Augustin Cavalier c125a32508 kernel/vm: Adjust kernel permissions check in vm_area_for. Areas in the kernel address space generally won't have B_KERNEL_AREA. Instead we should check if the area in question has user permissions at all. If it doesn't, then return an error. If the address space isn't the kernel one, then we don't bother with this check, as all areas in the user address space should be returned even if they don't have permissions or are a "kernel" area.		2025-01-13 14:52:38 -05:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
