In this exercise you will modify the xv6 kernel to print out a line -for each system call invocation. It is enough to print the name of the -system call and the return value; you don't need to print the system -call arguments. - -

-That's init forking and execing sh, sh making sure only two file descriptors are -open, and sh writing the $ prompt. (Note: the output of the shell and the -system call trace are intermixed, because the shell uses the write syscall to -print its output.) - -
Hint: modify the syscall() function in kernel/syscall.c. - -
Run the programs you wrote in the previous exercises and inspect - the system call trace. Are there many system calls? Which systems - calls correspond to code in the applications you wrote above? - -
Optional: print the system call arguments. -
