This prevents later file-descriptor shortage when opening files on
demand, which can't be reflected to the application in a sane manner.
The real fix is to open socket files not on libc level but on VFS level
only effectively consume one libc file descriptor for one socket.
Now, the USB connection is established on backend initialization and
terminated on backend exit triggered by high-level libusb code.
Thanks to Peter for the patch.
- unlink shared memory files
- lower maximum number of socket pool sockets to reduce chance of file
descriptor exhaustion
- fix a build dependency which caused sporadic parallel build errors

This plugin gives access to the Audio_out session by roughly
implementing a OSS pseudo-device. It merely wrapps the session and does
not provide any resampling or re-coding.
Fixes#3891.
In the same vein as the terminal and block I/O controls, the sound
controls are implemented via poperty files and match the OSS
API ([1] features a nice overview while [2] is v3 and [3] gives
in-depth information on the current v4.x API we eventually might want
to implement).
[1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/RyanBeasley/ioctlref/
[2] http://www.opensound.com/pguide/oss.pdf
[3] http://manuals.opensound.com/developer/
The controls currently implemented are the ones used by the cmus OSS
output plugin, which was the driving factor behind the implementation.
It uses the obsolete (v3) API and does not check if the requested
parameter was actually set, which should be done according to the
official OSS documentation.
At the moment it is not possible to set or rather change any
parameters. In case the requested setting differs from the parameters
of the underlying Audio_out session - in contrast to the suggestion in
the OSS manual - we do not silently adjust the parameters returned
to the callee but outright fail the I/O control operation.
The following list contains all currently handled I/O controls.
* SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS sets the number of channels. We return the
available channels here and return ENOTSUP if it differs from
the requested number of channels.
* SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE returns amount of playback data that can
be written without blocking. For now it amounts the space left
in the Audio_out packet-stream.
* SNDCTL_DSP_POST forces playback to start. We do nothing and return
success.
* SNDCTL_DSP_RESET is supposed to reset the device when it is
active before any parameters are changed. We do nothing and return
success.
* SNDCTL_DSP_SAMPLESIZE sets the sample size. We return the
sample size of the underlying Audio_out session and return ENOTSUP
if it differs from the requested number of channels.
* SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT sets the buffer size hint. We ignore the
hint and return success.
* SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED sets the samplerate. For now, we always return
the rate of the underlying Audio_out session and return ENOTSUP
if it differs from the requested one.
This commit serves as a starting point for further implementing the
OSS API by exploring more users, e.g. as VirtualBox/Qt5/SDL2 audio
backend or a more sophisticated progam like sndiod.
Issue #3891.
Right now the same code dealing with nic setup on qemu is duplicated
in many different run scripts. It makes it unnecesarily complex to
change the existing config or add support for new nic types. Lets move
all this common code to qemu.inc.

The deadlock occured with three concurrently running threads: two
waiters calling pthread_cond_timedwait() and one signaller calling
pthread_cond_signal().
If waiter W1 hits its timeout, the signaller may have called
pthread_cond_signal(), detected this waiter and posted the internal
'signal_sem' concurrently. Then, the signaller waits for 'handshake_sem'
to ensure the waiter got woken up.
Waiter W1 can't consume the 'signal_sem' post by
'sem_wait(&c->signal_sem)' because another waiter W2 may have consumed
the post already above in sem_wait/timedwait(). Waiting for a post on
'signal_sem' would block the waiter W1 in perfect deadlock with
signaller on 'handshake_sem'. As W1 also owns 'counter_mutex' in this
situation, waiter W2 would block when trying to aquire 'counter_mutex'
and can't resolve the situation.
So, W1 does nothing in this case and we accept the spurious wakeup on
next pthread_cond_wait/timedwait().

In case of contexts blocked in select() the monitor updates the
file-descriptor status, but if the entrypoint is just blocked for the
select handler, the status must be updated explicitly on
dispatch_select().
Like already done for terminal I/O controls use collect the information
by reading property files instead of using the old VFS ioctl interface.
Fixes#3888.
There is a type mismatch as in the FreeBSD contrib code the type of the
request is 'unsigned long'. So far, only I/O controls where the request
falls into the signed range where used and this was not a problem.
Some of the SNDCTL requests, however, have the bit set.
Fixes#3887.
This patch is a follow-up for the commit "libc: use monitor for fork".
It removes the use of the monitor mechanism from the
'Local_clone_service::close' RPC function because the fork_ep must stay
responsive for the destruction and creation of 'Child' objects.
Issue #3874
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.
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.

Normally CLOCK_REALTIME is used. However libraries, like glib, want to
use CLOCK_MONOTONIC. To make those users happy add setting the clock.
Note, the pthread_cond implementation uses the POSIX semaphore API
internally that does not have means to set the clock. For this reason,
the private 'sem_set_clock' function is introduced.
Fixes#3846.

Fixes: #3852
This patch untangles the dependency of VFS operations that need RTC
information from the 'clock_gettime' libc function that must never be
called from the libc kernel context.
- The 'Rtc' class uses the VFS directly for reading the rtc file instead
of relying on libc functions.
- The 'Rtc' instance has become part of the 'Kernel' instead of
being construced as a side effect of the first call of
'clock_gettime'.
- Changed 'Rtc::read' to return a timespec value, which has a higher
precision than the formerly used time_t value.
- The 'Rtc::read' returns a value with the relative 'current_time'
already applied. The former handling of subsequent rtc-value
updates has been rewritten to become more logical.
- The 'Vfs_plugin' no longer calls 'clock_gettime' but the new
kernel-level 'Current_real_time' interface.
Issue #2635
This patch untangles the interplay of the base library and the libc
during the exit handling.
- The CXA ABI for the atexit handling is now provided by the libc.
For plain Genode components without libc dependency, __cxa_atexit
is a no-op, which is consistent with Genode's notion of components.
- The 'abort' implementation of the base library no longer calls
'genode_exit' but merely 'sleep_forever'. This way, the cxx library
no longer depends on a 'genode_exit' implementation.
- The libc provides 'atexit' support by storing metadata on the
libc kernel's heap now, thereby eliminating the former bounded
maximum number of atexit handlers.
- Shared-library dtors are no longer called via the atexit mechanism
by explicitly by the dynamic linker. This slightly changes the
call order of destructors (adjustment of the ldso test). Functions
marked as destructors are called after the atexit handlers now.
- The libc executes atexit handlers in the application context,
which supports the I/O operations in those handles, in particular
the closing of file descriptors.

This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This remove the call to Io_progress_handler::handle_io_progress() from
wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal() to prevent unexpected nesting
I/O-progress handling in case of custom dispatch loops (e.g., in libc).
The original intention of Io_progress_handler was to inform the
entrypoint just before blocking in the entrypoint loop.
Issue #2635
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.
Fixes#3784
Up to now all pthreads get placed on one CPU.
The patch adds support to evaluate a libc pthread configuration specifying
a placement strategy.
The default strategy is now to use all available CPUs as imposed by Genode's
affinity configuration for the pthread application.
The old behaviour, putting all pthreads on one single cpu can be still
configured by:
<libc>
<pthread placement="single-cpu"/>
...
</libc>

As discovered by Johannes Kliemann, peeking at buffered socket data
using 'recv' and 'MSG_PEEK' is not supported. Read a "peek" control file
from the socket directory to attempt to peek into buffers at the
socket_fs. Support for every feature of POSIX sockets cannot be
expected, but this one is trivial to implement.
Fix#2875
The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.
As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.
Issue #3720
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
This commit puts all C++ runtime/support symbols of ld.lib.so in a
dedicated section of base/lib/symbols/ld and mirrors the section to
libports/lib/symbols/libc. So, the libc ABI resolves potential C++
runtime dependencies of base-ABI-agnostic components at link time. The
runtime resolution is done by the linker by symbol lookup in ld.lib.so.

This patch avoids calls of '__sys_getstatfs' (indirectly via

This patch makes the e2fsprogs 'mke2fs' and 'resize2fs' available as
standalone components that can be used by Sculpt OS directly without

This patch reduces the size of session labels for all services other

maximum label length in the presence of deep fork hierarchies, e.g., for
running the tool chain.

issue #3598
The libc monitor facility enables the execution of monitor jobs by the
main thread when the monitor pool was charged. In comparison to the
current suspend/resume_all mechanism the main thread iterates over all
job functions in contrast to waking up all threads to check their
conditions by themselves. Threads are only woken up if the completion
condition was met.
This commit is the result of a collaboration with Christian Prochaska.
Many thanks for your support, Christian.

sleep(), usleep(), and nanosleep() now return immediately on

If the suspend method for the main thread detects that the suspend
condition is false it must return the passed timeout value (not always
0). Otherwise, the caller may incorrectly assume the timeout expired.
