magnetite_os/kern

The heart of the magnetite_os project - an attempt to write the kernel in pure Rust.

(interactive - up one level: magnetite_os/)

Writing a kernel without using glue code in C or assembly is next to impossible, as there are platform-specific routines that are either too cumbersome to implement in high-level code, or are outright impossible (such as interrupt handlers and certain parts of paging routines).

Testing

TODO

Consult magnetite_os/README.md for more information regarding test builds and live inspection runs.

Rationale

TODO (probably explained in the preamble above…)

Key concepts & terminology

TODO (certain aspects of the preamble should be clearer at this point)
