  • Generic User-Level PCI Drivers
    Generic User-Level PCI Drivers Hannes Weisbach, Bj¨orn D¨obel, Adam Lackorzynski Technische Universit¨at Dresden Department of Computer Science, 01062 Dresden {weisbach,doebel,adam}@tudos.org Abstract Linux has become a popular foundation for systems with real-time requirements such as industrial control applications. In order to run such workloads on Linux, the kernel needs to provide certain properties, such as low interrupt latencies. For this purpose, the kernel has been thoroughly examined, tuned, and verified. This examination includes all aspects of the kernel, including the device drivers necessary to run the system. However, hardware may change and therefore require device driver updates or replacements. Such an update might require reevaluation of the whole kernel because of the tight integration of device drivers into the system and the manyfold ways of potential interactions. This approach is time-consuming and might require revalidation by a third party. To mitigate these costs, we propose to run device drivers in user-space applications. This allows to rely on the unmodified and already analyzed latency characteristics of the kernel when updating drivers, so that only the drivers themselves remain in the need of evaluation. In this paper, we present the Device Driver Environment (DDE), which uses the UIO framework supplemented by some modifications, which allow running any recent PCI driver from the Linux kernel without modifications in user space. We report on our implementation, discuss problems related to DMA from user space and evaluate the achieved performance. 1 Introduction in safety-critical systems would need additional au- dits and certifications to take place.

  • Valgrind: Memory Checker Tool
    Valgrind: Memory Checker Tool I Use Valgrind to check your program for memory errors and memory leaks. Valgrind can do many more things but we will focus on the memory checking part. I Use Valgrind for testing your singly linked list as follows. valgrind --leak-check=yes SimpleTest <n> I Run it on the SimpleTest.c program without the freeList function and then run it again after adding the function. I Valgrind is installed in the lab on all systems. Install it on your Fedora Linux system with the command: sudo dnf install valgrind 1/8 Valgrind: Overview I Extremely useful tool for any C/C++ programmer I Mostly known for Memcheck module, which helps find many common memory related problems in C/C++ code I Supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, PPC32/Linux, PPC64/Linux and X86/Darwin (Mac OS X) I Available for X86/Linux since ~2003, actively developed 2/8 Sample (Bad) Code I We will use the following code for demonstration purposes:: The code can be found in the examples at C-examples/debug/valgrind. 1 #include <stdio.h> 2 #include <stdlib.h> 3 #define SIZE 100 4 int main() { 5 int i, sum = 0; 6 int *a = malloc(SIZE); 7 for (i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i) 8 sum += a[i]; 9 a [26] = 1; 10 a = NULL ; 11 if (sum > 0) printf("Hi!\n"); 12 return 0; 13 } I Contains many bugs.

  • What Is Valgrind and Why We Need It
    What is Valgrind and why we need it http://alexott.net/en/writings/prog-checking/Valgri... What is Valgrind and why we need it Introduction Valgrind is well-known as a tool for finding errors of work with memory. But except this, it also contain number of additional utilities for performance profiling, finding synchronization errors in multi-threading programs and analysis of memory consumption. This article contain short description of work with Valgrind and usage of its modules. This description match Valgrind version 3.3. Additional information about work with Valgrind you can find on Valgrind's site, that contains different manuals, from easy Quick Start to very detailed user manual and technical description of Valgrind. Architecture of Valgrind Valgrind has modular architecture and consists from kernel, that perform processor emulation, and modules, that collect and analyze information, obtained from the kernel during execution of analyzed code. Valgrind works under Linux on x86, amd64, ppc32 and ppc64 processors (i need to mention, that exists projects for porting Valgrind to other OSes), and exists some limitations, that could affect work of analyzed programs.1 Valgrind's distribution contain following modules: memcheck main module, that provide memory leak detection. This module also could be used for finding other errors of work with memory — read or write behind memory blocks boundaries, etc. cachegrind analyze execution of code, collecting data about processor cache misses and code branching (when processor has wrong prediction about jumping). This statistic collecting for all program, separate functions and lines of code callgrind analyze functions calls, using almost same methods, as cachegrind module.
