Session_label constructor now takes a bare string rather than a
serialized argument buffer.
Replace all instances of previous constructor with 'label_from_args'
function.
Issue #1787
Use new env, component and logging frameworks.
Sync file system and block device on component entrypoint.
Support for 'root' session argument.
Increase Rump open file descriptor limit.
Issue #1987Fixes#2011
Replace 'attribute(...).has_value("yes")`
with 'attribute_value(..., false)'.
This allows for boolean configuration to be set with values such as
"true", "false", "yes", "no", or "1", "0".
Fixes#2002
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
Replace the Out_of_node_handles exception with Out_of_metadata.
Clients need to know when the server is out of internal resources,
but not why.
Cleanup and sort the errors at file_system_session.h.
Remove 'Size_limit_reached exception' from File_system, which was
internal to ram_fs.
Issue #1751Fixes#1909
This effectively enables configuring builds with -O0 for rump sources.
Note, if the build directory is not clean, at least var/libcache/rump*
should be removed before building with changed etc/tools.conf.
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
Allow symlinks to be passed to the read and write file system utilities.
Disallow writes to symlinks with offsets in file system servers, this is
to ensure that writing the target of a symlink is an atomic operation.
Fixes#1604
This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
To enable the usage of virtualization extension related instructions
there is the need to enable the '-mcpu=cortex_a15' compiler flag on
those cpus. To not conflict with other compiler flags (Ref #810) we've
to disable the '-march=arm_v7a' flag.
Ref #1405
The 'dest' target is renamed in the updated rump version to 'dest.stage'. This
triggered some building steps, even when the targets already existed.
Issue #1409
Since rump now requires large buffers of random numbers (>= 512 bytes), use the
jitterentropy library instead of the slow timer pseudo random number generation.
Fixes#1393
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
The 'rump_cgd' server provides block level encryption for a block
session by employing the 'cgd(4)' device provided by the rumpkernel.
'rump_cgd' uses a Block_session to get access to an existing block
device and provides another Block_session to its clients. Each block
written or read by the client is transperently encrypted or decrypted
by the server.
For now 'rump_cgd' may only _configure_ a 'cgd' device but is unable
to generate a configuration. The used cipher is hardcoded to
_aes-cbc_ with a keysize of 256 bit. Furthermore the server is able to
serve one client only.
To ease the usage, its interface is modelled after the interface of
'cgdconfig(8)'. As implications thereof the key must have the same
format as used by 'cgdconfig'. That means the key is a base 64 encoded
string in which the first 4 bytes denote the actual length of the key
in bits (these 4 bytes are stored in big endian order).
Preparing a raw (e.g. without partition table) encrypted Ext2 disk
image is done by executing 'tool/rump':
! dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/disk_image
! rump -c /path/to/disk_image # key is printed to stdout
! rump -c -k <key> -F ext2fs /path/to/disk_image
To use this disk image the following config snippet can be used:
! <start name="rump_cgd">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="8M" />
! <provides><service name="Block"/></provides>
! <config action="configure">
! <params>
! <method>key</method>}
! <key>AAABAJhpB2Y2UvVjkFdlP4m44449Pi3A/uW211mkanSulJo8</key>
! </params>
! </config>
! <route>
! <service name="Block"> <child name="ahci"/> </service>
! <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service>
! </route>
! </start>
the Block service provided by rump_cgd may be used by a file system
server in return:
! <start name="rump_fs">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="16M"/>
! <provides><service name="File_system"/></provides>
! <config fs="ext2fs">
! <policy label="" root="/" writeable="yes"/>
! </config>
! <route>
! <service name="Block"> <child name="rump_cgd"/> </service>
! <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service>
! </route>
! </start>
Since 'tool/rump' just utilizes the rumpkernel running on the host
system to do its duty there is a script called 'tool/cgdconf' that
extracts the key from a 'cgdconfig(8)' generated configuration file
and also is able to generade such a file from a given key. Thereby
the interoperabilty between 'rump_cgd' and the general rumpkernel
based tools is secured.
On ARM in one way or another 'string.h' prototypes will be used. Move
the definitions from rump_fs to the rump library because it is needed
by all rump based servers running on ARM.

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
