This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface
with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by
'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the
hood.
Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA
buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED
argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the
allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints
(by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can
revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should
generally be fine on the x86 architecture.
Issue #2243
This change avoids many repetetive Genode:: prefixes, making the code
easier to read. The patch also includes a few consistency fixes
regarding include guards and file headers. It also renames
Platform_device::String to Platform_device::Device:name.
Issue #2243
This patch adds the designated alternative to Dataspace::phys_addr to
the platform-session interface. Under the hood, the platform driver
still calls Dataspace::phys_addr but it should eventuelly become the
only caller before we can abolish this function.
Issue #2243
This commit optimizes the 'Child::resolve_session_request'
implementation by introducing an internal 'Route_model' for quickly
traversing routing rules instead of parsing XML on each session request.
Fixes#4068
This commit replaces the hand-crafted config processing by the use of
the 'List_model' utility. This has the following advantages:
- The parsing follows a common formalism that makes the code
easier to maintain and to understand. Several parts of the code
had to be changed (for the better) to make it fit the list model
approach. E.g., the child states have become more expressive
and logical.
- In the common case, the XML data is traversed only once, which
increases the parsing speed in dynamic scenarios.
- The code becomes easier to optimize. In particular, the patch skips
the re-evaluation of the session routing if no service is affected
by the config change.
The patch also revisits the init test by removing overly long sleep
phases and extending a few sleep phases that were too short when
executing the test on Qemu.
Issue #4068
This patch changes the 'alloc_aligned' interface as follows:
- The former 'from' and 'to' arguments are replaced by a single
'range' argument.
- The distinction of the use cases of regular allocations vs.
address-constrained allocations is now overed by a dedicated
overload instead of relying on a default argument.
- The 'align' argument has been changed from 'int' to 'unsigned'
to be better compatible with 'addr_t' and 'size_t'.
Fixes#4067
This patch avoids the RTC driver's aggressive polling during the
(CPU-bounded) boot of Sculpt OS. As the RTC is not needed during bootup,
this patch reduces the boot time (on Qemu) by 2-4 seconds.
Fixes#4065
If 'system="yes"' is specified in the <config>, the platform driver now
monitors the content of the system ROM. Should the value become "reset",
a reset is triggered using information obtained from the ACPI driver.
Related to issue #2726
The change of the platform driver is needed to avoid a parsing error of
the ACPI ROM when encountering an unexpected <reset> node.
Thanks to Alexander Boettcher for the preventing the regression of #3829
and improving the adherence to the ACPI spec when parsing the reset type.

Fixes#4043.
This patch adds the missing destruction of session-state objects of
local services when closing a session. Because of the missing
destruction, those session-state object remained part of the server
ID space. This becomes a problem once the backing store of the session
state object vanishes, that is when the client child gets removed from
the sandbox. Hence, the removal of a child with an open session to a
local service would lead to the corruption of the server ID space.
This patch adds the missing session.destroy() call.
Fixes#4044
This patch fixes a corner case where a child is destructed while a
asynchronous close request to a sibling server is still pending.
The child immediately discarded the session ID as the end of the
close-session processing, assuming that this ID is never to be needed
again. The session-state continues to exist to handle asynchrous close
protocol with the server.
However, if the child is destructed at this point (before the server
responded to the session request), the destruction of the child would
not cover the discharging of the session state because the session state
was no longer be part of the client's ID space. So once the asynchronous
close response from the server came in, the session state contained
stale information, in particular a stale closed_callback pointer.
The patch fixes the problem by deferring the discarding of the client ID
to the point where the session state is actually destructed. So the
session of a pending close response is covered by the child destructor.
Thanks to Pirmin Duss for reporting this issue along with a test
scenario for reproducing it!

This way, the redirected env sessions for the CPU burner are no longer
called directly by init. Init stays independent from the behavior of the
CPU balancer.
Issue #3837
Issue #4029
This shim component can be used in case where env sessions of child
(i.e., child's PD session) must be routed to another child of init.
Without the shim, init would directly need to interact with these
sessions and would thereby make itself dependent of the server's
behavior. RPC calls to a server hosted as a child lead to all kinds of
problems such as livelock situations, and putting the robustness of init
at the whim of its child.
With the shim, init merely needs to bootstrap the shim component by
routing the shim's env sessions to core as usual. The server is only
used for the sessions for the actual application hosted atop the shim.

Ref #3971
In order to perform a smooth transition from NIC drivers that act only as NIC
session clients to NIC drivers that act only as Uplink session clients, this
commit introduces an intermediate state in which all NIC drivers support both
modes. That said, a NIC drivers mode is now statically determined through a new
optional 'mode' attribute in the drivers <config> tag that can be set to either
'nic_server' (default value) or 'uplink_client'. Reconfiguring this attribute
at a driver doesn't have any effects. Whithout this attribute being set, all
NIC drivers will behave the same as they did before the commit. When set to
'uplink_client', however, instead of providing a Nic service, they request
an Uplink session whenever their network interface becomes "UP" and close the
session whenever their network interface becomes "DOWN".
Ref #3961
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
Adds new Uplink session interface, the corresponding client side (Client,
Connection), and the corresponding API archives. An Uplink session is almost
the same as a NIC session with the difference that the roles of the end points
are swapped. An Uplink client is the one that provides a network interface
(for instance, a NIC driver) whereas an Uplink server is the one that uses
that network interface (for instance, a networking stack).
Therefore, in contrast to the NIC session, MAC address and link state come from
the Uplink client. The link state is reflected through the lifetime of an
Uplink session: The client requests the session only when the link state is
"UP" and closes it whenever the link state becomes "DOWN" again. The MAC
address is transmitted from the Uplink client to the Uplink server as an
argument of the session request.

When holding at least one key or button, the hovering should never

When reconfiguring the NIC router modifies the information that DHCP clients

accordingly.

The driver is faily simple and does not support fancy features like

Fix#3825
To simplify writing native VirtIO drivers for Genode add helper classes
representing VirtIO device and queue. The queue implementation should
be platform independant. The device abstraction however is closely tied
to the VirtIO transport being used (PCI/MMIO). Both PCI and MMIO
implementations expose the same public API so the actual driver logic
should be the same regardless of which transport is used.
Its also important to note that the PCI version of Virtio::Device
currently does not support MSI-X interrupts. Unfortunately my kowledge
about PCI bus is very limited and my main area of interest was to get
VirtIO drivers working on virt_qemu ARM/Aarch64 platform. As such all
the VirtIO drivers I plan to submit will work with PCI bus, but might
not use some extended capabilities.
Ref #3825
The VirtIO device configuration on Qemu is dynamic. The
order and presence of different command line switches affects
base address and interrupt assignment of each device. One could
probably hard-code the necessary switches and resulting XML ARM
platform driver configuration in each run script, but this seems
like troublesome and hard to maintain solution.
This patch explores an alternative approach to the problem.
It implements a ROM driver which probes the address space region
Qemu virt machines assign to VirtIO MMIO devices and exposes the
result as XML via a ROM session. This XML output can be fed directly
as config to the generic ARM platform driver.
Ref #3825
Right now the same code dealing with nic setup on qemu is duplicated
in many different run scripts. It makes it unnecesarily complex to

This patch fixes the corner case where the keyboard focus is defined
independently from user interactivity, e.g., the activation of a
screensaver or lock screen.
In this case, nitpicker would update its internal focus state not before
the next input event is handled. Should this input event be a press
event, this event would wrongly be delivered to the prior focused
session. Another problematic situation is the initial state before the
very first input event occurs. Since the focus remains undefined until
the first input event is handled, an initial key press event would not
be delivered.
This is a regression caused be the transition to the event-session
interface and the removal of the nitpicker's periodic way of operation.
The patch fixes the problem by applying pending focus changes not only
at the input processing but also on the code path that responds to focus
changes (e.g., focus-rom update).

Fixes#3889.
The combination of Net::Mac_address and
Genode::ascii_to(Net::Mac_address) required shaky quirks in several
places because GCC is not able to resolve the ascii_to overload if
base/xml_node.h was included to early. The current solution moves the
several ascii_to overloads "closer" to the Net types by putting them
into the Net namespace, where GCC reliably picks them up.
Hence, co-locating the ascii_to() utility with the overload type in the
same scope/namespace is good practice.
This patch removes the now obsolete <nic/xml_node.h> header file.

Fix#3876
This is needed to enable VFS plugins to notify VFS clients about file
changes that depend on the plugin configuration, E.g., whenever the vfs_ttf
plugin responds to a font-size change, it generates a watch notification
for the glyphs file. Since the change is independent from I/O, we need
to manually call 'handle_io_progress'.
With the change of nitpicker to the event session interface, the
formerly periodic hovering updates moved to the - now sporadic - input
processing. This has the unfortunate side effect that hovering changes
caused by non-user-input, in particular view-stack changes issued by the
GUI clients that change the view under the current pointer position,
would no longer be reported immediately but only after receiving the
next incoming input event.
This patch reworks the hover handling such that potential hovering
changes due to view-stack operations are evaluated immediately by
those operations, covering the update of the hover report and the
generation of artificial enter/motion events.
Issue #3812
This patch solves a corner case where one long-active job (e.g.,
read-ready request) stays at the beginning of the '_active_jobs' queue
without an ack. In this case, the '_try_acknowledge_jobs' method would
wrongly stop processing the subsequent acknowledgements. In practice,
this can lead to a delayed sending of acknowledgements until new I/O or
client requests occur. In particular, Vim in Sculpt's inspect window
sometimes did not immediately respond to key presses during tab
completion. Here, the read-ready request of the terminal prevented the
acknowledgement for read of directory entry from being delivered until
the next key was pressed.
Fixes#3873
The quota for the argument buffer is already accounted by using the
Attached_ram_dataspace _argument_buffer, which uses the Constraint_ram_allocator

Sculpt with more than 1000 Subject_info objects/trace IDs the memory
waste become noticeable.
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.

This is a follow-up commit to "nitpicker: make framebuffer and input
optional". It restores the dynamic mode-change support when using
'request_framebuffer="yes"' as needed in scenarios where multiple
nitpicker instances are used in a cascaded way. E.g., Sculpt's
Leitzentrale. The previous version missed to reconstruct the
'_fb_screen' on mode changes.
Issue #3812
This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch brings the input filter into a shape that is easier to
re-mold into an event filter, reversing the client/server roles of
the component.
* The 'Sink &destination' is no longer passed as constructor argument
to the individual filters but passed as argument to the 'generate'
method. This way, the final destination does not need to exist at
the construction time of the filter chain but can be created on
the fly (clearing the way for using 'Event::Client::with_batch').
* A new 'Source::Filter' interface with the 'apply' method aids the
cascading of filters during 'generate'. The modules now implement
the 'Source::Filter::filter_event' interface instead of the
'Source::Sink::submit_event' interface.
* Since the 'Sink &destination' is no longer a member of the filter
modules, character-repeat events can no longer be emitted in an
ad-hoc way. Instead, the character-repeat mechanism now invokes
a new 'Trigger::trigger_generate' hook that prompts the execution
of the regular 'generate' mechanism by the main program.
This patch is supposed to leave the semantics of the input filter
unchanged (validated by the input_filter.run script).
Issue #3827
This is an intermediate helper component for the transition of input
servers into event clients. It works analogously to the
input_event_bridge but it connects servers instead of clients.
In particular, it can act as glue between a traditional input driver
that provides an input service and the event filter that provides an
event service. Thanks to this component, each driver can be migrated to
the event-client interface individually.

This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.

Nitpicker used to unconditionally request a framebuffer and input
session. With the transition to the new capture/event session
interfaces, this built-in policy does no longer suffice.
This patch introduces the attributes 'request_framebuffer="yes"' and
'request_input="yes"' (with the default values shown) to nitpicker's
<config> node. If setting those attributes to "no", nitpicker won't
request a "Framebuffer" and "Input" session respectively.
Issue #3812
In the presence of potentially multiple output back ends, this
dirty_rect state must be maintained individually per back end. Instead
of storing the dirty_rect as view-stack member, the view stack now calls

propagate this information to multiple back ends. Unfortunately, the
patch must remove the per-view dirty_rect state.

Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
The 'vfs_block' component will give access to a VFS file through a
Block session. For more detailed information please look at its
README.
(On a technical note, the server currently only allows for one
active session and has only one pending back end request but can
easily be extended in the future.)
Fixes#3781.
Setting the 'size' attribute will restrict a reader to consume
0s up to the specified amount per VFS handle. The attribute is
parsed as 'Number_of_bytes', which will limit the amount to the
maximum of the addressable memory on the platform.
This addition comes in handy when needing to provide a synthetic
empty file with a fixed size.
Issue #3781.
So far the condition whether to spawn a new job or not depended on
the amount of data already processed. This could lead to spawning
more jobs than necessary if batching is used and in return could
result in creating invalid requests in case the tested block session
is not large enough.
In addition to checking the amount of data the test now stores the
number of the last block and checks if the current request is in
range. This properly limits the total amount of requests.
Issue #3781.
The seek offset has to be updated on partial writes according to the
current write position. Otherwise writes will override the content
at the initial offset.
Fixes#3780.
The blit API archive missed the CPU-architecture-specific variants of
the blit library such that all depot binaries worked with the generic
(slow) fallback implementation. This patch adds the missing pieces to
the blit API archive.
To enable logging of ROM session deliveries, set the "diag" on
session routes:
<route>
<service name="ROM" label_prefix="/bin/">
<child name="cached_fs_rom" diag="yes"/>
</service>

<route>
Fix#3772
Make the framebuffer driver for pl11x chipsets,
the ps2 input driver for pl050, and the lan9116 NIC driver independent from
the pbxa9 board by using the newly introduced common ARM platform driver API.
Ref #3299
* Remove input driver specific to i.MX53 tablet board from QSB driver pkg
* Move GPIO settings for QSB LVDS backlight out of framebuffer driver into
GPIO driver config
* Move PWM driver functionality out of framebuffer driver
* Make framebuffer driver configureable, and less dependent on
platform driver i.MX53 specifics
- 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 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
The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.
- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
does not exist (yet)
Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.
The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.
Fixes#3733
