Hello, I was looking at trying to get a golang application running under rumprun to eventaully be on AWS and was wondering if anyone could point me at any starters or let me know where things are on that front? Otherwise I'm just going to start from scratch with the nginx hello world example.
Go needs support for rump kernel syscalls in the Go implementation. The NetBSD support available in Go bypasses the public NetBSD API (libc) and hardcodes the trap instructions. Since rump kernels use a different syscall mechanism from a trap instruction, it doesn't work. I think the popular option is to do syscalls from Go for rump kernels (or for all of NetBSD?) like they are done on Solaris: through the libc interface. But, anyway, I don't have hands-on experience with Go, so I'm just repeating things others have kindly educated me with.
For AWS, see here: https://www.freelists.org/post/rumpkernel-users/Amazon-EC2-support-now-in-Rumprun (and if someone wants to discuss AWS further, please fork this thread)
