I agree such a document would be helpful. However, there's a talk[0] from three years ago. I would imagine the architecture has changed since then. 0. https:/

  This was the best I found: https://docs.managarm.org/handbook/sys-arch/thoreir/index.html https://docs.managarm.org/handbook/sys-arch/thoreir/index.ht... So as I suspected, posix-subsystem is a single process that provides the POSIX support for all other process, so it's a single point of failure: https://docs.managarm.org/handbook/sys-arch/posix/index.html https://docs.managarm.org/handbook/sys-arch/posix/index.html It's interesting that they have some kind of subsystem to run code in kernel space too, very against typical microkernel thinking for isolation/safety reasons.

    from the documentation, it is not clear to me what shape the posix subsystem has. It might be a library. thor seems to be an actual "bottleneck".
