Kerla is an experimental operating system kernel written in Rust with a Linux-compatible syscall interface. It aims to run Linux binaries in user space without relying on a traditional Linux kernel. Kerla combines the safety guarantees of Rust with a familiar POSIX-like programming model, making it a unique exploration into safe systems programming. Though early in development, it supports basic userspace execution and is a promising proof-of-concept for running Linux userland programs in a fully Rust-based kernel.
Features
- Rust-written kernel for memory safety and modern design
- Linux-compatible syscall interface for user programs
- Capable of running statically linked Linux ELF binaries
- x86_64 architecture support with basic multitasking
- In-memory ext2 filesystem with file I/O support
- Virtual memory management and paging system
- Basic console output via VGA text mode
- Minimal bootloader and kernel image for bare-metal testing
- Focused on research and education in OS development
