by Michal Podhradsky

Hello, I have a question about standard output. I have a camkes component than can write into text-mode VGA buffer (basically it follows this simple example http://wiki.osdev.org/Bare_Bones#Writing_a_kernel_in_C ) but I would like to be able to redirect the kernel messages during startup to be printed on screen using VGA buffer. Once another component (either Linux in a VM, or some other camkes app) will initialize, it will be able to take control over the screen output (and for example show login window etc). My questions is - is this possible with seL4? And if so, what would it entail? I guess in the minimal version, I would have to provide a different implementation of seL4_DebugPutChar, is that correct? The VGA standard seems to define the buffer to be at 0xB8000, so it should be consistent between x86 platforms. Regards Michal

Can I run Android on camkes-arm-vm with tk1 board?

by li94575

Hi, Now, Linux4.3 kernel can work well on camkes-arm-vm, does that mean we can run an Android system based on this kernel? I have tried to replace the roofs with an Android ramdisk, but Linux can not excute the Init program. The error is showing below: [ 10.598871] Freeing unused kernel memory: 4168K (c0a74000 - c0e86000) [ 10.761443] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 [ 10.761443] [ 10.770568] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Tainted: G W 4.3.0-rc5-00024-gec4c02c-dirty #122 [ 10.779510] Hardware name: NVIDIA Tegra SoC (Flattened Device Tree) [ 10.785795] [<c00167ec>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c0012958>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [ 10.793537] [<c0012958>] (show_stack) from [<c008f054>] (panic+0x94/0x220) [ 10.800407] [<c008f054>] (panic) from [<c0025b9c>] (do_exit+0x7fc/0x8f4) [ 10.807101] [<c0025b9c>] (do_exit) from [<c0025d70>] (do_group_exit+0x3c/0xf0) [ 10.814318] [<c0025d70>] (do_group_exit) from [<c002f3ec>] (get_signal+0x1a4/0x754) [ 10.821971] [<c002f3ec>] (get_signal) from [<c001a748>] (do_signal+0x84/0x61c) [ 10.829188] [<c001a748>] (do_signal) from [<c0012604>] (do_work_pending+0xa4/0xb4) [ 10.836750] [<c0012604>] (do_work_pending) from [<c000f6b4>] (slow_work_pending+0xc/0x20) [ 10.844919] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 Is this a problem that current VMM does not support FPU? or other reasons caused the problem？

network on seL4

by Gábor Székely

Hi, I would like to use network (TCP) on seL4, I know that I should probably be using lwip, however I have no idea how to properly initialize it (this is the first time I'm working in such a hardware close environment), so I need some help or some kind of example, but I don't know where to look. I'm working on ia32. I also tried to run the rumprun hello world, the compillation finishes, however I get the following output when I try to run it: https://pastebin.com/MiMB0N62 Regards, Gábor Székely

rump kernel test, compilation issues

Recursive call to malloc crash system

by Fabrizio Bertocci

Hi all, I have a system configured to use dynamic heap through the vspace. I'm working with 5.2.0 and using pc99 simulator through qemu. Everything is occurring in the root task, as I haven't even completed my bootstrapping code. In this configuration, whenever my code calls malloc() and there is a low memory condition (where there is not enough space on the heap to fulfill my request), malloc() end up calling __expand_heap(). Here it first attempts to expand the heap through brk syscall, then if fails uses mmap() to attempt to get more pages from the virtual memory. In both cases (brk and mmap) end up calling a function in the vspace that attempts to make available new pages. Unfortunately the code in the libself4utils/src/vspace/vspace.c, end up calling malloc() for the sel4utils_res structure. As you expect, we are already in a no-memory condition, so a subsequent call to malloc() might end up calling __expand_heap() and so on... (depending on the bytes left on the heap, this nested malloc might succeed if the initial block was larger than the size of sel4utils_res structure). So, everything loops until the whole system crash because of stack overflow. Why vspace uses malloc() to dynamically allocate those structures, causing the whole system to fail? To test, I have changed the implementation in vspace.c to use a static buffer pool, and it seems it solve my issue, but am I doing something wrong in the bootstrap code ? Any help is appreciated, Regards, Fabrizio Bertocci Real-Time Innovations, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA

Sydney `taste of seL4' miniconference/developer day

by Peter.Chubb＠data61.csiro.au

Hi Folks, Next January 22--26, linux.conf.au will be in Sydney, Australia. We're planning on submitting a proposal for a one-day miniconference to be held in conjunction with the main conference. We'd like to line up potential speakers now, before submitting. If you are doing something cool and open source with seL4, and would like to speak at that miniconference, please let me know. linux.conf.au is one of the best grass-roots open-source and Linux conferences around; if you're doing anything cool that's open source with seL4 (or with Linux), then I'd encourage you to submit a proposal to the main conference as well, at https://linux.conf.au/ Peter Chubb -- Dr Peter Chubb Tel: +61 2 9490 5852 http://ts.data61.csiro.au/ Trustworthy Systems Group Data61 (formerly NICTA)

Question on endpoint cap write permission

by Jimmy Brush

Hello, in the 6.0 manual section 3.1.4 the table shows that Write permission on an endpoint cap permits sending to the endpoint. however, in section 4.2.2 it says without the Write permission on the RECEIVING endpoint cap, any cap sent over IPC gets diminished. Am I missing something? It seems the Write permission is overloaded to mean two different things. This would seem to imply that to receive an undiminished capability via IPC you must have both send and receive permission to the endpoint you are receiving against. Which would mean if you wanted to limit someone to only receiving and never sending against an endpoint by giving them an endpoint cap with only Read permission, they would necessarily also NEVER be able to receive an undiminished capability. Thanks, JB

L4Re IPC share memory that share file in one Linux filesystem and be visible to other Linuxes

by Joyce Peng(彭美僑)

Hi L4, I want to share a file in one Linux filesystem and be visible to other Linuxes that all run on top Fiasco.OC. It seems an IPC communication between L4re vm tasks. And access a file in Linux filesystem is a mechanism with kernel block device driver. But I only notice two char device drivers that use L4re library l4shmc in L4linux. It is l4ser_shm and l4shmnet. May you give some information about this work how to work. Thanks. Joyce Peng(彭美僑)
