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
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].
Fixes#1600
[1] - repos/ports/src/virtualbox/include/xpcom/nsError.h
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.
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
Currently, libc_noux includes the 'base/src/base/env/platform_env.h' file
to be able to reinitialize the environment using the 'Platform_env'
interface. For base-linux, a special version of this file exists and the
inclusion of the generic version in libc_noux causes GCC 4.9 to make wrong
assumptions about the memory layout of the 'Env' object returned by
'Genode::env()'.
This commit moves the reinitialization functions to the 'Env' interface to
avoid the need to include the 'platform_env.h' file in libc_noux.
Fixes#1510
The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named
'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device
report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506).
A policy for 'report_rom' would look like:
<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>
If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets
printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support.
The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in
the '.vbox' file. Example:
<USB>
<DeviceFilters>
<DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9"
productId="2220" remote="0"/>
</DeviceFilters>
</USB>
The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed
scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work
with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack).
It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the
devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through
a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.
Fixes#1507
On our test machine the xhci controller has a usb3.0 network adapter attached
and the xhci controller is the only usb controller which has MSI support,
so let us use and test it.
Issue #1216
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
This commit enables the VirtualBox graphics adapter, provides guest mouse
pointer integration with Nitpicker using the 'vbox_pointer' application
and enhances the VirtualBox run scripts with the configuration of
Nitpicker, input merger and network driver.
Fixes#1474
VirtualBox can receive absolute or relative mouse motion events from the
'Input' service and the VM can support either or both of them. With this
patch, more of the possible combinations are handled.
Fixes#1470
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
The 'continue_hw_accelerated' assertion at the end of the recall handler
can fail in situations which are not problematic, for example if the
'Timer' thread has set the 'VMCPU_FF_TIMER' flag in the meantime and
requested a recall afterwards. Since we don't know for sure if a recall is
requested for the other flags as well, the assertion gets replaced by a
debug message, which gets printed if any of the 'not yet verified as safe'
flags is set.
Fixes#1426
Some functions in the time manager, for example 'TMTimerSet()' and
'TMTimerStop()' let VirtualBox abort with a failed assertion if the timer
does not change to a 'stable' state after 1000 calls of a mixture of
'yield' and 'sleep'. On Genode, this happens sometimes when the 'EMT'
thread is executing 'TMTimerSet()' and gets interrupted by the 'TAP'
thread, which calls 'TMTimerStop()' and waits for the 'EMT' thread to
finish setting the timer. Since the 'EMT' thread has the lowest priority,
1000 retries can be too few. Without the assertion, these functions would
return an error code, which is often ignored by the caller, so it seems
safer to keep retrying until the function can return successfully.
Fixes#1437
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,
some scripts still try to use it because only frequently used scripts were
updated by now. The commit replaces the function calls with the new
'have_include power_on/qemu' check.
Ref #1419
Up to now Noux used the libc sleep functions, which actually is not
possible because the _nanosleep() function implemented by our libc
creates a new thread to handle the timeout. Noux childs may have
only one thread, e.g., the main thread, though. To fix this issue
sleeping is now handled directly by Noux. It is implemented by calling
select(2) with a timeout. This fix is needed for mutt(1), which calls
sleep when it prints a notification for the user.
Fixes#1374.
Instead of returning an uint64_t value, return a structured time stamp.
This change is only visible to components using Rtc_session directly.
Fixes#1381.
Be less verbose regards warnings caused by vmx_invalid exits - which triggers
on T400 more often because it has no Unrestricted Guest support. This leads
to lot of log messages so that the test does not succeed in time. Additionally,
the virtualbox_auto_disk.run script is adjusted to check for some output to
exit earlier if something went wrong.
Fixes#1367
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.
! <start name="test">
! <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>
This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test". Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.
The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.
Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.
This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.
fix#1275
When the 'Mtd::FPU' flag is set during the registration of a
virtualization event handler, it must also be set whenever the event
handler returns.
Fixes#1283
This is just a quick fix to calm down the buildbot - a revised
implementation is needed according to issue #1277. Further, the reason
for the increased test duration on several platforms must be
investigated.
