sel4webserver build problem
by Michael Neises 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Hello, I'm trying to learn from the "sel4webserver" app here: https://docs.sel4.systems/projects/sel4webserver/. I believe I've been able to configure my network the way described on that page, but I'm failing to build because I'm missing the docsite dependencies here: https://github.com/seL4/docs/blob/master/tools/Dockerfile I build all my camkes apps using docker's `make user` with these files here: https://github.com/seL4/seL4-CAmkES-L4v-dockerfiles.git I'm sure there's a way to have a docker container with these camkes dependencies as well as the docsite dependencies, but I'm not an expert with docker. Does anyone have any tips on how to make all these things play nice together? Cheers, Michael Neises

Steal This Drone: High Assurance Cyber Military Systems
by William ML Leslie 02 Sep '21

Looks like the HACMS talk from Collins Aerospace at DEFCON is up. This covers the system they built to fly aircraft on seL4, and especially the tools they used to do so. It's pretty light on technical content, but still quite impressive. https://youtu.be/X9rsv4YIShY -- William Leslie Q: What is your boss's password?

Port to a cartesi-machine (riscv:rv64ima)
by marcelo.politzer＠cartesi.io 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi, I'm in the process of porting seL4 to a cartesi-machine, which is basically a riscv:rv64ima without PMP (at least for now). after increasing the available memory 4G and a tweak in the elfloader to accept the flattened device tree from OpenSBI I got the kernel to start[1], but with errors. Tried to boot a hello world and the sel4tests, both give pretty much the same result. I have a suspicion that the unsupported PMP may have something to do with this but since I'm still pretty new to seL4 so I would like advice on how to debug this further. Best, Marcelo [1] ``` OpenSBI v0.9 ____ _____ ____ _____ / __ \ / ____| _ \_ _| | | | |_ __ ___ _ __ | (___ | |_) || | | | | | '_ \ / _ \ '_ \ \___ \| _ < | | | |__| | |_) | __/ | | |____) | |_) || |_ \____/| .__/ \___|_| |_|_____/|____/_____| | | |_| Platform Name : Cartesi Platform Features : mfdeleg Platform HART Count : 1 Platform IPI Device : aclint-mswi Platform Timer Device : aclint-mtimer Platform Console Device : htif Platform HSM Device : --- Platform SysReset Device : htif Firmware Base : 0x80000000 Firmware Size : 260 KB Runtime SBI Version : 0.3 Domain0 Name : root Domain0 Boot HART : 0 Domain0 HARTs : 0* Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000002080000-0x00000000020bffff (I) Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000002000000-0x000000000207ffff (I) Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008007ffff () Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff (R,W,X) Domain0 Next Address : 0x0000000080200000 Domain0 Next Arg1 : 0x000000017fff0000 Domain0 Next Mode : S-mode Domain0 SysReset : yes Boot HART ID : 0 Boot HART Domain : root Boot HART ISA : rv64imasu Boot HART Features : scounteren,mcounteren,time Boot HART PMP Count : 0 Boot HART PMP Granularity : 0 Boot HART PMP Address Bits: 0 Boot HART MHPM Count : 0 Boot HART MIDELEG : 0x0000000000000222 Boot HART MEDELEG : 0x000000000000b109 ELF-loader started on (HART 0) (NODES 1) paddr=[80200000..806e5037] Loaded DTB from 17fff0000. paddr=[84025000..84025fff] ELF-loading image 'kernel' to 84000000 paddr=[84000000..84024fff] vaddr=[ffffffff84000000..ffffffff84024fff] virt_entry=ffffffff84000000 ELF-loading image 'sel4test-driver' to 84026000 paddr=[84026000..8445bfff] vaddr=[10000..445fff] virt_entry=1eef8 Enabling MMU and paging Jumping to kernel-image entry point...

Compiling rumprun's libc as a shared object
by Ellis 26 Aug '21

Hello, Recently I have been trying to use sel4 rumprun on another build system after compiling but I've noticed that rumprun or musl libc only produce static libraries. How would I compile libc as a shared object? Sincerely, Ellis

@Gernot yes that's exactly what I meant when I saw the suggested project here: https://docs.sel4.systems/SuggestedProjects.html. is there anything left from the student project that I could continue working on? best, christian

DeclareCAmkESComponent questions
by Grant Jurgensen 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hi, I have a couple questions about the `DeclareCAmkESComponent` CMake function. First, is there a way to add a dependency to a CAmkES component? Normally I would use the CMake function `add_dependencies`, but this requires a target name, and I don't believe that the `DeclareCAmkESComponent` function exposes any such target name. If the function deliberately obscures the target name, perhaps a `DEPENDENCIES` argument could be added to the function? Second, does the `INCLUDES` argument to `DeclareCAmkESComponent` ignore / filter out certain include paths? My compilation was failing because it could not find the proper headers packaged with my compiler. Even if I added the path explicitly by passing it to the `INCLUDES` argument, it was seemingly ignored. It wasn't until I copied the headers to a new directory, and explicitly passed that directory to `INCLUDES` that my compilation succeeded. Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks! Grant Jurgensen

Uses and description for seL4_CNode_Mutate?
by Mark Jones 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

This isn't a big issue, but I'm curious about how seL4_CNode_Mutate is intended to be used, and have found that the description in the seL4 reference manual doesn't seem to match the implementation. Is it for changing rights? The manual (Section 3.1.2) says: "seL4_CNode_Mutate() can move a capability similarly to seL4_CNode_Move() and also reduce its rights..." Section 3.1.4 also refers to the possibility to specify a new set of rights with an invocation of seL4_CNode_Mutate(). However, the summary of seL4_CNode_Mutate in Section 10.3.1.6 does not include a parameter that specifies any rights information, so it appears that it cannot actually be used in this way. Is it for changing badges? In Section 4.2.1, the manual says that "An endpoint capability with a zero badge ... can be badged with the seL4_CNode_Mutate() or seL4_CNode_Mint() invocations" There is a similar statement for Notifications in Section 5.1. But a comment in the (Haskell version of the) spec says "endpoint capabilities may not have their badges changed" when they are updated by a Mutate or Rotate operation. And the kernel seems to follow this: I added a test to sel4test to confirm that you get an illegal operation error if you try to badge an endpoint using Mutate. (Assuming I wrote the test correctly ...) Unless there are other arch-specific use cases, it looks like the only thing you can do with Mutate is to change the guard of a CNode capability. Even then, that is only possible if you are moving the capability at the same time. Of course, you could combine a mutate with a regular move to simulate an in-place update ... but you could also use an in-place mutate and a separate move to simulate the current behavior, without having to find an empty slot if you just wanted the in-place operation. One conclusion is that the manual's description of Mutate probably needs an update. But if nobody else has tripped over problems using it to create badged endpoints, then perhaps Mutate just isn't being used very much at all and could be removed altogether? A second thought is whether Mutate could be modified to perform an in-place update if the source and destination are the same (i.e., similar in some ways to how you specify a swap with Rotate)? Best wishes, Mark

bingup the new platform not in Linux repository

about portint doc：(https://docs.sel4.systems/projects/sel4/porting) “You may need to add device nodes depending on what Linux uses and what is required by seL4. For example, in the port of the Rockpro64 a memory node and an extra timer node were needed so these had to be defined manually.” how can I get the required by seL4? have any doc about it?

smp camkes
by David Lorentz 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi, I've been trying to extend one of the tutorial / example projects to run on more than one core with no success. After reading the camkes manual https://docs.sel4.systems/projects/camkes/manual.html#thread-cpu-affinity I assumed that you need to set core affinities for different components in your camkes file and set the KernelMaxNumNodes to a number greater than one. I tried this with the adder sample (as below) with no luck. Can anyone point me to some information on how to get smp to work, what hardware is supported and the like? configuration { adder.affinity = 1; client.affinity = 0; } Thanks David
