rCore-user

Build Status

User programs for rCore OS.

Now it has 6 parts:

  • ucore: C-lang, from the original ucore_os_lab
  • biscuit: C/C++, from Biscuit, based on a musl instead of original litc.
  • rust: Simple no_std Rust programs.
  • app: C-lang, custom test programs based on musl.
  • nginx, redis, busybox, alpine, gcc: Real world applications.
  • vmm: Simple VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) runs on top of RVM, can run the unmodified ucore_os_lab as a guest OS.

Build

Install prebuilt musl toolchain from musl.cc.

See Travis script 'install' section for details.

Then, build userspace programs for rCore:

$ make {ucore,biscuit,rust,nginx,redis,all} ARCH={x86_64,aarch64,riscv32,riscv64,mipsel}
$ make alpine ARCH={x86_64,aarch64} # if you want to use alpine rootfs
$ make test ARCH={x86_64} # test alpine real apps, e.g. python, gcc, rust, go, lua, etc.(need rootfs with these real apps)
$ make sfsimg ARCH={x86_64,aarch64,riscv32,riscv64,mipsel}

A rootfs is created at build/$(arch) and converted to qcow2.

How to run real world programs

How to use Redis

If redis is dynamically linked to musl (default if you use commands above), you might need to copy ld-musl-$(arch).so.1 to rootfs /lib by yourself .Alpine rootfs includes one as well.

After building redis, you should be able to run redis-server in rCore. Then, start redis-server in rCore:

/> redis-server redis.conf

Then you should be able to connect to it using redis-cli over the network:

$ redis-cli -h 10.0.0.2 get abc
(nil)
$ redis-cli -h 10.0.0.2 set abc def
OK
$ redis-cli -h 10.0.0.2 get abc
"def"

Note: redis-cli in rCore is not working at the time.

How to use nginx

Nginx is statically linked to musl instead, so there is no need to copy its dynamic loader. A nginx.conf is provided in this repo and automatically copied to its destination. So, just start nginx directly:

/> nginx

Then you should be able to visit it via network:

$ curl http://10.0.0.2/

Note: nginx might lead to an unresolved file system bug, so you might need to re-create sfs img after killing it.

Note: if you want to run nginx in rCore with qemu, you have to set net = on when make run. After that, configure the ip of new device tap0.

# Commands on linux
make run net=on ARCH={riscv32,riscv64,x86_64,aarch64,mipsel}
# in qemu
./nginx
# then in a new cmd, "ip link show" will present a new device tap0
sudo ifconfig tap0 10.0.0.1
ping 10.0.0.1 # success
curl 10.0.0.2 # rCore root directory structure is returned

How to use gcc

First, download prebuilt musl toolchain from musl.cc, for example x86_64-linux-musl-cross.tgz. Untar it into build/x86_64 directory. You are expected have a build/x86_64/x86_64-linux-musl directory now.

To build a simple C program, printf.c for example:

$ x86_64-linux-musl-cross/bin/x86_64-linux-musl-gcc printf.c -c -o printf.o
$ x86_64-linux-musl-cross/bin/x86_64-linux-musl-ld -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 x86_64-linux-musl-cross/x86_64-linux-musl/lib/crt1.o x86_64-linux-musl-cross/x86_64-linux-musl/lib/crtn.o x86_64-linux-musl-cross/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-musl/8.3.0/crtbeginS.o x86_64-linux-musl-cross/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-musl/8.3.0/crtendS.o printf.o -o printf -lc -static

You can now run the produced program:

$ printf
Built within rCore

Note: the long linker args can be replaced by invoking gcc instead later when we fix the problem. If you encountered rcore-fs-fuse panicking, consider upgrading it to latest version.

How to test real alpine apps

simple test for alpine minifs with little apps

1. make alpine ARCH=x86_64
2. make test ARCH=x86_64
3. make sfsimg ARCH=x86_64
4. cd $(RCORE_ROOT)/kernel; make run ARCH=x86_64 mode=release

test gcc/go/python2/python3/ruby/lua/java/rust

1. download x86_64.qcow2.realapps.xz from cloud tsinghua
2. xz -d x86_64.qcow2.realapps.xz; mv x86_64.qcow2.realapps x86_64.qcow2
3. mv x86_64.qcow2 $(RCORE_ROOT)/user/build
4. cd $(RCORE_ROOT)/kernel; make run ARCH=x86_64 mode=release

How to run uCore in rCore

Clone this repo recursively with rcore-vmm and ucore_os_lab:

$ git clone https://github.com/rcore-os/rcore-user.git --recursive

Build with EN_VMM=y:

$ make sfsimg ARCH=x86_64 EN_VMM=y

Build and run rCore with HYPERVISOR=on:

$ cd $(RCORE_ROOT)/kernel
$ make run mode=release ARCH=x86_64 HYPERVISOR=on

Run the vmm app in rCore shell:

Hello world! from CPU 0!
/ # cd vmm
/vmm # ./vmm
rvm fd = 3
vmid = 1
UCORE_BIOS_ENTRY = 0x9000
[INFO] success to map ucore.img to ide base:disk = 0:0
[INFO] success to add empty disk 134217728 bytes, base:disk = 0:1
[INFO] success to map sfs.img to ide base:disk = 1:0
vcpu_id = 1

(THU.CST) os is loading ...

Now uCore is booting and your can get uCore's shell soon.
