The utilities in os/session_policy.h used to be tailored for the
matching of session arguments against a server-side policy
configuration. However, the policy-matching part is useful in other
situations, too. This patch removes the tight coupling with the
session-argument parsing (via Arg_string) and the hard-wired use of
'Genode::config()'.
To make the utilities more versatile, the 'Session_label' has become a
'Genode::String' (at the time when we originally introduced the
'Session_label', there was no 'Genode::String'). The parsing of the
session arguments happens in the constructor of this special 'String'.
The constructor of 'Session_policy' now takes a 'Genode::String' as
argument. So it can be used with the 'Session_label' but also with other
'String' types. Furthermore, the implicit use of 'Genode::config()' can
be overridden by explicitly specifying the config node as an argument.
Defer destruction of threads which tries to self-destruct. Check an perform
cleanup of such threads during pthread_cancel and pthread_create.
Issue #1687
Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly
kill subsystems but both used to ignore gracefully exiting subsystems.
It was the user's job to remove the remains of those subsystems. The
patch takes the burden of manually killing exited subsystems from the
user.
Fixes#1685
Instead of white-listing floppy controllers, certain SCSI controllers
as well as ISAPnP etc. pp. remove the diagnostics and print each access
if verbose is set.
Fixes#1726.
Instead of using the alarm_timer thread we use our own timer thread
that uses a kernel semaphore on Nova. On all other platforms a timer
connection and trigger_once is used.
Fixes#1727.
Addressing must be PC-relative, so adapt the approach from the other
nova_x86_32 syscall bindings (description by @ssumpf):
Use call to push the current IP on the stack and add the distance of
label 0 and label 1 in order to determine the return address, which
NOVA requires in edx.
The bug only showed up with "-O0" in libc.lib.so in form of a unwanted
text relocation.
Fixes#1721
platform_execute() is used to initially switch the stack of a
routine/task. While Thread_base::alloc_secondary_stack() properly aligns
the returned stack pointer the x86_64 assembler implementation did not
comply to stack frame management specified in the ABI.
The used (and most simple) stack-alignment check may pass a float to a
varargs function on x86, which requires the compiler to properly save
some XMM registers on stack.
Dataspace components inherit from RPC objects which are non-copyable from now
on. Therefore, the Rom_session_component's constructor had to be modified
to not construct a dataspace component on the stack and assign it in the
following.
Ref #1704
Holding the object pool's lock while trying to obtain an object's lock
can leave to dead-lock situations, when more than one thread tries to
access multiple objects at once (e.g.: when transfer_quota gets called
simultanously by the init and entrypoint thread in core). To circumvent
holding the object pool lock too long, but access object pointers safely
on the other hand, this commit updates the object pool implementation
to use weak pointers during the object retrieval.
Fix#1704
Destroying an object within the scope of a lambda/functor executed
in the object pool's apply function leads potentially to memory corruption.
Within the scope the corresponding object is locked and unlocked when
leaving the scope. Therefore, it is illegal to free the object's memory meanwhile.
This commit eliminates several places in core that destroyed wrongly in
the object pool's scope.
Fix#1713
If a client provides a read buffer of insufficient size for all
available data, we have two options
1) Leave it to the client to do partial reads until not further data is
available, or
2) Signal the client that there still some bytes on a partial read.
As the second option seems more robust it's implemented in this commit.
Fixes#1705
This makes use of the iPXE sanboot command [1] which downloads and
boots an ISO image directly via HTTP. Therefore, your RUN_OPT needs
both
--include image/iso and
--include load/ipxe
NOTE: The webserver serving the ISO image must support ranged requests,
see [2].

iPXE is an open source network boot firmware which supports booting from
a web server via HTTP [1].
The following two parameters can be used to specify the iPXE/HTTP setup:
--load-ipxe-base-dir
This parameter specifies the base directory of the HTTP server from
which the target machine downloads the files.
--load-ipxe-boot-dir
The directory relative to iPXE base dir which contains the iPXE
chainload configuration and all necessary files.
The target machine is expected to request the following iPXE
configuration via HTTP:
http://${HOST_URL}/${ipxe-boot-dir}/boot.cfg
This can be achieved by building iPXE with the following embedded
script:
#!ipxe
dhcp
chain http://${HOST_URL}/${ipxe-boot-dir}/boot.cfg

* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
Fix#1697
The commit consumes the argument of a unsupported printf command.
Without the commit - a subsequent command uses the argument of the preceding
command, which may cause memory corruption or page faults for sequences using
string commands, e.g.
Genode::printf("%#x %s\n", 0x20, "Test");
'#' is not supported by Genode::printf. In this scenario a pagefault at
address 0x20 is caused.
Fixes#1701
The 'O_NONBLOCK' flag has different numerical values in lwip and in the
libc, which prevented the correct setting of nonblocking socket mode.
Fixes#1699
The intention of Packet_ref was to allow clients to place opaque
references into the packet descriptor itself, which could be observed on
packet completion. Currently no component in our sources uses this
feature and beyond that it is questionable if it should be used at all:
If the server tampers with the ref the client may easily be confused
into observing an incorrect or invalid context. It seems better to
remove the opaque context from the descriptor and leave the actual
implementation to the client and its needs.
Unfortunately, the 'gcc -dumpmachine' magic does not suffice on all
Linux distros, so we just add the well-known paths for i386-linux-gnu
and x86_64-linux-gnu.
Fixes#1694
