E.g., the script manually tried to configure lighttpd and used the old
porting directory structure that was integrated in the repos. For the
same reason it produced compile errors with noux packages.
Ref #2398
We do not have debug symbols in the bin/ binaries anymore. Thus, use the
debug/ binaries instead. We now have kernel specific binary names for
ld.lib.so and some others. Adapt, to this fact as well. For doing so
without unnecessary output, provide a new parameter "silent" at the
"kernel_specific_binary" procedure.
Ref #2398
This patch changes the noux build rules to produce a tar archive in
'bin/', alleviating the need for this step from the run scripts.
This way, the visible result of a built noux package is a single (tar)
file in '<build-dir>bin/', which is suited for the use as a ROM module.
Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:
* GDB extensions for Fiasco.OC
* i.MX53 support for Fiasco.OC
* Kernel debugger terminal driver
* Obsolete interface Native_pd
* Obsolete function of interface Native_cpu
By building the posix library as shared object with an ABI, we
effectively decouple posix-using programs from the library
implementation (which happens to depend on several os-level APIs such as
the VFS).
With the current implementation resource requests are not automically
satisfied with slack quota by init. Therefore, this commit adapts RAM
quotas of autopilot scenarios to the actual demands.
The file space demand for the object files when compiling core has grown.
Therefore, the ram_fs component runs out of memory and requests additional
memory from init. On OKL4, where the physical memory is limited by the
elfweaver bootstrap tool, there is no more slack memory after the donation
of 1G to noux.
The test now forks twice - the parent forks a child and the child itself
forks a grand child. Both, parent and child, wait for termination of
their forked process with waitpid(). Additionally, the run script now
checks for exit of the parent (not any noux process).
This function returns the information whether the used platform relies
on USB HID for interactive scenarios by default as is the case for most
ARM platforms. In contrast, for x86 the USB driver can be omitted because
we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely
(ref #2250)
Issue #2197
Issue #2215
Issue #2233
Issue #2250
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.

The main feature for this version upgrade is the use of the instruction
emulator (IEM) to speed up execution and less often the slow recompiler.
issue #2059
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
Add option to load the initial overlay*.vdi from disk, but keep the changes
in a ram_fs.
Used with AHCI model for vbox_auto_win7. Currently we have no way to tell
rump_fs to unmount and write back data to disk before resetting the machine.
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.
* use Component::* instead of Server::*
* do not use old printf format anymore
* do not use old Genode::env()->heap() anymore
* avoid pointers where possible, and use references instead
* throw away the thread-safe variants of list and AVL tree,
nic_bridge became single-threaded in the past
* introduce Ram_session_guard instead of Allocator_guard
Issue #1987
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
Prevents the annoying warning about
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'bin/test.img' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
This patch moves details about the stack allocation and organization
the base-internal headers. Thereby, I replaced the notion of "thread
contexts" by "stacks" as this term is much more intuitive. The fact that
we place thread-specific information at the bottom of the stack is not
worth introducing new terminology.
Issue #1832
The commit avoids the need to have contrib sources of the kernel
available for this run script. We actually just want to build core and
not the kernel itself, which is always required after recent changes in
the ports tool.
Thanks to the log_terminal server, we no longer rely on a separate UART
for the noux output. We also skip the indirection of using a tar archive
but rather start the test-noux_form program as a mounted ROM module.

Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
With this commit preliminary audio support in VirtualBox is enabled.
The backend supports playback as well as recording sounds from within
a guest VM. Depending on how the guest configures the device model
the audio output may sound disorted. If the guest uses buffers that
are too small, i.e., 10 ms or less, frequent buffer underruns will
occure.
To get this low-latency one has also to increase vbox' update hz
to 200 (i.e., 5ms).
Fixes#1647.
Run script depending on VFS plugins (i.e., shared objects) like
vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so have to state this dependency rather the actual
binaries linked against libc. The latter introduces a library dependency
that is just not there. For example, the dependency on vfs_jitterentropy
is a result from the config node for libc which automatically loads the
plugin.
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
The result of the second run (TCP_MAERTS) gets extracted wrongly - due to the
change introduced by commit "run: always append to output buffer"
(Issue #1327). The output buffer is no longer reseted between several
run_genode_until invocation within a run script.
The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named
'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device
report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506).
A policy for 'report_rom' would look like:
<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>
If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets
printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support.
The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in
the '.vbox' file. Example:
<USB>
<DeviceFilters>
<DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9"
productId="2220" remote="0"/>
</DeviceFilters>
</USB>
The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed
scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work
with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack).
It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the
devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through
a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.

Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.

With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,

Be less verbose regards warnings caused by vmx_invalid exits - which triggers
on T400 more often because it has no Unrestricted Guest support. This leads

exit earlier if something went wrong.
