How to build the project?

[Bonjourz]

Hi, I try to build the MPX enabled occlum on my machine. But I meet numerous error by running your script... Is there any instructions to guide users to build the project?

I build the project by running the scripts prepare.sh and download_and_build_libos.sh. When I run the download_and_build_libos.sh, the command make RELEASE=1 causes following error:

error[E0432]: unresolved import 'core::alloc::Alloc'
 --> /root/reproduce-occlum/libos/deps/rust-sgx-sdk/sgx_alloc/src/lib.rs:42:32
   |
42 | use core::alloc::{GlobalAlloc, Alloc, AllocErr, Layout};
 |                                ^^^^^ no 'Alloc' in 'alloc'

It seems the versions for the library is too old. I am a rust novice, and cannot find solutions on the Internet. Do you know how to fix it?

I build the project in docker by running docker run --privileged -it --device /dev/isgx occlum/occlum:0.13.1-ubuntu18.04, and the rust version can be shown by running:

$ rustc --version
$ rustc 1.44.0-nightly (6dee5f112 2020-04-06)

Maybe you can try 16.04. The version of Rust is set in the script. Also, about how to use this repo, you can check the "Artifact Appendix" in our paper.

I follow the "Artifact Appendix" in your paper to build the project. I build it on Ubuntu 16.04, the kernel version is 4.15.0-29-generic. When I run the download_and_build_libos.sh, the command make submodule causes following error:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/my-pc/reproduce-asplos20/libos/deps/sefs/sefs-fuse'
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to select a version for the requirement `bitvec = "^0.9"`

Makefile:142: recipe for target 'bin/app' failed
make[1]: *** [bin/app] Error 101

It seems the version of bitvec library mismatches. Then I follow the issues and apply the modifications. Then it causes following errors:

error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature 'alloc': this library is unlikely to be stabilized in its current form or name (see issue #27783)

   | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = help: add #![feature(alloc)] to the crate attributes to enable

Do you know how to fix it?

[wangrunji0408]

The new bitvec requires new Rust nightly toolchain, where #![feature(alloc)] is no longer needed.

Try to update nightly version to 1.36.0 or later.

[Bonjourz]

I change the version to nightly 1.46.0. Then I get following error when running the command make RELEASE=1 in download_and_build_libos.sh:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `core::alloc::Alloc`

error: aborting due to previous error

Perhaps this could help: https://github.com/phil-opp/linked-list-allocator/pull/20 and this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68529

I change the Alloc to AllocRef, and get errors:

error[E0407]: method `alloc_zeroed` is not a member of trait `AllocRef`

   | |_____^ not a member of trait `AllocRef`

79 | |     }

I simply delete the implementation of alloc_zeroed() and realloc() in sgx_alloc/src/lib.rs. After that, I get various error like:

error: cannot find derive macro `Hash` in this scope
  --> /home/my-pc/reproduce-asplos20/libos/deps/rust-sgx-sdk/sgx_tstd/src/time/mod.rs:62:5

   |                                                       ^^^^

and

error: cannot find derive macro `Debug` in this scope

95 | #[derive(Clone, Debug)]
   |                 ^^^^^

It seems that simply delete the Debug and Hash in #[derive(...)] works. But I am not sure this is the correct solution...
