An installed lighttpd HTTP server can now optionally be started to serve
the boot image with the follow run options.
--load-ipxe-lighttpd run lighttpd automatically (default: off)
--load-ipxe-lighttpd-port <port> TCP port to run lighttpd on (default: 8080)
The updated Bender version is configurable regarding the mode in which to run
the Intel HWP plugin. This can now be controlled via the new run option
'--bender-intel-hwp-mode' (only when running on NOVA). The option knows 4 valid
values 'off', 'performance', 'balanced', and 'power_saving'. When running on
NOVA, the default value applied by the run tool is 'performance'. when running
on any other kernel, the default value of Bender ('off') is used. Therefore,
when not setting the new '--bender-intel-hwp-mode' flag, the behavior is the
same as before this commit.
Fixes#4224
This patch make the use of the result of the 'build_artifacts' function
as input for 'build_boot_image' more robust. Since 'build_artifacts'
obtains binary names from the progress.log, the names of core,
ld.lib.so, and the timer correspond to the kernel-specific names.
However, 'build_boot_image' expects the kernel-agnostic names as
arguments. Kernel-specific files need special treatment when integrated
in the boot image: the kernel-specific file is copied and renamed to the
kernel-agnostic name. Without this patch, the kernel-specific file is
copied as is (e.g., ld-nova.lib.so). So the name of the ROM module is
wrong. This patch resets the kernel-specific names to the generic names
so that the special-case handling comes into effect.
This patch adds special handling for lib/<libname> arguments to the
build system, which supersedes the former LIB=<libname> mechanism.
Whereas the old mechanism was limited to a single library, the new
convention allows multiple library arguments, similar to regular
targets. The change brings the two immediate benefits.
First, the streamlining of library and target arguments allows for the
building of libraries via the 'build' command of the run tool.
Second, it alleviates the need for pseudo target.mk files for building
shared libraries that have no direct dependencies, in particular VFS
plugins.
Since this change eases the explicit creation of shared libraries
from run scripts, we may reconsider the automatic implicit building
of shared libraries driven by targets. E.g., while developing a Qt
application, a run script could import the Qt libraries from the
depot and combine those with the developed (fresh built) target without
triggering the build of the Qt libraries in the build directory.
When issueing 'make' without arguments, all targets are built. This
patch applies this behavior to libraries as well, thereby removing the
need for the base/src/lib/target.mk pseudo target as used by the CI
tools to build all libraries.
Note that target.mk files located under src/lib/ are no longer
reachable. Therefore, all run scripts that used to trigger the
build of a shared library via a pseudo target must be adapted.
E.g., 'build lib/vfs/tap' must be replaced by 'build lib/vfs_tap'.
With this patch, the LIB=<libname> option is no longer supported.
Fixes#4599
Instead of having a generic "virt_qemu" board use "virt_qemu_<arch>" in
order to have a clean distinction between boards. Current supported
boards are "virt_qemu_arm_v7a", "virt_qemu_arm_v8a", and
"virt_qemu_riscv".
issue #4034
A userland component that ports the Linux WireGuard kernel module (originally
from kernel version 5.14.21) and integrates it via a NIC session (public
network side) and an Uplink session (private network side). The
WireGuard-specific device configuration is done through the component
configuration. The port is done using lx_emul, lx_kit and the virt_linux
targets. The commit adds also 4 corresponding run scripts of which 3 are fully
automated of which 1 is added to the autopilot.
:Warning:
Although in principal functioning, the WireGuard port has not been exposed to a
sufficient amount of real-world testing, so far. Therefore, we strongly
recommend not to use it in any security-critical scenarios! There is no
guarantee that the port meets any of the security goals pursued by the
WireGuard protocol or other WireGuard implementations!

Normally, the APIs listed in 'used_apis' files do not carry a version
but implictly refer to the current version. This patch allows for
specifiying an concrete version. This is a useful feature in the context
of the Goa tool.
By replacing the formerly hard-coded $(GENODE_DIR)/tool/depot/ by the
variable DEPOT_TOOL_DIR, the depot tools can be hosted outside the
Genode source tree, i.e., as part of the Goa tool.
Some devices do not answer connection attempts timely, which leads
amtterm to time out (after 60s). Using multiple attempts in 500 ms
intervals results in timely connection and complete boot logs.
Issue #4429
.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it
must be unexported before calling third-party build systems recursively.
This is a follow-up fix for "mk/ld.mk: trigger kernel-dependent
ld.lib.so build", which alleviates the need to specify the KERNEL at the
build-system command line. Thanks to Piotr Tworek for reporting.
Issue #4320
This patch works around 'tar' erroring out when faced with an empty list
of files:
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
This can happen when using sculpt.run for a scenario with only a runtime
but no deploy or launcher configuration.
Issue #4369
With the kernel-specific build of the dynamic linker triggered
automatically at the build stage, the artificial build step at the
boot-dir stage can be skipped.
Issue #4320
The new function 'build_artifacts' returns a list of artifacts created
by the Genode build system. The list can be supplied as argument to
the 'build_boot_image' function.
Note that the list covers only program targets and shared libraries.
Other artifacts created as side effects of custom rules are not covered.
Fixes#4368
This patch prevents the run tool from issuing 'make' in the build
directory if no build targets are specified, which prompts the build
system to build everything.
If only versioned archives are supplied to a depot function like
'create_tar_from_depot_binaries', the depot/create tool is called
with zero arguments, resulting in a help message. The patch detects
this case and skips the call.
Since unifying the build directories accross architectures, the special
case of the 'linux' platform is no longer needed. Linux can be targeted
from regular CPU-architecture-specific build directories via:
KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
Fixes#4366
This change keeps the version-controlled 'pubkey' and 'download' files
separate from files generated via depot/create or downloaded via
depot/download. So one can remove the entire depot/ directory without
interfering with git.
Furthermore, depot keys can now be hosted in supplemental repositories
independent from Genode's main repository.
Fixes#4364
This patch discharges the dependency of Makefile.in from Makefile.am
files whenever both files are present in a downloaded archive.
Being based on make, the trigger of running automake is based on the
timestamps for the extracted archive content. However, since we reset
the timestamps (via 'tar -m') at extraction time, no assumptions about
the timestamp relations between the extracted files can be made. In the
event automake is triggered, we are faced with the tool dependency from
a specific automake version on the host.
The patch enforces the unconditional use the 'Makefile.in' version
supplied by the archive.
Fixes#4350
