This patch adjusts the interactive scenarios of the gems repository to
use the depot. This has three immediate benefits. First, once the depot
is populated with binary archives, the start time of the scenarios
becomes very quick because most dependency checks and build steps are
side-stepped. Second, the run scripts become more versatile. In
particular, run scripts that were formerly supported on base-linux only
(nit_fader, decorator, menu_view) have become usable on all base
platforms that have a 'drivers_interactive' package defined. Finally,
the run scripts have become much shorter.
Issue #2339
In order to deliver base-hw as a binary archive, we need to install the
bootstap.o file to bin/. Since bin/ is a global name space shared by all
kernels, this patch renames the object file to bootstap-hw.o and thereby
clarifies the association of the file with base-hw.
This patch replaces the set-defaults command by a reset command, which
is needed to use the Lenovo x250 trackpoint. (original patch by
Christian Prochaska)
For asynchronously provided sessions, the parent has to maintain the
session state as long as the server hasn't explicitly responded to a
close request. For this reason, the lifetime of such session states is
bound to the server, not the client.
When the server responds to a close request, the session state gets
freed. The 'session_response' implementation does not immediately
destroy the session state but delegates the destruction to a client-side
callback, which thereby also notifies the client. However, the code did
not consider the case where the client has completely vanished at
session-response time. In this case, we need to drop the session state
immediately.
Fixes#2391
Originally, the spec files for less specific SPEC values were include
via the 'select_from_repositories' function. This implies that BASE_DIR
must always be present in the list of 'REPOSITORIES'. Otherwise the
spec files won't be found. By explicitly including sub specs from
'$(BASE_DIR)/mk', we lift this restriction.
This patch is required to build the OKL4 version of core from a source
archive. It avoids fetching source codes from BASE_DIR, and moves the
vpath wildcard for %.cc after all specific vpath definitins, in
particular those that are x86-specific. Without the latter change, core
would always end up using the generic version of 'platform_services.cc',
omitting the IO_PORT service from core.
The <build-dir>/bin/ directory used to contain symbolic links to the
unstripped build results. However, since the upcoming depot tool
extracts the content of binary archives from bin/, the resulting
archives would contain overly large unstripped binaries, which is
undesired. On the other hand, always stripping the build results is not
a good option either because we rely of symbol information during
debugging.
This patch changes the installation of build results such that a new
'debug/' directory is populated besides the existing 'bin/' directory.
The debug directory contains symbolic links to the unstripped build
results whereas the bin directory contains stripped binaries that are
palatable for packaging (depot tool) and for assembling boot images (run
tool).
By installing the core object to bin/, we follow the same convention as
for regular binaries. This, in turn, enables us to ship core in a
regular binary archive. The patch also adjusts the run tool to pick up
the core object from bin/ for the final linking stage.
When creating a source archive for the USB driver, both the contrib and
Genode-specific source codes are merged into a single directory
structure. In this case, the original way of determining the Linux
source code to scan for #include directives would apply the scanning to
Genode-specific source codes too. This patch tightens the search
criterion such that only Linux source codes are processed.
This macro is implicitly pulled in by libc-setjmp (via the libc's
cdefs.h). However, apparently not all sources include <setjmp.h>.
Unfortunately, for sources that do, this change produces a
double-definition warning. We should fix it by removing the dependency
from the libc's setjmp.
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.
The size of the whole table and table entries were exchanged for PML4,
leading to out-of-bound accesses for addesses >= 2^39. Some constants
were lacking type suffixes causing integer overflows.
Added assertions to catch out-of-bound accesses early on.

If we do the tics-to-us translation with one division and multiplication
over the whole argument, like before, we loose microseconds granularity
although the timer frequency allows for such granularity. Thus, we treat
the most significant half and the least significant half of the tics
value separate. Each half is shifted to the best bit position for the
translation, then translated, and then shifted back.
Ref #2347
The use of 'select_from_repositories' for locating the linker script for
dynamically-linked executables only works if 'BASE_DIR' appears in the
list of 'REPOSITORIES'. This is the case when using the build system in
the traditional way but it is not desired when building binary archives
of individual components.
This patch adjusts the run script in two ways:
It removes the reliance on init's formerly built-in resource-request
handling by increasing the RAM quota for the backdrop instances. Since
commit "init: explicit response to resource requests", init no longer
hands out slack memory automatically.
Second, it makes sure that the backdrop appears under the precise label
"backdrop" at nitpicker by facilitating init's label-rewriting feature.
Without explicitly setting the label to "backdrop", nitpicker observes
the label "backdrop -> backdrop" (the first part comes from init, the
second part comes from the nitpicker-session argument specified by
backdrop itself). However, the client is only considered as default
background if labeled as "backdrop" (see nitpicker's '_create_session')
implementation.
Issue #2352
The base class of Registered must provide a virtual destructor to enable
safe deletion with just a base class pointer. This requirement can be
lifted by using Registered_no_delete in places where the deletion
property is not needed.
Fixes#2331
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
With the current implementation resource requests are not automically
satisfied with slack quota by init. Therefore, this commit adapts RAM
quotas of autopilot scenarios to the actual demands.
An inline attribute mismatch in the gcc-4.9.2 source causes its
compilation to fail on modern gcc versions (verified with gcc 6.3.1,
but probably since gcc 5)

The test used to rely on init's formerly built-in policy of answering
resource requests with slack memory, if available. Since init no longer
responds to resource requests in an autonomous way, we use a dynamically
configured sub-init instance as runtime for the test. This instance, in
turn, is monitored and controlled such that resource requests are
result in quota upgrades. The monitoring component is implemented in
the same test-resource_request program as the test. Both roles are
distinguished by the "role" config attribute.
This is a follow-up to "init: explicit response to resource requests".

Issue #2338
This patch equips init with the ability to act as a server that forwards
session requests to its children. Session requests can be routed
depending of the requested service type and the session label
originating from init's parent.
The feature is configured by one or multiple <service> nodes hosted in
init's <config> node. The routing policy is selected by via the regular
server-side policy-selection mechanism, for example:
<config>
...
<service name="LOG">
<policy label="noux">
<child name="terminal_log" label="important"/>
</policy>
<default-policy> <child name="nitlog"/> </default-policy>
</service>
...
</config>
Each policy node must have a <child> sub node, which denotes name of the
server with the 'name' attribute. The optional 'label' attribute defines
the session label presented to the server, analogous to how the
rewriting of session labels works in session routes. If not specified,
the client-provided label is presented to the server as is.
Fixes#2247
This patch removes the formerly built-in policy of responding to
resource requests with handing out slack quota. Instead, resource
requests have to be answered by an update of the init configuration with
adjusted quota values.
Note that this patch may break run scripts that depend on init's
original policy. Those run scripts may be adjusted by increasing the
quota for the components that use to inflate their RAM usage during
runtime such that the specified quota suffices for the entire lifetime
of the component.
This patch destructs the environment sessions for the binary and the
dynamic linker along with the other environment sessions to avoid a
warning about reverting quota that occurs when attempting to close
these sessions too late.
This patch improves init's dynamic reconfigurability with respect to
adjustments of the RAM quota assigned to the children.
If the RAM quota is decreased, init withdraws as much quota from the
child's RAM session as possible. If the child's RAM session does not
have enough available quota, a resource-yield request is issued to
the child. Cooparative children may respond to such a request by
releasing memory.
If the RAM quota is increased, the child's RAM session is upgraded.
If the configuration exceeds init's available RAM, init re-attempts
the upgrade whenever new slack memory becomes available (e.g., by
disappearing other children).
Since init no longer provides public headers, we have to adjust the
existing users of this headers. The 'init/child_config.h' is used only
by GDB monitor. So the patch moves the header there as an interim fix.
The 'init/child_policy.h' is still used by a few components, so we have
to keep a trimmed-down version of it for now.
This patch enables init to apply changes of any server's <provides>
declarations in a differential way. Servers can in principle be extended
by new services without re-starting them. Of course, changes of the
<provides> declarations may affect clients or would-be clients as this
information is taken into account for the session routing.
This patch addresses the corner cases where an environment session
could not be routed, i.e., if an environment LOG log session is
routed to a non-existing child.
The optional 'version' attribute allows for the forced restart of a
child with an otherwise unmodified start node. The specified value is
also reflected in the state report.
This patch covers the resolution of the ROM route for child binaries
via the generic label-rewriting mechanics. Now, the <binary> node has
become merely sytactic sugar for a route like the following:
<start name="test"/>
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="test">
<parent label="test-binary-name"/> </service>
...
</route>
...
</start>
A change of the binary name has an effect on the child's ROM route to
the binary and thereby implicitly triggers a child restart due to the
existing re-validation of the routing.
This patch extends the constructor of 'Local_connection' with an
optional 'label' argument, which was previously passed implicitly as
part of the 'args' argument. Keeping the label separate from 'args'
enables us to distinguish the client-specified label from a label that
resulted from a server-side label as it is used when rewriting a label
of an environment session (i.e., the binary name) in init's routing
policy. In principle, this patch eliminates the need for init's
explicite handling of the binary name via the '<binary>' node, or
at least allows us to simplity the binary-node handling.
With this check in place, one can safely construct an 'Xml_generator'
even if the report is disabled. This relieves the user of the reporter
from the need to distinguish enabled from disabled reports.
