This commit moves the headers residing in `repos/base/include/spec/*/drivers`
to `repos/base/include/drivers/defs` or repos/base/include/drivers/uart`
respectively. The first one contains definitions about board-specific MMIO
iand RAM addresses, or IRQ lines. While the latter contains device driver
code for UART devices. Those definitions are used by driver implementations
in `repos/base-hw`, `repos/os`, and `repos/dde-linux`, which now need to
include them more explicitely.
This work is a step in the direction of reducing 'SPEC' identifiers overall.

This patch replaces the set-defaults command by a reset command, which
is needed to use the Lenovo x250 trackpoint. (original patch by
Christian Prochaska)
For asynchronously provided sessions, the parent has to maintain the
session state as long as the server hasn't explicitly responded to a
close request. For this reason, the lifetime of such session states is
bound to the server, not the client.
When the server responds to a close request, the session state gets
freed. The 'session_response' implementation does not immediately
destroy the session state but delegates the destruction to a client-side
callback, which thereby also notifies the client. However, the code did
not consider the case where the client has completely vanished at
session-response time. In this case, we need to drop the session state
immediately.
Fixes#2391
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.
The base class of Registered must provide a virtual destructor to enable
safe deletion with just a base class pointer. This requirement can be
lifted by using Registered_no_delete in places where the deletion
property is not needed.
Fixes#2331
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
The test used to rely on init's formerly built-in policy of answering
resource requests with slack memory, if available. Since init no longer
responds to resource requests in an autonomous way, we use a dynamically
configured sub-init instance as runtime for the test. This instance, in
turn, is monitored and controlled such that resource requests are
result in quota upgrades. The monitoring component is implemented in
the same test-resource_request program as the test. Both roles are
distinguished by the "role" config attribute.
This is a follow-up to "init: explicit response to resource requests".
This patch equips init with the ability to act as a server that forwards
session requests to its children. Session requests can be routed
depending of the requested service type and the session label
originating from init's parent.
The feature is configured by one or multiple <service> nodes hosted in
init's <config> node. The routing policy is selected by via the regular
server-side policy-selection mechanism, for example:
<config>
...
<service name="LOG">
<policy label="noux">
<child name="terminal_log" label="important"/>
</policy>
<default-policy> <child name="nitlog"/> </default-policy>
</service>
...
</config>
Each policy node must have a <child> sub node, which denotes name of the
server with the 'name' attribute. The optional 'label' attribute defines
the session label presented to the server, analogous to how the
rewriting of session labels works in session routes. If not specified,
the client-provided label is presented to the server as is.
Fixes#2247
This patch removes the formerly built-in policy of responding to
resource requests with handing out slack quota. Instead, resource
requests have to be answered by an update of the init configuration with
adjusted quota values.
Note that this patch may break run scripts that depend on init's
original policy. Those run scripts may be adjusted by increasing the
quota for the components that use to inflate their RAM usage during
runtime such that the specified quota suffices for the entire lifetime
of the component.
This patch improves init's dynamic reconfigurability with respect to
adjustments of the RAM quota assigned to the children.
If the RAM quota is decreased, init withdraws as much quota from the
child's RAM session as possible. If the child's RAM session does not
have enough available quota, a resource-yield request is issued to
the child. Cooparative children may respond to such a request by
releasing memory.
If the RAM quota is increased, the child's RAM session is upgraded.
If the configuration exceeds init's available RAM, init re-attempts
the upgrade whenever new slack memory becomes available (e.g., by
disappearing other children).
This patch enables init to apply changes of any server's <provides>
declarations in a differential way. Servers can in principle be extended
by new services without re-starting them. Of course, changes of the
<provides> declarations may affect clients or would-be clients as this
information is taken into account for the session routing.
Under certain timing conditions, the test would end up flushing the
input from the input filter in a nested way, which ultimately resulted
in lost input events of the outer nesting level. This patch eliminates
this corner case and thereby stabilizes the key-repeat test.
Transfer quota to the session local RAM session to react to the
Quota_exceeded exception properly.
The platform driver keeps a session local RAM session for each of its
clients that is used to allocate DMA memory. A client needs to transfer
some of its quota to the platform driver, which in return transfers this
quota to the session local RAM session. As it happens allocating memory
from a RAM session involves book keeping and in this case, where the
available quota in the session did not suffice and the request was only
a few KiB, the platform driver handled the exception wrongly and did not
transfer the quota.
This problem did not surface up to now because all drivers allocate DMA
memory in larger chunks and the book keeping overhead was of no
consequence as the initial quota transfer probably covered the overhead.
Fixes#2316.
* Increase test-thread count to trigger quota exceeding on all platforms
* Synchronize test-thread destruction, otherwise an half-destructed thread
object can lead to an error message of the thread to be destructed,
which causes a deadlock, when the destructed thread still holds the log lock
* Limit SMP settings for QEMU to x86 (Ref #2307)
The signal_1/2/3 objects (which are threads) are in destruction, but still
signals are send to them. When the signal arrive and the memory for the
signal_1/2/3 object is already invalid we operate on stale memory and all
the locking infrastructure of the Thread don't work anymore.
Be more robust, explicitly wait for the termination of the thread.
Issue #2284
This patch improves the accuracy of init's quota-saturation feature
(handing out all slack quota to a child by specifying an overly high RAM
quota for the child) and makes the RAM preserved by init configurable.
The preservation is specified as follows:
! <config>
! ...
! <resource name="RAM" preserve="1M"/>
! ...
! </config>
If not specified, init has a reasonable default of 160K (on 32 bit) and
320K (on 64 bit).
This patch lets init apply configuration changes to a running scenario
in a differential way. Children are restarted if any of their session
routes change, new children can be added to a running scenario, or
children can deliberately be removed.
Furthermore, the new version of init is able to propagate configuration
changes (modifications of <config> nodes) to its children without
restarting them.
Change metadata before submitting a packet. If the submitting thread is a
pthread, the metadata may be immediately change by the signal handler running
in the context of the entrypoint thread.
This patch improves the accounting for the backing store of
session-state meta data. Originally, the session state used to be
allocated by a child-local heap partition fed from the child's RAM
session. However, whereas this approach was somehow practical from a
runtime's (parent's) point of view, the child component could not count
on the quota in its own RAM session. I.e., if the Child::heap grew at
the parent side, the child's RAM session would magically diminish. This
caused two problems. First, it violates assumptions of components like
init that carefully manage their RAM resources (and giving most of them
away their children). Second, if a child transfers most of its RAM
session quota to another RAM session (like init does), the child's RAM
session may actually not allow the parent's heap to grow, which is a
very difficult error condition to deal with.
In the new version, there is no Child::heap anymore. Instead, session
states are allocated from the runtime's RAM session. In order to let
children pay for these costs, the parent withdraws the local session
costs from the session quota donated from the child when the child
initiates a new session. Hence, in principle, all components on the
route of the session request take a small bite from the session quota to
pay for their local book keeping
Consequently, the session quota that ends up at the server may become
depleted more or less, depending on the route. In the case where the
remaining quota is insufficient for the server, the server responds with
'QUOTA_EXCEEDED'. Since this behavior must generally be expected, this
patch equips the client-side 'Env::session' implementation with the
ability to re-issue session requests with successively growing quota
donations.
For several of core's services (ROM, IO_MEM, IRQ), the default session
quota has now increased by 2 KiB, which should suffice for session
requests to up to 3 hops as is the common case for most run scripts. For
longer routes, the retry mechanism as described above comes into effect.
For the time being, we give a warning whenever the server-side quota
check triggers the retry mechanism. The warning may eventually be
removed at a later stage.
This patch equips init with the ability to report its internal state in
the form of a "state" report. This feature can be enabled by placing a
'<report>' node in init's configuration.
The report node accepts the following arguments (with their default
values):
'delay_ms="100"': specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before
producing a new report. This way, many consecutive state changes -
like they occur during the startup - do not result in an overly
large number of reports but are merged into one final report.
'buffer="4K"': the maximum size of the report in bytes. The attribute
accepts the use of K/M/G as units.
'init_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
with the memory stats of init.
'ids="no"': supplement the children in the report with unique IDs, which
may be used to infer the lifetime of children accross configuration
updates in the future;
'requested="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all session requests initiated by the children.
'provided="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all sessions provided by all servers.
'session_args="no"': level of detail of the session information
generated via 'requested' or 'provided'.
'child_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
for each child based on the information obtained from the child's RAM
session.
Issue #2246
This commit includes changes to the Nic::Session_component interface.
We now pass the entire env to the component instead of only ram, rm and
the ep because we need the env to open connections from within the
Session_component implemenation. So far only the cadence_gem driver
needs this, though.
Issue #2280.
When a directory gets destructed it dissolves the handles of each contained file
but the acknowledgement might be still in-flight. If we finally receive it,
it leads to an Unknown_id exception on the Handles ID Space in 'handle_ack'.
Now we catch it, print a warning, and go on.
The input_filter is the successor of the input_merger. In addition to
merging input streams, the component applies several forms of input
transformations such as the application of keyboard layouts.
Issue #2264
The read-ready packet informs the server that the client wants to be
notified if a handle becomes readable. When becoming readable, the
server acknowledges packet and the client may queue a read requests
accordingly.
This patch eliminates the need for a global allocator by passing the
parent-service registry as argument to the 'Slave::Policy' constructor.
Fixes#2269
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
Replacing the node lookup table with an Id_space removes the
limit on open handles per session and allows mutal associativity
between File_system handles and local VFS handles.
