Do not use slabs for allocations above 64KB, this seems to lead to memory
corruptions and the error described in issue #1613 under certain circumstances.
fixes#1613
Add a test where a locked pointer shall be taken during object destruction.
Moreover, extend the run-script so it runs on different platforms with
"real" timers.
SDL uses the Audio_out session in streaming fashion. For this reason
the audio might be played with delay of at most the queue size. To
mitigate the effect we synchronize the tail pointer to the current play
pointer when the PlayAudio() function is called by SDL for the first
time.
Fixes#1612.
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.
This patch adds two new painters located at gems/include/polygon_gfx.
Both painters draw convex polygons with an arbirary number of points.
The shaded-polygon painter interpolates the color and alpha values
whereas the textured-polygon painter applies a texture to the polygon.
The painters are accompanied by simplistic 3D routines located at
gems/include/nano3d/ and a corresponding example (gems/run/nano3d.run).
This patch changes the way how CLI monitor obtains its subsystem
configurations. Originally, this information was provided via the
Genode::config mechanism. But for managing complex scenarios, the config
node becomes very complex. Hence, it is preferrable to have a distinct
file for each subsystem configuration.
The CLI monitor scans the directory '/subsystems' for files ending with
".subsystem". Each file has the same syntax as the formerly used
subsystem nodes.
Instead of using the Genode user-level signal API to signal page-faults to
a page-fault handler, use the kernel API directly. Thereby the accounting
of signal contexts needed for each paging subject can be done easily.
Fix#956
Moreover, be strict when calculating the page-table requirements of
core, which is architecture specific, and declare the virtual memory
requirements of core architecture-wise.
Ref #1588
We set 'ld -z max-page-size' to 4KiB to prevent the linker from aligning
the text segment to any built-in default (e.g., 4MiB on x86_64 or 64KiB
on ARM). Otherwise, the padding bytes are wasted at the beginning of the
final binary.
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
The ~Irq_session_component relied on the IRQ number obtained by the
corresponding kernel IRQ object to mark the IRQ as free at the IRQ
allocator. However, since the kernel IRQ object is initialized not
before the 'sigh' function is called, the IRQ of sessions that
never called 'sigh' could not be freed correctly. This patch fixes
the problem by not relying on the kernel IRQ object for obtaining
the number in the destructor but using the '_irq_number' member
variable instead.
Use printf format specifier with correct size to log error code which is
if type uint32_t. Also print the error code in hex since this simplifies
lookup as the error values are also defined as hexadecimal values, see
[1].

Instead of organizing page tables within slab blocks and allocating such
blocks dynamically on demand, replace the page table allocator with a
simple, static alternative. The new page table allocator is dimensioned
at compile-time. When a PD runs out of page-tables, we simply flush its
current mappings, and re-use the freed tables. The only exception is
core/kernel that should not produce any page faults. Thereby it has to
be ensured that core has enough page tables to populate it's virtual
memory.
A positive side-effect of this static approach is that the accounting
of memory used for page-tables is now possible again. In the dynamic case
there was no protocol existent that solved the problem of donating memory
to core during a page fault.
Fix#1588
Unregister callbacks, so rx packets will not be propated to the deleteted
'Driver' object. Initialize ipxe once in the 'Main' object, thus allowing new
session connections.
Fixes#1595
With the server framework this becomes unnecessary. Also when the 'platform_drv'
has a lower priority, signaling will cause a constant load that starves the
'platform_drv'.
Fixes#1594
The recent change of the TRACE session interface triggered the
following warning:
/home/no/src/genode/repos/base/include/base/ipc.h:79:4: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
*reinterpret_cast<T *>(&_sndbuf[_write_offset]) = value;
^
In file included from /home/no/src/genode/repos/base/src/core/include/trace/session_component.h:19:0,

/home/no/src/genode/repos/base/include/base/rpc_server.h:132:42: note: ‘ret’ was declared here
typename This_rpc_function::Ret_type ret;
The warning occurs for basic return types (like size_t), which are
indeed not initialized. The variable gets its value assigned by the
corresponding 'call_member' overload, to which the variable is passed as
reference. But the compiler apparently is not able to detect this assignment.
Declaring 'ret' with a C++11-style default initializer fixes the warning.
While importing trace sources as trace subjects into a TRACE session,
the session quota might become depleted. The TRACE session already keeps
track of the session quota via an allocator guard but the 'subjects' RPC
function missed to handle the out-of-memory condition. This patch
reflects the error condition as an 'Out_of_metadata' exception to the
TRACE client. It also contains an extension of the trace test to
exercise the corner case.
This patch enable clients of core's TRACE service to obtain the
execution times of trace subjects (i.e., threads). The execution time is
delivered as part of the 'Subject_info' structure.
Right now, the feature is available solely on NOVA. On all other base
platforms, the returned execution times are 0.
Issue #813
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.
When replacing a report with a smaller one, the corresponding ROM
dataspace should not contain any traces of the old report. Otherwise,
the consumer of the ROM dataspace may mistake the stale content as
meaningful information. This is particularly annoying when manually
inspecting reports. This patch overwrites the stale content with zeros.
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.
The result of the second run (TCP_MAERTS) gets extracted wrongly - due to the
change introduced by commit "run: always append to output buffer"
(Issue #1327). The output buffer is no longer reseted between several
run_genode_until invocation within a run script.
On ARM, the compiler generates calls to memcpy and memset. Most
dynamically linked programs use the libc, which provides these
functions. However, if a dynamically linked program does not use the
libc (e.g., noux/minimal or the new version of cli_monitor), those
symbols remain unresolved. By adding them to ldso's symbol.map, the
dynamic linker will resolve them with the functions of the cxx
library, which is part of the dynamic linker.
Issue #1561
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
With this patch, the VESA driver reports the framebuffer width to the
client instead of the visible width This fixes possible distortion
if these widths differ, at the cost that content in the right-most area
might be invisible in such cases.
Issue #1264.
Add a Platform::setup_irq_mode function which enables the IRQ session to
update the trigger mode and polarity of the associated IRQ according to
the session parameters. On ARM this function is a nop.
This change enables the x86_64 platform to support devices which use
arbitrary trigger modes and polarity settings, e.g. AHCI on QEMU and
real hardware.
Fixes#1528.
Because of helping, it is possible that a core thread that wants to
destroy another thread at the kernel is using the scheduling context of
the thread that shall be destroyed at this point in time. When building
without GENODE_RELEASE defined, this always triggers an assertion in the
kernel. But when building with GENODE_RELEASE defined, this might silently
lead to kernel-memory corruption. This commit eliminates the latter case.
Should be reverted as soon as the scheduler is able to remove its head.
Ref #1537
Placement new can be misleading, as we already overload the new operator
to construct objects via pointers to allocators. To prohibit any problems here,
and to use one consistent approach, we can explicitely construct the object
with the already available 'construct_at' template function.

For several basic sessions that core provides default ram quota values
exist in the form of enum values. They are used e.g. by init to deduce
session costs. Unfortunately they were not used when actually establishing
the session, which lead to inconsistencies.
Ref #1443
This patch installs the parent endpoint selector and the PD's CNode into
a PD at its creation time. Furthermore, it initializes the IPC buffer
for the main thread of the new component.
This allows us to see debug messages printed at the eary initialization
of init (before init is able to obtain the regular LOG session). This
will be reverted as soon as the initialziation of the non-core base
environment works.
To build core and other Genode components, we will need to extend the
base-common.mk library with additions that conflict with the
minimalistic root-task environment of test/sel4. To preserve the
minimalistic root task, we need to decouple it from the base-common
library.
We implicitly know that the value range will not exceed access_t despite
the integer-based arithmetics, i.e., negation and shift operations.
Fixes#1524
