OS development using the Linux kernel - Custom Memory Allocator (Part 6)

This video shows you how to start developing your own OS using Linux for your kernel. Not the same as "Linux from scratch", this focuses on developing your own, at the low level of course!

This is the sixth video in the series which will cover creating a custom memory allocator using brk and mmap. In a previous video we covered how memory is actually allocated onto the heap, but in this one we will create a more complex heap allocator implementation, I hope you enjoy and please comment with any questions you have.
