It seems like the Kernel Debug Kit for macOS 14.2.1 (23C71) and macOS 14.3 GM (23D56) are both missing from the list of downloads at developer.apple.com. It would be great if you could add them to the list of available downloads. When trying to e.g. use the macOS 14.2 (23C64) Kernel Debug Kit on macOS 14.2.1 (23C71) it fails with the following error message: Error Domain=KMErrorDomain Code=34 "Missing Developer Kit: As of macOS 13.0, you will need to install a KDK matching your build 23C71 to rebuild kernel collections." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing Developer Kit: As of macOS 13.0, you will need to install a KDK matching your build 23C71 to rebuild kernel collections.} Is there a workaround for this if e.g. the kernel was not substantially changed in minor releases? What is the general procedure to release Kernel Development Kits? It seems like they are not released at the same time as the macOS releases and not for every build. Would it be possible to ensure that a Kernel Development Kit is released alongside the next macOS release (probably 14.3) and onward? I also filed a feedback at FB13555096.

Hello, I'm trying to build XNU with KASAN support. However I get error: clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress' for target 'arm64e-apple-darwin23.2.0' If I try to compile a non-kernel C code with -fsanitize=hwaddress, I get the same target error. But Apple ships HWASan kernels with KDK, which shows there is a clang which is capable of compiling hwasan code for arm64e. How can we compile hwasan sanitized code ourselves? Is it a private toolchain or released somewhere?

I am trying to debug a kernel panic in our kext. I can attach to the target Mac over ethernet if I: cause an NMI using add an IOPanic call to my kext and cause it to be executed use Dtrace to invoke a panic However if I reproduce the kernel panic which I am investigating, the Mac just restarts. How can I make the Mac wait for me to attach with lldb rather than restarting? My target configuration is: Mac is 2021 M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro macOS 14.2 (23C64) Network: Apple Thunderbolt 3 <-> Thunderbolt 3 adapter + Apple Thunderbolt 2 to ethernet adapters Boot-args = "debug=0x44 wdt=-1 kdp_match_name=en8" (I have also tried debug=0x104C0C)

I am using Xcode 15.2 Beta on macOS Sonoma 14.3 Beta with the macOS Sonoma 14.2 SDK. Similarly to post 702244, I am trying to build the same exact repository, partially for my own education. The issue I am running into is that one of the files references IOKit/hid/IOHIDDevice.h, which, in turn, references IOKit/IOReporter.h. Since both of these are searched for, with #include <…>, in a base path of Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers, it follows that there should at least be a file somewhere in that folder called IOReporter.h, but there is not. There isn't even a copy in IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers, although that folder has another version of hid/IOHIDDevice.h entirely, which does not reference a IOReporter.h file. Is the lack of an IOReporter.h file deliberate, accidental, or is the mere continued existence of a kernel-space IOKit IOHIDDevice.h, containing a deprecated kernel-space IOHIDDevice symbol, an accident; possibly a simple hold-over from a previous version? Is there a way to make this compile? Am I missing anything? Should it be assumed that deprecated kernel-mode APIs will simply not compile?

Given a pid_t, is there an efficient way to determine what child processes it has spawned? I found proc_listchildpids() in <libproc.h>, but there is no documentation for it. (I've been able to figure out that the argument is an array of pid_t, but as far as I can tell there's no way to know up front how much space I should allocate.) Somewhat related: given a pid_t, is there a way to get notified when that process spawns a child process, as well as when any child process exits? (I don't know in advance what processes will be created or when they'll terminate, so I can't keep track separately.) I know that DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_PROC exists, and while that's in the general area, it looks like I'd have to do a fair amount of secondary bookkeeping to keep track. Thanks for any advice. :-)

hi, I am using the openpty function in my code to run an interactive command, for example, "hdiutil convert -format UDRO /tmp/myFileName.sparsebundle -o ./test". The file myFileName.sparsebundle is an encrypted disk with a password. When running this command, it triggers the security server and a password input dialog box pops up. I don't want this dialog box to appear, and I want to provide the password through the fd_master returned by openpty. How can I achieve this?
