Please have a look at OS 161 from Harward.

I did a operating system laboratory class at BarcelonaTech.
It consists in adding basic functionality to an existing OS (it was
based on Linux 2.4). This included adding system call table, process
scheduling and semaphore support (as far as I remember).

As a second part we had to implement a kernel module which these days
was able to count several system calls before executing them.
I have the source code, you can find it on my blog (see below) but I'm
not sure if I have the instructions for the assignments...

Cheers,
Matthias

One way to look for bugs is go through the list in bugzilla. link
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/
That may not be the best place to find bugs suitable for a university
class.  Quite often, a bug is opened in bugzilla only because it's
a particularly hard one that even the guy who originally wrote the
code involved hasn't been able to figure out in several days of trying.

If it's in the bugzilla, it's probably relating to a problem with
specific hardware/BIOS levels, or it's a *very* subtle bug involving
race/locking conditions or lifetime/refcount issues or similar problems.
