The alarm library failed to handle the case properly where an already
scheduled alarm gets rescheduled before it triggered. Even though the
attempt to reschedule the alarm (twice insertion into alarm queue) was
detected, this condition resulted in the mere modification of the
alarm's parameters while keeping the alarm's queue position unchanged.
This, in turn, may violate the invariant that all enqueued alarm objects
are strictly ordered by their deadlines. The patch handles the case by
dequeuing the alarm object before reinserting it into the queue at the
right position.
Fixes#1646
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
In line with the Audio_out session a Audio_in session is used to
record audio frames. Like in the Audio_out session shared memory
in form of the Audio_in::Stream is used to transport the frames
from the server to the client. These frames consist of single
channel (mono) samples. An Audio_in::Packet always contains a full
period of frames.
A Audio_in server captures frames and puts them into the
Audio_in::Stream. To do so the server allocates a Audio_in::Packet
from the packet queue embedded in the Audio_in::Stream. If the queue
is already full, the server will override packets and notify the
client by submitting the 'overrun' signal. The client has to cope
with this situation, e.g., by saving packets more frequently.
A client will also receive a 'progress' signal from the server when
a new Audio_in::Packet was submitted to the packet queue.
Fixes#1644.
To archive lower latency the length of a period was reduced from
2048 (~46ms) to 512 (~11.6ms) samples.
It should be noted that this change probably breaks audio in Qemu on
most systems.

If some sessions run out of memory in init, resource requests will be issued
to core, which it never will satisfy. Setting some default signal handler
avoids that the default implementation will block init for ever.
Issue #1632
The timer driver previously used floating point operations to translate us to
tics and vice versa. This isn't necessary as the rounding error isn't critical
for the given values but expensive which should be avoided in a code path that
must be executed pretty frequent with high priority.
Ref #1628
This commit eliminates the mutual interlaced taking of destruction lock,
list lock and weak pointer locks that could lead to a dead-lock situation
when a lock pointer was tried to construct while a weak object is in
destruction progress.
Now, all weak pointers are invalidated and dequeued at the very
beginning of the weak object's destruction. Moreover, before a weak pointer
gets invalidated during destruction of a weak object, it gets dequeued, and
the list lock is freed again to avoid the former dead-lock.
Fix#1607
The timer driver on X86 needs CPU quota with highest priority as it
frequently has to interrupt the counters to update the PIT.
On ARM this makes no difference in the test results as ARM timer
drivers, once configured, can sleep until the end of the timeouts.
On X86 we raise the error tolerance to 2% (default 1%) to compensate
the error caused by the timer.
Fixes#1621
Printing all errors and the goal values instead of exiting at the first
error allows for faster analysis of problems with the CPU-quota
mechanism.

The test always succeeded because I forgot to set the error tolerance from
my debugging value 1 back to the correct value 0.01 before commiting the

Init used to specify the unique child name as session label when
requesting the binary image of a dynamically linked child. The actual
module name was propagated as "filename" session argument. Since we want
to move towards the sole use of the session label, which can be taken
into account for the session routing, the module name should always be
the last part of a ROM session label.
This patch changes the window manager, the decorator, and the
floating window layouter to propagate the usage of an alpha channel from
the client application to the decorator. This way, the decorator can
paint the decoration elements behind the affected windows, which would
otherwise be skipped.
This patch changes the way how CLI monitor obtains its subsystem
configurations. Originally, this information was provided via the
Genode::config mechanism. But for managing complex scenarios, the config
node becomes very complex. Hence, it is preferrable to have a distinct
file for each subsystem configuration.
The CLI monitor scans the directory '/subsystems' for files ending with
".subsystem". Each file has the same syntax as the formerly used
subsystem nodes.
Removed the Nic::Driver implementation. All nic servers now inherit from
Nic::Session_component. Packet stream signals are dispatched to
the 'handle_packet_stream' function within a session component. Thus, nic
servers now have direct access to the packet stream channels, making handling
more flexible.
Adjusted nic_loobpack, dde_ipxe, wifi, usb, lan9118, Linux nic, and OpenVPN to
the new interface.
Fixes#1602
While importing trace sources as trace subjects into a TRACE session,
the session quota might become depleted. The TRACE session already keeps
track of the session quota via an allocator guard but the 'subjects' RPC
function missed to handle the out-of-memory condition. This patch
reflects the error condition as an 'Out_of_metadata' exception to the
TRACE client. It also contains an extension of the trace test to
exercise the corner case.
This patch enable clients of core's TRACE service to obtain the
execution times of trace subjects (i.e., threads). The execution time is
delivered as part of the 'Subject_info' structure.
Right now, the feature is available solely on NOVA. On all other base
platforms, the returned execution times are 0.
Issue #813
This patch bases the size of the destination buffer in
'Init::Child_policy_redirect_rom_file' on the maximum label size
instead of the filename size. Otherwise, the use of a long configfile
name (i.e., "trace_subject_reporter.config") in combination with a long
child name ("trace_subject_reporter") would result in a truncated label
string.
When replacing a report with a smaller one, the corresponding ROM
dataspace should not contain any traces of the old report. Otherwise,
the consumer of the ROM dataspace may mistake the stale content as
meaningful information. This is particularly annoying when manually
inspecting reports. This patch overwrites the stale content with zeros.
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.
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.

Step to move shared irq handling out of core in the long run. So, use
irq_proxy implementation from base in os and implement shared irq handling
in platform driver of x86 (pci_drv).
Fixes#1471
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.
Ref #1464
Use the new asynchronous IRQ interface in the mostly used drivers, e.g.:
* ahci_drv: x86/exynos5
* gpio_drv: imx53/omap4
* input_drv: imx53/dummy
* ps2_drv: x86/pl050
* timer_drv
Now, the Irq_session is requested from Gpio::Session:
From now on we use an asynchronous IRQ interface. To prevent triggering
another GPIO IRQ while currently handling the former one, IRQs must
now by acknowledged explicitly. While here, we also changed the GPIO
session interface regarding IRQ management. The generic GPIO component
now wraps the Irq_session managed by the backend instead of using the
GPIO backend methods directly. A client using the GPIO session may
request the Irq_session_capability by calling
'Gpio::Session::irq_session()' and can use this capability when using
a local Irq_session_client.

Currently, the 'pointed session' gets updated only when an input event
occurs, but an update is also needed in other situations, for example
when the view under the current mouse position was moved.
With this commit, the 'pointed session' gets updated whenever the
timer-triggered 'handle_input()' function is called.
Fixes#1473
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
The driver operates in PIO mode only. Depending on the block size (512
bytes versus 128 KiB), it has a troughput of 2 MiB/sec - 10 MiB/sec for

This patch enhances the generic SD-card protocol implementation in
sd-card.h with the ability to handle the version 1.0 of the CSD register
(containing the capacity information of older SD cards).
The emergency dataspace is used to accommodate the corner case where
a signal context capability is created while issuing the first
resource request. Normally, the attempt to upgrade the signal-session
quota under such a constrained situation would fail. By freeing the
emergency dataspace in this situation, we regain enough quota to
upgrade the signal session.
This is a follow up commit for "base: Raise RAM quota of signal session
to 16K" and fixes the resource_request test on 64-bit platforms.
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
If a client acknowledges the same packet more than once, the packet also
gets freed more than once. At the second attempt the underlaying
Bit_array will throw an 'Invalid_clear' exception, which results in an
uncaught exception that leads to an abort() call in the freeing
component.
Fixes#1462.
The driver for the Freescale eSDHCv2 doesn't support the highest
available bus frequency by now and also the bus width may be set to a
higher value but that needs further checks on the capabilities of the
inserted card.
The commits provide a benchmark as it exists for the OMAP4 SDHC driver.
Fix#1458
The GUID partition table (GPT) is primarily used by systems using
(U)EFI and is a replacement for the legacy MBR. For now, the current
implementation is able to address up to 128 GUID partition entries
(GPE).
To enable the GPT support in 'part_blk' it has to be configured
accrodingly:
! <start name="part_blk">
! [...]
! <config use_gpt="yes">
! [...]
! </start>
If 'part_blk' is not able to find a valid GPT header it falls back
to using the MBR.
Current limitations:
Since no endian conversion takes place it only works on LE platforms
and of all characters in the UTF-16 encoded name field of an entry
only the ones included in the ASCII encoding are printed. It also
ignores all GPE attributes.

Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.

For the USB-Armory, we use a newer version of Linux (3.18) as for the

When building Genode for VEA9X4 as micro-hypervisor protected by the ARM
TrustZone hardware we ran into limitations regarding our basic daily
testing routines. The most significant is that, when speaking about RAM
partitioning, the only available options are to configure the whole SRAM
to be secure and the whole DDR-RAM to be non-secure or vice versa. The
SRAM however provides only 32 MB which isn't enough for both a
representative non-secure guest OS or a secure Genode that is still
capable of passing our basic tests. This initiated our decision to
remove the VEA9X4 TrustZone-support.
Fixes#1351
Declaring the SP804 0/1 module and its interrupt to be non-secure prevents the
secure Genode from receiving the interrupt and hence the timer driver in the
secure Genode doesn't work.

The commit uses a fixed kernel branch (r8), which fixes a caching bug

Fixes#1338
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.
! <start name="test">
! <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>
This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test". Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.
The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.
Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.
This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.

The way this function is currently used in dde_linux expects this
function to return. Since there is dde_kit_panic it should better
be used in such a case the output should block.
This patch ensures that priority values passed as session arguments
are within the valid range of priorities. Without the clamping, a child
could specify a priority of a lower priority band than the one assigned
to the subsystem. Thanks to Johannes Schlatow for reporting this issue.

The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
The new 'session_control' function can be used to perform operations on
the global view stack that span one or multiple sessions, e.g., bringing
all views of specific sessions to the front, or hiding them.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
This patch add an optional alpha argument to the constructor, which may
be passed to a pixel type representing an alpha channel. Furthermore,
a new overload of the mix function has been added to accommodate use
cases where one texture is applied to both a pixel surface and an alpha
channel.
