Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] minios: replace mktime implementation

[Nigel Gamble <nigel@xxxxxxx>]

You should also take a look at minios/arch/x86/x86_64.S.  It is  
remarkably similar to linux/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S.  Some  
comments, macros names etc. are identical.  It's obvious that both  
files share a common ancestor, at least.
I used minios as a starting point to port a proprietary OS from a  
proprietary CPU to x86_64 on Xen at my last job, and we became  
concerned about whether this file was contaminated with GPL code.
