Enables symetric-multi-processor support in the Linux kernel configuration
used as base for the driver ports for PC. This is done to be compliant with
common usage of x86 drivers today.
Moreover, this commit uses the original kernel source for softirq/tasklet
implementation to get rid of the insufficient shadow implementation
in the lx_emul sources.

The test runs as lx_user task and uses several *delay and wait queue test
cases happened to be used in real ported linux drivers. The test shows
the time spent with several time sources, e.g. jiffies, rdtsc,
lx_time_counter_count etc.
Issue #4540
Use common implementation used by wifi and (not merged) audio driver.
Avoid usage of lib/delay.c since lpj and loop_for_jiffies are not calibrated
for the ported drivers as done on native Linux during boot and leads to wrong
delays for usb and intel_fb.
Issue #4540
The 'iput()' function is called from '__sock_release()' when the sock
object has no valid file object. The release function on the other hand
is called when the supplicant closes a socket.
Fixes #xxx.
The 'with_libc' call at this point is not necessary and could be
harmful as it forces the usage of the user stack for the driver.
All code depending on this distinction should only be executed
from within the pthread.
Issue #4537.
Querying the RFKILL state led to execution of the Lx_kit::scheduler by
the pthread running the wpa_supplicant. As this may not happen the
RFKILL state is now solely managed by the driver and only the cached
state is read by the supplicant.
Fixes#4537.
Make it configurable, whether on a hotplug event the current valid Genode
config for the driver will be re-evaluated. By default it will be re-evaluated.
Issue #4531
On connector unplug the overall resolution of all available active connectors
can shrink and must be considered to potentially re-create the Capture
connection with smaller resolution size. Additionally, update the documentation.
Issue #4531
acpica and the Intel display driver tries to use the Intel Opregion
simultaneously on Genode, which is not supported nor wanted for IO_MEM region as
which it is handled.
Attempts to remove the access to the region was not successful, since some
SSDT table contains ACPI AML code which is executed regularly and read/write
the Opregion.
The patch adds support to read in a copy of the Intel Opregion done by the
acpi_drv component. The copy was sufficient to make the Intel display driver
working to find and lookup the Intel VBT (video bios table) information to
setup all connectors on a Fujitsu U7411 docking station.
Fixes#4531
Since unblocking the pthread directly may lead to corruption we need
to post-pone it. So we send a signal that should be handled by the EP
after the EP has finished its current line of work.
Fixes#4523.
The driver wrongfully disabled all APs if it was configured with an
auto-connect list containing multiple APs when one of those was
disabled as a result of using wrong credentials.
This commit changes the way network enable- and disablement are
handled by only operating on the given access-point in question.
It also removes unused code touched by these changes.
Thanks to Peter for bringing this problem to our attention.
Fixes#4517.
Both the Wifi driver and the WireGuard port used local implementations for
their source of randomness. Wifi used a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG for rapid generation
of random values but initialized this PRNG always with the same static seed
value. WireGuard, in contrast, requested each random byte directly from the
jitterentropy lib, which is considered to be very time intensive.
This commit removes the local variants of random.cc and introduces a new
centralized lx_emul/random.cc . The new variant combines the former approaches,
so, that jitterentropy is accessed only in order to generate a random seed for
a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG. Front-end requests for random values are then fulfilled
efficiently via the PRNG.
:Warning:
The output of the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG that is used in the new implementation of
the lx_emul randomness functions has known statistical problems (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoroshiro128%2B#Statistical_Quality).
Furthermore, the integration of Xoroshir128+ with the lx_emul code was not
reviewed/audited for its security-related properties, so far, and has the
known deficiency of seeding the PRNG only once during initialization. Thus,
we strongly advise against the use of the lx_emul randomness functions for
security-critical purposes.
Ref #4397
The driver did not allow for setting module parameters and so far
no one complained. Remove the option to prevent the misleading of
users.
Issue #4506.
This commit de-duplicates the redundant dummy implementations and
to some degree also the 'lx_emul.c' implementations while also
decluttering the various 'dep.list' files.
The code is moved into 'src/lib/pc/lx_emul' where it becomes part
of the 'pc_lx_emul' library.
Fixes#4500.
Instead of each driver providing its own header file use a central
header as the initcall order header should cover _all_ provided
initcalls resulting from the used 'pc_linux' kernel config.
Note that the 'pc_linux' configuration was extended with the
'USB_USBNET' option because the module's initcall is needed for the
Genode C API for USB glue-code and the 'PACKET' option needed by
the wireless lan driver.
The lack of theses options was not noticed as each driver used its
own initcall header so far that stemmed from the initial porting
effort.
Issue #4500.
In case we are instructed to reauthenticate and were already
authenticated we ignore the request in the management layer
and let 'wpa_supplicant' deal with that.
Fixes#4488.
When using the framebuffer driver on this machine the
'cpu_latency_qos_request_active' dummy is triggered. Removing the
trace-and-stop call makes the driver usable.
In addition, 'cpu_latency_qos_remove_request' is changed as well
although it is guarded by 'cpu_latency_qos_request_active'.
Fixes#4489.
The error message
"Command buffer creation failed" in intel_dsb.c repeatedly appears
during connector hotplug. Since the driver works also without this DMA offload
optimization, disable the functionality.
Issue #4450
The driver falls in line with the previous 'legacy_wifi_drv' component
where the ported wireless LAN stack and device driver is encapsulated
in a library. This library in return is used by the 'Libc::Component'
providing the necessary environment for the 'wpa_supplicant'.
In constrast to the old driver a 'wifi' VFS plugin is in charge of
initalizing the 'Lx_kit::Env' prior to executing any static
constructors.
Fixes#4455.
In case where the ported driver or protocol stack is executed from
an already managed environment, e.g. the libc, the execution
of the static constructors will be performed at the appropriate
time.
Issue #4455.
The i2c code has a busy loop (see commit for the location), which expects that
the jiffies advances without a cooperative scheduling decision.
Issue #4450
Encountered on the Fuji5 where for reasons currently unknown the
first xHCI HC (0:0d.0) could not be initialize due to incomplete
interupt informations. The other HCs appear to work fine (tested
with a USB low-speed mouse).
required by the upcoming update of the intel display driver. Make this addition
explicit, because it triggers adjustment also on the new pc_usb_host_drv.
Issue #4450
.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it
must be unexported before calling third-party build systems recursively.
* Drivers have to use lx_kit/memory_dma.cc
* Protocol-stacks use lx_kit/memory_non_dma.cc
* Moreover the device-dependent lx_emul parts get removed
from the common lx_emul import rules
Fix#4443
* Unifies the declaration of callbacks which manage driver/client
shared dataspaces
* Move the Linux driver-specific callback implementation to the
lx_emul library from the PC's USB host driver
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4439
The logic got accidentally reversed during the transition from the
legacy USB driver.
Since the function drops error details, this patch adds a diagnostic
message with the error code as returned by the Linux driver.
Adds a function to the USB part of the Genode's C API, to enable
usb_host drivers to acknowledge USB request in client's packet buffer
although they are not assigned to an USB device. The requests are
marked with a "no device" error.
This commit fixes a regression originally solved in genodelabs/genode#4149
