Subject: [9fans] amd64 support in p9p?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 0a677882-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi all,
is there anybody interested in helping to port the
plan9 from user space to amd64/x86_64?
The most platform dependend code seems to be the libthread
stuff. On OpenBSD-amd64 I can borrow an assembler version of
rfork_thread from the OpenBSD librthread and can improvise
the _tas function. The get/setmcontext pose a problem because
I do not know if struct ucontext must really be exactly the same
as struct sigcontext.

Best regards,

Matthias
