base-linux uses seccomp to reduce the available system calls
to the minimum set needed to run base-linux. There are still
some syscalls that allow accessing global state which should
be further reduced.
The combination of seccomp and socket descriptor caps should
provide an intermediate level of security for base-linux
thereby enabling base-linux as a migration path from using
the Linux kernel to the use of microkernel-based Genode.
Fixes#3581
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.
This patch replaces the former Noux instance by a sub init that hosts
the combination of VFS + fs_rom + bash. If bash exits, the whole sub
init exits, which implicitly tears down the terminal session used by the
sub init. The latter is expected by the test sequence.
Issue #3696
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
The check was accidentally in
66d44289e1 tool/ports: streamline hash tool usage
because $(call VAR, ...) just expands to nothing without errors if VAR
is undefined.
Introduce 'XZ_THREADS' to override the default number of threads used
for compression, which is still set to '1'. As using multiple threads
will increase the amount of memory needed during the compression and
potentially influences the size of the created archive, setting the
variable limits the impact.
Fixes#3431.
In case RUN_OPT_AUTOPILOT is changed on consecutive calls of "autopilot
--keep", the changes are now effectively propagated to the run tool.
I also documented the RUN_OPT_AUTOPILOT environment variable.
Replace the notion of board-specific platforms by clear definition
architecture and board.
Also added new command line switch for "targets"
-t <target> test target as triple of architecture-board-kernel,
e.g., arm_v7a-pbxa9-hw
