pci_decode: report devices from ACPI info
We still provide an empty <devices> node as the file itself is used by
platform agnostic run scripts.
Some signal-heavy scenarios (e.g., libc_integration) produced the
following warning that hinted a data race on signal data in the context
object.
Warning: returning signal with num == 0
The cause was the use of Signal_context::local_submit() in the libc
introduced in
424ed1b79a libc: remove Reconstructible / use local_submit in kernel
in combination with a missing context-mutex aquisition resulting in a
data race on Signal_context::_curr_signal.

This prevents errors like the following during parallel builds.
MERGE ld-hw.abi.so
/usr/local/genode/tool/21.05/bin/genode-arm-ld:symbol.map:0: syntax error in VERSION script
Try to allocate within constraint area first. In case the area is exhausted,
try allocation at other memory locations.
The motivation for this is to limit DMA allocations to 4GB (since some
devices require addresses below 4GB). On some platforms there is little
physical RAM in this area (<1GB) and the constrainted area exhausts. In
case an IOMMU is present, RAM at higher locations can still be mapped
below 4GB, which is done in the platform drivers.

This commit fixes two issues with the timeout lib and the base-hw src recipe:
* Add source files of timeout lib to recipe content.
The files weren't copied to the depot until now. However, the archive
nonetheless built successfully because of the second issue that is described
below.
* Get rid of the usage of the BASE_DIR variable in the timeout lib.
The BASE_DIR variable always resolves to the repos/base directory even when
building in a depot. That said, the use of BASE_DIR in make-files that are
not part of the build system itself must be avoided. Instead, REP_DIR,
REP_INC_DIR, and $(call select_from_repositories, ...) should be used.

The new 'Dictionary' provides an easy way to access objects using

The patch removes the former definition of the 'operator >' from the

The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to

At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.
genodelabs/genode#4600
The ld.lib.so stub library generated by base/lib/mk/ld.mk has no
purpose at runtime. On the contrary, it must not be integrated into the
boot image because its name collides with the kernel-specific dynamic
linker.
The build system automatically announces the names of shared libraries
as build artifacts. However, in rare cases, it is required to manually
define them. In particular, the 'ld' stub library plays no role at runtime
and should not be integrated into the boot image.
This patch adds a customization hook following the same pattern as used
for target.mk files, namely the BUILD_ARTIFACTS variable. If defined,
its value is taken as the list of boot artifacts generated by the
library-description file.
Issue #4368
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

acpica and the Intel display driver tries to use the Intel Opregion
simultaneously on Genode, which is not supported nor wanted for IO_MEM region as
which it is handled.
Attempts to remove the access to the region was not successful, since some
SSDT table contains ACPI AML code which is executed regularly and read/write
the Opregion.
The patch adds support to read in a copy of the Intel Opregion done by the
acpi_drv component. The copy was sufficient to make the Intel display driver
working to find and lookup the Intel VBT (video bios table) information to
setup all connectors on a Fujitsu U7411 docking station.

Build description files that feature both an actual target and
CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS happen to re-link the target each time whenever one
of the CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS is phony, e.g., gems/src/app/menu_view/.
The re-linking of the actual target is of course not desired. By
triggering the creation of CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS from 'all:' instead of
'$(TARGET)', the specified files do not implicitly become link
dependencies of the target.
Issue #3972
There is a race between the trace subject doing the buffer
initialization and the monitor trying to iterate the buffer entries. If
the monitor tries to iterate entries of an uninitialized buffer, it will
read the very first entry twice. The monitor should therefore only start
iteration when the buffer has been initialised.
genodelabs/genode#4513
After reverting unused ranges during allocator destruction
'_meta_data.free_empty_blocks' may lead to more unused ranges because
meta data blocks maybe freed where the meta data for the blocks is
managed by other meta data blocks. This leads to dangling allocation
warnings which are caused by meta data. Therefore, we call
'_revert_unused_ranges' and 'free_empty_blocks' until no more ranges
can be freed.

Compared to the bytewise memset, a wordwise memset (or even multi-word)
achieves a speedup of ~6.
On Zynq-7000/Cortex-A9:

Preloading a few cache lines ahead brings a significant speedup in
memcpy throughput. Note, the particular (optimal) value was empirically
determined on a Cortex-A9 (Zynq-7000) SoC @ 666Mhz. It is best combined
with L2 prefetching enabled (including double linefills and prefetch
offset 7). Yet, even without L2 prefetching this seems to be the sweet
spot.
genodelabs/genode#4456
The implementation is not in use any more. Furthermore, on typical ARM
cores such as the Cortex-A9, the cached read appears to be the
bottleneck rather than instruction density. On a Zynq-7000 SoC, the vfp
implementation performed significantly worse than the standard load/store
multiple implementation with preloading.
genodelabs/genode#4456
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.
Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.
This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:
UNATTACHED prior any call of 'trace'
ATTACHED after a trace monitor called 'trace'
but before the tracing is active
TRACE tracing is active
Fixes#4447

This commit simplifies the current implementation by overloading the
length field with a padding indicator in addition to the zero-length
head entry. This simplifies the iteration semantics as it eliminates
the need for determining whether a zero-length entries is the actual
head of the buffer or a padding at the buffer end.
genodelabs/genode#4434
When committing a new entry, the buffer wrapped if the last entry fit
perfectly into the buffer. Otherwise, the length field of the next entry
was set to 0 to mark the new head. Yet, if there was still some padding but not
enough to hold the length field of another entry, we ended up with a
headless buffer.
genodelabs/genode#4430
Since the head of the buffer is marked by a zero-length entry, we must
only write the length field if a new head was set. Otherwise, the
consumer might already read the new entry and not find the new head as a stop
condition.

XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

When a PD owns the right to ask for a RAM dataspace's `dma_addr` it is
concurrently constrained to use allocations of a specific physical RAM area.
This commit further limits this area by removing RAM page frame zero.
Otherwise the return value of `dma_addr` for such a dataspace would be
erroneously interpreted as a fault, because zero is currently the error
return value of `dma_addr`.

As the KERNEL argument does not affect the ABI, the abi.so should

This does not affect default Genode builds as far as I can tell. There
is always at least one global static CTOR which seems to be coming from
one of the GCC runtime libs bundled in the toolchain. The problem became

one. In such setup I often see binaries that do not have any static ctors.
Such binaries end up crashing Genode ld.lib.so.

This patch removes the implicit build of ld-$(KERNEL) by the generic

When 'KERNEL' is specified, let the generic (pseudo) target of

This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.
The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.
The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.
With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.

When used by the 'Allocator_avl' the slab allocator's backing store is
dynamically disabled and re-enabled while adding/freeing ranges.
However, during those operations, slab entries can be freed. This,
in turn, can result in the release of a slab block (when the freed slab
entry happens to be the last entry of the block). In this corner case,
'Slab::_release_backing_store' operation has no effect because no
backing-store allocator is set. As a result, the block is no longer
referenced but not physically freed.
The patch fixes the problem by skipping '_free_curr_sb' whenever
no backing store is defined. So the completely empty block remains
in the working set.
Thanks to Peter for reporting and fixing this issue!

Fix some trivial cases where the signedness of the constant value does
not match the signedness of type the code expects to see. GCC can be
asked to warn about those by passing Wsign-covnersion flag.
Issue #4354
As far as I can tell this is not raised by any released GCC versions.
Clang 13 on the other hand warns about it due to implicit-int-conversion
warning which is automatically enabled together with Wconversion. The
problem is relatively simple, shifting access_t value does not always
produce result which is also of access_t type. For example, if access_t
is uint16_t, shifting it will produce integer result. This can be
observed even with GCC. Building the following C++ example will fail:
#include <type_traits>
#include <stdint.h>
int test() {
uint16_t a = 0xabcd;
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(a<<1), uint16_t>);
return 0;
}
Changing uint16_t in the static_assert to int, will allow the code to
build.
Make such int to access_t implicit conversion explicit to allow the code
to be compiled with both GCC and clang.
Issue #4354
This patch improves the robustness of the CPU-affinity handling.
- The types in base/affinity.h received the accessors
'Location::within(space)' and 'Affinity::valid', which alleviates
the fiddling with coordinates when sanity checking the values,
in init or core.
- The 'Affinity::Location::valid' method got removed because its
meaning was too vague. For sanity checks of affinity configurations,
the new 'within' method is approriate. In cases where only the x,y
values are used for selecting a physical CPU (during thread creation),
the validity check (width*height > 0) was not meaningful anyway.
- The 'Affinity::Location::from_xml' requires a 'Affinity::Space'
as argument because a location always relates to the bounds of
a specific space. This function now implements the selection of
whole rows or columns, which has previously a feature of the
sandbox library only.
- Whenever the sandbox library (init) encounters an invalid affinity
configuration, it prints a warning message as a diagnostic aid.
- A new 'Affinity::unrestricted' function constructs an affinity that
covers the whole affinity space. The named functions clarifies
the meaning over the previous use of the default constructor.
- Core's CPU service denies session requests with an invalid
affinity parameter. Previously, it would fall back to an
unrestricted affinity.

To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original

When rebasing my local branch on top of sculpt-21.10 tag I've noticed
two problems.
The code in new_delete.cc does not include new header file. This works
fine with GCC, but fails with clang because std::align_val_t type is
not defined anywhere according to clang. It looks like GCC pulls this
header indirectly somehow.
The second problem can be seen if one disallows undefined symbols in
executables and shared_libraries. This can be seen with both GCC and
clang by adding --no-undefined to LD_OPT. With such change in place core
fails to link due to:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: operator delete(void*, std::align_val_t)
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)

>>> did you mean: operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)
>>> defined in: debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a(supc++.o)
If the code would somehow manage call such undefined symbol it'd crash.
Since I generally prefer link time failures to runtime crashes I link
all genode binaries with --no-undefined.
To fix this problem just add a dummy implementation of missing delete
operator.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.
Issue #3767
Using 'alignas' in declarations might cause GCC to request for an
implementation of 'operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)'
although it might actually never be called. This commit adds a dummy
implementation to 'cxx/new_delete.cc' that does nothing more than printing an
error to the log that a proper implementation is missing. This approach is
coherent with our treatment of other global delete operators.

If one has an object X that has a minimum alignment requirement specified
through 'alignas' this requirement is normally inherited by objects that have
object X as member, and by those that have objects as member that have X as
member, and so on... . However, this chain used to get silently interrupted
(dropping the minimum alignment requirement to 8 again) at objects that are
managed with Genode::Reconstructible or Genode::Constructible. In order to fix
this, the commit ensures that Genode::Reconstructible (and therefore also
Genode::Constructible) has at least the minimum alignment requirement (using
'alignas') as the object it manages.

When we allowed symbol resolution during exceptions, we used the shared
object lock to protect ELF object list manipulation (e.g., dlopen,
dclose) when executing exception unwinding code in the linker.
Unfortunately, sometimes libraries that are loaded by 'dlopen' may raise
exceptions in the process, leading to a deadlock within the unwind code.
In order to resolve this, we now protect the object list operations
(i.e., enqueue, removal, iteration) by a separate mutex. This allows
the shared object interface to throw exceptions.

- The distinction of the use cases of regular allocations vs.

overload instead of relying on a default argument.

The 'Timer::Session::trigger_periodic' RPC function used to accept 0 as
a way to de-schedule the periodic processing. Several components such as
nitpicker relied on this special case. In "timeout: rework timeout
framework", the value of zero was silently clamped to 1, which has the
opposite effect: triggering signals at the maximum rate. This results in
a visible effect in Sculpt where the leitzentrale-nitpicker instance
produces a constant load of 2% CPU time.
This patch restores the original timer semantics by
- Documenting it in timer_session.h,
- Handling the case explicitly in the timer implementation, and
- Replacing the silent clamping of the unexpected value 0 passed
to the timeout framework by a diagnostic error message.
Issue #3884
This patch fixes a corner case where a child is destructed while a
asynchronous close request to a sibling server is still pending.
The child immediately discarded the session ID as the end of the
close-session processing, assuming that this ID is never to be needed
again. The session-state continues to exist to handle asynchrous close
protocol with the server.
However, if the child is destructed at this point (before the server
responded to the session request), the destruction of the child would
not cover the discharging of the session state because the session state
was no longer be part of the client's ID space. So once the asynchronous
close response from the server came in, the session state contained
stale information, in particular a stale closed_callback pointer.
The patch fixes the problem by deferring the discarding of the client ID
to the point where the session state is actually destructed. So the
session of a pending close response is covered by the child destructor.
Thanks to Pirmin Duss for reporting this issue along with a test
scenario for reproducing it!

- update to privileged ISA v1.10 (from v1.9.1)
- use direct system calls for privileged core threads (they call into
the kernel and don't use mode changing system calls, i.e. 'ecall',
semantics)
- use 'OpenSBI' semtantics for SBI calls (to machine mode) instead of
BBL
issue #4012
By first removing unused ranges, implicitly meta data allocations are freed
up. This leads to more unused slab blocks and freed up meta data allocations
in the avl tree.
Issue #4014
Even though the binary patching of ldso must be performed only once,
this postprocessing step was executed on each run because the
postprocess.tag rule is phony (the tag file is never created).
This patch removes this phony behavior by creating the tag file.
Issue #3974
The code in base-hw/src/bootstrap/platform.cc uses segment flags for
identification purposes. Based on this information the code decides
what to do with each segment. Unfortunately the linker script does
not actually ensure the flags for a specific named segment match
expectations. The code relies on implicit linker behaviour.
This implicit behaviour can vary between linkers. This breaks
arm_v7a base-hw builds linked with LLVM's lld linker. The segment
named "ro" ends up having writeable flag set when using LLD.
This patch ensures that all ELF segments in genode.ld have their
required perimssion flags set explicitly.
Fixes#3988
Clang is generally fine with Genode::List and compiles code using it
without emitting any warnings. There is however one exception. Clang
fails hard when building base-hw/src/core/kernel/object.cc.
This is due to a call to Genode::List::remove made from
Object_identity::invalidate function. The error message clang
produces is:
list.h:96:33: error: 'Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity_reference>::Element::_next'
is not a member of class 'const Kernel::Object_identity'
_first = le->List::Element::_next;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
When we look at the declaration of the Kernel::Object class on which
the remove method is called. as expected it does inherit Genode::List:
using Object_identity_list
= Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity>;
class Kernel::Object : private Object_identity_list
{
...
}
Given the error message we see that List::Element should be resolved to
Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity>::Element, and not
Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity_reference>::Element. But how does
clang manage to figure out we're talking about Object_identity_refecence
list here? Well, I admit I don't know the exact steps it takes to arrive
at this conclusion, but it is not entirely wrong. If we take a look at
what Kernel::Object_identity is we'll see:
class Kernel::Object_identity
: public Object_identity_list::Element,
public Kernel::Object_identity_reference_list
{
...
}
Where as one can guess Object_identity_reference_list is defined as:
using Object_identity_reference_list
= Genode::List<Object_identity_reference>;
Long story short Kernel::Object has Genode::List of both Kernel::Object_identity
and Kernel::Object_identity_reference in its inheritance chain and clang
is not really sure to which of those the code refers to in
Genode::List::remove method by using List::Element::.
The fix for this is relatively simple, explicitly state the full type of
the base class the code intends to refer to. Replacing List::Element,
with List<LT>::Element makes the code buildable with both clang and GCC.
Fixes#3990
* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
