Currently external and internal preempters are not implemented. They may be released in a future version but I'm not sure about that. Jean -- I get up each morning, gather my wits.

Its me again :-)

Hello, lets see if I have this thing right. Lets say that main() creates a thread that will act as a scheduler. We'll call it sched. Now main() creates antoher thread that will have sched as its scheduler. sche() enters an infinite loop with a l4_i386_ipc_wait in it. Of course, it waits for an preemption RPC message. Now, when creating the second thread (lets call it task) with l4_thread_ex_regs, I put sched to be its preempter, anyway, sched() never gets the IPC and task() runs as if it never had any preempter asociated. Theres another thing, if inside main we put l4_thread_ex_regs to change task()'s eip and esp to (dword_t) -1 (this would likely stop task()) nothing happens, task() just runs normally. Any ideas ?? Cheers. PS: I didnt send any source code because its kind of long and I dont want to bother people w/unsolicited mail ;-), if anyone wants it please email me and ill be happy to send it Cervi~no Ulises <kermit(a)tower.com.ar> <ulises(a)rosario.linux.org.ar> ...............................................................................

Hello, Ive been having some problems while trying to request a page from sigma0. I have included the source code ... any help ? many thanks! ------[ source begins here ]------ #include <l4/types.h> #include <l4/syscalls.h> #include <l4/ipc.h> #include <stdio.h> #define SIGMA0_ID 4 void main(void) { l4_threadid_t sigma0; l4_msgdope_t msg, result; dword_t addr, type, foo, *r_add; addr = 0x80000; type = L4_IPC_SHORT_MSG; sigma0.id.task = SIGMA0_ID; sigma0.id.lthread = 0; r_add = 0x0; while(r_add == 0x0) { addr += 4096; /* pasamos a la siguiente pagina de 4K */ printf("Vamos a pedir la region de memoria 0x%x\n", addr); l4_i386_ipc_send(sigma0,(void *) type, addr, addr, L4_IPC_NEVER, &result); printf("ipc enviado ..."); l4_i386_ipc_receive(sigma0, L4_IPC_MAPMSG(addr, 4096), r_add, &foo, L4_IPC_NEVER, &result); printf("%p recivido\n", r_add); } *r_add = 'a'; r_add++; *r_add = 0x7; r_add --; if(*r_add == 'a') printf("BINGO!\n"); printf("Done!\n"); } Cervi~no Ulises <kermit(a)tower.com.ar> <ulises(a)rosario.linux.org.ar> ...............................................................................

Fiasco & oskit10
by Christian Stueble 21 Dec '99

Is it possible to compile fiasco based on oskit10? I think there are some files missing (flux/*/*)?? When compiling l4/pkg/oskit_support/lib/src/ I get an error message: --- ... Making rmgr_stubs.o {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}: Error: Symbol 'rmgr_pager_id' can not be both weak and common --- If I remove '__attribute__ ((weak))' it works. Is this a bug? I use egcs-2.91.66. -Chris- -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Christian Stueble............stueble(a)ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de PubKey[BF7104F5].......fp=8678C5D3CAD9CD8C F1DDB8EC202F116A To be or not to be is true...
