The supplicant is updated to the current release and is now downloaded
as archive rather than pulled from git. For the time being 'libnl' is
still kept at 3.2.25 as the current 3.7.0 release relies on more Linux
infrastructure that our integration does not provide.
Issue #4861.
This commit changes the firmware handling from requesting each
firmware file as a ROM module that is checked against a list of
known images (including their size) to requesting each file via
the local VFS of the 'wifi_drv'. This allows for using the original
probing mechanism that tries to select a matching firmware version.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to configure the driver.
Issue #4861.
The bulk of the driver code now lives in the 'dde_linux' repository,
which is available on all platforms, from where it can be referenced by
other repositories.
The 'wifi_drv' binary was delegated to a generic harness that includes
all configuration and management functionality shared by all wireless
device driver components, e.g., the wpa_supplicant. The code of the
device driver emulation environment is located in 'src/lib/wifi'. It
is referenced by the platform-specific driver library that resides in
the corresponding platform repository. The runtime configuration needs
to point the driver to proper driver library.
The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the contrib
source utilized by the driver as well as providing the 'source.list'
and 'dep.list' files. It must include the generic library snippet
'repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc' that deals with managing the emulation
environment code.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to deploy the driver.

This commit introduces support for building the WLAN driver for ARM

Related to issue #4778, commit "lx_emul: track irq state changes"
Implement udelay for all architectures within common lx_emul code,
remove driver-specific version.
Always do busy looping in udelay and use cpu_relax()
like the original Linux code. Thereby, we profit from architecture specific
instructions (cpu cool down), and jiffies are updated if irqs are on.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
There are rare use-cases where cpu_relax is used inside a busy loop
(i2c bus functions), which only will break when the jiffies counter
reaches a specific value.
Because of the cooperative scheduling done in lx_emul, no timer
interrupt will break such a loop. As a workaround, we check for
necessary jiffies updates inside cpu_relax if interrupts are enabled.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
To be able to check for interrupts being on or off,
the enabling and disabling is tracked in lx_emul.
When interrupts get received, they have to be turned off.

Do not start and stop idle ticking within the timer interrupt

Workers are only summoned by the manager or when there are no workers on
a work queue. In case a work in front of a work queue depends on a work
behind it, a deadlock may occur. To solve this Linux spawns a rescue
worker using timers. Timing of Linux based drivers is currently reworked
and not reliable. Therefore, we increase the number of workers that are
spawned from 1 to 3 per work queue in order to resolve possible
deadlocks.
Fixes#4762
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
Due to lacking hardware access the driver was test with one RTL8188EE
based device, namely [10ec:8179] (rev 01), only. As the access to the
PCI config space is restricted the driver loads the non power-saving
FW and the driver port is therefor only tested with that. The
accesses are documented should we choose to support them one way or
another later on.
The 'wifi.run' run script as well as Sculpt served as testing ground
where the driver worked fine so far.

Genode build system allows to easily enable 'ccache' for builds. This
change allows to enable using 'ccache' also for build of reference
Linux kernel used during porting device drivers.
To enable 'ccache' it is enough to pass value of 'CC' variable when
executing Linux build but this build by default depends on time when it
is built which causes 'ccache' misses. To solve this issue additional
flags are passed to make build independent from time, current user and
host on which build is performed.
Issue #4718
The old 'Io_response_handler::io_progress_response' interface has been
replaced by the 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user' (issue #4697). The
remaining 'read_ready_response' method is now hosted in the
appropriately named 'Read_ready_response_handler'.
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.

We locally disable 'address-of-packed-member' warnings because GCC complained
about possible alignment issues when returning a reference to a packed member
as naturally aligned pointer (for some reason only on arm_v8a). We know that
the member is aligned to NETDEV_ALIGN via __attribute__ and that the warning
is therefor unnecessary.

We have to correct the CC_OPT_* variable for these files and used to do so via
phony pre-requisite for the corresponding object files because the correction
had to take place after the variable initialization in
import-lx_emul_common.inc and before the creation of the object files. However,
this caused the objects to always rebuild.
This commit fixes this issue by using Make's feature of target-specific
variables instead. The drawback of this solution is that we can no longer
override CC_OPT_* with a modification of its original value but instead have to
override with a completely new value. This is because otherwise, Make would
either complain about recursive assignment or produce an empty value.

The strict conversion warnings were disabled during development when the

With this commit, the WireGuard component exits with a descriptive uncaught
exception on invalid configurations or when the user attempts to re-configure
attributes that are not re-configurable (private_key, listen_port, interface).
This is particularly important when it comes to the not re-configurable private
key. If the component would just ignore the attempt to override the private
key, the user may come to believe that his old (potentially compromised)
private key is not in use anymore.
The fact that the component now exits instead shouldn't be a problem, as the
user would have to restart the component anyway in order to apply the new
attribute values.
The commit also extends the wg_reconfig run script to test that WireGuard
exits on the attempt to re-configure the private key.

I keep setting the flag but with the clearer enum name because the wg tool is
doing it as well when adding new peers and we want to stay close to how the

With this commit, the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG in lx_emul/random.cc gets wrapped
by a new class that automatically re-seeds the PRNG with jitterentropy every
1024 * 1024 + random(0..4095) bytes of generated output.
Ref #4397
Both the Wifi driver and the WireGuard port used local implementations for
their source of randomness. Wifi used a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG for rapid generation
of random values but initialized this PRNG always with the same static seed
value. WireGuard, in contrast, requested each random byte directly from the
jitterentropy lib, which is considered to be very time intensive.
This commit removes the local variants of random.cc and introduces a new
centralized lx_emul/random.cc . The new variant combines the former approaches,
so, that jitterentropy is accessed only in order to generate a random seed for
a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG. Front-end requests for random values are then fulfilled
efficiently via the PRNG.
:Warning:
The output of the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG that is used in the new implementation of
the lx_emul randomness functions has known statistical problems (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoroshiro128%2B#Statistical_Quality).
Furthermore, the integration of Xoroshir128+ with the lx_emul code was not
reviewed/audited for its security-related properties, so far, and has the
known deficiency of seeding the PRNG only once during initialization. Thus,
we strongly advise against the use of the lx_emul randomness functions for
security-critical purposes.

A userland component that ports the Linux WireGuard kernel module (originally

configuration. The port is done using lx_emul, lx_kit and the virt_linux
targets. The commit adds also 4 corresponding run scripts of which 3 are fully
automated of which 1 is added to the autopilot.
:Warning:
Although in principal functioning, the WireGuard port has not been exposed to a
sufficient amount of real-world testing, so far. Therefore, we strongly
recommend not to use it in any security-critical scenarios! There is no
guarantee that the port meets any of the security goals pursued by the
WireGuard protocol or other WireGuard implementations!
