The addition of further keyboard layouts would otherwise pollute the
config/ directory too much.
Caution: When updating Sculpt OS, don't reuse your existing
config/event_filter file unmodified! You need to replace the chargen
includes, pointing to the new location, e.g.,
<include rom="en_us.chargen"/>
<include rom="special.chargen"/>
must be changed to
<include rom="keyboard/en_us"/>
<include rom="keyboard/special"/>
Issue #4055
This patch extends the settings dialog with the ability to select the
keyboard layout between the options that are included in the sculpt
image. The manual configuration is of course still possible by editing
the /config/event_filter directly.
If both the fonts configuration and the event-filter configuration are
managed manually, the settings button and window are not displayed.
Fixes#4055
By sorting the reported output, all consumers of the reports become able
to rely on a deterministic order. For example, the file browser of
Sculpt OS, the launcher menu items, and the depot-selection items will
appear in a predictable order.
Fixes#4054
This patch adds session-routing options to connect components to the
capture/event interfaces of the global nitpicker GUI server or the
leitzentrale GUI server. It thereby enables the implementation of screen
capturing components, remote management tools, or virtual keyboards.
Since those services are very powerful, they are subsumed under the
"hardware" category of the component graph as opposed to the GUI
category, which guarantees the separation of clients.
Fixes#4053
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
issue #4042
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.

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 #3837
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.

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.

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.

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.

The deadlock reported in #3236 could be reproduced via the wm.run script

This patch simplifies the use of ccache with the build system. Up until
now, each developer had to set up the ccache hooks manually, adjust the

With the patch, ccache can be enabled by un-commenting a single line in
the etc/build.conf file.

The Usb session allows for submitting packets even when the interface
in question is not yet enabled. Enabling an interface will configure
the udev members properly and is normally done implicitly during
processing of an 'ALT_SETTING' packet.
In case the interface was not enabled this leads to a page-fault in
the USB host-controller driver as 'ep' is NULL.
Fixes#3999.
This patch moves the bootstrap-link-address information from the

repository.

The _crt0_start_stack label points to a memory location containing the
size of the bootstrap stack. On AArch64 this should be an 8 byte value,
but the code only only defines half of those using asm .long statement.
The other half is expected to be 0, which is true when using GNU as.
This is not the case when using clang's integrated as however. Since
_crt0_stack_size is defined inside .text section clang uses 0xd503201f
value (aarch64 nop instruction) to fill the extra 4 bytes.
Fix this minor incompatibility by explicitly defining both halfs of
this 8 byte quantity.
