The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.
- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
does not exist (yet)
Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.
The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.
Fixes#3733
- don't use 'qemu -serial mon:stdio' anymore as it no longer works as
expected
- use "bash -l" with [terminal] to read user's profile configuration,
e.g., PATH settings
- added missing boot modules and cap quotas
As a result of the API change the memory handling could be simplified.
Since the Block session dataspace is now directly used for DMA, we
actually only have to provide the memory for setting up PRP lists for
large requests (for the moment more than 8 KiB of data).
As we limit the maximum data transfer length to 2 MiB, we get by with
just a page per request. Those memory is allocated beforehand for the
maximum number of I/O requests, which got bumbed to 512 entries. Since
not all NVMe controllers support such large a maximum data transfer
length and this many entries, especially older ones, the values are
capped according to the properties of the controller during
initialization. (The memory demands of the component are around 3 MiB
due to setting up for the common case, even if a particular controller
is only able to make use of less.)
(Although there are controllers whose maximum memory page size is more
than 4K, the driver is hardcoded to solely use 4K pages.)
In addition to those changes, the driver now supports the 'SYNC' and
'TRIM' operations of the Block session by using the NVMe 'FLUSH' and
'WRITE_ZEROS' commands.
Fixes#3702.
The update modification timestamp is implemented as one-shot where
the caller is expected to try again if the first attempt failed (see
current libc implementation). So the message is misleading as further
attempts might succeed.
Issue #3713.
This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by
2064ffd64b nova: support multidimensional affinity space
The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful
boot as well as to detect unexpected reboots. This message should never
be logged twice and, thus, should not be part of the core_log. The patch
mentioned above moved the former run_boot_string after the core_log
initialization.
The tar vfs plugin returns an inode value of zero and a type directory
for null records, which wrongly triggers the file-system loop detection
of the find utility. This patch returns the node pointer as inode value
instead, which is a unique value.
Fixes#3695
This patch changes the 'Single_file_system' to return NO_PERM only if
the to-be-unlinked file corresponds to the single file. This way, a
<rom> co-mounted with a <ram> file-system does not stand in the way of
unlinking files from the <ram>. The concrete symptom occurred the
following scenario:
<vfs>
<dir name="home">
<ram/>
<rom name="..."/>
</dir>
</vfs>
The following sequence of commands wrongly resulted in "Operation not
permitted":
$ mkdir -p /home/a/b/c
$ rm -f /home/a/b/c/d
In this case, rm should not fail (unlink should return ENOENT)
Fixes#3690
When updating the domain object of interfaces that stay with the same domain
during a reconfiguration, until now, the normal "detach raw" function was used.
This caused the old domain object to discard a dynamic IP config as all
interfaces detached. This caused interfaces also to discard network links
established with the old configuration although it wasn't necessary. Thus, now
we use a dedicated "detach" in case that an interface actually stays with its
domain. This new "detach" doesn't decrease the interface counter of the domain,
so, it'll not discard its dynamic IP config. If, however, during a
reconfiguration, there's no interface calling this function (all interfaces
move to another or no domain), the dynamic IP config is still discarded as
expected.
Fixes#3686
Until now, the DHCP client was called also for DHCP requests when an interface
had a domain but yet no IP config. Now, an interface distinguishes between DHCP
requests and replies first and then accordingly calls the DHCP server or the
DHCP client if they're available. This also prevents that the DHCP client has
to handle packet headers other than that of DHCP.
Fixes#3681
Let the DHCP client be a constructible member of Interface that is constructed
only as long as the interface is attached to a domain with a dynamic IP config.
This prevents DHCP client timeouts from a period with dynamic IP config to
trigger after a reconfiguration to a static IP config. Furthermore, handle
DHCP-reply packets at an interface only when the DHCP client its constructed.
Otherwise drop such packets.

This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction

When specifying "/" or "" as rel_path to the 'Directory' constructor,
the constructed directory should refer to the same directory. The
implementation of the join utility did not consider this corner case. It
occurred during the attempt to use fs_query with "/" given as path.
This patch also adds a Directory::Entry::dir accessor that returns true
if the entry is a directory.

Especially the initial reset ended up with an unusable keyboard in rare

An invalid ROM dataspace can occur, for example, when requesting a ROM
from the report_rom service before the first report was posted. Such a
<rom> node can still be useful if it's dynamic. E.g., it can be watched.
Hence, the corner case of an invalid ROM dataspace should be gracefully
handled instead of causing an abort.
Issue #3606
This patch adds a special variant of a 'Content_producer' called
'Xml_producer', which allows the direct use of an 'Xml_generator'
for generating the ROM-module content.
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
This patch extends the 'Buffered_xml' utility with a new constructor
that fills the buffer with the output of an 'Xml_generator'. It thereby
presents an easy way to generate XML to be consumed locally.
The patch also add a deprecation mark to the original 'xml' accessor
because copying 'Xml_node' objects (here as return value) is dangerous.
The new 'with_xml_node' method should instead be used to access the XML
content stored in the buffer.

`volatile` effectively prevents instruction reordering by the compiler
and fixes an issue with -O3 compiled components.
Note, this commit does not address further arguments regarding memory
barriers and volatile voiced in issue #693.
Issue #693
This patch addresses a corner case where the nitpicker focus is not
solely defined by mouse clicks or (exclusively) by a window manager, but
by a policy component that takes mouse clicks and other policy (e.g.,
a lock screen) into account. It ensures that each click that follows a
focus change (however initiated) results in a new "clicked" report even
when the report looks the same. To allow the policy component to
uniquely distiguish subsequent reports, the report features a new
'version' attribute.
Fixes#3493
This is a follow-up patch for issue #1784 that solves two
inconsistencies.
- The Vfs::Timestamp::INVALID matches File_system::Timestamp::INVALID
- The Noux libc plugin tests for Timestamp::INVALID instead of a
positive value.
The patch fixes the mtime info as shown in directory listings in
Sculpt's inspect window.
This patch let the VFS server reflect the session policy via the
writeable bit in directory entries instead of merely forwarding the bit
from the respective VFS plugin. This way, all files originating from a
read-only file-system session automatically appear in directory listings
as read-only files.
Related to issue #3507
This patch prevents the driver from translating Insufficient_ram_quota
and Insufficient_cap_quota exceptions to Service_denied exceptions at
session-creation time. This enables the client to respond to such a
condition by retrying the session creation with increased session quota.
Add a new plugin for creating pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It is
intended to replace the libc_pipe plugin, one of the last remaining libc
plugins.
In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, this plugin defers cross-handle
notification until I/O signal handling rather than block and unblock
readers using a semaphore. This is a performance regression in the case
of multiple threads blocking on a pipe, but shall be an intermediate
mechanism pending renovations within the libc VFS and threading layers.
As a side effect, threads blocked on a pipe might not be resumed until
the main thread suspends and dispatches I/O signals.
The "test-libc_pipe" test has been adjusted to use the VFS pipe plugin
and tests both local pipes and pipes hosted remotely in the VFS server.
Merge adaptations (such as EOF handling, adjustment to VFS/libc
interface changes) by Norman Feske.
Fix#2303
This patch reworks the VFS server to become easier to understand.
- The packet-stream handling is hidden from the node types.
- Introduced the notion of a "job" as an abstraction from the raw packet
stream.
- The processing of requests is split into three phases:
(1) accepting new jobs,
(2) the execution of jobs, and
(3) the delivery of acknowledgements.
- There is no longer a global fifo of pending nodes. Instead, each
session has a fifo of "active" nodes, which are nodes that wait
for the completion of jobs.
- The Io_node type no longer uses virtual functions as hooks for
the derrived classes. Instead, it provides a number of utility
functions.
- The control flow of the 'Io_progress_handler' is now the same as
for the session-local packet-stream handler.
- Removed dependency from 'file_system/node.h', which is a relic
from the ram_fs.
While reworking the code, the following semantic changes were made
additionally.
- The handling of SEEK_TAIL no longer overwrites the file content at the
end of the file.
- Removed diagnostic message at session-creation time.
- Write loop for continuous files

This change allows for the conversion of directory entries in place
(i.e., in the VFS server) and anticipates the potential future merge of
both types into one.
Issue #3547
This patch equips the VFS terminal file system with the ability to
detect user interrupts in the incoming data stream, and propagate this
information via the new pseudo file '.terminal/interrupts'. Each time,
the user presses control-c in the terminal, the value stored in this
pseudo file is increased. Thereby, a VFS client can watch this file to
get notified about the occurrences of user interrupts.
Fixes#3546
The scratch buffer is now allocated from the heap and is shared
between the test as they are executed in a serial fashion. This
change saves memory as the test are constructed at start-up.
Fixes#3539.
This patch adds support for watch notifications for the
'Readonly_value_file_system', which is often used by VFS plugins to
implement pseudo files. It thereby enables VFS clients to respond to
VFS-plugin events (think of terminal resize) dynamically.
Fixes#3523
Uplink labels were stored in the uplink objects as reference. As uplink objects
may be re-used on re-configuration to avoid unnecessary closing and re-opening
of NIC sessions, the label reference could get invalid as the object that
stored the label content didn't get re-used. Thus, the label is now copied to
the uplink object.
Fixes#3529
This adds two new boolean attributes to the <report> tag of the NIC router
configuration 'link_state' and 'link_state_triggers'. The former decides
whether to report the link state of each NIC interface (downlink, uplinks) at
the NIC router. The other decides whether to trigger reporting each time the
link state of an interface changes.
Fixes#3527
If a MAC address was once allocated for a downlink and during the further
creation of the downlink an exception caused the creation to be aborted, the
NIC router didn't free the MAC address again.
Ref #3525
The handling of exceptions during session creation implies freeing and
detaching the RAM DS behind the session env and session component. But this
was done using the session env located in the same RAM DS, which must
lead to problems. Now, the session env from the RAM DS is copied to the stack
and the operations are done on this temporary instance instead.
Ref #3525
When the construction of a member of Packet_stream_*::Rpc_object after
the _cap member threw an exception, the object was not dissolved from
the entrypoint although the Rpc_object vanished at this point. This was
because the call to 'manage()' happened in the initializer list (for the
_cap member instantiation). The destruction of the _cap member then did
not dissolve the object.
This first fix moves the call to 'manage()' into the constructor body
after the instantiation of all other members. A more sophisticated fix
would use some kind of 'Managed_object' life-time guard that manages an
object on construction and dissolves on destruction.
Ref #3525
When re-configuring a domain from using a static IP config to using a dynamic
IP config, attached interfaces didn't react with doing DHCP discover. This bug
is fixed now and the nic_router_flood test was adapted in a way that it tests
the described behavior.
Fix#3518
Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like vim to edit init
configurations dynamically, which alleviates the need for a custom CLI.
The CLI-monitor component was too limited for use cases like Sculpt
anyway.
The patch also removes the ancient (and untested for long time)
terminal_mux.run script, which used to be the only remaining user of the
CLI monitor.
Issue #3512
This driver manually checks if the RAM quota is big enough for the
Lan9118 nic session component. The problem is Root_component::_create
from which Root_component::_create_session gets called does already
check this. No need to account for it twice.
Fixes#3514
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
Moving the handling into the input-session clients enables more
sophisticated implementations (like Qt5) to apply key-symbol based
handling of those modifiers like correct CTRL-A with QWERTY and AZERTY
layouts and distinction of CTRL-J and Return.

The API still exports 32-bit address and size values only, which works
