RustyHermit: libhermit-rs

Build Status Actions Status Documentation License Slack Status

libhermit-rs is the kernel of the RustyHermit unikernel project.

Building the kernel

Usually the kernel will be linked as static library to your applications.

  • Rust applications: Instructions can be found in the rusty-hermit repository.
  • For C/C++ applications: Instructions can be found in the hermit-playground repository.

Standalone static library build

If this does not fit your needs and you want to build the kernel as static library to link afterwards, you need the following:

The Rust nightly toolchain (official webpage), the source code of the Rust runtime, and llvm-tools:

rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup component add rust-src llvm-tools-preview

You can then build libhermit-rs with the following command

cargo build -Z build-std=core,alloc,panic_abort --target x86_64-unknown-hermit-kernel

The resulting library then can be found in target/x86_64-unknown-hermit-kernel/debug/libhermit.a

Control the kernel messages verbosity

libhermit-rs uses the lightweight logging crate log to print kernel messages. The environment variable HERMIT_LOG_LEVEL_FILTER controls the verbosity. You can change it by setting it at compile time to a string matching the name of a LevelFilter. If the variable is not set, or the name doesn't match, then LevelFilter::Info is used by default.

$ HERMIT_LOG_LEVEL_FILTER=Debug cargo build -Z build-std=core,alloc,panic_abort --target x86_64-unknown-hermit-kernel

Credits

libhermit-rs is derived from following tutorials and software distributions:

  1. Philipp Oppermann's excellent series of blog posts.
  2. Erik Kidd's toyos-rs, which is an extension of Philipp Opermann's kernel.
  3. The Rust-based teaching operating system eduOS-rs.
