Commit "vbox: avoid uncaught nic Empty_ack_queue exception" introduced a
performance regression due to packet retransmission because of faulty
GSO segment handling. As fixing the GSO handling is fairly complex, we
disable GSO until a fix was developed.
Issue #4820
Issue #4821
This patch mitigates potential busy feedback effects when evaluating the
reports produced by 'depot_deploy' in a closed control loop. Reports
are now generated only if the deployment state has changed.
Issue #4818
This patch marks a child as incomplete if one of the ROM modules listed
in its blueprint is missing. This, in turn, triggers the update system
in Sculpt, which then tries to download the missing pieces.
Issue #4818
By managing downloads issued by the deploy subsystem via the
'Download_queue', failed downloads (e.g., due to HTTP error 404) are
properly tracked and don't cause infinite re-attempts.
Issue #4818
This patch promotes the event of an exiting child to become immediately
reported, reducing delays for management components that watch the exit
status of children.
Fixes#4814
This patch replaces the former 'nic_drv' and 'nic_drv_dtb' functions
by a more general 'nic_driver_routes' function that can return one or
multiple platform-specific ROM routes for NIC-driver binaries and dtb
files. This allows for supplying customizations for the wifi driver
as well. E.g., on the PinePhone, this hook can be used to handle the
renaming of the 'wifi_drv' to 'a64_wifi_drv'.
Related to issue #4813 and issue genodelabs/genode-allwinner#17.
The wifi VFS plugin is solely there to provide a hook for calling
'Lx_kit::initialize()' prior to the static ctors. As the corresponding
symbol can be resolved at run-time there is no need to add the
library as a build-time dependency.
Issue #4813
The device-tree binary is normally required on ARM-based platforms
where as on x86 it is omitted. The platform-specific DTB helper
provides a generic interface for accssing the DTB and needs to be
implemented on each platform.
Issue #4813
The SDIO connected wireless device on the PinePhone is not available
on start-up, which leads to the supplicant failing to initalize
'wlan0'. Normally the supplicant would be used in a way that handling
devices that appear at run-time happens gracefully.
Rather than supporting this behavior we defer the start-up of the
supplicant until the device could be openend successfully for now.
Issue #4813
The MAC address device report should be published once the device is
available. Since this may happen at a later time we have to check the
call.
Issue #4813
This commit introduces support for building the WLAN driver for ARM
platforms. It makes the WPA supplicant and its support libraries
available for all platforms. It also seperates the PCI parts to
accommodate platforms where other bus protocols are used.
Issue #4813
The driver was only tested with an "Atheros AR9462 Rev:2" [168c:0034]
device using the 'wifi.run' run script.
Note: for it to work MSI may not be used as otherwise interrupts do not
work. Using an IOMMU leads to the following fault:
[ 0] IOMMU:0xffffffff817eb0b0 FRR:0 FR:0x22 BDF:4:0:0 FI:0xb0000000000000 (0)
Issue #4813
The way the 'struct page' management is currently implemented it is
not safe to rely on it in case allocations share the same page. This
is in particular true where the virtual address is obtained by
querying the page object for maintaining the CPU caches.
Issue #4813
Optionally log scheduling-context execution time in addition to the
thread-context. This may be relevant on kernel platforms that do not
schedule threads on their own CPU share only but implement some kind of
donation scheme, for example, NOVA.
Usage
<config sc_time="yes" ...> ... </config>
Fixes#4805
This commit updates the used firmware images for the iwlwifi device
to latest available ones (supported by the current 6.1.x driver).
It also removes old firmware images that by now are not used anymore.
Fixes#4807.
If a content.mk file wrongly refers to a non-existing directory in a
call of the 'port_dir' function, the 'content_env_missing_ports.mk' gets
stuck while invoking 'cat' without argument, which makes such mistakes
difficult to diagnose. This patch adds a sanity check for the existence
of the port hash file at the specified location before attempting to
'cat' the hash-file content.
Unfortunately, the change of "depot: remove empty config from
pkg/nano3d" broke the manual deployment of the nano3d demo because no
<config> is provided in this case.
This patch splits pkg/nano3d into two variants. The regular nano3d pkg
comes with an empty <config/> node as before. The unconfigured_nano3d
pkg does not feature any <config/> node and can thereby be configured
via a ROM route to a dynamic-rom service.
This patch equips the depot_download subsystem with the option to
explicitly skip the signature verification for downloads by specifying
the attribute 'verify="no"' for an <installation> item. This is useful
in scenarios where the lack of integrity of downloaded content does not
pose a risk, e.g., for untrusted applications that are rigidly
sandboxed, or during development.
Note that this option does not entirely discarge the signature checking.
Whenever an download has dependencies that are verifyable - for
which the public key exists in the depot - the dependencies are still
verified. This allows untrusted content to depend of verifyable content
while protecting the integrity the verifyable content.
Issue #4804
This patch adds the 'Verify' argument to all download-related interfaces
in order to control the checking of signatures for downloads. Note that
it does not change the sculpt_manager's existing built-in policy of
always checking signatures.
Issue #4804
This patch moves the interfaces needed for the interactive addition of runtime
components from the 'Popup_dialog' to the 'model/component.h'. So those
interfaces are no longer tied to one specific view implementation.
This free-standing function is meant to gradually replace
'Dialog::match_sub_dialog' interface, which relies on the caching of
the hover state. The new function is more flexible because dialogs do no
longer need to inherit 'Dialog'.
