Physical memory allocation to L4linux

[Masti Ramya Jayaram]

Hey Martin,

I would like to explain my situation better. Here is what I intend:

a. What is the lowest module (bootstrap, fiasco, sigma, moe, ned,l4linux) that can be confined not access a portion of the address space?
I know that bootstrap and fiasco run in privileged mode, so there is no way to stop them. What is the next module?

b. Assuming that it is sigma, I would like to do the following:
 Have three regions in the physical address space (not necessarily memory): 

i) one for bootstrap, fiasco 
ii) moe, ned, sigma, l4linux
iii). Special region accessible only from (i) - bootstrap and fiasco.

If it is not possible to confine sigma, i.e., "hide a portion of the address space from it", then add sigma to lists (i,iii) and remove it from (ii) - and so on for the other modules.

If it is moe, could my goal be reached by adding an IO device as a blocker but then not give moe the corresponding capability?

Sorry for the confusion and thanks a lot for your help,
Ramya

Hey Martin,

thanks for that tip. How do I use this device for L4linux though (and only for it)? I am not sure where memory allocation occurs when L4linux faults or if it is pre-allocated completely to L4linux.

Best,
ramya

MYRAM => new Device() {
   .hid= "myram";
   new-res Mmio(0x10000000 .. 0x13FFFFFF, 0xC000);
}
