Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.

This patch improves the C++ parser to accommodate the tools for
generating the functional specification from source code:
* Added support for class definitions prefixed with a
namespace as promoted by Genode's coding style.
* Improves robustness of the parsing of function arguments by
considering nameless arguments in function declarations, default
values, varargs.
* Consider const qualfiers in return types.
* Added support for the override, constexpr keywords.
* Parsing of overloaded operators.
* Improved handling of type definitions.
* Added parsing of template arguments.
* Handling of template constructors.
The port uses the Cortex-A9 private timer for the kernel and an EPIT as
user timer. It was successfully tested on the Wandboard Quad and the CuBox-i
with the signal test. It lacks L2-cache and Trustzone support by now.

LLC, Russia). This work is partially based on their contributions.
Fix#1467
The boot modules assembled by the generated boot_modules.s file is
accessed from core using struct Bm_header. Unfortunately the assembler
.long directive is synonym to .int [1] and thus has the same size as the
C++ int type and *not* long. Use the matching assembly type .quad in
boot_modules.s when generating the file for 64-bit platforms such as
x86_64.
[1] - https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Long.html
This patch contains the initial code needed to build and bootstrap the
base-hw kernel on x86 64-bit platforms. It gets stuck earlier
because the binary contains 64-bit instructions, but it is started in
32-bit mode. The initial setup of page tables and switch to long mode is
still missing from the crt0 code.
On each execution the output buffer is overriden when run_genode_until
is executed multiple times. Run scripts, that depend on extracting
information after several execution steps, e.g. noux_net_netcat, will
fail to do so. Therefore, we append the newly captured log output to
the old output buffer.

The mkfs.ext2 heuristics select the "small" ext2 usage type, which does
not fit well with GiB-sized pen drives. For example, the block size is
just 1024 bytes compared to 4096 for "default". Therefore, we enforce
the default usage type as this fits our use case of dumping the image to
USB sticks better.
The USB Armory is almost the same as the i.MX53-QSB but it uses only
one of the two RAM banks available in i.MX53. Furthermore we use the USB
Armory only with Trustzone enabled.

While booting up, some devices send garbage over the serial connection.
This can result in an unexpected EOF event within expect(1). A filter
program may be specified with '--log-serial-filter' to circumvent this
problem. Then, the output of the serial program is piped through
the filter, which may sanitize the character stream.

Somehow the "match_max -d" gets ignored if it is to far away and some
our run scripts fails because the buffer contains not all information
(seen for affinity.run on a 8 core machine)
This is needed at least by rump_ext2.run as it uses the perf-counter
in the jitterentropy-lib. On other platforms the perf-counter gets enabled
by the kernel by default. However, on HW, we keep the specifier to allow users
to disable it easily (e.g. for security reasons).

When building Genode for VEA9X4 as micro-hypervisor protected by the ARM
TrustZone hardware we ran into limitations regarding our basic daily
testing routines. The most significant is that, when speaking about RAM
partitioning, the only available options are to configure the whole SRAM
to be secure and the whole DDR-RAM to be non-secure or vice versa. The
SRAM however provides only 32 MB which isn't enough for both a
representative non-secure guest OS or a secure Genode that is still
capable of passing our basic tests. This initiated our decision to
remove the VEA9X4 TrustZone-support.
Fixes#1351
Some downloads are available via HTTPS only, but wget < 3.14 does not

Due to commit "run: relax IP power plug recognition + serial EOF",
when piping the serial command through 'tr', some characters might
get buffered, thereby preventing some run scripts to finish correctly.
This commit removes the 'tr' hack. Instead, to circumvent the 'expect'
problem, which kills under special conditions spawned childs used to
obtain serial line content, whenever EOF of the serial command is
recognized during the boot phase, the child process gets re-spawned.
* To communicate with IP power plug devices from Koukaam, to remote
control power supply of test boards, don't parse minor versions, but
support different IP power plugs
* TCL's expect may report an EOF when reading from the spawned serial
terminal, especially when using 'socat' to stream serial over TCP/IP,
although the spawned child is still running and delivering content.
This problem is clearly not dependent on the characters send, but
possibly due to strange pipe signals. When piping the serial output
through 'tr' the problem vanishs.
The older SOAP EOI protocol is not supported with AMT version 9+. By default

This provides bootable disk images for x86 platforms via
! RUN_OPT="--target disk"
The resulting disk image contains one ext2 partition with binaries from
the GRUB2 boot loader and the run scenario. The default disk size fits
all binaries, but is configurable via
! --disk-size <size in MiB>
in RUN_OPT.
The feature depends on an grub2-head.img, which is part of the commit,
but may also be generated by executing tool/create_grub2. The script
generates a disk image prepared for one partition, which contains files
for GRUB2. All image preparation steps that need superuser privileges
are conducted by this script.
The final step of writing the entire image to a disk must be executed
later by
sudo dd if=<image file> of=<device> bs=8M conv=fsync

The rumpkernel based tools are intended to be used by executing
'tool/rump'. Since it covers the most common use cases for these
tools, this script is comparatively extensive, hence giving a short
tutorial seems reasonable:
* Format a disk image with Ext2:
To format a disk image with the Ext2 file system, first prepare the
actual image by executing dd:
! dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/disk_image bs=1M count=128
Second, use 'tool/rump' to format the disk image:
! rump -f -F ext2fs /path/to/disk_image
Afterwards the just created file system may be populated with the
content of another directory by executing
! rump -F ext2fs -p /path/to/another_dir /path/to/disk_image
The content of the file system image can be listed by executing
! rump -F ext2fs -l /path/to/disk_image
* Create a encrypted disk image:
Creating a cryptographic disk image based on cgd(4) is done by
executing the following command:
! rump -c /path/to/disk_image
This will generate a key that may be used to decrypt the image
later on. Since this command will _only_ generate a key and NOT
initialize the disk image, it is highly advised to prepare the disk
image by using '/dev/urandom' instead of '/dev/zero' (only new blocks
that will be written to the disk image are encrypted). In addition
while generating the key a temporary configuration file will be
created. Although this file has proper permissions, it may leak the
generated key if it is created on persistent storage. To specify a more
secure directory the '-t' option should be used:
! rump -c -t /path/to/secure/directory /path/to/disk_image
Decrypting the disk image requires the key generated in the previous
step:
! rump -c -k <key> /path/to/disk_image
For now this key has to specified as command line argument. This is
an issue if the shell, which is used, is maintaing a history of
executed commands.
For completness sake let us put all examples together by creating a
encrypted Ext2 image that will contain all files of Genode's _demo_
scenario:
! dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/demo.img bs=1M count=16
! $(GENODE_DIR)/tool/rump -c -t /ramfs -F ext2fs /tmp/demo.img > \
! /ramfs/key # key is printed out to stdout
! $(GENODE_DIR)/tool/rump -c -t /ramfs -F ext2fs -k <key> \
! -p $(BUILD_DIR)/var/run/demo /tmp/demo.img
To check if the image was populated succesfully, execute the
following:
! $(GENODE_DIR)/tool/rump -c -t /ramfs -F ext2fs -k <key> -l \
! /tmp/demo.img
The rumpkernel tools are used within the Genode OS Framework tool chain
for preparing and populating disk images as well as creating cgd(4)
based cryptographic disk devices.
Execute 'tool/tool_chain_rump build' to build the tools and afterwards
'tool/tool_chain_rump install' to install the binaries. The default
install location is _/usr/local/genode-rump_.
The new 'select_from_ports' function allows a target description file to
query the path to an installed port. All ports are stored in a central
location specified as CONTRIB_DIR. By default, CONTRIB_DIR is defined
as '<genode-dir>/contrib'. Ports of 3rd-party source code are managed
using the tools at '<genode-dir>/tool/ports/'.

For further information see: http://wiki.netbsd.org/rumpkernel/. In this version
I ported the central rump components to Genode in order to take advantage of
NetBSD file system implementation. The new 'dde_rump' repository contains the

Genode file-system-session interface. Currently ext2, iso9660, and fat
file-systems are supported.

'check_installed' takes a command name as argument and tries to call 'which' in
order to find the command path. If that does not succeed, paths like '/sbin' are

There exist different default setups for a specific autoconf version:
* autoconf
* autoconf$(VERSION)
* autoconf-$(VERSION)
As of now, only the second option is recognized by the check in tool_chain.
This patch ensures that if one of those is present in the correct
version, it will be found and used in the build process.
Fixes#1053.
This block cache component acts as a block device for a single client.
It uses fixed 4K blocks as caching granularity, thereby implicitly reads

it only supports a least-recently-used replacement policy.

Instead of terminating tool/tool_chain when finding the first
missing tool, this patch runs all checks to completion before
bailing out. This eases finding missing programs, because the
user has to run the script only once to get a list of all missing
software.

Unless '-ignorestderr' is set on 'exec' in expect, any output on stderr
is interpreted as execution failure. In this case, 'create_iso' logs
some diagnostics but does not fail.
We repeatedly promote our ISOs to be bootable from USB storage.
Therefore, we have a hard dependency on 'isohybrid' and should fail in
the case that the tool is missing.
For PBXA9 qemu adjusts provided RAM chips to the -m arg. Thus we
filter user values and force value that enables all chips that Genode

mkisofs is the original ISO creation tool from cdrtools available on
many UNIX systems. genisoimage on the other hand is part of a mostly

This base platform is no longer maintained.
For supporting the Microblaze CPU in the future, we might consider
integrating support for this architecture into base-hw. Currently

The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of
long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out
to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer
client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a
multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call
by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in
an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can
be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single
thread.
The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA,
L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this
patch adds the timer test to autopilot.

'Bender' can detect serial ports accessible via PCI and writes the I/O ports

There is no obvious reason for having two different SPEC variables, definitions,

omap4 framebuffer driver (look at issue #505 and #506).
Using the new 'join()' function, the caller can explicitly block for the
completion of the thread's 'entry()' function. The test case for this
feature can be found at 'os/src/test/thread_join'. For hybrid
Linux/Genode programs, the 'Thread_base::join()' does not map directly
to 'pthread_join'. The latter function gets already called by the
destructor of 'Thread_base'. According to the documentation, subsequent
calls of 'pthread_join' for one thread may result in undefined behaviour.
So we use a 'Genode::Lock' on this platform, which is in line with the
other platforms.

The bash-builtin 'pwd' command uses the 'st_dev' and 'st_ino' members of
the 'stat' struct to compare the path from the 'PWD' environment variable
with the path returned by 'getcwd()'. These members don't get set
correctly in Noux and therefore the 'pwd' command sometimes returns wrong
results when building Genode in Noux. With this patch the 'CURDIR' make
variable gets used instead of calling 'pwd'.
Fixes#454.
The 'build.mk' file checks if the tool chain to be used supports the
'-static' and '-fno-stack-protector' flags, but this check always fails
for the current Genode tool chain because it cannot create executable
files without explicitly specifying the 'crt0' and library files to be
linked, which the check doesn't.
This patch removes the compiler check.
Fixes#358.
With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link

In the create_builddir script the foc_x86_64 platform was missing
when adding x86-drivers to the etc/build.conf file. This lead to
failed run-scripts initiated by the autopilot tool.
Make pxe optional and use by default grub.
For that to work we use objcopy to repack the elf64
file into elf32.
With this commit more tests succeed. Most
tests use 64M and with that pulsar even does not start

mean to adjust most of the run scripts ...
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode
Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.
On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.
In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)

The new 'dde_linux' repository will host device drivers ported from the
Linux kernel. In contrast to the original 'linux_drivers' repository,
'dde_linux' does not contain any 3rd-party source code. To download the
Linux kernel source code and extract the drivers, execute the 'make
prepare' rule of the top-level Makefile. The initial version of the
'dde_linux' repository comes with an USB driver. The porting methodology
follows the path of the Intel GEM port. Instead of attempting to provide
a generic Linux environment that works across drivers, each driver comes
with a specially tailored DDE.
The DDE consists of Genode-specific implementations of Linux API
functions as declared in 'lx_emul.h'. Most of these functions are
dummies that must merely be provided to resolve dependencies at the
linking stage. They are called by unused code-paths.
As of now, the USB driver support UHCI, EHCI on the x86_32 platform. I
exposes USB HID devices and USB storage devices via Genode's input-session
and block-session respectively.
The USB driver is accompanied with two run scripts 'run/usb_hid.run' and
'run/usb_storage.run'.
The Lua runtime library is built in two variants: ANSI C and C++. The
C++ provides all Lua API function with C++ linkage and uses C++
exceptions instead of setjmp/longjmp for protected execution of Lua
chunks.
The ported version of Lua is 5.1.5.
The build system overlays multiple source trees (repositories) such that
they can shadow libraries and include search paths. This patch extends
the shadowing concept to build targets. Furthermore, it streamlines the
build stage for generating library depenencies, reducing the processing
time of this stage by 10-20 percent. Fixes#165.
In the compare_output_to function in the run tool a check was introduced,
whether the given arguments are empty, and if so if the output string is it
too. Without this patch compare_output_to succeeded when the given pattern
was empty but output wasn't. Please refer to issue #162.
In addition to autogen and autoconf, the tool-chain build script
requires ncurses (for building GDB), wget (to download the tool-chain
source code), and texinfo. Let the tool check if these packages are
installed instead of failing later during the build.
