Adjust the plugin to use the socket C-API found under
dde_linux/src/lib/lxip/include/genode_c_api/socket.h'.
This is the first minor step in generalizing the plugin.
isse #5104
The lxip_raw.run script will spawn a client/server scenario that tests
Genode C-API calls. The scenario can be used standalone, meaning no
actual network card is required.
issue #5104
This commit updates lxip from version 4.4.3 to 6.1.20. It uses the
current lx_kit approach and is a shared library again. The stack has
been tested for x86_32/x86_64/arm_v6/arm_v7/arm_8.
The C-interface of the IP stack can be found under
lxip/include/genode_c_api/socket.h.
issue #5104
CONFIG_X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM is a 'def_bool y' and gets re-enabled by
'make olddefconfig'. The PPRO version contains text relocations which we cannot
have in binaries (e.g., 'lea 45f(%ebx ...).').
issue #5104
add bottom half enable/disable to functions with suffix "_bh" were
missing, because some functions release the bottom half separately
(__neigh_event_send).
issue #5104
Add the possibility to execute a module-init call by name using
'lx_emul_init_call', this is used, for example, by lxip to configure and
re-configure the IP address through 'ip_auto_config'.
issue #5104
The classes Genode::Mmio, Genode::Register_set, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive a template parameter 'size_t SIZE'. In each
type that derives from one of these classes, it is now statically checked that
the range of each Genode::Register::Register- and
Genode::Register_set::Register_array-deriving sub-type is within [0..SIZE).
That said, SIZE is the minimum size of the memory region provided to the above
mentioned Mmio classes in order to avoid page faults or memory corruption when
accessing the registers and register arrays declared inside.
Note, that the range end of a register array is not the end of the last item
but the end of integer access that is used for accessing the last bit in the
last item.
The constructors of Genode::Mmio, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive an argument 'Byte_range_ptr range' that is
expected to be the range of the backing memory region. In each type that derives
from on of these classes, it is now dynamically checked that 'range.num_bytes
>= SIZE', thereby implementing the above mention protection against page faults
and memory corruption.
The rest of the commit adapts the code throughout the Genode Labs repositories
regarding the changes. Note that for that code inside Core, the commits mostly
uses a simplified approach by constructing MMIO objects with range
[base..base+SIZE) and not with a mapping- or specification-related range size.
This should be fixed in the future.
Furthermore, there are types that derive from an MMIO class but don't declare
any registers or register arrays (especially with Platform::Device::Mmio). In
this case SIZE is set to 0. This way, the parameters must be actively corrected
by someone who later wants to add registers or register arrays, plus the places
can be easily found by grep'ing for Mmio<0>.
Fix#4081
Functions registered with 'module_init' (i.e., '__define_initcalls'),
'OF_DECLARE', and 'DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_FINAL' used to be static
constructors and had be explicitly registered using
'exec_static_constructors' before executing any Linux code.
With this commit we remove the constructor attributes from these
functions and create a global function pointer in the form of
__initptr_<name>_<id>_<counter>_<line number of macro>
'import-lx_emul_common.inc' will collect these '__initptr' symbols after
the compile step and generate a 'lx_emul_register_initcalls' function
that executes the functions pointed to. This step is now automatically
performed in 'lx_emul_start_kernel'. This way a call to
'exec_static_constructors' can be omitted in case there are no other
constructors in place.
issue #5096
The former implementation relied on input drvdata always pointing to
struct hid_device, which is not true for Wacom touch devices (at least).
Now, we implement the input handler for devices providing LEDs
(evbit[EV_LED] set) only and use input_inject_event() to set the LED
states.
The frame-pointer-based backtrace does not work without enabling
-fno-omit-frame-pointer explicitly and in most cases leads to page
faults because non-pointer stack values are dereferenced during the
walk. The best we can do is to limit the backtrace walk to the stack of
the current thread to prevent page faults unrelated to the system state
without the use of the backtrace utility.
This commit introduces a printable Backtrace class usable in
Genode::log(), Genode::trace(), etc. The class is based on the new
function for_each_return_address(auto const &fn) that walks the stack in
its limits and calls fn() for each discovered return address on the
stack in the new os/include/os/backtrace.h. Archtecture-specific
stack-pointer retrieval and walk loops are implemented in dedicated
os/include/spec/<arch>/os/for_each_return_address.h files. Also, the
well-known Genode::backtrace() function (which logs the return-address
values) is provided for backwards compatibility.
Fixes#5078
The number of hash entries for TCP/UDP corresponds to the number of
sockets managed by the stack. In case there are more sockets than
entries available, buckets will be created to compensate for the lack of
space. The default values for TCP (524288) and UDP (65536) are meant for
the in kernel that manages all sockets of the user land and leads
to very large hash table allocations (>20MB) during initialization.
Since on Genode a component has its own instance of the IP stack or uses
the VFS server, we do not need these kind of large default settings.
issue #2181
The management of Linux page structs is now tied to the life time of DMA
buffers. Thus, page structs are created when a buffer is allocated and
deallocated only when a buffer is freed - not on lx_emul_mem_free()
because DMA buffers are cached. Page struct refcounting was entirely
reworked in lx_emul/shadow/mm/page_alloc.c.
Fixes#4809
The devio API in the Linux kernel promised to be a stable layer for our
USB host controller drivers, but the additional bookkeeping and dynamic
allocations increase CPU overhead in a way that we do not accept further.
Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and
out of the packet stream from the clients.
