In other contexts (IPv4) 'calc_checksum' merely returns a new checksum that is
then installed via 'checksum'. Thus, the UDP 'calc_checksum' that calculates AND
installs a new checksum is misleading.
Ref #114
Both, client and server now read their IP config from their Genode config.
Furthermore, the client now waits 4 instead of 2 seconds before sending the
first request to prevent connection fails in tests with a slow startup. The
client truncates its packet dump for better readability.

This patch adds the missing exception handling for depleted RM session
quotas. If core runs out of session quota while creating a new region
map, it now reflects this condition as a Region_map::Out_of_metadata
exception to the RM client. Thanks to Denis Huber for reporting the
issue!
Although the driver makes no use of interrupts it references Irq_handler
for unknown reasons. Moreover, this commit eliminates the lock that is
not necessary anymore, because the driver now runs single-threaded.

This patch revives our ds_ownership test from 2012, which just revealed
a regression in core where the dataspace-free operation of the RAM
service would unconditionally destroy dataspace objects from foreign
sessions. The patch fixes the bug and adds an updated version of the
test to the autopilot.
Fixes#2065
The main feature for this version upgrade is the use of the instruction
emulator (IEM) to speed up execution and less often the slow recompiler.
issue #2059
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
Core on seL4 is configured to run on native hardware, so some static

We now always run the input_merger as Input service provider and

On MVM only the initial scanning of APs works. If wpa_supplicant changes

Issue #2046
When running the same kernel in a VM as on the host system and the
kernel boot message from the VM appears on the log output, the run tool
assumes that the host machine has rebooted unexpectedly. With this
commit, an unexpected reboot is assumed only if the kernel boot message
appears at the beginning of a line. On base-hw, we enforce a line feed
at the beginning of the boot message as the SPIKE emulator log starts
with the first message of the kernel lacking a line feed.
Fixes#2041
Thread stacks with less than 4K usable space are insufficient for our
implementation of Linux exception signal handling. If such a unusually
small stack overflows the SIGSEGV handler will not be able to print the
diagnostic message leaving no hint of the cause of the stuck process.
The linker scripts are known to reside in BASE_DIR. By using them
directly from this location instead of searching them in the
REPOSITORIES, we don't need to specify the repos/base as a repository in
order to link.
This patch handles x86_32 and x86_64 separately since this is the SPEC
value directly supplied to the package build tool. This way, we achieve
that a CROSS_DEV_PREFIX is defined for each supported argument.
This patch adds the methods 'sigh_ack_avail()' and

Those headers implement a platform-specific mechanism. They are never

This patch also cleans up a few other remaining platform-specific
artifact such as the Fiasco.OC-specific assert.h.
Issue #1993
Conveying the ROM filename as the final label element simplifies
routing policy and session construction.
Annotations by nfeske:
This commit also changes the ROM session to use base/log.h instead of
base/printf.h, which produced build error of VirtualBox because the
vbox headers have a '#define Log', which collides with the content of
base/log.h. Hence, this commit has to take precautions to resolve this
conflict.
The commit alse refines the previous session-label change by adding a
new 'Session_label::prefix' method and removing the use of 'char const *'
from this part of the API.
Fixes#1787
Session_label constructor now takes a bare string rather than a
serialized argument buffer.
Replace all instances of previous constructor with 'label_from_args'
function.
Issue #1787
This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all
kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of
base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.
This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.
Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.
Issue #1993
This patch alleviates the need for a Native_capability::Dst at the API
level. The former use case of this type as argument to
Deprecated_env::reinit uses the opaque Native_capability::Raw type
instead. The 'Raw' type contains the portion of the capability that is
transferred as-is when delegating the capability (i.e., when installing
the parent capability into a new component, or when installing a new
parent capability into a new forked Noux process). This information can
be retrieved via the new Native_capability::raw method.
Furthermore, this patch moves the functions for retriving the parent
capability to base/internal/parent_cap.h, which is meant to be
implemented in platform-specific ways. It replaces the former set of
startup/internal/_main_parent_cap.h headers.
Issue #1993
The static 'Thread::mystack()' function returns the stack boundaries of

When calling 'connect()' in nonblocking mode and the connection has been
established, don't call 'tcp_connect()' again, which would trigger an

In addition to modernizing the component now also supports using
empty RAM dataspace as backing store.
For example to use an ISO file the component has to be configured
as follows:
! <config file="image.iso" block_size="2048"/>
To use a empty RAM dataspace that is 256MiB large and has a block
size of 4KiB the configuration looks like this:
! <config size="256M" block_size="4096"/>
Either 'size' or 'file' has to specified. If both are declared the
'file' attribute is soley evaluated.
Issue #1987.
Fixes#2031.
Use quota large enough so that the USB driver does not attempt to
request further memory. On the Raspberry Pi, init has no slack memory
to respond to such a request.
Pass both paths, absolute path to the mount point and the relative path
from the mount point to the file, along with an open handle rather than
just an absolute path. Otherwise, fstat fails if the addressed file is
implemented by another VFS plugin.
Fixes#1789
Move Genode/vbox memory configuration check to separate
genode_check_memory_config() function and call it in platform-specific
setup machine hook of accloff/nova.
The rationale for this change is to omit the check on Muen since the
guest memory is separate and not allocated from base-hw memory.
Issue #2016
Write tick count of next kernel timer to the guest timed events page if
present. This causes the guest VM to be preempted at the requested tick
count and ensures that the guest VM can not monopolize the CPU if no
traps occur.
The base-hw kernel expects a configured switch-event from the guest VM
to base-hw with ID 30 and target vector 32 to be present in the system
policy.

Add call to genode_setup_machine prior to machine registration in
frontend machine setup code. This enables platform-specific adjustments
to the machine instance.
The new function is used on hw_x86_64_muen to clamp the processor count
to 1 as multiple virtual CPUs are not supported on this platform.
Issue #2016
* Implement VMMR0_DO_VMMR0_INIT operation for Muen
- Indicate VT-x support
- Enable unrestricted guest mode
- Set CR[0|4] mask to enable masking of guest CR0.[NE,NW,CD] and
CR4.VMXE bits.
* Implement VMMR0_DO_GVMM_CREATE_VM on Muen
Return error if trying to create SMP VM as VMs with multiple CPUs are
currently not supported on hw_x86_64_muen.
* Add Muen-specific Mem_region type
On hw_x86_64_muen the guest memory layout is static, thus regions are
handed out from an array of memory regions.
Use sinfo API to calculate the base address of the VM RAM physical
0x0 region. This allows to dynamically modify the VM RAM size by
adjusting the Muen policy and Genode vbox files accordingly.
Zeroize all memory regions apart from VM Ram since Virtualbox expects
these regions to be cleared.
* Add Muen subject state struct
The subject state encompasses the guest VM machine state that is
transfered between Virtualbox and hardware accelerated execution on
Muen.
* Add Muen-specific Vm_handler class
* Use Vm_handler to run VM
* Instruct recompiler to flush its code cache
* Copy the Muen subject state to/from the Vbox PCPUMCTX.
* Use the VM interruptibility state to inform the recompiler whether
interrupts are currently inhibited.
* Explicitly handle control register access
If a VM-exit occurs due to a control register access, handle it and
directly continue hardware accelerated execution of guest VM.
Note: On NOVA control register accesses are handled by the kernel [1].
[1] - https://github.com/alex-ab/NOVA/blob/master/src/ec_vmx.cpp#L106
* Reset guest interruptibility state
Assert that interrupts are not inhibited in the Virtualbox machine
state and clear Blocking-by-[STI|MOV to SS] guest interruptibility
flags prior to running a guest VM in hwaccel mode.
* Set return code depending on exit reason
Do not unconditionally emulate the next instruction on VM exit. This
makes sharing the VM FPU state with Virtualbox unnecessary, as FPU
instructions are not emulated by the recompiler any longer.
Also, assert that the FPU has not been used by the recompiler
* Inject pending guest VM interrupts on Muen
Use mapped subject pending interrupts page of guest VM to perform
interrupt injection. IRQs are transferred from the Virtualbox trap
manager state to the pending interrupts region for injection. If an
IRQ remains pending upon returning to the recompiler, it is copied
back to the trap manager state and cleared in the subject interrupts
region.
* Inform recompiler about changed SYSENTER_[CS|EIP|ESP] values,
otherwise values set while running the guest VM hardware accelerated
may get lost.
* Implement genode_cpu_hz() on Muen
Determine the CPU frequency dynamically using the sinfo API.
Issue #2016
* The Vm thread is always paused and on exception to make sure that guest VM
execution is suspended whenever we handle an interrupt. Also signal the Vm
session to poke waiting threads (e.g. Virtualbox EMT).
* Implement Vm::proceed
Switch to the mode transition assembly code declared at the _vt_vm_entry
label.
Issue #2016
The entry enables interrupts and initiates a handover to the guest VM by
invoking event number one. The sti instruction is placed at the start to
allow exits to Muen before handing off to the VM if window exiting is
requested.
Issue #2016
The virtual PCI model delivers IRQs to the PIC by default and to the
IOAPIC only if the guest operating system selected the IOAPIC with the
'_PIC' ACPI method and if it called the '_PRT' ACPI method afterwards.
When running a guest operating system which uses the IOAPIC, but does
not call these ACPI methods (for example Genode/NOVA), the new
configuration option
<config force_ioapic="yes">
enforces the delivery of PCI IRQs to the IOAPIC.
Fixes#2029
The alternate stack must use the stack area as, e.g., Thread::myself()
depends on this property. Hybrid components do not depend on this
property and, therefore, use a static stack buffer.

* Align pitch value to 64 byte (thanks to cnuke for investigation)
* Get rid of extra dataspace retrival and attachment, now that we always buffer
* Consistently name all lx_emul helpers: lx_* (get rid of dde*)
* Add missing file headers
Fix#1997
Instead of providing a buffer to the client and blitting from that
to the "real" framebuffer as an option, with this commit we always do so.
Thereby its possible to immediately destroy the old framebuffer used by
hardware when a configuration change is done, and a new framebuffer
is used. This also simplifies the modesetting.
Moreover, this commit fixes an issue when not using the connector reporting.
Until now the initial mode detection of connectors was only done when
the report was created. this is a regression that entered the driver
when upgrading to the recent Linux kernel version.

This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output

On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.
Fixes#2012
This is a follow-up commit to "slab: throw exception if initial
allocation fails". It is needed because on seL4, the PD session quota is
used as backing store for the meta data of the PD's virtual memory. For
this reason, PD sessions on seL4 require more session quota compared to
the other kernels. Apparently, the default quota is too scarce to
complete the PD-session construction. By shrinking the number of
supported page-table entries, we reduce the size of the PD session
component so that the creation succeeds.
Issue #1983

The vanilla 'schedule_timeout()' Linux function expects a relative

in the driver.
Fixes#1990.

This is an interim fix for solving the quota leakage problem of
the platform driver on x86 platforms. To properly fix that problem
one has to track which dataspaces where created by the platform driver,
so that freeing the dataspace and reversing the quota transfer is done
on correct dataspaces only.
Refer #1980
This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
Instead of passing on the Noux 'config' ROM dataspace to child processes,
provide a separate configuration for each Noux child, which is either
'<config/>' or '<config ld_verbose="yes"/>', depending on the

workaround to prevent multiple insertion of the same 'config' ROM
dataspace capability into the dataspace registry.
