Help with Isabelle/AutoCorres
by Burkhart Wolff 18 May '18

18 May '18

Dear all, I stumbled into some problems with AutoCorres and would be grateful if someone could help me. I used the recent version autocorres1.4 under Isabelle2017. A) Running under MacOS, cpp is apparently not running inside install_C_file (yes, I installed the cpp wrapper: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> !/bin/bash # Wrapper for clang C preprocessor on MacOS export L4CPP="-DTARGET=ARM -DTARGET_ARM -DPLATFORM=Sabre -DPLATFORM_Sabre" llvm-gcc -Wno-invalid-pp-token -E -x c $@ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and made sure that it is in the path of the shell in which I started Isabelle.) Does anyone know a cause for this behaviour or a feasible workaround ? (besides doing the expansions by hand) Is there an explicit Isabelle shell variable where the path to cpp must be set ? B) I get a weird crash of AutoCorres without a clue what might cause it: I have a T4.h file with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> #define N_TEETH ( 100 * MODULO ) // shaft encoder's number of teeth per turn #define SIZE_OF_SPEED_FIFO 10 // number of samples to compute average speed extern const char *InputField[]; enum State { S1=1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, SFail=0 }; enum Status { FAIL, SUCCESS }; enum InputPatterns { Ph1 = 1, Ph2 = 5, Ph3 = 4, Ph4 = 6, Ph5 = 2, Ph6 = 3 }; struct OBits { int C1 ; int C2 ; int C3 ; } Obits; /********* Output data *****************/ extern enum Status O_Position_Valid; extern unsigned int O_Position_Count; extern unsigned int Relative_Position; extern int Instantaneous_Speed; extern int Mean_Speed; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and a T4.c file with: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> #include "T4_AlgoODO.h" enum Status O_P_V = SUCCESS; unsigned int O_P_C = 0; unsigned int Relative_Position = 0; int I_Speed = 0; int Mean_Speed = 0; int Acceleration = 0; int scale = 1000; int PI_approx = 3141; struct OBits Input; enum State OState; const unsigned int Radius = 500; const unsigned int Sampling_Rate = 400; unsigned int F_O_P_C = 0; int Speed_FIFO[10 /*SIZE_OF_SPEED_FIFO*/]; int FIFO_pointer = 0; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Loading this in Isabelle/AutoCorres with: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> install_C_file "code/c/T4.c” <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< results in the following AutoCorres crash: … exception Fail raised (line 175 of "~/codebox/odo_new/odo/autocorres-1.4/c-parser/calculate_state.ML"): translate_inttype: incomplete array! Can anybody tell me what this means and propose a workaround ? Best regards B. Wolff

Untyped Retype destination not empty?
by Richard Clark 18 May '18

18 May '18

Hi! I could use a clue as to the cause of this problem. The program has its free slots start index set correctly. It is trying to allocate a dma buffer. (4k with a known physical address). The vspace has been properly set up and knows the phys addresses of its free memory. This used to work fine in a different process, but I can't find anything I've done different/wrong in this one... I've added some extra printfs, and some debug code (in kernel/src/object/untyped.c). /* Ensure that the destination slots are all empty. */ slots.cnode = CTE_PTR(cap_cnode_cap_get_capCNodePtr(nodeCap)); slots.offset = nodeOffset; slots.length = nodeWindow; for (i = nodeOffset; i < nodeOffset + nodeWindow; i++) { status = ensureEmptySlot(slots.cnode + i); if (status != EXCEPTION_NONE) { userError("Untyped Retype: Slot #%d from %p in destination window non-empty.", (int)i, (void *)slots.cnode); userError("Untyped Retype: At offset #%d length %d.", (int)nodeOffset, (int)nodeWindow); int j = 0; for(j=0;j<2048;j++){ status = ensureEmptySlot(slots.cnode + (i + j)); if (status == EXCEPTION_NONE) { userError("Next Free Slot at #%d from %p.", (int)(i+j), (void *)slots.cnode); status = EXCEPTION_SYSCALL_ERROR; break; } } return status; } } And finally, here is the output from the console: <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeCNodeInvocation/94 T0xffffff8001a25400 "Lockmaproc" @4196e8]: CNode Copy/Mint/Move/Mutate: Destination not empty.>> <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeUntypedInvocation/166 T0xffffff8001a25400 "Lockmaproc" @420f2c]: Untyped Retype: Slot #196 from 0xffffff807f000000 in destination window non-empty.>> <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeUntypedInvocation/167 T0xffffff8001a25400 "Lockmaproc" @420f2c]: Untyped Retype: At offset #196 length 1.>> <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeUntypedInvocation/172 T0xffffff8001a25400 "Lockmaproc" @420f2c]: Next Free Slot at #197 from 0xffffff807f000000.>> _refill_pool@split.c:187 Failed to retype untyped, error 8 vka_alloc_object_at_maybe_dev@object.h:59 Failed to allocate object of size 4096, error 1 dma_alloc@page_dma.c:92 Failed to allocate untyped of size 12 I need a hint... help?

Automatic testing using qemu
by Paolo Crisafulli 18 May '18

18 May '18

Hi there, I have written a seL4 app using CAmkES, that I am continuously building using Jenkins. I'd like to add a test step to this continuous integration process, launching the app with qemu and parsing the output to validate my expectations. The thing is, although all the active ("control") components reach their last instruction after a while, seL4 does not "exit" (which is expected I guess) and qemu does not stop, keeping my continuous integration job running for ever. Any idea on how to achieve this? Thank you very much in advance. Cheers, Paolo Crisafulli

Booting seL4, MMU configuration on armv7a-ve
by Jonas Persson 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Hello, I'm new to seL4 and I'm trying to get seL4 running on an Cortex-A7 with VE extensions (NXP IMX6UL). One of the experiments I wish to do is measure how fast I can get from POR to seL4 doing something meningful. To achive optimal boot speed I have a custom bootloader that does the bare minimum. The boot flow looks like this; 1. POR 2. Init HW 3. Load & verify blobs for trust zone and seL4 4. Jump to TEE init (OP-TEE) 5. Tee init code returns to bootloader with the CPU in HYP mode At this point we're back in the bootloader, there is no MMU, D cache or I cache active 6. Configure MMU 7. Jump to seL4 kernel entry I'm currently struggling with getting the MMU properly setup and I was hoping that someone here might shed some light on what I would need to do. I've looked at the elf-loader and from what I can understand it will setup a basic memory-mapping for the kernel only. Some of the questions that stand out in my head are : 1) How should the hand over work between the BL and seL4 with respect to setting up more mappings, for example IO memory. Should the PGD & PMD tables created by the bootloader be shared with the kernel? 2) What needs to be configured before calling the seL4 entry? Thanks, Jonas

Further use of Device Tree?
by Jeff Waugh 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, Congrats on the RISC-V release! I noticed some Device Tree code snuck in, replacing some hard coded bits in the platform, and is intended to be exposed to the rootserver… Any interest or intention to bring that to the ARM code, and possibly avoid building kernels for specific platforms? Thanks, Jeff

UART1 getchar
by Wei Xiang Leow 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Hello all, I'm new to seL4 and embedded systems, please bear with me. I'm trying to use Sabrelite's UART1 (PS_SERIAL0), while I can make it write data (putchar), I can't make it read (getchar). The code is as follows on sel4 7.0.0, using platsupport/sel4platsupport: ps_io_ops_t io_ops; error = sel4platsupport_new_io_ops(vspace, vka, &io_ops); printf("Initialising io_ops: %d\n",error); ps_chardevice_t serial0; ps_cdev_init(PS_SERIAL0,&io_ops,&serial0) ps_chardevice_t serial1; ps_cdev_init(PS_SERIAL1,&io_ops,&serial1); //CONSOLE int character; while (1) { character = ps_cdev_getchar(&serial0); //printf("%d\n",character); if (character != -1) { ps_cdev_putchar(&serial1,character); printf("%d\n",character); } } This runs fine on QEMU with -serial file/ttyUSB -serial mon:stdio. Next I tried to run this on the Sabrelite board: -Clone the 08-09 uboot from git, according to https://sel4.systems/Info/ Hardware/sabreLite/ -Apply patches 1 and 2 (applying 3 and 4 caused uboot to stall) -Put uboot into SPI flash -Restart, run the sel4 image on the SD card, with UART2 connected to PC's RS232 and displayed by minicom, and UART1 connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 -Have a python script writing 'A's to /dev/ttyUSB0 sel4 loads but fails to read anything from /dev/ttyUSB0, UART1 just receives EOFs (-1s). The rxd seems to always be 0. Swapping the UARTs works, at the cost of losing the console: while (1) { character = ps_cdev_getchar(&serial1); //printf("%d\n",character); if (character != -1) { ps_cdev_putchar(&serial0,character); printf("%d\n",character); } } So UART2 (default console) can read and write, while UART1 can write but not read. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Suggestions much appreciated. Regards, Leow Wei Xiang

Camkes manifest now requires cmake 3.7.2 or higher to be built
by Amit Goyal 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

I was running the following commands to build camkes: 1. repo init -u https://github.ls com/sel4/camkes-manifest.git 2. repo sync 3. make clean 4. make ia32_simple_defconfig; make silentoldconfig 5. make -j4 6. qemu-system-i386 -nographic -m 512 -cpu Haswell -kernel images/kernel-ia32-pc99 -initrd images/capdl-loader-experimental-image-ia32-pc99 Earlier it used to work perfectly fine but now it requires cmake 3.7.2 or higher which can be obviously be done by using pip install. I just wanted to convey this so that the same may be updated on prerequisites page. (https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/sel4-tutorials/blob/master/Prerequisites.md) -- Thanks and Regards, Amit Goyal

New documentation website: https://docs.sel4.systems
by Kent.Mcleod＠data61.csiro.au 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

We are pleased to annouce a new documentation website at <https://docs.sel4.systems>! The documentation site is now using GitHub pages, generated from a GitHub repository <https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/docs> using a popular static site generator, Jekyll. GitHub pages hosted documentation is a standard documentation pattern familiar to many in the open-source community. Content from the previous wiki has been migrated to the new site, while the wiki itself is no longer available. The new documentation format should welcome community contributions, and be easier to maintain for the following reasons: * Contributions are welcome via pull request. * Easier editing through Markdown (GFM), an open document format. * Content styling is now separate from presentation. * The site can be checked out and hosted locally. * Contributions are versioned and reviewed, and tagged at released versions of seL4. We hope that this will lead to the quality of our documentation increasing as it is easier and more accessible to update. Contributions, via pull requests or feature requests on github, are welcome.

seL4 9.0.0 and CAmkES camkes-3.3.0 release
by Kent.Mcleod＠data61.csiro.au 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

See an online copy of the release notes at: <https://docs.sel4.systems/sel4_release/seL4_9.0.0> <https://docs.sel4.systems/camkes_release/CAmkES_3.3.0> # seL4 Version 9.0.0 Release Announcing the release of `seL4 9.0.0` with the following changes: 9.0.0 2018-04-11: BREAKING # Changes * Debugging option on x86 for syscall interface to read/write MSRs (this is an, equally dangerous, alternative to dangerous code injection) * Mitigation for Meltdown (https://meltdownattack.com) on x86-64 implemented. Mitigation is via a form of kernel page table isolation through the use of a Static Kernel Image with Microstate (SKIM) window that is used for trapping to and from the kernel address space. This can be enabled/disabled through the build configuration depending on whether you are running on vulnerable hardware or not. * Mitigation for Spectre (https://spectreattack.com) on x86 against the kernel implemented. Default is software mitigation and is the best performing so users need to do nothing. This does *not* prevent user processes from exploiting each other. * x86 configuration option for performing branch prediction barrier on context switch to prevent Spectre style attacks between user processes using the indirect branch predictor * x86 configuration option for flushing the RSB on context switch to prevent Spectre style attacks between user processes using the RSB * Define extended bootinfo header for the x86 TSC frequency * x86 TSC frequency exported in extended bootinfo header * `archInfo` is no longer a member of the bootinfo struct. Its only use was for TSC frequency on x86, which can now be retrieved through the extended bootinfo * Invocations to set thread priority and maximum control priority (MCP) have changed. - For both invocations, users must now provide a TCB capability `auth` - The requested MCP/priority is checked against the MCP of the `auth` capability. - Previous behavior checked against the invoked TCB, which could be subject to the confused deputy problem. * `seL4_TCB_Configure` no longer takes prio, mcp as an argument. Instead these fields must be set separately with `seL4_TCB_SetPriority` and `seL4_TCB_SetMCPriority`. * `seL4_TCB_SetPriority` and `seL4_TCB_SetMCPriority` now take `seL4_Word` instead of `seL4_Uint8`. - `seL4_MaxPrio` remains at 255. * `seL4_TCB_SetSchedParams` is a new method where MCP and priority can be set in the same sytsem call. * Size of the TCB object is increased for some build configurations # Upgrade notes * `seL4_TCB_Configure` calls that set priority should be changed to explicitly call `seL4_TCB_SetSchedParams` or `SetPriority` * `seL4_TCB_Configure` calls that set MCP should be changed to explicitly call `seL4_TCB_SetSchedParams` or `seL4_TCB_SetMCPriority` --- # Full changelog Refer to the git log in <https://github.com/seL4/seL4> using `git log 8.0.0..9.0.0` # More details See the [9.0.0 manual](http://sel4.systems/Info/Docs/seL4-manual-9.0.0.pdf) included in the release or ask on the mailing list! ---- # CAmkES Version camkes-3.3.0 Release Announcing the release of `camkes-3.3.0` with the following changes: camkes-3.3.0 2018-04-11 Using seL4 version 9.0.0 ## Changes * Hardware dataport with large frame sizes issue has been fixed * Bug fix: Enumerating connections for hierarchical components with custom connection types is now done correctly * Bug fix: Data structure caching is now correctly invalidated between builds * Initial CMake implementation for CAmkES. See the CAmkES test apps for examples. ## Upgrade notes * No special upgrade requirements. ## Known issues * Hierarchical components that export dataport connectors create compilation errors as the templates cannot accurately tell that the connector of the parent component is exported from the child and no code should be generated. A temporary workaround involves making the dataport connection explicitly available to the parent component. --- # Full changelog Use `git log camkes-3.2.0..camkes-3.3.0` in <https://github.com/seL4/camkes-tool> # More details See the [documentation](https://github.com/seL4/camkes-tool/blob/camkes-3.3.0/docs/i… or ask on the mailing list!

Status of cmake support?
by Bruce Mitchener 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

Hello! I've been looking at doing some builds with cmake and ninja experimentally again. Is anyone else doing this? I noticed that some bugs are being filed about warnings from clang, but I was only able to get some of the cmake + ninja stuff working when I used gcc. How are people using clang? So far, I haven't gotten a working build with cmake of sel4-tests. Is there a good way to trouble shoot this or should I post more detailed info in a thread on this list? Thanks, - Bruce

Haskell and language support
by jonas.cl＠protonmail.com 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi, Does anyone know when the Haskell support will be released in public? In the Language support section of https://wiki.sel4.systems/Suggested%20projects is says that it will be released in the near future, but the page was last edited on June 2016. I propose that the language section also contains links to where the source can be found. I am also writing since I am working on porting the sel4-tutorial to Idris, which could be added to the list of languages, with a link to https://github.com/mokshasoft/sel4-idris-manifest There is a long way to go before it is finished, but if people want to help I accept patches. /Jonas Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted email.

OPENSSL for seL4
by Daniel Wang 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hi all, Anyone has openssl working for seL4? I compiled a version of openssl it links correctly but as soon as the code calls BIO_new_mem_buf() the system crashed with: FAULT HANDLER: data fault from vm.control (ID 0x03) on address 0xffffffb4 ,pc = 0xe259c, fsr = 0x3800006 If openssl is not available for now I wonder has anyone used other crypto library before, such as wolfssl, bearssl, etc.? Best Regards -Daniel Wang

Booting BIN abort after elfloader
by Daniel Wang 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi all, With help from Dr. Chubb, I found there is a config to build CAmkES-ARM-VM as binary instead of ELF. However when I boot it on TK1 the process abort after loader code as follow. It is the same result when I convert ELF to BIN. Do you have any suggestion why this is happening (the paddrs and virt_entry are correct). Thank you very much!

Ethernet driver for TK-1
by Michal Podhradsky 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello, I would like to use a similar Ethernet driver component as for x86 platforms here: https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm/tree/master/components/Ethdriver But in the camkes-vm-arm repository I don't see an equivalent component: https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/camkes-arm-vm/tree/master/apps/vm/components Is the ethernet currently just passed to Linux? And if so, what would entail making a new driver etc similar to x86 platforms? Regards Michal

VM and VMM Communication for ARM
by Daniel Wang 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

Hi all, I have a couple questions about VM an VMM communication for CAMKES-ARM-VM. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I found when VMM load Linux device it installs a vgic (install_linux_devices() -> vm_install_vgic()) But how exactly a interrupt caused by VM is distributed from GIC to VGIC (kernel to VMM)? I saw that we can register a virq to the VGIC (vm_virq_new()), but I’m not sure when a interrupt is generated how it is passed to the VGIC. Second, I found that we can install virtual devices to VM (e.g. for Vchan communication). Seems like when Linux tries to access the mapped virtual device, a page_fault will generated. Does it create a interrupt? How does it processed by VMM code exactly? I found post_main() in the generated camkes.c file has 3 threads, case 3 runs the control thread -> run(), case 5 runs vevent interface vevent__run(), and case 7 runs fault hander. Does it triggers vevent? I’m not sure the control flow. Thank you in advance! Best Regards -Daniel Wang

irq_server example? Interrupt handlers?
by Richard Clark 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi all! I have an Ethernet driver underneath an lwip implementation that I've gotten to run threaded tcpip. It happily passes messages back and forth and all around between half a dozen threads over a dozen ports all on localhost. Every once in a while though, it wants to send a packet to the outside world... this of course invokes the Ethernet driver, which rather annoyingly, is polled. I am looking for the proper way to convert my polled Ethernet driver to be interrupt-driven.... however the sel4 interrupt-handling/dispatching seems to escape my grasp and I could use a little help... It would appear that there is a mechanism to register a request to receive a message whenever an interrupt occurs? irq_server.c? Are there some nice simple examples out there? Is there an easier way perhaps? Thanks! Richard H.

Questions about Vchan
by Daniel Wang 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out how to use the Vchan library to setup communication between guest OS and native components. I got couple questions how you can give me some advices. 1. I saw the camkes_vchan_con_t structure in the helloworld components (camkes-arm-vm), but I could not find the implementation for vchan_con_new_connection(), vchan_con_rem_connection(), etc. Are those autogenerated by camkes? If so how it is generated? static camkes_vchan_con_t con = { .connect = &vchan_con_new_connection, .disconnect = &vchan_con_rem_connection, .get_buf = &vchan_con_get_buf, .status = &vchan_con_status, .alert = &vchan_con_ping, .wait = &vevent_wait, .poll = &vevent_poll, .dest_dom_number = 0, .source_dom_number = 50, }; 2. I tried to compile the Vchan support and demo helloworld components for odroid-xu. But the compile shows error due to the VM.h file (camkes-arm-vm/projects/vm/components/VM/src/cmks_vchan_vm.c:23) cannot be found. How can I generate the VM.h file? Thanks a lot!

seL4 developer review of RISC-V privileged ISA spec?
by Kelly Dean 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

The RISC-V privileged ISA is not yet finalized. Have the seL4 developers reviewed the draft [1], in case they might have any recommendations for improvement? For example, just last year a blunder (H-mode) was removed from the draft per a proposal [2] on the mailing list. Finalization is planned for this year. Speak now or forever hold your peace. The first public draft of the memory consistency model [3] was also released just last December. And platform standardization, especially the IOMMU, is in progress.

Questions about Allocman
by Daniel Wang 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi all, I’m trying to understand the code a little bit more. This is kind of a random question. I’m wondering that in a case where we call to allocate a frame using allocman library, where is the physical address of a certain region is stored? In allocman_t there are multiple fields: size_t num_utspace_chunks; struct allocman_utspace_chunk *utspace_chunk; size_t *utspace_chunk_count; struct allocman_utspace_allocation **utspace_chunks; struct allocman_utspace_chunk { size_t size_bits; seL4_Word type; size_t count; }; struct allocman_utspace_allocation { seL4_Word cookie; cspacepath_t slot; }; I didn’t find struct that hold the paddr, also after we create a frame where is that paddr stored? It is stored in slot.capPtr? Also What does the field cookie for? Best Regards -Daniel Wang

Hi all, I’m trying build a PoC system based on the camkes-arm-vm repository. I saw the init process is created using CapDL, but I’m having trouble to find the the CapDL spec file. Could you please point it out for me? Also for the first step, I’m trying to build another app side-by-side with the VMM and guest Linux. I assume I need to modify the CapDL. I’m not exactly the work flow with CapDL can you give me a hint? Thanks. Best Regards -Daniel Wang

Re: [seL4] seL4 VMM Hangs during loading time
by Daniel Wang 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hi Kent and Peter, Thank you so much for your response. I do not know what exactly caused the issue. But I upgraded my toolchain and recompiled the image again and it loaded this time. The GCC version is version 7.2.1 (before it was 4.6). Although I still see the misaligned information like this: CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [90000000, 90000014] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [90001000, 900091c4] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [900091c4, 900098d8] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [900198d8, 900198e0] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [900198e0, 91392ae0] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [91394000, 913a4820] CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [913a4820, 913a8000] Another thing I found is that U-boot for TK1-SOM cannot detect ethernet, but I was able to copy the image into MMC and load from there. There are two things I want to do with the seL4 ARM VMM platform. First, I want to incorporate the secure boot from U-boot to seL4 and then using seL4 to verified signed Linux. Second, I want to build a PoC native application and allow the communication between the native app to communication with App running in Linux. I’m wondering if anyone did those two things before that can give me some advice? I implemented the the second scenario before using L4re with a paravirtualized L4Linux. But I’m exactly sure how to do it with seL4 yet.

Hi all, I’m trying to run seL as a microvisor following the CAMKES-ARM-VM. My development board is TK1-SOM from ColoradoEngineering. I was able to flash the U-boot to to load seL4 HYP mode. However when I try to load the kernel. The system just hangs. I got stuck here any help would be appreciated thank you! I built the capdl-loader-experimental-image-arm-tk1 and can copied it to the TK1 MMC storage, then I followed the wiki to setup env bootm_boot_mode to nonsec. Attachment is the printout: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U-Boot 2018.03-rc3-00090-g3990c9d (Mar 01 2018 - 14:33:40 -0500) TEGRA124 Model: Colorado Engineering TK1-SOM Board: CEI tk1-som DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: sdhci@700b0400: 1, sdhci@700b0600: 0 Loading Environment from MMC...

How to avoid timeout exceptions in non-buggy server code
by Kelly Dean 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

The article “Mixed-criticality support in seL4” at https://lwn.net/Articles/745946/ says seL4's solution to the problem of CPU budget exhaustion while in a non-reentrant shared data-structure server is timeout exceptions. The server might time out by chance, through no fault of its own. A more robust solution is to simply disallow calling any such server that advertises a WCET longer than the client's per-period CPU budget, and when a call is made, have the kernel check whether the client's remaining CPU budget ≥ server's WCET. If it is, then proceed with the call as normal. If it isn't, then verify that the client's per-period CPU budget ≥ server's WCET. If that verification succeeds, then terminate the budget for the client's current period early, and actually enter the server at the beginning of the client's _next_ period. (If the verification fails, then the kernel tells the client that the call is disallowed.) If the server fails to return before exhausting the client's CPU budget, then the server has violated its own WCET, which is a bug. Thus, a non-buggy server will never time out, so timeout exception handlers handle only bugs, not routine system operation. If the server's actual WCET is W, then from the client's point of view, the server's apparent WCET is almost 2W, because the client might make the call with remaining CPU budget X such that X is just barely less than W, in which case the kernel will terminate the client's current budget early (so the client loses X) and enter the server at the beginning of the next period, and the server might then take W to return, making the client wait X+W altogether (plus, of course, the remainder of the period, during which other VMs run). But with seL4's current solution, the server's apparent WCET is even longer than 2W, because the server could run for X, time out, be restarted (taking time R), then run for W, making the client wait X+R+W altogether.

Camkes limitations
by Sam Chenoweth 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi, I like the Camkes (3) tool and believe it is essential for making seL4 accessible for developers. However, I have noticed some unexpected limitations that I believe are either bugs or incomplete features. Issue A: A hierarchical component cannot have a dataport with a custom data type. (However, a non-hierarchical component can have a dataport with a custom data type. Also, a hierarchical component can have a dataport with a built-in data type such as Buf.) Issue B: A dataport provided by a sub-component cannot be exported as a dataport belonging to the hierarchical component that contains it. (However, the export of event notifications from sub-components works just fine.) Attached is the relevant code that demonstrates both issues, which is a contrived example to highlight the issues without other stuff getting in the way. Please note that the code as is compiles just fine, however if you comment and uncomment a few lines of code (as instructed in Duck.camkes, Duckherd.camkes and Duckling.camkes), the issues can be demonstrated (separately) as compile failures. There may be other issues with hierarchical components that I am not yet aware of, as the above issues (unfortunately) have prevented me from experimenting with them further. Could you please acknowledge if these are issues that you are aware of, and if there is likely to be a fix in a future Camkes 4 release? Regards, Dr Samuel Chenoweth Cyber Security Researcher DST Group Note: I would have sent this email from my work email address ( samuel.chenoweth(a)dst.defence.gov.au) however I sent it from my personal address instead because of issues to do with our email gateway.

seL4 in an SGX enclave?
by Corey Richardson 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

This is email is me being kinda lazy. Does anyone know how challenging this would actually be to pull off? I'm interested in looking into it, but can't for a while. I feel like it makes sense to bootload some little stub that sets up seL4 as the only enclave in the system. I don't see any reason to have multiple enclaves when using seL4. But, from this, it should be possible to get a good static root of trust remote attestation on Google Cloud. (And also, can finally implement https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-17/thursday/us-17-Swami-SGX-Remote-Attesta…) -- cmr http://octayn.net/ +16038524272

Hi Kent, I did a fresh *repo init -u https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm-manifest <https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm-manifest> * so I am using the latest default.xml Now I can get a bit further - although still not all the way - here is the full output: https://gist.github.com/podhrmic/bc86178e60fad64ab870ff1fa19992 e3 and then the system as far as I can tell hangs - no serial or VGA output.

Hi! What is this error and how might I go about tracking down the cause? <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeUntypedInvocation/167 T0xe0792100 "csm-threads" @3a98c]: Untyped Retype: Slot #15 in destination window non-empty.>> _refill_pool@split.c:177 Failed to retype untyped, error 8 vka_alloc_object_at_maybe_dev@object.h:59 Failed to allocate object of size 4096, error 1 alloc_and_map@bootstrap.c:103 Failed to allocate bootstrap frame, error: 1 What I've done, is taken over the usual sel4test process and turned it into a little process that starts a few others. This error occurs at near the beginning of the main process, after it has allocated some untyped space for a secondary process, and just started it running. There is tons of memory available everywhere, and I do not understand why this is failing.... clues? Thanks! Richard H.

I choose the centos app: https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm/blob/master/apps/vm/cma34cr_centos.camkes I am using default camkes vm manifest from https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm-manifest.

CamkesVM: EthDriver and Firewall
by Michal Podhradsky 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Hi all, I have some clarifying questions about the Ethernet driver <https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm/tree/master/components/Ethdriver> and the Firewall <https://github.com/seL4/camkes-vm/tree/master/components/Firewall> components. 1. Does the ethernet driver return a raw ethernet frame and the consumer of the data has to strip the MAC header etc or does the driver return only payload (IP, ARP etc data)? 2. has the Firewall component been tested and does it work? (I know it is a part of CMA34_centos_defconfig but I don't have a way to test it right now) Thanks for the info. M

Idris now working on seL4
by jonas.cl＠protonmail.com 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hi, I am interested in both seL4 and Idris (https://www.idris-lang.org/ a dependently typed pure functional language), so I have written an seL4 project that compiles an "hello world" Idris application. My intention is to eventually write the seL4 tutorials using Idris.

RefOS Building and Execution Error
by ALVI Aslam (MORPHO) 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Hello Team, I was currently understanding the RefOS but the current code which is present in GIT is not Buildable at all. But after doing some workaround by myself I was able to build it successfully. While executing it on simulator for Kzm 1. Bootstrapping Kernel all finished successfully 2. Dropped to user Space successfully 3. RefOS initialize done successfully 4. Running RefOS Process Server failed In the step 4 while running the Process server it failed while proc_config_new() Failed to spawn Process for Console_server. So Far as per my debugging while coping and writing the elf Header it get failed while getting the capabilities. Excat error line vspace_internal.h line number 396. I would be a great support if anybody help me to resolve the issue. Thank You in advance Regards Aslam Alvi

OS Engineers Wanted!
by Gernot.Heiser＠data61.csiro.au 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Would you like to get paid for making the world more secure with seL4? I'm in charge of directing OS development for the newly-founded company Hensoldt Cyber. We will develop an integrated, highly-secure hardware-software solution, combined with secure production, aimed at changing the game in securing real-world embedded/cyber-physical systems. Needless to say, there will be close collaboration with the Data61 Trustworthy Systems team. We're now hiring engineers who will help us getting there. Specifically, we're looking for strongly-motivated people with practical experience in OS development, although there is flexibility with the degree of experience. Actual experience with seL4 (or even lesser microkernels ;-) would be awesome. Place of work will be Munich (no remote work possible, sorry). You'll have to be prepared to obtain a German government security clearance (German citizenship is not a requirement for this). Interested? Please send me your CV. Gernot

seL4 as TEE OS in TrustZone
by Daniel (Xiaolong) Wang 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi all, I’m exploring for possible ways to run seL4 as a secure TEE kernel in TrustZone. I found an old discussion thread back in 2016 and corresponding from Gernot: I’m very new to TrustZone technology. I wonder has anyone done that before using seL4? Is there any public available resources for reference? Also on which development board did Data61 run seL4 in the secure world? Thanks -Dan FYI Is it possible to run sel4 as a secure world OS in TrustZone? Has anyone successfully done that before? I believe we have done that in the past (with platforms where we could just ignore the secure/normal split and ran everything in secure mode). There is no reason why it wouldn’t work, it just comes down to initialising the platform correctly. https://sel4.systems/pipermail/devel/2016-March/000750.html <https://sel4.systems/pipermail/devel/2016-March/000750.html> Thanks -Dan

seL4 as a hypervisor running a linux guest and a RToS(or native sel4 applications) on ARM
by Joel Svensson 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hello, I'm trying to form an understanding of what one can do with seL4 and how much work is involved in doing it. I am currently under the impression that seL4 could act as a hypervisor and run a linux guest. But I have not found easily accessible instructions for how to do this (ARM targets are most interesting, the Raspberry Pi preferably as it is cheap and ubiquitously available). Did anyone here set up such a seL4 as hypervisor for linux guest and document the procedure? I would be very thankful for links. If such a setup is doable, can you still run some native seL4 code on the "hypervisor" then? Thank you very much /JS

python-capdl sets incorrect permissions on elf setions
by Joseph Takagi 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi I believe the capdl python tool does not correctly set permissions on data loaded from component ELF files. I am wondering if this is a known issue with a fix or whether I'm best off diving in and attempting to fix it myself. Im running on a 32-bit ARM platform The camkes generated linker scripts result in several ELF sections (including .rodata .text and .bss) being lumped together in a single ELF segment. The permissions on this segment in the ELF segment header are RWE. This can be seen from the example output below. readelf -l foo_group_bin Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file) Entry point 0x107b64 There are 4 program headers, starting at offset 52 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align EXIDX 0x021ad8 0x00111ad8 0x00111ad8 0x00008 0x00008 R 0x4 LOAD 0x010000 0x00100000 0x00100000 0x12178 0xd9000 RWE 0x10000 <-- .bss .text .rodata etc. are here with RWE permissions LOAD 0x030000 0x00200000 0x00200000 0x00000 0x01000 RW 0x10000 GNU_STACK 0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x10 Section to Segment mapping: Segment Sections... 00 .ARM.exidx 01 .text .init .fini .rodata .eh_frame .ARM.exidx .data .init_array .fini_array .jcr __vsyscall .bss guarded 02 ignore_fooregs 03 The individual sections are given more sensible permissions via their respective section headers, as can be seen below: .text has permissions 'AE' for alloc and execute, .rodata has 'A' and .bss has 'AW', etc. readelf -S ./foo_group_bin There are 28 section headers, starting at offset 0x8524c: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 1] .text PROGBITS 00100000 010000 00eb68 00 AX 0 0 4096 <-- .text can't be written [ 2] .init PROGBITS 0010eb68 01eb68 000014 00 AX 0 0 4 [ 3] .fini PROGBITS 0010eb7c 01eb7c 000014 00 AX 0 0 4 [ 4] .rodata PROGBITS 0010f000 01f000 002ad4 00 A 0 0 4096 <-- .rodata is read-only [ 5] .eh_frame PROGBITS 00111ad4 021ad4 000004 00 A 0 0 4 [ 6] .ARM.exidx ARM_EXIDX 00111ad8 021ad8 000008 00 AL 1 0 4 [ 7] .data PROGBITS 00112000 022000 000168 00 WA 0 0 4096 [ 8] .init_array INIT_ARRAY 00112168 022168 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 9] .fini_array FINI_ARRAY 0011216c 02216c 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [10] .jcr PROGBITS 00112170 022170 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [11] __vsyscall PROGBITS 00112174 022174 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [12] .bss NOBITS 00112178 022178 000b08 00 WA 0 0 8 [13] guarded NOBITS 00113000 022178 0c6000 00 WA 0 0 4096 [14] ignore_fooregs NOBITS 00200000 030000 001000 00 WA 0 0 1048576 [15] .debug_info PROGBITS 00000000 022178 027a60 00 0 0 1 [16] .debug_abbrev PROGBITS 00000000 049bd8 00a4d4 00 0 0 1 [17] .debug_loc PROGBITS 00000000 0540ac 0113f1 00 0 0 1 [18] .debug_aranges PROGBITS 00000000 0654a0 000ef8 00 0 0 8 [19] .debug_line PROGBITS 00000000 066398 00c5ff 00 0 0 1 [20] .debug_str PROGBITS 00000000 072997 0060c1 01 MS 0 0 1 [21] .comment PROGBITS 00000000 078a58 000038 01 MS 0 0 1 [22] .ARM.attributes ARM_ATTRIBUTES 00000000 078a90 000039 00 0 0 1 [23] .debug_frame PROGBITS 00000000 078acc 002638 00 0 0 4 [24] .debug_ranges PROGBITS 00000000 07b108 002238 00 0 0 8 [25] .shstrtab STRTAB 00000000 085137 000114 00 0 0 1 [26] .symtab SYMTAB 00000000 07d340 005230 10 27 1269 4 [27] .strtab STRTAB 00000000 082570 002bc7 00 0 0 1 Key to Flags: W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings) I (info), L (link order), G (group), T (TLS), E (exclude), x (unknown) O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific) The ELF.py code from python-capdl applies the segment permissions to the entire segment so disregards the permissions in the ELF section headers. As a result, data which shouldn't be writable or executable are so. I can confirm this through analysis of the capdl output which shows the entire segment being mapped as 64KB pages with RWE permissions set. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Joe Takagi

seL4 8.0.0 and CAmkES camkes-3.2.0 release
by Kent.Mcleod＠data61.csiro.au 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

seL4 8.0.0 and CAmkES camkes-3.2.0 release = seL4 8.0.0 = Note: Meltdown and Spectre patches are not included in this release and will be included in a forthcoming release once they have been verified. Once they are merged they will still be accessible through the master branch of seL4 on github. Release notes: https://wiki.sel4.systems/seL4%208.0.0 CHANGES file in https://github.com/seL4/seL4/tree/8.0.0 = CAmkES camkes-3.2.0 = Release notes: https://wiki.sel4.systems/camkes-3.2.0 CHANGES file in https://github.com/seL4/camkes-tool/tree/camkes-3.2.0 = Miscellaneous updates = == CMake build system == Replacing the current kbuild build system with a new CMake build system is still in progress. The kernel only CMake build is now used by l4v. Initial CMake versions for sel4test, sel4bench and our CAmkES projects are still being developed. We intend to do a release that contains the Kbuild and CMake scripts working side by side, and will then start to remove the Kbuild scripts after that. == Changes to manifests for our projects == Each project that we maintain now has a default.xml and master.xml manifest file. master.xml is used to specify the branch tips of the upstream git repositories that a project uses. default.xml now pins all of the repositories to revisions that last passed our regression tests. For this current release and future releases a release tag will be created on each manifest repo specifying the revision of default.xml that uses the released revisions of all the repositories. The seL4 and camkes-tool repos will still be tagged on each release, and all other repositories will have versioned branches created the same as before. We have only just finished testing this change and the various documentation will be updated over the coming days. == Meltdown and Spectre == As mentioned above, Meltdown and Spectre related patches are not present in this release and will be merged into the kernel once verification is complete. There will likely be a blog post accompanying their release. ?

x86 kernel address space side channels
by Corey Richardson 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

https://lwn.net/Articles/738975/ That's really painful, for Linux ;) I don't think seL4 is really impacted? I'm having a hard time thinking about what sensitive information could be disclosed by probing the kernel window. Maybe which memory regions caps being accessed by other concurrently running threads occupy? You could use that to make a covert channel, if the two threads trying to communicate are running in parallel. It seems really dubious that that could give you anything useful otherwise, and as the literature shows timing side channels are unavoidable on x86. Thought it was interesting and worth sharing! -- cmr http://octayn.net/ +16038524272

I/O and PCIE on TX1
by Jon Lamb 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hi seL4 Dev Team, I'm currently working on (mostly learning at this point) how we could add TX1 platform support for a PCIE network card (Intel 82580), using TK1 and others as a reference. I'm fairly new to working with PCI, but after looking around I think I have a general idea on what I need to do. I would appreciate it very much if someone with more experience could tell me if I'm on the wrong path here: * Using the TX1 TRM, I would populate the missing physical device region definitions in 'tx1/plat/machine/devices.h', and update the 'dev_p_regs[]' struct in 'tx1/plat/machine/hardware.h' * Figure out if I need to build up SMMU support (also a newbie here), I'm having doubts on whether I can bang on physical addresses or not without it * Construct a suitable implementation of 'ps_io_port_ops_t' for handling the I/O routines for libpci * Put together a hello world main program to exercise some of libpci's functionality * Once things are looking good there, move up to libethdrivers and port the needed bits for our Ethernet adapter using existing references (and eventually hooking up to lwip hopefully) At this point, I've been avoiding camkes for the sake of learning how everything works and if anyone can recommend a good starting C project for doing I/O on an ARM platform, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. -- Jon Lamb Software Engineer | *PolySync* 1020 SE 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97214 *c* 888.810.4284 x701 <888.810.4284%C2%A0x713> | *e* jlamb(a)polysync.io | *w* polysync.io <http://www.polysync.io/>

iMX6 dvfs registers
by Zippy Maniac 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Hi, Sorry for pestering (again). I am trying to access the DVFS registers from a seL4 component and they seem to be read only. I can read/write them from UBoot and the kernel. So my guess is the registers require privilege even though I have yet to find a definitive statement to this effect in the ARM / NXP documentation. So the question is. Is it possible to give a component the necessary access rights to the DVFS registers via camkes? Or is there some other sort of workaround I could employ to gain access? Cheers, Zippy

Questions concerning the capability management system
by Timotej Tomandl 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi, while reading about seL4 I have found a presentation "The seL4 capability system" by Matthew P. Grosvenor (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/resea rch/security/ctsrd/cheri/workshops/pdfs/20160423-sel4-capabilities.pdf), sadly I was able to track down only the slides, not the talk itself. It mentions the "Aurora project", the constraint solver running in static memory + stack space, concerning itself with the capability allocation. There are these questions which popped into my mind: 1. Is the source code of the Aurora project available anywhere? Is there any more information than the presentation available? 2. Is the constraint solver still necessary with the current version of the API? 3. If it is still necessary, then - what is the necessary strength of the constraint solver? - is a design, in which either the root process or the microkernel itself has to include such a constraint solver in static memory + stack space necessary for a microkernel with the guarantees of seL4 or is it a side-effect of the design decisions? Regards, Timotej Tomandl

Questions about Tx1 Physical Memory usage
by Muneeswaran Rajendran 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi all, I’m trying to understand the implementation details and physical memory usage of seL4 for Tx1 we have available physical memory in Tx1 is 6GB. DRAM (4GB) - available address range 8000_0000 - FFFF_FFFF DRAM2 (4GB to 6GB) - available address range - 1_0000_0000 - 2_7FFF_FFFF In the hardware.h file (/kernel/include/plat/tx1/plat/machine/hardware.h),the avail_p_regs[] ={.start = 0x80000000, .end = 0xa7f00000 } '1MiB starting from 0xa7f00000 is reserved by the elfloader for monitor mode hooks'.I understand from the code its required only for Tk1. (/projects/tools/elfloader-tool/src/plat/tk1/monitor.S). As per my understanding is not not applicable for Tx1 so we can use contiguous region of physical ram 2GB to 4GB. Also it's allow to use higher physical memory for seL4 kernel ie > 4GB ? Thanks in advance. Regards, Munees

seL4 bring up on inmate cell of jailhouse.
by Muneeswaran Rajendran 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi, I would like to bring up seL4 on inmate cell of Tx1. The jailhouse is running successfully on Tx1 board. I have created root cell and not root cell configuration on jailhouse. I able to load seL4 image successfully on inmate cell then during execution its stuck in the while extracting the program header. I checked with jailhouse forum they suggested some one might have ported seL4 or L4 kernel on jailhouse.also informed that seL4 kernel need to rebuild with some patches. Somehow I do not find the patches for seL4 or Fiasco.OC kernel to bring up on jailhouse.Please share links if you any. Also experimented by changing the PHY_ADDR higher then 2G (0x80000000) configuration ie(0x90000000 to 0xF0000000) and (0x100000000 to 0x170000000) while booting from the u-boot I observed KERNEL DATA abort after boot strapping the kernel. It means that this address cannot accessible in the seL4 kernel. Case 1: 0x90000000 to 0xF0000000 sample logs: ------------------- Bootstrapping kernel KERNEL DATA ABORT! Faulting instruction: 0x1ca9c FAR: 0x90000000 ESR (DFSR): 0x96000044 halting...

Dynamic Loading of application
by ALVI Aslam (MORPHO) 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi everyone, Greetings, I'm just started with seL4. Current Progress: - I have built an application on top of seL4 as learning from tutorials, so this is my current design [seL4,My main_APP,App2,App1,App3] Here My main_App is my main application build on seL4 and App1, App2 and App3 are sub components link with My main_App.( Just like in Tutorial 4 of seL4). When i build and run , this is working fine, no issue with it. when i run make command first i build kernel then libraries, then App1 , App2, App3, then My main_app and in the end it generate a single image file to execute. My Question :- Can i dynamic load my sub components(App1, App2, App3) which is required by My_main_App in run time ? Can we do that in seL4 is yes then how ? i dont want my App1, App2 and App3 part of final image, I want to load them and run them separately using My_main _App? Thank you in Advance, Please Help.

AARCH64 with CAMKES (Questions)
by Michael DeFrancis 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Can camkes be used with ARM AARCH64? I am attempting to build a linux virtual machine on top of the zynqmp ultrascape+ / sel4 kernel, and using the tk1 vmm project as my reference point. When the build system attempts to generate camkes-gen.mk, it fails - displaying an error indicating that aarch64 is not a valid architecture specification for camkes. I see that valid arm options are aarch32 or arm_hyp. Is arm_hyp what I am looking for here? What would I need to do in order to strip the camkes dependencies out of the tk1 vmm project?

UEFI support for x86
by Edward Sandberg 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Is there a plan to add UEFI support in seL4 for x86 hardware in the near future? Newer x86 boards are frequently UEFI only. It is possible to get around the lack of UEFI support, as I have done with the UP board: https://up-community.org/wiki/Hardware_Specification but I am hitting problems which I will detail below. When I compile using ia32_debug_xml_defconfig and boot using the resulting images the board fails to find the RSDP location. To fix this I had to modify the source code a bit: * seL4test/projects/util_libs/libplatsupport/src/plat/pc99/acpi/acpi.h + #define UPBOARD_RSDP 0x5B161000 * seL4test/projects/util_libs/libplatsupport/src/plat/pc99/acpi/acpi.c - acpi->rsdp = acpi_sig_search(acpi, ACPI_SIG_RSDP, strlen(ACPI_SIG_RSDP), - (void *) BIOS_PADDR_START, (void *) BIOS_PADDR_END); + acpi->rsdp = (void *)UPBOARD_RSDP; * seL4test/kernel/src/plat/pc99/machine/acpi.c - for (addr = (char*)BIOS_PADDR_START; addr < (char*)BIOS_PADDR_END; addr += 16) { + for (addr = (char*)0; addr < (char*)PPTR_BASE; addr += 16) { It would be handy to have this as a kernel parameter to cover cases where it is not successfully discovered automatically. With these changes I can boot the board and several tests pass but then I get stuck on INTERRUPT0001 (Test interrupts with timer). I don't get a test failure or an error the board just sits and makes no more progress. Someone had that test fail in this post: https://sel4.systems/pipermail/devel/2017-February/001328.html and the first recommendation was to check if the irq of the timer was correctly found. I booted the board into linux to find the correct irq which was listed as 0 in /proc/interupts. I added a printf to handleInterrupt in the kernel source, recompiled and when I booted seL4 I found that the irq reported to handleInterrupt is 125 (which sel4 reports as the max interrupt value) every time that function is called. Adding this printf also showed me that when the test hangs the board hasn't crashed or locked up as calls to handleInterrupt are made continuously. At this point I noticed that before any tests started to run several ACPI tables are not recognized: Parsing ACPI tables Skipping table FPDTD, unknown Skipping table FIDT<9c>, unknown Skipping table UEFIB, unknown Skipping table TPM24, unknown Skipping table LPIT^D^A, unknown Skipping table BCFG9^A, unknown Skipping table PRAM0, unknown Skipping table CSRTL^A, unknown Skipping table BCFG9^A, unknown Skipping table OEM0<84>, unknown Skipping table OEM1@, unknown Skipping table PIDVÜ, unknown Skipping table RSCI,, unknown Skipping table WDAT^D^A, unknown Warning: skipping table ACPI XSDT Maybe one or more of those tables needs to be loaded to handle interrupts properly. The LPIT table is conspicuous in the case of the timer test but I think other tests are likely to depend on the other tables. Any suggestions about porting this type of hardware? -- Edward Sandberg Adventium Labs 111 3rd Avenue S. Suite #100 Minneapolis, MN 55401 ed.sandberg(a)adventiumlabs.com

seL4_Send vs. seL4_Call
by Stefan Wallentowitz 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Hi everyone, I have built a very simple application that loads another process, which is very similar to the tutorials. For testing I wanted to send from the second process to the first one using seL4_Send and observe that the second process never continues after the seL4_Send blocked, despite the receiver called seL4_Recv and got the message. If I call seL4_Call and the receiver does seL4_Recv + seL4_ReplyRecv it works without any other changes to the code. I am wondering if I am understanding something fundamentally wrong and/or what the best strategy to debug this behavior is. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Stefan

camkes-gen.mk generated prerequisites
by Gordon Clark 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

We have a multi component camkes application with each component using a few common services and then having application interfaces to a small number of other components.All these components are imported into a top level system description camkes file. Examining the generated camkes I see that all the generated header and source files have exactly the same make prerequisites meaning a change to logically unrelated components causes them all to be regenerated and recompiled. Now I have discovered the camkes cache this is less of an issue but is there a better way we can structure our application to reduce the edit-compile-go cycle ? Regards Gordon

seL4SharedData
by Zippy Maniac 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

We have a security requirement on our ARM based product using CAmkES 2.2.x to ensure all sensitive data declared in specific seL4SharedData regions are erased on detection of a power failure. We achieve this by overwriting the data with a known pattern that we read back from a separate component before declaring the device as secured. This is working fine. But we need to guarantee that the overwrite data is actually written to DDR and we aren't just using cached values. This means flushing the L1 and L2 data caches specific regions. We could use seL4HardwareMMIO regions and declare our data in the memory map and use these regions as un-cached. Or use the _hardware_cached attribute and call the provided flush method when necessary. Our main issue with doing this, except the fiddle of mapping multiple different sized regions into the memory map, is we could potentially expose the physical locations of the sensitive data rather than having it wrapped in the virtual address space of a component. Having a flush method on seL4SharedData would be the ideal solution. We are not in a position to upgrade our CAmkES version on this product at the moment. Any thoughts? Zippy

1:1 Mapping of Zynqmp devices
by Chris Guikema 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hello, I am attempting to port the camkes-arm-vm to the zynqmp platform. For the TK1 and Exynos platforms, the physical address of the hardware devices are well below the kernelBase of 0xe0000000. However, for the zynqmp, these hardware devices are greater than the kernel base. This causes the "map_emulated_device" function call to fail for the GIC and any other passthrough devices. sel4utils_reserve_range_at_no_alloc@vspace.c:589 Range not available at 0xff010000, size 0x1000 Assertion failed: res.res (/home/chrisguikema/seL4/NAMC/camkes-arm-vm/libs/libsel4arm-vmm/src/devices.c: map_device: 160) Is there a way to 1:1 map these devices, even if they are above the kernelBase? Thanks, Chris

Hi, I am trying to bring up sel4 on tegra Tx2 platform using tegra Tx1 as reference. I tweaked the important changes of UART,Timer configuration and IRQ number and also GIC controller, GIC distributor configuration w.r.t Tx2 after loading and booting the Tx2 board sel4 enter into init kernel to initialize the kerenl memory map for GIC and UART devices then control transfer to user space.

Also try to add debug print in the init kernel thread to understand the virtual memory set-up but its crashed with synchronous exception. It indicates that the UART driver till not available to log the messages this was seen in Tx1 and Tx2. Not able to check/debug further on this issue. Also experimented with various arbitrary address for UARTA_PPTR and GIC_PPTR because Tx1 UARTA has 64byte size in case of Tx2 its 1MB.but still nothing has improved the state remain same. I completely walk through the sel4 boot and arm MMU code.I do not see any board specific changes in this code apart from UART,GIC configuration and IRQ number. The assembly code of MMU mainly setting up TCR ,TTBR , TLB invalidation and pagetable setup for arma-57. Please let me know your thought on this issue and how do debug this kind of issue.

loading and booting seL4test on a zynq7000
by Joel Svensson 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello, I want to learn about seL4 so I am trying to get is started on the hardware I already have (a zynq 7000). I have generated the image: sel4test-driver-image-arm-zynq7000 Now I try to load that onto the zynq by executing these commands in XMD: connect arm hw rst fpga -f design_1_wrapper.bit source ps7_init.tcl ps7_init ps7_post_config dow sel4test-driver-image-arm-zynq7000 run All of the above seem to be successful. Then, I have a serial link hooked up to the board (uart) and there I get the following output (screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200) : ELF-loader started on CPU: ARM Ltd.

I am lost what to do from this position in order to continue exploring seL4. I don't even know if what I see is an indication of a problem or not. If anyone has experience in running seL4 on zynq and if you sit on knowledge you want to share, please fill me in. Thank you

CAmkES mutex Question
by Brandon, Jeffrey - 0553 - MITLL 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hi, I've been taking a look at mutex implementations in the camkes-app example and I had a question. In the mutex example here https://github.com/seL4/camkes/tree/master/apps/mutex suppose I wanted to extend to add a third component C I need to add the corresponding camkes, source, Kbuild, and Kconfig files and then I need to add connections to the master mutex.camkes file correct? My first intuition was to add a connector: Assembly { Composition{ . Connection seL4MyConnector connection(from c.lock, to b.lock); . } } But this yields and error saying something to the effect "seL4MyConnector expects one from endpoint and two are specified" To remedy this I added another lock component to B, and made a connection between C and this new lock B provides. The new lock being implemented by the same template. My Questions: In this scenario do A B and C still have access to the same mutex? If A has a lock on the mutex, then C requests a lock, will this cause A to be unable to release the lock? In my mental model I have three threads of control, one each for A B and C, if A has a lock and then C requests a lock, does this block B (when it receives a message from C and is now blocked on requesting the mutex)? Then when A tries to release, B is blocked and cannot release the mutex on A's behalf. To put it another way, does this mutex example rely on B having direct access to the templated code and there only being two components? Secondarily, in the lockserver example https://github.com/seL4/camkes/tree/master/apps/lockserver a situation is presented where three clients access a single mutex through a single server. Would there be an issue if one of the clients also acted as the server? So for instance if A implemented the three pairs of lock unlock functions instead of the server and then B and C used seL4RPCCall connections to A in order to access them, would there be any synchronization issues? I'm relatively new to this and am trying to build a system with the help of camkes and I want to make sure I understand this before I get too far. I don't want to be working under incorrect assumptions. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Jeff Brandon Associate Staff MIT Lincoln Laboratory Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Ph: +1 781.981.9233

Hi sel4 development team, I understand from the sel4 kernel the paddr and pptr used in the kernel framework to compute the page table entry. I found from ref manual GICD_PADDR defined as (ARM_PERIPHBASE (0x50040000) + 0x1000) 0x50041000 for that GIC_DISTRIBUTOR_PPTR used as 0xffffffffffff3000. This details was not able to see in the ref manual and other sel4 reference. Can someone help to understand the pptr calculation w.r.t sel4? Thanks in advance Munees

Because the sel4 UART driver initialisation happened later when seL4 Main kernel initialization is finished. till then sel4 kernel uses u-boot UART driver to route the message. This interpretation is correct as per my understanding. Also mentioned in code as well debug output available via serial interface after kernel init thread started. /* debug output via serial port is only available from here */ printf("Bootstrapping kernel\n"); It means that when sel4 kernel comes up with u-boot uart driver and then later using sel4 uart driver. Please correct me if any thing wrong here and throw some input. Regards, Munees

Some guidance when using AutoCorres.
by Dan DaCosta 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

seL4 Developers: Consider the following c structure declarations: struct foo_struct{ uint16_t subfield; }; struct bar_struct{ struct foo foo; }; I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I might go about proving something like this: s[Ptr &(bar→[''foo_C'']) := subfield_C_update (λ_. b) (heap_MissionCommand_struct_C s (Ptr &(bar→[''foo_C''])))] = s[Ptr &(bar→[''missioncommand_C''])→subfield := b] where s of type lifted_globals, bar is of type foo_struct_C, and b is of type word16. I *think* it should be provable, i.e., "updating all of the foo field with a copy of what was there originally modulo some change to subfield is equivalent to making that change directly to the subfield." I apologize in for taking this "into the weeds" but some of the definitions being used are buried in the AutoCorres translation and I am unsure how to make my question more abstract. Thanks in Advance! Dan DaCosta

Hi Munees, I went through some methods for how to boot the seL4 kernel on a stock TX1 board yesterday and wrote this guide: https://wiki.sel4.systems/Hardware/jetsontx1 It goes through the steps for getting seL4 booted using an SD Card, the internal 15GiB mass storage on the TX1, or using a USB cable and the DFU protocol.? DFU is probably a lot faster/better for you f you're doing active development. Could you try one of these methods and let me know if any of them works for you? -- Kofi Doku Atuah Kernel engineer DATA61 | CSIRO

Questions on seL4's scheduling
by Norrathep Rattanavipanon 21 Oct '17

21 Oct '17

Hello, I have a few questions about seL4's scheduling model in the main (formally verified) branch. 1) I see the time slice parameter in make menuconfig. Is that where I can change the scheduler's time slice correct? And the unit is in timer tick period I suppose? 2) I kind of remember the discussion we had that if an interrupt handler has lower priority than the currently running task, then the interrupt wouldnt happen. So what if both of them have the same priority, would the kernel schedule the currently running task until it uses up all of its timeslice, then issues the interrupt notification or would the interrupting process get executed right away?

64 bit ARM ELF image load in Tx1 platform
by Muneeswaran Rajendran 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hi All, I have been trying to load 64bit seL4 (kernel+user space) ELF image on Tx1 board but it's failed to start the application and crashed with reason '"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x02000000' always. Just walk through the Tx1 u-boot code and found that 'load_elf_image_phdr(unsigned long addr)' is using 32bit ELF header structure pointer to load the program header. I would like to understand whether 64bit ELF image load handled using 32bit elf header itself or we need to configure u-boot to load 64 bit ELF image ? I have modified the kernel base addr as 0xffffffc000080000 and phyadd as 0x80080000 to boot sel4 app image on TX1 board nothing has worked out. Please share details if someone succeeded to bring sel4 app elf image on Tx1 platform. Regards, Munees

To my knowledge, no, because the TX1 is already running in regression internally, and that UART driver I linked you to is used by the TX1 port with no modifications. As for your question about the TX2, I cannot comment on whether or not the TX2 works the same as the TX1 because I have no experience with the TX2, since we do not have this board internally, and because seL4 does not officially support the TX2. If you want to port seL4 to the TX2, it would require some effort in figuring out what the differences between the TX1 and TX2 are, as far as I can tell :) -- Kofi Doku Atuah Kernel engineer DATA61 | CSIRO

SMP on Zynq7000 zc702
by Jesse Millwood 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hello, I realize that the only officially supported SMP platform is the i.mx6 but I did see some code on 6.0 to master for SMP and the zynq7000 so I am trying to test out some SMP functionality on my zc702 board. I am wondering if anyone has this working because my system is failing when compiling from master and the 6.0 and compatible tags. My second core seems to be coming up but the system ultimately fails and prints out: Bo ot nKgE RaNlEl L fDinAiTsAh eAdBO, RdT!r ppFaeud lttio nugs eirn stspraucctei o n: 0xe001d1b0 o FAR: 0xfffffff8 DFSR: 0x807 halting... Kernel entry via Syscall, number: 1, Call Cap type: 1, Invocation tag: 37 Which seems to be "Booting all finished, dropped to user space" from core0 and "KERNEL DATA ABORT!" from core1. The "0xe001d1b0" seems to be the label of the "idle_thread" function. While stepping through via JTAG, I have verified that core1 gets through "init_kernel" and then enters "restore_user_context" at some point in "restore_user_context" the fault registers as shown in the printed output are set. I think it is either in the c_exit_hook in restore_user_context or after the program branches to "0xFFF0010" which is "ldr pc,0xFFFF0030". This branches to the "arm_data_abort_exception" label, which goes to "kernel_data_fault" label and then to "kernel data abort". I'm having trouble exactly pin pointing where the fault occurs but it seems to be close to there. Has anyone had similar issues with SMP? It seems to get fairly far without setting the fault registers.

I am booting from jtag and first run the ps7_init script and then flash the fsbl and then the "capdl-loader-experimental-image-arm-zynq7000" that was built. I am wondering if anyone is using a modified fsbl or ps7_init that does something else, if there is config value that I missed, or if it is still in development? If it is still in development I'd like to work with whoever is Thanks, Jesse Millwood

Question about IO ports in CAmKES
by John Backes 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

I have a question about the Real-time Clock component (RTC) for the x86 VMM found here: https://github.com/SEL4PROJ/global-components/blob/master/components/RTC/RT… Here is the text of the camkes file: import <RTC.idl4>; import <PutChar.idl4>; component CMOS { hardware; provides IOPort cmos_address; provides IOPort cmos_data; attribute string cmos_address_attributes = "0x70:0x70"; attribute string cmos_data_attributes = "0x71:0x71"; } component RTC { provides RTC rtc; maybe uses PutChar putchar; uses IOPort cmos_address; uses IOPort cmos_data; attribute int heap_size = 0; /* Connect the hardware RTC to the RTC component */ composition { component CMOS cmos; connection seL4HardwareIOPort rtc_cmos_address(from cmos_address, to cmos.cmos_address); connection seL4HardwareIOPort rtc_cmos_data(from cmos_data, to cmos.cmos_data); } configuration { cmos.cmos_address_attributes <- cmos_address_attributes; cmos.cmos_data_attributes <- cmos_data_attributes; } } What is the meaning of the last two statements in the configuration block? what is the scoping rules for the "cmos_address_attributes" and "cmos_data_attributes" variables? It looks like these attributes are already set in the definition of the CMOS component? They seemed to be assigned again in the configuration block? - John

Integer overflow bug in capdl-loader
by Jeff Kubascik 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

Hello, I am working with seL4 7.0.0 on the zynq7000 platform. I have come across a bug that occurs when a device physical memory region includes the highest address, i.e. where the memory region ends at 0xFFFFFFFF on 32 bit systems. When I create a CAmkES component that uses the highest address, I see the following error. ELF-loader started on CPU: ARM Ltd. Cortex-A9 r3p0 paddr=[10000000..100ac81f] ELF-loading image 'kernel' paddr=[0..32fff] vaddr=[e0000000..e0032fff] virt_entry=e0000000 ELF-loading image 'capdl-loader-experimental' paddr=[33000..1aefff] vaddr=[8000..183fff] virt_entry=befc Enabling MMU and paging Bootstrapping kernel Booting all finished, dropped to user space <<seL4(CPU 0) [decodeUntypedInvocation/210 T0xffdfd100 "rootserver" @8fa8]: Untyped Retype: Insufficient memory (1 * 4096 bytes needed, 0 bytes available).>> Warning: using printf before serial is set up. This only works as your printf is backed by seL4_Debug_PutChar() [Err seL4_NotEnoughMemory]: I have traced this problem to an integer overflow bug in the capdl-loader. The patch below shows how I have addressed this error. >From 22c9dd76a31713c98710830c2ea865a4e5d8a078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Kubascik <jeff.kubascik(a)dornerworks.com> Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:52:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fixed integer overflow bug in capdl-loader that occurs when a device physical memory region ends at 0xFFFFFFFF --- capdl-loader-app/src/main.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/capdl-loader-app/src/main.c b/capdl-loader-app/src/main.c index 34eedb0..305da2a 100644 --- a/capdl-loader-app/src/main.c +++ b/capdl-loader-app/src/main.c @@ -554,7 +554,7 @@ static int find_device_object(void *paddr, seL4_Word type, int size_bits, seL4_C /* Assume we are allocating from a device untyped.

The current statement is comparing the address of the next byte past the end of the memory region. My change is comparing the address of the last byte in the memory region. I have tested this fix on the zynq7000 and it works. However, I am not too familiar with the capdl-loader. Are there any problems with this fix that I have not considered? Thanks, Jeff Kubascik

ARM 64-bit Support in seL4
by keith＠matellio.com 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Not sure if this is the best place to post this question but I noticed on the seL4 roadmap page on the website that 64-bit support for ARM is due out at the end of 3Q2017. Is that correct, and if so, can someone give me some hints of where to look for it in the repository?

General question about software
by Raymond Jennings 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

So, I know that at a basic level, a block device driver would probably need I/O permissions, and I'm guessing that it would be handling requests from a file system driver. Is that basically how the seL4 software ecosystem is laid out? What's typical for how "software in the wild" is actually organized and layered on top of the microkernel? I only know about seL4 from a theoretical standpoint, read the manual and stuff, and mostly familiar with the actual kernel, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to actual software.
