Hi All,
I have been searching over the internet on how I will be able to add
kernel call to MINIX 3, but i can not find anything.
Any help on how to add a kernel call, or where I can find some
documentations. I have the 3rd version of his book but it does not
mention anything about that.
Thanks

the full source code for minix is in the book -at the back. look at the
code for all the 50+ system call and you will probably figure that 1
call cant be simply added. from what i see, calls seems to be
inter-related in implementation.
e.g fork related to wait, exec etc.
there no simple way of addidng a call unless you know how it will affect
others and you can change the source for them.

Hi,
trying the same
have a look at these files n folders
include/minix/syslib.h
lib/syslib/
kernel/system.c
kernel/system.h
kernel/proto.h
kernel/system
include/minix/com.h

this paper looks like a good place to start:
