Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4502
Instead of returning an invalid device capability when a device
is (not yet) available, e.g. a PCI device is requested before the
PCI bus got parsed accordingly, we check the device capability
within the Platform::Connection utilities, and register temporarily
an Io_signal_handler to wait for changes of the devices ROM, and
try the device aquisition again. Thereby, simple drivers so not have
to take the burden to do so.
To enable this feature for all drivers, we always have to export a
devices ROM, but limit the information about physical resources
(I/O memory addresses, IRQ numbers, I/O port ranges) to clients with
'info=yes' in their policy description.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4496
By adding a 'report' node to the platform driver's configuration
one can enable either devices or config reports. The devices
report contains all devices and their detailed state, as well as
whether it is already in use or not. The config report contains
one by one the current configuration of the platform driver.
Moreover, this commit adds a README file describing the facilities
of the platform driver.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4386
If PCI devices happen to miss complete configuration after boot, the
platform driver supports <pci-fixup> nodes for concrete devices
(specified by bus-device-functions tuples). The
<bar> node instructs the platform driver to remap BAR id 0 to address
0x4017002000, which amends the BIOS configuration and is stringently
required for BARs with address 0.
! <pci-fixup bus="0" device="0x15" function="3">
! <bar id="0" address="0x4017002000"/>
! </pci-fixup>
The issue was discovered with Intel LPSS devices in Fujitsu notebooks.
Fixes#4501
To discharge the generic platform driver from certain PCI bus scanning,
and ACPI + kernel specifics, this commit introduces a new component,
which consumes the acpi drivers report and the platform_info from core
to prepare a devices ROM for the platform driver that contains all
PCI devices and its resources.

USB Attached SCSI devices might expose a bulk-only interface
as fall-back at interface 0 and alternate setting 0. This commit
allows for probing all alternate settings of the active interface
to be able to use such devices.
The configuration was extended so that in case the device interface
is known beforehand the driver can be configured accordingly.
Fixes#4494.
Since the driver relies on all requests being Nvme::MPS_LOG2 aligned
as advertised in its Block::Info the added check will reject any
misaligned requests (using 'gpt_write' led to an IOMMU write fault).

Issue #4474
Before this commit, the block-request handler was implemented as
Io_signal_handler and, additionally, the USB driver called the
block-request handler on request completion directly on I/O level. This
is generally a bad idea because I/O handlers should avoid to have direct
global side effects. In contrast, application logic should be
implemented in way that it consumes atomic state changes after I/O
completed. Now USB I/O completion locally submits a signal to the
block-request Signal_handler.
The Uplink_test used to end in an uncaucht exception about a failed packet
allocation on several x86_32 platforms.
* Destruct and re-construct the corresponding TX packet allocator during a
link-down-up step in the Uplink test. Fixes the exceptions but results in a
never ending test.
* Decouple the link-down-up steps from the handling of packet stream signals
by simply triggering it with a local periodic timeout of 1 sec period.
This prevents that the Uplink_test never finishes because it destructs the
Uplink connection too often.
* The test finishes not before at least 3 link-down-up steps were executed.
* Replace the Allocator_avl's used for the TX packet allocators of the Nic

The NIC router used to handle each type of packet-stream signal with a distinct
method in the Interface class. However, merging those methods has advantages.
It ensures that sent packets that were already acknowledged by the counter side
are always released before handling received packets. This frees packet stream
memory which facilitates the potential allocation of response packets while
handling received packets. Furthermore, it simplifies the code and reduces the
number of entry points into the router.
This commit also removes the installation of signal handlers at packet streams
for events that are of no interest for the router (TX-ready-to-ack /
RX-ready-to-submit at NIC sessions and RX-ready-to-ack / TX-ready-to-submit at
Uplink sessions).
Fixes#4470
Whenever the nic_router encounters ARP requests on an interface
that does not have a valid IP config it will ignore them. However,

The NIC router did update the IP config of a domain on a completed DHCP
REQUEST but not on completed DHCP RENEW or DHCP REBIND. Thus, it didn't adapt
to "real" DHCP servers (not NIC router servers) that got restarted with a
changed configuration by the means of RENEW/REBIND. The commit fixes this.
Note, that testing this is complicated as we don't have the necessary
infrastructure (we cannot simply use the DHCP server of the NIC router as this
would apply a link down/up sequence in order to let the client restart DHCP)

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.

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

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.

This commit changes the touch-click filter to adhere the following
sequence:
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.

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'.

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

'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).

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:

Selection of mandatory /config files. If not specified, the respective
'default' alternative will be used.

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.
Fixes#4369
Fix some trivial cases where the signedness of the constant value does
not match the signedness of type the code expects to see. GCC can be
asked to warn about those by passing Wsign-covnersion flag.
Issue #4354
This comes up when building the code with clang 13. It happens due to
recently enabled Wconversion warning, which in case of clang also
enables implicit-int-conversion warning. The warning reads:
fs_file_system.h:937:44: error: higher order bits are zeroes after
implicit conversion [-Werror,-Wimplicit-int-conversion]
::File_system::Watch_handle fs_handle { -1U };
~~~~~~~~~ ^~~
This can be fixed by properly specifying fs_handle value to be of
unsigned long type.
Issue #4354
Remove '_expected_offset' check on round trip test from RX packet,
because allocators between RX/TX can have different allocation
strategies. Rely on 'pattern' check for RX packets only.
In loopback server alloc size must match actual packet size.
issue #4312
Override 'try_alloc/free' because ethernet frame headers are 14 bytes
(src/dst mac (12) + ethertype (2)) causing the IP header to be 2 byte
aligned, leading to problems on platforms that require load/store
operations to be naturally aligned when reading, for example, 4 byte IP
addresses. Therefore, we align the allocation to 2 bytes, so the IP
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.
Issue #4327
Share datastructures for clock, power and reset related configurations
per device. In the generic platform driver component these structures
are kept empty. Driver derivates can fill the clocks settings, power and
reset switches with life. The former Driver::Env gets removed.
Fix#4338
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
available devices (hotplug), the devices ROM of the session gets updated,
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.

* Only give managing_system permission when all parent nodes of the
corresponding component agree in doing so.
* Move the physical memory constrains heuristic from sandbox library to core
Fix#4335
* Track all caps and ram quotas of the sub-sessions properly
* Release DMA buffers, it is not done implicitely when destroying
the Constrained_ram_allocator
* Do not replenish quota before really releasing memory from
the allocator
Issue #4330
The Session_component must be destroyed before updating the device
model because the Session_component must also release all previously
acquired devices. If the device model is updated before, the devices
might have been removed.
Issue #4330
Pre-allocate all possible type of policy objects as part of the thread meta
state to avoid increased memory consumption due to different policy object
sizes. The cpu_balancer accounts the memory per client and can't forward
potentially occurring out-of-ram exceptions during config-ROM update phases.
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.
Issue #4333
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 filter bridges the gap between a touchscreen driver, which
generates raw touch events and traditional GUI applications that expect
a pointer (absolute motion, press/release of the left mouse button).
Fixes#4332
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'.
Issue #4324
Since the top-level node of the output ROM is always generated by the
rom_filter, there is no way to pass-through the content of an input ROM
without wrapping in an addition XML node.
genodelabs/genode#4326
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.
