The key element of the improvement is differentiated processing of
events of the following device types.
Mouse: relative motion
Pointer: absolute motion (Qemu usb-tablet and IP-KVM devices)
Touchpad: relative motion via absolute touchpad coordinates
Touchtool: absolute motion (e.g., stylus)
Touchscreen: absolute motion and finger (multi-) touch
Processing is done in two stages for one "input packet". First, all
events of the packet are recorded into the current evdev state with
device-type specific operations. Then, appropriate Genode input events
are generated from the accumulated evdev state in the submission stage
(again by device-type specific functions).
A simple version of tap-to-click was added to the touchpad support.
Fixes#5105
The lxip_raw.run script will spawn a client/server scenario that tests
Genode C-API calls. The scenario can be used standalone, meaning no
actual network card is required.
issue #5104
The former implementation relied on input drvdata always pointing to
struct hid_device, which is not true for Wacom touch devices (at least).
Now, we implement the input handler for devices providing LEDs
(evbit[EV_LED] set) only and use input_inject_event() to set the LED
states.
Several nightly network-related tests fail currently on sel4/pc because the
new e1000 NIC driver requires more capabilities. The "drivers nic" package
was already adapted to the new requirement but some tests fail to provide
enough caps to the corresponding sub system. This commit tries to fix all
remaining tests.
Ref #4923
Since the wireless LAN driver is actually a 'Libc::Component' due to
its incorporation of the 'wpa_spplicant' application, we have to
intercept its construction because we have to initialize the Lx_kit
environment before any static ctors are executed. Most Linux initcalls
are implemented as ctors that will be otherwise implicitly executed
before the controll is given to us in 'Libc::Component::construct'.
Issue #4927.
This commit changes the firmware handling from requesting each
firmware file as a ROM module that is checked against a list of
known images (including their size) to requesting each file via
the local VFS of the 'wifi_drv'. This allows for using the original
probing mechanism that tries to select a matching firmware version.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to configure the driver.
Issue #4861.
The bulk of the driver code now lives in the 'dde_linux' repository,
which is available on all platforms, from where it can be referenced by
other repositories.
The 'wifi_drv' binary was delegated to a generic harness that includes
all configuration and management functionality shared by all wireless
device driver components, e.g., the wpa_supplicant. The code of the
device driver emulation environment is located in 'src/lib/wifi'. It
is referenced by the platform-specific driver library that resides in
the corresponding platform repository. The runtime configuration needs
to point the driver to proper driver library.
The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the contrib
source utilized by the driver as well as providing the 'source.list'
and 'dep.list' files. It must include the generic library snippet
'repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc' that deals with managing the emulation
environment code.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to deploy the driver.
Issue #4861.
Instead of having a generic "virt_qemu" board use "virt_qemu_<arch>" in
order to have a clean distinction between boards. Current supported
boards are "virt_qemu_arm_v7a", "virt_qemu_arm_v8a", and
"virt_qemu_riscv".
issue #4034
With this commit, the WireGuard component exits with a descriptive uncaught
exception on invalid configurations or when the user attempts to re-configure
attributes that are not re-configurable (private_key, listen_port, interface).
This is particularly important when it comes to the not re-configurable private
key. If the component would just ignore the attempt to override the private
key, the user may come to believe that his old (potentially compromised)
private key is not in use anymore.
The fact that the component now exits instead shouldn't be a problem, as the
user would have to restart the component anyway in order to apply the new
attribute values.
The commit also extends the wg_reconfig run script to test that WireGuard
exits on the attempt to re-configure the private key.

Support removing peers by removing them from the component configuration.
This commit also introduces the wg_reconfig run script that tests adding and
removing single peers.
Ref #4520
A userland component that ports the Linux WireGuard kernel module (originally
from kernel version 5.14.21) and integrates it via a NIC session (public
network side) and an Uplink session (private network side). The
WireGuard-specific device configuration is done through the component
configuration. The port is done using lx_emul, lx_kit and the virt_linux
targets. The commit adds also 4 corresponding run scripts of which 3 are fully
automated of which 1 is added to the autopilot.
:Warning:
Although in principal functioning, the WireGuard port has not been exposed to a
sufficient amount of real-world testing, so far. Therefore, we strongly
recommend not to use it in any security-critical scenarios! There is no
guarantee that the port meets any of the security goals pursued by the
WireGuard protocol or other WireGuard implementations!
