package mirage-unix

3.2.0 (2019-01-02)

• port to Dune from ocamlbuild, and replace packing with module aliases for the OS module (#8 by @avsm)

• Improve ocamldoc slightly for the main module (@avsm)

3.1.0 (2018-11-11)

• remove OS.Env module (@hannesm in #5)

• upgrade to opam2 (@hannesm in #7)

• re-add AppVeyor CI (@djs55 in #6)

3.0.8 (2018-03-17)

• re-add dependency on io-page-unix to avoid undefined references mirage_get_addr, mirage_alloc_pages (@hannesm in #4)

3.0.7 (2018-03-14)

• adjust OS.Time to meet Mirage_time_lwt.S (@hannesm in #3)

3.0.6 (2018-03-13)

• switched build system to topkg and ocamlbuild (@hannesm in #2)

• split mirage-unix from mirage-platform into a custom repository (@hannesm)

3.0.5 (2017-11-19)

• xen: add support for OCaml 4.05.0 (@talex5, #195)

3.0.4 (2017-07-14)

• remove support for versions of OCaml older than 4.04.2, and add support for OCaml 4.04.2. For older revisions of OCaml, use an older revision of mirage-xen-ocaml.

3.0.3 (2017-06-16)

• xen: we need io-page-xen because

  • mirage-xen depends on xen-gnt (for suspend/resume callbacks)

  • xen-gnt depends on io-page (to represent the types of page mappings)

  • io-page needs either io-page-unix or io-page-xen. We can't hardcode a dependency because it needs to be different on Unix / Xen / Solo5. In future we could break the link by adding some kind of pre suspend post resume callback mechanism and then remove the xen-gnt dependency.

• unix: we need io-page-unix because

  • mirage-types-lwt is in the common set linked into all Unikernels by the mirage tool

  • mirage-types-lwt depends on mirage-block-lwt and mirage-net-lwt

  • mirage-block-lwt depends on io-page

  • io-page needs either io-page-unix or io-page-xen. We can't hardcode a dependency because it needs to be different on Unix / Xen / Solo5 In future we could break the link by rethinking the alignment requirements of the interfaces. Perhaps FLOW could be unaligned but raw NETIF and BLOCKIF aligned?

3.0.2 (2017-06-16)

• Remove dependency on io-page. Note this changes the exposed interface of the console and xenstore rings to be Cstruct.ts

• [xen] Report trace events for GC again; this was disabled temporarily in the 2.2.0 release. (#119)

2.2.1 (2015-01-26):

• Fix Xen compilation with gcc 4.8+ by disabling the stack protector and -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns (not compatible with MiniOS). These missing flags were a regression from 2.1.3, which did include them.

2.2.0 (2015-01-23):

This releases adds support for OCaml 4.02+ compilation, and changes the Xen backend build for Mirage significantly by:

• removing the OCaml compiler runtime from the mirage-platform, which makes it simpler to work across multiple revisions of the compiler. It now uses the ocaml-src OPAM package to grab the current switch's version of the OCaml runtime.

• split the Xen runtime build into discrete pkg-config libraries:

  • mirage-xen-posix.pc : in the xen-posix/ directory, is the nano-posix layer built with no knowledge of OCaml

  • mirage-xen-minios.pc: defines the __INSIDE_MINIOS__ macro to expose internal state via the MiniOS headers (for use only by libraries that know exactly what they are doing with the MiniOS)

  • mirage-xen-ocaml.pc: in xen-ocaml/core/, this builds the OCaml asmrun, Bigarray and Str bindings using the mirage-xen-posix layer.

  • mirage-xen-ocaml-bindings.pc: in xen-ocaml/bindings/, these are bindings required by the OCaml libraries to MiniOS. Some of the bindings use MiniOS external state and hence use mirage-xen-minios, whereas others (cstruct_stubs and barrier_stubs are just OCaml bindings and so just use mirage-xen-posix).

  • mirage-xen.pc: depends on all the above to provide the same external interface as the current mirage-platform.

The OCaml code is now built using OASIS, since the C code is built entirely separately and could be moved out into a separate OPAM package entirely.

2.1.3 (2015-01-23):

• [xen] Fix error handling in OS.Main.run to enable a top-level exception to signal to the Xen toolstack that it crashed (versus a clean exit). This in turn lets on_crash="preserve" behaviour work better in Xen VM description files.

• Remove mirage-xen.pc file on uninstall.

2.1.2 (2014-12-20):

[xen] Updated headers and build for Mini-OS 0.5. This involves:

• Require libminios >= 0.5

• Remove old includes directory when installing

• Compile with -fno-builtin (avoids warnings about standard functions)

• Removed complex.h (now provided by Openlibm)

• Include cdefs.h from types.h (needed for __BEGIN_DECLS)

• Removed open from unistd.h (comes from fcntl.h)

• Removed assert.h and __assert_fail (provided by Mini-OS)

• Removed string.h (provided by Mini-OS)

• Removed cdefs.h (provided by Mini-OS)

• Added missing console.h includes (for printk)

2.1.1 (2014-12-17):

• Remove checksum stubs from Unix and Xen, as they are provided by tcpip now.

• [xen] Define UINTx_MAX and SIZE_MAX in stdint.h

2.1.0 (2014-12-07):

• [xen] Report trace events for GC, block_domain, XenStore and event channels. This introduces a new dependency on the mirage-profile package.

• [xen] Install a pkg-config file to allow other projects to compile C stubs against mirage-xen.

• [xen] Remove duplication of OCaml header files inside the include tree.

2.0.1 (2014-12-05):

• [xen] Assert that pages passed to the grant share API are page-aligned. This always happens if they are created via Io_page.create, and probably not true if made by Cstruct.create.

• [xen] Use monotonic time for timing events, not wall-clock time.

• [xen] Provide functions that C code often uses for asserts (abort, printf, etc).

2.0.0 (2014-11-04):

• Remove dietlibc, libm and most of the include files, replacing them with external dependencies on Mini-OS and openlibm.

• Introduce Xen/ARM support that works with both Xen 4.4 and the 4.5dev hypervisor ABI. Testing on Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck devices.

• [xen] Move the Xen main Lwt loop into OCaml code to simplify it (#99).

• Build fixes to work with multiple findlib directories in a single installation (#101 from Petter Urkedal).

• [xen] Install runtime headers for mirage-xen so that external C libraries can be compiled (#102 from James Bielman)

• [xen] Add support for demand-mapping for backend devices via a MiniOS gntmap device (#103).

1.1.1 (2013-02-24):

1.1.0 (2013-02-01):

• Update to new io-page{,.unix} ocamlfind packages.

• Remove unused Netif module from Unix backend.

• Xen now depends on xen-{evtchn,gnt} packages.

• Suppress another dietlibc linker warning for vprintf in Xen.

## 0.9.9 (2013-12-07):

• Remove tuntap stubs from Unix module; they are in ocaml-tuntap now.

• Move OS.Clock out to a toplevel Clock module (the mirage-clock package).

• [xen] add Activations.after interface to help drivers avoid losing interrupts

• Fix build on older gcc (4.4) versions, as found in CentOS 6.4.

0.9.6 (2013-08-27):

• [xen] adapt to new xenstore interface which allows the same code to be compiled under Unix userspace and xen kernelspace

0.9.5 (2013-08-09):

• Add the mir-rt regression runner to scripts/ (not installed).

• Unhook mir-run from the build, as Mirari replaces it.

• [xen] Add Netif test to wait for a fixed number of ring slots > 0

0.9.1 (2013-06-11):

• [xen] add mmap stubs to make the default Bigarray module happy.

• OS.Netif.create no longer creates the tuntap interface. Hotplug events are generated from the mirari calling functions instead, removing the policy from this library.

0.8.0 (2013-02-12):

• [xen] Fix the size of the start-of-day Xenstore and console rings.

• Quieten the verbosity of devices sleeping in Xen, to avoid console overflow situations.

• Install the packed cmx along with the cmxa to ensure that the compiler can do cross-module optimization (this is not a fatal error, but will impact performance if the cmx file is not present).

0.7.1 (2012-12-20):

• [unix] Update devices API to use Cstruct 0.6.0

0.7.0 (2012-12-20):

• [xen] Add support for VM suspend/resume/migrate

0.6.1 (2012-12-15):

• [xen] Add an unused ?dev parameter to Netif.create to match the UNIX version.

• [script] Add a mir-build script which converts a native output object into a Xen kernel. It does command-line parsing to be compatible with other Xen outputs in the future (such as the kFreeBSD or Javascript backends, when they are ready).

0.6.0 (2012-12-11):

• [xen] refresh to ocaml-4.00.1 runtime. You must use the correct OPAM switch to match versions, or bad things will happen when the resulting binary is run.
