- when CONFIG_DEBUG is enabled, track all threads
- when CONFIG_PRINTING is enabled, provide seL4_DebugDumpScheduler which
allows the user to dump the state of the kernel scheduler.
Previously the #ifdefs for some debug syscalls relied on definitions
from Makefile.flags in sel4_tools. This changes them to use configs
defined in autoconf.h which makes them easier to import when building
projects that don't use sel4_tools.
This provides a future proof interface for extending the bootinfo region with additional
kinds of optional architecture and platform specific information. The basic idea is to
report the size of a region directly following the bootinfo frame, which is made up of
a series of 'chunks'. Each chunk has an identifier (describing what it is) and a length,
allowing unknown chunks to be skipped in favor of examining the remaining of the chunks.
CONFIG_LIB_SEL4_PUBLIC_SYMBOLS=y will disable inlining for external
interfaces (except deprecated functions), thereby providing public
symbols for easy linkage with other languages.
* commit '2e30ac481f212b3490fde8dbd13f496a50d70f49':
libsel4: Add remaining combinations of cap rights
libsel4: Removed stray semicolon from shared_types
This also moves the description of TCBSetEPTRoot from the general object
invocation xml file to the x86-specific one to prevent the need for
documentation-generating scripts to distinguish between VTX (ie. x86)
invocations, and truly architecture independent invocations.
JIRA: SELFOUR-606
The motivation for this change is the fact that the types of `true` and
`false` are different between userland and the kernel. This was forcing
code including shared_types.h to first include the appropriate header
defining `true` and `false`. This change prevents this need.
This change
* changes seL4_CapRights from the kernel to be seL4_CapRights_t in
libsel4
* deprecates the duplicated seL4_CapRights in libsel4, which is
now the bitfield generated type seL4_CapRights_t.
* fixes all usages in kernel and libsel4
Impact: for verification, this will require the type to change name
from cap_rights to seL4_CapRights_t.
This is a breaking libsel4 API change, although most code uses
seL4_AllRights or similar constants, which will not break
at a source level as these constants have been updated.
This is a *breaking API change*
This commit:
* makes seL4_Fault_tag_t common between the kernel and libsel4
* deprecates the existing functions from sel4/messages.h includes
* introduces a new fault API in sel4/faults.h and
* sel4/sel4_arch/faults.h
* deprecates seL4_GetTag(), as the function did not work without
the user calling seL4_SetTag() first (seL4_MessageInfo is passed
in registers and not set in the IPC buffer)
* removes previously deprecated functions (deprecated prior to 3.0.0)
* updates the seL4 manual to reflect the changes
Prior to this commit faults were separate
per architecture. This commit extracts the common
fault types and introduces arch specific faults,
reducing code duplication across architectures.
Removes the recycle operation and adds an operation
to cancel any badged sends on and endpoint. Calling
Revoke + CancelBadgedSend is equivalent to Recycle
on a badged endpoint
This reorders the bootinfo struct to place the untyped array as the
last element. Having the array at the end makes the layout of the
information in this struct easier to represent in other languages.
The lowest syscall number is -8, which doesnt' fit in 3 bits -> change
to 4.
Also, we were storing the -ve number, which also doesn't fit into 3
bits -> invert it when we store it.

This commit implements the body of SELFOUR-499. The API exposes the x86 DR0-7
and ARM coprocessor 14 features to userspace by virtualizing them as context-
switched registers in the TCB. Implemented as TCB invocations. This feature is
only built when CONFIG_HARDWARE_DEBUG_API is selected.
* Add low-level support routines for setting, unsetting, getting, enabling
and disabling breakpoints.
* Add support for single-stepping as well.
^ Single-stepping is not supported on ARMv6 since the hardware
doesn't have support.
^ ARM implements single-stepping as instruction breakpoints
configured to fault on every instruction -- this is achieved through
the "mismatch" mode, which is only supported from ARMv7 onwards.
* Also support explicit software break requests, a la "BKPT" and "INT $3".
* New invocations:
* seL4_TCB_SetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_GetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_UnsetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_ConfigureSingleStepping().
* New constants:
^ Event types:
^ seL4_InstructionBreakpoint.
^ seL4_DataBreakpoint.
^ seL4_SoftwareBreakRequest.
^ Access types:
^ seL4_BreakOnRead.
^ seL4_BreakOnWrite.
^ seL4_BreakOnReadWrite.
^ Exports:
^ seL4_NumHWBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveWatchpoints.
^ seL4_NumDualFunctionMonitors.
^ seL4_FirstBreakpoint.
^ seL4_FirstWatchpoint.
^ seL4_FirstDualFunctionMonitor.

Where MCP = Maximum Controlled Priority
This commit adds:
* seL4_TCB_SetMCPriority
and changes the arguments to
* seL4_TCB_Configure
As of this commit, a thread cannot create or set a threads
priority (including itself) above its mcp. Previously the kernel
did this check against a threads priority, which prevented a thread
from setting it's own priority down and then up again.
Kernel objects cannot be created from device untypeds, with the
exception of frames, which do not get zeroed and cannot be used
as an IPC buffer. Device untypeds additionally cannot be used
in the construction of ASID pools.
This then changes the API to the rootserver (i.e. bootinfo) to
send device untypeds instead of device frames. On ARM these
device untypeds are the same as the previously exported device
frame regions. On x86 PCI scanning is removed and all physical
memory addresses (that are not important for kernel integrity)
are released to the user.
In order to have bits in the frame and untyped caps on ARM the
number of software ASIDs had to be reduced from 2^18 to 2^17,
and the maximum untyped size reduced from 2^31 to 2^30
This adds a dummy header with syscall prototypes with doxygen comments.
The build process for the manual includes parsing these comments using
doxygen. Doxygen produces an xml file which is parsed by a script to
generate latex which is included in the manual. This approach was chosen
over doxygen's native latex output to gain greater control over the
formatting of the generated documentation, and to take advantage of
existing api-formatting support in the sel4 manual.
