This patch prevents the run tool from issuing 'make' in the build
directory if no build targets are specified, which prompts the build
system to build everything.
If only versioned archives are supplied to a depot function like
'create_tar_from_depot_binaries', the depot/create tool is called
with zero arguments, resulting in a help message. The patch detects
this case and skips the call.
Since unifying the build directories accross architectures, the special
case of the 'linux' platform is no longer needed. Linux can be targeted
from regular CPU-architecture-specific build directories via:
KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
Fixes#4366
When used by the 'Allocator_avl' the slab allocator's backing store is
dynamically disabled and re-enabled while adding/freeing ranges.
However, during those operations, slab entries can be freed. This,
in turn, can result in the release of a slab block (when the freed slab
entry happens to be the last entry of the block). In this corner case,
'Slab::_release_backing_store' operation has no effect because no
backing-store allocator is set. As a result, the block is no longer
referenced but not physically freed.
The patch fixes the problem by skipping '_free_curr_sb' whenever
no backing store is defined. So the completely empty block remains
in the working set.
Thanks to Peter for reporting and fixing this issue!

- Consider 'sdl' as source of input events in the event-filter
configuration as generated by the sculpt manager
- Supply an artificial 'platform_info' ROM as requested by the
sculpt manager to obtain the affinity-space information
- Substitute 'fs_rom' for 'cached_fs_rom' as a workaround for the
lack of support for managed dataspaces on Linux
Fixes#4362
This change keeps the version-controlled 'pubkey' and 'download' files
separate from files generated via depot/create or downloaded via
depot/download. So one can remove the entire depot/ directory without
interfering with git.
Furthermore, depot keys can now be hosted in supplemental repositories
independent from Genode's main repository.
Fixes#4364
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
As far as I can tell this is not raised by any released GCC versions.
Clang 13 on the other hand warns about it due to implicit-int-conversion
warning which is automatically enabled together with Wconversion. The
problem is relatively simple, shifting access_t value does not always
produce result which is also of access_t type. For example, if access_t
is uint16_t, shifting it will produce integer result. This can be
observed even with GCC. Building the following C++ example will fail:
#include <type_traits>
#include <stdint.h>
int test() {
uint16_t a = 0xabcd;
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(a<<1), uint16_t>);
return 0;
}
Changing uint16_t in the static_assert to int, will allow the code to
build.
Make such int to access_t implicit conversion explicit to allow the code
to be compiled with both GCC and clang.
Issue #4354
The path for the `nameserver` file was fixed to `/socket/nameserver`.
So, if the socket directory was configured differing from `/socket`, DNS
did not work. Now the default path for the `nameserver` takes into
account the path configured in the `socket` libc config attribute.

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
This patch discharges the dependency of Makefile.in from Makefile.am
files whenever both files are present in a downloaded archive.
Being based on make, the trigger of running automake is based on the
timestamps for the extracted archive content. However, since we reset
the timestamps (via 'tar -m') at extraction time, no assumptions about
the timestamp relations between the extracted files can be made. In the
event automake is triggered, we are faced with the tool dependency from
a specific automake version on the host.
The patch enforces the unconditional use the 'Makefile.in' version
supplied by the archive.

Instead of using a bitfield for storing rwx and skip boolean value,
take a boolean instead. This fixes a note giv]en by GCC 9.1 about
changes semantics of bitfields given as parameter by value on ARM.

Similar to other devices allow for selecting a graphics device as
well. This is currently only useful on iMX8-based systems like
iMX8Q-EVK and MNT Reform2 where the driver is explicitly started
from a pkg.
Fixes#4342.
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.
