Announcement: Genode OS Framework version 11.08 released
by Stefan Kalkowski 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

The 11.08 release brings unified workflows for all base platforms with a streamlined tooling support, enhanced documentation, and a new quality-assurance infrastructure as well as some functional additions. With the version 11.08, the framework relieves the burden of using distinct base platforms with Genode by introducing a unified way to download, build, and use each of the kernels with Genode's user-level infrastructure. The new tools empower users of the framework to instantly change the underlying kernel without the need to know the peculiarities of the respective kernels. Using microkernels has never been easier. The second challenge of translating each kernel's specific behaviour to the framework's unified API longs for an automated testing infrastructure that systematically exercises all the various facets of the API on all base platforms. The new version introduces the tooling support especially designed for conducting such quality-assurance measures. Speaking of functional enhancements, the work on version 11.08 was focused on our block-device infrastructure and ARM support. The additions comprise new drivers for SD-cards, IDE, SATA, USB storage as well as a new partition server. All those components provide Genode's generic block interface, which is meant to be used a back end for file systems. On file-system level, a new libc plugin utilizes libffat to enable the straight-forward use of VFAT partitions by libc-using programs. Additionally, the release brings far-reaching improvements with respect to ARM-based platforms. The paravirtualized L4Linux kernel has been updated to Linux version 2.6.39 running on both x86_32 and ARM. Also, Qt4 including Webkit has become functional on ARMv6-based platforms. Read on about these and all additional changes in more detail in the release notes at http://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.08/ -- Stefan Kalkowski Genode Labs http://www.genode-labs.com/ · http://genode.org/ Genode Labs GmbH · Amtsgericht Dresden · HRB 28424 · Sitz Dresden Geschäftsführer: Dr.-Ing.

exception propagation
by Daniel Waddington 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi, I'm trying to catch a Region_conflict exception from a call to env()->rm_ression()->attach(...). By putting printfs in the Genode code I see the exception is being thrown in the rm-session-component, but it does not seem to be getting propagated back to the client app. Can someone check the new GENODE_RPC_THROW macro is working correctly? Fiasco.OC x86_32. Thanks Daniel

Third anniversary of the Genode OS Framework
by Norman Feske 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Dear Genode Community, it has been almost three years ago when we published the first version of the Genode OS Framework. Since then, our ongoing commitment and dedication to bring forward this technology has proven our project to be sustaining and constantly evolving. Moreover, to our delight, the last year has shown that the potential behind our project receives increasing recognition by people outside the inner circle of the Genode and L4 communities. This gives us more than enough reasons to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Genode together with you! Let's gather for a barbecue and a campfire on 19th of August, 6 pm near Moritzburger Str. 1 in Dresden http://maps.google.de/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=103318122554571178078.0004… We'd be happy about everyone who feels related to Genode to join us at the wonderful location nearby the river, enjoying both vegetarian and non-vegetarian barbecue and beverages. If you plan to attend, please leave a short note until 17th of August at info@...1... Cheers Norman -- Dr.-Ing.

Simple custom pager

set pager in foc
by Chen Tian - SISA 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hello, After the set_pager function of a thread is called through a cpu_session, the _pager of that thread is set and used when the actual platform thread starts. But there is only one thread (pager) to resolve all page faults for all threads. I think the pager mapping happened in platform_thread::start (platform_thread.cc:40-47). Can somebody please explain to me the meaning of this l4_task_map call? I suspect that "_remote_pager_cap" is corresponding to the global pager, but cannot find any evidence. Thanks a lot. Best, Chen

Rm_session::Out_of_memory.
by Chen Tian - SISA 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hello, I want to measure the thread creation time in Genode via Cpu_session create_thread, start and kill_thread interface. However, after sometime (around 139th thread creation), I always get a "Quota exceed! Amount=61440, size=4096, consumed=61440" error. And a message "C++ runtime: Genode::Rm_session::Out_of_memory" follows that. I expected all resources used by a thread should be released when "kill_thread" is called. This is apparently not the case. Can someone explain to me why this error happened and how I can adjust the Rm_sesion quota? Thanks, Best, Chen
