How to use sel4runtime
by Ortiz, Baltazar 10 Aug '19

10 Aug '19

Hi all, Another (less exclusively RISC-V related, though I am targeting RISC-V still) question - I've been trying to figure out the sel4runtime repo, but I'm a bit confused on how to set it up. Specifically: * How much of a "minimal seL4 environment" do I need to initialize first? * Do does my program with main() also need to specify a root task, or is that part of the minimal environment? * Is there a specific recommended location for the sel4runtime repo? Thanks! Baltazar ________________________________ Notice: This email and any attachments may contain proprietary (Draper non-public) and/or export-controlled information of Draper.

SeL4 on 32 bit RISC-V
by Ortiz, Baltazar 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hi all, I'm looking into getting seL4 booting on 32 bit RISC-V. Currently working with seL4test 10.1.1, QEMU 4.0.0, and an upstream copy of riscv-gnu-toolchain (is there a specific release I should try?). I'm able to get seL4 to build after deleting a few CONST labels that the compiler was complaining about, but when I try to run the simulation script, I get the following output: > ./simulate -b /home/baltazar/qemu/build/riscv32-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv32 > /home/baltazar/qemu/build/riscv32-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv32 -machine spike_v1.10 -nographic -s -serial mon:stdio -m size=2000M -kernel images/sel4test-driver-image-riscv-spike > bbl loader > /host/sel4test-upstream-riscv/tools/riscv-pk/machine/minit.c:74: assertion failed: !(read_csr(misa) & fd_mask) > Power off Are there any tricks for getting this working right now?

CAmkES Tutorial Generation Issues

Hello, I am able to generate, build, and execute the majority of tutorials using init, ninja, qemu, etc. within sel4-tutorials-manifest.

Autocorres tutorial for Isabelle/HOL beginner
by Norrathep Rattanavipanon 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello, I have been trying to study how seL4's C code is formally verified. So I looked into Autocorres tool and had a bit of hard time understanding how to use the tool to generate Isabelle definitions from C code. I tried to follow Autocorres' quickstart but I was confused since I do not know much about Isabelle/HOL. I simply ran ``make AutoCorresTest" in l4v/tools/autocorres folder and it gave me this output: ``` Session Pure/Pure Session FOL/FOL Session HOL/HOL (main) Session HOL/HOL-Eisbach Session HOL/HOL-Library (main timing) Session HOL/HOL-Computational_Algebra (main timing) Session HOL/HOL-Algebra (main timing) Session HOL/HOL-Number_Theory (main timing) Session HOL/HOL-Statespace Session HOL/HOL-Word (main timing) Session Lib/Word_Lib (lib) Session Lib/Lib (lib) Session C-Parser/Simpl-VCG Session C-Parser/CParser Session Lib/CLib (lib) Session Unsorted/AutoCorres Session Unsorted/AutoCorresTest Building AutoCorresTest ...

Finished AutoCorresTest (0:02:33 elapsed time, 0:08:14 cpu time, factor 3.23) ``` But I couldnt find any Isabelle definitions as output except "thy" files that contain: ``` theory somefile imports "AutoCorres.AutoCorres" begin external_file "somefile.c" install_C_file "somefile.c" autocorres "somefile.c" end ``` I suppose I need to invoke this file somehow using Isabelle in order to generate the definition but I'm not sure how to do that. Any help would be very appreciated. Best Regards, Norrathep -- Norrathep (Oak) Rattanavipanon M.S. in Computer Science University of California - Irvine

sel4 on the Xilinx Zynq US+ ZCU104 Evaluation Kit
by derek65 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi, I'm interested in running sel4 on a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC evaluation board. I read the great blog post about the port from DornerWorks [1] and checked the sel4 hardware support page here [2]. Since the Zynq ZCU102 Evaluation Kit listed is quite expensive, I wanted to ask if anyone tried the procedure described in the blog post on the much cheaper Xilinx US+ ZCU104 Evaluation Kit. Might this work as well? Thanks! Kind regards, - derek [1] - https://dornerworks.com/blog/hardware-security-growing-concern-sel4-ecosyst… [2] - https://docs.sel4.systems/Hardware/

CamkES support for waiting on multiple signals
by yogidk . 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello , I would like to know if the CamkES has support for wait on multiple signal events ? I need to wait for 3 different events (say write, read and timer), I need to wait until one of these events occur. As soon as I get an event, I need to call a common function. I cannot use emitter/consumer signal events concept of CamKES here as it allows only one to one connection and not many to one connection. So in other words a single consumer_wait() for 3 different emitter events is not possible in CamkES. Any suggestions how can this be achieved using CamkES? Regards yk

Re: [seL4] Understanding Camkes Dataport Interface Access Rights
by Amit Goyal 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

Hi Kent, Thank you for your detailed reply. I agree that write only accesses are stored as read write mappings and reading on a write only access dataport does not give any error. I am still not very clear about the following: a) As suggested by you, I looked through the generated spec in .cdl file. I did not find the expected configuration of the dataport. Please find attached my .cdl file along with the template file. I cannot find dataport "delta" in that. Can you please help me to figure out the same. b) As far as I understood the .cdl configuration is setup by the camkes/kernel and corresponding page table mapping entries are made for each component. Later, whenever a component is scheduled by the kernel, MMU hardware will check whether it has the read or write access, based on the page table entries provided by the kernel. Please correct me if I have misunderstood it. My query is that in seL4 for communicating using endpoints a thread mints endpoint capabilities into other threads cspace and gives it the required access. I am not very clear with why the similar mechanism was not used here. I mean why a thread does not mint a frame's capability into other thread cspace with the required access. I am referring to section 7.4 of seL4 manual (http://sel4.systems/Info/Docs/seL4-manual-10.1.1.pdf) i) I feel if that would have been used, then we could take better advantage of the seL4 capability based access control guarantees and lift it to camkes. This way frame capability bits in frame capability could have been used to store/check the access rights. This way checks might have been software based rather than hardware based. ii) In case we are minting the frame in the similar way as mentioned above, can you point me towards that piece of code. iii) I hope minting is actually being used in Event connection and RPC connection. -- Thanks and Regards, Amit Goyal > On 2019-07-03 07:24, Mcleod, Kent (Data61, Kensington NSW) wrote: >> Camkes dataports on seL4 (seL4SharedData connector) are implemented as a >> shared memory mapping between the two components both pages are mapped to >> the >> same underlying frame of physical memory.

Understanding Camkes Dataport Interface Access Rights
by Amit Goyal 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Hi All, I was looking at hello-camkes-2 tutorial. I understand the concept of dataports and the access rights given on dataport interfaces. I changed the configuration in hello-camkes-2.camkes.template file by adding echo.d = "R"; client.d = "W";. I did some changes in the client.c.template file to read on the dataport interface d by trying to access its contents through str/n/d pointers. Although, it only has write access on "d" in the new configuration. This leads to the fault handler being called when I simulate the build. I was just curious to find out where are such checks being done at the backend in camkes/seL4. I could find the code of fault handler in component.template.c but I could not find anywhere the code which checks that the client only has write access on dataport d and thus calling the fault handler. Can someone point me towards that piece of code or explain what is exactly happening at the backend in camkes/seL4? -- Thanks and Regards, Amit Goyal
