Use quota large enough so that the USB driver does not attempt to
request further memory. On the Raspberry Pi, init has no slack memory
to respond to such a request.
Pass both paths, absolute path to the mount point and the relative path
from the mount point to the file, along with an open handle rather than
just an absolute path. Otherwise, fstat fails if the addressed file is
implemented by another VFS plugin.
Fixes#1789
Move Genode/vbox memory configuration check to separate
genode_check_memory_config() function and call it in platform-specific
setup machine hook of accloff/nova.
The rationale for this change is to omit the check on Muen since the
guest memory is separate and not allocated from base-hw memory.
Issue #2016
Write tick count of next kernel timer to the guest timed events page if
present. This causes the guest VM to be preempted at the requested tick
count and ensures that the guest VM can not monopolize the CPU if no
traps occur.
The base-hw kernel expects a configured switch-event from the guest VM
to base-hw with ID 30 and target vector 32 to be present in the system
policy.
Issue #2016
Switch kernel timer driver to timed event interface. The base-hw kernel
expects a configured self-event with ID 31 and target vector 32 to be
present in the system policy.
ssue #2016
Add call to genode_setup_machine prior to machine registration in
frontend machine setup code. This enables platform-specific adjustments
to the machine instance.
The new function is used on hw_x86_64_muen to clamp the processor count
to 1 as multiple virtual CPUs are not supported on this platform.
Issue #2016
* Implement VMMR0_DO_VMMR0_INIT operation for Muen
- Indicate VT-x support
- Enable unrestricted guest mode
- Set CR[0|4] mask to enable masking of guest CR0.[NE,NW,CD] and
CR4.VMXE bits.
* Implement VMMR0_DO_GVMM_CREATE_VM on Muen
Return error if trying to create SMP VM as VMs with multiple CPUs are
currently not supported on hw_x86_64_muen.
* Add Muen-specific Mem_region type
On hw_x86_64_muen the guest memory layout is static, thus regions are
handed out from an array of memory regions.
Use sinfo API to calculate the base address of the VM RAM physical
0x0 region. This allows to dynamically modify the VM RAM size by
adjusting the Muen policy and Genode vbox files accordingly.
Zeroize all memory regions apart from VM Ram since Virtualbox expects
these regions to be cleared.
* Add Muen subject state struct
The subject state encompasses the guest VM machine state that is
transfered between Virtualbox and hardware accelerated execution on
Muen.
* Add Muen-specific Vm_handler class
* Use Vm_handler to run VM
* Instruct recompiler to flush its code cache
* Copy the Muen subject state to/from the Vbox PCPUMCTX.
* Use the VM interruptibility state to inform the recompiler whether
interrupts are currently inhibited.
* Explicitly handle control register access
If a VM-exit occurs due to a control register access, handle it and
directly continue hardware accelerated execution of guest VM.
Note: On NOVA control register accesses are handled by the kernel [1].
[1] - https://github.com/alex-ab/NOVA/blob/master/src/ec_vmx.cpp#L106
* Reset guest interruptibility state
Assert that interrupts are not inhibited in the Virtualbox machine
state and clear Blocking-by-[STI|MOV to SS] guest interruptibility
flags prior to running a guest VM in hwaccel mode.
* Set return code depending on exit reason
Do not unconditionally emulate the next instruction on VM exit. This
makes sharing the VM FPU state with Virtualbox unnecessary, as FPU
instructions are not emulated by the recompiler any longer.
Also, assert that the FPU has not been used by the recompiler
* Inject pending guest VM interrupts on Muen
Use mapped subject pending interrupts page of guest VM to perform
interrupt injection. IRQs are transferred from the Virtualbox trap
manager state to the pending interrupts region for injection. If an
IRQ remains pending upon returning to the recompiler, it is copied
back to the trap manager state and cleared in the subject interrupts
region.
* Inform recompiler about changed SYSENTER_[CS|EIP|ESP] values,
otherwise values set while running the guest VM hardware accelerated
may get lost.
* Implement genode_cpu_hz() on Muen
Determine the CPU frequency dynamically using the sinfo API.
Issue #2016
* The Vm thread is always paused and on exception to make sure that guest VM
execution is suspended whenever we handle an interrupt. Also signal the Vm
session to poke waiting threads (e.g. Virtualbox EMT).
* Implement Vm::proceed
Switch to the mode transition assembly code declared at the _vt_vm_entry
label.
Issue #2016
The entry enables interrupts and initiates a handover to the guest VM by
invoking event number one. The sti instruction is placed at the start to
allow exits to Muen before handing off to the VM if window exiting is
requested.
Issue #2016
The virtual PCI model delivers IRQs to the PIC by default and to the
IOAPIC only if the guest operating system selected the IOAPIC with the
'_PIC' ACPI method and if it called the '_PRT' ACPI method afterwards.
When running a guest operating system which uses the IOAPIC, but does
not call these ACPI methods (for example Genode/NOVA), the new
configuration option
<config force_ioapic="yes">
enforces the delivery of PCI IRQs to the IOAPIC.
Fixes#2029
The alternate stack must use the stack area as, e.g., Thread::myself()
depends on this property. Hybrid components do not depend on this
property and, therefore, use a static stack buffer.
Fixes#1935
* Align pitch value to 64 byte (thanks to cnuke for investigation)
* Get rid of extra dataspace retrival and attachment, now that we always buffer
* Consistently name all lx_emul helpers: lx_* (get rid of dde*)
* Add missing file headers
Fix#1997
Instead of providing a buffer to the client and blitting from that
to the "real" framebuffer as an option, with this commit we always do so.
Thereby its possible to immediately destroy the old framebuffer used by
hardware when a configuration change is done, and a new framebuffer
is used. This also simplifies the modesetting.
Moreover, this commit fixes an issue when not using the connector reporting.
Until now the initial mode detection of connectors was only done when
the report was created. this is a regression that entered the driver
when upgrading to the recent Linux kernel version.
Ref #1997
Use new env, component and logging frameworks.

Issue #1987
- platform_drv announces a separate "Acpi" session
- platform_drv waits for ROM "system" to change state to "acpi_ready"
- acpica waits for "Acpi" announcement
- acpica uses the platform driver via "Acpi" to reconfigure PCI devices
- acpica changes "system" state to "acpi_ready" after it ready with initialization
- platform_drv reacts on "system" state change to "acpi_ready" by announcing "Platform" session
- drivers start to operate as usual
Issue #2009
This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output
directly via a low-level kernel mechanism, if available.
On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.
Fixes#2012
This is a follow-up commit to "slab: throw exception if initial
allocation fails". It is needed because on seL4, the PD session quota is
used as backing store for the meta data of the PD's virtual memory. For
this reason, PD sessions on seL4 require more session quota compared to
the other kernels. Apparently, the default quota is too scarce to
complete the PD-session construction. By shrinking the number of
supported page-table entries, we reduce the size of the PD session
component so that the creation succeeds.
Issue #1983
Replace 'attribute(...).has_value("yes")`
with 'attribute_value(..., false)'.
This allows for boolean configuration to be set with values such as
"true", "false", "yes", "no", or "1", "0".
Fixes#2002
A configuration policy must match against a policy node label,
label_prefix, or label_suffix atttribute. A fallback to
<default-policy/> is provided as a label wildcard.
Fixes#1901
The sinfo function declared in sinfo_instance.h creates a static sinfo
object instance and returns a pointer to the caller.
- kernel timer and platform support to use sinfo() function to
instantiate sinfo object
- address and size of the base-hw RAM region via the sinfo API
- log_status() function in sinfo API
To circumvent problems on platforms with shaky hotplug interrupt notification
introduce a "poll" configuration option to the driver, which enables
polling for connector changes.
Fix#2004
The whole XML comment has to be parsed as one XML tag to support strange
but valid combinations like
<!---->
<!--invisible-tag></invisible-tag-->
Fixes#1424
The vanilla 'schedule_timeout()' Linux function expects a relative
timeout value. The first implementation of the wifi_drv, however, used
an absolute timeout value. This mismatch was overlooked when the
lx_kit, which adheres to the vanilla Linux semantics, was incoporated
in the driver.
Fixes#1990.
Instead of introducing a $(BASE_HW_DIR) variable that has to be defined in each
core makefile for the different base-hw targets, this commit replaces the
$(REP_DIR) variable usage in core.inc files with $(BASE_DIR)/../base-hw.
Ref #1955
Quota_exceeded message are of no use during session construction, since
the arguments of the ram_quota are used and no upgrade can take place (the
session construction failed and is so not available for upgrade)
Fixes#1983
Allocating a packet in the packet stream without a payload is not
allowed. Therefore we have to allocate CTRL message packets, that do
not have a payload, with a bogus length instead.
Directory_service::leaf_path returns a pointer offset from its argument
so pass member data rather than a constructor argument to leaf_path.
Issue #1775
This is an interim fix for solving the quota leakage problem of
the platform driver on x86 platforms. To properly fix that problem
one has to track which dataspaces where created by the platform driver,
so that freeing the dataspace and reversing the quota transfer is done
on correct dataspaces only.
Refer #1980
This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
Instead of passing on the Noux 'config' ROM dataspace to child processes,
provide a separate configuration for each Noux child, which is either
'<config/>' or '<config ld_verbose="yes"/>', depending on the
configuration of this attribute for the Noux process. This is also a
workaround to prevent multiple insertion of the same 'config' ROM
dataspace capability into the dataspace registry.
