The tools.conf in base-fiasco/etc was obsolete and must therefore not
packaged.
This commit removes sporadic recipe hash changes due to missing or
existent etc/tools.conf.
Timing itself costs time. Thus, the stressfull timeout phase of the
test is not exactly as long as set but a little bit longer. This is why the
fast timeouts are able to trigger more often than they are expected to
(the timer has a static timeout-rate limit). Normally we consider this effect
through an error tolerance of 10%. But at least on foc x86_32 (PIT with very
low max timeout), timing is so expensive that 10% is not enough. We have to
raise it to 11%.
This patch propages the 'Service_denied' condition of forwarded sessions
to the parent. Without it, the invalid session request stays pending
infinitely, which leads to the problem described in issue #2542. It
turns out that suggested solution given in the issue text is actually
not needed when applying this fix.
Fixes#2542
The ROM filter did not handle the situation where the generated content
exceeds the size of the initially allocated dataspace for the target
buffer. This patch wraps the XML generation in a retry loop that
expands the buffer as needed.
This patch makes the specification of screen coordinates more flexible.
First, the 'origin' attribute allows one to refer to either of the four
screen corners without knowing the screen size. Second, the 'width'
and 'height' values now accept negative values, which are relative to
the screen size.
The 'File_system::Connection' already performs an on-demand session
upgrade should the server report an 'Out_of_caps' or 'Out_of_ram'
condition. So file-system clients are normally relieved from handling
those exceptions. However, the upgrade was limited to two attempts per
operation (which amounts to 16 KiB). When using the Rump VFS plugin in
the VFS server, this amount does not always suffice. So the exception is
reflected to the client. I observed this problem as a message "unhandled
error" printed by fs_rom. This patch removes the upgrade limit such that
a greedy file-system server becomes iteratively upgraded until it stops
arguing or the client's RAM is exhausted.
* Instead of always re-load page-tables when a thread context is switched
only do this when another user PD's thread is the next target,
core-threads are always executed within the last PD's page-table set
* remove the concept of the mode transition
* instead map the exception vector once in bootstrap code into kernel's
memory segment
* when a new page directory is constructed for a user PD, copy over the
top-level kernel segment entries on RISCV and X86, on ARM we use a designated
page directory register for the kernel segment
* transfer the current CPU id from bootstrap to core/kernel in a register
to ease first stack address calculation
* align cpu context member of threads and vms, because of x86 constraints
regarding the stack-pointer loading
* introduce Align_at template for members with alignment constraints
* let the x86 hardware do part of the context saving in ISS, by passing
the thread context into the TSS before leaving to user-land
* use one exception vector for all ARM platforms including Arm_v6
Fix#2091
* introduce new syscall (core-only) to create privileged threads
* take the privilege level of the thread into account
when doing a context switch
* map kernel segment as accessable for privileged code only
Ref #2091
Always switch to the "exception stack" instead of having a hardware initiated
stack switch during exceptions/interrupts when the privilege level changes only.
Moreover, this commit increases the exception stack slightly.
Ref #2091
* introduces central memory map for core/kernel
* on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000
* on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000
* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area
* differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB,
which now resides inside the kernel segment
Ref #2091
This was an error output-line for each affected packet previously but it
is pretty normal for the router to receive packets whose network layer
protocol it doesn't know . In the default case, these packets shall be
ignored silently.
Ref #2490
One can configure the NIC router to act as DHCP server at interfaces of a
domain by adding the <dhcp> tag to the configuration of the domain like
this:
<domain name="vbox" interface="10.0.1.1/24">
<dhcp-server ip_first="10.0.1.80"
ip_last="10.0.1.100"
ip_lease_time_sec="3600"
dns_server="10.0.0.2"/>
...
</domain>
The attributes ip_first and ip_last define the available IPv4 address
range while ip_lease_time_sec defines the lifetime of an IPv4 address
assignment in seconds. The IPv4 address range must be in the subnet
defined by the interface attribute of the domain tag and must not cover
the IPv4 address in this attribute. The dns_server attribute gives the
IPv4 address of the DNS server that might also be in another subnet.
The lifetime of an offered assignment is the configured round trip time of
the router while the ip_lease_time_sec is applied only if the offer is
requested by the client in time.
The ports/run/virtualbox_nic_router.run script is an example of how to
use the new DHCP server functionality.
Ref #2490
Previously, garbage collect was only done when an incoming packet passed the
Ethernet checks. Now it is really done first when receiving a packet at an
interface.
Ref #2490
If the router has no gateway attribute for a domain (means that the router
itself is the gateway), and it gets an ARP request for a foreign IP, it shall
answer with its own IP.
