This masters thesis deals with updating the Linux emulation layer (so called Linuxulator). The task was to update the layer to match the functionality of Linux 2.6. As a reference implementation, the Linux 2.6.16 kernel was chosen. The concept is loosely based on the NetBSD implementation. Most of the work was done in the summer of 2006 as a part of the Google Summer of Code students program. The focus was on bringing the NPTL (new posix thread library) support into the emulation layer, including TLS (thread local storage), futexes (fast user space mutexes), PID mangling, and some other minor things. Many small problems were identified and fixed in the process. My work was integrated into the main FreeBSD source repository and will be shipped in the upcoming 7.0R release. We, the emulation development team, are working toward making the Linux 2.6 emulation the default emulation layer in FreeBSD.
