This patchset is to ask opinions from folks, whether LKL codes is good to
integrate into UML code base. We wish to have any kind of feedback from
your kind reviews. There are numbers of commits which should be asked for
reviews to other mailing lists; we will do it later once we got discussed
in this mailing list.
Changes in rfc v3:
- use UML drivers (net, block) from LKL programs
- drop virtio device implementations
- drop mingw32 (Windows) host
- drop android (arm/aarch64) host
- drop FreeBSD (x86_64) host
- drop LD_PRELOAD (hijack) support
- update milestone
rfc v2:
- use UMMODE instead of SUBARCH to switch UML or LKL
- tools/lkl directory is still there. I confirmed we can move under arch/um
(e.g., arch/um/lkl/hosts). I will move it IF this is preferable.
- drop several patches involved non-uml directory
- drop several patches which are not required
- refine commit logs
- document updated
LKL (Linux Kernel Library) is aiming to allow reusing the Linux kernel code
as extensively as possible with minimal effort and reduced maintenance
overhead.
Examples of how LKL can be used are: creating userspace applications
(running on Linux and other operating systems) that can read or write Linux
filesystems or can use the Linux networking stack, creating kernel drivers
for other operating systems that can read Linux filesystems, bootloaders
support for reading/writing Linux filesystems, etc.
With LKL, the kernel code is compiled into an object file that can be
directly linked by applications. The API offered by LKL is based on the
Linux system call interface.
LKL is originally implemented as an architecture port in arch/lkl, but this
series of commits tries to integrate this into arch/um as one of the mode
of UML. This was discussed during RFC email of LKL (*1).
The latest LKL version can be found at https://github.com/lkl/linux
Milestone
=========
This patches is a first step toward upstreaming *library mode* of Linux kernel,
but we think we need to have several steps toward our goal, describing in the
below.
1. Put LKL code under arch/um (arch/um/lkl), and build it in a separate way
from UML.
2. Use UML driver implementations in LKL as a minimum set of patches
- Only support x86 sub architecture (dependency to UML drivers)
3. Support broader host supports
- add virtio device features
For the step 1, we put LKL as one of UMMODE in order to make less effort to
integrate (make ARCH=um UMMODE=library). The modification to existing UML
code is trying to be minimized.
Building LKL the host library and LKL applications
==================================================
% cd tools/lkl
% make
will build LKL as a object file, it will install it in tools/lkl/lib together
with the headers files in tools/lkl/include then will build the host library,
tests and a few of application examples:
* tests/boot - a simple applications that uses LKL and exercises the basic
LKL APIs
* tests/net-test - a simple applications that uses network feature of
LKL and exercises the basic network-related APIs
* fs2tar - a tool that converts a filesystem image to a tar archive
* cptofs/cpfromfs - a tool that copies files to/from a filesystem image
* lklfuse - a tool that can mount a filesystem image in userspace,
without root priviledges, using FUSE
% make run-tests
should run the above `tests/boot` and `tests/net-test` and report errors if
there are any.
Supported hosts
===============
Currently LKL supports Linux userspace applications. New hosts can be added
relatively easy if the host supports gcc and GNU ld. Previous versions of
LKL supported Windows kernel and Haiku kernel hosts, and we also have WIP
patches with rump-hypercall interface, used in UEFI, as well as macOS
userspace (part of POSIX).
There is also musl-libc port for LKL, which might be interested in for some
folks.
