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 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 It is now superseded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.
Issue #847
* Removes the <event> tag from all test package runtime files and replaces the
contained <timeout> and <log> sub-tags with the new tags <succeed> and
<fail>. If a <succeed> or <fail> tag has a content, it defines a log pattern
that should be recognized and render the test failed or successful. If a
<succeed> or <fail> tag has an attribute after_seconds that is not set to 0,
it defines a timeout after which the test should be rendered failed or
successful.
* Adapts the Depot Autopilot to support the new syntax in the test-package
runtime files. However, for now, the Depot Autopilot is kept compatible to
the old syntax as well. If the <events> tag is present, it is prioritized
over the new syntax.
Fixes#4922
* Adds a new component server/nic_uplink that forwards packets unmodified
between one Uplink session at one side and potentially multiple Nic sessions
at the other side.
* Adds a new run script nic_uplink.run that does a basic test with multiple
Nic clients on this component and adds it to the autopilot list.
* Adds a new depot recipe src/nic_uplink for this component.
* Adds a new depot recipe pkg/pc_nic for deploying the pc_nic_driver together
with a nic_uplink server. This allows for raw access to the network connected
to the Nic of the system in contrast to the commonly used routed and NAT'd
access via NIC router. That said, it enables the use of network protocols
not yet supported by the NIC router at the cost of less protection.
Ref #4966
The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor
of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the
subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s).
In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring
of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be
used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor,
the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session.
But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code,
sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.
There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The
os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run
script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored
components.
Issue #4917
This patch ultimatedly removes format strings from Genode's base API.
Users of the former base/snprintf.h and base/console.h headers may
use the free-standing 'format' library hosted in the ports repository.
Fixes#2064Fixes#3869
Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
