Inquiry About Contributing to "Emulating Missing Linux Syscalls (350h)" Project

Hello NetBSD Developers,

My name is Adnane Mandili, and I’m a beginner in kernel development, but
I’m very excited to contribute to NetBSD. I’m particularly interested in
the project to *add missing Linux syscalls* in the compat_linux layer.

I have some experience with *C programming and shell scripting*, and I’ve
been learning about how NetBSD emulates Linux system calls. I’d love to
help by:

   -

   Testing Linux programs on NetBSD to find which syscalls are missing.
   -

   Learning how to trace syscalls (using tools like strace or ktrace).
   -

   Helping implement simple syscalls with guidance from the community.

Since I’m still new, I’d appreciate any advice on:

   1.

   Where to start (e.g., easy syscalls to implement first).
   2.

   How to test changes properly.
   3.

   Any documentation or examples I should study.

Could you let me know if this project is open for beginners like me? I’m
eager to learn and contribute in any way I can.

Thank you for your time and for making NetBSD!

Best,
Adnane Mandili
