Hello everyone, I am trying to create a grub iso image in order to run sel4bench on real hardware. The target architecture is x86_64 and I would prefer a grub iso because no changes to the hardware setup would be necessary then. What I did so far: I create the sel4bench images as follows mkdir sel4bench cd sel4bench repo init -u -u https://github.com/seL4/sel4bench-manifest.git repo sync mkdir build cd build ../init-build.sh -DPLATFORM=x86_64 ninja I get two elf images in the build/images directory as expected. Now in order to creat a bootable iso image i followed this guide https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootab... Which means: mkdir -p iso/boot/grub grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso cp /path/to/kernel-x86_64-pc99 iso cp /path/to/sel4benchapp-image-x86_64-pc99 iso Then I add the grub.cfg under iso/boot/grub/grub.cfg menuentry "Load seL4 VM" --class os { multiboot /kernel-x86_64-pc99 module /sel4benchapp-image-x86_64-pc99 } There are a few lines missing from your offered grub stanza here https://docs.sel4.systems/Hardware/IA32 Mainly because I was having issues with getting it to run with them and without them I got further. Then I run grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso iso And try out the resulting iso as follows: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom grub.iso -nographic -enable-kvm -cpu Haswell,-vme,+pdpe1gb,+xsave,+xsaveopt,-xsavec,+fsgsbase,+invpcid,+syscall,+lm,enforce -m size=512M I get the following output: seL4 Benchmark ============== Switching to a safer, bigger stack...

Now I am only interested in the benchmark IPC for now. And maybe FAULT as well later. So I do not need to get irquser to run. Therefore I do the following setup again: mkdir sel4bench cd sel4bench repo init -u -u https://github.com/seL4/sel4bench-manifest.git repo sync mkdir build cd build ../init-build.sh -DPLATFORM=x86_64 and not i run ccmake . which opens a configuration screen where I can choose which benchmarks I want to include in the image. I disable everything except FASTPATH (this does not seem to be a benchmark) and IPC. I run ninja again and use the resulting images are build into an iso as stated above.

All is well in the universe. Fin So the benchmark runs but now a libsel4muslcsys error is new. syscall 228 is sys_clock_gettime so I assume it is important for the benchmark and even so it is not terminating I am not sure whether the results are correct with that error. So somehow removing the other benchmarks resulted in an error in the ipc benchmark which was not there or at least not shown there when compiling with all benchmarks. When trying to find out which removal is causing the problem a variety of other problems is appearing. Do you think the musllib error is related to the missing lines in the grub.cfg? If so do you have an idea which one? Why do the different benchmarks influence each other, am I compiling it wrong? If there are information missing feel free to let me know and I will try to add them Kind regards, Bengt
