Legacy kernel 10.4.0 updated

[andyvand]

I finished the modifications to the kernel.
It now builds for both 32/64bit easily.
The patch is also here, as well as the binaries
Update: I fixed the patcher and updated it to be able to recognize any Intel instruction.
Since we don't have an auto-patching dyld yet, it's only for application binaries + dyld qua patching but it's definitely good progress.
I also created an auto-patching cpuid + sysenter tool which can operate on any Mach-O file, even directly on universal binaries.
There is also an extended tool included for patching certain sse3 instructions along with cpuid + sysenter.
Update (V4): I worked on the patcher so that it can decrypt and patch encrypted binaries (works, shows failures untill DSMOS has arrived though)
Kernel patcher (V3): Updated code to solve minor issues and not to generate output files if there is no patching done
Kernel patcher (V4): Updated code to solve no output file generated on UB if x86_64 part had no patches needed but i386 part did
Update (V5): Fixed CoreSymbolication support and fixed backtraces

Patch (V5):

Testing it now, I had to boot with arch=i386 and patcher_opts=2 like before otherwise kp or instant reboot. Seems to work fine for now, I've seen a new message in the console, I guess it's related to the kernel or sysenter patch but I don't know for real.

com.stclairsoft.DefaultFolderX.helper sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Invalid argument
com.stclairsoft.DefaultFolderX.helper proc_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Invalid argument
Overall the system feels snappier (advanced tech term hehe) but perhaps it's a placebo effect.
Thank you again Andy for your work

[$The-King$]

thanks this work my quicktime but it crashes with mp4 and safari when open vedio on it with quick time
thanks andy for all your work

[jackokk]

Thank you very much for your hard work.

[davisin666]

Gracias amigo, no me iba a dar la paja de parchar xDDD

[bltz]

Like for eMatoS:


without arch=i386 and patcher_opts=2: reboot
with arch=i386 but without patcher_opts: kernel panic (see attachment but it's similar to those I've reported before)
with both it boots and somewhat works but still not really usable.

Unlike eMatoS I still have the same problems I wrote about here:
http://osx86.net/f36/qoopz-anv-xnu-10-4-0-rel4-t6491/post50208.html
(graphics problems, and missing dates and times) now with a 10.6.3 install on an AMD Athlon64 3200+

[Imkantus]

sysenter patch but I don't know for real.
Does SYSENTER patch work via Kernel this time? (going to try later by myself...)

[andyvand]

thanks this work my quicktime but it crashes with mp4 and safari when open vedio on it with quick time
thanks andy for all your work

try running them in 32 bit.
it is ssse3 related

[andyvand]

Try the latest kernel on, lots of updates and it works now like a charm ;)

[andyvand]

Does SYSENTER patch work via Kernel this time? (going to try later by myself...)
It does now for dyld.
libSystem.B(_debug/_profile).dylib won't get patched as I haven't been able to build a stable custom dyld yet.
There is however now a tool for AMD which can do the hard work for you...

[RayFlower]

Thanks for yet another kernel andy!

I still have the problems i had before with steam and abobe cs3 pse and cs5 and some au plugins though.

Just out of curiosity, does this make any sense to you?:

[$The-King$]

thanks andy for yours hard work

after tests with new clean install
i must use sysenter patcher if not many programs crashes
i put amd instruction patcher on usr/bin but i can't see any benefit for it
no more patcher_opts=2

on 32bit mode every things work good except sound volume dont change and and quicktime crashes when use subtitles

on 64bit mode sound volume change work but qiucktime totally not work

thanks andy keep your good working

[Imkantus]

i put amd instruction patcher on usr/bin but i can't see any benefit for it
The patcher is made to patch out bad instructions from single binary files - not made for patching complete folders...

For example:

sudo -s
amd_insn_patcher /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched
cp /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib.patched /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Patcher is working great and Kernel is able to boot without patcher_opts=2 now, thanks Andy. ;) I am going to do further testing once I am back from work this evening. :cool:

and is there need for sysenter patcher ?
thanks

[diskeeper]

Hey Andy! Thanks for your work!

Installed your updated kernel and VmWare Fusion stopped working. With the 10.4.0 rel 4 kernel everything good.

[opiniatre]

Wow it does feel snappier compare to legacy 10.4.0 kernel.
Vmware not working for me too parallel is.
Great work ! thanks

[Imkantus]

which files is needed to be patched with this tool
and is there need for sysenter patcher ?
thanks
Well the tool patches out sysenter traps as well as it is able to patch cpuid checks into interrupt 0xfb, like we already have been doing using good old maxxus patcher.
I would recommend you to use the kernel in order with -force64 bootflag, as the 64-Bit code of OS X doesn't contain any cpuid trouble, what is making our lifes much easier and working great thanks to Andys hard work. :cool:

On my testing installation I have actually patched only these files and no issues (mp4 Playback and DivX De- & Encoder Plugins in QTX, iTunes etc all working just great):

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore

/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents

/System/Library/QuickTime/AppleProResDecoder.component/Contents/MacOS/AppleProResDecoder

If Developer Tools are installed libSystem.B_debug.dylib & libSystem.B_profile.dylib need to be patched as well.
The two Quiktime folder ones might not be required, but I patched them as I am still having QT7 in use - I haven't tried without patching those, yet. (going to try that later)
OK. Those two files have to be patched furthermore QTX needs to be executed in 32-Bit mode for mp4 playback to work - I haven't seen that the coresponding checkbox was still set true.

It does now for dyld.
libSystem.B(_debug/_profile).dylib won't get patched as I haven't been able to build a stable custom dyld yet.
There is however now a tool for AMD which can do the hard work for you...Anyway this is the best Snow Leopard XNU release for the AMD folks out there by now.
You have done a realy great job to the point and I hope you'll keep it going. ;)

Same here:S

[fumoboy007]

I tried using arch=x86_64 and -force64 together but it just won't boot into 64-bit mode, it always goes into 32-bit mode.

[eMatoS]

Andy, why is it that with the latest kernel I can't get chameleon to take the arch=x86_64 command? If I boot with Wait=Yes arch=x86_64 -force64 when Chameleon stops before the kernel loads it always says Loading i386 System or something similar, not X86_64. Maybe it's just cosmetic? Don't know. Perhaps you forced the loader to boot with the i386 command...

@Fumoboy007, don't pay attention to what System Profiler (and many other apps) says, you should check in activity monitor for 64bit apps.



Anyway, great work again Andy, the system's been very stable, it works better than in 32bit though I have to force some apps to run in 32bit but that's no big deal. Thank you...

[fumoboy007]

@Fumoboy007, don't pay attention to what System Profiler (and many other apps) says, you should check in activity monitor for 64bit apps.

But it seems to be loading 32-bit kexts though…so…iunno. In the kernel logs it says "64 bit mode enabled" but it also says "Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: vr 17 sep 2010 14:40:38 CEST; annappirtrvh v4 :xnu-1504.7.4-legacy/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386"…i386?

I'm using the binary that andy uploaded…maybe it wasn't compiled for 64-bit? hehe..just a thought.

[fumoboy007]

maybe it wasn't compiled for 64-bit?

WOAH…im actually right…i just did a "lipo -info" on that file and it's only i386!

[fumoboy007]

WOAH…im actually right…i just did a "lipo -info" on that file and it's only i386!

…and since I don't know how to apply a patch…could someone upload the hybrid version of the kernel please =).

[andyvand]

when patching with amd ins patcher
it says bus error
With v after the 2 binaries it works but I've made a V2.
This release also strips code signatures from the binaries it patches (even on universal binaries).

[andyvand]

I tried using arch=x86_64 and -force64 together but it just won't boot into 64-bit mode, it always goes into 32-bit mode.
I'll make (compile) a 32+64bit kernel soon ;)

[$The-King$]

thanks andy
hope next one will be more featured and x86-64 compile work because i love to work with x86-64 kernel

[Imkantus]

WOAH…im actually right…i just did a "lipo -info" on that file and it's only i386!You should read more precisely, no one here has ever said that the released binaries would be universal. Andy only wrote:

It now builds for both 32/64bit easily.And as I tried myself, I can confirm that it does. Just that the Kernel in BUILD/obj/RELEASE_X86_64 doesn't work nor it's possible to merge both builds into one universal bin file. ;)

But as eMatoS wrote using 32-Bit Kernel does not mean that 64-Bit support doesn't work. Good explanation is avaible at http://www.macworld.com/article/142379/2009/08/snow_leopard_64_bit.html

What would be the advantage you promise yourself from running 64-Bit Kernel? :) Even real Macs don't use this by default...

PS: You might want to use http://osx86.net/images/infinitemacpro/buttons/edit.png next time...

@Andy
Do you have any idea how I could fix IPC for Quiktime to load 32-Bit Codecs & Safari to work with Flash Player? ;)

[eMatoS]

Imkantus, what is the problem with Flash Player and Safari? Have you tried the beta build? It runs in 64bit now. You can download it from the Adobe Labs.

[Imkantus]

Thx, just installing latest flash player plugin (no preview release) did the trick for Safari... sometimes solutions are even closer as expected. :D

[fumoboy007]

What would be the advantage you promise yourself from running 64-Bit Kernel? :) Even real Macs don't use this by default...

iunno…are my EXC_I386_DIV crashes related?

Got a geekbench error with this kernel:

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7541/screenshot20100920at121.png

[$The-King$]

the quick time crashes with latest kernel and patcher
hope it is solved in new kernel and arch x86-64 work also
thanks andy for your time spending it on programing this kernel

[$The-King$]

anther problem with this kernel is that vmware and parallel software cant be setuped it says it isnt intel cpu
but with anv 10.4 rel4 works fine with this software
thanks andy

[andyvand]

There is another update to the kernel.
This time it can auto patch encrypted binaries (decrypting them to the new dsmos_page_transform, I figured out how it works).
Ignore the failures at beginning boot, they are because it waits for "DSMOS has arrived".
It will continue to load the binaries untill they are succesfully loaded :)
All that is left now is getting a stable custom dyld built (for library + framework auto patching) and then we will have everything where we need it ;)
I could however use some help on this because the issue (I think) is that the coresymbolication functions aren't available.

[$The-King$]

thanks andy you are very good i love your work :)
will test it ;)
with out you what will we do :D

[$The-King$]

after first test
x86-64
not work dont know what is problem with x86-64 bulid

[fumoboy007]

Great work so far, Andy! There is one more issue which you should add to your list and that is 64-bit. When I use the kernel flag -force64, it just causes my computer to restart.

[gedna]

new kernel work for me and with -force64 now, can some one tell me how to apply those patches? thanks

[RayFlower]

The kernel patches?
You wont need them unless you plan to modify the source yourself, i haven't done it in osx for ages but check out this if you're interested.

http://shantonu.blogspot.com/2009/09/mac-os-x-kernel-source-xnu-has-been.html

And please read this:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/patch

There is no sense in going trough this unless you know what you're doing and actually commit some changes.

[gedna]

what about amd_ins_patcher. ? is it necessary ?

[fumoboy007]

Great work so far, Andy! There is one more issue which you should add to your list and that is 64-bit. When I use the kernel flag -force64, it just causes my computer to restart.

Also…the original legacy kernel allowed me to boot into 64-bit albeit without the ability to run 32-bit apps.

With your latest kernel (v4) iTunes 10 doesn't work, FAIL

[eMatoS]

Itunes 10 is working here, at first the system felt slow but maybe it was busy with something cause it runs fine now. This time I needed arch=i386 to boot, otherwise I would get an instant reboot.
Andy, I haven't seen thoes errors before DSMOS you mention in the first post (I guess you have to un an unpatched system to see them), also what does these messages mean:

24/09/10 19:22:43 kernel warning: kernel was not built with custom dyld blob
24/09/10 19:22:43 kernel warning: using standard dyld with patcher enabled

Another thing I've noticed is that "About this Mac" says Unknown CPU since V3 of your kernel, though I'm not sure if it's your kernel or Chameleon as I've been testing their latest RC5 release.

[davisin666]

I'll stay in V3 XD

[$The-King$]

hi people who use updated legacy kernel is vmware fusion allowed to be setuped or say non intel cpu
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2204/vmware.png
thanks
anv kernel rev4 vmware work perfect but with legacy not work

[fxwizrd]

Thank you Andy for the V4. Everything seems to work fine here.
Though I am still not able to boot with arch=x86_64 kernel flag - getting into reboot loop.
Also I had to patch Firefox as it was randomly crashing. After patching with your AMD patcher it now seems to be stable.

Also I have a question: how do I determine which files need patching? I previously used Marvin AMD utility, which scanned all files in a specified directory and created a patcher package. Unfortunately Marvin utility does not work in 64-bit mode...

Thank you,
FX

It's probably Chameleon, try my branch as it has a CPU auto-detect fix.

Try setting the patcher to forcing for every app it encounters with:
patcher_opts=50

=FORCE+CPUID+SYSENTER
=2+16+32

[andyvand]

dont know what is problem with x86-64 build
Yeah, neither do I.
I suspect they removed some code and that is the reason that it doesn't work.

with out patching any thing by tools
on 32bit
nearly kernel works good just few very few problems you can say fly patching work ;)

on 64bit
all media programs crashes fly patching not works good :(

if you fixed 64bit fly patching may arch x86-64 works :D

AFAIK on the fly patching for x86_64 works just fine but the media programs (QuickTime in 64bit) crash because there are no Supplemental SSE3 instructions available.
The only solution is running it in 32bit mode (Get Info, check "run in 32bit")

[andyvand]

New version of the AMD instruction patcher.
This version fixes issue of no output file generation on universal binaries when i386 part needed patching but x86_64 part didn't

[snovich]

Everything working here for me. ;) I can use Logic 9 64 bit with 32 bit plugins, like on my macbook!!! I'm booting mac os with:
arch=i386 -force64 -maxmem=4096 busratio=20

I'm using andy kernel v4 and AMD sysenter trap patch (10.6.4)(I patched sysenter_patch with maxxuss patcher gui)

ANDY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!:D

I have Amd Phenom x4 965 Processor

That's a solution, but some apps are crashing anyway eg. iTunes while importing h.264 video. Even though it's x86 app, it crashes due to lack of SSSE3 on my CPU if the kernel is in x64 mode. It doesn't happen if i run kernel in x86 mode.
The same thing with valve's games - they crash in x64 on intro movies, even if the game's binary itself is 32-bit.

[snovich]

I tested all application i have installed on 10.6.4 with andy kernel -force64 and all work good, like with arch=i386 only. Quicktime works in 64bit at my computer. You can view image at my first post.

which files you patched

[snovich]

1. boot in 32 bit mode with arch=i386, with Legacy kernel 10.4.0 updated(v4).
2. download AMD sysenter trap patch (10.6.4) (http://OSx86.co/f36/amd-sysenter-trap-patch-10-6-4-t6498/)
3. I used maxxuss pather gui and patched sysenter_patch.txt
(Patcher patched just 2 files of 4)
4. restart, boot with -force64 & cross your fingers:)

[kabuu]

I gave boot With Verbose mode, appears these errors

"Decryption hasn't succeeded yet (probably will retry)
patch_exec_obj_segment failed
map_segment failed"

This is normal ?
I used Legacy Kernel v4 and instruction patcher
booting with "arch=i386 -force64"

Thank you Andy for his Hard work
Sorry for my English

[snovich]

I think that's normal with updated kernel.

how to make parralers work, its says its not an Intel cpu, can any one help?

[fumoboy007]

how to make parralers work, its says its not an Intel cpu, can any one help?

1. Turn on virtualization support in your BIOS.
2. Make the Parallels dmg read/write and mount it.
3. Open Terminal and navigate to the mounted dmg.
4. cd Install.mpkg/Contents
5. open -a TextEdit distribution.dist
6. Find "var cpu_check".
7. Set value to 0.
8. Save and close.
9. Run Parallels Desktop 6 installer.
10. If you're using a serial that you got from online, do not register or we're all effed.

[eMatoS]

Hey Andy, I've gone back to AnVal beta2 (chameleon) and my CPU is still not recognized in "About this Mac". Will try an older version but I'm sure it worked fine with that one.


EDIT: already solved, it seems that there was a problem with my rig being identified as an iMac 11,1 (smbios.plist) cause setting it to MacMini2,1 got the cpu back to the usual Core Solo (in About this Mac) and now even FakeSMC with the ITEController and Nvidia plugins are reading all the temp and fans correctly. Don't know why but it used to work fine before, I haven't touched the smbios.plist in quite some time and only recently I've noticed the cpu thing. Anyways, it's all right now, sorry for the trouble.

[kabuu]

I'm having problems with a few applications as "iTunes, Firefox, Cod4, Transmission".
sometimes latch the System ..
appears on the console Failed to create CSSymbolicatorRef for Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer
some solution ?

sorry for my english

[jackokk]

For your information,I get the error message from CleanMyMac program before access to it:

" We apologize, but CleanMyMac couldn't define your Mac's architecture. Probably, you do not have /usr/bin/arch program installed, and this is why Universal Binary plugin is unable to find anything. "

Thank you very much for your hard work, Andy!!!

[davisin666]

Thanks Andy for the kernel, now Front Row works!
I have used patcher_opts=50 arch=i386 and -force64

Great job!!!

Hello all,

I am getting spontaneous crashes time to time, with applications unexpectedly quitting one by one eventually resulting in total freeze of the system. It happens some time (usually hours) after system has been started. Today it crashed when the following applications where running:
Transmission

Hi, what's requirement to able boot with patcher_opts=50?
I'm only able boot with separate patcher_opts,
2, 16, 32, 64, 128
If I boot with patcher_opts=18 its got KP, also with patcher_opts=34
Instant reboot if using patcher_opts=48 and patcher_opts=50

Some universal applications with non intel 64 supported sometimes got random crash after running within 2 hours.
Transmissions, Speed Download, Firefox.

btw I'm using old machine, BIOSTAR NF61S-M2 TE, AMD Athlon 64 4400+ on 2.7 GHz :'(

[andyvand]

I gave boot With Verbose mode, appears these errors

Yes, look more closely, it gives these from "Waiting for DSMOS"
untill "DSMOS has arrived" message, it's because it waits for the decryptor

[andyvand]

Again an update.
This time I fixed CoreSymbolication support and fixing that issue also fixed backtracing issues.
Debugging is thus available :)
Normally no more CS errors thus ;)
I decided to abandon 64 bit kernel for now (untill I can figure out what's wrong with it)

there are no Supplemental SSE3 instructions available.

You can't just make an SSSE3 emulator?

Thanks for another update, now the backtrace works so it gives a very verbose crash report, for the sake of not flooding this post I pastebin'd it:

And this is the crash report i get when i try to use/validate my precious IK multimedia plugins with logic:

In case of the plugins it seems something to have to do with some functions of the dyld.
In case of steam it is the uninstalling of the exception handler that goes wrong (thread 7)

[eMatoS]

I have to run Pixelmator in 32bit for get it working, this is what I get when creating a new file in 64bit: http://pastebin.com/DYYvRMRk

[bltz]

@eMatoS: line 23: vPermuteChannels_ARGB8888_SSSE3, looks like it's trying to use SSSE3 which as Andy said before is not yet emulated. Maybe this is why.
<p>
For me Snow Leopard still does not work at all even in 32 bit, I get the same KP I posted already above (see post #6) even with rel5 (no more debugging info either, only hex numbers that do not make sense to me). Any idea? Andy where are you?

[opiniatre]

On my phenom II black edition (multiplier not locked) i'm not able to change multiplier, it freezes at boot. At default multiplier it runs smoothly.
I tried changing the bus ratio but no luck. Is it due to chameleon ?
Thanks
