Old description:
> Title says it all.
> There are a couple of different names for the same technology (see
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Industry_naming_conventions).
> Which one should Haiku use? I'd vote for the simple x64, just as
> Microsoft and Sun. The name Linux and Mac OS X uses, x86_64 look a little
> clumsy/technical IMO.
New description:
Port Haiku to the x86-64 architecture. Tasks:
- Add cross-compilation support for Haiku/x86-64 to gcc 4.
- Add ELF64 support to boot loader and kernel.
- Extend the x86 boot loader to be able to start an x86-64 kernel.
- Port the kernel itself, i.e. write the x86-64 specific kernel code
(CPU, VM, etc.).
- Port fundamental kernel modules to 64 bit/x86-64.
- Port libroot.so and runtime loader to x86-64.
- Port other userland libraries and applications to x86-64.
