% chance for its successful completion, I'ld go for it. The reason it's making me interested is the kind of learning I'm going to get in the whole process. I'ld be needing your support.

It is not yet ported because lack of time and experience with x86_64 arch specifics in my case :).

Also, note that this is not a trivial task :), but I think it worths the effort.

See here the discussion with people who worked on porting it to x86_64.

Reference [1] claims, "Those crazy guys at Red Hat have an experimental port of lguest to x86-64: you can grab their git tree." so why do you say porting to x86_64 wouldn't be trivial?

First of all because the linux kernel changed a lot since then. Second, because I think their code wasn't upstream ready. Daniel.
