xsave region size for haswell/broadwell?
by Corey Richardson 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Does anyone have a "maximal" xsave region size big enough for all the xsave-supporting features seL4 enables on Broadwell or Haswell? I don't have access to a machine with these features, so I can't run a program to get them with cpuid. -- cmr http://octayn.net/ +16038524272

questions about the address translation for a DMA driver in the ARM VM
by PX 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hi, all Happy new year! I have some urgent questions about address translation for a DMA driver in the ARM seL4-based VM. Your quick response is highly appreciated! 1. In the ARM sel4-based VM, the MMIO of a device is directly exposed to the device driver in the VM. When the DMA device driver allocates a DMA buffer to a device controller, the device driver can directly tell the real controller the IPA of the buffer starting address, instead of the real physical address. In other words, the device controller can only get the IPA of the buffer starting address. How can this device controller perform DMA without knowing the real PA of the buffer? Does seL4 perform some emulation here? How? 2. A closely related question to 1: when we develop a DMA driver in the VMM space, we put the real physical address of the device descriptor and real physical address of the DMA buffer in the controller registers through its MMIO. We found that the controller cannot find the correct place for the descriptor and the buffer. Do the seL4 hypervisor perform the address translation? If so, which source code does that? Thanks Peng

Hi, I am currently on a BeagleBone running Ubuntu 14.04 using gcc-arm-none-eabi. However I am getting the following error running 'make' after 'make menuconfig'. I am wondering if someone can guide me in the right direction [libs/libsel4] building... [GEN] include/sel4/types_gen.h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ubuntu/seL4test/libs/libsel4/tools/bitfield_gen.py", line 26, in <module> from six.moves import range ImportError: No module named six.moves make[1]: *** [include/sel4/types_gen.h] Error 1 make: *** [libsel4] Error 2 Thank you, Hector Daniel Romero hdromero93(a)gmail.com

Exposing TSD on x86
by Corey Richardson 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

How do people feel about exposing the TSD (time-stamp disable) bit as a piece of state on the TCB? Ideally it'd be lazily switched. I vaguely want this in Robigalia for disabling access to real time in non-sufficiently-privileged processes. Best, -- cmr http://octayn.net/ +16038524272

ARM bootloaders that matter
by Jeff Waugh 14 Dec '16

Hi all, Out of interest, are there any ARM targets the seL4 development team / community care about that do not boot via u-boot or UEFI (whatever the implementation, be it u-boot, vendor-supplied, etc)? Thanks, Jeff

seL4 on Zinq7000 on QEMU
