BINMISCCTL(8) System Manager's Manual BINMISCCTL(8) NAME binmiscctl -- manage binary image activators SYNOPSIS binmiscctl add name --interpreter path --magic magic --size size [--mask mask] [--offset offset] [--set-enabled] [--pre-open] binmiscctl disable name binmiscctl enable name binmiscctl list binmiscctl lookup name binmiscctl remove name DESCRIPTION The binmiscctl utility is the management utility for configuring miscella- neous binaries image activators in the kernel. It allows adding, deleting, disabling, enabling, and looking up interpreters. Also, all the inter- preters can be listed. The first argument on the command line indicates the operation to be per- formed. Operation must be one of the following: add name --interpreter path --magic magic --size size [--mask mask] [--offset offset] [--set-enabled] [--pre-open] Add a new activator entry in the kernel. You must specify a unique name, a path to the interpreter, header magic bytes that uniquely identify a suitable binary for the activator, and the size of the magic in bytes. Optionally, you may specify a mask to do a bitwise AND with the header bytes. This effectively allows you to ignore fields in the binary header that do not uniquely indentify the binary file's type. An offset may be specified for the magic bytes using the --offset option. By default the offset is zero. To enable the activator entry the --set-enabled option is used. The activator default state is disabled. To make the interpreter automatically available in jails and ch- roots, use the --pre-open option to allow the kernel to open the binary at configuration time rather then lazily when the inter- preted program is started. The interpreter path may also contain arguments for the interpreter including #a which gets replaced by the old argv0 value in the in- terpreter string. disable name Disable the activator entry identified with name. enable name Enable the activator entry identified with name. list Take a snapshot and print all the activator entries currently con- figured. lookup name Look up and print out the activator entry identified with name. remove name Remove the activator entry identified with name. EXAMPLES Add an image activator to run the LLVM interpreter (lli(1)) on bitcode com- piled files and set its state to enabled. In this example #a is replaced with the old argv0 value so that lli(1) can fake its argv0: # binmiscctl add llvmbc --interpreter ''/usr/bin/lli \ --fake-argv0=#a'' --magic ''BC\xc0\xde'' --size 4 \ --set-enabled Set the state of the llvmbc image activator to disabled: # binmiscctl disable llvmbc Set the state of the llvmbc image activator to enabled: # binmiscctl enable llvmbc Delete the llvmbc image activator: # binmiscctl remove llvmbc Look up and list the record for the llvmbc image activator: # binmiscctl lookup llvmbc Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for ARM AARCH64 binaries: # binmiscctl add arm64 \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-aarch64-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\xb7\x00" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for ARM little-endian bina- ries: # binmiscctl add armelf \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-arm-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for ARM big-endian bina- ries: # binmiscctl add armebelf \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-arm-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x01\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for MIPS32 binaries: # binmiscctl add mips32 \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-mips-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x01\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x08" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for MIPS64 binaries: # binmiscctl add mips64 \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-mips64-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x02\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x08" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for PowerPC binaries: # binmiscctl add powerpc \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-ppc-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x01\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x14" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for PowerPC64 binaries: # binmiscctl add powerpc64 \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-ppc64-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x02\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x15" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Add QEMU bsd-user program as an image activator for 64-bit RISC-V binaries: # binmiscctl add riscv64 \ --interpreter "/usr/local/bin/qemu-riscv64-static" \ --magic "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\ \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\xf3\x00" \ --mask "\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\ \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff" \ --size 20 --set-enabled Create and use an ARMv7 chroot on an AMD64 host Use an existing source tree to build a chroot host with architecture over- rides: D=/path/to/chroot cd /usr/src mkdir -p $D make world TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv7 DESTDIR=$D make distribution TARGET=arm TARGET_ARCH=armv7 DESTDIR=$D With emulators/qemu-user-static from the FreeBSD Ports Collection, the emu- lator must be copied into the jail path specified in the binmiscctl com- mand.

It was developed to sup- port the imgact_binmisc kernel module. AUTHORS Stacey D Son <sson@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD ports 15.1 April 30, 2020 BINMISCCTL(8)
