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>}
- Update FatFS port from 0.07e to 0.13
- Multi-device support
- Basic test at run/fatfs
- Adaption of existing components
Note, ffat is now consistently renamed to fatfs.
Ref #2410
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 new version of the test exercises the combination of fs_report with
ram_fs and fs_rom as a more flexible alternative to report_rom.
It covers two corner cases that remained unaddressed by fs_rom and
ram_fs so far: First, the late installation of a ROM-update signal
handler at fs_rom right before the content of the file is modified.
Second, the case where the requested file is not present on the file
system at the creation time of the ROM session. Here, the ram_fs missed
to inform listeners for the compound directory about the later created
file.
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).
When building with multiple jobs, the 'Makefile' rule may be executed
before any of its sibling rules, which implicitly create the target
directory. In this case, the attempt to create the symlink for
'Makefile' fails and the 'build_bin_archive' aborts. Analogously to the
sibling rules, this fix creates the target directory as a side effect of
the 'Makefile' rule.
This patch makes the build step of the create tool conditional. If
merely creating api, src, pkg, or raw archives, the invocation of the
'build' tool can be skipped. Otherwise, the heap message for the 'build'
tool is displayed (because it is called w/o any arguments), which is
misleading to the user.
The depot tool did not consistently distinct libraries from regular
targets when handling binary archives. The binary archive of a regular
target is located at <user>/<bin>/<arch>/<name> whereas a library is
located at <user>/<bin>/<arch>/<api>/<name>.
Fixes#2438
This patch replaces the toy downloader (that merely copied files
locally, for testing) with the mechanics needed to download files from a
www server.
It also changes the use of GPG to use detached signatures.
Issue #2339
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
Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:
* GDB extensions for Fiasco.OC
* i.MX53 support for Fiasco.OC
* Kernel debugger terminal driver
* Obsolete interface Native_pd
* Obsolete function of interface Native_cpu
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.
