_timestamp() returns CPU local values which may not be in sync with _ts
taken from another CPU. Be robust and don't produce wraparound/negative
timeout values.
Issue #3657
- 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
The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.
As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.
Issue #3720
This patch fixes the handling of the corner case where the allocation of
a trace buffer throws 'Out_of_caps' or 'Out_of_ram'. Under this
circumstance, the '_buffer' would still be flagged with the 'size',
which prevented any subsequent allocation attempt. This patch fixes the
problem by initializing the 'size' after the potentially throwing
allocation.
The problem triggered with the test-trace_logger after the accounting of
core's TRACE service (replacing the 'Allocator_guard' by
'Constrained_ram_allocator') became more accurate.
Related to issue #3750
The 'WHITESPACE' case of the _calc_len method wrongly accessed the
character before checking upper bound of the token. The problem is fixed
by switching the order of both conditions.
Fixes#3756
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
This patch largely reverts the commit "base: lay groundwork for
base-linux caps change" because the use of 'epoll' instead of 'select'
alleviated the need to allocate large FD sets, which motivated the
introduction of the 'Native_context' hook.

If trace is enabled for component than an attempt to put message into
trace buffer is performed using log_output policy. If it succeeds than
message is not put to logs using log service.
Fixes#3714
This commit puts all C++ runtime/support symbols of ld.lib.so in a
dedicated section of base/lib/symbols/ld and mirrors the section to
libports/lib/symbols/libc. So, the libc ABI resolves potential C++
runtime dependencies of base-ABI-agnostic components at link time. The
runtime resolution is done by the linker by symbol lookup in ld.lib.so.
Issue #3720
The former scheme left open a race window between
_process_incoming_signals() and wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal()
resulting in both threads calling block_for_signal() and blocking
forever with one unprocessed signal.
Fixes#3704
This is needed to execute the tool-chain scenario on base-nova.
Otherwise, the fork mechanism stumbles upon a region conflict
between ldso allocations and the application heap.
Fixes#3706
This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction
Fix#3685
Formerly, _next was always updated to the last free'd allocation, which
left large gaps on alloc/free bursts. Now, we try keep allocation
density high from the start of the array and ensure that allocations
happen at the lowest available index in the bit array.
Fixes#3679
This patch makes the 'with_raw_node' method more useful in situations
where content of an Xml_node is fed into an Xml_generator, i.e., the
rules report/rom mechanism of the window layouter.
The applicant_to_wake_up() member must be initialized to 0 to keep the

"base: add mutex as derivate of lock"
Issue #3662
The mutex class is more restrictive in usage compared to
Genode::Lock.
- At initialiation time it is ever unlocked.
- No thread is permitted to lock twice. Warn about it
in case it happens.
- Only the lock onwer is permitted to unlock the mutex.
Warn about it and don't unlock the mutex in case it happens.
Issue #3612
If the root child requests a LOG service with the label "unlabeled" then
return a LOG session that logs unprefixed messages. This allows a external
test controller to recognize log messages produced by a blessed component.
By writing out all dangling characters at destruction time, the
'Buffered_output' utility can be used as a local variable rather
than a long-living object.
The new utility can be used to revert quoted XML attribute values.
Such quoting is needed whenever an attribute value can contain '"'
characters. E.g., in the menu_view's <label text="..."> widget.
Issue #1757
If the ROM service returned in invalid dataspace, reflect this condition
via a size of zero instead of triggering an exception of type
'Reconstructible<Attached_dataspace>::Deref_unconstructed_object'.
Issue #3606
The XML parser used to rely in C++ exceptions while parsing, which is an
artifact from the initial implementation. This patch reworks the code such
that exceptions are avoided in the common cases.
Fixes#3605
This patch changes the code of '_alloc_two_blocks_metadata' to not
leak the result of a partial allocation in the out parameters of
the method. This eases the reasoning about the absence of a
use-atfer-free problem (there was none).
Even though the call of map.metadata is known to always return a valid
pointer (because the meta data is assigned in the code just above),
better add an explicit nullptr check.
This commit uses CUSTOM_HOST_CC/CUSTOM_HOST_CXX instead of hardcoded
commands and introduces HOST_DEV_PREFIX.
Original patch by Roman Iten and Pirmin Duss.
Issue #3466
This patch removes the global variable 'blocker', which was expected to
be constructed via the global ctors. This mechanism, however, is not
used for the base library, which resulted in the use of an unconstructed
object. Specifically, the spinlock of the 'Lock' of the 'Registry'
defaulted to the LOCKED state (value 0), which eventually would lead to
a deadlock in the contention case of the cxa guard.
I could observe this deadlock once on during the component startup on
base-linux during the construction of the 'startup_lock'.
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly initializing the registry
of blockers via an init function.

Make sure that at least entry is present in the .dynamic section, so the
PT_DYNAMIC segment points to something valid in case there are no
dynamic symbols.
issue #3537
This patch removes ldso's builtin policy of removing any path elements
prepending the ROM module name. Instead, the ROM name is used as is.
This clears the way to access different ROM modules that share the same
name but are stored at different directories behind an fs_rom (e.g.,
/bin/bash vs. /usr/local/bin/bash).
Issue #3500
The allocation of regions within the linker area is normally left to the
best-fit 'Allocator_avl', which happens to populate the linker area
starting with the binary followed by all loaded libraried with no gaps
in between.
When replacing the binary during execve, however, we need to ensure that
the new binary does not conflict with any library that stays resident
during execve. This patch tweaks the linker's region allocation scheme
such that these libraries are placed at the end of the linker area.
Issue #3481
This patch extends the interface of the dynamic linker with the ability
to replace the running binary executable by another one. It is
designated for the implementation of execve. The interface consists of
two new functions.
'Dynamic_linker::keep' marks the specified shared object as unloadable.
This can be used to pin a set of libraries (i.e., the libc) within the
local address space while replacing the binary and other higher-level
libraries.
'Dynamic_linker::respawn' unloads the current binary, loads the one
specifed as first argument, and looks up the entry point symbol of the
new binary, which would be "main" for POSIX programs.
In addition to implementing the new interface, the patch adjusts the
linker at various places that previously assumed the binary to be
constant over runtime.
Issue #3481
This patch is a follow-up commit for "ld: load dynamic linker at static
address on Linux". It suppresses the stderr output of 'dd' when marking
the ELF binary as executable.
Issue #3479
This patch enables the fork.run script to run on base-linux. It should
be regarded as an interim solution, however, because the randomization
performed by the Linux kernel may still - by chance - produce a
situation where one of the libc's malloc heap regions intersects with
another dataspace dynamically attached to the child.
The better solution would be to make the 'Region_map_mmap'
implementation not depend on the kernel's allocation policy by using a
locally implemented allocator.
Issue #3478
The new 'Heap::for_each_region' method provides information about the
heap's used virtual-memory regions. This method allows for the
mirroring of the heap state as needed by 'fork'.
Issue #3478
By specifying the config attribute 'check_ctors="no"', the dynamic
linker won't abort the program on a missing call of
'Env::exec_static_constructors'. This is the case for forked programs
where the ctors were already executed by the forking program prior the
fork operation.
Issue #3478
This patch enhances the 'base/shared_object.h' interface of the dynamic
linker with the function 'for_each_loaded_object', which allows the
caller to obtain information about the currently loaded binary and
shared libraries.
The new interface is a base mechanism needed for implementing 'fork' in
the libc.
Issue #3478
This patch handles the case where a PD's cap quota becomes exhausted
on the attempt to transfer caps via 'Env::pd().transfer_quota'. The
solution mirrors the existing code for RAM quota.
Prior this patch, the 'transfer_quota' operation would trigger an
'Out_of_caps' exception.
The warning falsely detected cases where shared objects where loaded before
exec_static_constructors() was called as unneeded even in cases were the
binary itself contained static globals.
The commit also removes one redundant call to exec_static_constructors()
from the block tester.
The lazy-timer test depends on the faster-timer handler to be executed
before the fast timeout occurs, which was pretty hard to achieve on Qemu
and a busy host machine. Therefore, I increased the fast-to-faster
timeout ratio from 50/25 ms to 200/25 ms and set the test runtime to
4000 ms.
