Since unblocking the pthread directly may lead to corruption we need
to post-pone it. So we send a signal that should be handled by the EP
after the EP has finished its current line of work.
Fixes#4523.
The driver wrongfully disabled all APs if it was configured with an
auto-connect list containing multiple APs when one of those was
disabled as a result of using wrong credentials.
This commit changes the way network enable- and disablement are
handled by only operating on the given access-point in question.
It also removes unused code touched by these changes.
Thanks to Peter for bringing this problem to our attention.
Fixes#4517.
Both the Wifi driver and the WireGuard port used local implementations for
their source of randomness. Wifi used a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG for rapid generation
of random values but initialized this PRNG always with the same static seed
value. WireGuard, in contrast, requested each random byte directly from the
jitterentropy lib, which is considered to be very time intensive.
This commit removes the local variants of random.cc and introduces a new
centralized lx_emul/random.cc . The new variant combines the former approaches,
so, that jitterentropy is accessed only in order to generate a random seed for
a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG. Front-end requests for random values are then fulfilled
efficiently via the PRNG.
:Warning:
The output of the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG that is used in the new implementation of
the lx_emul randomness functions has known statistical problems (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoroshiro128%2B#Statistical_Quality).
Furthermore, the integration of Xoroshir128+ with the lx_emul code was not
reviewed/audited for its security-related properties, so far, and has the
known deficiency of seeding the PRNG only once during initialization. Thus,
we strongly advise against the use of the lx_emul randomness functions for
security-critical purposes.
Ref #4397
The driver did not allow for setting module parameters and so far
no one complained. Remove the option to prevent the misleading of
users.
Issue #4506.
This commit de-duplicates the redundant dummy implementations and
to some degree also the 'lx_emul.c' implementations while also
decluttering the various 'dep.list' files.
The code is moved into 'src/lib/pc/lx_emul' where it becomes part
of the 'pc_lx_emul' library.
Fixes#4500.
Instead of each driver providing its own header file use a central
header as the initcall order header should cover _all_ provided
initcalls resulting from the used 'pc_linux' kernel config.
Note that the 'pc_linux' configuration was extended with the
'USB_USBNET' option because the module's initcall is needed for the
Genode C API for USB glue-code and the 'PACKET' option needed by
the wireless lan driver.
The lack of theses options was not noticed as each driver used its
own initcall header so far that stemmed from the initial porting
effort.
Issue #4500.
In case we are instructed to reauthenticate and were already
authenticated we ignore the request in the management layer
and let 'wpa_supplicant' deal with that.
Fixes#4488.
When using the framebuffer driver on this machine the
'cpu_latency_qos_request_active' dummy is triggered. Removing the
trace-and-stop call makes the driver usable.
In addition, 'cpu_latency_qos_remove_request' is changed as well
although it is guarded by 'cpu_latency_qos_request_active'.
Fixes#4489.
The error message
"Command buffer creation failed" in intel_dsb.c repeatedly appears
during connector hotplug. Since the driver works also without this DMA offload
optimization, disable the functionality.
Issue #4450
The driver falls in line with the previous 'legacy_wifi_drv' component
where the ported wireless LAN stack and device driver is encapsulated
in a library. This library in return is used by the 'Libc::Component'
providing the necessary environment for the 'wpa_supplicant'.
In constrast to the old driver a 'wifi' VFS plugin is in charge of
initalizing the 'Lx_kit::Env' prior to executing any static
constructors.
Fixes#4455.
In case where the ported driver or protocol stack is executed from
an already managed environment, e.g. the libc, the execution
of the static constructors will be performed at the appropriate
time.
Issue #4455.
The i2c code has a busy loop (see commit for the location), which expects that
the jiffies advances without a cooperative scheduling decision.
Issue #4450
Encountered on the Fuji5 where for reasons currently unknown the
first xHCI HC (0:0d.0) could not be initialize due to incomplete
interupt informations. The other HCs appear to work fine (tested
with a USB low-speed mouse).
required by the upcoming update of the intel display driver. Make this addition
explicit, because it triggers adjustment also on the new pc_usb_host_drv.
Issue #4450
.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it
must be unexported before calling third-party build systems recursively.
* Drivers have to use lx_kit/memory_dma.cc
* Protocol-stacks use lx_kit/memory_non_dma.cc
* Moreover the device-dependent lx_emul parts get removed
from the common lx_emul import rules
Fix#4443
* Unifies the declaration of callbacks which manage driver/client
shared dataspaces
* Move the Linux driver-specific callback implementation to the
lx_emul library from the PC's USB host driver
