Using seL4_DebugSnapshot()
by rasd＠riseup.net 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Can someone provide more information about using seL4_DebugSnapshot? >From its description in documentation, I would expect it to print out a CapDL struct over a debugging port/console. Instead, it waits for user commands for various data types sends back binary data[0]. Since the commands are all 0xa0-0xff[1], it doesn't seem like DebugSnapshot expects a human and a keyboard to be present on the other end. Is there some internal debugging tool that is supposed to be used with this system call? Is DebugSnapshot still used? Any advice or information is appreciated. ras [0] https://github.com/seL4/seL4/blob/master/src/arch/arm/32/machine/capdl.c [1] https://github.com/seL4/seL4/blob/master/include/machine/capdl.h

答复: some question about the compile of global-components in camkes_arm_vm project
by yadong.li 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I found some example in odroid_vm, I want to make sure my understanding is correct? In CMakeLists.txt DeclareCAmkESComponent(HelloWorld) is just tell me there is a component called “HelloWorld” If you want this component to be compiled to project You must add call in your assembly in .cmakes file like below: assembly { composition { component HelloWorld hello; } Thank you very much 发件人: yadong.li 发送时间: 2019年12月28日 15:32 收件人: 'devel(a)sel4.systems' 主题: some question about the compile of global-components in camkes_arm_vm project hi， I have some question about the compile of global-components in camkes_arm_vm project. 1、In projects/global-components/components, there are some directory include FileServer, SerialServer, TimeServer and the others. I found FileServer had been compiled to project， but the other directory have not been compiled Is there some on-off switch control the compile ？ But I did not find it. 2、The CAmkES of FileServer component did not have a "int run(void) {}, If I want to add an new component with run entry， but it is not rootserver（I think one project only have one rootserver），it run with vm rootserver parallelly？ what should I do ？ Is there some example.

Error while building in docker
by Edward Sandberg 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

This morning I saw this error when building sel4: /bin/sh: 1: PROTOBUF_PROTOC_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND: not found I noticed a warning when starting the docker container about trustworthysystems/camkes:latest being over 30 days old. I thought that using an up to date pull of: https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles.git would keep the build env up to date but that apparently is either not the case or there is a problem with the repo. I ran: docker pull trustworthysystems/camkes and the warning was resolved and I could build seL4. Is pulling that docker image supposed to be necessary? Thanks! -- Edward Sandberg Adventium Labs 111 3rd Avenue S. Suite #100 Minneapolis, MN 55401 ed.sandberg(a)adventiumlabs.com

Understand seL4 x86_64 Kernel ABI calling convention
by Alexandre Mutel 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Hello! While looking at the code base and checking generated code, I'm not sure about the pertinence of having a different ABI from user System V ABI for kernel calls, as it is implying a bit more unnecessary register shuffling, and I was wondering why this choice was made to have r10, r8, r9, r15? instead of keeping System V ABI and just replace rcx by r10 as it is discarded by syscall: SystemVABI_x86_64_user: rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8, r9 SystemVABI_x86_64_Linux_kernel: rdi, rsi, rdx, r10, r8, r9 SystemVABI_x86_64_seL4: rdi, rsi, r10, r8, r9, r15 So on a Linux Kernel, only the register rcx will be transferred to r10 (when transitioning from user to syscall), but in seL4, it has to reshuffle arguments rdx to r9. (Note for context: I'm working on a project where I don't use a standard C compiler to interface with the seL4 Kernel API, and where the register allocator of the compiler might not be as efficient as GCC/CLang after everything is inlined, that's why I'm looking into these details)

Camkes Project on Sabre Lite i.mx6 board
by Parvaneh Ahgajani 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hello all, I am trying to have my own seL4 demo on Sabre Lite board. I am using this command to create the image file: ../init-build.sh -DPLATFORM=sabre -DCROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX=arm-linux-gnueabi- -DCAMKES_APP=adder After that I run this commands to boot the image: fatload mmc 1 0x41000000 adder(image file) The bootm command gives this error: Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image! I tried bootelf but it stuck and does not show the correct answer: bootelf 0x41000000 CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [10598000, 105980a4] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [10599000, 105a3434] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [105a3434, 105a3c23] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [107fc000, 1080a038] ## Starting application at 0x10598000 ...

Blog on seL4 licensing
by Heiser, Gernot (Data61, Kensington NSW) 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

The question of what the seL4 license actually means, in particular, to which degree it may force deployer’s IP to be open-sourced (*), has come up repeatedly, and from informal discussions I realised that misconceptions abound. I tried to clear up such confusion in a blog that I just posted: https://microkerneldude.wordpress.com/2019/12/09/what-does-sel4s-license-im… Enjoy, Gernot (*) short answer: normally not at all!

Userspace debugging with QEMU/gdb
by Jiusheng Liu 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

Hi, >From the page https://docs.sel4.systems/DebuggingGuide.html (section Userspace debugging), I know we can debug userspace process by command below: ---------------------------- cmd example start ---------------------------------------- gdb ./dynamic-2 Reading symbols from ./dynamic-2...done. (gdb) target remote :1234 Remote debugging using :1234 0x000000000000fff0 in ?? () (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x402011: file sel4-tutorials-manifest/dynamic-2/main.c, line 161. (gdb) c Continuing. Breakpoint 1, main () at sel4-tutorials-manifest/dynamic-2/main.c:161 161 (gdb) ---------------------------- cmd example end ---------------------------------------- It works for normal userspace process (such as the example code in tutorials: https://docs.sel4.systems/Tutorials/dynamic-2.html ). But when I want to debug the userspace process for the code in the tutorials page https://docs.sel4.systems/Tutorials/camkes-vm-linux.html (one virtual machine in seL4), I cannot catch the breakpoints. So can you help me to explain why I cannot catch the breakpoint? and can we debug the vmm create process with qemu/gdb? Thanks.
