Replace the USB session API by one that provides a devices ROM only,
which contains information about all USB devices available for this client,
as well as methods to acquire and release a single device.
The acquisition of an USB device returns the capability to a device session
that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate control transfers
in between the client and the USB host controller driver. Moreover,
additional methods to acquire and release an USB interface can be used.
The acquisition of an USB interface returns the capability to an interface
session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate either
bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfers in between the client and the
USB host controller driver.
This commit implements the API changes in behalf of the Genode C API's
USB server and client side. Addtionally, it provides Usb::Device,
Usb::Interface, and Usb::Endpoint utilities that can be used by native
C++ clients to use the new API and hide the sophisticated packet stream API.
The adaptations necessary target the following areas:
* lx_emul layer for USB host and client side
* Linux USB host controller driver port for PC
* Linux USB client ports: usb_hid_drv and usb_net_drv, additionally
reduce the Linux tasks used inside these drivers
* Native usb_block_drv
* black_hole component
* Port of libusb, including smartcard and usb_webcam driver depending on it
* Port of Qemu XHCI model library, including vbox5 & vbox6 depending on it
* Adapt all run-scripts and drivers_interactive recipes to work
with the new policy rules of the USB host controller driver
Fixgenodelabs/genode#5021
This is a follow-up commit to the adaptation of the run scripts to the
consistent use of [build_artifacts] (issue #4860).
The missing build of libm remained undetected until the recent removal
of implicit shared-library builds (issue #5061).
* Switch from the legacy usb_host driver to the new PC version
in recipes and automated tests
* Update documentation snippets
* Remove outdated, unused usb_rndis run-script
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4416
* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
* Make package buildable for ARM too
* Move usb library to src targets for explicitly named targets
* adapt remaining run-scripts to use the correctly named usb drivers
Ref #2190
Also added a report_rom for USB devices and let the driver report like
in a real scenario. Can also be used for debugging by setting
verbose="yes" in report_rom.
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
This patch makes the creation of the libc's timer session depend on
whether or not the 'rtc' attribute of the <libc> configuration is
defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime' returns 0.
Fixes#2625
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).
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
