.Nm cloudabi ,

.Nm cloudabi64
|
|
|
|
|
.Nd CloudABI support
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
Support for 64-bit CloudABI executables can be compiled into the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
by adding this line to the kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "options COMPAT_CLOUDABI64"
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
CloudABI support can also be loaded at boot time from
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
cloudabi_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
|
cloudabi64_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
CloudABI is a POSIX-like pure capability-based runtime environment,
|
|
|
|
|
similar to
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr capsicum 4 .
|
|
|
|
|
It can be used to develop applications that are cross-platform,
|
|
|
|
|
easier to test,
|
|
|
|
|
and hardened against security exploits.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Support for CloudABI on
|
|
|
|
|
.Fx
|
|
|
|
|
consists of two separate kernel modules.
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm cloudabi
|
|
|
|
|
kernel module implements all of the system calls that do not depend on
|
|
|
|
|
data structures that differ between architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm cloudabi64
|
|
|
|
|
kernel module provides implementations of all of the machine-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
system calls.
|
|
|
|
|
It assumes that pointers stored in data structures provided as system
|
|
|
|
|
call arguments are 64 bits in size.
|
|
|
|
|
It also provides the image activator that loads and starts 64-bit ELF
|
|
|
|
|
executables.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Though the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm cloudabi
|
|
|
|
|
module can be loaded on any architecture supported by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fx ,
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm cloudabi64
|
2015-10-22 11:09:25 +00:00
|
|
|
module is only available for amd64 and arm64.
|
2015-08-02 14:56:30 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
A full cross compilation toolchain for CloudABI is available in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa devel/cloudabi-toolchain
|
|
|
|
|
port.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa sysutils/cloudabi-utils
|
|
|
|
|
port provides the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr cloudabi-run 1
|
|
|
|
|
utility.
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr cloudabi-run 1
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to safely execute CloudABI processes with access to a
|
|
|
|
|
restricted set of resources.
