The PGD constants refer to the top level mapping object used by the
kernel for its own private mappings. Userlevel cannot create any PGD
objects and so these constants don't belong in libsel4.
Added support for reading and writing additional virtual timer
registers for vcpu hw read and write accesses. These include the
compare value register (CNTV_CVAL) and offset register (CNTV_OFF),
each represented as two 32 bit (high and low) registers on aarch32 and
as single 64 bit registers on aarch64.
Added support for explicitly saving and restoring the virtual
timer registers when the vcpu is enabled and disabled. This
ensures when the vcpu is switched in and out, the virtual timer
registers are restored to a state that is consistent to when
it was last run.
By default the CNTVOFF register will be updated by the kernel to
accumulate the time the VCPU is not running. From the guest this will
result in the VCNT register not increasing when the VCPU is suspended.
This behavior can be turned off by disabling the
KernelArmVtimerUpdateVOffset config option.
This commit introduces a new fault type, seL4_Fault_VPPIEvent.
This change means the kernel can reserve PPI interrupts and virtualise
them via delivering the irq to the active vcpu through a
specific fault. This enables multiplexing PPI IRQs across multiple VCPUS
which requires correctly masking and unmasking the IRQ depending on
which VCPU is running.
A new VCPU invocation, seL4_ARM_VCPU_AckVPPI is also added for
acknowledging the handling of the IRQ. This takes an IRQ as a parameter
but will only accept IRQ numbers that are sent as VPPIEvent faults.

For some reason the kernel documented and maintained constants for a
512MiB 'huge page' in riscv32 which is not part of the specification.
The references and constants are removed
Translation validation reports errors using the "real" struct type name
instead of the typedef name, so having anonymous structs makes debugging
translation validation harder.
Relates to #168. The definition for `seL4_UntypedRetypeMaxObjects` lives
in the UAPI `types.h` but appears to have no link to the value actually
used by the kernel, which is configurable. This change sets the UAPI
definition to the generated definition from the kernel config steps and
defaults to the previous fixed value if, for some reason, the configured
definition is not available.
- Remove Remap function from seL4 API for arm, x86, riscv and the
respective invocation implementation.
- Update Map as replacement for Remap
- Update manual
This allows a change of rights if the frame being mapped is already
mapped in at the given vaddr. To map a page to a different address,
unmap it first.

This register is visible to software executing at EL0 but not writeable.
Storing it in the VCPU context required custom save/restore handling as
it had to be explicitly handled when switching from a VCPU thread to a
non-VCPU thread so that it didn't become a channel. It is possible to
now update this register via seL4_TCB_WriteRegisters for software
executing at EL0.
This also fixes a potential bug where if a vcpu-thread is switched for a
non-vcpu-thread and then switched to a different vcpu-thread the
original vcpu-thread's copy of this register will get set to 0.
Use the __ASSEMBLER__ macro to suppress C definitions from appearing in
non-C files when the preprocessor is used. Other libsel4/*/constants.h
files use this strategy to avoid duplicating definitions for seL4 object
sizes that can changed based on kernel configuration.
- seL4_TCB_Configure no longer takes a fault endpoint.
- seL4_TCB_SetSpace takes a cap in the callers cspace for the
fault endpoint, not the target tcbs.
- seL4_TCB_SetSchedParams now also takes a fault endpoint as above.
This change installs the fault endpoint cap into the tcb cnode
first validating it.
This means either of the functions that set it will now return an error
if the cap is not either a null cap or an endpoint with send and
grant rights.
Significantly, the cap passed to the function should be in the callers
cspace, not the target tcbs.
This allows users to define custom amounts of refills without
increasing the scheduling context size system wide.
also add libsel4 functions for refill size
This commit allows scheduling contexts to be bound
to notification objects. When a passive server
receives a notification it will receive the scheduling
context from the notification. When the server
blocks the scheduling context is returned.
This is the first part of the seL4 MCS. This commit:
* adds a scheduling context object. Threads without scheduling
context objects cannot be scheduled.
* replaces tcbTimeSlice with the scheduling context object
* adds seL4_SchedControl caps for each core
* adds seL4_SchedControl_Configure which allows users to configure
amount of ticks a scheduling context has, and set a core for the
scheduling context.
* adds seL4_SchedContext_Bind, Unbind and UnbindObject, which allows
a tcb to be bound to a scheduling context.
Update all scripts and build system to call python3, given python2's
upcoming doom. Use sys.maxsize instead of sys.maxint in one script
(maxint does not exist in python3).
This commit adds support for using a 40-bit physical addresses in
aarch64-hyp mode.
40-bit PA support is implemented by using a 3-stage translation, with a
13 bit page upper directory as the vspace root. PageGlobalDirectories
are not used in this configuration.
To use 40-bit PAs, platforms should set KernelArmPASizeBits40 to ON.

Depending on the physical address range the top level translation table
may be a page upper directory or a page global directory. Rename in
libsel4 the invocations on top level structures to be on an
seL4_ARM_VSpace rather than an seL4_ARM_PageGlobalDirectory.
On aarch64-hyp the virtual address translation structure can differ
depending on the physical address range. This commit prepares to support
more than a single physical address range by removing the assumption
that the top-level structure in a vspace is a PGD, replacing it with the
concept of a vspace_root.
Specifically:
- add and use macros to refer to vtable bitfield generator functions
- use the existing vspace_root_t type rather than pgde_t
- pull performASIDPoolInvocation into header
- add and use VSPACE_PTR rather than PGDE_PTR
- rename decodeARMVPageGlobalDirectoryInvocation to refer to VSpace
- update comments/error messages
- rename variables
Created a new syscall, seL4_DebugSendIPI for ARM to send arbitrary SGIs
(software generated interrupts) to arbitrary cores. As SGIs are
specifically PPIs (private interrupts), this syscall effectively allows
to trigger PPIs on arbitrary cores, for debug/testing purposes.
Some platforms and configurations do not allow user code to change the
value of the register used for TLS. On these architectures a syscall can
be used to allow the kernel to update the register on their behalf.
This does not immediately update the value in the user context on many
configurations as the values are only stored in the user context on a
context switch.
Switched appropriate naming conventions.
Was using the aarch64, have switched to aarch64 names.
TIPDRURW -> tpidr_el0
TPIDRURO -> tpidrro_el0
TPIDRPRW -> tpidr_el1
Switch TLS register on aarch32 from TPIDURO (tpidrro_el0) to tpidr_ro so
that it can be written to from user-land.
Thread ID registers tpidr_el0 have been added to the user context for
aarch32 and aarch64.
Only the thread ID that is writeable from EL0 is saved in the TCB and
saved/restored on context switch.
Thread IDs that are only changed within a VM (the read-only thread ID
for exception level 0 and the thread ID for exception level 1) are
stored in the VCPU and saved and stored as part of VM enable/disable.
Thread IDs that are only changed with VMs have been separated out into
hypervisor code.
The globals frame no longer serves its original purpose of informing a
thread of its IPC buffer address, and instead as a virtual
implementation of thread ID registers.
TLS_BASE virtual register is replaced with FS_BASE and GS_BASE virtual
registers.
The FS_BASE and GS_BASE virtual registers are moved to the end of the
context so they need not be considered in the kernel exit and entry
implementation.
Removed tracking of ES, DS, FS, and GS segment selectors on kernel entry
and exit.
ES and DS are clobbered on kernel entry with the RPL 3 selector for a
DPL 3 linear data segment.
FS is clobbered on exit with the RPL 3 selector for the DPL 3 segment
with FS_BASE as the base. This is done on exit to reload the value from
the GDT.
GS is clobbered on exit with the RPL 3 selector for the DPL 3 segment
with GS_BASE as the base. This is done on exit to reload the value from
the GDT.
Kernel entry and exit code is refactored, simplified, and improved in
light of the above changes.
x64: update verified config to use fsgsbase instr
The verification platform for x64 relies on the fsgsbase instruction.
This removes the assumption that each platform sotres the IPC buffer
address in a platform-specific register. The IPC buffer address is
instead stored in a thread-local variable in libsel4 which must be
initialised by the runtime.
