This repository is (currently) split into three components. The modified kernel
lives in linux/, and is a git subtree tracking the main linux repository on
github.
Companion tools for working with ELFbac policies live in tools/. The main
(only) tool now is elfbac-ld, which is a wrapper around the GNU linker to lay
out sections properly and to link in an ELFbac policy as described by a JSON
file.
There are sample programs in tools/examples/ to see how this works. You can
run it in the VM or on the host with qemu-arm-static.
Scripts to create a vexpress-a9 qemu vm have been placed in scripts/, along with
a kernel config for that machine. Requires a debian-based (Ubuntu probably)
machine with the arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain and qemu installed.
gdbinit in scripts is symlinked to .gdbinit there, so running
gdb-multiarch from the scripts directory will start gdb and connect to a
waiting vm (started with -S -s). Will need to add that path to your load path
in ~/.gdbinit for this to
work.
