I've got a lot of the wine support kernel module written now. Its system call latency seems to be down at near half that of Win2000 for mutexes, though there's no guarantee that my benchmark programs produce meaningful numbers.
I've also got PE Image mapping done (with pages fixed up on demand and marked as discardable). So if anything, Wine might want to steal that if the module as a whole is not used. This bit requires virtually no changes to the kernel itself, just half a dozen or so extra symbols to be exported.
The module image size stands currently at about 30K.
Status: PART STATE ====================================== ========================== General object infrastructure done HANDLE infrastructure mostly done Waiting calls partly done Exception handling not done Win32 error handling not done, uses UNIX errno UNICODE handling ignored, all ASCII Security handling ignored
Mutex objects done Semaphore objects done Event objects done File objects (synchronous access) mostly done File objects (asynchronous access) not done Shared memory objects mostly done Process objects slightly done Thread objects slightly done Registry objects not done NT Port objects not done NT Token objects not done W2K Job objects not done Net Communications not done
userspace access library up to date strace mostly up to date
Cheers, David
