c - How to correctly use a startup-ipi to start an application processor? -


my goal let own kernel start application cpu. uses same mechanism linux kernel:

  • send asserting , level triggered init-ipi
  • wait...
  • send deasserting , level triggered init-ipi
  • wait...
  • send 2 startup-ipis vector number (0x40000 >> 12) (the entry code application processor lies there)

currently i'm interested in making work qemu. unfortunately, instead of jumping 0x40000, application cpu jumps 0x0 cs register set 0x4000. (i checked gdb).

the intel multiprocessor specification (b.4.2) explains behavior noticed valid if target processor halted after reset or init. shouldn't apply code of linux kernel? sends startup-ipi after init-ipi. or misunderstand specification?

what can have application processor jump 0x000vv000 , not 0x0 cs register set 0xvv00? can't see, linux changes behavior.

it seems misunderstood specification: since application cpu started in real mode 0x000vv000 equivalent 0xvv00:0x0000. not possible represent address in 16 bit ip register. therefore segment offset code segment required.

additionally, debugging real mode code gdb comparable complicated because not respect segment offset. when required see disassembled code of trampoline @ current position, necessary calculate physical location:

x/20i $eip+0xvv000

this makes gdb print next 20 instructions @ 0xvv00:$eip.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

openid - Okta: Failed to get authorization code through API call -

i'm integrating okta own idp server using okta's api. i'm implementing authorization code flow following steps below: in own server, use /api/v1/authn endpoint sessiontoken. use sessiontoken obtain authorization calling endpoint: /oauth2/v1/authorize?client_id=" + clientid + "&sessiontoken=" + sessiontoken + "&response_type=code&response_mode=query&scope=openid&redirect_uri=" + redirecturl + "&state=evanyang&nonce=" it's supposed return response status code 302 , location header containing redirect url code value. however, keep getting response status code 200 , without location header, html body saying "you using unsupported browser." , "javascript disabled on browser." according api documentation: http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/oidc.html#authentication-request , sessiontoken parameter sufficient this: an okta one-time sessiontoken. allows api-based

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
