Note, OpenSSL now comes as one combined depot archive *openssl* that
replaces the former *libssl* and *libcrypto* archives. The libraries are
still separate binaries for compatibility with legacy software.
Issue #3773
It seems that with the nigthly autopilot the data port (that is choosen by the
client) may stay some time (minutes) allocated after the a test run. This
causes successive tests to fail when trying to reuse the port.
* Use a unique data port for each target platform in the range of 18000-18099.
* Add documentation on how to prepare for running the test on a Linux target.
* Remove Qemu-specific code paths as Qemu isn't supported anymore by the script
since the introduction of the Uplink session (running with a NIC router on
Qemu was never supported and now we always need a NIC router).
Ref #3961
The contrib code is updated from 2.4.1 to version 5.2.0 and the used
device-model is changed to QEMU xHCI. Due to this change older guests
OSes, namely Windows 7, that relied on the NEC xHCI device-model will
not work anymore.
The 'Qemu::Controller' interface was extended by an 'info' method, which
returns the vendor and product ID. This allows for removing the
hard-coded values in the VirtualBox glue code.
Issue #4018.
The former implemention assumed that the guest physical memory is
mapped continously. This, however, is not true. Writing larger
files to an USB stick with a Windows 10 guest would therefore lead
to data corruption.
The current implementation uses a bounce buffer to copy the data
to and from the guest physical memory and leaves dealing with the
memory mappings entirely up to the VMM.
Fixes#4017.
* 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
Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.
Ref #3961
This commit restores the diag feature for selecting diagnostic output of
services provided by core. This feature became unavailable with commit
"base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs", which hard-wired the
diag flag for core services to false.
To control this feature, three possible policies can be expressed in a
routing target of init's configuration:
* Forcing silence by specifying 'diag="no"'
* Enabling diagnostics by specifying 'diag="yes"'
* Forwarding the preference of the client by omitting the 'diag'
attribute
Fixes#3962
Instead of the generic name, call the PCI driver 'pci_audio_drv'.
This is preliminary clean-up work before introducing the USB audio
driver.
Issue #3929.
Right now the same code dealing with nic setup on qemu is duplicated
in many different run scripts. It makes it unnecesarily complex to
change the existing config or add support for new nic types. Lets move
all this common code to qemu.inc.
Ref #3825
By default, bash brings its own version of 'getenv', named exactly like
the libc function. This becomes a problem in fork/execve scenarios if
the dynamic linker resolves 'getenv' to the bash binary instead of the
libc.
This patch fixes the generate step of the genodians.org scenario.
Issue #3882
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.
Ref #3816
The patches disable VBOX_IGNORE_FLUSH and a sanity check in the VMDK
backend. This enables passing an explicit flush request by the guest
down to the VFS.
Fixes#3743.
