Until now, the lx_emul layer addressed a 5.11 Linux Kernel port,
now that we add new architectures it is better to update the default version
first. There are especially changes in the task_struct code,
and the signature of some functions in the paging subsystem changed.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4411
We use the architecture-specific setjmp/longjmp implementation without
modification in the newer lx_kit implementation as well. There is no
need for a duplication.

This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
The Allocator_avl back end will display diagnostic messages if the
address to be freed is not at the beginning of a block. This happens
regulary when 'struct page' objects are not freed in allocation order.
Issue #4325.
Introduce a method to access the dataspace capability of the underlying
backing store for a memory allocation. This is necessary for drivers
where the memory is managed manually and the capability needs to be
given to a client.
Issue #4325.
This patch introduces the lx_emul/pin.h interface that enables GPIO stub
drivers to interact with Genode's Pin_control and IRQ sessions via a
simple C API.

To clearly identify the correct device use the unique device's name

* Use the architecture-dependent minimal alignment for all allocations,
e.g. on ARM it is necessary to have cacheline aligned allocations for DMA
* Remove the allocation functions without alignment from generic API
* Fix a warning
Fix#4268
After a DMA transaction do only invalidate cachelines from the
corresponding DMA buffers if data got transfered from device to
CPU, and not vice versa. Otherwise it might result in data corruption.
Ref #4268
The lx_emul_virt_to_pages implementation initialized the page ref
counter only for the first page, leaving the remaining elements in
uninitialized state. This, in turn, rendered the Linux page_pool (as
used by the emac network driver) ineffective, ultimately leading the a
memory leak. The fix changes the call of 'init_page_count' to take the
loop variable as argument.
Issue #4225
Driver code such as mfd-core.c may pass 0 as argument n to kcalloc,
which eventually results in an allocation size 0.
res = kcalloc(cell->num_resources, sizeof(*res), GFP_KERNEL);
Since 'res' is checked against NULL for success, kmalloc must not return
a NULL pointer in this case. The patch works around this issue by
forcing an allocation size of 1 byte in this case.
Issue #4253
Clock providers such as drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun8i-r.c don't use
regular init calls but declare their init functions via CLK_OF_DECLARE,
which fill the __clk_of_table. Linux populates the table statically by
using special sections declared in the linker script. In contrast, we
populate the table by expanding the macro to global constructor
functions.
The __clk_of_table is then processed by the call of of_clk_init(NULL).
Issue #4253
The re-newed approach currently supports ARM 64-bit only.
It depends on the Platform API of the ARM architecture.
It tries to meet the original semantic of the Linux kernel
functions as far as possible. To achieve this, device drivers
using this library should reference the original Linux kernel
headers at foremost. Only the headers in `src/include/lx_emul/shadow`
have to shadow clone the original ones.
Fix#4225
skb_push() already increases the skb->len by ETH_HLEN, hence adding
ETH_HLEN to the packet_size is redundant.
A too large packet size becomes a problem for large MTUs. With a maximum
MTU of 1500, adding ETH_HLEN twice will lead to a packet size of 1528.
Since this is larger than what we expect for good-old Ethernet (max. 1522),
some clients (e.g. the e1000 model in vbox5) may drop these packets.
Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4228
Unfortunately, our current implementation of 'wmb()' doesn't seem to do what we
want it to do. On base-hw + imx6q_sabrelite, the write of bdp->cbd_sc seems to
get re-ordered after the write to txq->bd.reg_desc_active in the transmission
path of the contrib code. Due to this, the transmission of the packet is only
triggered the next time a packet is sent. However, we only quick-fix it by
enforcing the execution of the write with a volatile global read as we will
soon update the FEC NIC port with a new DDE approach anyway.
Fixes#4010
The wpa_supplicant refuses to set the BSSID in case it is quoted.

issue #4149
Comment in Linux sources:
Since an ethernet header is 14 bytes network drivers often end up with
the IP header at an unaligned offset. The IP header can be aligned by
shifting the start of the packet by 2 bytes. Drivers should do this
with:
skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);
This is ensured when using netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().
Issue #4094
This patch takes advantage of block transfer interrupts on Intel XHCI
controllers which is used during isochronous transfers. Because of a bug
in hardware (see usb_host_isoc_bei.patch header), this feature has been
disabled for Intel leading to up to 8000 interrupts/s for isochronous
transfer causing severe CPU consumption on Genode. With this commit we
lower host driver consumption to normal levels.

A Lx::Task is now associated to a USB device not the session any more.
This implies that a task lives as long as the device making it possible
to gracefully handle outstanding requests (i.e., synchronous) in case
the session has been closed.

The former implementation called 'TRACE_AND_STOP' which led to the
'usb_host_drv' to stop whenever such a function was called. Rather

As linux drivers may distinguish device configuration by pci subdevice id in
addition to the pci device id, the former must also be used for finding the
matching entry. Otherwise, e.g., the iwlwifi driver might load the wrong
firmware.
Side note: Add break statement to save superfluous iterations after
match was identified.
Fixes genodelabs#4076
This API rework eases the access to memory-mapped I/O registers and
interrupts when using the platform driver. It introduces the notions of
- Platform::Device - one device obtained from a platform session
- Platform::Device::Mmio - locally-mapped MMIO registers of a device
- Platform::Device::Irq - interface for receiving device interrupts
The patch touches several drivers. Some drivers would require a
significant structural change to adopt the new API (e.g., net/virtio,
dde_linux drivers, imx gpio). In these cases, the patch adds
compatibility shims meant to be temporary. In other cases (e.g., imx
i2c), the adaptation was simple enough to carry through.
Fixes#4075
This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface
with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by
'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the
hood.
Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA
buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED
argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the
allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints
(by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can
revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should
generally be fine on the x86 architecture.
Issue #2243
The commits adds the same configuration values as supported up to now by
the monolithic usb driver. In contrast to the original, by default all drivers
are started. Disabling a controller type is used by Sculpt, e.g. for OHCI if
running Sculpt inside Virtualbox.
This patch is an interim fix for using HID devices that offer a HID
interface as not the first interface. It also supplements the
interface classes as supplemental information to the USB-devices
report.

When the usb_net_drv was introduced in ports/run/netperf.inc, the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc triggered the calling of the
netif_stop_queue dummy at
contrib/<DDE_LINUX>/src/drivers/usb_net/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1464. As
netif_start_queue was also a dummy and allowed to be called, we tried allowing
calls to the netif_stop_queue dummy as well which fixed the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc.

The Usb session allows for submitting packets even when the interface
in question is not yet enabled. Enabling an interface will configure
the udev members properly and is normally done implicitly during
processing of an 'ALT_SETTING' packet.
In case the interface was not enabled this leads to a page-fault in
the USB host-controller driver as 'ep' is NULL.

In order to perform a smooth transition from NIC drivers that act only as NIC
session clients to NIC drivers that act only as Uplink session clients, this
commit introduces an intermediate state in which all NIC drivers support both
modes. That said, a NIC drivers mode is now statically determined through a new
optional 'mode' attribute in the drivers <config> tag that can be set to either
'nic_server' (default value) or 'uplink_client'. Reconfiguring this attribute
at a driver doesn't have any effects. Whithout this attribute being set, all
NIC drivers will behave the same as they did before the commit. When set to
'uplink_client', however, instead of providing a Nic service, they request
an Uplink session whenever their network interface becomes "UP" and close the
session whenever their network interface becomes "DOWN".
Ref #3961
Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.
Ref #3961
Thise driver supports USB LTE modems for Huawais' ME906s through MBIM

Terminal session, which can be used via libmbim/mbimcli.

- Vendor devices add addtional data to the config descriptor, read and

issue #3822
The usb_hid driver does not need to distinguish between
normal memory and DMA capable memory, since all requests are routed via the
USB raw session to the usb host driver. The default Malloc implementation
implements this distinction, however exposes restrictions on the size of
allocations. As seen now by several USB HID devices, the size of device
driver allocations depend on read out hardware features and can be
larger than we support with our specialized default Malloc implementation.
Since we don't need this functionality, switching to an well
tested allocator (Heap) which can cope with varying sizes of allocation,
we can mitigate the size restriction.
Fixes#3953
This prevents later file-descriptor shortage when opening files on
demand, which can't be reflected to the application in a sane manner.
The real fix is to open socket files not on libc level but on VFS level
only effectively consume one libc file descriptor for one socket.

The current version of the driver leaves the screen in a black state
after a mode change, e.g., when connecting an external display.
With this patch, the framebuffer content is fetched for the entire
screen after a mode change. Thanks to Sebastian Sumpf for investigating.
Issue #3878
The combination of Net::Mac_address and
Genode::ascii_to(Net::Mac_address) required shaky quirks in several
places because GCC is not able to resolve the ascii_to overload if
base/xml_node.h was included to early. The current solution moves the
several ascii_to overloads "closer" to the Net types by putting them
into the Net namespace, where GCC reliably picks them up.
Hence, co-locating the ascii_to() utility with the overload type in the
same scope/namespace is good practice.
This patch removes the now obsolete <nic/xml_node.h> header file.
* On this platform there is no need to zero out the framebuffer

Follow-up commit to fix the old usb_drv. Under rpi one and the
same irq can be requested several times. Therefore, we've to track
the Irq_connection objects.
Ref #3865
The Lx_kit::Irq abstraction of DDE Linux was always using the very first
interrupt of a Platform::Device stored in it. Instead of handing over the
platform device it is much more flexible and sane to hand over the actual
interrupt capability.
Ref #3865
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.
Ref #3864
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
