Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

Conveying the ROM filename as the final label element simplifies
routing policy and session construction.
Annotations by nfeske:
This commit also changes the ROM session to use base/log.h instead of
base/printf.h, which produced build error of VirtualBox because the
vbox headers have a '#define Log', which collides with the content of
base/log.h. Hence, this commit has to take precautions to resolve this
conflict.
The commit alse refines the previous session-label change by adding a
new 'Session_label::prefix' method and removing the use of 'char const *'
from this part of the API.

Session_label constructor now takes a bare string rather than a

This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all
kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of
base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.
This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.
Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.
Issue #1993
In addition to modernizing the component now also supports using
empty RAM dataspace as backing store.
For example to use an ISO file the component has to be configured
as follows:
! <config file="image.iso" block_size="2048"/>
To use a empty RAM dataspace that is 256MiB large and has a block
size of 4KiB the configuration looks like this:
! <config size="256M" block_size="4096"/>
Either 'size' or 'file' has to specified. If both are declared the
'file' attribute is soley evaluated.

This is an interim fix for solving the quota leakage problem of

This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the

slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
* Adds public timeout syscalls to kernel API
* Kernel::timeout installs a timeout and binds a signal context to it that

* With Kernel::timeout_max_us, one can get the maximum installable timeout
* Kernel::timeout_age_us returns the time that has passed since the
calling threads last timeout installation
* Removes all device specific back-ends for the base-hw timer driver and

* Adds assertions about the kernel timer frequency that originate from the
requirements of the the kernel timeout API and adjusts all timers
accordingly by using the their internal dividers
* Introduces the Kernel::Clock class. As member of each Kernel::Cpu object
it combines the management of the timer of the CPU with a timeout scheduler.
Not only the timeout API uses the timeout scheduler but also the CPUs job
scheduler for installing scheduling timeouts.
* Introduces the Kernel::time_t type for timer tic values and values inherited
from timer tics (like microseconds).

This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.
A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.
To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a

Fixes#1939
These warnings are triggered by requests either using byte offsets or
reading a number of bytes that is not a multiple of the block size as

This patch supplements each existing connection type with an new
constructor that is meant to replace the original one. The new
one takes a reference to the component's environment as argument and
thereby does not rely on the presence of the globally accessible
'env()' interface.
The original constructors are marked as deprecated. Once we have
completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.
Fixes#1960
Replace size_t by uint8_t in accessors for the IPv4 header fields
'version' and 'header_length' - uint8_t is the smallest integral type
for 4 bit of information. Note, as the _internet header length_ field is
defined to reflect the number of 32-bit words the header occupies, we
also stick to the specification with our accessor.
Issue #1915
It turns out that the name function does not have much use in practice
except for naming the thread of the component's initial entrypoint. For
dynamically linked components, this thread is created by the dynamic
linker. It is named "ep" in these cases. Considering that we will
eventually turn all regular components into dynamically linked
executables, the additional information provided by the
Component::name() function remains unused. So it is better to not bother
the component developers with adding boilerplate code.
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch moves the base library from src/base to src/lib/base,
flattens the library-internal directory structure, and moves the common
parts of the library-description files to base/lib/mk/base.inc and

Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and
comments only) that I encountered while browsing the result.
Fixes#1952
We report UNLINK_ERR_NO_PERM only for files in TAR archive, otherwise
UNLINK_ERR_NO_ENTRY is returned. This permits the arbitrary layering of
file systems with support for proper ENOENT reporting, for example,
when using 'rm -f non_existent_file' that aborts if EPERM is wrongly
reported.
The original 'Env' interface as returned by 'Genode::env()' has been
renamed to 'Env_deprecated' and moved to deprecated/env.h. The new version
of base/env.h contains the interface passed to modern components that
use the component API via base/component.h.
Issue #1832
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.
Note the API change:
This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.
Issue #1938
Since the dynamic linker depends on the XML utils and we plan to replace
the ancient 'Arg_string' with XML, it is time to move the 'Xml_node' and
'Xml_generator' to base/include.
We will eventually remove the delivery of the number of occurred signals
to the recipient. There haven't been any convincing use cases for this
feature. In the contrary, it actually led to wrong design choices in the
past where the rate of signals carried information (such as the progress
of time) that should better be obtained via an explicit RPC call.
The old 'Signal_rpc_member' template retains the old interface for now.
But the new 'Signal_handler' omits the 'unsigned' argument from the
handler function.
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
Currently the report name is used implicitly as first xml node name for the

This commit introduces the new `Component` interface in the form of the
headers base/component.h and base/entrypoint.h. The os/server.h API
has become merely a compatibilty wrapper and will eventually be removed.

moved to base/signal.h and is now called 'Signal_handler'.

This patch removes the support for executing subsystems of CLI monitor
within the GDB monitor. There are multiple reasons: First, the feature
remained unused for multiple years. Second, it relied on the base/elf.h
header to determine whether the started binary is dynamically or
statically linked. This header, however, is going to be removed from the
Genode API. Third, the feature will eventually break with the upcoming
changes of how components are bootstrapped. Finally, there is the plan
to turn CLI monitor into a sole front end of a dynamically configurable
init component. Once we pursue this plan, we'd need to reconsider the
GDB support anyway.
Issue #1832
In addition to now using the framework the playback is triggered by a
timer. For now it is a periodic timer that triggers every 11 ms which
is roughly the current Audio:out period (*).
The driver now also behaves like the other BSD Audio_out driver, i.e,
it always advances the play pointer. That is vital for the Audio_out
stack above the driver to work properly (e.g. the mixer).
(*) It stands to reason if it would be better to use the async ALSA
timer interface instead of using the Timer session.
Fixes#1892.
This driver uses the Usb session interface and provides a Block session
to its client. See _repos/os/src/drivers/usb_block/README' for more
information.
Fixes#1885.
Instead of only hardcoding "hw" read 'alsa_device' attribute from the
config node to determine the proper playback device. The default value
is still "hw" in case the attribute is not present.
Fixes#1884.
The driver might end up in an endless loop on systems that do not
contain an i8042 controller when probing the AUX interface. This
leads to busy looping and in the end to not annoucing the Input
service. Components that wait for the announcement of the service
will therefore hang as well.
Normally a service gets announced only if it is usable but in this
case this is inconvient because it renders all scenarios that use
the input_merger non working on x86 systems that only provide USB
input and do not have PS/2 at all.
Ideally, the PS/2 driver should only be started if the system needs it.
That is currently not feasible and for the time being we post-pone the
inevitable and back down after several unsucessful attempts to read
from the AUX interface while initializing the driver.
Fixes#1871.
The 'usb_report_filter' component takes the devices report from the
USB driver and generates a new devices report after checking each

Now, the right PCI bus:device:function (BDF) is reported to the kernel

Fixes#1796.
Since all Audio_out server components loop over the packet stream
queue it is save to reset the tail position to one after the play
position. We have to do this because we do not know exactly when
the play position changes (i.e. the driver has processed the packet)
and we might end up with a tail position before the current play
position.

This patch changes the decorator to always apply stacking-order changes
immediately instead of deferring the re-stacking of the nitpicker views
to the next call of 'update_nitpicker_views'. The deferred application
did not always work when more then one windows changed their stacking
position at once because the cached '_neighbor' values interfered with
each other.
The eager re-stacking should not have negative effects on the user
experience because, in contrast to re-positioning, re-stacking a rare
operation.
This change makes it possible to reuse the generic window decorator
classes in include/decorator/ for decorators of a different structure.
E.g., instead of painting decorations on a single nitpicker session,
each window may paint its decorations into additional window-specific
nitpicker sessions.
In the event where a nitpicker session's quota was depleted by the
allocation of view handles, nitpicker would abort. The patch prevents
the abort by reflecting this condition as an Out_of_metadata exception
to the client. This way, the client can upgrade its session as needed.
The problem was triggered by running the decorator_stress test (changed
to generate 40 windows) with the themed_decorator.
This patch addresses the corner case that the specified neighbor view
is the first view of the view stack. If this is the case when inserting
the view in front of the neighbor (behind == false), the target position
within the view stack must be a null pointer, not the first view.
Because the conditions have become rather complicated, both cases
of 'behind' are handled separately now.
The notion of a channel is shared by the mixer backend as well as the
frontend. To make dealing with reports between those easier move the
Channel definition to a global header.

This patch introduces a shortcut for conditional session routes of the
form '<if-arg key="label" value="..."/>'. With this change, the label

and I hope to be able to ultimately remove it.
Currently, when a signal arrives in the main thread, the signal dispatcher is
retrieved and called from the main thread, the dispatcher uses a proxy object
that in turn sends an RPC to the entry point. This becomes a problem when the
entry point destroys the dispatcher object, before the dispatch function has
been called by the main thread. Therefore, the main thread should simply send an
RPC to the entry point upon signal arrival and the dispatching should be handled
solely by the entry point.

Issue #1712
This patch moves the formerly internal classes of the report-ROM service
to the public location os/include/report_rom/ so that they can be reused
by other components such as the upcoming clipboard.
This overload of the value member eases the retrieval of Genode::String
objects from XML attributes. So we won't need to deal with C-style
character buffers anymore.
The utilities in os/session_policy.h used to be tailored for the
matching of session arguments against a server-side policy
configuration. However, the policy-matching part is useful in other
situations, too. This patch removes the tight coupling with the
session-argument parsing (via Arg_string) and the hard-wired use of
'Genode::config()'.
To make the utilities more versatile, the 'Session_label' has become a
'Genode::String' (at the time when we originally introduced the
'Session_label', there was no 'Genode::String'). The parsing of the
session arguments happens in the constructor of this special 'String'.
The constructor of 'Session_policy' now takes a 'Genode::String' as
argument. So it can be used with the 'Session_label' but also with other
'String' types. Furthermore, the implicit use of 'Genode::config()' can
be overridden by explicitly specifying the config node as an argument.
Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly
kill subsystems but both used to ignore gracefully exiting subsystems.
It was the user's job to remove the remains of those subsystems. The
patch takes the burden of manually killing exited subsystems from the
user.

* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
Fix#1697
The intention of Packet_ref was to allow clients to place opaque
references into the packet descriptor itself, which could be observed on
packet completion. Currently no component in our sources uses this
feature and beyond that it is questionable if it should be used at all:
If the server tampers with the ref the client may easily be confused
into observing an incorrect or invalid context. It seems better to
remove the opaque context from the descriptor and leave the actual
implementation to the client and its needs.
This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:
<start name="noux">
<exit propagate="yes"/>
...
</start>
If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.
Fixes#1686
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
This scripts starts two Audio_out session clients. These clients
access the soundcard via the mixer. The first client simply streams
a sample file in a loop while the second client generates a click
sound when any key is pressed.
Issue #1666.
Sometimes, the play position in stream is behind the out stream, mostly
because of timing issue. In this case, the mixer will produce invalid
packets which in return will lead to looping on an invalid packet in
the audio_drv.
Issue #1666.
For some platforms (at least hw_zynq on Qemu), the measured time of the
periodic timeout test exceeded the maximum that was previously
calculated without any tolerance. Most likely, this is not a malfunction
of the test subject as the error is pretty small and, of course,
measuring the time produces overhead itself. Introducing a tolerance of
only 0.1% fixes the problem.
Fixes#1599
Instead of returning pointers to locked objects via a lookup function,
the new object pool implementation restricts object access to
functors resp. lambda expressions that are applied to the objects
within the pool itself.
Fix#884Fix#1658
If a requested report already exists the request is denied with
Invalid_args.
Further, I dusted the report_rom test and added it to the
autopilot list.
