p11-kit for Unikraft

This is the port of p11-kit for Unikraft as an external library.

Dependencies

It depends on the following libraries that need to be added to Makefile in this order:

• networking, e.g lwip
• multi-threading, e.g pthread-embedded
• libc, e.g newlib

For example: ...$(UK_L)/p11-kit:$(UK_L)/lwip:$(UK_L)/pthread-embedded:$(UK_L)/newlib...

Additional configurations

For the library to work, ppoll must be disabled in lwip.

The file system

Because the 9PFS filesystem is used, you will have to go under "Library Configuration" -> "vfscore" -> "Default root device" and set your mount tag to the one you will use. The tag rootfs can be used also.

How to run

In order to run the library in your application, you will have to add the following lines to your qemu script to make it use a filesystem:

-fsdev local,security_model=none,id=myid,path=/your/path/here \
-device virtio-9p-pci,id=fs0,fsdev=myid,mount_tag=rootfs,disable-modern=on,\
 disable-legacy=off

When running make, the Makefile will automatically create the file structure needed inside a folder named fs0 inside your app folder. Please make sure there isn't any other folder named fs0 before running make.

How to test

To run the tests included in the library you will have to call libp11kit_test_main(int argc, char *argv[]);. Do not forget to check that you want to build the test suite under libp11-kit in the menuconfig

The library is compatible with KVM (Linuxu too in the future).

Missing features

Identified missing features that cause failed tests:

1. basename symbol missing from newlib
2. fork and execv support missing
3. dynamic library linking support missing
4. getprogname missing
5. setenv and getenv do not work properly
6. path expansion from ~ not working properly
7. mkdtemp works, but it needs patching

Other underlying problems might appear after the ones above are fixed.

The following tests fail currently due to the above missing functionalities:

• test-compat (1)
• test-path (6)
• test-runtime (7)
• test-url (5)
• test-conf (unknown, failed on host too)
• test-deprecated (3)
• test-init (3 + 2)
• test-iter (3)
• test-managed (partially)
• test-modules (1)
• test-pin (partially)
• test-progname (4)
• test-proxy (7)
• test-rpc (unknown)
• test-server (4)
• test-transport (4)
