This patch adds support for booting base-hw kernel on qemu-arm virt
machines. The arm_virt machine has 2GB of RAM, 2 Cortex A15 cores and
uses GICv2 interrupt controller. The arm_64_virt machine also has 2GB of
RAM, but has 4 Cortex A53 cores and uses GICv3. Both machines use PSCI
to boot additional CPU cores.
Fixes#3673
This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by
2064ffd64b nova: support multidimensional affinity space
The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful
boot as well as to detect unexpected reboots. This message should never
be logged twice and, thus, should not be part of the core_log. The patch
mentioned above moved the former run_boot_string after the core_log
initialization.
From the man page of expect:
> Both expect and interact will detect when the current process exits
> and implicitly do a close. But if you kill the process by, say, "exec
> kill $pid", you will need to explicitly call close.
Fixes#3569
Components like kernel, core, and bootstrap that are built for a
specific board need to reside inside the same architectural dependent
build directory. For instance there are sel4, foc, and hw kernel builds
for imx6q_sabrelite and imx7d_sabre, which have to reside inside the same
arm_v7 build directory.
This commit names those components explicitely, and adapts the run-tool to it.
Fix#3316
Until now, Genode referenced a fork of the outdated elfloader-tool
to enable bootstrapping of sel4 on ARM platforms. Because the
elfloader is inherently dependent on the used platforms newer
ARM versions supported by the kernel could not be loaded by the
outdated elfloader. This commit uses a fresh fork of the nowadays
used sel4_tools repository.
Ref #3251
The 'run_genode_until' procedure only called 'run_power_on' to reset
the target machine. That works will with the softreset module, which
is used by all x86-based test system but falls short regarding ARM
boards. The way those boards are connected requires turning the power
off and on for a complete cycle.
The plugin was tested with ALL4176 but should support all modern Allnet
MSR devices according to the documentation
https://service.allnet.de/image-ftp/ftp/pub/allnet/MSR/JSON/JSON_MSR.zip
It works just like the existing powerplug plugins by
RUN_OPT += --include power_on/allnet --include power_off/allnet
and uses the following parameters
--power-on-allnet-host network address of device
--power-on-allnet-user user for device
--power-on-allnet-password password for device
--power-on-allnet-port target port/socket of device
--power-off-allnet-host network address of device
--power-off-allnet-user user for device
--power-off-allnet-password password for device
--power-off-allnet-port target port/socket of device

The new base/xsd/config.inc defines generic XSD types such as 'Boolean' or
'Session_label'. It can be included in config XSD files by using:
! <xs:include schemaLocation="file://${GENODE_CONFIG_INC}"/>
The string ${GENODE_CONFIG_INC} is replaced by the run tool with the
above mentionened file path.
Issue #2897
Also remove 'requires_installation_of', while also checking sbin
directories in 'have_installed'. The run scripts have been adjusted
accordingly.
Fixes#2853
Newer revisions of parted require special privileges due to use of the
dmidecode tool, which logs permission errors to standard error. In these
cases parted still succeeds with its operation, so just ignore the
jabbering and prevent expect to exit.
Issue #2778
The "create_grub2" script functionality is moved to the g2fg contrib sources
and also the GRUB2 head image (tool/grub2-head.img). The head image is now
partitioned as GPT and bootable in BIOS legacy mode.
Our static okl4 system-integration configuration specifies a fixed RAM
range from 32 to 800 MiB, which must be satisfied by Qemu or strange
errors happen due to accesses beyond RAM. (Fixes current issues with
nic_router.run.)
Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
Fixes#2547
When a pkg is missing, the user should create <arch>/pkg instead
of only the missing pkg. This way, all depending binaries are created in
one step. Otherwise the missing binaries are detected at the next time
the run script is executed. This patch relieves the user from iterating
manually.
This commit changes the semantic of run_boot_dir to link a core
binary with debug symbols only when the designated library is in place.
Follow-up fix refering to issues #2339 and #2700
The install_pxe_bootloader_to_run_dir procedure is required by the tftp
as well as the ipxe load script. Move it to a separate file which is
include by both.
Apply the approach to join the argument list 'args' to pass a single
list argument to _collect_from_depot. Actually, this story teaches me to
shy away from {*} because of its special semantics, which are
{*} makes each item in a list an individual argument of the current
command (https://wiki.tcl.tk/17158)
This is a direct follow up to "run: let import_from_depot accept list
variables", which broke calling import_from_depot with a number of
individual arguments.
Issue #2619
When doing something like this in a run script ...
lappend arg X
lappend arg Y
lappend arg Z
import_from_depot arg
... the internals of import_from_depot do not treat $arg as list but as one
string and interprets it as malformed depot path. We can handle this by
applying {*} to $arg inside the procedure.
Issue #2619
This patch changes the depot layout such that each archive is
represented as a directory that contains the versions of the archive as
subdirectories.
Issue #2610
The run tool now by default checks configurations with target-specific
XML schemata. Each component may define a config schema file in its
target.mk via the CONFIG_XSD variable. When the run tool has checked an
configuration of an init instance, it additionally goes through the
start nodes of the config. For each start node it checks whether there
is an XSD file that matches. If so, the run tool also checks the config
of the start node (if existant). This is done recursively. I.e., also
the child configs of a sub-init of a sub-init of the top-level init
receive a config check.
Issue #2600
If there is no debug/core-<kernel>.o library available, e.g., when
running a scenario in a fresh build directory where core is provided
via a depot package, the build_core_image step of the run tool was
canceled in the past, when trying to access the non-existing library.
This commit changes the semantic of build_core_image to link a core
binary with debug symbols only when the designated library is in place.
This fixup is related to issue #2339
* introduce new syscall (core-only) to create privileged threads
* take the privilege level of the thread into account
when doing a context switch
* map kernel segment as accessable for privileged code only
Ref #2091
* introduces central memory map for core/kernel
* on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000
* on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000
* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area
* differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB,
which now resides inside the kernel segment
Ref #2091
In the image.elf file, the very last boot module is followed
by arbitrary other core-local data. Since those boot modules are
exported as page-granular dataspace to the outside of core via core's
ROM service, we need to ensure that the last page is padded with zeros.
When building Genode on a Linux system running in a Xen Dom0, the 'xen'
run target can run a Genode scenario in a Xen DomU.
Usage: in build/x86_*/etc/build.conf, define:
RUN_OPT = --include boot_dir/$(KERNEL) --include image/iso --include power_on/xen --include log/xen --include power_off/xen
The Xen DomU runs in HVM mode and loads Genode from an ISO image. Serial
log output is printed to the console and graphical output is shown in an
SDL window.
The Xen DomU ist managed using the 'xl' command line tool and it is
possible to add configuration options in the 'xen_args' variable in a run
script. Common options are:
- disabling the graphical output:
append xen_args { sdl="0" }
- configuring a network device:
append xen_args { vif=\["model=e1000,mac=02:00:00:00:01:01,bridge=xenbr0"\] }
- configuring USB input devices:
append xen_args { usbdevice=\["mouse","keyboard"\] }
Note: the 'xl' tool requires super-user permissions and interactive
password input can be troublesome in combination with 'expect' and is not
practical for automatic tests. For this reason, the current implementation
assumes that no password input is needed when running 'sudo xl', which can
be achieved by creating a file '/etc/sudoers.d/xl' with the content
'user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/xl'
(where 'user' is the Linux user name).
Fixes#2504
This patch enables one to supply a list of arguments to
'install_config'. The arguments appear concatenated in the resulting
config file. This is useful for embedding dynamically generated content
into an otherwise static configuration. For example, in the following
config, the 'pkg' attribute of the '<query>' config node is defined by
the return value of the 'query_pkg' function:
install_config {
<config>
...
<start name="depot_query">
...
<config>
<query pkg="genodelabs/pkg/} [query_pkg] {"/>
</config>
</start>
</config>}
relocation is required, to avoid overlapping phdr in the elf binaries, but
sel4 will fail to boot if bender relocates the images at the end of physical
memory. Limit the physical relocation address to a fixed 256M value, so that
sel4 will work.
Issue #2451
The former use of 'arm_v7' as architecture was too unspecific. Depot
binary archives for Cortex-A8/A9 platforms should be generated for
the 'arm_v7a' architecture to define the required compile flags
(i.e., -march).
We do not have debug symbols in the bin/ binaries anymore. Thus, use the
debug/ binaries instead. We now have kernel specific binary names for
ld.lib.so and some others. Adapt, to this fact as well. For doing so
without unnecessary output, provide a new parameter "silent" at the
"kernel_specific_binary" procedure.
Ref #2398
Previously, the debugging version of the core image
(<build_dir>/var/run/<run_name>.core) was created by the run tool from
the common core object file
(<build_dir>/var/run/<run_name>/core-<kernel>.o). This object file,
however, was already stripped by the build system and thus didn't
contain debug info anymore. The build system also creates an unstripped
version in <build_dir>/debug/core-<kernel>.o, so we now use this one
for <build_dir>/var/run/<run_name>.core.
Ref #2254
This way, files copied from the depot are incorporated in addition to
the files explicitly specified as boot modules.
The patch also adds an automatic check for the validity of the XML
syntax of boot modules ending with '.config'.
Issue #2339
Run scripts can use the new 'import_from_depot' function to incorporate
archive content from the depot into a scenario. The function must be
called after the 'create_boot_directory' function and takes any number
of pkg, src, or raw archives as arguments. An archive is specified as
depot-relative path of the form <user>/<type>/name. Run scripts may
call 'import_from_depot' repeatedly.
An argument can refer to a specific version of an archive or just the
version-less archive name. In the latter case, the current version (as
defined by a corresponding archive recipe in the source tree) is used.
If a 'src' archive is specified, the run tool integrates the content of
the corrsponding binary archive into the scenario. The binary archives
are selected according the spec values as defined for the build directory.
As of now, only x86_32 and x86_64 are supported by the 'depot_spec'
function.
Issue #2339
By installing the core object to bin/, we follow the same convention as
for regular binaries. This, in turn, enables us to ship core in a
regular binary archive. The patch also adjusts the run tool to pick up
the core object from bin/ for the final linking stage.
'unzip' can uncompress and load raw multiboot images and ELF files.
Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running the muen hypervisor
together with a Genode/x86_64 VM, where the raw boot image is typically quite
large.
Ref #2358
This enables to use append_if like the append command in the following
situation.
proc optional_binary {} {...}
append_if $optional config {
<start name="} [optional_binary] {">
...
}
Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap
the kernel resp. core.
Ref #2092
Instead of implicitly asking for core's link address when linking
core within the run tool, deliver it explicitly to the build_core
routine. Thereby we gain the freedom to use the build_core tool for
different targets like core, and bootstrap.
