The 'file_size' type denotes the size of files on disk in bytes. On
32-bit architectures it is larger than the size_t, which refers to
in-memory object sizes.
Whereas the use of 'file_size' is appropriate for ftruncate and seek, it
is not a suitable type for the parameters of read/write operations
because those operations refer to in-memory buffers.
This patch replaces the use of 'file_size' by size_t. However, since it
affects all sites where the read/write interface is uses, it takes the
opportunity to replace the C-style (pointer, size) arguments by
'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr'.
Issue #4706
The screenshot trigger displays a little red dot at the upper-left
corner of the screen. When touched or clicked-on, it generates an
artificial key-press-release sequence for the print key and disappears
for one second. In this time, a separate screenshot component can handle
the print key by capturing the screen without the red dot appearing in
the saved picture.
The touch-keyboard config accepts the new attributes 'opaque="yes"
and 'background=#112233' to control the dialog background. The
attributes are passed unmodified to embedded the menu view.
This patch add the support needed for implementing on-target
system-update functionality. The new 'empty' method is required for the
two-step procedure of updating image-index files - removing the old
index, followed by downloading the most current one. It is used to the
detect the completion of the first step.

This patch replaces the generic "In progress..." message by slightly

This patch enhances the depot_download subsystem with support for
downloading and querying system images.
The installation ROM support the following two now download types:
<image_index path="<user>/image/index"/>
<image path="<user>/image/<name>"/>
Internally, the depot-download subsystem employs the depot-query
component to determine the missing depot content. This component
accepts the following two new queries:
<images user="..."/>
<image_index user="..."/>
If present in the query, depot_query generates reports labeled as
"images" and "image_index" respectively.
The also tracks the completion of each job depending on the depot-
query results, so that the final report contains a result for each
installation item requested. Prior this patch, the inactivity of the
depot-download manager (indicated by an empty state report) was
interpreted as success. But that prevents the proper association of
results and requested installation items.
Issue #4744
The 'scan' query for depot users used to list the names of depot users.
However, the URL and existence of a pubkey is useful to know when
assembling a GUI menu from this list.
Issue #4744
Each time when enlarging the menu view, a new 'Gui_buffer' is
constructed with the new size. At its contruction time, the default
reset background color is in effect, which is evaluated by
'reset_surface' as part of the construction. A custom reset color
takes effect only after the construction. Hence, when the Gui_buffer is
flushed to screen immediately at construction time, the gray default
becomes visible for a short time.
This patch changes the Gui_buffer to accept the reset background color
as construction argument so that it takes immediate effect.

With the new 'presets:' tag, .sculpt files can now refer to deploy
configurations to be integrated in the presets/ subdirectory of the
config file system. Those files can thereby be used as preconfigured
system scenarios. Such a preconfigured scenario can be loaded at
runtime by copying the preset file to config/deploy.
Issue #4731
This patch simplifies the 'Deploy::update_managed_deploy_config'
interface by keeping an internal copy of the currently used deploy
template inside the 'Deploy' class. The template is updated whenever
the config/deploy file is modified.
This change weakens the coupling between the '_manual_deploy_rom' and
the '_deploy' subsystem, easing the upcoming implementation of the
switching between presets.
When writing the GPT header, the tool always wrote the GPT entries
belonging to the primary header to LBA following the header. Normally
this is LBA 2 as the header is located in LBA 1. The GPT allows for
up to 128 entries that all in all cover 16 KiB of storage space.
However, on some systems, e.g. ARM-based machines, the bootloader can
be stored in this region. For this reason the GPT entries may be moved
to a different LBA.
This commit changes the tool to adhere to then given GPE LBA in header
when writing out the modified GPT data.

The old 'Io_response_handler::io_progress_response' interface has been

This patch keeps driving the internal state machines until no progress
can be made. This required fixing the return values of several execute
functions, which used to report progress while being in complete state.
Along the way, the patch removes default switch cases to ensure that all
states are covered.
Issue #4706
By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.
Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.

This patch removes the 'Insufficient_buffer' exception by returning the
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK result value instead. It also eliminates the

This patch fosters the batching of network packets transferred by the
lwIP stack over the NIC connection. It replaces the eager submission of
the packet-stream's data-flow signals by explicit wakeup notifications.
The commit also increases the NIC session's buffer size from 128 to 1024
packets.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.
Issue #4697
The commit "sculpt_manager: relax nic_drv policy label" introduced the use of
the "label_prefix" attribute instead of "label" for the uplink policy in the
NIC router. However, it missed an appropriate adaption of the lookup of that
attribute when the Sculpt manager has to decide which uplink is used in a
manually managed router config. This caused the uplink to disappear whenever a
user created a manually managed router config. This commit fixes the problem.

Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
The platform driver configuration is missing the required 'info'
attribute that allows the 'vesa_fb_drv' to map the proper I/O
memory address of the framebuffer. In addition the driver requires
at least '2' more CAPs, so raise the quota to '110'.
Fixes#4668.
This patch makes the component graph better reusable for the phone
version of Sculpt. In the phone version, the '+' menu does not exist.
So we need to omit the corresponding button. Furthermore, the storage
dialog is presented in a dedicate section of the GUI instead of
presenting it inside the 'storage' graph node. The phone version
also does not offer the inspect view. So we need to omit the
corresponding buttons.
When using the newer genode_c_api uplink library, an uplink connection uses
the device name as label, which enables integrators to use different policies
resp. routes for different devices driven by one driver. The nic_drv policy
of the nic_roouter configuration generated by the sculpt_manager however uses
an empty label like: "nic_drv -> ". This is the way how existent NIC drivers,
like ipxe_nic_drv requested their uplink session. To support both driver
variants this commit relaxes the policy by checking for a prefix only.

Issue #4631
This patch reflects both the pci_decode results and the platform
driver's aggregated device information in Sculpt's /report/drivers/ in
the form of pci_devices and devices files respectively.
Until now, the /config/system ROM was not handled by the sculpt manager
but solely managed by the user. Its main purpose was the ability to
reset or power-down the machine by manually modifying the 'state'
attribute. However, down the road, we'd like to enable the sculpt
manager to drive this state, e.g., to implement the multi-staged
loading of drivers, or to drive suspend-resume states.
The support such scenarios, the 'system' state has been moved from
/config/system to /config/managed/system.
This is a follow-up commit for "menu_view: configurable alpha channel

By caching directory listings, the performance of depot_query is no
longer impeded by a massive amount of stat calls while searching for ROM
module locations.
Issue #4611
Upon closer inspection of real-world access patterns, it turns out that
the 'Stat_cache' and 'Cached_rom_query' are not as effective as hoped
for because cache hits are rare while querying pkg blueprints.
However, by increasing the initial size of the blueprint reporter from 4
KiB (default) to 64 KiB has a great effect. With the small default
report size, the querying of blueprints is repeated until the buffer
size suffices, incrementing the buffer size by 4 KiB in each iteration.
Issue #4611
The new 'Dictionary' provides an easy way to access objects using
strings as key. The 'String' received the 'operator >' to simplify the
organization of strings in an AVL tree.
The patch removes the former definition of the 'operator >' from the
platform driver because it would be ambigious now.
Fixes#4610
This patch avoids repetitive depot queries at the start of the Sculpt
system.
We don't need to trigger a query unconditionally whenever the
managed/deploy changes because the call of 'handle_deploy' triggers a
query when needed.
We don't need to trigger a query once the prepare step is completed
because the depot_query component is spawned at this point. The initial
blueprint produced by the depot_query component, in turn, triggers the
'handle_deploy' mechanics in the sculpt manager.
The constructor of the Sculpt manager's 'Main' does not need to call
'depot_deploy' because the prepare step - which is a precondition for
the deployment - cannot be completed at this point anyway.
This patch splits the former DEPOT=omit option into two variants.
The new 'list' option behaves like the former 'omit' option, skipping
the creation of the tar archive from the depot content referenced by the
deploy configuration but showing a list of depot archives that need to
be published for the deployment.
When specifying 'omit' in th new version, the local depot is not queried
for the packages referenced in the deploy configuration. So the
deployment can refer to packaged hosted only remotely.
Fixes#4605
If provided with a config that does not include a `<static>` or

called when no sub node of the desired type exists.

The 'file' library makes the gems API depend on the libc, which is not
desireable because most users of the gems API have no direct libc
dependency.
With the changes of issue #4599, the build of each src archive that
depends on the gems API would attempt to build the 'file' library and
thereby demand the libc.
Note that the 'file' library is a relic that should better not be
promoted as part of the gems API. Hence, this patch removes the file
library from the gems API and adds it to the src archives of the few
remaining users.
Issue #4599
This style is used by the upcoming phone version of Sculpt for GUI
elements that are supposed to stand out a little bit more than the
regular frame style.
This patch enhances menu_view with the optional configuration attributes
'opaque' and 'background'. Setting 'opaque' to "yes" suppresses the use
of the alpha channel at the GUI session. This improves the drawing
performance by 20% on the PinePhone. Since the menu_view uses the
gems/gui_buffer.h utility, the 'Gui_buffer' received a new 'Alpha'
argument at construction time.
The 'background' attribute can be specified to define the reset color of
the GUI buffer. It alleviates the need to create a frame widget for the
top level.
The patch also switches the optimization level for compiling menu_view
to -O3, which increases the drawing performance on the PinePhone by 30%.
Fixes#4592
This change increases the quota to allow the use of bigger fonts, and
tweaks the style such that the keyboard gets a decent appearance on the
PinePhone's 1440x720 display.
This patch adds principle support for using a USB-net modem as
mobile-data uplink. The change is motivated by the upcoming phone
manager for the PinePhone where the modem serves as the primary network
uplink. For the regular PC version of Sculpt, the feature is not needed
(hence remains disabled) because USB net can be deployed from a package
as described in:
https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2021-07-21-mobile-network
The patch also renames the "Local" network option to "Disconnected" to
be more intuitive.
By decoupling the network dialog's menu view from the 'Network' class,
we become able to host the network dialog in the same menu view instance
as other dialogs.
This patch allows the sculpt manager hosted in the leitzentrale
subsystem to observe the toggling between the runtime and the
administrative GUI. This enables alternatives to the use of the
gui_fader for switching between both views. In particular, the
upcoming phone_manager toggles the visibility of its own GUI
depending on the leitzentrale state.
In a Sculpt system based on the upcoming phone_manager, the event filter
obtains its static configuration from /config/managed/event_filter.
Without the requirement for changes at runtime, there is no need to
have the phone_manager in the loop after all.
Without this patch however, this file was always initialized with the
template gems/sculpt/event_filter/default, which was presumably used
only at boot time until the sculpt manager has produced the first
generated event-filter configuration.
This patch applies the choice of optional configs - i.e., a custom
event_filter config - to both the config/ and the initial content of
config/managed/. So in cases where the /config/managed/event_filter
remains entirely static, the latter properly reflects the choosen
variant.
By using the new functions provided by the base API, this patch removes
the dependency of several components from include/decorator/xml_utils.h.

This patch fixes rare freezes of menu view instances, which could happen boot

This patch reduces the response time of supposedly stuck situations like
an unresponsive part_block component. First, it reduces the heartbeat
rate from 1 to 2 seconds to make it consistent with the frequency of
state reports. Second, it allows up to four skipped heartbeats until
regarding the situation as stuck. With those changes, the prolonged
initialization sequence of a USB ZIP drive succeeds with Sculpt.
This patch handles the corner case of switching virtual desktops while
child views are visible. Examples of such child views are tool tips,
pull-down menus, or the graph of the top-view utility. The switch to
another virtual desktop would implicitely turn the child views into
top-level views of the root nitpicker GUI server until switching back
to the original virtual desktop.
The patch implements the expected behavior of hiding all child views
that belong to a disappearing top-level view.
The quota adjustments prevent the leitzentrale's decorator from running
out of RAM, and allow the nitpicker GUI server to preserve buffer
content during resize (reducing flickering artifacts) when using a
screen resolution up to 2560x1440.
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.

sensible 10%.
By assigning CPU budgets, base-hw's priorities come into effect.

This patch makes Sculpt's leitzentrale GUI able to respond to touch events. It
formerly assumed that click/clack events are always preceded by hover reports
that identify the clicked-on widgets. For touch events, however, the most
up-to-date hover information referred to the previous click because there is no
motion without touching. So the GUI tended to identify the wrong widgets as
click targets.
The patch solved this problem by testing the freshness of the hover information
at the time of the click. If the hover information is older than the click, the
action is deferred until up-to-date hover information becomes available.

transctions to the fd.
For now the Gpu::Connections can be retrieved by calling the

issue #4380
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.

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.

To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original

First, the former implementation has only considered the pure numerical

of memory by `-m 1G`, `-m size=1G` and more.
Second, the default amount of memory for BOARD=pc was 512M (800M in case of okl4).
Since the depot_autopilot.run also required at least 768M on all
platforms it seems reasonable to take 800M as a default value for BOARD=pc and
thereby remove the special treatment of okl4.

This patch adds a missing call of '_handle_decorator_margins' at
construction time. Up to commit "report_rom: versioning and explicit
notification" this problem was masked by an unconditional signal, which
implicitely triggered the call.
Issue #4274Fixes#4306
- CPU-architecture annotations
- Change order of top-level menu, moving Mesa driver to the end
- Add black_hole, recall_fs, file_fault
- Add usb_webcam, test-capture
- Add audio driver and mixer
- Add vbox6, keeping vbox5-nova-sculpt as fallback
- Remove recall_fs launcher, which is obsolete with the recall_fs pkg
- Replace system_clock by system_clock-pc pkg
Issue #4281
This follow-up commit to "sculpt: avoid flickering of leitzentrale"
allows nitpicker to double-buffer pixels during resize operation on a
screen size of 1920x1200.
This patch presents all press and release events to the pointer state,
fixing the problem that _key_cnt was decreased but never increased.
However, the inconsistency had no observable effects in practice.
Issue #4176
This patch ensures that the pointer report is updated not before all
input events are handled. The change does not solve any observed
practical issue but the potential problem was spotted while reviewing
the code.
Issue #4176
This patch changes the depot_query tool to filter the returned index
data depending on the 'arch' as specified for the query. This way, one
index file can support multiple CPU architectures while allowing
individual entries to be architecture-specific.
Fixes#4295
This patch adds the missing definition of 'prio_levels' in the prepare
sub init, fixing the warning:
[init -> runtime -> prepare] Warning: vfs: invalid priority, upgrading from -2 to 0
Issue #4281
Warning!
The current version of the file vault is not thought for productive use but
for mere demonstrational purpose! Please refrain from storing sensitive data
with it!
The File Vault component implements a graphical frontend for setting up and
controlling encrypted virtual file systems using the Consistent Block Encrypter
(CBE) for encryption and snapshot management. For more details see
'repos/gems/src/app/file_vault/README'.
Fixes#4032
Previously unconditional calls to Genode::log in cbe init and the cbe trust
anchor VFS plugin were made dependent on a verbosity flag that is set to
"false" by default.
Ref #4032
Instead of simply encrypting the private key with AES-256 when storing it to
the 'encrypted_private_key' file, wrap it using the AES-key-wrap algorithm
described in RFC 3394 "Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Wrap Algorithm".
This is more secure and enables us to directly check whether the passphrase
entered by the user was correct or not.
Ref #4032
As the file formerly named 'secured_superblock' actually contains the hash of
the superblock that was secured, it was renamed 'superblock_hash'.
Ref #4032
As the file formerly named 'keyfile' actually contains the encrypted private
key of the Trust Anchor, it was renamed 'encrypted_private_key'.
Ref #4032
By now, the symmetric keys were only XOR'ed with the private key as placeholder
for a real encryption. Now they are encrypted using AES256 with the TA's
private key as key
Ref #4032.
A private key of 256 bits is generated pseudo-randomly using the jitterentropy
VFS plugin on initialization. The private key is stored in the key file
encrypted via AES256 using the SHA256 hash of the users passphrase. When
unlocking the CBE device, the encrypted private key is read from the key file
and decrypted with the hash of the users passphrase.
Ref #4032
Instead of using the user passphrase directly, use its SHA256 hash calculated
using libcrypto. The passphrase hash is still stored in the key file to be
used as base for the very primitive way of generating the private key.
Ref #4032
Closing the keyfile handle after a write operation wasn't synchronised to the
actual end of the write operation.
Issuing a write operation at the back end returns successfull as soon as the
back end has acknowledged that it will execute the operation. However, the
actual writing of the data might still be in progress at this point. But the
plugin used to close the file handle and declare the operation finished at this
point which led to warnings about acks on unknown file handles and leaking
resources. Now, the plugin issues a sync operation directly after the write
operation and waits for the sync to complete. This ensures that the plugin
doesn't declare the operation finished too early.
Ref #4032
The unlocking operation in the trust anchor was broken wich caused bad keys in
the CBE. This rewrites the whole operation to work as desired. Note that this
doesn't make it more safe! The private key is still almost the same as the
passphrase and stored plaintext.
Ref #4032
