Struct kernel::process::ProcessStandard

pub struct ProcessStandard<'a, C: 'static + Chip, D: 'static + ProcessStandardDebug + Default> { /* private fields */ }

A type for userspace processes in Tock.

As its name implies, this is the standard implementation for Tock processes that exposes the full support for processes running on embedded hardware.

ProcessStandard is templated on two parameters:

• C: Chip: The implementation must know the Chip the kernel is running on to properly store architecture-specific and MPU state for the process.
• D: ProcessStandardDebug: This configures the debugging mechanism the process uses for storing optional debugging data. Kernels that do not wish to store per-process debugging state can use the () type for this parameter.

Implementations

impl<C: 'static + Chip, D: 'static + ProcessStandardDebug> ProcessStandard<'_, C, D>

pub fn get_tbf_storage_permissions( &self, ) -> Option<(bool, usize, [u32; 8], usize, [u32; 8])>

Return the app’s read and modify storage permissions from the TBF header if it exists.

If the header does not exist then return None. If the header does exist, this returns a 5-tuple with:

• write_allowed: bool. If this process should have write permissions.
• read_count: usize. How many read IDs are valid.
• read_ids: u32. The read IDs.
• modify_count: usze. How many modify IDs are valid.
• modify_ids: u32. The modify IDs.

Trait Implementations

impl<C: Chip, D: 'static + ProcessStandardDebug> Process for ProcessStandard<'_, C, D>

fn processid(&self) -> ProcessId

Returns the process’s identifier.

fn short_app_id(&self) -> ShortId

Returns the ShortId generated by the application binary checker at loading.

fn binary_version(&self) -> Option<BinaryVersion>

Returns the version number of the binary in this process, as specified in a TBF Program Header. If the binary has no version assigned this returns None.

Return the credential which the credential checker approved if the credential checker approved a credential. If the process was allowed to run without credentials, return None.

fn enqueue_task(&self, task: Task) -> Result<(), ErrorCode>

Queue a Task for the process. This will be added to a per-process buffer and executed by the scheduler. Tasks are some function the process should run, for example a upcall or an IPC call.

fn remove_pending_upcalls(&self, upcall_id: UpcallId)

Remove all scheduled upcalls with the given upcall_id from the task queue.

fn is_running(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the process is running or not.

fn get_state(&self) -> State

Returns the current state the process is in.

fn set_yielded_state(&self)

Move this process from the running state to the yielded state.

fn set_yielded_for_state(&self, upcall_id: UpcallId)

Search the work queue for the first pending operation with the given upcall_id and if one exists remove it from the queue.process

fn update_stack_start_pointer(&self, stack_pointer: *const u8)

Debug function to update the kernel on where the stack starts for this process. Processes are not required to call this through the memop system call, but it aids in debugging the process.

fn update_heap_start_pointer(&self, heap_pointer: *const u8)

Debug function to update the kernel on where the process heap starts. Also optional.

fn setup_mpu(&self)

Configure the MPU to use the process’s allocated regions.

fn add_mpu_region( &self, unallocated_memory_start: *const u8, unallocated_memory_size: usize, min_region_size: usize, ) -> Option<Region>

Allocate a new MPU region for the process that is at least min_region_size bytes and lies within the specified stretch of unallocated memory.

fn remove_mpu_region(&self, region: Region) -> Result<(), ErrorCode>

Removes an MPU region from the process that has been previously added with add_mpu_region.
