This patch introduces a shortcut for conditional session routes of the
form '<if-arg key="label" value="..."/>'. With this change, the label
can be directly specified as 'label' attribute of an '<any-service>' or
a '<service>' node. The '<if-arg>' mechanism was not documented anyway
and I hope to be able to ultimately remove it.
Don't skip the cleanup call if a pager object is marked as blocked.
It happens that the pager_object is in destruction but it is also used
concurrently by the pager thread. The pager thread handling code may set the
pager object to blocked but still uses the pointer to the pager object. Avoid
locking at the state of the pager object and make the cleanup call everytime.
Error output looks like this, where the pf_ip is within
void Pager_object::_page_fault_handler(addr_t pager_obj)
method and the pf_addr is the stale pointer to the already released pager_object.

Currently, when a signal arrives in the main thread, the signal dispatcher is
retrieved and called from the main thread, the dispatcher uses a proxy object
that in turn sends an RPC to the entry point. This becomes a problem when the
entry point destroys the dispatcher object, before the dispatch function has
been called by the main thread. Therefore, the main thread should simply send an
RPC to the entry point upon signal arrival and the dispatching should be handled
solely by the entry point.

Under some circumstances, the diagnostic message in the exception signal

directly write to the log session via the stdout_write() hook or use
raw_write_str() in core.
This patch improves the decorator in two ways. First, it enables the
assignment of window colors depending on the window labels. This
configuration can be changed dynamically. Second, it adds the handling
of window controls for closing, maximizing, minimizing windows.

This patch supplements the existing focus reports with the new attribute
'active', which indicates recent user activity when set to "yes". This
information is consumed by the clipboard to dynamically adjust its
information-flow policy depending on the user activity.
Issue #1712
This patch moves the formerly internal classes of the report-ROM service
to the public location os/include/report_rom/ so that they can be reused
by other components such as the upcoming clipboard.
This overload of the value member eases the retrieval of Genode::String
objects from XML attributes. So we won't need to deal with C-style
character buffers anymore.
The utilities in os/session_policy.h used to be tailored for the
matching of session arguments against a server-side policy
configuration. However, the policy-matching part is useful in other
situations, too. This patch removes the tight coupling with the
session-argument parsing (via Arg_string) and the hard-wired use of
'Genode::config()'.
To make the utilities more versatile, the 'Session_label' has become a
'Genode::String' (at the time when we originally introduced the
'Session_label', there was no 'Genode::String'). The parsing of the
session arguments happens in the constructor of this special 'String'.
The constructor of 'Session_policy' now takes a 'Genode::String' as
argument. So it can be used with the 'Session_label' but also with other
'String' types. Furthermore, the implicit use of 'Genode::config()' can
be overridden by explicitly specifying the config node as an argument.

Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly

Addressing must be PC-relative, so adapt the approach from the other
nova_x86_32 syscall bindings (description by @ssumpf):
Use call to push the current IP on the stack and add the distance of

NOVA requires in edx.

platform_execute() is used to initially switch the stack of a
routine/task. While Thread_base::alloc_secondary_stack() properly aligns
the returned stack pointer the x86_64 assembler implementation did not
comply to stack frame management specified in the ABI.
The used (and most simple) stack-alignment check may pass a float to a
varargs function on x86, which requires the compiler to properly save
some XMM registers on stack.
Dataspace components inherit from RPC objects which are non-copyable from now
on. Therefore, the Rom_session_component's constructor had to be modified
to not construct a dataspace component on the stack and assign it in the
following.
Ref #1704
Holding the object pool's lock while trying to obtain an object's lock
can leave to dead-lock situations, when more than one thread tries to
access multiple objects at once (e.g.: when transfer_quota gets called
simultanously by the init and entrypoint thread in core). To circumvent
holding the object pool lock too long, but access object pointers safely
on the other hand, this commit updates the object pool implementation
to use weak pointers during the object retrieval.
Fix#1704
Destroying an object within the scope of a lambda/functor executed
in the object pool's apply function leads potentially to memory corruption.
Within the scope the corresponding object is locked and unlocked when
leaving the scope. Therefore, it is illegal to free the object's memory meanwhile.
This commit eliminates several places in core that destroyed wrongly in
the object pool's scope.
Fix#1713
If a client provides a read buffer of insufficient size for all
available data, we have two options
1) Leave it to the client to do partial reads until not further data is
available, or
2) Signal the client that there still some bytes on a partial read.
As the second option seems more robust it's implemented in this commit.

The commit consumes the argument of a unsupported printf command.
Without the commit - a subsequent command uses the argument of the preceding
command, which may cause memory corruption or page faults for sequences using
string commands, e.g.
Genode::printf("%#x %s\n", 0x20, "Test");
'#' is not supported by Genode::printf. In this scenario a pagefault at
address 0x20 is caused.

The intention of Packet_ref was to allow clients to place opaque
references into the packet descriptor itself, which could be observed on
packet completion. Currently no component in our sources uses this
feature and beyond that it is questionable if it should be used at all:
If the server tampers with the ref the client may easily be confused
into observing an incorrect or invalid context. It seems better to
remove the opaque context from the descriptor and leave the actual
implementation to the client and its needs.
Unfortunately, the 'gcc -dumpmachine' magic does not suffice on all
Linux distros, so we just add the well-known paths for i386-linux-gnu
and x86_64-linux-gnu.

This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:

If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.

Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.

This scripts starts two Audio_out session clients. These clients
access the soundcard via the mixer. The first client simply streams
a sample file in a loop while the second client generates a click
sound when any key is pressed.
Issue #1666.
Sometimes, the play position in stream is behind the out stream, mostly
because of timing issue. In this case, the mixer will produce invalid
packets which in return will lead to looping on an invalid packet in
the audio_drv.
Issue #1666.
Instead of looping the whole queue, the driver now loops on the first
invalid packet. In any case it will send a progress signal to its
client.
Fixes#1666.
For some platforms (at least hw_zynq on Qemu), the measured time of the
periodic timeout test exceeded the maximum that was previously
calculated without any tolerance. Most likely, this is not a malfunction
of the test subject as the error is pretty small and, of course,
measuring the time produces overhead itself. Introducing a tolerance of
only 0.1% fixes the problem.

Other platforms implement Kernel::Cpu_context stuff in
kernel/cpu_context.cc. On x86_64, it was implemented in

The distinction between Kernel::Thread and Kernel::Thread_base is
unnecessary as currently all Hw platforms would have the same content in
the latter class. Thus I've merged Kernel::Thread_base into
Kernel::Thread. Thereby, Kernel::Thread_event can be moved to
kernel/thread.h.
Ref #1652
The Muen-specific PIC implementation provides the irq_occurred()
function which is used to register an IRQ with the PIC upon thread
exception.
The occurred IRQs are stored in a boolean array internally and handed
out to a CPU via take_request().
The driver uses the timer page containing a vector and timer value to
implement the start_one_shot() and value() functions. The timer value
designates the absolute tick count of the next event.
The address of the time page is acquired using the get_memregion_info
Sinfo API function.
The Muen Sinfo API is used to retrieve information about the execution
environment of a subject running on the Muen Separation Kernel.
While the C++ API is defined in sinfo.h, musinfo.h specifies the
internal format of the information stored in the Sinfo pages provided by
the Muen SK. It is a copy of the file contained in the libmusinfo
library of the Muen project. That is the reason why the coding style in
this file differs from the official style.
Move Platform::setup_irq_mode function from x86 platform_support.cc to
x86_64 specific file. This will enable the upcoming x86_64_muen platform
to provide a separate implementation.
The hw_x86_64_muen platform is a x86/64 base-hw kernel which runs as
isolated subject (guest) on the Muen Separation Kernel (SK) [1].
The platform is implemented as an extension to hw_x86_64 replacing the
PIC and timer drivers with paravirtualized variants. The skeleton
contains a dummy PIC and timer implementation for now.

If the guest is not in an interruptible state when the recall handler is
called, an assertion fails. Since the assertion is only relevant if the
recall handler was called during IRQ injection, it should be moved into
the corresponding conditional block which already has the assertion for
the 'IF' flag.
Fixes#1661
By default, the EMT thread of the last vCPU handles expired timers. When
running VirtualBox with 2 vCPUs, it sporadically happens that the EMT
thread of the second CPU clears an 'interrupt pending' flag for the first
vCPU after changing the state of a timer device model, which is not
expected by our Genode-specific code (failed assertion '!_irq_win' in the
recall handler).
The problem did not occur yet when letting the EMT thread of the first
vCPU handle the expired timers, which is done by this commit as an interim
fix until the problem has been further investigated.
Issue #1660
Add spin loop hint by means of the PAUSE instruction since
wait_for_interrupt is called in a busy loop. This should improve processor
performance and reduce power consumption.
Note: HLT cannot be used since it is a privileged instruction and the idle

Move the _core_only_mmio_regions function to the

There are currently some issue with the mixing/filtering code of vbox.
So instead of using the audio subsystem to do filtering and mixing we
bypass it to get better audio qualitiy. That means that the device
model of the VM has to use the same sample rate as the Audio_out/in
sessions, however.
Issue #1647.
With this commit preliminary audio support in VirtualBox is enabled.
The backend supports playback as well as recording sounds from within
a guest VM. Depending on how the guest configures the device model
the audio output may sound disorted. If the guest uses buffers that
are too small, i.e., 10 ms or less, frequent buffer underruns will
occure.
To get this low-latency one has also to increase vbox' update hz
to 200 (i.e., 5ms).
Fixes#1647.
When a stream was stopped it may still contain valid packets that
will be played automatically when the stream is started again. The
invalidate_all() method may be called after stopping the stream to
prevent this.
Issue #1647.
Run script depending on VFS plugins (i.e., shared objects) like
vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so have to state this dependency rather the actual
binaries linked against libc. The latter introduces a library dependency
that is just not there. For example, the dependency on vfs_jitterentropy
is a result from the config node for libc which automatically loads the
plugin.
The alarm library failed to handle the case properly where an already
scheduled alarm gets rescheduled before it triggered. Even though the
attempt to reschedule the alarm (twice insertion into alarm queue) was
detected, this condition resulted in the mere modification of the
alarm's parameters while keeping the alarm's queue position unchanged.
This, in turn, may violate the invariant that all enqueued alarm objects
are strictly ordered by their deadlines. The patch handles the case by
dequeuing the alarm object before reinserting it into the queue at the
right position.
Fixes#1646
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
The driver is now able to record audio samples. In contrast
to playback it has to be enabled explicitly by setting the
configuration attribute 'recording' to 'yes'. Playback is by
default enabled but may be disabled by setting 'playback' to
'no'. Furthermore it is now possible to configure the mixer
from the configuration. For now, the interface used by vanilla
OpenBSD is just exported.
The following snippet shows how to enable and configure recording
on an Thinkpad X220 where the headset rather than the internal
mic is used as recording source:
! <start name="audio_out_drv">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="8M"/>
! <provides>
! <service name="Audio_out"/>
! <service name="Audio_in"/>
! </provides>
! <config recording="yes">
! <mixer field="outputs.master" value="255"/>
! <mixer field="record.adc-0:1_source" value="sel2"/>
! <mixer field="record.adc-0:1" value="255"/>
! </config>
! </start>
In addition to selecting the recording source the playback as
well as the recording volume are set to 255 (maximum).
Information about the available mixers and settings in general
may be obtained by setting the 'verbose' to 'yes' in the config
node.
Issue #1644.
Unfortunatly, there is no support for any HDMI/DP based HDA codecs in
this driver. Therefore we try to filter out known devices (normally the
PCI device on 00:03.00). This could also be done in the platform_drv's
configuration by explicitly naming the BDF but for better or worse that
will not work when using a wildcard class like HDAUDIO which is done in
generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
In line with the Audio_out session a Audio_in session is used to
record audio frames. Like in the Audio_out session shared memory
in form of the Audio_in::Stream is used to transport the frames
from the server to the client. These frames consist of single
channel (mono) samples. An Audio_in::Packet always contains a full
period of frames.
A Audio_in server captures frames and puts them into the
Audio_in::Stream. To do so the server allocates a Audio_in::Packet
from the packet queue embedded in the Audio_in::Stream. If the queue
is already full, the server will override packets and notify the
client by submitting the 'overrun' signal. The client has to cope
with this situation, e.g., by saving packets more frequently.
A client will also receive a 'progress' signal from the server when
a new Audio_in::Packet was submitted to the packet queue.
Fixes#1644.
To archive lower latency the length of a period was reduced from
2048 (~46ms) to 512 (~11.6ms) samples.
It should be noted that this change probably breaks audio in Qemu on
most systems.
Issue #1644.
For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint
and pager activation is not needed, and only exists due to historical
reasons. Moreover, the pager thread's execution path is almost identical
between most platforms excluding NOVA, HW, and Fisco.OC. Therefore,
this commit unifies the pager loop for the other platforms, and removes
the pager activation class.
This exit handler is called by the NOVA kernel now when the VM uses PAE
with nested paging and the PDPTE registers need to get updated. With this
commit, an error message is printed if this situation occurs.
Fixes#1640
