The Toaru kernel is unportable, not safe for SMP, and derived mostly from outdated tutorials.

The New World kernel project seeks to replace the current toaru kernel with new, in-house, portable, modern, SMP-capable, and most importantly, toaru-compatible kernel.

Like with the development of Yutani, the New World kernel will focus on learning from the mistakes made implementing the original kernel.

### Goals

1. **Be portable.** The old-world kernel isn't portable at all. Focus on X86_64 and ARM as targets.
2. **SMP safety.** Run simultaneously on multiple CPU cores, safely.
3. **Compatibility.** The new-world kernel will try to be POSIX-compliant, but will focus on supporting the existing Toaru userspace.

### Non-Goals

1. Source compatibility with modules and existing kernel: There is no need to support the existing modules, they will be ported.
2. Binary compatible with existing toaru binaries: We already broke this sufficiently with the move to Yutani. Source compatibility is preferred, though, and should only matter for a few things these days (particularly `shmem` and `pex`). Being compatible with the existing newlib glue is also not necessary - and in fact, would not work out well for some syscalls.
