    For fun, I decided to take a look at a random syscall: fork.

    * https://github.com/yuan-xy/Linux-0.11/blob/master/kernel/for...

    * https://github.com/Poseidon-fan/linux-0.11-rs/blob/420152fdf...

    The Rust is slightly shorter, though it also isn't organized in exactly the same way.

    Maybe I got lucky, but I would expect that it's more of what other people said: this repository includes far more than the kernel.
