fprintf(stderr, ...) fails
by Arthur Mielimonka 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello, for my project I'm using sources, which heavily make use of code like this: fprintf (stderr, "...."); Even if compiling works fine, the executions of the program failes with the following error message, when the program reaches the respective code: Program| OSKit support: using 4096KB at 0x00100000 as heap Program| Program| Exiting with rc=-2147467262 No error occurs on printf("..") - commands. I am using the "l4env_freebsd" mode, but even in "l4env" mode an (another) error occurs. I'm starting fiasco-ux with the command: ./fiasco-ux -m 256 -l names -l name_server -l dm_phys -l log -l simple_ts -l Program Thanks for any help, Arthur

dde_linux26 down_trylock bug
by Wei Shen 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi, In dde_linux26/include/ARCH-x86/asm/semaphore.h: static inline int down_trylock(struct semaphore * sem) { return l4semaphore_try_down(&sem->l4_sema); } It seems incorrect. Maybe it should be: static inline int down_trylock(struct semaphore * sem) { return (l4semaphore_try_down(&sem->l4_sema) != 1); } Regards, Wei

Failed Assertion @ auto/kmem.h:162
by Julian Grizzard 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

All, I'm upgrading my Fiasco/L4Linux setup to the latest CVS version. My machine is a Pentium IV with 1 Gig RAM. Using the same configuration that worked before, I've run into an assertion problem when the system boots with the latest CVS. Below is the contents of menu.lst, L4 kernel configuration (globalconfig.out), and the boot log showing the assertion error. Further, I cannot enter the kernel debugger with "k"; instead, the offending address changes to 0xf0014fc7 with the same assertion thus failing to enter the debugger. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks!

L4Linux on fiasco UX problem
by Jugwan Eom 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi, I tried runnig L4Linux on fiasco UX but it didn't work. I enabled three options for the L4Linux. (Exception IPC / Inter-task ex-regs syscall / Handle and preserve segments) I have no idea why l4linux causes the trap. Anyone could help me? Followings are log and disassembling of vmlinux. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ ./lx con /home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/fiasco -m 256 -symbols /home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/Symbols -lines /home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/Lines -rmgr /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/rmgr-ux -symbols -lines -sigma0 /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/sigma0-ux -fb_program /home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/ux_con -irq0 /home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/irq0 -t 32768 -G 640x480@16 -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/names -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/log -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/dm_phys -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/simple_ts -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/fuxfprov -n9 -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/rtc-ux -n10 -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/l4exec -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/con-ux -n12 -l /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/loader /home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/run /home/zugwan/boot/cfg/l4linux26.ux Fiasco-UX on Linux 2.6.10-5-386 (i686) Native Syscall Map: 0x1600 Mapped 256 MB Memory + 4096 KB Framebuffer + 4 MB Input Area on FD 3 Loading Module 0x00090000-0x00094dc0 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/sigma0-ux] Loading Module 0x00100000-0x001c61c0 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/rmgr-ux] Copying Module 0x0ea66000-0x0ea843d6 [/home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/Symbols] Copying Module 0x0ea33000-0x0ea6518f [/home/zugwan/boot/fiasco_ux/Lines] Copying Module 0x0ea08000-0x0ea327ac [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/names] Copying Module 0x0e9e1000-0x0ea0745f [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/log] Copying Module 0x0e982000-0x0e9e000d [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/dm_phys] Copying Module 0x0e953000-0x0e981b65 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/simple_ts] Copying Module 0x0e8b1000-0x0e95281f [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/fuxfprov] Copying Module 0x0e88e000-0x0e8b0273 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/rtc-ux] Copying Module 0x0e7a1000-0x0e88dd64 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/l4exec] Copying Module 0x0e6d9000-0x0e7a0c7f [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/con-ux] Copying Module 0x0e619000-0x0e6d8a04 [/home/zugwan/boot/l4bin/loader] Bootstrapping...

ANNOUNCE: NICTA embedded OS framework released
by Gernot Heiser 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

The NICTA ERTOS team is pleased to announce the fist official release of its embedded OS framework, consisting of: * NICTA::Pistachio-embedded, the first kernel conforming to the L4-embedded API. NICTA::Pistachio is based on L4Ka::Pistachio; * Iguana, an L4-based OS personality developed specifically for embedded systems; * Kenge, a set of packages for building microkernel-based systems; * Wombat, a de-privileged (para-virtualised) Linux server running on top of L4/Iguana. Presently the full package works on ARM and x86 platforms. MIPS64 is fully supported except for Wombat (which is due for release shortly) and an Alpha version is not far behind. The system is very mature (in commercial deployment); NICTA::Pistachio-embedded is the fastest and most mature L4 kernel on ARM. See also the http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/Research/news/.

Re: What happens on timeslice overrun?

When you say "it's preempted by its preempter thread", do you mean the situation when a preempter with a higher priority than the current thread receives a preemption IPC from the kernel and thus preempts the current thread? RW> Who will get the left 10ms? I guess nobody. When a thread is preempted (that means it gets involuntarily descheduled), the remaining time quantum is saved and later restored when the thread is scheduled again. If the thread yields its scheduling context (that means it voluntarily gives it away), the time quantum is no longer available to the thread. A yield can happen in two ways depending on the target thread id specified: 1) if the target ID is the NIL_ID, then the thread yields its active scheduling context to noone - the time is effectively gone. This is what next_reservation does. Note that the kernel checks the user-specified ID, to guard against the case where a thread wants to yield its active scheduling context and the time quantum on that scheduling context expires simultaneously. 2) if the target ID is a valid thread ID in the system, then the action depends on whether the specified thread is ready to run: a) if it is, then the current thread donates the current scheduling context to the specified thread and that thread then becomes the current thread. This is similar to what happens during a donating IPC. b) if the specified thread is not ready, then the current scheduling context is gone, similar to 1) RW> Or can I assign my left time to a specific RW> thread, say ts2 of thread 1, that is has 20ms RW> after recognizing that ts1 was finished 10ms RW> earlier?I could do with l4_rt_change_timeslice(), RW> but this would probably not work for the the RW> current period! (or yes?) A thread can yield the current scheduling context to another thread as described in 2a) above. Note that the thread will yield the current scheduling context (which may not necessarily be the thread's own active scheduling context). As an example consider: A sends a donating IPC to B, now B runs on A's scheduling context. If B yields to C, then C will run on A's time and B will not donate its own scheduling context. If the current scheduling context is in fact the active scheduling context of the donating thread, then realize that the donating thread will likely encounter a timeslice overrun soon after the yield (the donatee will consume the time quantum until it runs out). If you'd rather avoid that, then the donatee will have to yield the scheduling context back to the owner (the original donator) who then has to yield it to noone. Changes to the time quantum of a scheduling context are only visible the next time that scheduling context becomes the current scheduling context. That means if you change the current scheduling context, then the change will not be visible immediately. RW> 2.) Consider we have a deadline miss.

If your thread misses its deadline right before it wanted to call l4_rt_next_period, then l4_rt_next_period blocks the thread until the end of the new period started due to the deadline miss. Since this is likely not what the thread intended to do, it's the preempter's job to handle that situation, e.g. by ex_regs'ing the thread out of it's l4_rt_next_period call.

how do I...
by Michael Scheibel 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Good evening, I am currently playing around with L4Linux+DOpE and would like to 1. Start and kill L4 processes at runtime (fprov-l4 and run-l4 do not work). 2. Disable the DOpE mouse pointer in the L4Linux console window. 3. Resize the L4Linux console window without just stretching it. 3. Play Quake :) (where do I get it?) Any hints highly appreciated.

Building Fiasco-UX
by Marko Wolf 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hi, since several weeks (including now) I can't compile the FIASCO UX target without patching the ../build/auto/std_macros.h file from your CVS. I think it has something to do with the inline definition since the following patch in std_macros.h solves it. #ifndef noinline #define noinline noinline #endif Unfortunately, I have to apply it for every new UX build. Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Best regards Marko PS: The default kernel config (+UX, +UX_CON, +UX_NET) is attached. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ...

[Emscb] Building Fiasco-UX
by Marko Wolf 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hallo, schon seit längerem (einschließlich der aktuellen Version) von Fiasco bekommen ich und andere beim Kompilieren (w/ gcc 3.3.6) (nur) zum Fiasco-UX Target immer nachfolgende Fehlermeldung, welche vermutlich an einer fehlenden inline Definition liegt. Zumindest müssen wir das ..build/auto/std_macros.h bei jedem UX-Build immer wie folgt patchen: #ifndef noinline #define noinline noinline #endif Gibt es da eine bessere Lösung oder machen wir etwas falsch?
