This patch fixes the handling of the corner case where the allocation of
a trace buffer throws 'Out_of_caps' or 'Out_of_ram'. Under this
circumstance, the '_buffer' would still be flagged with the 'size',
which prevented any subsequent allocation attempt. This patch fixes the
problem by initializing the 'size' after the potentially throwing
allocation.
The problem triggered with the test-trace_logger after the accounting of
core's TRACE service (replacing the 'Allocator_guard' by
'Constrained_ram_allocator') became more accurate.
Related to issue #3750
The 'WHITESPACE' case of the _calc_len method wrongly accessed the
character before checking upper bound of the token. The problem is fixed
by switching the order of both conditions.
Fixes#3756
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
This patch largely reverts the commit "base: lay groundwork for
base-linux caps change" because the use of 'epoll' instead of 'select'
alleviated the need to allocate large FD sets, which motivated the
introduction of the 'Native_context' hook.

The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.
- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
does not exist (yet)
Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.
The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.
Fixes#3733
If trace is enabled for component than an attempt to put message into
trace buffer is performed using log_output policy. If it succeeds than
message is not put to logs using log service.
Fixes#3714
On Linux, Genode used to represent each RPC object by a socket
descriptor of the receiving thread (entrypoint) and a globally-unique
value that identifies the object. Because the latter was transferred as
plain message payload, clients had to be trusted to not forge the
values. For this reason, Linux could not be considered as a productive
Genode base platform but remained merely a development vehicle.
This patch changes the RPC mechanism such that each RPC object is
represented by a dedicated socket pair. Entrypoints wait on a set of
the local ends of the socket pairs of all RPC objects managed by the
respective entrypoint. The epoll kernel interface is used as the
underlying mechanism to wait for a set of socket descriptors at the
server side.
When delegating a capability, the remote end of the socket pair is
transferred to the recipient along with a plaintext copy of the
socket-descriptor value of the local end. The latter value serves as a
hint for re-identifiying a capability whenever it is delegated back to
its origin. Note that the client is not trusted to preserve this
information. The integrity of the hint value is protected by comparing
the inode values of incoming and already present capablities at the
originating site (whenever the capability is invoked or presented to the
owner of the RPC object).
The new mechanism effectively equips base-linux with Genode's capablity
model as described in the Chapter 3 of the Genode Foundations book.
That said, the sandboxing of components cannot be assumed at this point
because each component has still direct access to the Linux system-call
interface.
This patch is based on the extensive exploration work conducted by
Stefan Thoeni who strongly motivated the inclusion of this feature into
Genode.
Issue #3581
Older ARM processors like ARMv6, or Cortex A8 need to write back changes
of the page-tables to physical ram because the MMU does not use the cache.
This naturally needs to be done not only when adding a mapping,

This commit puts all C++ runtime/support symbols of ld.lib.so in a
dedicated section of base/lib/symbols/ld and mirrors the section to

runtime resolution is done by the linker by symbol lookup in ld.lib.so.

This patch avoids calls of '__sys_getstatfs' (indirectly via
'getmntinfo'), which does not return any meaningful values in Genode's
libc. Otherwise, the libc's dummy implementation prompts resize2fs to
back out.
Issue #3696
This patch makes the e2fsprogs 'mke2fs' and 'resize2fs' available as
standalone components that can be used by Sculpt OS directly without
a Unix emulation environment.
As a result of the API change the memory handling could be simplified.
Since the Block session dataspace is now directly used for DMA, we
actually only have to provide the memory for setting up PRP lists for
large requests (for the moment more than 8 KiB of data).
As we limit the maximum data transfer length to 2 MiB, we get by with
just a page per request. Those memory is allocated beforehand for the
maximum number of I/O requests, which got bumbed to 512 entries. Since
not all NVMe controllers support such large a maximum data transfer
length and this many entries, especially older ones, the values are
capped according to the properties of the controller during
initialization. (The memory demands of the component are around 3 MiB
due to setting up for the common case, even if a particular controller
is only able to make use of less.)
(Although there are controllers whose maximum memory page size is more
than 4K, the driver is hardcoded to solely use 4K pages.)
In addition to those changes, the driver now supports the 'SYNC' and
'TRIM' operations of the Block session by using the NVMe 'FLUSH' and
'WRITE_ZEROS' commands.
Fixes#3702.
The former scheme left open a race window between
_process_incoming_signals() and wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal()
resulting in both threads calling block_for_signal() and blocking
forever with one unprocessed signal.

This patch adds support for booting base-hw kernel on qemu-arm virt
machines. The arm_virt machine has 2GB of RAM, 2 Cortex A15 cores and
uses GICv2 interrupt controller. The arm_64_virt machine also has 2GB of
RAM, but has 4 Cortex A53 cores and uses GICv3. Both machines use PSCI
to boot additional CPU cores.
Fixes#3673
So far this only exposes two functions allowing the code to turn on
additional CPUs. There is much more functionality defined by PSCI spec
but so far its not needed by Genode.
Fixes#3672
The update modification timestamp is implemented as one-shot where
the caller is expected to try again if the first attempt failed (see

This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by
2064ffd64b nova: support multidimensional affinity space
The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful
boot as well as to detect unexpected reboots. This message should never
be logged twice and, thus, should not be part of the core_log. The patch
mentioned above moved the former run_boot_string after the core_log
initialization.
This is a follow-up fix for commit 202333c881.
It checks for the diagnostic registers being already setup correctly.
Otherwise on platforms with secure firmware, like Pandaboard it will stuck.

ASLR collides with the libc's fork mechanism on 32-bit. In particular,
the tool_chain_auto.run scenario would sporadically fail while mirroring
the parent's address space.
Fixes#3710
This is needed to execute the tool-chain scenario on base-nova.
Otherwise, the fork mechanism stumbles upon a region conflict
between ldso allocations and the application heap.
Fixes#3706
This patch reflects the Out_of_caps exception from core to the client,
in addition to the already covered Out_of_ram exception. It thereby
eliminates a potential abort in core, which I observed with the
tool_chain_auto.run script:
Kernel: RPC upgrade_cap_slab
Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Quota_guard<Genode::Cap_quota>::Limit_exceeded'
Warning: abort called - thread: entrypoint
In addition to propagating the exception, the patch add the client-side
exception-handling code to the base library.
Fixes#3703
This run script is outdated and not regularly tested. In fact, the
tested mechanism (obtaining values from a '.sysctl/' directory) is
nowhere to be found, neither in noux nor the libc. The test still
returns success as it merely checks for the completion of the sequence,
not the printed results. Hence, it is not worth preserving.
Issue #3696
This run script tested the terminal VFS plugin as a new feature of noux.
In the meantime, the plugin remains as the only way for the interaction
of command-line-based applications with the terminal session. Hence,
the mechanism is now stressed by many other scenarios.
Issue #3696
This patch prefixes a few symbols in the make binary that are offered by
both the libc and the make binary. The clash of symbol names produces
confusing runtime linkage otherwise. This becomes a problem during
fork/evecve.
This patch reduces the size of session labels for all services other
than LOG, keeping only the last element. This avoids exceeding the
maximum label length in the presence of deep fork hierarchies, e.g., for
running the tool chain.
Fixes#3700
When the last writer closes the pipe, we must trigger the I/O progress

Fixes#3697
This patch replaces the former Noux instance by a sub init that hosts
the combination of VFS + fs_rom + bash. If bash exits, the whole sub
init exits, which implicitly tears down the terminal session used by the
sub init. The latter is expected by the test sequence.
Issue #3696
The tar vfs plugin returns an inode value of zero and a type directory
for null records, which wrongly triggers the file-system loop detection
of the find utility. This patch returns the node pointer as inode value
instead, which is a unique value.
Fixes#3695
This patch changes the 'Single_file_system' to return NO_PERM only if
the to-be-unlinked file corresponds to the single file. This way, a
<rom> co-mounted with a <ram> file-system does not stand in the way of
unlinking files from the <ram>. The concrete symptom occurred the
following scenario:
<vfs>
<dir name="home">
<ram/>
<rom name="..."/>
</dir>
</vfs>
The following sequence of commands wrongly resulted in "Operation not
permitted":
$ mkdir -p /home/a/b/c
$ rm -f /home/a/b/c/d
In this case, rm should not fail (unlink should return ENOENT)
Fixes#3690
When updating the domain object of interfaces that stay with the same domain
during a reconfiguration, until now, the normal "detach raw" function was used.
This caused the old domain object to discard a dynamic IP config as all
interfaces detached. This caused interfaces also to discard network links
established with the old configuration although it wasn't necessary. Thus, now
we use a dedicated "detach" in case that an interface actually stays with its
domain. This new "detach" doesn't decrease the interface counter of the domain,
so, it'll not discard its dynamic IP config. If, however, during a
reconfiguration, there's no interface calling this function (all interfaces
move to another or no domain), the dynamic IP config is still discarded as
expected.
Fixes#3686
Until now, the DHCP client was called also for DHCP requests when an interface
had a domain but yet no IP config. Now, an interface distinguishes between DHCP
requests and replies first and then accordingly calls the DHCP server or the
DHCP client if they're available. This also prevents that the DHCP client has
to handle packet headers other than that of DHCP.
Fixes#3681
Let the DHCP client be a constructible member of Interface that is constructed
only as long as the interface is attached to a domain with a dynamic IP config.
This prevents DHCP client timeouts from a period with dynamic IP config to
trigger after a reconfiguration to a static IP config. Furthermore, handle
DHCP-reply packets at an interface only when the DHCP client its constructed.
Otherwise drop such packets.

This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction

This patch restores the anchoring of the popup menu to the original

The value range supported by the 'Animated_rect' utility is constrained
to 2^11 by the used 32-bit integer type. The interpolation is performed
on fixpoint numbers with a fractional precision of 10 bits. The
non-linear interpolation as performed by the 'Lazy_value' utility
involves squaring the values. Hence, the interpolated integral values
must not exceed 2^11 (2*11 bits for the square plus 10 bit for the
fractional part require 32 bits). This range is too small for
high-resolution displays. Hence this patch replaces the 32-bit integer
type by a 64-bit integer type.
Fixes#3627
The wm used to remember the last pointer position when observing a leave
event. With such a stale pointer position, the wm would eventually
wrongly create an artifical motion event when a supposedly hovered
window changes its position (during an animated move). This can lead to
the propagation of the stale pointer position to the wm client, which,
in turn, may interpret the outdated position (e.g., the menu view would
report a wrong hover state).
This patch removes the stale state by resetting the '_pointer_pos' when
observing a leave event.

This patch adds a special variant of a 'Content_producer' called
'Xml_producer', which allows the direct use of an 'Xml_generator'
for generating the ROM-module content.
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
This patch extends the 'Buffered_xml' utility with a new constructor
that fills the buffer with the output of an 'Xml_generator'. It thereby
presents an easy way to generate XML to be consumed locally.
The patch also add a deprecation mark to the original 'xml' accessor
because copying 'Xml_node' objects (here as return value) is dangerous.
The new 'with_xml_node' method should instead be used to access the XML
content stored in the buffer.
Fixes#3602
The XML parser used to rely in C++ exceptions while parsing, which is an
artifact from the initial implementation. This patch reworks the code such
that exceptions are avoided in the common cases.
Fixes#3605
Replace return values with appropiate bool and document two-staged
publickey authentication. This fixes a bug where wrong authentication
attempts are not properly denied.
Issue #3590.
Adding an explicit check clarifies at the first glance that the array
bounds are respected without needing knowledge about MAX_CAPS_PER_MSG
and L4_UTCB_GENERIC_DATA_SIZE (used for dimensioning 'mr').
This patch changes the code of '_alloc_two_blocks_metadata' to not
leak the result of a partial allocation in the out parameters of
the method. This eases the reasoning about the absence of a
use-atfer-free problem (there was none).
With the '-x' argument of the 'g++' tool the language gets specified,
therefore it has to be 'c++' furthermore, not CUSTOM_HOST_CXX. Moreover,
when import-lx_hybrid.mk gets evaluated first, global.mk is not included
yet, therefore we cannot eagerly evaluate the CXX_LINK_OPT_NO_PIE variable.
Issue #3466
server.h:51:12: warning: ‘int write_avail_cb(socket_t, int, void*)’
declared ‘static’ but never defined [-Wunused-function]
This patch fixes the warning by moving the user of 'write_avail_cb' to
the compliation unit that defines it.
Even though the call of map.metadata is known to always return a valid
pointer (because the meta data is assigned in the code just above),
better add an explicit nullptr check.
`volatile` effectively prevents instruction reordering by the compiler
and fixes an issue with -O3 compiled components.
Note, this commit does not address further arguments regarding memory
barriers and volatile voiced in issue #693.
Issue #693
Incoming ACK packets for sent data packets may be the only unblocker for
suspended write/send loops. This patch informs VFS users about I/O of
VFS handle on successfully sent packets.
Store errno in pthread objects, return member upon call to '__error()'.
This became necessary in order to make errno thread-safe.
Note, any call to libc code from a non-pthread (beside the first
entrypoint) is not supported.

- Stop refreshing if all CPUs go to sleep, also in text mode.
- Any input resets update rate to 100Hz in graphic mode, which gets
decreased step by step down to 25Hz if no input is available (looking video
without input by user).

This commit uses CUSTOM_HOST_CC/CUSTOM_HOST_CXX instead of hardcoded
commands and introduces HOST_DEV_PREFIX.

Issue #3466
This is important to issue sync requests for written-to files.
As the closing must be performed by an atexit handler, it happens at a
time _after_ libc plugins are destructed. Consequently an FD allocated
by such a plugin results in a close error, which in turn, does not
destruct the FD. We ultimatedly end up in an infinte loop of
re-attempting the close. For this reason, the patch changes 'close' to
be robust against this special case.
This is generally not a problem because libc plugins are phased out.
However, at present, the libc_noux plugin is still important. With the
changed 'close' in place, there occurred an error message "Error: close:
close not implemented" at the exit of each noux program. This patch
removes the error printing from the libc plugin mechansim to avoid this
noise. The error messages are not important anyway because the
deprecation of the libc plugin interface.
Issue #3578
The getpeername function is provided only by the socket fs.
In the case where the socket fs is not configured, return an appropriate
errno instead probing for a libc plugin (there is none).
Issue #3578
This patch removes the global variable 'blocker', which was expected to
be constructed via the global ctors. This mechanism, however, is not
used for the base library, which resulted in the use of an unconstructed
object. Specifically, the spinlock of the 'Lock' of the 'Registry'
defaulted to the LOCKED state (value 0), which eventually would lead to
a deadlock in the contention case of the cxa guard.
I could observe this deadlock once on during the component startup on
base-linux during the construction of the 'startup_lock'.
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly initializing the registry
of blockers via an init function.

Issue #3578
- Close FDs marked with the close-on-execve flag
(needed for 'make', which sets the flag for the pipe-in
FD of forked children)
- Update binary name on execve to use as ROM for subsequent fork
- Enable vfork as an alias for fork (needed by make)
- Purge line buffers for output streams during execve because they
may be allocated at the allocation heap, which does not survive
the execve call.
- Consider short-lived processes that may exit while the parent still
blocks in the fork call.
With these changes, the website generator of genodians.org works without
the need for the Noux runtime.

Fix noux.run on base-linux
but removed by issue #2829.
Related to issue #1938
fd > FD_SETSIZE cannot use 'select' or 'poll' within our libc.
Therefore, we added a bit allocator in order to allocate fd < FD_SETSIZE
(1024).

From the man page of expect:
> Both expect and interact will detect when the current process exits
> and implicitly do a close. But if you kill the process by, say, "exec

Fixes#3569
This patch is a follow-up fix for "ttf_font: prevent out-of-bounds
access", which produced sporadic single-pixel artifacts with large font
sizes, e.g., with the monospaced font set to 24px in Sculpt.
The artifacts occurred only for some horizontal sub-pixel positions, in
combination with the font cache, and after the rendering of '>'
characters. They were ultimately caused by the missed clearning of the
first pixel of a glyph where x0 is 1 (e.g., the character 'd'). In this
case, a pixel from the previously evicted cache entry (the '>') shined
through. The patch fixes the problem by clearing the glyph starting from
the first, not the x0's, pixel.
Fixes#3567
This test covers the situation where depot_query evaluates depot content
that is incompletely extracted. In particular, if the 'archives' file
already exists but has a size of zero, depot_query would produce a
page fault. This situation can be manually provoked by deliberately
creating a zero-sized archives file for any otherwise correct pkg.
This patch also fixes the success indicator of the test. It wrongly
matched an early line of the log output.
