This patch adds the trace-logger utility to the default set of packages
along with an optional launcher. With this change, only two steps are
needed to use Genode's tracing mechanism with Sculpt:
- Add 'trace_logger' to the 'launcher:' list of the .sculpt file
- Either manually select the 'trace_logger' from the '+' menu,
or add the following entry to the deploy configuration:
<start name="trace_logger"/>
By default, the trace logger is configured to trace all threads
executed in the runtime subsystem and to print a report every 10
seconds. This default policy can be refined in the launcher's <config>
node. Note that the trace logger does not respond to configuration
changes during runtime. Changes come into effect not before restarting
the component.
Issue #4448
This patch changes the output format of the trace logger to become
better suitable for human consumption. For example, when instrumenting
the VFS server in Sculpt using the GENODE_TRACE_TSC utility, the
trace logger now generates tabular output as follows.

Subjects that belong to the same PD are grouped together. The formerly
optional affinity and activity options have been removed. Those
information are now unconditionally displayed. The trace entries
belonging to a thread appear as slightly indented.
The patch also updates the coding style, avoiding excessively long
lines.
Issue #4448
This patch reduces repetitive log output by omitting inactive trace
subjects from the log output. The information about all subjects can
still be dumped by setting 'verbose="yes"'.
Issue #4448
This patch splits the creation and updating of monitor objects into two
stages. The creation of a monitor object changes the state of the
associated trace subject. The patch ensures that the new state is
captured by the update of the monitor object.
Issue #4448
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.
Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.
This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:
UNATTACHED prior any call of 'trace'
ATTACHED after a trace monitor called 'trace'
but before the tracing is active
TRACE tracing is active

Fixes#4449
This commit adjusts the value such that USB sessions requested by
VirtualBox6 on Sculpt OS can get established on the first try without
invoking the session-retry mechanism. This reduces the number of
diagnostic log messages like:
Error: Insufficient 'ram_quota',got 6296372 need 6297928
The existing assignment of CPU quotas did not anticipate the dynamic
reconfiguration of init. It merely tracked the available CPU quota by
deducing the consumed amount from a global variable but never
replenished the value. This worked for static scenarios but failed in
situations where components are dynamically re-started.
So far this deficiency remained detected because CPU quotas were not
used in highly dynamic systems like Sculpt OS. However, this has
recently changed by commit "sculpt: assign CPU quotas".
The patch improves the accounting by mirroring the existing handling of
RAM and cap quotas. Note that the CPU-quota accounting is still rather
limited. In particular the dynamic rebalancing is not yet supported.
Issue #4445
With the consolidation of the file-system session's signal handlers
implemented by commit "file_system_session: merge ack and submit sigh",

'acknowledge_packet', the new 'try_ack_packet' triggers no signal)

This commit simplifies the current implementation by overloading the

This commit changes the touch-click filter to adhere the following
sequence:
touch (physical)
press (artifically generated)
release (artificially generated)
release_touch (physical)
This order is important because nitpicker's focus handling takes
press/release events into account. If the release-touch event appears
before the release event, nitpicker subsumes the release-touch event
to the sequence that started with the press event, instead of handling
it as a free-standing event.

The new usb_host driver for PC by default needs more RAM quota in contrast

Ref genodelabs/genode#4416
XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

'generate(Xml_node node)', as used by the Sculpt manager, calls this
function instead of the lambda version. The 'report' function of the

check this condition in a loop and call '_increase_report_buffer' in
case size limits are reached.

This patch makes nitpicker's "clicked" report useful for the detection
of clicks outside of any client. This is needed in situations where the
dialog should close when clicking outside its screen area. In the new
version, a click outside any client results in a report without a
'label' attribute. Furthermore, the report is augmented by the sequence
number of the click, which allows for freshness checks by the consumer of
the report (i.e., sculpt_manager).

The functionality of the test-block-client, test-block-server, and

application and the vfs_block server.
Issue #4405
This patch eliminates warnings that occurred as side effect of using the
'Session_policy' utility ("Warning: no policy defined for label...").
The new version uses the 'with_matching_policy' function instead, which
has the nice side effect of simplifying the error handling.
This patch makes the server-side policy-matching logic available outside
the 'Session_policy' class. Given that the new 'with_matching_policy'
function does not throw any exception, it gives server implementations
the freedom to avoid the C++ exception mechanism for the policy handling.
If the platform driver lacks the 'managing_system="yes"' attribute,
requests for DMA addresses return 0. This patch is meant to help
diagnosing such configuration issues.
Issue #2243
This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.
The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.
The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.
With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.
Issue #2243
The new event type allows for the propagation of sequence numbers as a means to
validate the freshness of input handling. E.g., an menu-view-based application
can augment artificial sequence numbers to the stream of motion events supplied
to 'menu_view'. Menu view, in turn, can now report the latest received sequence
number in its hover reports, thereby enabling the application to robustly
correlate hover results with click positions.
Issue #4398
This patch replaces formerly blocking packet-stream operations by
the explicit use of 'wait_and_dispatch_io_signal' for blocking.
It also removes a misleading comment that promised a fire-and-forget
behavior whereas the implementation relied on blocking I/O anyway.
Issue #4390
The VFS block plugin used to depend on the blocking semantics of the
packet stream's 'get_acked_packet'. This patch replaces this dependency
by the use of 'wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal'. However, in order to
implement this change, the custom instance of a 'Signal_receiver' had to
be removed as well.
To keep this patch as little invasive as possible, it does not touch the
direct use of the block session's packet stream, which should better be
replaced by the 'Block::Connection::Job' API.
Issue #4390
The zynq_nic_drv follows a zero-copy approach and thus uses the packet
buffers as DMA memory. In order to know when the RX DMA memory can be used
for another packet, a custom ack_avail_handler is needed.
Similarly, packets received from the Uplink session are not copied to a
DMA buffer but to directly passed on as DMA memory. For this purpose,
a a custom packet_avail handler is needed.
genodelabs/genode#4384
The 'read' and 'write' utilities are from a time before the VFS API
as os/vfs.h was available. They rely on the (now removed) blocking
semantics of the packet-stream interface.
The only remaining legitimate use case of the direct interaction with
the file-system session without VFS is the back end of gcov, which needs
a way to exfiltrate the statistical data using a channel that is
independent from the libc or the VFS.
Issue #4390
This patch replaces the direct use of a file-system session via the
'file_system/util.h' helpers by the VFS using the os/vfs.h API. This
makes the component more flexible while removing the dependence from
read and write utilities of file_system/util.h, which happen to rely on
the (now removed) blocking packet-stream semantics.
Issue #4390
Since the change "block_tester: limit batching in sequential test", the
sequence test blocks infinitely when encountering a length value smaller
than the block size.
This patch takes precautions against the use of blocking packet-stream
operations like 'submit_packet'.
With the change of issue #4388, the ready-to-submit signals are no
longer implicitly handled. Hence, a call of submit_packet to a
saturated submit queue blocks infinitely.

Imagine receiving the signal for an available TX ack or an available RX packet
at the Uplink connection but a later received signal for a link-state change
(to link state "down") at the same connection is handled first and destructs
the Uplink connection before the handling of the former signals. In this case,
the methods 'Uplink_client_base::_conn_tx_handle_ack_avail' and
'Uplink_client_base::_conn_rx_handle_packet_avail' must be guarded against an
unconstructed '_conn' member, but they weren't so far.
Fixes#4384
So far, the generic Uplink connection code considered NIC drivers to transmit
connection RX packets in three different manners. Most of the drivers follow
the "normal" way of transmission with only one driver callback from generic
code. The monolithic USB NIC-driver, however, used to send in a "burst" mode
that required a dedicated path with multiple driver callbacks in the generic
code. And then there were drivers that had a fully custom function for doing
transmissions.
Also for handling connection TX acks, there was a "normal" and a
"custom handler" way.
Today, all NIC drivers in the Genode repos and the Genode-World repo follow the
"normal" way. Therefor, the unused code can be removed.
Ref #4384
This patch equips Sculpt with the ability to customize the system image
in very flexible ways.
All customizable aspects of the image have been relocated from the
former sculpt.run script and the accompanied gems/run/sculpt/ directory
to a new location - the sculpt/ directory - which can exist in any
repository. The directory at repos/gems/sculpt/ serves as reference.
The sculpt directory can host any number of <name>-<board>.sculpt files,
each containing a list of ingredients to be incorporated into the
Sculpt system image. The <name> can be specified to the sculpt.run
script. E.g., the following command refers to the 'default-pc.sculpt'
file:
make run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc SCULPT=default
If no 'SCULPT' argument is supplied, the value 'default' is used.
A .sculpt file refers to a selection of files found at various
subdirectries named after their respective purpose. In particular, There
exists a subdirectory for each file in Sculpt's config fs, like
nitpicker, drivers... The .sculpt file selects the alternative to use
by a simple tag-value notation.
drivers: pc
The supported tags are as follows.
*Optional* selection of /config files. If not specified, those files are
omitted, which prompts Sculpt to manage those configurations
automatically or via the Leitzentrale GUI:
fonts
nic_router
event_filter
wifi
runtime
gpu_drv
Selection of mandatory /config files. If not specified, the respective
'default' alternative will be used.
nitpicker
deploy
fb_drv
clipboard
drivers
numlock_remap
leitzentrale
usb
system
ram_fs
Furthermore, the .sculpt file supports the optional selection of
supplemental content such as a set of launchers.
launches: nano3d system_shell
Another type of content are the set of blessed pubkey/download files
used for installing and verifying software on target.
With the new version, it has become possible to supply a depot with the
the system image. The depot content is assembled according to the 'pkg'
attributes found in launcher files and the selected deploy config.
The resulting depot is incorporated into the system image as 'depot.tar'
archive. It can be supplied to the Sculpt system by mounting it into the
ram fs as done by the 'ram_fs/depot' configuration for the ram fs.
It is possible to add additional boot modules to the system image. There
are two options.
build: <list of targets>
This tag prompts the sculpt.run script to build the specified targets
directly using the Genode build system and add the created artifacts
into the system image as boot modules.
import: <list of depot src or pkg archives>
This tag instructs Sculpt to supply the specifid depot-archive content
as boot modules to the system image. This change eliminates the need for
board-specific pkg/sculpt-<board> archives. The board-specific
specializations can now be placed directly into the respective .sculpt
files by using 'import:'.
To make the use of Sculpt as testbed during development more convenient,
the log output of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime subsystems
can be redirected to core using the optional 'LOG=core' argument, e.g.,
make run/sculpt KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux LOG=core
The former pkg/sculpt-installation and pkg/sculpt-installation-pc
archives have been replaced by pkg/sculpt_distribution-pc, which
references the generic pkg/sculpt_distribution archive. Those pkgs are
solely used for publishing / distribution purposes.

header is aligned to 4.
issue #4312
This patch improves the robustness of the CPU-affinity handling.
- The types in base/affinity.h received the accessors
'Location::within(space)' and 'Affinity::valid', which alleviates
the fiddling with coordinates when sanity checking the values,
in init or core.
- The 'Affinity::Location::valid' method got removed because its
meaning was too vague. For sanity checks of affinity configurations,
the new 'within' method is approriate. In cases where only the x,y
values are used for selecting a physical CPU (during thread creation),
the validity check (width*height > 0) was not meaningful anyway.
- The 'Affinity::Location::from_xml' requires a 'Affinity::Space'
as argument because a location always relates to the bounds of
a specific space. This function now implements the selection of
whole rows or columns, which has previously a feature of the
sandbox library only.
- Whenever the sandbox library (init) encounters an invalid affinity
configuration, it prints a warning message as a diagnostic aid.
- A new 'Affinity::unrestricted' function constructs an affinity that
covers the whole affinity space. The named functions clarifies
the meaning over the previous use of the default constructor.
- Core's CPU service denies session requests with an invalid
affinity parameter. Previously, it would fall back to an
unrestricted affinity.
Issue #4300
After VirtIO::Queue refactoring buffers no longer share the same
dataspace as VirtIO rings. This makes optimal buffer calculations a lot
easier. In this case 64 buffers 2kB each will need precisely 128kB of
RAM. Previous value of 2016 will just waste 768b.
Fixed#4347
The key changes in this patch are:
* Buffer allocation is moved into a separate Buffer_pool helper. The
implementation of the buffer allocation strategy does not change.
The helper allocates a single RAM dataspace and splits it in multiple,
equally sized chunks.
* Management of main descriptor ring is enacapsulated in Descriptor_ring
helper class.
* Use separate RAM dataspaces for descriptor rings and buffers.
Previously both of them were packed into a single dataspace. This
might have been more RAM efficient, but IMO it made the code uglier and
harder to understand.
* All of the VirtIO::Queue members are now initialized on the class member
initializer list. This is possible due to previously listed changes.
* Since all VirtIO::Queue members are initalized on member initalizer
list, some additional ones can be marked as const, ex _avail, _used ring
pointers.
* Move descriptor writing code into a common method used by both
write_data and write_data_read_reply members. This avoids some code
duplication between those methods.
* Get rid of request_irq argument that most public VirtIO::Queue methods
accept. None of the existing drivers use it and I doubt this will
change any time soon.
* Use Genode namespace by default in Virtio.
This patch also fixes at least one bug that I discovered while working
on VirtIO block device driver. Namely, when chaining descriptors only the
first descriptor in the chain should be exposed in the available ring.
Issue #4347
The const-variant of the data() method contained an erroneous
calculation of the tail size. This led to the size guard throwing
exceptions when trying to parse TCP packets that only contained the
TCP header.
Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4340
Thanks to Piotr Tworek for the fix and his explanation as follows:
The basic idea is to try to fit payload data into the descriptor used to
send the header. If there is no payload, or the payload fits exactly
into the remaining space in the header decriptor, len should be 0 and
only one descriptor should be used. In such case the "next" and "flags"
members of the descriptor structure should be set to 0.
In case there is some extra payload data to send, but its size is
bigger than the remaining free space in the descriptor used to send the
header, len should contain the remaining size of the payload that
can't be sent via the header descriptor. The code will then chain
additional descriptors to handle this remainder.
With the len variable shadowing, the code will never queue the remaining
data.

This change of the inner working of the platform driver for ARM allows
clients to have permanent open sessions, as long as a policy node matches
the client. If devices disappear from the policy resp. from the set of

and a corresponding device session gets closed. If the device remains
untouched in the configuration but other devices appeared/disappeared, the
device session is not affected.

Pre-allocate all possible type of policy objects as part of the thread meta

Fixes#4333
The commits avoids reading in and allocating memory for all potentially
threads, which are potentially currently not existent (but configured in the
policy beforehand). Instead the policy is read in and evaluated when a thread
is created and policy changes are solely applied to existing/running threads.
By this the commit avoids the increase of memory consumption during the
evaluation of policies during config ROM updates.

This implements the necessary bits to provide 2D framebuffer support on
top of VirtIO GPU device as implemented in Qemu. I don't know if any
other implementation of this specific device exists.
Compared to the ramfb driver which already exists in Genode Virtio FB driver
has one major benefit. It allows Qemu window to be dynamically resized at
runtime. The driver will treat this as resolution change and act accordingly.
Ramfb driver can currently only use the hardcoded 1024x768 screen size. Changing
screen resolution might not sound like a big deal, but it is rather useful to
run Genode on Qemu in full screen mode.
Some more advanced devices like VirtIO GPU do expect they can receive
responses to VirtIO commands they issue via VirtIO queue. Such responses
are not sent via a separate device writeable queue. Instead the driver
is expected to queue some additional descriptors and buffers which the
device can then use to provide the reply.
This patch adds support for such write-data-read-response opeartion to
Genode VirtIO::Queue implementation. The implementation is pretty simple
and does not support any fancy features like receiving the response
asynchronously. Instead the operation will use caller provided callback
to wait for the device to process the command. Once this callback
returns the write-data-read-response VirtIO::Queue function will invoke
another callback passing received response as argument.
Mesa queries information about the underlying device and this header
denotes the layout of the information. It is also used by the driver
itself to populate the 'info_dataspace'.

This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.

Since the top-level node of the output ROM is always generated by the

This patch makes the test less dependent on the rate of state updates by
calculating the upgraded quota from the values found in the state report
instead of simply increasing the '_ram_quota' for each incoming report.
This patch replaces the 'Ram_allocator::alloc' RPC function by a
'try_alloc' function, which reflects errors as 'Attempt' return value
instead of an exception.

The new interfaces are meant to gradually replace the existing
Gpio_session interface.
- Each session refers to a single pin.
- The session types distiguish the direction of the signal as input or
output.
- Pin coordinates can be selected via session labels.
- GPIO interrupts are covered by the regular IRQ session interface.
The interfaces are accompanied by framework utilities and interfaces:
- os/pin_driver.h
- pin_control_session/component.h
- pin_state_session/component.h
These headers relieve GPIO drivers from implementing boilerplate code by
providing device-agnostic portions. The A64 pio driver serves as
reference for using those utilities.

This patch extends the notion of having only one uniquely hovered client
in the presence of held keys.
If motion occurs once a key is pressed (e.g., while dragging), the
receiver of the key sequence observes the motion events. In this case,
we have to submit an artificial leave event to the originally hovered
client so that no more than one client observes itself as being hovered
at the same time. Once the key sequence is finished, the hovering is
updated again, eventually presenting a motion event to the originally
hovered client and a leave event to the receiver of the key sequence.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.
Issue #3767
'Out_of_ram' was so far the only exception a client had to deal with
during buffer managment. Allocating memory, however, does not only
consume RAM quota but CAP quota as well.
This commit tries to mitigate that shortcoming by reflecting the
'Out_of_caps' state back to the client. Furthermore it allows for
resource accounting on certain client allocations, e.g. buffers.
Fixes#4284.
Allocating and mapping buffers not only consumes RAM quota, it consumes
CAP quota as well. Extended the Gpu session to allow for dealing with
that on the client side.
On a side note, the amount of initial CAP quota needed to establish
a connection is increased to cover the current costs of the Intel
GPU multiplexer.
Issue #4284.
The platform driver uses a 'Constrained_ram_allocator' to allocate
meta-data on behave of a client. It uses the PD session as
'Ram_allocator' back end that in return is implemented via the
'Expanding_pd_session_client'.
Whenever the PD client itselft comes into resource shortage it will
ask its parent unconditionally. However, depending on the integration,
such a request may be left unanswered.
This commit introduces a check to prevent that situation from
occurring. In case the platform driver notices the resource shortage
it will reflect that back to the client.

The various mapping methods are modelled after the requirements of
the Intel GPUs or rather the Mesa driver back end.
With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to
sequeeze their requirements in as well. For now hijack 'map_buffer'
to provide for specifying the kind of attributes the client needs.
For now all buffers mapped in the GGTT for Intel GPUs are treated
as RW.
Issue #4265.
This call allows for checking if the given execution buffer has been
completed and complements the completion signal. Initially the GPU
multiplexer always sent such a signal when the currently scheduled
execution buffer has been completed. During enablement of the 'iris'
driver it became necessary to properly check of sequence number.
In case of the Intel GPU multiplexer the sequence numbers are
continous, which prompted the greater-than-or-equal check in the
DRM back end. By hidding this implementation detail behind the
interface, GPU drivers are free to deal with sequence numbers any
way they like and allows for polling in the client, where the
completion signal is now more of a progress signal.
Issue #4265.
The current info implementation (as RPC) is limited in a few ways:
* The amount of data that may be transferred is constrained by the
underlying base platform
* Most information never changes during run time but is copied
nonetheless
* The information differs depending on the used GPU device and
in its current implementation only contains Intel GPU specific
details
With this commit the 'info' RPC call is replaced with the
'info_dataspace' call that transfers the capability for the dataspace
containing the information only. This is complemented by a client
local 'attached_info' call that allows for getting typed access to
the information. The layout of the information is moved to its own
and GPU-specific header file, e.g., 'gpu/info_intel.h'

Rather than using the dataspace capability directly, let the client
choose its own local identifier that is linked to the underlying
capability.

32KB is a rather small value. The driver can cope with it now, but
it does not perform as well as it should. This visible especially
in scenarions like nic_router_flood where we still often hit
synchronous wait path. Bump the size to 256kB.
Issue #4264
The problem can be seen when running nic_router_flood scenarion on arm
qemu_virt boards. With the amount of data this scenario tries to send
the driver quickly complains it has failed to push data into TX VirtIO
queue. After this warning message is printed nothing really happens and
after a while the test scenario fails.
The fact that we can't write all available data to the device is not
unexpected. VirtIO queue size is slected at initialization time and we
don't change it during driver lifetime. It can be tweaked via driver
config, but this does not change the fact that we'll always be able to
produce more data packets than we have free space in the VirtIO queue.
IMO the expected behavior of the driver in such case should be to:
1. Notify the device there is data to process.
2. Wait for the device to process at least part of it.
3. Retry sending queued packets.
One could expect returning Transmit_result::RETRY from _drv_transmit_pkt
would produce such result. Unfortunately it seems that Uplink_client_base
treats RETRY return value as indication of link being down. It'll retry
sending the packet only after the device notifies it the link is once
again up. This is the reason why nothing happens when running
nic_router_flood on top of virtio_nic driver. The link never goes down
in this case so once we fill the TX VirtIO queue and tell the base class
to retry the send, we'll be stuck waiting for link up change event
which will never arrive.
To fix this problem, when sending a packet to the device fails, do a
synchrnonus TX VirtIO queue flush (tell device there is data to process
and wait until its done with it).
With this fix in place nic_router_flood test scenario passes on both arm
qemu_virt boards.

This commit contains features and buf fixes:
* Catch errors during resource allocation
* Because Mesa tries to allocate fence (hardware) registers for each
batch buffer execution, do not allocate new fences for buffer objects
that are already fenced
* Add support for global hardware status page. Each context additionally
has a per-process hardware status page, which we used to set the
global hardware status page during Vgpu switch. This was obviously
wrong. There is only one global hardware status page (set once during
initialization) and a distinct per-process page for contexts.
* Write the sequence number of the currently executing batch buffer to
dword 52 of the per-process hardware status page. We use the pipe line
command with QW_WRITE (quad word write), GLOBAL_GTT_IVB disabled
(address space is per-process address space), and STORE_DATA_INDEX
enabled (write goes to offset of hardware status page). This command
used to write to the scratch page. But Linux now uses the first
reserved word of the per-process hardware status page.
* Add Gen9+ WaEnableGapsTsvCreditFix workaround. This sets the "GAPS TSV
Credit fix Enable" bit of the Arbiter control register (GARBCNTLREG)
as described by the documentation this bit should be set by the BIOS
but is not on most Gen9/9.5 platforms. Not setting this bit leads to
random GPU hangs.
* Increase the context size from 20 to 22 pages for Gen9. On Gen8 the
hardware context is 20 pages (1 hardware status page + 19 ring context
register pages). On Gen9 the size of the ring context registers has
increased by two pages to 21 pages or 81.3125 KBytes as the IGD
documentation states.
* The logical ring size in the ring buffer control of the execlist
context has to be programmed with number of pages - 1. So 0 is 1 page.
We programmed the actual number of pages before, leading to ring
buffer execution of NOOPs if page behind our ring buffer was empty or
GPU hangs if there was data on the page.

With this commit, the NIC router DHCP client reads out the first DNS domain
name (DHCP option 15) if any from a DHCP reply that generates an IPv4 config
for a domain and stores the name together with the IPv4 config for that domain.
DNS domain names are reported via the new report tag '<dns-domain>' if the
'config' attribute in the config tag '<report>' is set.
Furthermore, the NIC router DHCP server becomes able to obtain a DNS domain
name from another domain that has a DHCP client dynamically (given the config
attribute 'dns_config_from' is set and no static DNS config is given) or
statically from its configuration (new config tag '<dns-domain>') and propagate
this name with DHCP replies (DHCP option 15).
The 'nic_router_dhcp_*' tests are adapted to test the new feautures.
The commit also gets rid of some mirrored files in
'test/nic_router_dhcp/manager'.
Fixes#4246
WARNING: BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY!
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
How to adjust:
At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The attribute
value remains unaltered.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The new attribute name 'dns_config_from' reflects that also other aspects of
the DNS configuration of the denominated domain are used by the DHCP server
that holds the attribute. This commit is a preparation for forwarding also the
domain name (DHCP option 15) with the mechanism behind the attribute.
Ref #4246
The fact that the IPv4 config was a struct with all data members public was a
mere leftover of an early state of the NIC router. Today, the router
implementation style is to avoid structs and public data members wherever
possible.
This commit slightly changes the behavior of the router regarding log output.
The router used to print malformed IPv4 configurations to the log only if
the 'verbose' config flag was set using this style:
! [my_domain] malformed dynamic IP config: interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...
Now, malformed IPv4 configurations are only printed if the
'verbose_domain_state' config flag is set (like with any IP4v configuration
states) using this style:
! [my_domain] dynamic IP config: malformed (interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...)
Fixes#4242
The NIC router DHCP server used to add an extra option 6 field to DHCP replies
for each DNS server address. This conflicts with RFC #2132 section 3.8 which
states that the addresses should be listed within one option 6 field without
delimiter. The discrepancy is fixed by this commit.
Ref #4242
Via a new configuration attribute, the user can decide whether the router
should answer dropped fragmented IPv4 with an ICMP "destination unreachable"
packet and, if so, which value the ICMP code field of this packet should have.
The default is that the router doesn't send such responses (silently dropping
fragmented IPv4). The behavior is tested by the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Fixes#4236
If the new attribute 'dropped_fragm_ipv4' of the <report> tag in the NIC router
config is set "yes", the router will report the number of packets that were
dropped per interface respectively domain because fragmented IPv4 is not
supported. The default is not to report the counter. The behavior is tested by
the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Ref #4236
The NIC router used to ignore the IPv4 header fields "More fragments" and
"Fragment offset" completely. Therefore higher-level protocols of fragmented
IPv4 were interpreted wrong because each fragment was considered a self-
standing packet, expecting, for instance UDP/TCP headers somewhere inside of
the UDP/TCP data field. Normally, such packets were dropped as soon as the
UDP/TCP checksum check failed because of the misinterpretation. However,
it was also possible for fragmented IPv4 to pass the router although normally
only partially.
IPv4 fragmentation support in the router would introduce some potential
security risks and is presumably not an easy endeavor. So, for now, we settled
on not supporting IPv4 fragmentation. With this commit, the router simply drops
all fragmented IPv4. This is reflected to the log for each fragment as "drop
packet (fragmented IPv4 not supported)" when 'verbose_packet_drop="yes"' is
configured.
The new test 'run/nic_router_ipv4_fragm' is an automated test for this
behavior. The test is added to the autopilot list.

BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY:
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
HOW TO ADJUST:
At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays the
same.
The term "uplink" for network interfaces in the router that have a NIC session
client as back end was introduced in a time when Uplink sessions didn't yet
exist. Now, they do and, although both an uplink and an Uplink session
normally describe a network session between router and network device driver,
they are based on two different service types (NIC and Uplink). This can easily
cause confusion when integrating the router (the <uplink> is not related to
Uplink sessions) or trying to understand its functioning (an 'Uplink' object
has nothing to do with the Uplink service).
Therefore, this commit introduces the more specific term "NIC client" for an
interface that is based on a NIC session requested by the router. This doesn't
imply any semantic changes at the NIC router. However, the commit also brings a
broader update of the router's README and removes the term "downlink" that was
used only in documentation to refer to interfaces backed by a NIC session
provided by the router. The term was only associated with this meaning because
it is the natural counterpart to an uplink. This isn't appropriate anymore as
the terms for interface types have moved to a more technical level.
The commit adjusts all scenarios in the basic Genode repositories properly.
Fixes#4238
An interface that received a signal for a link-state change accessed its
domain reference without assuming that it could not be attached to a domain
at that moment. This caused the NIC router to crash with an uncaught exception
of type 'Net::Pointer<Net::Domain>::Invalid'. The commit adds a catch
directive for this exception resulting in the handler doing nothing if not
attached to any domain.
Fixes#4222
The test script failed during preparation of the on-target execution for
USB Armory with the following error:
! can't read "tz_vmm_block_irq": no such variable
Presumably, the script wasn't run anymore since the introduction of the
'tz_vmm_block_irq' variable for i.MX53 QSB. As we do not have infrastructure
for automated testing of the USB Armory and there seems to be not much
interest in using Genode on this platform, this commit simply removes the
support from the script.
Filtering boards in a run script by specs isn't the right way anymore (the
specs do not exist anymore). Nowadays, we have to use [have_board] instead.
