Commit "vbox: avoid uncaught nic Empty_ack_queue exception" introduced a
performance regression due to packet retransmission because of faulty
GSO segment handling. As fixing the GSO handling is fairly complex, we
disable GSO until a fix was developed.
Issue #4820

This patch mitigates potential busy feedback effects when evaluating the
reports produced by 'depot_deploy' in a closed control loop. Reports
are now generated only if the deployment state has changed.
Issue #4818
This patch marks a child as incomplete if one of the ROM modules listed
in its blueprint is missing. This, in turn, triggers the update system
in Sculpt, which then tries to download the missing pieces.
Issue #4818
By managing downloads issued by the deploy subsystem via the
'Download_queue', failed downloads (e.g., due to HTTP error 404) are
properly tracked and don't cause infinite re-attempts.
Issue #4818
This patch promotes the event of an exiting child to become immediately
reported, reducing delays for management components that watch the exit
status of children.
Fixes#4814
This patch replaces the former 'nic_drv' and 'nic_drv_dtb' functions
by a more general 'nic_driver_routes' function that can return one or
multiple platform-specific ROM routes for NIC-driver binaries and dtb
files. This allows for supplying customizations for the wifi driver
as well. E.g., on the PinePhone, this hook can be used to handle the
renaming of the 'wifi_drv' to 'a64_wifi_drv'.
Related to issue #4813 and issue genodelabs/genode-allwinner#17.
The wifi VFS plugin is solely there to provide a hook for calling
'Lx_kit::initialize()' prior to the static ctors. As the corresponding
symbol can be resolved at run-time there is no need to add the
library as a build-time dependency.
Issue #4813
The device-tree binary is normally required on ARM-based platforms
where as on x86 it is omitted. The platform-specific DTB helper
provides a generic interface for accssing the DTB and needs to be
implemented on each platform.
Issue #4813
The SDIO connected wireless device on the PinePhone is not available
on start-up, which leads to the supplicant failing to initalize
'wlan0'. Normally the supplicant would be used in a way that handling
devices that appear at run-time happens gracefully.
Rather than supporting this behavior we defer the start-up of the
supplicant until the device could be openend successfully for now.
Issue #4813
The MAC address device report should be published once the device is
available. Since this may happen at a later time we have to check the
call.
Issue #4813
This commit introduces support for building the WLAN driver for ARM
platforms. It makes the WPA supplicant and its support libraries
available for all platforms. It also seperates the PCI parts to
accommodate platforms where other bus protocols are used.
Issue #4813
The driver was only tested with an "Atheros AR9462 Rev:2" [168c:0034]
device using the 'wifi.run' run script.
Note: for it to work MSI may not be used as otherwise interrupts do not
work. Using an IOMMU leads to the following fault:
[ 0] IOMMU:0xffffffff817eb0b0 FRR:0 FR:0x22 BDF:4:0:0 FI:0xb0000000000000 (0)
Issue #4813
The way the 'struct page' management is currently implemented it is
not safe to rely on it in case allocations share the same page. This
is in particular true where the virtual address is obtained by
querying the page object for maintaining the CPU caches.
Issue #4813
Optionally log scheduling-context execution time in addition to the
thread-context. This may be relevant on kernel platforms that do not
schedule threads on their own CPU share only but implement some kind of
donation scheme, for example, NOVA.

This commit updates the used firmware images for the iwlwifi device
to latest available ones (supported by the current 6.1.x driver).
It also removes old firmware images that by now are not used anymore.
Fixes#4807.
Unfortunately, the change of "depot: remove empty config from
pkg/nano3d" broke the manual deployment of the nano3d demo because no
<config> is provided in this case.
This patch splits pkg/nano3d into two variants. The regular nano3d pkg
comes with an empty <config/> node as before. The unconfigured_nano3d
pkg does not feature any <config/> node and can thereby be configured
via a ROM route to a dynamic-rom service.
This patch equips the depot_download subsystem with the option to
explicitly skip the signature verification for downloads by specifying
the attribute 'verify="no"' for an <installation> item. This is useful
in scenarios where the lack of integrity of downloaded content does not
pose a risk, e.g., for untrusted applications that are rigidly
sandboxed, or during development.
Note that this option does not entirely discarge the signature checking.
Whenever an download has dependencies that are verifyable - for
which the public key exists in the depot - the dependencies are still
verified. This allows untrusted content to depend of verifyable content
while protecting the integrity the verifyable content.
Issue #4804
This patch adds the 'Verify' argument to all download-related interfaces
in order to control the checking of signatures for downloads. Note that
it does not change the sculpt_manager's existing built-in policy of
always checking signatures.
Issue #4804
This patch moves the interfaces needed for the interactive addition of runtime
components from the 'Popup_dialog' to the 'model/component.h'. So those
interfaces are no longer tied to one specific view implementation.
This free-standing function is meant to gradually replace
'Dialog::match_sub_dialog' interface, which relies on the caching of
the hover state. The new function is more flexible because dialogs do no
longer need to inherit 'Dialog'.
The missing else statements resulted in the addition of a
superfluous <archive> node when installing an <index>, causing
warning messages by the depot-download subsytem.
This patch adds the ability to specify an optional 'as' attribute in a
<rom> module declarion of a runtime file.
<runtime ...>
...
<content>
<rom label="camera-pinephone.dtb" as="dtb"/>
...
</content>
</runtime>
If specified, The depot-deploy tool uses the provided attribute value to
hand out the ROM 'camera-pinephone.dtb' under the label 'dtb' to the
subsystem.
Recent devices are configured with 4096 RX pages that lead to an
increased memory usage. For the moment lower the amount to 2048
and treat in potientially lower throughput for more conservative
memory consumption.
Fixes#4801.
For Windows guests, it's crucial to configure the paravirtualization
provider in .vbox6 like follows. Otherwise, the TSC calibration fails
(issue #4726) and the CPU frequency (in task manager) is bogus.

Fixes#4726
The get_cycles() call within the test doesn't apply to RDTSC
access when running on ARM but to arch_timer_read_counter, which
is an empty function pointer. By setting it to a function that
returns Genode::Trace::timestamp() we can enable the test for ARM.

Now, block_devices are reported earliest right after the devices ROM was
parsed and neither AHCI nor NVMe were found. If one or both devices were
found, the report is deferred after all expected reports arrived.
Issue #4791
Previously the 'partitions' report was implicitly generated after
parsing the partition-table by accessing the referenced reporter
object.
Now the report is explicitly created by calling the 'generate_report'
member function. At this point we no longer have access to all
required information so the 'Partition' class was extended to
accommodate for the data needed by MBR as well as GPT reports.
Fixes#4786.
The 'File_content' utility throws an exception whenever a file happens
to get truncated during the reading process. But it silently truncates
the data against the specified limit. In practice, exceeding the limit
is usually an error case. This patch enhances the 'File_content' utility
by throwing 'Truncated_during_read' in the limit-exceeded case as well,
in order to ease the diagnosis of such cases.
Issue #4788
'cap()' will return invalid capability within session destructor, therefore Vram
objects that belong to the session will not be destroyed, leading to danling
references later on. Use '_owner.cap' of session instead.
The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific
component-local low-level initialization. It allows for the
differentiation between core and regular components as well as
kernel-dependent peculiarities.
This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial
stack.
Issue #4784
VirtIO device models can assert interrupts to notify about
buffer and configuration changes. By now, we could only assert
buffer notification interrupts, but no configuration changes.
The latter is needed, e.g. to notify about GPU mode changes.

Depending on the number of partitions the current fixed size of 4096
bytes might not be sufficient for the resulting partitions report.
The use of the expanding reporter allows for accomodating large reports
while still keeping the resource usage down for the common case of
few partitions (with potentially short names).
Fixes#4782.
The implementations of snprintf and vsnprintf are not needed for the
loading of png images by the demo applications. So we can avoid the
dependency from the format library hosted in the libports repository.
Issue #2064
This commit introduces support for the HMB feature and will setup the
buffer during start-up. The host-memory-buffer (HMB) feature is mostly
used on NVMe devices that do not make use of an DRAM cache to store its
translation tables amongst other operational data. Not using HMB can
impair the performance on such devices.
The memory is allocated in 2 MiB chunks of DMA-capable memory and its
total size in bytes is configurable via the 'hmb_size' config attribute.
The driver always checks the minimal and preferred size of the HMB and
issues a warning in case it is not enabled via the configuration.
Moreover, if the configured size is less than the minimal amount
required by the device the HMB is not configured at all and a warning
is issued also. If the configured size is more than the preferred size
it will be capped to that amount.
Fixes#4715.
This patch converts the loader implementation to the 'Session_object'
interface to implement the ability to upgrade the session caps and RAM
after after the session creation. This is needed to accommodate the
change of the Loader::Connection in commit "Remove format strings from
connection types".
Issue #2064
This patch ultimatedly removes format strings from Genode's base API.
Users of the former base/snprintf.h and base/console.h headers may
use the free-standing 'format' library hosted in the ports repository.

This little library implements rudimentary format-string support. It is
useful for porting 3rd-party code that ought not depend on a full libc.
Issue #2064
The new 'Connection' constructor accepts the session label, affinity,
and args as constructor arguments. The session arguments are passed as a
'Genode::String'. This allows for side-stepping the need for rendering a
format string passed to 'Env::session'.

The additional files provide Chacha implementation in case
may_use_simd() returns false because in_interrupt() returns true.
Related to issue #4778, commit "lx_emul: track irq state changes"
Implement udelay for all architectures within common lx_emul code,
remove driver-specific version.
Always do busy looping in udelay and use cpu_relax()
like the original Linux code. Thereby, we profit from architecture specific
instructions (cpu cool down), and jiffies are updated if irqs are on.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
There are rare use-cases where cpu_relax is used inside a busy loop
(i2c bus functions), which only will break when the jiffies counter
reaches a specific value.
Because of the cooperative scheduling done in lx_emul, no timer
interrupt will break such a loop. As a workaround, we check for
necessary jiffies updates inside cpu_relax if interrupts are enabled.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
To be able to check for interrupts being on or off,
the enabling and disabling is tracked in lx_emul.
When interrupts get received, they have to be turned off.

Do not start and stop idle ticking within the timer interrupt
routine, but do it around the whole Lx_kit scheduling, which

The namespace draws a clear line between the base library and the core

utilities.

In case the packet is erronous the value of 'actual_size' can be

Workers are only summoned by the manager or when there are no workers on
a work queue. In case a work in front of a work queue depends on a work
behind it, a deadlock may occur. To solve this Linux spawns a rescue
worker using timers. Timing of Linux based drivers is currently reworked
and not reliable. Therefore, we increase the number of workers that are
spawned from 1 to 3 per work queue in order to resolve possible
deadlocks.

Set wakeup pointer in FADT/FACS tables and prepare/place ACPI resume code
at application processors (AP) 16-bit entry. Exclude memory used for AP resume
from RAM range to avoid usage by Genode core in allocators.
Issue #4669
The CPUs are woken all at once and up to now the IDs are assigned depending
on the arrival order, which is unfortunate for the resume case. Keep track
of once assigned IDs for CPUs, so that on resume the very same CPU id is given.
The APIC id is guaranteed to be fixed per CPU on suspend, but unfortunately
not dense packed.

Several explicit casts could not be avoided yet, due to the missing
differentiation in between virtual and physical addresses that leads
to casting problems when using 32-bit ARM, and because the MMIO
register framework does not allow to return narrowed types of bitfields.
Apart from that, this commit fixes a switch-case fallthrough error in
Mmio_register::write.

The read_config and write_config functions in the generic virtio
headers used by all drivers lead to compiler warnings resp. errors
if effective-c++ switch is enabled. Moreover, the functions require
to define the access width as parameter. We can better turn them
into template functions using the value type to read resp. write to
derive the access width.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4344
The 'file_size' type denotes the size of files on disk in bytes. On
32-bit architectures it is larger than the size_t, which refers to
in-memory object sizes.
Whereas the use of 'file_size' is appropriate for ftruncate and seek, it
is not a suitable type for the parameters of read/write operations
because those operations refer to in-memory buffers.
This patch replaces the use of 'file_size' by size_t. However, since it
affects all sites where the read/write interface is uses, it takes the
opportunity to replace the C-style (pointer, size) arguments by
'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr'.

Prior to this change the libdrm Lima implementation supported the
creation of multiple contexts where each context, however, was
treated as the same client like it was done in the Lima driver
itself.
With this commit each context becomes its own client while the
main context always performs all buffer object related allocation
and the other context import each needed BO before submitting.

We determine the owner of a Vram object by the session cap of the

Change the abstraction from buffers to video RAM (VRAM). The notion of
buffers can be provided at the client side (e.g., Mesa) and multiple
buffers can be there be associated to one VRAM area, thus saving
resources (meta data overhead) when allocating many buffers. A VRAM area
can also be mapped to one single buffer as before for clients or drivers
that do not take advantage of this feature.
