CS 342302 OPERATING SYSTEMSNachos Project 1
Start-up and System call
MOTIVATION
System calls are the interfaces that user programs can ask services from kernel.
How to add a new system call is very essential.
OBJECTIVE
Be familiar with the Nachos environment. Design and implement new system calls in
this project.
PLATFORM
Use Linux on our server. You could also build up your Linux
environment by yourself.
LOGIN

LOGIN
如出現以下畫面 選 “是 (Y)”
LOGIN
Both the account name and the default password are “os”+your student number. (ex. os9862518)
After you login, you must change your password. (use passwd command)
$passwd
BASIC COMMAND
NOTE : Some basic commands you have to know:for example :
$cd <directory> : enter directory $cd .. : go back to upper directory $cd ~ : enter home directory $ctrl + c : process termination
good place : 鳥哥的 Linux 私房菜 (http://linux.vbird.org/)
COMPLETE YOUR NACHOS ENVIRONMENT Enter your home directory $ cd ~ We have already prepared for you
nachos-java.tar.gz , nachos-java.tar.gz Decompress it! $ tar zxvf nachos-java.tar.gz $ tar zxvf mips-x86.linux-xgcc.tgz Enter the nachos/test directory and execute
make. If there is no errors, your MIPS cross compiler environment is set correctly.
$ cd nachos/test $ make
MAKE RESULT
Note: If there are errors when you make, contact TA please. Otherwise, you couldn’t complete this project
EXECUTE NACHOS
Go back and enter the proj1 directory and execute make. It will create the directory named nachos. Finally, execute nachos to run Nachos, you will see some lines of messages when running.
$ cd .. $ cd proj1 $ make $ nachos
RUNNING RESULT
If there is no error so far, your Nachos environment is set successfully.
HOW TO MODIFY
Use vim on the server (suggested)Reference : http://www.study-area.org/tips/vim/
http://linux.vbird.org/linux_basic/0310vi.php
Or you can use the FTP software (ex. FileZilla) with SSH (port:22) to download and upload the file which have to be modify, then you can use your own editor in your operating system.
BASIC REQUIREMENTIMPLEMENT & ADD THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM CALL:
int add(int op1, int op2); int pow(int op1, int op2); void print(char *msg);void print2(char *msg, int value); You only need to parse the parameter %d.
void exit(int status); In order to terminate user programs properly.
RELATED CODE FOR USER PROCESSES
~/nachos/test/start.SStartup assembly code for every user program of Nachos.
~/nachos/test/syscall.hDefinitions of the system call prototypes
~/nachos/userprog/UserProcess.javaEncapsulates the state of a user process, including the handler for system calls and other exceptions.
ADD YOUR SYSTEM CAL
Declare a new system call in test/syscall.h- Define a new system call ID
E.g., #define syscallAdd 13
- Declare the interface for Nachos system calls, which will
be called by the user program.
E.g., int add(int op1, int op2); Add the low level operation to support the
new declared system call in test/start.S E.g., SYSCALLSTUB(add, syscallAdd)
handleSyscall in userprog/UserProcess.java
1. Define system call ID which you’ve defined in UserProcess.java
private static final int
syscallHalt = 0,
…..
2. Write your system call in the switch case
public int handleSyscall (int syscall, int a0, int a1, int a2, int a3)
{
switch (syscall) {
case syscallAdd:
return a0+a1;
…..
ADD YOUR SYSTEM CALL
ADD YOUR PROGRAM
You have to run the following test program on your Nachos.
ADD YOUR PROGRAM(CONT.)
If you call the test file “proj1.c”. First, put the file under /test, and modify the
file “Makefile”.TARGETS = halt sh matmult sort echo cat cp mv rm #chat chatserver
TARGETS = halt sh matmult sort echo cat cp mv rm proj1 #chat chatserver
then “make” again under the /test directory.
If appear “make: Nothing to be done for `all'.” $ make clean $ make
RUN YOUR PROGRAM
In file ~/nachos/proj2 Then modify the line 12 of /proj2/nachos.conf
Kernel.shellProgram = halt.coff #sh.coffKernel.shellProgram = proj1.coff #sh.coff
“make” under /proj2. Enter “nachos” to run it.
RESULT
HINT
In system call “print” and “print2” may use the functions below:
readVirtualMemoryString();System.out.println();
try to know how to use it
SUBMISSION & GRADING POLICY
Code correctness 65%Every system call is 13%
Readability 5% Report 30% Bonus 10%
BONUS
Anything different from Basic Requirement Build your own nachos' environment
For example : Using Vmware, install Ubuntu, nachos, mips …etc.
Another system call For example : Create, open, write, read …etc.
REPORT REQUIREMENT
Free but basically What problem have you met and how to solve it What have you learned from this project Your bonus part (if have, Explain it in detail) 報告越詳細分數越高
