-<h2>System call tracing</h2>
-
-<p>In this exercise you will modify the xv6 kernel to print out a line
-for each system call invocation. It is enough to print the name of the
-system call and the return value; you don't need to print the system
-call arguments.
-
-<p>
-When you're done, you should see output like this when booting
-xv6:
-
-<pre>
-...
-fork -> 2
-exec -> 0
-open -> 3
-close -> 0
-$write -> 1
- write -> 1
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-That's init forking and execing sh, sh making sure only two file descriptors are
-open, and sh writing the $ prompt. (Note: the output of the shell and the
-system call trace are intermixed, because the shell uses the write syscall to
-print its output.)
-
-<p> Hint: modify the syscall() function in kernel/syscall.c.
-
-<p>Run the programs you wrote in the previous exercises and inspect
- the system call trace. Are there many system calls? Which systems
- calls correspond to code in the applications you wrote above?
-
-<p>Optional: print the system call arguments.

<h2>Optional: modify the shell</h2>
There are endless ways in which the shell could be extended. Here are
