This commit streamlines the interaction between the Wifi::Manager
and the wpa_supplicant's CTRL interface.
As user-facing changes it alters some default settings and introduces
new features:
* Every configured network now needs to explicitly have its
'auto_connect' (to be considered an option for joining) attribute
set to 'true' whereas this was previously the default value if the
attribute was not set at all.
* The 'log_level' attribute is added and configures the supplicant's
verbosity. Valid values correspond to levels used by the supplicant
and are as follows 'excessive', 'msgdump', 'debug', 'info', 'warning'
and 'error'. The default value is 'error' and configures the least
amount of verbosity.
* The 'bgscan' attribute may be used to configure the way the
supplicant performs background-scanning to steer or rather optimize
roaming decision within the same network. The default value is set
to 'simple:30:-70:600'. It can be disabled by specifying an empty
value, e.g. 'bgscan=""'.
* The 'verbose_state' attribute was removed alltogether and similar
functionality is now coverted by 'verbose' attribute.
Implementation-wise the internals changed significantly and are
outlined in the following paragraphs.
Formerly the interaction between the manager and the supplicant
was handled in an apparent way where the internal state of each
interaction was in plain sight. This made the flow cumbersome to
follow and therefor each interaction is now confined to its own
'Action' object that encapsulates the ping-pong of commands and
responses between the manager and the supplicant. All actions are
processed in an sequential way and thus there is no longer any
need to defer pending actions depending on the interal state of
the current interaction. Configuration changes as well as events
issued by the supplicant where new actions can be created are
handled in this fashion. Of note are both signal-handlers,
'_handle_cmds' and '_handle_events' respectively.
The state report, which provides the information about the current
state of connectivity to a given wireless network, was dealt with
in the same vein and its handling was spread across the manager
implementation. Again, to make it easier to follow, the generation
of the state report is now purely driven by the 'Join_state' object.
This object encapsulates the state of connectivity and is normally
updated by events issued from the supplicant (see '_handle_events').
It is also incorporated when handling command responses (see
'_handle_cmds').
Handling of timed-actions, like scan and signal quality
update requests, was done by setting a timeout at the Timer session
directly and thus only one timed-action could be pending at any time.
This excluded dealing with timed-actions like connected-scanning
and signal quality polling concurrently. This was changed and now
a One_shot_timeout is used to programm each concurrent timed-action.
For implementing the communication channel for the CTRL interface the
manager and supplicant use a shared memory buffer, the Msg_buffer.
Since the CTRL interface for Genode was implemented using C, some
shenanigans were performed to access the memory buffer. Now the
CTRL interface implementation uses C++ and only exports the functions
required by the supplicant as C. This simplifies the usage of the
Msg_buffer and allows for removing the global functions needed for
synchronizing the Msg_buffer access as those are now part of the
object itself via the 'Notify_interface'.
Fixes#5341.
The 'convert_errno_from_linux' function was already used internally to
convert the Linux errno values to the matching FreeBSD libc ones when
calling socket functions.
It will now also be used to convert the error values included in
netlink messages as those, naturally, also correspond to the Linux
ones.
Issue #5341.
Now, we schedule before unblocking the rx_task. This is done in order to
execute a potentially ready ksoftirqd before unblocking the rx_task,
which in turn may execute soft-interrupt handlers through bottom half
code leading to double lock attempts of the socket spinlock.
Issue #5264
The commit that added firmware loading via the VFS (see #4861)
introduces a double-free bug where the memory that contains the
image is freed twice, once from the callback and once from the
work function.
As alle examined drivers call 'release_firmware' from the callback
function themselves, remove the erroneous 'kfree' call from the
work function.
Issue #5264.
This commit introduces support for querying and updating the signal
quality of the established connection to the current accesspoint.
By setting the 'update_quality_interval' to a non-zero value specified
in seconds the 'state' report will be updated to incorporate the
current signal quality. It uses the same approximation as is already
in use by the scan results.
Fixes#5262.
This commit adds the firmware image for the AX200 device as found
in the Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen1, the 9560 as found in the Starlite and
the for devices found in the T430/T530.
Fixes#5282.
Unmasking of a pending interrupt did not lead to immediate IRQ handler
execution in all cases.
This commit also addresses some style concerns risen during the issue
discussion.
- Replace multi-boolean IRQ state by state enum
- EOI and ACK should be same in DDE context
- Unify x86 and ARM irqchip.c
- Remove Pending_irq type
- Remove dde_irq_set_wake()
Fixes#5164
The use of the Linux-internal SLUB allocator is supported by lx_emul and
drivers may now decide between the Linux implementation or our emulation
of kmem_cache. Drivers for pc and virt already use SLUB, while other
drivers still use the emulation and may be adapted step-by-step incl.
the testing on the devices.
Fixes#5236
The Fn key on keyboards should never be reported as real scancode event,
as it is just a hardware switch that changes the reported scancodes of
other keys. The behavior of Linux hid-apple.c is wrong as it on one hand
reports different scancodes for the same hard key depending on the Fn
state but sends the Fn press and release events too. Thus from now on,
we just drop KEY_FN events for all drivers as otherwise, scancodes
generated generated by Fn+key combinations would never be single-key
events on upper layers, for example KEY_FN + KEY_F12 on the Matias Apple
keyboard clone in the fixed issue.
Fixes#5288
With libxml2 >= 2.13, the `-path` argument can no longer be used for
setting search paths for xsd files. Instead, we use an XML catalog to
replace genode:// URIs with absolute paths.
Fixes#5248
So far, this test used dynamic_rom for the re-configuration of the nic router
and tested for the expected ping results by inspecting the log with the run
tool. However, this approach had two issues:
* Timing differs significantly on different targets and so the dynamic_rom had
the difficult task of compensating with heuristics without bloating the test
duration too much.
* In case of a failing test, it was difficult to determine the cause as the
test kept running and produced output for quite some time and there was also
no specific error message but only a generic timeout.
These two issues are now fixed by introducing a test component that listens to
the ping-result report and manages the nic router configuration. The new
component exits early on failure and provides information on the error
circumstances. Furthermore, the component advances to the next test step only
after having seen the expected result of the active test step and thereby
removes the need for heuristics about target timing.

- Move C++ sources from lib/wireguard to app/wireguard, which require
Genode include paths (that conflict with linux)
- Rename lib/wireguard_lx_inc_dirs to lib/wireguard, which builds linux
sources with linux include paths
This commit adds a weak dummy implementation to a compilation unit
that is referenced by all DDE Linux based driver components to
prevent adding a dummy to every driver.
The upstream implementation is used to allocate order-0 pages in
a batch and users, e.g. page-pool allocator, may rely on that
behaviour and thus it is implemented with this commit.
This commit remedies the somewhat lazy attempt to address unique names
for drivers where the name is directly derived from KBUILD_MODNAME,
e.g. rtlwifi, and also modifies the name accordingly to the rules
of Linux' build-system. The last part becomes necessary as driver
matching tables may rely on that as has already happend with the
ti-sn65dsi86 driver.
At least on x86_64/x86_64/pc/hw|nova, the test used to fail because the net
setup sometimes required more than the 3 seconds that the test was giving each
step. This commit raises the step timeout to 5 seconds and the test timeout
from 70 to 90 seconds in order to be on the safe side.

This commits updates the contrib sources to version 8.7.1.
This version requires more random entropy as it queries OpenSSL
about the current random state and will bail if it is not sufficient.
Doubling the content of the '<inline>' VFS plugin as used in static
configurations seems satisfactory.
Furthermore DNS resolving needs a configured '<pipe>' plugin to work
properly.
Fixes#5184.
Commit 'wifi_drv: re-arm scan timer when enabled again' allowed for
re-arming the scan timer but still uses the old timer value the first
time around. If the timer was disabled, by setting the interval to 0,
it was not enabled again.
We now check if the interval has changed beforehand and potentially
arm the scan timer afterwards.
Fixes#5178.
Because all operations in lxip are non-blocking, return
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK for data writes as done by read.
Note: This was not the case in the old plugin because 'write' was blocking
operation there.
issue #5165
Rarely. it might happen that events got received shortly before the complete
set of relevant USB devices got recognized. Filter more output in test metric
to stay robust.
