After VirtIO::Queue refactoring buffers no longer share the same
dataspace as VirtIO rings. This makes optimal buffer calculations a lot
easier. In this case 64 buffers 2kB each will need precisely 128kB of
RAM. Previous value of 2016 will just waste 768b.
Fixed#4347
The key changes in this patch are:
* Buffer allocation is moved into a separate Buffer_pool helper. The
implementation of the buffer allocation strategy does not change.
The helper allocates a single RAM dataspace and splits it in multiple,
equally sized chunks.
* Management of main descriptor ring is enacapsulated in Descriptor_ring
helper class.
* Use separate RAM dataspaces for descriptor rings and buffers.
Previously both of them were packed into a single dataspace. This
might have been more RAM efficient, but IMO it made the code uglier and
harder to understand.
* All of the VirtIO::Queue members are now initialized on the class member
initializer list. This is possible due to previously listed changes.
* Since all VirtIO::Queue members are initalized on member initalizer
list, some additional ones can be marked as const, ex _avail, _used ring
pointers.
* Move descriptor writing code into a common method used by both
write_data and write_data_read_reply members. This avoids some code
duplication between those methods.
* Get rid of request_irq argument that most public VirtIO::Queue methods
accept. None of the existing drivers use it and I doubt this will
change any time soon.
* Use Genode namespace by default in Virtio.
This patch also fixes at least one bug that I discovered while working
on VirtIO block device driver. Namely, when chaining descriptors only the
first descriptor in the chain should be exposed in the available ring.
Issue #4347
The const-variant of the data() method contained an erroneous
calculation of the tail size. This led to the size guard throwing
exceptions when trying to parse TCP packets that only contained the
TCP header.
Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4340
Thanks to Piotr Tworek for the fix and his explanation as follows:
The basic idea is to try to fit payload data into the descriptor used to
send the header. If there is no payload, or the payload fits exactly
into the remaining space in the header decriptor, len should be 0 and
only one descriptor should be used. In such case the "next" and "flags"
members of the descriptor structure should be set to 0.
In case there is some extra payload data to send, but its size is
bigger than the remaining free space in the descriptor used to send the
header, len should contain the remaining size of the payload that
can't be sent via the header descriptor. The code will then chain
additional descriptors to handle this remainder.
With the len variable shadowing, the code will never queue the remaining
data.
Issue #4327
Share datastructures for clock, power and reset related configurations
per device. In the generic platform driver component these structures
are kept empty. Driver derivates can fill the clocks settings, power and
reset switches with life. The former Driver::Env gets removed.
Fix#4338
This change of the inner working of the platform driver for ARM allows
clients to have permanent open sessions, as long as a policy node matches
the client. If devices disappear from the policy resp. from the set of
available devices (hotplug), the devices ROM of the session gets updated,
and a corresponding device session gets closed. If the device remains
untouched in the configuration but other devices appeared/disappeared, the
device session is not affected.

The requested guest-physical memory range may comprise multiple attached

the API to prevent long-running detach loops in core that may lock out
requests by other components.
* Only give managing_system permission when all parent nodes of the

The Session_component must be destroyed before updating the device

Pre-allocate all possible type of policy objects as part of the thread meta
state to avoid increased memory consumption due to different policy object
sizes. The cpu_balancer accounts the memory per client and can't forward
potentially occurring out-of-ram exceptions during config-ROM update phases.
Fixes#4333
The commits avoids reading in and allocating memory for all potentially
threads, which are potentially currently not existent (but configured in the
policy beforehand). Instead the policy is read in and evaluated when a thread
is created and policy changes are solely applied to existing/running threads.
By this the commit avoids the increase of memory consumption during the
evaluation of policies during config ROM updates.
Issue #4333
This implements the necessary bits to provide 2D framebuffer support on
top of VirtIO GPU device as implemented in Qemu. I don't know if any
other implementation of this specific device exists.
Compared to the ramfb driver which already exists in Genode Virtio FB driver
has one major benefit. It allows Qemu window to be dynamically resized at
runtime. The driver will treat this as resolution change and act accordingly.
Ramfb driver can currently only use the hardcoded 1024x768 screen size. Changing
screen resolution might not sound like a big deal, but it is rather useful to
run Genode on Qemu in full screen mode.
Some more advanced devices like VirtIO GPU do expect they can receive
responses to VirtIO commands they issue via VirtIO queue. Such responses
are not sent via a separate device writeable queue. Instead the driver
is expected to queue some additional descriptors and buffers which the
device can then use to provide the reply.
This patch adds support for such write-data-read-response opeartion to
Genode VirtIO::Queue implementation. The implementation is pretty simple
and does not support any fancy features like receiving the response
asynchronously. Instead the operation will use caller provided callback
to wait for the device to process the command. Once this callback
returns the write-data-read-response VirtIO::Queue function will invoke
another callback passing received response as argument.
Mesa queries information about the underlying device and this header
denotes the layout of the information. It is also used by the driver
itself to populate the 'info_dataspace'.

Since the parts of the 'etnaviv' library are already part of the

This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
The former use of Pthread conditionals did not cover the corner case of
early wakeups just before halting the CPU. These wakeups were simply
lost which resulted in sporadic halts of about 500 ms (the maximum timeout
of all halts in VirtualBox). RTSEMEVENTMULTI preserves early wakeups
and effectively prevents the CPU from halting.
Additionally, we now wakeup the target CPU on VMMR0_DO_GVMM_SCHED_POLL
and, thus, mimic the behavior of the original implementation slightly
better,
Slightly related to #4313
Since the top-level node of the output ROM is always generated by the

This patch makes the test less dependent on the rate of state updates by
calculating the upgraded quota from the values found in the state report
instead of simply increasing the '_ram_quota' for each incoming report.
This patch replaces the 'Ram_allocator::alloc' RPC function by a
'try_alloc' function, which reflects errors as 'Attempt' return value
instead of an exception.

This patch introduces the lx_emul/pin.h interface that enables GPIO stub
drivers to interact with Genode's Pin_control and IRQ sessions via a
simple C API.
Fixes#4316
The new interfaces are meant to gradually replace the existing
Gpio_session interface.
- Each session refers to a single pin.
- The session types distiguish the direction of the signal as input or
output.
- Pin coordinates can be selected via session labels.
- GPIO interrupts are covered by the regular IRQ session interface.
The interfaces are accompanied by framework utilities and interfaces:
- os/pin_driver.h
- pin_control_session/component.h
- pin_state_session/component.h
These headers relieve GPIO drivers from implementing boilerplate code by
providing device-agnostic portions. The A64 pio driver serves as
reference for using those utilities.

Allow specifying additional qemu arguments for externally supported boards
(e.g. zynq_qemu) by adding a `qemu_args` file in the board-property directory.
The syntax of the qemu_args file is as follows:
- Arguments can appear in a single line or in multiple lines as the
lines will be appended (separated by a whitespace) to the global
qemu_args variable.
- If the line is prepended with a `foobar:` expression. The arguments
are only added if the foobar spec is present.
Note, that a `-m` argument specified in the qemu_args file will
override the arguments provided by the run scripts.
genodelabs/genode#4311
First, the former implementation has only considered the pure numerical
variant of the -m argument. Yet, qemu also allows specifying the amount
of memory by `-m 1G`, `-m size=1G` and more.
Second, the default amount of memory for BOARD=pc was 512M (800M in case of okl4).
Since the depot_autopilot.run also required at least 768M on all
platforms it seems reasonable to take 800M as a default value for BOARD=pc and
thereby remove the special treatment of okl4.

In the default setting the number of root ports is set to 4. This
also limits the number of USB host devices that may be attached to

only 3 available USB2 slots to attach USB host devices. Depending on
the use-case that might not be enough.
This commit statically increases the number of ports to 8 each and
adapts the qemu-usb glue-code accordingly.

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.

This patch extends the notion of having only one uniquely hovered client
in the presence of held keys.
If motion occurs once a key is pressed (e.g., while dragging), the

we have to submit an artificial leave event to the originally hovered
client so that no more than one client observes itself as being hovered
at the same time. Once the key sequence is finished, the hovering is
updated again, eventually presenting a motion event to the originally
hovered client and a leave event to the receiver of the key sequence.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'

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

This commit removes the report service from the usb_webcam pkg, which
was used to enable or disable the webcam driver. The on/off state is
instead controlled by the presence of a capture client. That is, once a
capture client appears, the webcam driver is started. Vice versa, once
no capture client exists, the webcam driver is removed automatically.
Internally, the detection of presence of a capture client is based on
nitpicker's 'displays' report, which is consumed as input of the
rom_filter, which in turn generates the configuration of a dynamic sub
init.

'Out_of_ram' was so far the only exception a client had to deal with
during buffer managment. Allocating memory, however, does not only
consume RAM quota but CAP quota as well.
This commit tries to mitigate that shortcoming by reflecting the
'Out_of_caps' state back to the client. Furthermore it allows for
resource accounting on certain client allocations, e.g. buffers.
Fixes#4284.
Allocating and mapping buffers not only consumes RAM quota, it consumes
CAP quota as well. Extended the Gpu session to allow for dealing with
that on the client side.
On a side note, the amount of initial CAP quota needed to establish
a connection is increased to cover the current costs of the Intel
GPU multiplexer.
Issue #4284.
The platform driver uses a 'Constrained_ram_allocator' to allocate
meta-data on behave of a client. It uses the PD session as
'Ram_allocator' back end that in return is implemented via the

Whenever the PD client itselft comes into resource shortage it will
ask its parent unconditionally. However, depending on the integration,
such a request may be left unanswered.
This commit introduces a check to prevent that situation from
occurring. In case the platform driver notices the resource shortage
it will reflect that back to the client.

A private key of 256 bits is generated pseudo-randomly using the jitterentropy

unlocking the CBE device, the encrypted private key is read from the key file
and decrypted with the hash of the users passphrase.

There were no means for issuing a Deinitialize request at the CBE using the
CBE VFS plugin. The new control/deinitialize file fixes this. When writing
"true" to the file, a Deinitialize request is submitted at the CBE. When
reading the file, the state of the operation is returned as a string of the

Stat calls on the control/extend and control/rekey files returned a bogus file
size that led to an error in the VFS File_content tool. The tool complained
that the size of the file determined while reading the content differs from the
one reported by the stat operation. Now, the stat call will always determine
the actual size of what would be read. However, it isn't guaranteed that this
size doesn't change in the time after the stat operation and before the read
operation.

The service is loaded dynamically VBoxSharedClipboard.so at runtime. The

the VBoxSharedClipboard.so ROM to its real name
virtualbox6-sharedclipboard.lib.so.
During Windows 10 boot with sequential block requests, the AHCI request

'<translation_table.h>' using these implicit path resolutions. This commit
removes hardware-specific include paths except for
1) the '<board.h>' include paths (e.g., 'src/core/board/pbxa9'),
2) most architecture-specific include paths (e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm_v7'),
3) include paths that reflect usage of virtualization or ARM Trustzone
(e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm/virtualization').
The first category is kept because, in contrast to the former "spec"-mechanism,
the board variable used for this type of resolution is not deprecated and the
board headers are meant to be the front end of hardware-specific headers
towards generic code which is why they must be available generically via
'<board.h>'.
The second category is kept because it was suggested by other maintainers that
simple arch-dependent headers (like for the declaration of a CPU state) should
not imply the inclusion of the whole '<board.h>' and because the architecture
is given also without the former "spec"-mechanism through the type of the build
directory. I think this is questionable but am fine with it.
The third category is kept because the whole way of saying whether
virtualization resp. ARM Trustzone is used is done in an out-dated manner and
changing it now would blow up this commit a lot and exceed the time that I'm
willing to spend. This category should be subject to a future issue.
Ref #4217
The 'src/core/board/<board>/board.h' header is thought as front end of
hardware-specific headers of a given board towards the generic base-hw Core
code. Therefore it leads to problems (circular includes) if the board.h header
is included from within another hardware-specific header.
If hardware-specific headers access declarations from namespace Board in a
definition, the definition should be moved to a compilation unit that may
include board.h. If hardware-specific headers access declarations from board.h
in a declaration, they should either use the primary declaration from the
original header or, if the declaration must be selected according to the board,
another board-specific header should be introduced to reflect this abstraction.
This is applied by this commit for the current state of base-hw.
Ref #4217
It is not necessary to have a class, an object, and a generic header for the
perfomance counter. The kernel merely enables the counter using cpu registers
('msr' instructions, no MMIO) on arm_v6 and arm_v7 only. Therefore this commit
makes the header arm-specific and replaces class and global static object with
a function for enabling the counter.
Fixes#4217
Let the kernel's driver for the global IRQ controller be a member of the one
Kernel::Main object instead of having it as static variables in the drivers for
the local IRQ controllers. Note that this commit spares out renaming 'Pic' to
'Local_interrupt_controller' which would be more sensible now with the new
'Global_interrupt_controller' class. Furthermore, on ARM boards the commit
doesn't move 'Distributer' stuff to the new global IRQ controller class as they
don't have real data members (only MMIO) and can be instanciated for each CPU
anew. However, the right way would be to instanciate them only once in Main as
well.
Ref #4217
The unmanaged-singleton approach was used in this context only because of the
alignment requirement of the Core main-UTCB. This, however can also be achieved
with the new 'Aligned' utility, allowing the UTCB to be a member of the Core
main-thread object.
Ref #4217
It's sufficient to access the boot info only on kernel initialization time.
Therfore, it can remain completely hidden to the rest of the kernel inside
kernel/main.cc in the initialization function.
