Using a segment to reserve the AP (application processor) code page does not
work if the region overlaps with other non-memory types, e.g. bender checks
for the overlapping and denies to boot on such machines.
Without bender, the system boots up fine. So, partially remove the nova commit
"Add segment to reserve AP startup page" and instead apply the idea of
Cyberus's version. Place the AP boot code later during boot and save and
restore the memory before/after SMP bootstrap.

issue #5224
The initial SVM implementation (correctly) just used another standard
x86_64 page table for nested paging. The EPT implementation is for Intel
VMX only. Since we don't know the underlying virtualization technology
at compile time, we need to pick the correct page table implementation
at runtime.
Add add a AMD-compatible HPT page table implementation using the same
base implementation and (more importantly) allocator as the EPT
implementation. Add a Vm_page_table implementation that determines the
used virtualization technology at runtime and internally defers insert
and remove operations to the correct page table implementation.
Issue #5218
To make the x86 page table base implementation compatible with the
function signatures used in hw, make the Intel IOMMU specific arguments
optional:
- Make the `flush` parameter default to false.
- Make the `supported_sizes` parameter default to 1GB + 2MB + 4k.

The Intel IOMMU page table implementation in the pc platform driver uses
a page table allocator that is adapted from the implementation in the hw

Create a generic interface for x86 virtualization.

So far, the VMCB data structure was generated from it's parts (most

Instead of using one default policy when creating an mmc driver's

Both keys are physically the same on available keyboards (with varying

The ported i2c_hid driver contains driver code for the "Intel
Tigerlake/Alderlake PCH pinctrl/GPIO" device. Unfortunately, acpica
driver also accesses the same device on Lid open/close via ACPI AML code
of the DSDT table to read out the state of a GPIO pin connected to the
notebook lid. This would fail as I/O memory is handed out only once and
cannot be shared. The workaround disables the region check for the
specified GPIO I/O memory regions and provides both drivers shared
access to the regions.
This is a preliminary workaround. A general solution should separate the
GPIO driver into a component (e.g., platform driver) that regulates
accesses by i2c_hid and acpica.

This commit introduces the means to configure the framebuffer memory
used by the driver for sizing its buffers.
Originally the avail memory was derived from the avail ram in the PD
session, which roughly corresponds to configured RAM quota.
However, since it is only used in a virtual capacity, we can decouple
it from the actual memory and set to a value that accommodates larger
framebuffer resolutions like 3840x2160. If the configured RAM quota
is not enough to satisfy an allocation request the client will issue
a resource request.

Since "sculpt: adjust nitpicker priority", the nitpicker GUI server no
longer runs at the highest priority, yet the runtime_view of the

On slower machines, this results in a visible interference of the CPU-
heavy rendering of the runtime_view with the (now) lower-prioritized
nitpicker, in particular laggy pointer movements.
This commit subordinates the leitzentrale components below the priority
of nitpicker to prevent this interference.
It also simplifies the priority scheme at the static system init: The

Allow tweaking the driver selection using the manager config:
- The new attribute 'ps2="no"' suppresses the selection of the PS/2 driver.
- The new attribute 'intel_gpu="no"'suppresses the selection of the
Intel GPU and fb drivers, letting Sculpt fall back to VESA or boot-fb.
Note that the dynamic change of those attributes is handled in principle
but not advisable. E.g., disabling the intel driver after startup leaves
the hardware in a state that the VESA driver cannot cope with. However,
when statically defining the attributes in sculpt/manager/default, it is
now possible to build an image that uses VESA on an intel machine.

The existing allocation scheme of window IDs has the unwelcome effect
that a re-appearing window would not always result in a visible change
of the window list. In such cases, the layouter and decorator would not

multi-dialog version of menu view in Sculpt OS when manually enforcing

after the restart.

For each dialog, menu view requests a dedicated ROM session labeled after
the dialog name. The corresponding GUI session is also labeled as such.
Note that only one hover report is generated responding to all dialogs.
The hover report can be correlated with the hovered dialog by inspecting
the the 'name' attribute of the hover report's <dialog> sub node.
The former global config attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', 'width', 'height',

This patch lays the selection of the used storage target into the hands
of the config/manager file. By default, Sculpt selects the target by its
built-in heuristics, probing for a Sculpt partition. However, by
specifying a <target> node, one can explicitly select a storage target.
E.g., for using the 2nd partition of the SATA disk connected to port 1
of the AHCI controller, one can now specify:
<target driver="ahci" port="1" partition="2"/>
For selecting the ram_fs as target:
<target driver="ram_fs"/>
The latter case is particularly useful for custom Sculpt scenarios
deployed entirely from RAM. For such scenarios, add two lines to
your .sculpt file:
ram_fs: depot
manager: use_ram_fs
The first line configures the ram_fs such that the depot is mounted
as a tar archive. The second line configures the sculpt manager to
select the ram_fs as storage target. You can find this feature
exemplified in default-linux.sculpt scenario.
build/x86_64$ make run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
It is worth noting that the configuration can be changed at runtime.
This allows for switching between different storage targets on the fly.

systems, but 3GB on 32 bit systems. Because the IP stack is mostly used with
Genode's libc, where pointers on some kernels (base-linux) can be >3GB and we
don't want to make an additional copy of each buffer/iov interacting with the
IP stack, we short circuit the function

This patch replaces the dynamic use of Attached_rom_dataspace by a
new Rom_handler utility, which implicitly covers the initial import of

manually call 'update'), and provides scoped access to the content via a
'with_xml' method. The latter reinforces a programming style that does
not need to copy Xml_node objects.

Issue #5150
This patch moves the AHCI driver from the 'drivers -> dynamic'
subsystem to the runtime, managed by the sculpt_manager. One
implication of this change is the new need to supplement a device
port number to the 'Storage_target', in addition to the existing
label and partition. Previously, each block device was addressed by
merely a label specified for a parent session. The meanings of the
'Storage_target' elements are now as follows.
- The label corresponds to the driver component providing the storage.
- The port is used as block-session label when opening the session
at the driver.
- The partition(s) denote the partition information contained in
the block session.
Components operating as clients of the AHCI driver (e.g., a file system)
refer to their storage target as <label>-<port>.<partition> when a port
is defined (for AHCI). For drivers w/o ports, like USB storage where
each USB-block driver correponds to only one device, the storage target
is denoted as <label>.<partition>. When no partition table is present,
the '.<partition>' part is omitted.

would not consider the deleted snapshots anymore although they are still active
in the secured superblock and re-use their blocks. This would render the tresor
container unusable if the superblock with the deleted snapshots is not secured
in the end (driver crash, power down, ...).
Ref #5077
Superblock_control::Initialize used to decode a read superblock before checking
its hash. This is not necessary but may cause the operation to end up in a
decoding error on a superblock that is not the desired one anyway.
Ref #5077
Instead of iterating over all superblocks and checking each valid one,
check only the one whose hash matches the hash stored in the trust anchor.
I.e., the last one that was secured to the trust anchor. We must assume that
the other superblocks were corrupted in the meantime by operating the Tresor
container and, anyway, these Superblocks are not used anymore.
Ref #5077
The request of extending a tree used to halt when it found that
it could not add more levels to the tree because the maximum level index was
reached. Now, the library simply marks the request as failed, leaving it to
the user to handle the error condition.
Ref #5077
* differentiates request types that where merged formerly per module;
e.g. instead of type Superblock_control::Request, there are now types
* Superblock_control::Read_vbas
* Superblock_control::Write_vbas
* Superblock_control::Rekey
* Superblock_control::Initialize
* ...
each holding only the state and functionality that is required for exactly
that request
* removes all classes of the Tresor module framework and adapts all
Tresor- and File-Vault- related libs, apps, and tests accordingly
* the former "channel" state is merged into the new request types, meaning, a
request manages no longer only the "call" to a functionality but
also the execution of that functionality; every request has a lifetime
equal to the "call" and an execute method to be driven forward
* state that is used by a request but has a longer lifetime (e.g. VFS file
handles in Tresor::Crypto) is managed by the top level
of the user and handed over via the execute arguments; however, the
synchronization of multiple requests on this state is done by the module
(e.g. Tresor::Crypto)
* requests are now driven explicitly as first argument of the (overloaded)
execute method of their module; the module can, however, stall a request
by returning false without doing anything (used for synchronization on
resources)
* introduces Request_helper, Generated_request and Generatable_request in the
Tresor namespace in order to avoid the redundancy of sub-request generation
and execution
* moves access to Client-Data pointers up to Tresor::Virtual_block_device in
order to simplify Tresor::Block_io and Tresor::Crypto
* removes Tresor::Client_data and introduces pure interface
Client_data_interface in order to remove Tresor::Client_data and
move management of Client Data to the top level of a Tresor user
* introduces pure interface Crypto_files_interface in order to move management
of Crypto files to the top level of a Tresor user
* moves management of Block-IO and Trust-Anchor files to the top level of a
Tresor user
* adapts all execute methods, so, that they return the progress state
instead of modifying a reference argument
* removes Tresor::Request_and Tresor:Request and instead implements
scheduling at the top level of the Tresor user
* the Tresor Tester uses a list as schedule that holds Command objects; this
list ensures, that commands are started in the order of configuration
the Command type is a merge of the state of all possible commands that can
be configured at the Tresor Tester; the actual Tresor requests (if any) are
then allocated on-demand only
* the Tresor VFS plugin does not use a dynamic data structure for scheduling;
the plugin has 5 members that each reflect a distinct type of operation:
* initialize operation
* deinitialize operation
* data operation
* extend operation
* rekey operation
consequently, of each type, there can be only one operation in-flight at a
time; at the user front-end each operation (except "initialize") can be
controlled through a dedicated VFS file; for each of these files, the VFS
expects only one handle to be open at a time and only one file operation
(read, write, sync) active at a time; once an operation gets started it is
finished without preemtion (except of the interleaving at rekey and
extend); when multiple operations are waiting to be started the plugin
follows a static priority scheme:
init op > deinit op > data op > extend op > rekey op
there are some operation-specific details
* the initialize operation is started only by the plugin itself on startup
and will be driven as side effect by subsequent user calls to file
operations
* the data file is the only contiguous file in the front end and the file
operations work as on usual data files
* the other 3 files are transactional files and the user is expected to
follow this scheme when operating on them
1) stat (to determine file size)
2) seek to offset 0
3) read entire file once (this will be queued until there is no operation
of this type pending anymore and return the last result:
"none" | "failed" | "succeeded"; used primarily for synchronization)
4) write operation parameters (this returns immediately and marks the
operation as "requested")
5) read entire file once (the same as above but this time in order to
determine the operation result)
* the rekey op and deinitialize op are requested by writing "true"
* the extend op is requested by writing "tree=[TREE], blocks=[BLOCKS]"
where TREE is either "vbd" or "ft" and BLOCKS is the number of physical
4K blocks by which the physical range of the tresor container expands
(the physical range always starts at block address 0 and is always
expanded upwards)
* replaces the former <trust-anchor op="initialize"> command at the Tresor
Tester with <initialize-trust-achor> as there are no other trust anchor
operations that can be requested through the Tester config anyway
* removes the "sync" attribute from all commands at the Tresor Tester except
from <request op="rekey">, <request "extend_ft">, <request op="extend_vbd">;
as the Tester controls scheduling now, requests are generally synchronous;
at the rekeying and extension commands, the "sync" attribute determines
wether subsequent commands are interleaved with the execution of these
commands (if possible)
* removes "debug" config attribute from Tresor VFS plugin and reworks "verbose"
attribute to generate more sensible output
* removes NONCOPYABLE macro and instead uses Genode::Noncopyable and in-place
Constructors deletion
* introduces types Attr and Execute_attr where a constructor or execute method
have many arguments in order to raise readability
* renames the "hashsum" file that is provided by the Tresor Trust-Anchor VFS
plugin to "hash" in order to become conformant with the wording in the Tresor
lib
* makes the VFS Tresor test an automated test by merging in the functionality
of vfs_tresor_init.run and removing the interactive front end; removes
vfs_tresor_init.run as it is not needed anymore; adds consideration for
autopilot file structure in the Test and adds it to autopilot.list
* removes all snapshot controls and the progress files for rekeying and
extending from the Tresor VFS plugin; both functionalities were tested
only rudimentary by the VFS Tresor test and are not supported with the only
real user, the File Vault
* use /* .. */ instead of // ..
* use (..) instead of { .. } in init lists
Ref #5148
The virtual block device module used to hand over the wrong VBA as
parameter "rekeying VBA" to the Free Tree when allocating PBAs for data
access during rekeying. In certain constellations, this caused the Free
Tree to alloc PBAs that were still in use. The Free Tree PBA selection
algorithm, however, is just fine. When fixing the call parameter, it works
as desired. This re-enables the async rekeying test.
Ref #5075
The script tests the use of an encrypted file system that is created and
provided via the File Vault.
Furthermore the script can be used for test-driving existing File-Vault
containers (created with potentially older File-Vault versions) under the
current File-Vault version. This is done via the "LX_FS_DIR_TEMPLATE"
env variable.
Ref #5062
During one of the many re-factorization steps that were applied to the Tresor
library and its predecessor, the CBE library, one of the main features of the
project, the integrity check, accidentally received a grave regression. The
most recent version of the Tresor still used to check all hashes of meta-data
blocks but ignored the hashes of the actual data blocks.
With this commit, the hashes of all but yet uninitialized data blocks get
checked. The reason for ignoring uninitialized blocks is that they are not
actually read from disc but simply generated as an all-zeros block in the
driver in order to prevent having to initialize them all to zero in
Tresor-Init. That said, the integrity of these blocks cannot be compomised.
The according hashes in the meta data remain unset until the data block gets
written for the first time.
