Clearing very large RAM dataspaces could fill up core's page table,
because the dataspaces are locally mapped to clear them.
This would manifest in a loop where exhausting the local page table
leads to its flushing (which does not work for core) and a retry that
again fills up the page table and so on.
To prevent this, flush RAM dataspaces in chunks of at most 128MiB.

Failed allocations were still denoted with a successful return value
to the caller. This situation was triggered by artificial testing and
has not been observed yet in practice. In case the 'LIMA_GEM_CREATE'
I/O control fails Mesa will dereference invalid pointers anyway.
Issue genodelabs/genode-allwinner#27.
The frame-pointer-based backtrace does not work without enabling
-fno-omit-frame-pointer explicitly and in most cases leads to page
faults because non-pointer stack values are dereferenced during the
walk. The best we can do is to limit the backtrace walk to the stack of
the current thread to prevent page faults unrelated to the system state
without the use of the backtrace utility.
This commit introduces a printable Backtrace class usable in
Genode::log(), Genode::trace(), etc. The class is based on the new
function for_each_return_address(auto const &fn) that walks the stack in
its limits and calls fn() for each discovered return address on the
stack in the new os/include/os/backtrace.h. Archtecture-specific
stack-pointer retrieval and walk loops are implemented in dedicated
os/include/spec/<arch>/os/for_each_return_address.h files. Also, the
well-known Genode::backtrace() function (which logs the return-address
values) is provided for backwards compatibility.
Fixes#5078
The number of hash entries for TCP/UDP corresponds to the number of
sockets managed by the stack. In case there are more sockets than
entries available, buckets will be created to compensate for the lack of
space. The default values for TCP (524288) and UDP (65536) are meant for
the in kernel that manages all sockets of the user land and leads
to very large hash table allocations (>20MB) during initialization.
Since on Genode a component has its own instance of the IP stack or uses
the VFS server, we do not need these kind of large default settings.
issue #2181
This patch changes the unlink operation of the ram fs to defer the
destruction of a file until it is no longer referenced by any VFS handle.
When unlinked, the file no longer appears in the directory. But it can
still be opened and accessed.
With this change, a parent process of a Unix-like subsystem becomes able
to pass the content of an unlinked file to a forked child process. This
mechanism is required when using the 'exec' command in Tcl scripts.
Another use case is the 'tmpfile()' function.
Fixes#3577
The traced top instance was configured to be active every two seconds
whereas the trace test uses a grace time of only 1.5 seconds before
raising the FOREIGN state of a trace subject as an error.
The state of a trace subject can change only whenever the traced thread
passes a trace point. Hence, with the original configuration, the
release of top as trace subject can take up to two seconds. The patch
reduces the rate to 0.5 seconds to satisfy the expectation of
test-trace.

The management of Linux page structs is now tied to the life time of DMA
buffers. Thus, page structs are created when a buffer is allocated and
deallocated only when a buffer is freed - not on lx_emul_mem_free()
because DMA buffers are cached. Page struct refcounting was entirely
reworked in lx_emul/shadow/mm/page_alloc.c.
Fixes#4809
When multiple threads (EMT-0..X + nic_ep) enter the very same
critical section, the use of RTCritSectTryEnter may reflect the contention
case to the Network Model (E1000). Since no one notifies the model, when the
critical section is free again, solely the next packet/event triggered by the
guest will resume the former operation. This may lead to long delays until
packets are sent actually.
Instead of using the RTCritSectTryEnter use RTCritSecEnter to avoid the
situation. All of our network code is non blocking, so the network backend
will only be contented a short time.

The devio API in the Linux kernel promised to be a stable layer for our
USB host controller drivers, but the additional bookkeeping and dynamic
allocations increase CPU overhead in a way that we do not accept further.
Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and

The argument was originally designated to restrict the reach of the
trace monitor but the idea remained unimplemented. It is now superseded
by the use of the trace-session label as trace-subject filter.
Issue #847
This patch changes core's TRACE service to expose trace subjects only if
their PD label matches the label of the TRACE monitor. Hence, by default,
a trace monitor can only observe itself and its child components. Only
if the trace monitor's parent rewrites the trace-session's label, the
view of trace monitor can become broader. For example, when rewriting
the trace label to an empty string "", the trace monitor becomes able to
observe the sibling components hosted in the same init instance as the
trace monitor.
To grant a trace session the special privilege of obtaining a global
system view (including the kernel's trace subjects), the top-level init
has to rewrite the session's label to an empty string. At core, this
specific label "init -> " is handled as a special case that discharges
the filtering/namespacing of trace subjects.
Note that the trace-subject label as reported as subject info is now
given relative to the label of the trace session. As a nice side effect
of this change, the pkg/test-trace_logger works now when executed by the
depot_autopilot as well as via the test.run script.

As a consequence of the adding IOMMU support to the platform driver,
additional RAM and CAPs are needed for setting up IO page-table
structures.

The platform driver needs additional 2MB of RAM for managing IO page
tables (root table and context tables) that are shared among sessions.
genodelabs/genode#5002
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.

The sculpt manager views only launchers in the + menu that are not present in

This is a follow-up commit to the adaptation of the run scripts to the
consistent use of [build_artifacts] (issue #4860).
The missing build of libm remained undetected until the recent removal
of implicit shared-library builds (issue #5061).
This patch removes the implicit build of all shared libraries a target
depends on. Targets only depend on the respective ABIs instead. This
alleviates the need to locally build complex shared libraries (think of
Qt) when developing applications. Instead, application developers can
use binary depot archives.
The implementation splits the mk/lib.mk file into three files:
- mk/a.mk for building one static library (.lib.a)
- mk/so.mk for building one shared object (.lib.so)
- mk/abi.mk for building one ABI stub (.abi.so)
Furthermore, the commit moves messages and the collection of build
artifacts to var/libdeps, triggers the build of kernel-specific
ld-<kernel>.lib.so, and prunes the lib-dependency tree at ABIs.

The execution of global-static constructors in Genode is optional for
native components or determined in the libc for libc components. By
convention, we avoid static constructors wherever possible but in rare
cases the component can tweak the point when constructors are executed
and initialize an environment beforehand. The wifi_drv applies this
pattern for the uplink initialization, but is a libc component on the
other hand, and, thus, statics in the Genode C API for uplink are
constructed later by the libc. So, the prior initialization is reverted,
i.e. the signal-handler capability becomes invalid.
This addresses a regression exposed by the following commit.

Commit "menu_view: ignore zero-sized widgets in box layout" introduces
zero-sized child widgets as a special case but defined zero-sized as
zero covered pixels (w*h == 0). However, for layouting, a widget with a
non-zero height and zero width is not zero-sized.
This patch refines the zero-size condition such that only widgets with
both zero width and zero height are considered as zero-sized.
It thereby solves the missing display of empty lines in the text_area
component.
The 'Xml_node::differs_from' method takes the constructor arguments
(addr, size) for a byte-wise comparison whereas 'with_raw_node'
restricts the byte range to the actual XML tags. In cases where
the XML start tag is preceeded by whitespace, both ranges can differ.
Since the 'differs_from' method is meant for comparing actual XML
nodes - not any whitespace around them - whitespace should be ignored
on both operands.

The system control cap will be invalid for kernels that don't support

Issue #5008
Each hover change of the character position within a label results in a
new hover report, which needs to be evaluated by the application. For
the common cases where labels are used as button texts or for presenting
passive information, the level of detail is not needed while the
recurring hover reports induce overhead at the application side.
This patch mitigates this overhead by excluding labels from the hover
reporting by default.
For use cases that actually depend of precise hover reporting of labels,
for example an editable text area, the hover reporting can be enabled by
setting the 'hover="yes"' attribute of the label.
The 'Widget::_version' attribute was meant to allow the deliberate
replacement of a widget by a same-named widget by changing the version
while keeping the name, thereby suppressing any geomety animation.
However, the implementation missed to populate the attribute with the
value provided by the dialog ROM, prompting the unconditional
re-creation of the widget whenever a 'version' attribute was specified.
Even though this had the (desired) effect of preventing geometry
animations, it could cause feedback loops between hover reports and
dialog ROMs because the 'hover_changed' condition in 'Menu_view::Main'
would always stay true while a versioned widget is hovered.
To prevent exessive allocations the bounce buffers are allocated
once and afterwards re-used. The DMA buffers are provided by an
range allocator whose backing store increases in 4 MiB chunks.
The range allocator might not merge the ranges as those chunks
are not necessarily allocated continously. Allocations larger
than the static chunk size are therefor treated as error.
Internally libyuv uses malloc & free for short time dynamic memory
allocation during image transformation. The converted images are
such large, that the Libc allocator will create and destroy new Genode
dataspace per image. In time sensitive code paths, the overhead can be
noticeable by the caller of the image transformation.
The patch adds the option to register callbacks in the libyuv library to
implement the image allocation by users of the library. They may implement
caching strategies to avoid the overhead, e.g. as seen with qemu-usb and
the webcam model.

Issue #4993
The new API emphasizes control over the vCPU data by granting access
through the Vcpu::with_state() method, which makes sure that the vCPU is
stopped, invokes the supplied function with a reference to the VM state
and resumes the vCPU if the function returns true.
The old Vcpu::run(), Vcpu::pause() and Vcpu::state() methods are removed
in favor of the new API. Execution of the vCPU is now interrupted by
sending a native Genode Signal to its Vcpu_handler, which will run the
VMM's exit handling method. When this method retrieves the vCPU state by
calling Vcpu::with_state(), the outside interruption is detected and on
x86 a recall exit is injected into the state to signal the vCPU
interruption / pause request to the VMM's vCPU handler.
