Thank you for suggestion! Will send them info that they need explicitly state that you can’t read local (own) thread registers in docs
While I I think that this is mostly bug in Genode - it return incorrect OK code (0) during such attempt while probably need to analyze response from seL4 more carefully
(May be this is seL4 library bug - it is still unclear for me why I haven’t the name used from seL4 documentation in the seL4 sources in Genode/contrib, suspect some linker tricks)

Alex,
I would encourage passing what you found along (even the documentation improvement suggestion) to Data61. They are very open to any form of feedback with seL4.

Problem 2. When I start trying to make a fast solution and try to read registers and some info from low level physical seL4 thread using seL4_TCB_ReadRegisters I found that: In returned successfully data rip register is always 0 for current thread, tcb selector myself.native_thread().tcb_sel also 0, and rsp = 0x13! Probably I can’t read myself?
Seems that I found answer in the seL4 code. They do not allow ReadReginster from myself:
In file object/tcb.c exception_t decodeReadRegisters(cap_t cap, word_t length, bool_t call, word_t *buffer) { … thread = TCB_PTR(cap_thread_cap_get_capTCBPtr(cap)); if (thread == NODE_STATE(ksCurThread)) { userError("TCB ReadRegisters: Attempted to read our own registers."); current_syscall_error.type = seL4_IllegalOperation; return EXCEPTION_SYSCALL_ERROR; }
Seems that this is my fault (while this is not anyhow specified in the docs, only some innuendo about stopped thread read)
So, the function used from library seL4_TCB_ReadRegisters incorrectly return 0 - everything is ok while it is not.
Also seems that seL4_TCB_WriteRegisters do not work in such conditions as well - it return without errors and not changing rip to new function specified in appropriate field …
