On some platforms like qemu/x86_64/sel4, accessing the file system is so
slow that it used to hit the timeout of this phase in the run script.
Ref #5148
This patch lays the selection of the used storage target into the hands
of the config/manager file. By default, Sculpt selects the target by its
built-in heuristics, probing for a Sculpt partition. However, by
specifying a <target> node, one can explicitly select a storage target.
E.g., for using the 2nd partition of the SATA disk connected to port 1
of the AHCI controller, one can now specify:
<target driver="ahci" port="1" partition="2"/>
For selecting the ram_fs as target:
<target driver="ram_fs"/>
The latter case is particularly useful for custom Sculpt scenarios
deployed entirely from RAM. For such scenarios, add two lines to
your .sculpt file:
ram_fs: depot
manager: use_ram_fs
The first line configures the ram_fs such that the depot is mounted
as a tar archive. The second line configures the sculpt manager to
select the ram_fs as storage target. You can find this feature
exemplified in default-linux.sculpt scenario.
build/x86_64$ make run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
It is worth noting that the configuration can be changed at runtime.
This allows for switching between different storage targets on the fly.
Issue #5166
The new 'manager' config allows for the passing of configuration data the
sculpt manager without the need to modify the config/leitzentrale subsystem.
Issue #5166
Unlike the previous return value of
`Genode::Packet_allocator::need_size_for_free()` indicated, it does need
the size of the object it has to free to work properly.
The plugin used to call open with the create flag set at rump without file
permissions for create leading to undefined behavior regarding the file
permissions.
Ref #5148
All errors (as in the legacy version) are now propagated as WRITE_ERR_IO
(see Lxip_vfs_file_handle::write), which ultimately will lead to EPIPE
in libc's socket_fs. This also counts for EAGAIN leading to the fact
that partial writes are not supported for blocking sockets in libc, also
libc will not try a second time in case not all data has been written.
issue #5165
The IP stack checks "user" pointer access, for example, for iov's using
'access_ok' which in turn calls '__access_ok'. The function checks if the
pointer is below TASK_SIZE_MAX, which is usually a big value on 64 bit
systems, but 3GB on 32 bit systems. Because the IP stack is mostly used with
Genode's libc, where pointers on some kernels (base-linux) can be >3GB and we
don't want to make an additional copy of each buffer/iov interacting with the
IP stack, we short circuit the function
issue #5165
This patch replaces the dynamic use of Attached_rom_dataspace by a
new Rom_handler utility, which implicitly covers the initial import of
content (safely using 'local_submit'), the registration of the signal
handler, passes the Xml_node to the handler function (no need to
manually call 'update'), and provides scoped access to the content via a
'with_xml' method. The latter reinforces a programming style that does
not need to copy Xml_node objects.
Issue #5150
This patch removes the remains of the original block-device discovery as
done by the former driver manager. Block sessions are now always
provided by components hosted in the runtime subsytem. The storage node
of the graph is no more.
Issue #5150
This patch harmonizes the driver management between the sculpt manager
and the phone manager by hosting the individual drivers in a new
'Drivers' class with a narrow interface towards 'Sculpt::Main'. The
patch also introduces a clean separation of the 'Board_info' between
features detected at runtime (on PC hardware), statically
known/managed features (phone hardware), and options that can be
toggled at runtime.
With common patterns for managing drivers in place now, this commit
also moves the former runtime/wifi_drv.cc and runtime/nic_drv.cc
code to driver/wifi.h and driver/nic.h. The _drv suffix of the wifi
and nic driver components have been dropped.
Issue #5150
The move of block, USB, and input drivers from the drivers subsystem to
the runtime alleviates the need for routing those sessions between the
subsystems.
Issue #5150
This patch moves SoC-specific framebuffer and touchscreen drivers
(PinePhone) to the runtime subsystem. They are enabled for the
phone_manager.
Issue #5150
As the NVMe driver was the last remaining driver controlled by the
driver manager, this patch removes the 'drivers -> dynamic' subsystem
along with the driver manager from sculpt/drivers/pc.
Issue #5150
This patch moves the AHCI driver from the 'drivers -> dynamic'
subsystem to the runtime, managed by the sculpt_manager. One
implication of this change is the new need to supplement a device
port number to the 'Storage_target', in addition to the existing
label and partition. Previously, each block device was addressed by
merely a label specified for a parent session. The meanings of the
'Storage_target' elements are now as follows.
- The label corresponds to the driver component providing the storage.
- The port is used as block-session label when opening the session
at the driver.
- The partition(s) denote the partition information contained in
the block session.
Components operating as clients of the AHCI driver (e.g., a file system)
refer to their storage target as <label>-<port>.<partition> when a port
is defined (for AHCI). For drivers w/o ports, like USB storage where
each USB-block driver correponds to only one device, the storage target
is denoted as <label>.<partition>. When no partition table is present,
the '.<partition>' part is omitted.
Issue #5150
This commit moves the USB and USB HID driver from the drivers subsystem
into the runtime. The former special USB node of the graph corresponds
now to the USB host-controller driver (named "usb"). The management
options for USB storage devices are available inside this component
node now.
Issue #5150
By moving the event_filter and the numlock_remap_rom from the drivers
subsystem to the static system, the filtering can be applied to drivers
hosted in the runtime and drivers hosted in the drivers subsystem.
This is a preparatory step for moving the USB host and HID drivers to
the runtime.
Issue #5150
Remove the "excellent" idea to re-open /dev/stdout etc. for redirection as
cmake uses open(O_TRUNC) and, thus, truncates log output of outer
redirections.
When the kernel does interrupt remapping, we cannot get a non-remapped MSI
for fault event interrupts. We therefore let the kernel do the fault
reporting in this case.
genodelabs/genode#5066
pci_channel_offline() checks if this member is set to
pci_channel_io_normal (which is 1). The former value of 0 is invalid.
This change fixes pc_nic_drv link down-up in cases that require an e1000
reset.
lx_emul_trace_msg() uses Genode::trace() as message function for
lightweight trace points, but also supports Linux format-string
attributes by using vsnprintf().
Only with high-resolution timers enabled timouts can fire between two
jiffies. The option is enabled on all relevant platforms but
unfortunately disabled by tinyconfig.
This option also permits the use of CONFIG_SND_HRTIMER.
* add testing of trees with minimal and maximal dimensions to tresor_tester.run
* replace tresor_init-local configuration type with simpler and more conformant
configuration type in tresor/types.h that does also XML-parsing and
XML-generation of configurations
* raise min degree to 2 because a degree of 1 is not practical und would
require additional logic
* fix overflow with num_blocks=0 in Superblock_control::Read|Write_vbas
* fix off-by-one bug regarding the number of levels in Vbd_initializer
* improve sanity checks in Tree_configuration constructors
* document level indices in tresor_init/README
* fix size of some arrays in order to be able to handle the maximum number of
tree levels
Ref #5077
* fixes two places, where the free tree module used to continue to process a
request after actually having determined that the request fails
* moves the functionality of checking the hash of a read block and decoding it
to a dedicated method in order to improve readability
Ref #5077
Adds a new command attribute "uninitialized_data" to the Tresor Tester
configuration. If a <request op="read"> command has this attribute set to "yes"
it assumes the read blocks to be uninitialized and therefore contain only 0's.
Note, that a command that has "uninitialized_data" set to "yes" cannot have the
attribute "salt".
Ref #5077
Snapshots must only be removed when securing the superblock. Otherwise, the
last secured superblock might get corrupted. The Free Tree allocation algorithm
would not consider the deleted snapshots anymore although they are still active
in the secured superblock and re-use their blocks. This would render the tresor
container unusable if the superblock with the deleted snapshots is not secured
in the end (driver crash, power down, ...).
Ref #5077
Superblock_control::Initialize used to decode a read superblock before checking
its hash. This is not necessary but may cause the operation to end up in a
decoding error on a superblock that is not the desired one anyway.
Ref #5077
Instead of iterating over all superblocks and checking each valid one,
check only the one whose hash matches the hash stored in the trust anchor.
I.e., the last one that was secured to the trust anchor. We must assume that
the other superblocks were corrupted in the meantime by operating the Tresor
container and, anyway, these Superblocks are not used anymore.
Ref #5077
The request of extending a tree used to halt when it found that
it could not add more levels to the tree because the maximum level index was
reached. Now, the library simply marks the request as failed, leaving it to
the user to handle the error condition.
Ref #5077
* differentiates request types that where merged formerly per module;
e.g. instead of type Superblock_control::Request, there are now types
* Superblock_control::Read_vbas
* Superblock_control::Write_vbas
* Superblock_control::Rekey
* Superblock_control::Initialize
* ...
each holding only the state and functionality that is required for exactly
that request
* removes all classes of the Tresor module framework and adapts all
Tresor- and File-Vault- related libs, apps, and tests accordingly
* the former "channel" state is merged into the new request types, meaning, a
request manages no longer only the "call" to a functionality but
also the execution of that functionality; every request has a lifetime
equal to the "call" and an execute method to be driven forward
* state that is used by a request but has a longer lifetime (e.g. VFS file
handles in Tresor::Crypto) is managed by the top level
of the user and handed over via the execute arguments; however, the
synchronization of multiple requests on this state is done by the module
(e.g. Tresor::Crypto)
* requests are now driven explicitly as first argument of the (overloaded)
execute method of their module; the module can, however, stall a request
by returning false without doing anything (used for synchronization on
resources)
* introduces Request_helper, Generated_request and Generatable_request in the
Tresor namespace in order to avoid the redundancy of sub-request generation
and execution
* moves access to Client-Data pointers up to Tresor::Virtual_block_device in
order to simplify Tresor::Block_io and Tresor::Crypto
* removes Tresor::Client_data and introduces pure interface
Client_data_interface in order to remove Tresor::Client_data and
move management of Client Data to the top level of a Tresor user
* introduces pure interface Crypto_files_interface in order to move management
of Crypto files to the top level of a Tresor user
* moves management of Block-IO and Trust-Anchor files to the top level of a
Tresor user
* adapts all execute methods, so, that they return the progress state
instead of modifying a reference argument
* removes Tresor::Request_and Tresor:Request and instead implements
scheduling at the top level of the Tresor user
* the Tresor Tester uses a list as schedule that holds Command objects; this
list ensures, that commands are started in the order of configuration
the Command type is a merge of the state of all possible commands that can
be configured at the Tresor Tester; the actual Tresor requests (if any) are
then allocated on-demand only
* the Tresor VFS plugin does not use a dynamic data structure for scheduling;
the plugin has 5 members that each reflect a distinct type of operation:
* initialize operation
* deinitialize operation
* data operation
* extend operation
* rekey operation
consequently, of each type, there can be only one operation in-flight at a
time; at the user front-end each operation (except "initialize") can be
controlled through a dedicated VFS file; for each of these files, the VFS
expects only one handle to be open at a time and only one file operation
(read, write, sync) active at a time; once an operation gets started it is
finished without preemtion (except of the interleaving at rekey and
extend); when multiple operations are waiting to be started the plugin
follows a static priority scheme:
init op > deinit op > data op > extend op > rekey op
there are some operation-specific details
* the initialize operation is started only by the plugin itself on startup
and will be driven as side effect by subsequent user calls to file
operations
* the data file is the only contiguous file in the front end and the file
operations work as on usual data files
* the other 3 files are transactional files and the user is expected to
follow this scheme when operating on them
1) stat (to determine file size)
2) seek to offset 0
3) read entire file once (this will be queued until there is no operation
of this type pending anymore and return the last result:
"none" | "failed" | "succeeded"; used primarily for synchronization)
4) write operation parameters (this returns immediately and marks the
operation as "requested")
5) read entire file once (the same as above but this time in order to
determine the operation result)
* the rekey op and deinitialize op are requested by writing "true"
* the extend op is requested by writing "tree=[TREE], blocks=[BLOCKS]"
where TREE is either "vbd" or "ft" and BLOCKS is the number of physical
4K blocks by which the physical range of the tresor container expands
(the physical range always starts at block address 0 and is always
expanded upwards)
* replaces the former <trust-anchor op="initialize"> command at the Tresor
Tester with <initialize-trust-achor> as there are no other trust anchor
operations that can be requested through the Tester config anyway
* removes the "sync" attribute from all commands at the Tresor Tester except
from <request op="rekey">, <request "extend_ft">, <request op="extend_vbd">;
as the Tester controls scheduling now, requests are generally synchronous;
at the rekeying and extension commands, the "sync" attribute determines
wether subsequent commands are interleaved with the execution of these
commands (if possible)
* removes "debug" config attribute from Tresor VFS plugin and reworks "verbose"
attribute to generate more sensible output
* removes NONCOPYABLE macro and instead uses Genode::Noncopyable and in-place
Constructors deletion
* introduces types Attr and Execute_attr where a constructor or execute method
have many arguments in order to raise readability
* renames the "hashsum" file that is provided by the Tresor Trust-Anchor VFS
plugin to "hash" in order to become conformant with the wording in the Tresor
lib
* makes the VFS Tresor test an automated test by merging in the functionality
of vfs_tresor_init.run and removing the interactive front end; removes
vfs_tresor_init.run as it is not needed anymore; adds consideration for
autopilot file structure in the Test and adds it to autopilot.list
* removes all snapshot controls and the progress files for rekeying and
extending from the Tresor VFS plugin; both functionalities were tested
only rudimentary by the VFS Tresor test and are not supported with the only
real user, the File Vault
* use /* .. */ instead of // ..
* use (..) instead of { .. } in init lists
Ref #5148
The virtual block device module used to hand over the wrong VBA as
parameter "rekeying VBA" to the Free Tree when allocating PBAs for data
access during rekeying. In certain constellations, this caused the Free
Tree to alloc PBAs that were still in use. The Free Tree PBA selection
algorithm, however, is just fine. When fixing the call parameter, it works
as desired. This re-enables the async rekeying test.
Ref #5075
The script tests the use of an encrypted file system that is created and
provided via the File Vault.
Furthermore the script can be used for test-driving existing File-Vault
containers (created with potentially older File-Vault versions) under the
current File-Vault version. This is done via the "LX_FS_DIR_TEMPLATE"
env variable.
