-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: openrisc Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:08:18 +0100 From: Nick Betteridge <nick.betteridge@...2...> To: Martin Stein <martin.stein@...1...> Hi Martin, Thanks for getting back to me - no problem on delayed reply as I'm looking after my two boys whilst trying to do some work. It's chaos. No problem also on using the genode lists. I may initially ask some very dumb questions as I haven't touched assembler work and processors since the early 80's. I have quickly scanned through your base_hw. Thank you so much for really documenting the code so well - at a first glance it looks as though a port should be straight forward. For the next two weeks I have to manage a 9 year old and a twelve year old and will attempt a port on my own if and when I get a chance. (I can't believe I was so badly behaved at those ages). After that we're on holiday in France until the beginning of September. From September onwards I hope to devote one day a week to this. Thanks again for being supportive and offering your help.

Question about using heap
by 정복득 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi, My program runs two kinds of RPC server in a single process. Do I need to get sliced heap for each RPC server or can I just share one sliced heap object between the rpc server? For example, Sliced_heap sliced_heap1(env()->ram_session(), env()->rm_session()); Sliced_heap sliced_heap2(env()->ram_session(), env()->rm_session()); ... Server1_root_component server1_root(&server1_ep, &sliced_heap1, ....); Server2_root_component server1_root(&server2_ep, &sliced_heap2, ....); OR Sliced_heap sliced_heap(env()->ram_session(), env()->rm_session()); ... Server1_root_component server1_root(&server1_ep, &sliced_heap, ....); Server2_root_component server1_root(&server2_ep, &sliced_heap, ....); My another question is : Do I need to use Synchronized_allocator to allocate a memory from heap (for object creation) when running multiple thread? Or is it ok to call (env()->heap()) for object creation in heap? Thank you. Bokdeuk Jeong

Trouble with QEMU when running run/demo on branch 12.05
by Сергей Грехов 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello to all! I have switched on commit daf4300 and tried to run demo with command "make run/demo". The output gives no error, but for some reason qemu shows only black screen. I tried to use qemu provided by Ubuntu (0.15.1) and tried to compile version 0.14.1 with SDL support - the result is the same - black screen. The emulated system is foc_pbxa9. Command "make run/demo" works fine on tag 12.05. So I guess that the problem is in some commit between b54bdea and daf4300. -- Best regards, Sergey S. Grekhov

NOVA: Capability selectors cause call of invalid portal
by Markus Partheymueller 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I am quite stuck with a problem I encountered when using a timer connection in Vancouver. As soon as the unique IDs of the capabilities for RPC reach numbers >= 0x100000, RPC calls fail because of calls to invalid portal numbers. In my particular case, there are 4 portals created: [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x1a06 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x139950 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x1a07 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x1398d0 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x1a08 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x139950 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x1a09 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x1398d0 In base/include/base/rpc_client.h, I inserted a debug statement showing that the "internal" portal being called is 0x82260. I think this is due to the translation between global capability selectors and NOVA portals, is that correct? When the internal IDs hit 0x100000, what happens is this: [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x30e6 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x139950 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x30e7 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x1398d0 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x30e8 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x139950 [ 0] EC:0xc0019f00 SYS_CREATE PT:0x30e9 EC:0xa7 EIP:0x1398d0 But the next event in NOVA is a call to portal number 0x100018, which doesn't exist because it was not created beforehand. It seems to me that from this point in time, the internal IDs are being used as NOVA portals somehow. But all I found was this unmarshalling method in base-nova/include/base/ipc.h: inline void Genode::Ipc_istream::_unmarshal_capability(Genode::Native_capability &cap) { long unique_id = 0; _read_from_buf(unique_id); int pt_sel = unique_id != ~0L ? _rcv_msg->rcv_pt_sel() : 0; cap = Native_capability(pt_sel, unique_id); } I put another debug instruction there and found out that rcv_pt_base was 0x100018, when the call failed. Right now I'm quite lost in all that RPC and Capability wrangling. Maybe someone can shed some light on this? How is that translation between internal IDs and NOVA portals done, anyway?

I/O Memory Mapping failed
by Markus Partheymueller 30 Jul '12

Hi, I tried to boot a basic setup to test the USB driver with acpi on top of NOVA. But now at boot time, I get the following error: int main(): --- create local services --- int main(): --- start init --- int main(): transferred 3002 MB to init int main(): --- init created, waiting for exit condition --- start new pager object with EIP=0x1024ec4, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x1027444, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x101f0a4, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x1066044, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x1039584, ESP=0x6001000 [init -> vesa_drv] int Framebuffer_drv::map_io_mem(Genode::addr_t, Genode::size_t, bool, v0 start new pager object with EIP=0x102a704, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x1038ee4, ESP=0x6001000 start new pager object with EIP=0x1022714, ESP=0x6001000 [init -> launchpad] Could not open file "config" [init -> launchpad] Could not obtain config file [init -> acpi -> pci_drv] PCI driver started I/O memory [bf7fe000,bf800000) not available Local MMIO mapping failed!

Any ideas what could be the problem here? Cheers Markus

NOVA: remote revoke
by Alexander Boettcher 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Udo, do you see any issues to extend the revoke syscall by a protection domain (pd) parameter ? Currently implicitly the current protection domain of the caller is used. With the extension the caller would have to specify explicitly the pd where the revoke operation should apply to. Genode core currently revokes all memory of the client pd subject to destruction. However core has no means to make sure that references to kernel objects are freed which creation has been issued by the client pd directly using the kernel syscalls. Additionally core can't make sure to revoke any mappings of memory, i/o ports and object capabilities which the client received via other channels (services/sessions provided not by core). The same issue also applies to NUL[0], where sigma0 can't clean up the object space of the vancouvers subject to destruction. With the remote revoke core and sigma0 in NUL would be able to make sure that all user level references inside a pd subject to destruction can be freed. Cheers, Alex.

VMware / VirtualBox demo?
by Mike Warot 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

I've reached the end of my Linux skill set trying to get the Build environment working in a Ubuntu 11.04 environment. (In a VM) on my Windows 7 box. I really, REALLY want to get up to speed on Genode (as I see it as the ONLY effective stop for all this silly "cyberwar" stuff, thanks to it's native support of capability based security). Is there somewhere I can download a VMware or VirtualBox image of it installed? -- Mike Warot Manager, Information Systems Live Marketing Office: (312) 237-3511 Cell: (219) 801-9272 Email: m.warot@...120...

USB HID driver fails to recognize input devices
by Markus Partheymueller 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

Hi, I'm trying to get the latest Genode running (using the base platform NOVA on a real machine, not qemu). As a simple kick-off I tried to use the demo scenario with nitpicker and launchpad. However, with the USB Legacy support enabled, only the keyboard was working, the mouse could not be configured properly. Now that this machine doesn't have any real PS/2 connectors and the Legacy mode tends to be a bit quirky sometimes, I decided to go for the USB HID driver. But now the driver seems to only find several hubs and ports, but no devices attached to them. Plus, during the boot process, the mouse's LED gets switched off and is never turned on again. Is there some limitation regarding scanned USB ports and/or suitable devices? Or am I missing something else? I attached the log file of this boot process, but be warned that there seems to be some problem with serial output, as mainly in the beginning there are several weird broken lines in the log. Thanks Markus

IRQ handling
by Ivan Loskutov 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hello. I try to implement touchscreen driver. I have resistive touchscreen and this touchscreen used GPIO pin for interrupt on tap. I try to extend my GPIO driver for this. I know how to handle IRQ in driver but I need to send this IRQ event from GPIO driver to touchscreen driver. How to do it? I see only polling from touchscreen driver. Or can I use other solution? -- Ivan Loskutov
