Piotr Jaroszyński: Usermode debugging under Linux

• Refreshed my gPXE memory a little
• Had a meeting with Josh:
  • Went over my previous work
  • Decided upon the tasks for the nearest and more distant future Project plan

• Updated the wiki ;)

Cleaned up some of my previous work:

• Reimplemented the timer subsystem properly (commit)
• Introduced a single header with used linux APIs (commit)

linux branch

My efi and 64bit fixes were merged:

• [compiler] Fix 64bit compile time errors
• [efi] Fix link order for elf2efi
• [efi] Fix *.efi linking

Decided with Josh to use qemu like syntax for command-line options

-net tap,mac=aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa,foo=bar,...

That would use the tap driver with specified mac, foo=bar etc

-net tap,ip=192.168.1.100 use-cached=1

That would use the tap driver with the specified ip and set use-cached to 1 so that DHCP won't override it.

Worked towards getting base64 support for CHAP in iSCSI. In the end only one of my patches were used. I had to refresh my mind on the topic to do the testing though.

• [iscsi] Allow base64 encoding in large binary values
