The Project:
============
Linux Unified Kernel is a project (linux.insigma.com.cn) in the 
Insigma Research Institute, which is a subdivision of Insigma 
Co., Ltd (www.insigma.com.cn).  


Sponsored by:
=============
  Insigma Co., Ltd (www.insigma.com.cn).


The Package:
============
o This package implements the Windows Process/Thread creating, including 
  Windows system calls like NtCreateProcess() and NtCreateThread(). With 
  this version of Linux Unified Kernel, certain specific Windows 
  applications can run directly on Linux.


To Build and Run:
=================
1. To get the unified kernel support, first cd to the top-level 
  directory of the kernel source code(linux-2.6.13). Then run 
  the following command to patch the kernel:

  patch -p1 < path/patch-file

  where "path" is the path of the patch file and "patch-file" 
  is the patch file name (In this package, it is 
  unifiedkernel-0.2.0-k2.6.13.diff in the directory "kernel").

  After patching, configure the kernel like:
  
  make menuconfig
  
  * Say Y to the "Unified kernel support" option in "General 
  setup".
  * Say N to the "Use register arguments" option in "Processor 
  type and features". 
  * Say N to the "Module versioning support" option in "Loadable 
  module support".
  Then save, exit and compile the kernel. Run the following 
  command to compile the kernel and reboot:

  make
  make modules_install
  make install
  reboot

2. To get the Wine support, first cd to the top-level directory of 
  the Wine source code(wine-0.9.11). Then run the following command 
  to patch it:

  patch -p1 < path/patch-file

  where "path" is the path of the patch file and "patch-file" 
  is the patch file name (In this package, it is 
  unifiedkernel-0.2.0-w0.9.11.diff in the directory "wine").

  Then install Wine like what its README says:
  
  ./configure
  make depend
  make
  make install

3. To build the unifiedkernel module, cd to the "module" 
  directory, then run the command:
  
  make
  
  After building the module, you can run the following command 
  to install it:  

  insmod unifiedkernel.ko

  Now, you can run the test program to demonstrate.


4. To build and run the test programs:
  All the test programs listed in the file "test-program" can 
  be run directly.

  You can also build the createprocess-test.exe on Microsoft VC 
  with the provided souce code files and run it on the Linux 
  Unified Kernel.


Note:
=====
1. If you have patched the last release of Unifiedkernel, you 
  need to unpatch the kernel first. To unpatch the kernel, cd 
  to the top-level directory of the patched kernel, run the 
  following command:

  	patch -Rp1 < path/patch-file

  where "path" is the path of the patch file and "patch-file" 
  is the patch file name. Then compile the kernel and reboot. 

2. This package provides some Windows native applications, you can
  also copy them from the Windows operating environment.

3. The kernel configuration is very important for compiling the 
  kernel and running applications, so make sure that this work 
  is done correctly as what is said above. 

4. If you want to use Wine after installing this release of Linux 
  Unified Kernel, please unpatch Wine and rebuild it.
  

To Do in Future:
================
o Various system call functions on the Windows syscall interface.
o The Windows process/thread management.
o The Windows object management.
o The Windows APC mechanism.
o The WDM device driver framework.
o The Windows DPC mechanism.
o Exported kernel functions defined by Windows DDK.
o The Windows Registry mechanism.
o Others.
