The alignment of the tcb_t portion of a TCB object is going to be increased, this will
cause the total TCB size to overflow in some cases. This updates the definition of
seL4_TCBBits such that TCBs will be large enough after the alignment change.
Provides a syscall interface for reading and writing arbitrary MSR values. This is
being introduced as an alternative to the DebugRun, as the main purpose of debug run
is for modifying the performance monitoring events via read/write MSR.
Adds a named constant of the IPC buffer size bits that can be used when checking the
size/alignment of an IPC buffer. This constant has a compile time assertion to ensure
it corresponds to the actual IPC buffer
Changing the register used for the IPC buffer is useful as the standard TLS model for
aarch64 is to use tpidr_el0 for the thread pointer, which we are presently using
for the IPC buffer. This therefore paves the way for implementing proper TLS support
on aarch64.
Since we are not using tpidr_el0 for the IPC buffer we need to save/restore (or at
least clear) this register on thread switch to prevent it being a user channel. Saving
and restoring of it is achieved by ensuring CONFIG_IPC_BUF_TPIDRURW is not set, which
as we are no longer using this strategy this will be the case. To that end as aarch64
only has one IPC buffer strategy this commit makes the choice of IPC buffer strategy
dependeont on aarch32.
This commit implements lazy FP save/restore mechanism, required for user threads
when they use the FPU. The following caveats take place:
* Only support synchronous exceptions. No support for asynchronous ones.
* VFP opcodes are used instead of normal instructions to discard compiler warnings/errors.
* Support is limited to specific ARM subarchitectures we support and tested this commit on.
* Disable the FPU by default if users are not using it to avoid channels.
* FPU support is not verified yet.
* Will not work properly if using a VM that's running besides other VMs/threads that are using the FPU.
- 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.
There is no way to know how many entries the syscall log contains
otherwise. One option was iterating through until finding a 0
terminator, however this requires the log to be zeroed before each
trial. This changes the FinalizeLog syscall to return the number of
entries.
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.
* Adds object and cap definitions for VT-x structures (VCPU and EPT).
* Extends the asid_map implementation to support ASIDs in the EPT
* Adds size definitions for VCPU and EPT objects
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 '0435985eca5117a9df272e991fd0f8c421515831':
arm: Use new cap rights structures in iospace
libsel4: Correct VGIC and VCPU fault types
libsel4: Correct deprecated macro for in unknown syscall
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
