This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
- Since Genode::strncpy is not 100% compatible with the POSIX
strncpy function, better use a distinct name.
- Remove bogus return value from the function, easing the potential
enforcement of mandatory return-value checks later.
Fixes#3752
This patch is a workaround for the missing implementation of
'Pd_session::transfer_quota' interface by the GDB monitor's PD service.
The missing implementation becomes problematic with the changes of #3750
that enabled the cap-quota accounting for core's CPU service.
In regular scenarios without the GDB monitor, the client of
'Cpu_session::create_thread' deals with Out_of_caps or Out_of_ram by
upgrading the CPU session's cap and RAM quotas. This, in turn, results
in a sequence of 'transfer_quota' operations at the parent.
Since GDB monitor implements a custom PD service, these 'transfer_quota'
calls try to transfer quota between sessions provided by core and those
provided by the GDB monitor. This does of course not work. To fix this
issue, the GDB monitor needs a major overhaul. This patch side-steps
the problem by handing Out_of_caps and Out_of_ram from the debuging
target.
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
- don't use 'qemu -serial mon:stdio' anymore as it no longer works as
expected
- use "bash -l" with [terminal] to read user's profile configuration,
e.g., PATH settings
- added missing boot modules and cap quotas
This patch also introduces the use of the RTC for creating directory
names and increases the rate of snapshot creation from 10 seconds to
one minute to make sure that directories are named differently when
reading the RTC clock at granularity of minutes.
Issue #3696
This run script is outdated and not regularly tested. In fact, the
tested mechanism (obtaining values from a '.sysctl/' directory) is
nowhere to be found, neither in noux nor the libc. The test still
returns success as it merely checks for the completion of the sequence,
not the printed results. Hence, it is not worth preserving.
Issue #3696
This run script tested the terminal VFS plugin as a new feature of noux.
In the meantime, the plugin remains as the only way for the interaction
of command-line-based applications with the terminal session. Hence,
the mechanism is now stressed by many other scenarios.
Issue #3696
This patch prefixes a few symbols in the make binary that are offered by
both the libc and the make binary. The clash of symbol names produces
confusing runtime linkage otherwise. This becomes a problem during
fork/evecve.
The new implementation relieves the main entrypoint from monitor jobs
for contended lock primitives and is based on custom applicant data
structures, per-lock resp. per-semaphore applicant lists, and a
libc-internal blockade with timeouts based on libc kernel primitives.
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
- Stop refreshing if all CPUs go to sleep, also in text mode.
- Any input resets update rate to 100Hz in graphic mode, which gets
decreased step by step down to 25Hz if no input is available (looking video

Make sure timers run at the same priority as component threads, otherwise
no timer progress can be made. See 'rtTimeNanoTSInternalRef' (timesupref.h)
and 'rtTimerLRThread' (timerlr-generic.cpp).
This is a follow-up patch for "noux: don't update mtimes for read-only
files". It eliminates warning messages during Sculpt's prepare step when
'cp' tries to update the mtimes of the source files.
This is a follow-up patch for issue #1784 that solves two
inconsistencies.
- The Vfs::Timestamp::INVALID matches File_system::Timestamp::INVALID
- The Noux libc plugin tests for Timestamp::INVALID instead of a
positive value.
The patch fixes the mtime info as shown in directory listings in
Sculpt's inspect window.

Issue #3550
This is an intermediate fix to handle sends to sockets shut down by the
peer already. A final fix in the libc would add support for the
MSG_NOSIGNAL send flag, generate SIGPIPE, and return the expected EINTR.
Then this patch is no longer required.
This commit also drops the obsolete patch for missing
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN), which is now part of libc.
The VFS server as reworked in issue #3547 responds to such an attempt
with a failure as acknowledgement, triggering the client-side error
"Error: packet operation=2 failed" at noux.
As genode.org site is now protected by TLS and unencrypted site
is redirected to enctypted one, download URL should be modified
to reflect this change.
Without this change, wget downloads just index.html file.

Fixes#3538
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
... and set initial time by using RTC session.
Up to now Noux used a monotic clock whose initial start value always
was '0' (which correlates to the start of the UNIX epoch) to provide
a notion of time. In addition it is now possible to use the RTC
session to set the initial value for use cases where having a proper
real-world time matters.
To use the RTC session the 'rtc' attribute of the '<config>' node
must be set to 'yes'. Thereby the session becomes a mandatory
dependency as Noux will not start without it.
Issue #1784
This patch complements the commit "libc: execve" with the ability to
execute files stored at arbitrary sub directories of the file system.
Issue #3481
Issue #3500
This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.
The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.
The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.
There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.
Issue #3497
This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc.
The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the
loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc -
intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc
internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a
heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g.,
libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to
any memory object allocated from the malloc heap.
Issue #3481
This patch extends the fork test with explicit checks for the cloned
content of the heap and RW segment as well as the seek position of an
open file descriptor. It adds the new libports/run/fork.run script
that exercises the fork mechanism implemented by the libc. It is based
on noux_fork.run, which tests the mechansim provided by noux. The
test program has been moved from ports to libports.

To enable the clipboard for a VM, add the following node to the
<Hardware> sub node of your machine.vbox configuration:
<Clipboard mode="Bidirectional"/>
Issue #3437
This patch enhances the noux_vim.run scenario to make it usable as a
testing ground of the terminal's and window manager's resize and
clipboard handling.
Issue #2079
The labels of clipboard ROM and clipboard report sessions of WM clients
must be consistent with the client's nitpicker label. Hence, we must
route those sessions through the window manager, analogously to the
approach taken for shape reports in #3165.

This is a follow-up commit to the libc update. The FreeBSD

To enable the use of uncached DMA buffers as RX and TX communication
buffers in between driver (service) and client, introduce a cache
attribute in the constructor of Nic::Session_component
Ref #3291
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
Discovered while creating an ext2 file system on an sd_card (no
partitions, imx6), which failed with an error message that stated the
device is in use. Genode's libc/posix layer has no notion of mount

Fixes#3271
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.
Fix#3257
The required memory of the VMM depends on the VM memory configuration (vbox)
and the available screen resolution. Check for insane configurations in the
beginning to avoid late surprises.
Issue #3216
The "Vfs::Vfs_handle" type should not contain any public members that
can be initialized by the VFS internally and by the application, so
remove inheritance from the "Genode::list::Element" class. The VFS
plugins must instead use lists of "Vfs::Vfs_handle" sub-classes, the
lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.
