584a90eae2 Docker: start migrating to 20.04
Still failing with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "util/cpt_upgrader.py", line 73, in <module>
    from six.moves import configparser
ImportError: No module named six.moves

Also fix some issues noticed:

- userland/c/atomic was not ignoring arch specific examples
- ./build would not stop on the first error, now it does
- add libhdf5-dev as a dependency of gem5

d1003f1cb2 Make this repo good enough to move in cpp-cheat, x86-assembly-cheat and arm-assembly-cheat in
This commit is a large squash, the full development branch is available at:
https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/tree/asm

This notably means a refactor of the userland build and testing, to support:

- improved assembly infrastructure unified across arm and x86
- native in-tree build and test helpers
- parallel building and testing, which implies thread_pool.py
- selection of what to build and test from the CLI
- path_properties.py to indicate how to build and run different examples
- in full system, move all userland stuff into /lkmc
- prefix everything that we defined across files with LKMC
- --gdb uber convenient helper
- remove import imp which was deprecated

Full commit messages from the branch follow:

1:

userland: add assembly support

Move arm assembly cheat here, and start some work on x86 cheat as well.

2:

document userland asm syscall interfaces

3:

userland assembly: structure readme

4:

x86 fail works

5:

asm: more links

6:

userland: add ported to all archs

7:

move all our stuff into /lkmc in guest

Motivation: userland is getting several new subdirectories, it would be
too insane to just dump all of that in the guest root filesystem.

To alleviate the cd pain, .profile puts user inside /lkmc by default.

8:

start the big userland migration

9:

migrate all

10:

bak

11:

build-userland-in-tree is now a Python command

./build calls it, we did this to allow --download-dependencies to work
perfectly.

12:

rename include to lkmc

13:

mtops.h is perfect now

14:

userland: make build perfect

15:

preparing test_user_mode, need to generalize stuff as usual

16:

asm: prefix every linux specific with linux/

17:

userland: maybe it really works

18:

userland: fix kernel version to work on older ubuntu

Expose --kernel-version to allow customization.

Update LTP info.

19:

userland: build really truly working now

userland test: start work, in a working state, but no features

20:

test-user-mode: make perfect like build-userland

Multithreading and target selection.

21:

userland: get a bit closer to perfection

22:

thread_pool: support passing thread IDs

Then use that to fix gem5 error log read race.

23:

userland: native testing

24:

userland: path properties getting nice!

25:

userland: move posix/environ from cpp-cheat

26:

gem5: --debug-flags without =, looks nicer whenever it can be done

27:

run: rename --wait-gdb in --gdb-wait, --gdb prefix might become a thing

28:

run: create --tmux-program gdb to open gem5 GDB

29:

run: create the uber convenient --gdb option

30:

userland: move getchar from cpp-cheat

31:

prebuilt: kernel boot aarch64 does not work on Ubuntu 16.04

32:

userland: x86_64 linux hello world make PIE

33:

userland: try to make userland executable selection saner

Only allow existing files to be built, stop extension expansion madness.

cli_function: get_cli print booleans properly, was printing without --no-
for negations.

34:

userland: only link to lkmc.o if needed

35:

path_properties: make data very compact with only tuples and dicts

Spend 2 hours of my life thinking about low value tree walks ;-)

36:

userland: move more userland/arch/ logic into property tree

37:

userland: make libs work

Working for build, but now test-user-mode-in-tree is not using --in-tree,
TODO fix later on.

38:

userland: make libs really work

39:

userland: document path_properties

40:

userland: classify linux

41:

waste your life

42:

common: fix absolute path runs

--gdb: allow running from arbitrary directory

43:

baremetal: arm allow using floating point instructions

44:

baremetal: stat preparing to make perfect like userland/

45:

run: fix image check logic accounting for userland

Was failing if I try to run userland (with abspath) when out/
directory is not present.

46:

cli-function: raise if the config file is given and does not exist

47:

common: define missing 'ld' variable, this broke m5 build

48:

rum: --qemu-which host now works for user mode as well as system

Don't fall back on host QEMU automatically, too much insanity.

49:

userland: refix silly mistakes

50:

userland: use path_properties flags for all builds, including lkmc. and userland/arch/main.c

Without this in particular, --gdb fails on assembly because main.c
was not being built with -ggdb3.

51:

userland: start refactor to show failing values on failure!

aarch64 basically done, but missing:

- other archs
- maybe convert main.c into C++ to use templates?
- full review of ASSERT_EQ calling convention issues not seen by tests
  by chance
- documentation

52:

readme: releases are more stable...

53:

submodules: sort gitmodules

54:

test-baremetal: same interface as test-user-mode

In particular, runs tests in parallel, and allows selecting given tests

55:

baremetal: allow arbitrary exit status with the magic string

test-baremetal: fix missing setting x0 return value

Examples were just returning on ret without setting x0, which led to
failures... those were not noticed because of how broken the testing system
was ;-)

56:

baremetal: ah, actually nope, it didn't work :-(

Workaround for now. Works on asserts, but not on exit 1.

Some other day, maybe.

https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/issues/59

57:

panic on panic: improve behaviour description

58:

baremetal: get exit status working with on_exit :-)

59:

baremetal: implement C assert

60:

test-baremetal: remove commented out exit status workaround

61:

test-user-mode: handle exit status for signals. Fix #61.

62:

aarch64: fix ASSERT_EQ_REG tests on gem5

Was doing an 8-byte aligned store, which gem5 dislikes.

But the ARMARM says bad things may happen there, notably a signal:
"D1.8.2 SP alignment checking" so gem5 is not really too wrong,
QEMU just happens to work by chance.

63:

userland assembly: build empty.S and fail.S to toplevel and run fail.S with path_properties exit_status

They were just duplicating stuff needlessly while we don't support non-native in-tree builds,
which leads to executable conflicts for C file anyways.

64:

gem5: use a single build tree for all build types

gem5 already has different object names for each build type it seems, so
let's just make sure that works and save some disk space.

65:

userland x86_64: ASSERT_EQ show actual and expected values

66:

assert_fail.c: add to readme index

67:

userland x86_64: implement ASSERT_MEMCMP

68:

userland x86_64: allow ASSERT_EQ to take just about anything

69:

gas data sizes

70:

gas_data_sizes.S: make PIE for all ISAs

71:

x86: paddq

72:

x86 paddq: test entire family

73:

Get rid of imp, started giving deprecation warning every time in Python 3.7 in Ubuntu 19.04.

Please python stop torturing me with refactors.

Make ./run -u blow up if executable not found, otherwise I go crazy.

Get ./test-gdb back to life after the ./run relative path refactor, forgot to test this.

74:

fix run-toolchain, qemu-monitor, trace-boot, trace2line, bisect-linux-boot-gem5. Fixes part of #63

I'm sad no one reported qemu-monitor break, that one is kind of important.

count.out arguments broke it as an init program, since the kernel adds trash
parameters to every init.

Is anyone using this repo, I wonder? Keep pushing, keep pushing.
One day it gets good enough, and the whole world will see.

75:

x86 assembly: addpd

76:

Fix import_path circular dependency by splitting it out.

Use import thread_pool instead from, from is evil.

Fix poweroff.out path for ./trace-boot.

77:

run: rename cryptic tmu to tmux-split, ./run is good now so I never use it anymore explicitly

78:

assembly SIMD add: make uniform for all ISAs, mark as entry point to learning SIMD

79:

start moving arm-assembly-cheat readme in here

80:

arm assembly: move some more in

81:

move more arm in

82:

userland: attempt to fix all assembly example links to README

83:

assembly: improve organization of simd add

84:

ld2 move in

85:

Make userland / assembly getting started more uniform / visible

Forward --gcc-which to ./run --tmux.

Use gdb-multiarch for --gcc-which host.

86:

userland: disable PIE explicitly on command line for all executables

87:

userland: make userland content a better landing page

88:

build: check git version from --version and degrade gracefully

89:

build: make --dry-run work again on all

90:

import_path: importlib explicit for Ubuntu 16.04

91:

make all submodules point to my forks

git servers are insane, submodule implementation is crap, what can you do

92:

build: log warning on git too old for --update

93:

build-linux: do olddefconfig even if no fragments

In particular, gem5 kernel 4.15 needs it

94:

userland content: improve a bit landing page for cpp-cheat

da900a579c LKMC v3.0
This is a squash commit, the unsquashed development went through many
unstable phases which would break bisects. The unsquashed branch is:
https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/tree/v3.0-unsquash

The main improvement of this release was to greatly generalize the testing system.

The key addition was cli_function.py, which allows scripts such as ./run to
be transparently called either from Python or from the command line.

New tests scripts were created using this improved framework: test-baremetal
and test-user-mode.

We were lazy to port some of less important tests to the new setup, TODO's were
added, and we need comes they will be fixed. Getting started is however sacred
as usual and should work.

Other changes include:

-   gem5: update to 7fa4c946386e7207ad5859e8ade0bbfc14000d91

-   run: --tmux-args implies --tmux

-   run: add --userland-args to make userland arguments across QEMU and gem5

    Get rid of --userland-before as a consequence.

-   bring initrd and initramfs back to life

-   build-userland: create --static to make build a bit easier

-   gem5: --gem5-worktree also set --gem5-build-id

-   remove --gem5, use --emulator gem5 everywhere

    Allow passing --emulator multiple times for transparent tests selection
    just like --arch.

-   test-userland: allow selecting just a few tests

-   linux: update to v4.20

-   buildroot: update to 2018.08

    The main motivation for this was to fix the build for Ubuntu 18.10, which
    has glibc 2.28, which broke the 2018.05 build at the m4-host package with:

        #error "Please port gnulib fseeko.c to your platform!

-   getvar --type input

-   failed xen attempt, refactor timer, failed svc attempt, aarch64 use gicv3

-   build-doc: exit 1 on error, add to release testing

-   build: add --apt option to make things easier on other distros

-   build-linux: --no-modules-install

Initial motivation: modprobe. More to come most likely.
2018-11-06 00:00:01 +00:00
8fb9db3931 manually encode newlines on all printed commands
This way we group key value arguments: e.g.:

    make \
    -j 8 \
    all

instead of:

    make \
    -j \
    8 \
    all

and reach CLI nirvana, while also subtly breaking several commands due to
lack of testing.

56738a1c70 lkmc v2-rc
Unsquashed version at v2-rc-unsquashed, but that cannot be merged as it
breaks bisects at several points. All bugs will not bisect to this
humongous change.

It all started with a conversion of the Bash scripts to Python, mainly
because I couldn't stand not being able to properly use --options for
run which has a million options.

Then since that required a full testing, I decided to do all the
refactorings that I had in mind at once, and so I did and it became
v2-rc.

This is the largest patch I have ever done! OMG a few weeks of extra time.
I'm never writing a Bash script for anything that starts getting big again.

Some of the features are:

* separate build-qemu and build-gem5 commands
* common: convert scripts to python. Add --option for everything
* rename build to build-buildroot now that we are splitting all the build
  commands, Linux kernel to follow
* move all git submodules to submodules/ and all buildroot packages to
  packages/
* refactor the out/ structure. Keep projects on toplevel, because guest
  projects separate archs and host ones don't, making a toplevel arch wrong
* do-release: rename to just release
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16174992/cant-get-argparse-to-read-quoted-string-with-dashes-in-it
* run: add --terminal and explain gem5 pdb
* just track the lvimrc
* store CLI kernel config fragment inside buildlroot to avoid conflicts
* gem5: document m5 initparam
* readme: make a bunch of things awesomer
* readme: fix broken refs
* parsec-benchmark: update to 75d55ac446a43c47efb1044844a108c6c330184c
  Could not fetch otherwise.
* gem5: M5_OVERRIDE_PY_SOURCE
