Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.
issue #4027
This commit improves the performance of the pipe plugin by using local
signal handling and avoiding sending a signal during write when pipe
buffer is full.
Issue #3583
* Add new virtio device model
* Extend test run-script with vfat block test image
* Add vmm depot src recipe
* Use packages in test run-script
Fix#4025
* Introduce different index types for ring counters and descriptor arrays
within the Virtio split queue implementation
* Be more accurate in reporting the queue number supported, and raise it
to 512
* Introduce abstractions for mmio register access, where several values
are stored at the same place, and selector registers exist.
* Turn Virtio_device into a template to define the Virio queue type,
and its numbers per device model (needed for e.g., future block model)
Issue #4025
All pipe-ends were notified at the same time which leads to dead-locks.
This commit mitigates this by having a signal handler for each pipe and
each pipe-end respectively.
Issue #3583
The vfs pipe plugin can now be used as named pipe which anables data
transfer via file handles from one component to another. E.g. if one
would like to send data from component A to stdin of a libc component B,
one can do so by simply writing to that fifo file.
Issue #3583
With this commit libcrypto does not use ARM NEON extension as long as
SPECS includes "neon". arm_v7a does declare "neon" per default while
arm_v8a does.
Issue #3773
Note, OpenSSL now comes as one combined depot archive *openssl* that
replaces the former *libssl* and *libcrypto* archives. The libraries are
still separate binaries for compatibility with legacy software.
Issue #3773
It seems that with the nigthly autopilot the data port (that is choosen by the
client) may stay some time (minutes) allocated after the a test run. This
causes successive tests to fail when trying to reuse the port.
* Use a unique data port for each target platform in the range of 18000-18099.
* Add documentation on how to prepare for running the test on a Linux target.
* Remove Qemu-specific code paths as Qemu isn't supported anymore by the script
since the introduction of the Uplink session (running with a NIC router on
Qemu was never supported and now we always need a NIC router).
Ref #3961
This patch simplifies the packaging of the base-hw kernel for a given
board, in particular when the board support is hosted as an external
repository such as genode-world. Regardless of where the board-support
is hosted, the content.mk file becomes as simple as:
include $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/base-hw/recipes/src/base-hw_content.inc
The board name is automatically inferred from the path of the src
recipe. The architecture is determined from board/<name>/arch files,
following the pattern of the image_link_address. The attempt to build a
base-hw-<board> binary archive for the wrong architecture is now
gracefully handled by skipping all targets (using the REQUIRES
mechanism).
Besides the improved convenience, the patch results in depot archives
that are much closer tailored to the actual board by omitting files for
architectures that are not used by the board. E.g., the src/base-hw-pc
archive does not contain any ARM-related content.
The patch also restores the package builds for core/bootstrap object
files as a follow-up fix of "base: remove SPEC variables of boards",
which happened to left 'BOARD' undefined in the src archives.
Fixes#4019
Be more in line with the original host implementation in Qemu and
buffer transfers. Having transfers in-flight helps to smoothen playback
in case other components utilize the CPU.
Issue #4018.
Linux as well as Windows guests want queue to a varying number of
transfers, where each transfer only covers one transaction (iso frame).
The best results were obtained by following that behaviour rather
than queuing multiple iso frames per requests (like is done with OUT
transfers).
The number of requests queued is increased to 32 while the number of
packets per reques is decreased to 1.
Issue #4018.
The contrib code is updated from 2.4.1 to version 5.2.0 and the used
device-model is changed to QEMU xHCI. Due to this change older guests
OSes, namely Windows 7, that relied on the NEC xHCI device-model will
not work anymore.
The 'Qemu::Controller' interface was extended by an 'info' method, which
returns the vendor and product ID. This allows for removing the
hard-coded values in the VirtualBox glue code.
Issue #4018.
* Update the 'packet_size' information with the actual length for
each isoc frame to be able to handle short reads at the client side.
* Copy the whole transfer buffer because the host controller stores
the data at the original offsets, i.e., the buffer is not densely
packed.
Fixes#4018.
The former implemention assumed that the guest physical memory is
mapped continously. This, however, is not true. Writing larger
files to an USB stick with a Windows 10 guest would therefore lead
to data corruption.
The current implementation uses a bounce buffer to copy the data
to and from the guest physical memory and leaves dealing with the
memory mappings entirely up to the VMM.
Fixes#4017.
When the usb_net_drv was introduced in ports/run/netperf.inc, the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc triggered the calling of the
netif_stop_queue dummy at
contrib/<DDE_LINUX>/src/drivers/usb_net/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1464. As
netif_start_queue was also a dummy and allowed to be called, we tried allowing
calls to the netif_stop_queue dummy as well which fixed the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc.
Ref #3961
The 'environ' pointer is a global variable that must be considered as
part of the application state. It must be copied from the parent to the
child process during fork. Otherwise, a child returning from fork is
unable to access environment variables before invoking execve. The
actual environment variables and their values are already captured
because they reside at the application heap, which is cloned from the
parent. So the copied 'environ' pointer refers to valid data.
Fixes#4015
- remove Spike/BBL support in favour of Qemu (>=4.2.1)
- add 'riscv_qemu' board, remove 'spike' board'
- update to privileged ISA v1.10 (from v1.9.1)
- use direct system calls for privileged core threads (they call into
the kernel and don't use mode changing system calls, i.e. 'ecall',
semantics)
- use 'OpenSBI' semtantics for SBI calls (to machine mode) instead of
BBL
issue #4012
By first removing unused ranges, implicitly meta data allocations are freed
up. This leads to more unused slab blocks and freed up meta data allocations
in the avl tree.
