Capabilities of binary images
by Norrathep Rattanavipanon 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi, I need to access the user image from a user application for verifying that the binary is installed correctly. So I found in bootinfo.h that it contains userImageFrames and its supposed to be the one I'm looking for but it gave me an error when I map the frames via vspace_map_pages(vspace, info->userImageFrames.start, ...) at the root task. The error is : ERROR:sel4utils_map_page_pd:223: Error mapping pages, bailing: 2 What am I doing wrong here?

Get real time clock data (and timer) from I.MX6
by Norrathep Rattanavipanon 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hi, I was wondering if there's any real time clock implementation for I.MX6 in sel4. And if there isnt any, what would be the best way to use a timer in sel4 (since I saw many implementations of those)? through sel4platsupport_get_default_timer?

ARM Hypervisor extensions in master
by Adrian Danis 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

The ARM hypervisor extensions are now supported in the master seL4 kernel. This support has existed on a public development branch (arm_hyp) for some time, but this marks the beginning of proper support and a verification target. What is done: * Hypervisor extensions supported on odroid-xu and Jetson TK1 platforms * SystemMMU supported on Jetson TK1 platform Limitations: * Currently any usage of hyp extensions or SystemMMU is *not* verified * SystemMMU contains work around currently for the VMM to map in large amounts of memory (fix for this relies on a kernel change currently being verified) You can use the manifest https://github.com/seL4proj/camkes-arm-vm-manifest to get the project https://github.com/seL4proj/camkes-arm-vm and then use one of the two default configs for the TK1 and odroid-xu platforms.

camkes-VM with QEMU and virutal PCI device
by Samuel Weiser 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi again, I'm playing around with camkes-vm in QEMU+KVM. I want to add a virtual PCI device to Linux, which is running as vm0 on top of seL4. However, I got stuck with some errors during system boot. My setup is as follows: QEMU is configured to share a 1MB memory region between the host and the QEMU guest (seL4). Here's what QEMU sets up: (qemu): info mtree ... 00000000fe000000-00000000fe0fffff (prio 1, RW): ivshmem-bar2-container 00000000fe000000-00000000fe0fffff (prio 0, RW): ivshmem.bar2 00000000febf1000-00000000febf10ff (prio 1, RW): ivshmem-mmio ... (qemu): info pci ... Bus 0, device 4, function 0: RAM controller: PCI device 1af4:1110 IRQ 11. BAR0: 32 bit memory at 0xfebf1000 [0xfebf10ff]. BAR2: 64 bit prefetchable memory at 0xfe000000 [0xfe0fffff]. id "" ... I adapted a previously working configuration (optiplex9020.camkes) accordingly with what I thought should be correct. Especially, I added vm0_config.pci_devices_iospace and vm0_config.pci_devices as well as the PCI irq. Here's the configuration: configuration { VM_CONFIGURATION_DEF() VM_PER_VM_CONFIG_DEF(0, 2) vm0.simple_untyped24_pool = 12; vm0.heap_size = 0; vm0.guest_ram_mb = 1536; vm0.kernel_cmdline = VM_GUEST_CMDLINE; vm0.kernel_image = C162_KERNEL_IMAGE; vm0.kernel_relocs = C162_KERNEL_IMAGE; vm0.initrd_image = C162_ROOTFS; vm0.iospace_domain = 0x00; vm0_config.ram = [ [ 0x20800000, 23 ], [ 0x21000000, 24 ], [ 0x22000000, 25 ], [ 0x24000000, 26], [ 0x28000000, 27], [0x30000000, 28], [0x40000000, 29] , [0x60000000, 30], [0xa0000000, 28]]; vm0_config.ioports = [ {"start":0x2f8, "end":0x2ff, "pci_device":0, "name":"COM2 Serial Port"}, {"start":0x2e8, "end":0x2ef, "pci_device":0, "name":"COM4 Serial Port"} ]; vm0_config.irqs = [ {"name":"Serial", "source":3, "level_trig":0, "active_low":0, "dest":3}, {"name":"PCI", "source":11, "level_trig":1, "active_low":1, "dest":11} ]; vm0_config.pci_devices_iospace = 1; vm0_config.pci_devices = [ {"name":"PCI", "bus":0, "dev":0x04, "fun":0, "irq":"PCI", "memory":[ {"paddr":0xfe000000, "size":0x100000, "page_bits":12}, ], }, ]; } However, after creating the MMIO frames and doing some other stuff, the boot process fails, as shown below. The error also occurs if I change or completely remove just the "memory" definition of my PCI device. I also tried different values for "iospace_domain" (QEMU should use 0 as default PCI domain).

Autocorres Error.
by Dan DaCosta 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

seL4 Developers: I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place for this email. I am experimenting with Autocorres as an intern at Rockwell Collin's Advanced Technology Center in Minnesota. My latest experiment is in building a small verified library for manipulation and analysis of adjacency lists. My initial work towards this end generated the following error: exception CTERM raised (line 948 of "~/development/rockwellcollins/verification/l4v/tools/autocorres/utils.ML"): autocorres: Internal var uu_::"int" is exposed. Please notify the AutoCorres maintainers of this failure. In the meantime, use "autocorres [keep_going]" to ignore the failure. I am using the latest version of Autocorres and Isabelle. The c and theory file that generated this error can be found here: https://github.com/chaosape/autocorresexperiments/tree/master/graph Thanks! Dan DaCosta

Resolving issue using camkes-vm with qemu
by Samuel Weiser 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, I just want to share some information which I needed to run camkes-vm with qemu, especially addressing one issue which prevented the guest vm to boot. I basically follow the recommendations of Adrian in [1] and only focus on the simple case without vt-d. 1. use the 'optiplex9020_onevm' configuration as it basically just specifies physical RAM. 2. enable nested KVM [2,3] 3. run QEMU with enough RAM: qemu-system-i386 -nographic \ -m 3GB \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host \ -kernel images/kernel-ia32-pc99 -initrd images/capdl-loader-experimental-image-ia32-pc99 Following the above steps gives you a booting camkes vmm, however it fails to eventually activate Intel vt-x, needed to run the guest vm. The reason for that is that the seL4 kernel requires the IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL MSR to have VMXON enabled (bit 2) and locked (bit 0) (i.e. a value of 5). Normally, it's the job of the BIOS to do so, however I couldn't find an appropriate QEMU BIOS ROM which does so. The quick workaround is to enable VMXON within the seL4 kernel itself. The corresponding diff is attached. With this minor change, the recompiled kernel works like a charm. PS: One could consider making a separate option in Kconfig for that purpose. Best, Sammey [1] https://sel4.systems/pipermail/devel/2016-March/000717.html [2] http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=275 [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Enabling_KVM

Rust application support
by Kent.Mcleod＠data61.csiro.au 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Using rust (https://www.rust-lang.org) in user applications on top of seL4 with existing C libaries and apps now has limited support. See here for more information: https://wiki.sel4.systems/Rust What you can do: + Build system support for using a rust cargo project as a library or app on seL4 + Use most core libraries (core, alloc, collections, rustc_unicode, and a limited std) + Use rust dependencies from crates.io on seL4 + Use rust to implement camkes components + Using rust's FFI support it is possible to call rust from C and C from rust. Two sample apps are located here: https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/rust-camkes-samples Instructions for building and running are on the wiki page. Has been tested on x86 i386 and arm kzm both in qemu and hardware. Caveats: + Rust's libstd functionality is limited by which muslc syscalls are supported on seL4. + Rust's libstd requires muslc thread local storage support which is not currently available on seL4. We currently use a muslc branch called rust that uses a global TLS struct. Kent McLeod Kernel engineer / Thesis Student DATA61 | CSIRO

WIll seL4 support any Unikernel
by XilongPei 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Hi, According to wikipedia.org, Unikernels are specialised, single address space machine images constructed by using library operating systems. A developer selects, from a modular stack, the minimal set of libraries which correspond to the OS constructs required for their application to run. These libraries are then compiled with the application and configuration code to build sealed, fixed-purpose images (unikernels) which run directly on a hypervisor or hardware without an intervening OS such as Linux or Windows. Will seL4 support any unikernel, such as Drawbridge or MirageOS, in the future? Xilong Pei Tongji University Shanghai, China 2016/6/13

Beaglebone black/CAmkES issue
by Julien Delange 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

I am using the second serial interface of the beaglebone black. According to the source code (in libsel4platsupport/plat_include/am335x/sel4platsupport/plat/hw/soc_AM335x.h), the address is 0x48022000). The following line is found in the source #define SOC_UART_1_REGS (0x48022000) So, in CAmkES, I configure the hardware component that represents the serial hardware component with the following attributes: drv.mem_attributes = "0x48022000:0x1000"; The application compiles fine. However, when launching the image on the target, I have the following issue. Any idea about how to solve this? Does anybody successfully used UART1 on the beaglebone black? Or have any idea/suggestion to investigate? Thanks. Julien.

This commit… https://github.com/seL4/seL4/commit/c5b6a6a58aae75129cdf5a83f861bdacddbf51d6 … is pleasing. As is the RT API. Passive servers! A seemingly viable and sensible approach to user-space scheduling! Just a quick thumbs up for recent progress. :-)
