A Few Quick Thoughts On Sculpt VC
by John J. Karcher 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Hello, I'm afraid this won't be a very substantive message - I just have a couple of opinions and a question. First, about the new "Live Runtime View". I didn't know what to expect from Sculpt VC, but even given your history of thinking outside the box, this one surprised me. It is a very powerful and elegant idea that perfectly matches the rest of the system. I can't wait to see what comes next! Also, I like the changes to the "launcher" / "deploy" config. It's a nice, clean separation that makes it much easier for the user (and future GUI front-ends, I assume). Since there always seems to be a good reason for even the minor design decisions you make, I will pose this as a question rather than a request: Is there a reason why the Inspect window is not always open? I find it handy for working with the "in-memory config", even without using the storage devices. In the same vein, might I suggest a more "discoverable" way of switching between the Inspect window and the Live Runtime View? (Perhaps a button bar like the "Network" section of the Manager window.) In a nutshell, I continue to be impressed with the direction you've chosen. I am planning on getting a refurbished ThinkPad soon, and will try to migrate to Genode as a "daily driver"; hopefully then I can give more useful feedback. Thanks! -- John J.

interrupt issues caused by multiple IO-APICs?
by Nobody III 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

I've been trying to debug Genode's interrupt issues on my desktop computer on and off for a few years now, and I've recently gathered more information by testing some different devices and configurations that I hadn't before. I'd already found that both usb_drv and ahci_drv waited for interrupts that never came, and were thus unable to function properly. However, fb_drv works without any issues. I know from previous debugging, with the help of multiple Genode developers, that my computer has two IO-APICs (rather than one) and an unusual ACPI table. I've tried using ACPICA in place of Genode's custom ACPI driver, but that doesn't solve my problems, even now that it calls the _PIC method to configure the interrupt controller to run in APIC mode. Recently, I have acquired a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and have found, to my surprise, that they worked properly in Genode, unlike both USB and AHCI. I was even more surprised to find that my recently-added Intel 8260 wireless card also worked under Genode. I examined my interrupt table (available at https://gist.github.com/NobodyIII/573e58bcb82446ed1da36043676c3013), and found that the wireless card uses MSI interrupts, and noticed that the XHCI controller also uses MSI interrupts. I modified Sculpt's usb_drv config to disable everything except XHCI, and plugged my USB mouse and keyboard into USB 3.0 ports, and that allowed me to use them as well. After further examination of my interrupt table, I noticed that the i8042-compatible PS/2 controller uses regular IO-APIC interrupts like the ACHI, OHCI, and EHCI controllers do. However, AHCI, OCHI, and EHCI all use the upper half of my IRQs (16-32), while the PS/2 controller only uses the lower half. Assuming that the two IO-APICs split the IRQs such that one handles the lower half of the IRQs and the other handles the upper half, it seems that Genode is likely handling the first IO-APIC correctly, but not the second one. Does anyone have any more information or ideas? And has anyone else tried Genode on a computer with multiple IO-APICs?

rump_cgd
by Steven Harp 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Is rump_cgd (block encrypted devices introduced ~14.05) still supported/operational in Genode 18.x? Issue #2224 mentions "not converted" in transition to new base API [1], and #2778 seems to have removed the 'tool/rump' script (which was handy to prepare encrypted volumes) [2]. // Steve Harp [1] https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2224 [2] https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2778

TZ_VMM demo on i.mx53
by lzSun 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hello, I am new to Genode and the version I am using is 18.05. I am trying to boot genode on the secure world and linux on normal world on i.MX53-QSB board. I follow steps in this link: https://sourceforge.net/p/genode/mailman/message/33588666/. The system can boot successfully ,but after the linux started，it periodically print this message: mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt. mxsdhci: ============== REGISTER DUMP ============== mxsdhci: Sys addr: 0x00000000 | Version: 0x00001201 mxsdhci: Blk size: 0x00000000 | Blk cnt: 0x00000001 mxsdhci: Argument: 0x00000c00 | Trn mode: 0x341a0000 mxsdhci: Present: 0xff880008 | Host ctl: 0x00000121 mxsdhci: Clock: 0x000010ff mxsdhci: Int stat: 0x00010001 mxsdhci: Int enab: 0x107f010b | Sig enab: 0x107f000b mxsdhci: Caps: 0x07f30000 mxsdhci: =========================================== I am not sure whether this is normal, or it's because something wrong.And I have a few question about the TZ_VMM demo on i.MX53 board hope to get help: 1. I looked up the code in repos/os/src/server/tz_vmm, in target.mk file, there's only empty.cc was declared to be compiled. So how can other files can be compiled and used? 2. I want to implement a secure app in Genode OS and provide service to normal world.But I have difficult to achieve this goal. To my understanding, I should implement the server module that can be used by VMM. Also, I should design help module in the linux kernel which uses SMC instruction to trap to VMM. Is it right? Actually, in tz_vmm dictionary, I can only see a block driver and serial driver which are used to handle block and serial driver smc respectively. So I don't know where can I add my code to serve normal world's smc request. Is there any suggestion or guidance that I can refer to? Best Regards,

Genode on AMD SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0
by Nobody III 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

I've had issues with interrupts on Genode on my desktop computer with an AMD chipset. In particular, the USB and AHCI drivers both get stuck waiting for interrupts. However, the VESA framebuffer driver works fine. I have tried using ACPICA to solve my issues, but with no success. I recently bought a PS/2 mouse, and it works just fine. Also, I recently installed an Intel wireless card, which Sculpt was able to detect. When I selected WiFi, the driver was able to detect nearby wireless networks. I have not been able to test whether I can connect yet, because I don't have a PS/2 keyboard. I'll try inserting my own wifi_config XML file with an SSID and password into my Sculpt image tomorrow, and then I can report on whether that works. What does this new information indicate?

openssl port
by Steven Harp 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Is there some chance that the OpenSSL port will be upgraded in the near future? This port currently references * 1.0.1i *, which is no longer supported. (Versions 1.0.2p or 1.1.0i are still supported.) Given OpenSSL's relevance to features like native stub resolver, this might be a good opportunity to upgrade? // Steve Harp

Sculpt/wifi_drv regression: no IP address
by Nobody III 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I updated to the 18.08 Genode release, built a Sculpt image, then booted it on my Dell Latitude 6430u laptop. I discovered that the WiFi driver, which worked in 18.05 (Sculpt TC) no longer works properly. In particular, the WiFi driver detects the access points and can connect to them, but doesn't get an IP address. I tried multiple access points, both my wireless router and my phone. With my phone, I used a clean lowercase alphabetic SSID ("bensphone"), to avoid any issues with problematic characters. I am using an Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card.. Wired networking still works.
