This patch equips init with the ability to report its internal state in
the form of a "state" report. This feature can be enabled by placing a
'<report>' node in init's configuration.
The report node accepts the following arguments (with their default
values):
'delay_ms="100"': specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before
producing a new report. This way, many consecutive state changes -
like they occur during the startup - do not result in an overly
large number of reports but are merged into one final report.
'buffer="4K"': the maximum size of the report in bytes. The attribute
accepts the use of K/M/G as units.
'init_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
with the memory stats of init.
'ids="no"': supplement the children in the report with unique IDs, which
may be used to infer the lifetime of children accross configuration
updates in the future;
'requested="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all session requests initiated by the children.
'provided="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all sessions provided by all servers.
'session_args="no"': level of detail of the session information
generated via 'requested' or 'provided'.
'child_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
for each child based on the information obtained from the child's RAM
session.
Issue #2246
This patch enhances init with the support for rewriting session labels
in the target node of a matching session route. For example, a Noux
instance may have the following session route for the "home" file
system:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs"/>
</service>
...
</route>
At the rump_fs file-system server, the label of the file-system session
will appear as "noux -> home". This information may be evaluated by
rump_fs's server-side policy. However, when renaming the noux instance,
we'd need to update this server-side policy.
With the new mechanism, the client's identity can be hidden from the
server. The label could instead represent the role of the client, or a
name of a physical resource. For example, the Noux route could be
changed to this:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs" label="primary_user"/>
</service>
...
</route>
When the rump_fs receives the session request, it is presented with the
label "primary_user". The fact that the client is "noux" is not taken
into account for the server-side policy selection.
Issue #2248
This commit includes changes to the Nic::Session_component interface.
We now pass the entire env to the component instead of only ram, rm and
the ep because we need the env to open connections from within the
Session_component implemenation. So far only the cadence_gem driver
needs this, though.
Issue #2280.
This patch enhances init with the ability to route individual
environment sessions. Prior this patch, environment sessions could be
routed only by an all-encompassing '<service>' node that would match
both child-initiated and environment sessions.
In contrast to the existing 'label', 'label_prefix', and 'label_suffix'
attributes of '<service>' nodes, which are always scoped with ther name
of the corresponding child, the 'unscoped_label' allows the definition
of routing rules for all session requests, including init's requests for
the child's environment sessions. For example, to route the ROM session
requests for a child's dynamic linker, the following route would match:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so"> ... </service>
</route>
Issue #2215
This patch adds the handling of 'CHARACTER' events as emitted by the
input-filter's character generator (<chargen>). To avoid interpreting
press/release events twice (at the input filter and by the terminal's
built-in scancode tracker), the terminal's scancode tracker can be
explicitly disabled via <config> <keyboard layout="none"/> </config>.
In the future, the terminal's built-in scancode tracker will be
removed.
The use of the terminal with the input filter is illustrated by the
'terminal_echo.run' script.
Issue #2264
Character events are created via a dedicated 'Event' constructor that
takes an 'Event:Utf8' object as argument. Internally, the character is
kept in the '_code' member. The 'Utf8' value can by retrieved by the
recipient via the new 'utf8' method.
Issue #2264
The read-ready packet informs the server that the client wants to be
notified if a handle becomes readable. When becoming readable, the
server acknowledges packet and the client may queue a read requests
accordingly.
This patch eliminates the need for a global allocator by passing the
parent-service registry as argument to the 'Slave::Policy' constructor.
Fixes#2269
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
Replacing the node lookup table with an Id_space removes the
limit on open handles per session and allows mutal associativity
between File_system handles and local VFS handles.
Fix#2221
The new utility at 'os/static_parent_services.h' allows the creation of
a registry of parent services at compile time and thereby eliminates the need
for dynamic memory allocations whenever the set of services is known at
compile time as is the case for most uses of 'Slave::Policy'. The commit
showcases the utility in the bomb test.
This commit enables compile-time warnings displayed whenever a deprecated
API header is included, and adjusts the existing #include directives
accordingly.
Issue #1987
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely

This patch changes the 'Xml_node_label_score' to regard an empty
label_prefix or label_suffix as a match instead of a conflict. Until
now, there was no use case for an empty label_prefix. But with init's
new ability to route environment sessions, an empty prefix denotes any
child-initiated session (as oposed to an parent-initiated environment
session).

This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely

For the time being, some places within the base framework continue
to rely on the global function while omitting the warning by calling
'env_deprecated' instead of 'env'.

This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.
Issue #2120
This is a redesign of the root and parent interfaces to eliminate
blocking RPC calls.
- New session representation at the parent (base/session_state.h)
- base-internal root proxy mechanism as migration path
- Redesign of base/service.h
- Removes ancient 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature
- Interface change of 'Child', 'Child_policy', 'Slave', 'Slave_policy'
- New 'Slave::Connection'
- Changed child-construction procedure to be compatible with the
non-blocking parent interface and to be easier to use
- The child's initial LOG session, its binary ROM session, and the
linker ROM session have become part of the child's envirenment.
- Session upgrading must now be performed via 'env.upgrade' instead
of performing a sole RPC call the parent. To make RAM upgrades
easier, the 'Connection' provides a new 'upgrade_ram' method.

Issue #2060
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

Annotations by nfeske:
This commit also changes the ROM session to use base/log.h instead of

vbox headers have a '#define Log', which collides with the content of
base/log.h. Hence, this commit has to take precautions to resolve this

Allocating a packet in the packet stream without a payload is not
allowed. Therefore we have to allocate CTRL message packets, that do
not have a payload, with a bogus length instead.
This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.
A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.
To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.
Fixes#1939
These warnings are triggered by requests either using byte offsets or
reading a number of bytes that is not a multiple of the block size as

This patch supplements each existing connection type with an new
constructor that is meant to replace the original one. The new
one takes a reference to the component's environment as argument and
thereby does not rely on the presence of the globally accessible
'env()' interface.
The original constructors are marked as deprecated. Once we have
completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.
Fixes#1960
Replace size_t by uint8_t in accessors for the IPv4 header fields
'version' and 'header_length' - uint8_t is the smallest integral type
for 4 bit of information. Note, as the _internet header length_ field is
defined to reflect the number of 32-bit words the header occupies, we
also stick to the specification with our accessor.
Issue #1915
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
We report UNLINK_ERR_NO_PERM only for files in TAR archive, otherwise
UNLINK_ERR_NO_ENTRY is returned. This permits the arbitrary layering of
file systems with support for proper ENOENT reporting, for example,
when using 'rm -f non_existent_file' that aborts if EPERM is wrongly
reported.
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.
Note the API change:
This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.
Issue #1938
Since the dynamic linker depends on the XML utils and we plan to replace
the ancient 'Arg_string' with XML, it is time to move the 'Xml_node' and
'Xml_generator' to base/include.
We will eventually remove the delivery of the number of occurred signals
to the recipient. There haven't been any convincing use cases for this
feature. In the contrary, it actually led to wrong design choices in the
past where the rate of signals carried information (such as the progress
of time) that should better be obtained via an explicit RPC call.
The old 'Signal_rpc_member' template retains the old interface for now.
But the new 'Signal_handler' omits the 'unsigned' argument from the
handler function.
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
Currently the report name is used implicitly as first xml node name for the

This reverts commit d8b95c263b.
Some clients might want to fiddle with the clients play position
(e.g. the mixer) within 'Audio_out::start()' and we might reset
it to an old value if we do it afterwards.
Fixes#1796.
Since all Audio_out server components loop over the packet stream
queue it is save to reset the tail position to one after the play
position. We have to do this because we do not know exactly when
the play position changes (i.e. the driver has processed the packet)
and we might end up with a tail position before the current play
position.

This patch unifies the mechanism of selecting server-side policies and

This patch changes the decorator to always apply stacking-order changes
immediately instead of deferring the re-stacking of the nitpicker views
to the next call of 'update_nitpicker_views'. The deferred application
did not always work when more then one windows changed their stacking
position at once because the cached '_neighbor' values interfered with
each other.
The eager re-stacking should not have negative effects on the user
experience because, in contrast to re-positioning, re-stacking a rare
operation.
This change makes it possible to reuse the generic window decorator
classes in include/decorator/ for decorators of a different structure.
E.g., instead of painting decorations on a single nitpicker session,
each window may paint its decorations into additional window-specific
nitpicker sessions.
The notion of a channel is shared by the mixer backend as well as the
frontend. To make dealing with reports between those easier move the
Channel definition to a global header.

This patch introduces a shortcut for conditional session routes of the
form '<if-arg key="label" value="..."/>'. With this change, the label

and I hope to be able to ultimately remove it.
Currently, when a signal arrives in the main thread, the signal dispatcher is
retrieved and called from the main thread, the dispatcher uses a proxy object
that in turn sends an RPC to the entry point. This becomes a problem when the
entry point destroys the dispatcher object, before the dispatch function has
been called by the main thread. Therefore, the main thread should simply send an
RPC to the entry point upon signal arrival and the dispatching should be handled
solely by the entry point.

This patch moves the formerly internal classes of the report-ROM service
to the public location os/include/report_rom/ so that they can be reused
by other components such as the upcoming clipboard.
This overload of the value member eases the retrieval of Genode::String
objects from XML attributes. So we won't need to deal with C-style
character buffers anymore.
The utilities in os/session_policy.h used to be tailored for the
matching of session arguments against a server-side policy
configuration. However, the policy-matching part is useful in other
situations, too. This patch removes the tight coupling with the
session-argument parsing (via Arg_string) and the hard-wired use of
'Genode::config()'.
To make the utilities more versatile, the 'Session_label' has become a
'Genode::String' (at the time when we originally introduced the
'Session_label', there was no 'Genode::String'). The parsing of the
session arguments happens in the constructor of this special 'String'.
The constructor of 'Session_policy' now takes a 'Genode::String' as
argument. So it can be used with the 'Session_label' but also with other
'String' types. Furthermore, the implicit use of 'Genode::config()' can
be overridden by explicitly specifying the config node as an argument.
Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly
kill subsystems but both used to ignore gracefully exiting subsystems.
It was the user's job to remove the remains of those subsystems. The
patch takes the burden of manually killing exited subsystems from the
user.

Fix#1697
The intention of Packet_ref was to allow clients to place opaque
references into the packet descriptor itself, which could be observed on
packet completion. Currently no component in our sources uses this
feature and beyond that it is questionable if it should be used at all:
If the server tampers with the ref the client may easily be confused
into observing an incorrect or invalid context. It seems better to
remove the opaque context from the descriptor and leave the actual
implementation to the client and its needs.
This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:
<start name="noux">
<exit propagate="yes"/>
...
</start>
If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.

Issue #1647.
The alarm library failed to handle the case properly where an already
scheduled alarm gets rescheduled before it triggered. Even though the
attempt to reschedule the alarm (twice insertion into alarm queue) was
detected, this condition resulted in the mere modification of the
alarm's parameters while keeping the alarm's queue position unchanged.
This, in turn, may violate the invariant that all enqueued alarm objects
are strictly ordered by their deadlines. The patch handles the case by
dequeuing the alarm object before reinserting it into the queue at the
right position.
Fixes#1646
In line with the Audio_out session a Audio_in session is used to
record audio frames. Like in the Audio_out session shared memory
in form of the Audio_in::Stream is used to transport the frames
from the server to the client. These frames consist of single
channel (mono) samples. An Audio_in::Packet always contains a full
period of frames.
A Audio_in server captures frames and puts them into the
Audio_in::Stream. To do so the server allocates a Audio_in::Packet
from the packet queue embedded in the Audio_in::Stream. If the queue
is already full, the server will override packets and notify the
client by submitting the 'overrun' signal. The client has to cope
with this situation, e.g., by saving packets more frequently.
A client will also receive a 'progress' signal from the server when
a new Audio_in::Packet was submitted to the packet queue.
Fixes#1644.
To archive lower latency the length of a period was reduced from
2048 (~46ms) to 512 (~11.6ms) samples.
It should be noted that this change probably breaks audio in Qemu on
most systems.
Issue #1644.
Move FS Node implementations from server/ram_fs to include/ram_fs.
Support embedded ram_fs instances in VFS configurations using <ram/>.
Add 'no space' handling to VFS symlink ops.
Fixes#1635
Allow symlinks to be passed to the read and write file system utilities.
Disallow writes to symlinks with offsets in file system servers, this is
to ensure that writing the target of a symlink is an atomic operation.
Fixes#1604
Init used to specify the unique child name as session label when
requesting the binary image of a dynamically linked child. The actual
module name was propagated as "filename" session argument. Since we want
to move towards the sole use of the session label, which can be taken
into account for the session routing, the module name should always be
the last part of a ROM session label.
This patch changes the window manager, the decorator, and the
floating window layouter to propagate the usage of an alpha channel from
the client application to the decorator. This way, the decorator can
paint the decoration elements behind the affected windows, which would
otherwise be skipped.
Removed the Nic::Driver implementation. All nic servers now inherit from
Nic::Session_component. Packet stream signals are dispatched to
the 'handle_packet_stream' function within a session component. Thus, nic
servers now have direct access to the packet stream channels, making handling
more flexible.
Adjusted nic_loobpack, dde_ipxe, wifi, usb, lan9118, Linux nic, and OpenVPN to
the new interface.
Fixes#1602
This patch bases the size of the destination buffer in
'Init::Child_policy_redirect_rom_file' on the maximum label size
instead of the filename size. Otherwise, the use of a long configfile
name (i.e., "trace_subject_reporter.config") in combination with a long
child name ("trace_subject_reporter") would result in a truncated label
string.
By appending a newline to the generated XML data, we prevent the output
from messing with the command prompt when using 'cat' on a shell.
Futhermore, when using line-buffered output, the trailing newline
ensures that the output gets gets properly flushed.
This patch moves the VFS file-system factory to a separate vfs library
that is independent from libc. This enables libc-less Genode programs to
easily use the VFS infrastructure.
Fixes#1561
- send a 'state_change' signal on session creation if the device is
already attached
- evaluate the status code of a finished asynchronous operation
- return the number of actually transferred bytes for control transfers,
too
Fixes#1490
Step to move shared irq handling out of core in the long run. So, use
irq_proxy implementation from base in os and implement shared irq handling
in platform driver of x86 (pci_drv).
Fixes#1471
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
Use the new asynchronous IRQ interface in the mostly used drivers, e.g.:
* ahci_drv: x86/exynos5
* gpio_drv: imx53/omap4
* input_drv: imx53/dummy
* ps2_drv: x86/pl050
* timer_drv
Now, the Irq_session is requested from Gpio::Session:
From now on we use an asynchronous IRQ interface. To prevent triggering
another GPIO IRQ while currently handling the former one, IRQs must
now by acknowledged explicitly. While here, we also changed the GPIO
session interface regarding IRQ management. The generic GPIO component
now wraps the Irq_session managed by the backend instead of using the
GPIO backend methods directly. A client using the GPIO session may
request the Irq_session_capability by calling
'Gpio::Session::irq_session()' and can use this capability when using
a local Irq_session_client.
Issue #1456.
This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
If a client acknowledges the same packet more than once, the packet also
gets freed more than once. At the second attempt the underlaying
Bit_array will throw an 'Invalid_clear' exception, which results in an
uncaught exception that leads to an abort() call in the freeing
component.
Fixes#1462.
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
When returning early on directory operations, file systems that might
be able to handle the request but come after the current one are not
tried.
Fixes#1400.
Instead of returning an uint64_t value, return a structured time stamp.
This change is only visible to components using Rtc_session directly.
Fixes#1381.
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.
! <start name="test">
! <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>
This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test". Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.
The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.
Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.
This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.
fix#1275
This patch ensures that priority values passed as session arguments
are within the valid range of priorities. Without the clamping, a child
could specify a priority of a lower priority band than the one assigned
to the subsystem. Thanks to Johannes Schlatow for reporting this issue.
Fixes#1279
The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
The new 'session_control' function can be used to perform operations on
the global view stack that span one or multiple sessions, e.g., bringing
all views of specific sessions to the front, or hiding them.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
This patch add an optional alpha argument to the constructor, which may
be passed to a pixel type representing an alpha channel. Furthermore,
a new overload of the mix function has been added to accommodate use
cases where one texture is applied to both a pixel surface and an alpha
channel.
