problem compiling l4linux - arm
by Dennis Gessner 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi, I have some difficulties, compiling l4linux for arm. (I use the toolchain from http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/downloads/tools/arm-linux-3.4.4.tar.bz2.) Using the version from SVN (# svn co -N http://svn.tudos.org/repos/tudos/trunk tudos), I don't have any problems compiling fiasco or the l4env, but if I try to compile l4linux (... "repomgr co fiasco dice l4linux-2.6-env" ... and after disabling the VGA-Console) - I get the following error-message: --- l4linux-2.6 # make L4ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh <stdin>:91:1: warning: "__IGNORE_sync_file_range" redefined In file included from <stdin>:2: include/asm-l4/arm-arch/asm/unistd.h:444:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition <stdin>:1097:2: warning: #warning syscall fadvise64 not implemented <stdin>:1265:2: warning: #warning syscall migrate_pages not implemented <stdin>:1321:2: warning: #warning syscall pselect6 not implemented <stdin>:1325:2: warning: #warning syscall ppoll not implemented <stdin>:1365:2: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented CHK include/linux/compile.h GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 arch/l4/kernel/arch-arm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x824): In function `start_thread': /root/tudos/l4linux-2.6/include/asm-l4/arm-arch/asm/current.h:9: undefined reference to `l4env_load_initrd' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 --- How can I solve this error-message? By the way, using a l4linux Version from 2007-06-30 works very well, but there I have the problem, that the openmoko-kernel-patchset is made for linux 2.6.22.x and my 2007-06-30-Version is 2.6.21.x. Any help would be very welcome! Thanks, Dennis

about the L4Linux scheduler
by Lin 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hello. I have some questions about the scheduler system on DROPS L4Linux. I would like your help or some hints. The version of my source is ... DROPS SVN revision : 205 L4Linux SVN revision : 61 Fiasco version : 1.2 L4Linux version : 2.6.22 In L4Linux system (on L4Env), there are two schedulers (in Fiasco and in Linux server), you know. Some papers say any Linux user process consists of L4 task and the L4 shceduler schedules all L4 thread. It is ok, but I can't understand the work of the Linux scheduler. In fact, a new thread is created in L4 when a process (has one thread) is created in Linux, and the active thread is changed when the context switch occurs in Linux server (made sure by using Fiasco JDB). I want to make this relation clear. In other words, what does the Linux scheduler do at these time. 1. Task creating ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When "fork()" (or such functions) is called, the function: l4x_setup_next_exec (in "arch/l4/kernel/arch-i386/dispatch.c") may be called. This function seems push the argument function "ret_from_fork" to the stack of the new "task_struct" instance to execute it first when the task is scheduled. Then, when "fork()" ends (when "do_fork()" returns), the new "task_struct" instance is created in Linux system. At this time, is the L4 thread (task ?) corresponds to that "task_struct" is not created yet ? (I assume it is created after the "task_struct" is scheduled.) 2. Linux server's scheduling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In L4Linux task, there are 7 threads and IRQ threads: (1)l4lx.rm (2)l4lx.sem (3)l4lx.main (4)l4lx.tamer (5)l4lx.cpu0 (6)l4lx.timer.i0 (7)l4lx.idler ... "l4lx.main" creates "l4lx.cpu0" (Linux server) and waits this end. "l4lx.cpu0" does many initialization in the function "start_kernel()", and then it reaches at the function: l4x_idle (in "arch/l4/kernel/dispatch.c"). In this function, the Linux server creates the thread "l4lx.idler" and then enters the scheduling and IPC waiting loop. What does this function do ?? (My expectation about it is written in 4.) And more, What is the thread "l4lx.idler" used for ?? 3. Scheduled new Linux task ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The function "switch_to()" (depends on L4 arch) in Linux kernel only saves and restores the registers ESI, ..., ESP, and EIP. So, when all new created "task_struct"s are scheduled by the Linux server, they runs from "ret_from_fork" as the Linux server thread. (Is it right ?) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "ret_from_fork" reaches at the function: l4x_user_dispatcher (in "arch/l4/kernel/dispatch.c"). It calls "l4x_spawn_cpu_thread()" before its loop. I assume it creates the new L4 thread corresponds to the now scheduled "task_struct" in Linux server. And, the loop in "l4x_user_dispatcher" seems to reply or wait page fault, exception and system call IPCs from any L4 thread runs as a Linux user task. What does this loop do in fact ?? When the context switch occurs in Linux server for some reasons, the active L4 thread is also switched almost at the same time. (I see it by using "ps" on Linux and the thread list of JDB on L4.) I want to know the mechanism of this synchronization. 4. Summary ~~~~~~~~~~ My main quiestions is ... (1) What is "l4lx.idler" created for ? (in 2) (2) What does the function "l4x_idle" do ? (in 2) (3) Do all Linux user tasks ("task_struct" instance) only execute "l4x_user_dispatcher" (from "ret_from_fork") as the Linux server ? (in 1 and 3) (4) What does the function "l4x_user_dispatcher" do ? How to switch contexts in Linux and in L4 almost at the same time ? (in 3) My expectation about Linux scheduling system is the following: - When there is no need to reschedule Linux user processes, Linux server is in IPC sleep and waiting the wakeup IPC in "l4x_idle". - If Linux server gets IPC for some reasons, it wakes up and check the IPC sender. Then, if the sender is a thread corresponds to certain Linux task, Linux server wakes up this Linux task and reschedules by calling "schedule()". - The waked up task will be active as Linux server. This context may execute only "l4x_user_dispatcher" which replies and wait IPCs and handles page faults and exceptions based on information of the received IPC. - When the L4 thread of the Linux task exits, that Linux task in Linux (task_struct instance) also is freed. If there is no schedulable task in Linux at that time, the original context (executes "l4x_idle") is re-scheduled. If you find my incorrect understanding, please tell me. Sorry for my poor English and lengthy question. I'm glad if you give me some hints or corrections. Regards, Lin (a college student in Japan)

Not yet. This time without dope in ttyLv0 the booting log is: proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) Starting udevd: /sbin/udevd --daemon error initializing netlink socket Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevtrigger Adding 491864k swap on /dev/hda1. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:491864k Setting system time from the hardware clock (localtime). Testing root filesystem status: read-write filesystem *** ERROR: Root partition has already been mounted read-write. Cannot check! For filesystem checking to work properly, your system must initially mount the root partition as read only. Please modify your kernel with 'rdev' so that it does this. If you're booting with LILO, add a line: read-only to the Linux type 'lilo' to reinstall it. If you boot from a kernel on a floppy disk, put it in the drive and type: rdev -R /dev/fd0 1 If you boot from a bootdisk, or with Loadlin, you can add the 'ro' flag. This will fix the problem *AND* eliminate this annoying message Press ENTER to continue. But now I can't use keyboard. I have tried to make l4linux with keyboard module and without keyboard module twice. I can't still use keyboard, too. What is the matter? Cheng Guanghui

So I think it is a bug of glic problem. If google finds many pages with something this doesn't mean all those pages show the truth just because they are so many. Using -fno-stack-protector is fine as long as _all_ code is compiled with this option. When linking against code that is built _with_ the stack-protection feature enabled that compile time option won't help you. This happens e.g. when linking against libraries supplied by gcc. On Ubuntu those libraries are built with the stack protection feature enabled. To fix this you either rebuild gcc-libs with stack protection or provide those symbols. The latter seems far more convenient. > > > The first question: > > > the l4 boot log is like this: > > > l4lx | l4lx_thread_create: Created thread 10.16 (IRQ5) > > > l4lx | l4lx_irq_dev_startup_hw: Starting IRQ thread for IRQ 4. > > > l4lx | l4lx_thread_create: Created thread 10.17 (IRQ4) > > > l4lx | l4lx_irq_dev_startup_hw: Starting IRQ thread for IRQ 3. > > > l4lx | l4lx_irq_dev_startup_hw: Starting IRQ thread for IRQ 2. > > > l4lx | acquire_irq: Error attaching to IRQ 2 > > > l4lx | l4lx_thread_create: Created thread 10.19 (IRQ2) > > > l4lx | l4lx_irq_dev_startup_hw: Starting IRQ thread for IRQ 1. > > > l4lx | acquire_irq: Error attaching to IRQ 1 > > > It seems that when attaching IRQ1, IRQ2, IRQ9, IRQ12 there are some > > > errors like "acquire_irq: Error attaching to IRQ x".

When using ttyLv0 as a console you also need to start a getty there, similar to an ttyS0 entry. Otherwise no login prompt will appear there. My inittab looks a bit different but I don't see some obvious reasons why yours isn't popping up a login-prompt on tty1, at least on the first glance.
