The question was resolved by myself and no more help needed :)
I spent a night reconfiguring Fiasco and L4Linux and reading the Mailing list
archive. And it appears that l4linux itself was configured correctly. But I
encountered a troubles with 'Mysterious double fault' when using QEMU that
could be overcome if disable 'Assembler IPC shortcut' option in Fiasco
configuration. Also I found that options in loader config file have
significant order of precedence. They should appear in the following order:
allow_cli
allow_vga
all_sects_writable
If all_sects_writable appears before allow_cli then loader says that l4linux
task is not allowed to do any I/O. It is really strange and non-obvious.
Also, some diversity in options order may lead to unresolved page faults and
GPFs like the GPF which I was asking for.
Someone can say it is very trivial but I spent a night to figure out the way
it works.
I just wanted to point these non-obvious moments to novices. (and, maybe,
developers of loader server -- what if to make these options order to be
non-significant? It could make loader behaviour more predictable.)
WBR,
