1G memory for L4Linux on Panda
by Владимир Шилкин 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hello, When allow L4Linux using more than 512M of memory, user level apps execution can cause ‘Segmentation fault’ or glibc error. For example run 'find' command on fresh booted system. We use PandaBoard. To configure system use 1Gb RAM we set in src/l4/mk/platforms/pandaboard.conf PLATFORM_RAM_SIZE_MB = 1024 Best Regards, Vladimir

Build of ipcmon under Ubuntu 12.04
by Dustin Oprea 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

I'm currently stuck on building due to the ipcmon subproject and a "__sprintf_chk" error under Ubuntu 12.04: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libsupc++.a(cp-demangle.o): In function `.L741': (.text+0x4088): undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libsupc++.a(cp-demangle.o): In function `.L747': (.text+0x45c3): undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libsupc++.a(cp-demangle.o): In function `.L747': (.text+0x473b): undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libsupc++.a(cp-demangle.o): In function `.L747': (.text+0x4833): undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libsupc++.a(cp-demangle.o): In function `d_print_mod_list': (.text+0x62e9): undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk' make[3]: *** [ipcmon] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dustin/tudos.build/l4/pkg/ipcmon/server/src/OBJ-x86_586-l4v2' make[2]: *** [/home/dustin/tudos.build/l4/pkg/ipcmon/server/src/OBJ-x86_586-l4v2] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dustin/tudos/l4/pkg/ipcmon/server/src' make[1]: *** [src] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dustin/tudos/l4/pkg/ipcmon/server' make: *** [server] Error 2 I tried disabling the substitution. According to the GCC documentation, any one of three separate options will do it: -fstack-protector Emit extra code to check for buffer overflows, such as stack smashing attacks. This is done by adding a guard variable to functions with vulnerable objects. This includes functions that call alloca, and functions with buffers larger than 8 bytes. The guards are initialized when a function is entered and then checked when the function exits. If a guard check fails, an error message is printed and the program exits. NOTE: In Ubuntu 6.10 and later versions this option is enabled by default for C, C++, ObjC, ObjC++, if none of -fno-stack-protector, -nostdlib, nor -ffreestanding are found. So, I added all three of the options (at the bottom) to binary.inc: CXXFLAGS+= $(BID_CFLAGS_GSTAB) $(BID_CFLAGS_OMIT_FP) CXXFLAGS+= $(CXXFLAGS_$(OSYSTEM)) CXXFLAGS+= $(CXXFLAGS_$(@:.o=.cc)) $(CXXFLAGS_$(@:.o=.cc)_$(OSYSTEM)) CXXFLAGS+= $(CXXFLAGS_$(@:.o=.cpp)) $(CXXFLAGS_$(@:.o=.cpp)_$(OSYSTEM)) CXXFLAGS+= $(OPTS) $(filter-out -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes,$(WARNINGS)) CXXFLAGS+= -fno-common -fno-stack-protector -nostdlib -ffreestanding I also added the same options on to the back of CFLAGS, just to be thorough. This is the output. As you can see, they make it into the command-line (there's some duplication due to our redundant adds), but I'm still getting the same error: ...

I then thought "maybe it's the GCC version", since your list of dependencies indicates GCC 3 (my version is 4.6.3). So, I tried 3.0.4, 3.1.0, and 3.4.6, but none of them would build due to hard build errors (clearly, I'm missing some required flags). I'd appreciate some help with this error. Obviously, I'd prefer Ubuntu, but what distributions would you suggest for building? Dustin

Re: Build of ipcmon under Ubuntu 12.04
by Dustin Oprea 11 Oct '12

Bjoern: I've already run through the process at the L4RE link, and got the "hello" example booting in a VirtualBox instance. However, I want a full-environment.. I want a command-prompt. I'd also like to build the DOpE GUI (just to be complete). All I see there is useful only for module development and kernel development, but no instructions on how to get a full system running. Where do I go for help on that? These ambiguities are one of the reasons it has taken me so long to sit down and work on DROPS. There are many paths that seem similar to an outsider. Perhaps the group can take that old website down, for the further clarity to the outsiders and the peace-of-mind of the insiders?
