* rename (cosmetic): green-eye -> risc-v-gsp-rm-debugger in user-facing names, ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson10 days
| | | | docs, CLI, launcher and CI workflow; internal greeneye package/module identifiers unchanged (includes in-flight greeneye module edits present in the tree)
* docs: engineering-operations playbook and project-wide status accuracy passArthur Hanson Rasmusson10 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - docs/eng-ops.md gains Part II, live physical-backend engineering operations: hard rules, the full module-parameter matrix, the routine supervised cycle and clean-release checklist, the debugfs inventory, how to read gsp-phys-state, a debugging scenario catalogue (CTXNOTVALID/promote wedge, fail-safe WPR2, unload hangs, guest wedges, MMU/PTE and PBDMA faults, relay symptoms), a hazard register (crash causes and debugging side effects), the physical-backend OODA loop, and the work-context map with porting flows - architecture, implementation, operations, orientation, getting-started, portability, ecosystem and reference docs corrected to the current state: CUDA driver-API smoke green, CE-class work forwarding and engine-authored releases plus fault relay in place (default off), GR execution blocked on engine-context validity, the promote wedge and designed locked fail-safe, and P5 wave-2 subsumed - internal-reference cleanup in tracked docs (no analysis-source or local-archive references); historical architecture document bannered - README reading list and STATE-CURRENT frontier refreshed; new pages (runbook, green-eye user guide, porting sequence, porting/packaging notes) linked from the tree Link check: scripts/check-docs-links.py passes (56 files, no broken links).
* debug: green-eye wave 2 - injection SDK, Frida-like calls, Ghidra control ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson10 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bridge, long-term docs Adds to debug/risc-v-gsp-rm-vm/: - Session.call / run_until: Frida-like remote function calls and run-to-cursor, with register restoration; verified live (rpc_ping -> 0xaffe). - symbol+offset target resolution (gsp_ctrl+0x10) across all APIs and the REPL. - Injection SDK (sdk/) and 'greeneye inject': position-independent RV64 service blobs (verified zero relocations), loaded into RAM, registered in the demo handler table, and invoked either directly or through the firmware mailbox dispatcher. Demo ABI extended: mailbox 16..23 selects slots, arg0 carries the service command, arg2 added (struct now 0x190; schema updated). - Ghidra control bridge (greeneye ghidra + GreenEyeControl.java): run-until-here, breakpoints, memory/register access, remote calls, hit export; verified end-to-end with Ghidra headless (run_until reached rpc_sum from a GhidraScript). - MarkGreenEyeHits.java fixed for the Ghidra 12 createBookmark API; verified headless together with ExportForGreenEye.java. - Analyzer renders a QEMU first-fault table for probe sessions (fault count, epc with firmware vaddr translation, access address/size, reason). - Tests now 35 green, including injection, Ghidra bridge, remote call, run-until and REPL command smoke tests. - Documentation: docs/11-16 (GSP RM service developer guide, injection SDK specification, Ghidra control, adversarial interoperability guide, agentic GSP IDE, custom simulator design) and GREEN-EYE-ROADMAP.md (long-term H1-H7 program); doc maps and the project RISC-V VM doc updated.
* debug: add green-eye GSP/uproc RISC-V VM runtime analysis toolingArthur Hanson Rasmusson10 days
| | | | | | | | | | Adds open-iov/debug/risc-v-gsp-rm-vm: a GDB-free instrumentation stack that boots uproc/GSP firmware in qemu-system-riscv64 and provides Frida-like hooks, breakpoints, watchpoints, memory dumps, structure decoding, snapshot diffs, recorded sessions, declarative probes, a plugin API and a Ghidra symbol/hit bridge. Verified: 25 tests green (including a live QEMU smoke test); the demo uproc boots with correct hook/leave/watch/schema/snapshot/fault evidence; the optional TCG trace plugin builds and recorded 15M trace lines in 3 s; the TU104 570.144 fwimage probe reports its first exception (load access fault at firmware vaddr 0x4009014 reading 0x2000000000000A00). Documentation: lean tool docs under debug/risc-v-gsp-rm-vm/docs/00-10, a new docs/05-operations/03-risc-v-gsp-rm-vm.md debugging document, and '# TOOL IN DEVELOPMENT - NOT READY YET!' markers in docs/README.md, the onboarding tooling table and the debugging workflows doc. Vendors qemu-plugin.h from QEMU v8.2.2 (GPL-2.0-or-later), with its license header intact, so the optional TCG plugin builds without a QEMU source tree.
* docs: record physical-GPU integration mechanism and refresh project statusArthur Hanson Rasmusson13 days
| | | | | | | | | | | - add docs/03-architecture/08-physical-gpu-integration.md: interfaces that exist, mechanism options A-E, chosen path (module-owned GPU driven through its real GSP firmware), sharing policy, decision record - update 06-host-module-and-hybrid-model, 02-practical-challenges, system overview, known-knowns, docs/README reading order and CUDA-side docs to match - correct stale engine-topology/COPY14 blocker claims across the tree - add STATE-CURRENT.md as the dated public status snapshot
* docs: merge the legacy flat documents, add the CUDA deep-dive and link checksArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Merge and remove the pre-reboot flat documents, preserving their still-useful material in the structured tree: debugging workflows and the EPT-livelock case study (05-operations/02), performance microbenchmarks and A/B methodology (05-operations/01), the version-upgrade runbook (05-operations/02 section 4, with corrected host/guest framing), kernel-code pitfalls (07-developers) and the OpenRM build/load order (03-architecture/06 section 7). The remaining legacy files were verified redundant and removed. * docs/README now records where each migrated topic lives. * Portability: the config YAML files are called out as design targets that no code reads yet, with what adding support actually requires today. * Getting started: the OpenRM step is marked optional (native vGPU-management workflows only; the emulated path uses the distro driver). * tools docs: rmtool/rmtop marked as planned, pointing at the implemented tools/rmq subset. * wiki: new CUDA-Userspace-Driver deep-dive page (public-safe, links the canonical userspace/cuda analysis) and index update. * scripts/check-docs-links.py plus a CI step so relative links cannot rot. * STATE.md references to removed documents repointed.
* docs: refresh status, supersede stale material, link the CUDA analysisArthur Hanson Rasmusson2026-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Status now matches the live state: guest driver probe and nvidia-smi work; cuInit/device queries work; cuCtxCreate returns 999 because the emulated engine list is missing the async copy engine (COPY14). The userspace libcuda segfault is recorded as solved, with its mechanism (an RM allocation reply must echo request parameters; zeroing them corrupted the caller's saved frame pointer). * Correct the emulation claims: only a subset of RM controls are special-cased; the rest return a success reply with zeroed parameters whose consumed fields are still being corrected; allocation replies are coherent but no server-side object model exists. * Add the eight-point emulation checklist and reply-fidelity ladder as explicit gates, documented in userspace/cuda and linked from the architecture, implementation and operations docs. * Fix operational errors: build/test commands, module load order, mdev type names, LFS references, debugfs claims, in-repo firmware claims, CI claims, portability matrix (guest status, config layout, userspace driver facts). * Mark historical material: one superseded banner per legacy document with a pointer to its replacement; STATE.md marked as a 2026-09-21 snapshot. * Wiki: fix the index, add status banners and in-place factual corrections (msgq transport vs legacy mailbox, BAR definitions, error statuses, migration, glossary), and note the archived 2023 imports.
* Open-IOV: initial public releaseOpen-IOV2026-09-23
Open-IOV virtualizes NVIDIA GPUs so that unmodified guest drivers run with real GPU functionality - CUDA first, 3D and video to follow - on unmodified hosts, without a proprietary vGPU license and without patching any driver, firmware or hypervisor. Core principle: emulate the interface, pass through the work. kernel/ open-iov-vfio.ko - host VFIO mdev driver: virtual GPU device (PCI config space, BAR shadows, MSI-X), GSP boot emulation, GSP-RM message-queue/RPC emulation, memory model (GPU-VA to guest-PA discovery) and the semaphore-completion service that advances guest UVM progress. userspace/ libiov.so management API and examples. tools/ guest diagnostics, firmware analysis wrappers, RM probes. scripts/ stack manager, VM harness, build/load/test automation. config/ hardware/version profiles (the portability surface). docs/ documentation tree - start at docs/README.md. wiki/ long-form firmware and protocol deep dives. Status: initialization works end to end for a stock 570.144 Linux guest on Turing (TU104): driver probe, nvidia-smi, the full GSP-RM control battery, object creation and the early CUDA/UVM start-up path. GPU work forwarding - the step that makes CUDA kernels execute on real hardware - is the active work item; see docs/04-implementation/01-known-knowns-and-unknowns.md.
