This patch renames 'wakeup_client' to 'wakeup_client_if_needed' to
clarify that the method triggers signals only when needed, not on every
call.
The name 'wakeup_client' is prone to misguide users to call the function
conditionally as an optimization, thereby complicating the code, but to
no effect.
Fixes#3279
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
nullglob is needed to get an empty shell glob in case no matching binary
archive (path) exists. Otherwise, the original glob string including the
* is returned and used in the for loop.
Triggering of an invalidated signal seems to be no real exception,
but something that occurs regularily. Therefore, the kernel warning
is of no use to developers anymore.
Ref #3277
As far as possible remove usage of warning/error/log in the kernel,
otherwise the kernel context might try to take a lock hold by a core
thread, which results in a syscall to block.
Fix#3277
This patch removes the reliance of the extract tool from the libc's
behavior regarding the access of time and timing.
The extract tool is not expected to need time. However, unfortunately,
libarchive calls the 'time' function unconditionally. By adding a
dummy for 'time', we avoid bothering the libc, which would otherwise
need to obtain a time source.
Issue #3204
In the original version, I used 'number_of_bits' because Ada's 'Size
returns the size in bits, not bytes. But the values (for objects) are
always a multiple of 8. On the C++ side, performing size checks at the
granularity of bits is just awkward. The term 'object size' is more
natural.
* necessary for enabling the kernel debugging facilities on base-foc
(outstring, fiasco_tbuf_log_3val and friends)

By adding a wildcard at the beginning of (expected) error messages, the
test.run tool becomes able to match the lines (ignoring the characters
of the color escape sequence).
The 'aes_cbc_4k' library is simple wrapper around libsparkcrypto to
serve as a backend for storage encryption. It operates on data chunks of
4 KiB and uses AES-CBC while incorporating the block number and the
private key as salt values.
Discovered while creating an ext2 file system on an sd_card (no
partitions, imx6), which failed with an error message that stated the
device is in use. Genode's libc/posix layer has no notion of mount
points.
Fixes#3271
Disconnecting a client and connecting an other to the sd_card_drv
on imx6 results in a "Completion host signal timed out" error in
the newly connected client.
Fixes#3272
The "nameserver" file cannot be opened through a VFS File_system client
if the plugin does not support opening the parent directory of
"/nameserver", which would be "/".
Ref #3269
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.
Fix#3257
Make sure that the rwlock is allocated before a lock operation is
performed. This case occurs if a static rwlock was create by using
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER. Same goes for PTHREAD_CONDS_INITIALIZER.
Fixes#3262.
Since QEMU might put the audio device at 00:03.0, also check if the
vendor is Intel. Hopefully we do not render HDA on real machines
useless with this changes (so far I have not encountered one).
Fixes#3263.
For better or worse we have no proper way of handling this right now
but contrib libraries, e.g. glib, use it to determine if they can use
the underlying fd.
Fxies #3265.
This patch handles version collisions of binary archives. If a binary
archive for an (automatically) updated src-archive version already
exists in the depot, the extract tool removes the binary archive because
its existing content may stem from another src content (a version from a
different topic branch). This ensures that the new version is always
built, not skipped, when 'UPDATE_VERSIONS=1 REBUILD=' is specified.
Fixes#3267
Issue #3111
- enable vt-x in kernel configuration
Kernel patches:
- add unrestricted guest support
- avoid kernel boot failure when vt-x is not available
- avoid nullpointer in kernel when vcpu is not fully setup
- avoid vcpu scheduling bug which causes starvation on same/below prio level
- save efer register correctly from guest
The '_currently_constructed' pointer caches the information about which
'Launched_child' is currently configured in the menu. When discarding
the runtime (e.g., when un-using a file system) at this point, this
cached pointer was not invalidated while all 'Launched_child' objects
would be freed (including the currently constructed one). On the next
attempt to construct a new child, the sculpt manager attempted to
destruct the 'Launched_child' referred by the (now outdated)
'_currently_constructed' again.
Fixes#3240
