This patch adds 4 priority levels to the runtime subsystem. The highest
priority is used for components that are critical for the operation of
Sculpt, in particular the Leitzentrale GUI. All regularly deployed
components are assigned the lowest priority by default.
With priorities available in the runtime subsystem, this patch flattens
the priority levels at the top-level init to only two levels and
overlays the priority bands of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime
subsystems into one priority band. This has three benenfits:
- This change prevents the starvation of the Leitzentrale GUI from a
spinning high-priority driver (issue #3997).
- The change will also ease the hosting of latency-critical components
in the runtime subsystem that are prioritized higher than regular
components, the storage stack, and the network stack.
- The Leitzentrale GUI remains always perfectly responsive regardless
of the workloads deployed from packages. In the previous version,
the runtime graph was sometimes stuttering on high system load.
Issue #4045
This patch avoids the repeated warning "read blocked until lwIP
interface is ready" by printing the message only once. Otherwise,
the log is flooded with those warnings when falkon web browser
is started on Sculpt OS without network connectivity.
In case there is no valid configuration the component used to mute
output by default. This, however, might lead to the assumption that
audio is not working at all. Instead set the master output volume to
50% and the per application volume to 100%.
Fixes#4043.
This patch adds the missing destruction of session-state objects of
local services when closing a session. Because of the missing
destruction, those session-state object remained part of the server
ID space. This becomes a problem once the backing store of the session
state object vanishes, that is when the client child gets removed from
the sandbox. Hence, the removal of a child with an open session to a
local service would lead to the corruption of the server ID space.
This patch adds the missing session.destroy() call.
Fixes#4044
This patch fixes a corner case where a child is destructed while a
asynchronous close request to a sibling server is still pending.
The child immediately discarded the session ID as the end of the
close-session processing, assuming that this ID is never to be needed
again. The session-state continues to exist to handle asynchrous close
protocol with the server.
However, if the child is destructed at this point (before the server
responded to the session request), the destruction of the child would
not cover the discharging of the session state because the session state
was no longer be part of the client's ID space. So once the asynchronous
close response from the server came in, the session state contained
stale information, in particular a stale closed_callback pointer.
The patch fixes the problem by deferring the discarding of the client ID
to the point where the session state is actually destructed. So the
session of a pending close response is covered by the child destructor.
Thanks to Pirmin Duss for reporting this issue along with a test
scenario for reproducing it!
Fixes#4039
- Enable the "platform-level interrupt controller" PLIC on base-hw
- The RISC-V specification offers only a register description, but no
layout for the register set. This implies the layout is platform
dependent, and therefore, implemented separately for Qemu

- build debug version of core and bootstrap found under
_var/run/<runscript>.core_ (.bootstrap). This is a regression when
switching from object to archive library linkage of core.

With this patch, the build directory's CCACHE configuration is applied
to the building of depot archives when using the --depot-auto-update
feature.
Note that this is effective only when resetting the hash files before
building so that each depot-auto-update results in the same-named
versions. Otherwise, the include paths (that include the version name as
part of the path) make cache hits impossible.
Issue #4004
This commit complements issue #4004 with support for the depot/create
tool. If CCACHE=1 is specified at the command line, the build directory
for building a binary archive is configured with 'CCACHE := yes'.
This patch triggers the immediate removal of part_block once the
discovery of a fresh inserted USB stick has completed. Without the
patch, part_block was retained until the runtime was reconfigured the
next time for other reasons (e.g., toggling an inspect view). Until the
next reconfituration, part_block tended to stand in the way of directly
assigning the USB device to a VM.
This patch increases the RAM quota of the nitpicker instance for the
leitzentrale to make it suffice for the buffering of content during
resize operations. This fixes a flickering artifact when having an
inspect view open while entering a WLAN passphrase. When the connect
button appears or disappears (depending on the number of written
characters), some parts of the inspect terminal would flicker sometimes.
* catch every possible path of the Bit_allocator_dynamic::Out_of_indices
exception
* add unconditional log output in the new "catch" directives, so, we will be
able to debug the problem a bit more in detail next time
Fixes#4036
This way, the redirected env sessions for the CPU burner are no longer
called directly by init. Init stays independent from the behavior of the
CPU balancer.

Issue #4029
This shim component can be used in case where env sessions of child
(i.e., child's PD session) must be routed to another child of init.
Without the shim, init would directly need to interact with these
sessions and would thereby make itself dependent of the server's
behavior. RPC calls to a server hosted as a child lead to all kinds of
problems such as livelock situations, and putting the robustness of init
at the whim of its child.
With the shim, init merely needs to bootstrap the shim component by
routing the shim's env sessions to core as usual. The server is only
used for the sessions for the actual application hosted atop the shim.

This patch is an interim fix for using HID devices that offer a HID

This prevents the log terminal from adjusting itself to the whole screen
size before the leitzentrale window layout is applied. This intermediate
