By appending a newline to the generated XML data, we prevent the output
from messing with the command prompt when using 'cat' on a shell.
Futhermore, when using line-buffered output, the trailing newline
ensures that the output gets gets properly flushed.
The result of the second run (TCP_MAERTS) gets extracted wrongly - due to the
change introduced by commit "run: always append to output buffer"
(Issue #1327). The output buffer is no longer reseted between several
run_genode_until invocation within a run script.
On ARM, the compiler generates calls to memcpy and memset. Most
dynamically linked programs use the libc, which provides these
functions. However, if a dynamically linked program does not use the
libc (e.g., noux/minimal or the new version of cli_monitor), those
symbols remain unresolved. By adding them to ldso's symbol.map, the
dynamic linker will resolve them with the functions of the cxx
library, which is part of the dynamic linker.
Issue #1561
This patch moves the VFS file-system factory to a separate vfs library
that is independent from libc. This enables libc-less Genode programs to
easily use the VFS infrastructure.
Fixes#1561
With this patch, the VESA driver reports the framebuffer width to the
client instead of the visible width This fixes possible distortion
if these widths differ, at the cost that content in the right-most area
might be invisible in such cases.
Issue #1264.
Add a Platform::setup_irq_mode function which enables the IRQ session to
update the trigger mode and polarity of the associated IRQ according to
the session parameters. On ARM this function is a nop.
This change enables the x86_64 platform to support devices which use
arbitrary trigger modes and polarity settings, e.g. AHCI on QEMU and
real hardware.
Fixes#1528.
Because of helping, it is possible that a core thread that wants to
destroy another thread at the kernel is using the scheduling context of
the thread that shall be destroyed at this point in time. When building
without GENODE_RELEASE defined, this always triggers an assertion in the
kernel. But when building with GENODE_RELEASE defined, this might silently
lead to kernel-memory corruption. This commit eliminates the latter case.
Should be reverted as soon as the scheduler is able to remove its head.
Ref #1537
Placement new can be misleading, as we already overload the new operator
to construct objects via pointers to allocators. To prohibit any problems here,
and to use one consistent approach, we can explicitely construct the object
with the already available 'construct_at' template function.

For several basic sessions that core provides default ram quota values
exist in the form of enum values. They are used e.g. by init to deduce
session costs. Unfortunately they were not used when actually establishing
the session, which lead to inconsistencies.
Ref #1443
This patch installs the parent endpoint selector and the PD's CNode into
a PD at its creation time. Furthermore, it initializes the IPC buffer
for the main thread of the new component.
This allows us to see debug messages printed at the eary initialization
of init (before init is able to obtain the regular LOG session). This
will be reverted as soon as the initialziation of the non-core base
environment works.
To build core and other Genode components, we will need to extend the
base-common.mk library with additions that conflict with the
minimalistic root-task environment of test/sel4. To preserve the
minimalistic root task, we need to decouple it from the base-common
library.
We implicitly know that the value range will not exceed access_t despite
the integer-based arithmetics, i.e., negation and shift operations.
Fixes#1524
Avoids the need to have per IRQ a thread that blocks synchronously for next
interrupt. Now a thread may wait for multiple IRQs as other signals
simultaneously.
In core no threads are required anymore for IRQs/MSI - the clients (either
the pci_drv or in case of MSI the driver) gets the IRQ delivered directly as
a ordinary Genode signal.
Useful since #1216 and #1487 is now available.
Commit applies feature of #1446 also to IRQ/MSIs.
The assumption that IRQs in the legacy ISA range are always
edge-triggered is wrong. For the free-for-use IRQs it depends on the
actual device which uses the specific IRQ. Therefore, treat IRQs 9, 10
and 11 as level-triggered.
Currently, libc_noux includes the 'base/src/base/env/platform_env.h' file
to be able to reinitialize the environment using the 'Platform_env'
interface. For base-linux, a special version of this file exists and the
inclusion of the generic version in libc_noux causes GCC 4.9 to make wrong
assumptions about the memory layout of the 'Env' object returned by
'Genode::env()'.
This commit moves the reinitialization functions to the 'Env' interface to
avoid the need to include the 'platform_env.h' file in libc_noux.
Fixes#1510
Some functions in the kernel, which create a static object and return its
address, are declared with a GCC 'const' attribute, which can cause GCC
4.9 to optimize the function call out and use the static object's address
without calling the constructor.
Fixes#1509
The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named
'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device
report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506).
A policy for 'report_rom' would look like:
<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>
If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets
printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support.
The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in
the '.vbox' file. Example:
<USB>
<DeviceFilters>
<DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9"
productId="2220" remote="0"/>
</DeviceFilters>
</USB>
The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed
scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work
with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack).
It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the
devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through
a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.
Fixes#1507
The report lists all connected devices and gets updated when devices are
added or removed.
Example report:
<devices>
<device vendor_id="0x17ef" product_id="0x4816"/>
<device vendor_id="0x0a5c" product_id="0x217f"/>
<device vendor_id="0x8087" product_id="0x0020"/>
<device vendor_id="0x8087" product_id="0x0020"/>
<device vendor_id="0x1d6b" product_id="0x0002"/>
<device vendor_id="0x1d6b" product_id="0x0002"/>
</devices>
There is no distinction yet for multiple devices of the same type.
The report is named "devices" and an example policy for 'report_rom' would
look like:
<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>
The report only gets generated if enabled in the 'usb_drv' configuration:
<config>
<raw>
<report devices="yes"/>
</raw>
</config>
Fixes#1506
On NOVA, a Genode thread currently cannot destroy itself by destroying its
own 'Thread' object, because in 'Thread_base::_deinit_platform_thread()'
it cannot call 'Cpu_session::kill_thread()' anymore after it has revoked
its own UTCB.
As solution, the revocation of the UTCB can be delayed until its location
in the context area is needed by a new thread.
Fixes#1505
Enable a platform to specify how the MMIO memory allocator is to be
initialized. On ARM the existing behavior is kept while on x86 the I/O
memory is defined as the entire address space excluding the core only
RAM regions. This aligns the hw_x86_64 I/O memory allocator
initialization with how it is done for other x86 kernels such as NOVA or
Fiasco.
Perform lazy-initialization of FPU state when it is enabled for the
first time. This assures that the FXSAVE area (including the stored
MXCSR) is always properly setup and initialized to the platform default
values.
Perform all FPU-related setup in the Cpu class' init_fpu function instead of
the general system bring-up assembly code.
Set all required control register 0 and 4 flags according to Intel SDM Vol. 3A,
sections 9.2 and 9.6 instead of only enabling FPU error reporting and OSFXSR.
On seL4, we need to convert untyped memory to page frames before being
able to use it as normal memory. There already exists the hook function
'_export_ds' that is principally suitable for such tasks. It is
currently solely used on Linux where we have to create a file for each
dataspace. To make the hook useful also for seL4, we need to call
_export_ds prior _clear_ds. Otherwise, we would try to clear memory that
is still untyped.
On our test machine the xhci controller has a usb3.0 network adapter attached
and the xhci controller is the only usb controller which has MSI support,
so let us use and test it.

This repository is superseded by the 'dde_bsd' repository. Though
OSSv4 served us well, its future is uncertain and having active
upstream development is preferable. In addition the ported Intel
HD Audio driver did not work on any Thinpad model newer than T60.

These audio drivers enable support for Intel HD Audio (Azalia) and
Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1370) compatible soundcards. They are ported

This patch avoids the attempt to extend the cxx-local heap during the
startup phase of an application. Originally, the static part of the cxx
was merely 100 bytes, which did not suffice to run the minimalistic test
roottask on seL4.
Fiasco.OC limits the UTCB area for roottask to 16K. Therefore, the
number of threads is limited to 16K / L4_UTCB_OFFSET. (see
kernel/fiasco/src/kern/kernel_thread-std.cpp:94)
In the past, when the user blocked for an IRQ signal, the last signal was
acknowledged automatically thereby unmasking the IRQ. Now, the signal session
got a dedicated RPC for acknowledging IRQs and the HW back-end of that RPC
acknowledged the IRQ signal too. This led to the situation that IRQs were
unmasked twice. However, drivers expect an interrupt to be unmasked only on
the Irq_session::ack_irq and thus IRQ unmasking was moved from
Kernel::ack_signal to a dedicated kernel call.
Fixes#1493
White list access to ports we actually need for our drivers so far and
deny everything else by default. The extend pci config space dataspace is
currently not used and exposes a potential risk (BAR rewrite) - so deny.

The thread library (thread.cc) in base-foc shared 95% of the code with
the generic implementation except myself(). Therefore, its
implementation is now separated from the other generic sources into
myself.cc, which allows base-foc to use a foc-specific primitive to
enable our base libraries in L4Linux.

Otherwise RPC calls to dead/invalid destinations are rated as successful,
which leads to wrong execution paths later on. Triggered by bomb.run where
rm_session.attach() returned as successful with local address set to 0, which
causes un-handled page-faults later on.
Fixes#1480
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
