The implementation was copied from the already existing LX-emul implementation
for x86 but the commit additionally page-aligns the array that serves as
backing store for the zero page as we assume this to be expected by the contrib
code. However, this commit doesn't apply the alignment also to the x86
implementation as we agreed, that this should be done in a separate commit.

The driver falls in line with the previous 'legacy_wifi_drv' component

If any PCI device reports 0 as interrupt PIN, drivers may try to force
MSI setup (e.g., xhci). So, we clamp the interrupt PIN to 1 to let
drivers finish initialization and don't bother the platform driver.
This commit removes all physical notions from the information given
to the Linux kernel regarding PCI BARs.
With the exception for the host bridge that needs to be located at
'0:00.0' as required by the Intel FB driver, all other devices are
announced at the PCI BUS in an ascending order.
Additionally the MMIO regions start at 1 GiB and are capped at 32 bit
to prevent unnecessary access to 64 bit addresses.
.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it

The x86 platform driver uses a different API than the one for ARM for

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

supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new

The lx_emul_virt_to_pages implementation initialized the page ref
counter only for the first page, leaving the remaining elements in
uninitialized state. This, in turn, rendered the Linux page_pool (as
used by the emac network driver) ineffective, ultimately leading the a
memory leak. The fix changes the call of 'init_page_count' to take the
loop variable as argument.

Driver code such as mfd-core.c may pass 0 as argument n to kcalloc,
which eventually results in an allocation size 0.
res = kcalloc(cell->num_resources, sizeof(*res), GFP_KERNEL);
Since 'res' is checked against NULL for success, kmalloc must not return
a NULL pointer in this case. The patch works around this issue by
forcing an allocation size of 1 byte in this case.
Issue #4253
Clock providers such as drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun8i-r.c don't use
regular init calls but declare their init functions via CLK_OF_DECLARE,
which fill the __clk_of_table. Linux populates the table statically by
using special sections declared in the linker script. In contrast, we
populate the table by expanding the macro to global constructor
functions.
The __clk_of_table is then processed by the call of of_clk_init(NULL).
Issue #4253
The re-newed approach currently supports ARM 64-bit only.
It depends on the Platform API of the ARM architecture.
It tries to meet the original semantic of the Linux kernel
functions as far as possible. To achieve this, device drivers
using this library should reference the original Linux kernel
headers at foremost. Only the headers in `src/include/lx_emul/shadow`
have to shadow clone the original ones.
Fix#4225
skb_push() already increases the skb->len by ETH_HLEN, hence adding
ETH_HLEN to the packet_size is redundant.
A too large packet size becomes a problem for large MTUs. With a maximum
MTU of 1500, adding ETH_HLEN twice will lead to a packet size of 1528.
Since this is larger than what we expect for good-old Ethernet (max. 1522),
some clients (e.g. the e1000 model in vbox5) may drop these packets.

Unfortunately, our current implementation of 'wmb()' doesn't seem to do what we

get re-ordered after the write to txq->bd.reg_desc_active in the transmission
path of the contrib code. Due to this, the transmission of the packet is only
triggered the next time a packet is sent. However, we only quick-fix it by
enforcing the execution of the write with a volatile global read as we will
soon update the FEC NIC port with a new DDE approach anyway.

Comment in Linux sources:
Since an ethernet header is 14 bytes network drivers often end up with
the IP header at an unaligned offset. The IP header can be aligned by
shifting the start of the packet by 2 bytes. Drivers should do this
with:
skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);
This is ensured when using netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().

transfer causing severe CPU consumption on Genode. With this commit we
lower host driver consumption to normal levels.

This API rework eases the access to memory-mapped I/O registers and
interrupts when using the platform driver. It introduces the notions of
- Platform::Device - one device obtained from a platform session
- Platform::Device::Mmio - locally-mapped MMIO registers of a device
- Platform::Device::Irq - interface for receiving device interrupts
The patch touches several drivers. Some drivers would require a
significant structural change to adopt the new API (e.g., net/virtio,
dde_linux drivers, imx gpio). In these cases, the patch adds
compatibility shims meant to be temporary. In other cases (e.g., imx
i2c), the adaptation was simple enough to carry through.
Fixes#4075
This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface
with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by
'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the
hood.
Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA
buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED
argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the
allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints
(by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can
revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should
generally be fine on the x86 architecture.

The Usb session allows for submitting packets even when the interface

In order to perform a smooth transition from NIC drivers that act only as NIC
session clients to NIC drivers that act only as Uplink session clients, this
commit introduces an intermediate state in which all NIC drivers support both
modes. That said, a NIC drivers mode is now statically determined through a new
optional 'mode' attribute in the drivers <config> tag that can be set to either
'nic_server' (default value) or 'uplink_client'. Reconfiguring this attribute
at a driver doesn't have any effects. Whithout this attribute being set, all
NIC drivers will behave the same as they did before the commit. When set to
'uplink_client', however, instead of providing a Nic service, they request
an Uplink session whenever their network interface becomes "UP" and close the
session whenever their network interface becomes "DOWN".
Ref #3961
Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.

issue #3822
The usb_hid driver does not need to distinguish between
normal memory and DMA capable memory, since all requests are routed via the
USB raw session to the usb host driver. The default Malloc implementation
implements this distinction, however exposes restrictions on the size of
allocations. As seen now by several USB HID devices, the size of device
driver allocations depend on read out hardware features and can be
larger than we support with our specialized default Malloc implementation.
Since we don't need this functionality, switching to an well
tested allocator (Heap) which can cope with varying sizes of allocation,
we can mitigate the size restriction.

Issue #3878
The combination of Net::Mac_address and
Genode::ascii_to(Net::Mac_address) required shaky quirks in several
places because GCC is not able to resolve the ascii_to overload if
base/xml_node.h was included to early. The current solution moves the
several ascii_to overloads "closer" to the Net types by putting them
into the Net namespace, where GCC reliably picks them up.
Hence, co-locating the ascii_to() utility with the overload type in the
same scope/namespace is good practice.
This patch removes the now obsolete <nic/xml_node.h> header file.

Ref #3865
The Lx_kit::Irq abstraction of DDE Linux was always using the very first

Ref #3865
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.
Ref #3864
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.

This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.

To enable the use of uncached DMA buffers as RX and TX communication

This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by

Fixes#3275
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.
Fix#3257
The "Vfs::Vfs_handle" type should not contain any public members that
can be initialized by the VFS internally and by the application, so
remove inheritance from the "Genode::list::Element" class. The VFS
plugins must instead use lists of "Vfs::Vfs_handle" sub-classes, the
lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.

Fix#2961
This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.
The most prominent changes are:
- Removing the use of base/printf.h
- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
'Connection' classes.
- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
come to an end now.
- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.
- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.
- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.

Fixes#3139.
On a Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p, the system locks up when the UHCI controller
BIOS handoff (disabling bit 4 in the LEGSUP register) for the controller
with PCI BDF 00:1d:2 is attempted before the handoff for the controller
with BDF 00:1a:0.
Fixes#3138
It can happen that a keyboard gets plugged in and 'led_connect()' is
called while the keyboard LED of another keyboard is just being updated
(and the registry is locked).
Fixes#3118
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The Linux emulation library provides preprocessor macros for min() and
max(), which now clash with implementation in duration.h. So, we disable
those macros in the delay implementation.
Some application code is dereferencing the pointer returned by
'packet_content' at packet streams without checking that it is valid.
Throw an exception rather than return a null pointer, except for
zero-length packets, which have somewhat implicit invalid content and
that we believe to be properly handled in all current cases.
The client-side of a packet stream cannot take corrective action if the
server-side is sending packets with invalid content, but the servers
that provide packet streams should catch this exception to detect
misbehaving clients.
Ref #3059
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
Move button-event reporting behind pointer-position update.
This is just a quickfix to restore correct pointer emulation with
dde_linux usb_drv. It does not change usb_hid_drv because the approach
is a questionable workaround of the current input event handling, which
reports events promptly on occurrence of inputs events and ignores
synchronization events completely. The original contrib code reported
the button press before absolute x and y positioning followed by a sync
event.
Issue #3019
The tasklet_schedule implementation was missing the unblock call, which
was no problem in the past because the correspending task would get un-
blocked by other work items. Now that every workqueue has its own task,
there is nobody left to unblock the task and thereby execute the
tasklet. As a tasklet is the only way to transmit any pending frames
after transmission was temporarily suspended - because the device/fw
was not able to process the TX request - this rendered 6xxx devices
unusable whenever this situation occurred.
Fixes#2973.
Rather than removing the source files during the port preration, which
breaks preparing the port anew, they are now removed while creating
the src archive.
Fixes#2959.
Since we use the git repo by now remove all unnecessary ballast like
unused code and the git history. The will bring down the wifi_drv's
src archive to reasonable size again.
