After reverting unused ranges during allocator destruction
'_meta_data.free_empty_blocks' may lead to more unused ranges because
meta data blocks maybe freed where the meta data for the blocks is
managed by other meta data blocks. This leads to dangling allocation
warnings which are caused by meta data. Therefore, we call
'_revert_unused_ranges' and 'free_empty_blocks' until no more ranges
can be freed.

Issue #4450
Compared to the bytewise memset, a wordwise memset (or even multi-word)
achieves a speedup of ~6.
On Zynq-7000/Cortex-A9:
317 MiB/s -> 2040 MiB/s
On base-linux x86_64:
3580 MiB/s -> 23700 MiB/s
genodelabs/genode#4456
Preloading a few cache lines ahead brings a significant speedup in
memcpy throughput. Note, the particular (optimal) value was empirically
determined on a Cortex-A9 (Zynq-7000) SoC @ 666Mhz. It is best combined
with L2 prefetching enabled (including double linefills and prefetch
offset 7). Yet, even without L2 prefetching this seems to be the sweet
spot.
genodelabs/genode#4456
The implementation is not in use any more. Furthermore, on typical ARM
cores such as the Cortex-A9, the cached read appears to be the
bottleneck rather than instruction density. On a Zynq-7000 SoC, the vfp
implementation performed significantly worse than the standard load/store
multiple implementation with preloading.
genodelabs/genode#4456
When executed on Linux, the test was impaired by the copy-on-write
optimisation since the source buffer was never initialised. By default,
Linux only maps a zeroed page until the first write access to the page
occurs. Since the source buffer was never written, the corresponding
page was always present in the physically-indexed data cache. In
consequence, the test merely measured write performance (similar to memset).

Issue #4450
Our usb_host driver supports UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and XHCI host
controllers. The USB4 host interface / Thunderbolt is currently not
supported and must therefore not be passed to the USB host driver.
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.
Encountered on the Fuji5 where for reasons currently unknown the
first xHCI HC (0:0d.0) could not be initialize due to incomplete
interupt informations. The other HCs appear to work fine (tested
with a USB low-speed mouse).
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.
With this fix, the driver no longer aborts on the Tigerlake notebook and
just skips the out-of-region ACPI table. Issue #4452 is not fixed by
this commit, but in this specific case the table is not used anyway.
Upgrade to the well known worst cases by the GPU multiplexer. Do not
keep track of resources locally, in case resources are exceeded the
remain so anyway.

This patch adds the trace-logger utility to the default set of packages
along with an optional launcher. With this change, only two steps are
needed to use Genode's tracing mechanism with Sculpt:
- Add 'trace_logger' to the 'launcher:' list of the .sculpt file
- Either manually select the 'trace_logger' from the '+' menu,
or add the following entry to the deploy configuration:
<start name="trace_logger"/>
By default, the trace logger is configured to trace all threads
executed in the runtime subsystem and to print a report every 10
seconds. This default policy can be refined in the launcher's <config>
node. Note that the trace logger does not respond to configuration
changes during runtime. Changes come into effect not before restarting
the component.
Issue #4448
This patch changes the output format of the trace logger to become
better suitable for human consumption. For example, when instrumenting
the VFS server in Sculpt using the GENODE_TRACE_TSC utility, the
trace logger now generates tabular output as follows.

Subjects that belong to the same PD are grouped together. The formerly
optional affinity and activity options have been removed. Those
information are now unconditionally displayed. The trace entries
belonging to a thread appear as slightly indented.
The patch also updates the coding style, avoiding excessively long
lines.
Issue #4448
This patch reduces repetitive log output by omitting inactive trace
subjects from the log output. The information about all subjects can
still be dumped by setting 'verbose="yes"'.
Issue #4448
This patch splits the creation and updating of monitor objects into two
stages. The creation of a monitor object changes the state of the
associated trace subject. The patch ensures that the new state is
captured by the update of the monitor object.
Issue #4448
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.
Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.
This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:
UNATTACHED prior any call of 'trace'
ATTACHED after a trace monitor called 'trace'
but before the tracing is active
TRACE tracing is active
Fixes#4447
The new macros GENODE_TRACE_TSC and GENODE_TRACE_TSC_NAMED complement
the existing GENODE_LOG_TSC and GENODE_LOG_TSC_NAMED macros to simplify
TSC measurements at a low overhead of the trace mechanism.
The utilities of the new util/formatted_output.h header complement the
existing base/output.h with the text-formatting support needed to
produce tabular output.
Fixes#4449
First, the endpoint update has to comply with the current alternate
settings of all interface, which are stored in USBDevice::altsetting[]
(one value per interface). Second, a SET_INTERFACE control request via
Packet_type::ALT_SETTING must update USBDevice::altsetting for the
interface.
Now, USB devices with multi-setting interface like the Joulescope JS110
with mixed bulk/isochronous endpoints are supported.
This commit adjusts the value such that USB sessions requested by
VirtualBox6 on Sculpt OS can get established on the first try without
invoking the session-retry mechanism. This reduces the number of
diagnostic log messages like:
Error: Insufficient 'ram_quota',got 6296372 need 6297928
The value of 50% as assigned by commit "sculpt: add basic support for
i.MX8 Quad EVK" leaves too little room for other components of the
runtime subsystem. With the adjustements of commit "sculpt: assign CPU
quotas" the sum exeedcs 100%. Hence this commit tunes down the value to
sensible 10%.
The existing assignment of CPU quotas did not anticipate the dynamic
reconfiguration of init. It merely tracked the available CPU quota by
deducing the consumed amount from a global variable but never
replenished the value. This worked for static scenarios but failed in
situations where components are dynamically re-started.
So far this deficiency remained detected because CPU quotas were not
used in highly dynamic systems like Sculpt OS. However, this has
recently changed by commit "sculpt: assign CPU quotas".
The patch improves the accounting by mirroring the existing handling of
RAM and cap quotas. Note that the CPU-quota accounting is still rather
limited. In particular the dynamic rebalancing is not yet supported.
Issue #4445
.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it

With the consolidation of the file-system session's signal handlers
implemented by commit "file_system_session: merge ack and submit sigh",
we can now change the VFS server to produce batches of acknowledgements

'acknowledge_packet', the new 'try_ack_packet' triggers no signal)
Issue #4388
Split the trace buffer into two partitions in order to prevent overwriting

This commit simplifies the current implementation by overloading the
length field with a padding indicator in addition to the zero-length
head entry. This simplifies the iteration semantics as it eliminates
the need for determining whether a zero-length entries is the actual

The logic got accidentally reversed during the transition from the
legacy USB driver.
Since the function drops error details, this patch adds a diagnostic
message with the error code as returned by the Linux driver.
This patch declares that the pseudo target virtualbox6/services/ does
not produce any build artifact. This allows the adding of virtualbox6
to Sculpt's 'build:' list.
The run script uses core, ld.lib.so, and init from depot packages, thus
these cannot be integrated in the image explicitly from the build

Also, removed special build of report_rom, which is not subject of the

Ref #4419
This commit changes the touch-click filter to adhere the following
sequence:
touch (physical)
press (artifically generated)
release (artificially generated)
release_touch (physical)
This order is important because nitpicker's focus handling takes
press/release events into account. If the release-touch event appears
before the release event, nitpicker subsumes the release-touch event
to the sequence that started with the press event, instead of handling
it as a free-standing event.
Issue #4332
By assigning CPU budgets, base-hw's priorities come into effect.
Even though the chosen values are rather guessed than informed, they
yield a visibly improved responsiveness on the Pinephone.
When committing a new entry, the buffer wrapped if the last entry fit
perfectly into the buffer. Otherwise, the length field of the next entry
was set to 0 to mark the new head. Yet, if there was still some padding but not
enough to hold the length field of another entry, we ended up with a
headless buffer.
genodelabs/genode#4430
Since the head of the buffer is marked by a zero-length entry, we must
only write the length field if a new head was set. Otherwise, the
consumer might already read the new entry and not find the new head as a stop
condition.
genodelabs/genode#4430
When a device got already acquired by a platform session client, do not
return the same capability again, even if the same platform session
client requested it. Therefore, make doubtful behaviour of client components
visible, and do not have to struggle with Platform::Device instances
instantiated multiple times, which care of the lifetime of the device
capability internally.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4379
Genode code already expects MMU to be disabled when starting the
kernel. It is enabled eventually in Bootstrap::Platform::enable_mmu,
after setting up translation tables. Unfortunately nothing ensures
this is actually the case. If MMU happens to be enabled when entering
the kernel things go downhill pretty fast after we start messing with
TTBR.
This patch ensures MMU is disabled for EL1, EL2, EL3 dependent on the
exception level of the CPU core, which is entering the kernel.
This should allow base-hw to start correctly on Quartz64 A board.
The `lookup_translation` function got introduced and is used only in the
context to proof whether a cache maintainance function can be executed
safely by the kernel. Unfortunately, it did not checked write permissions,
which can lead to permission faults. This commit restricts the lookup
function to only succeed when the target page is writeable. Consequently,
the lookup function gets renamed to `lookup_rw_translation`.

The new usb_host driver for PC by default needs more RAM quota in contrast

Adds a function to the USB part of the Genode's C API, to enable

This commit fixes a regression originally solved in genodelabs/genode#4149
Ref genodelabs/genode#4416
XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.
Fixes#4431
When a PD owns the right to ask for a RAM dataspace's `dma_addr` it is
concurrently constrained to use allocations of a specific physical RAM area.
This commit further limits this area by removing RAM page frame zero.
Otherwise the return value of `dma_addr` for such a dataspace would be
erroneously interpreted as a fault, because zero is currently the error
return value of `dma_addr`.

According to ARM Cortex-A55 Core Technical Reference Manual r1p0 the
lowest 8 bits (Aff0) of MPIDR register represent thread IDs within a
multi-threaded core. The actual core identification bits are in Aff1.
This layout can be identified by checking the MT bit of MPIDR register.
Basically, if MT=1 core id is in Aff1, if MT=0 core id is in Aff0.
Without this change Genode will identify all CPU cores on A55 as primary
(0) core.
Its worth to mention that Cortex-A55 by itself is not a multi-threaded
CPU. Aff0 values are always expected to be 0 for pure A55 cores. A55
cores can however be paired with cores that are multi-threaded. To
support such big.LITTLE CPUs in Genode we'd probably need to add a
different mechanism for mapping MPIDR values to logical, contignous
core IDs which Genode expects.

This does not affect default Genode builds as far as I can tell. There
is always at least one global static CTOR which seems to be coming from
one of the GCC runtime libs bundled in the toolchain. The problem became
visible for me only after I've replated GCC runtime with LLVM based
one. In such setup I often see binaries that do not have any static ctors.
Such binaries end up crashing Genode ld.lib.so.

Switch the code to 0 lengh array instead. The code in
Lru_cache::element_size calls sizeof on this structure. This works in
gcc, but fails when using clang. Even for GCC however the documentation
states:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."
Basically its an implementation quirk that clang does not support. Both
GCC and clang do support zero sized arrays however so using them here
allows both compilers to process this code.

Fix this by passing softfp to mfloat-abi command on ARMv7. This allows

Issue #4421
According to C++11 reference:
"If the strictest (largest) alignas on a declaration is weaker than
the alignment it would have without any alignas specifiers (that is,
weaker than its natural alignment or weaker than alignas on another
declaration of the same object or type), the program is ill-formed:"
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/alignas
The code requests 4 byte alignment for Genode::Arm_cpu::Context.
The Context structure inherits Genode::Arm_cpu::Fpu_context which
has minimum alignment requirement of 8 bytes, due to uint64_t d0_d31
member. This makes the 4 byte value in Context's alignas specifier
invalid (smaller than allowed minimum).
Similar situation takes place in Arm_64 case. The claimed minimum
alignment of Context is 8 bytes, but the fpu_state member imposes 16
bytes alignment (explicitly specified in Fpu_state declaration).
In both cases the code builds fine with GCC 8.3.0, but fails with
clang which claims that "requested alignment is less than minimum
alignment of X for type", where X is 8 on ARM and 16 on AArch64.

To make room for the re-newed usb_host_drv basing on Linux 5.14 and

number of the click, which allows for freshness checks by the consumer of

This patch eliminates warnings that occurred as side effect of using the
'Session_policy' utility ("Warning: no policy defined for label...").
The new version uses the 'with_matching_policy' function instead, which
has the nice side effect of simplifying the error handling.
This patch makes the server-side policy-matching logic available outside
the 'Session_policy' class. Given that the new 'with_matching_policy'
function does not throw any exception, it gives server implementations
the freedom to avoid the C++ exception mechanism for the policy handling.
If the platform driver lacks the 'managing_system="yes"' attribute,
requests for DMA addresses return 0. This patch is meant to help
diagnosing such configuration issues.
Issue #2243
This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.
The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.
The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.
With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.
Issue #2243
This patch makes Sculpt's leitzentrale GUI able to respond to touch events. It
formerly assumed that click/clack events are always preceded by hover reports
that identify the clicked-on widgets. For touch events, however, the most
up-to-date hover information referred to the previous click because there is no
motion without touching. So the GUI tended to identify the wrong widgets as
click targets.
The patch solved this problem by testing the freshness of the hover information
at the time of the click. If the hover information is older than the click, the
action is deferred until up-to-date hover information becomes available.
Fixes#4398
The new event type allows for the propagation of sequence numbers as a means to
validate the freshness of input handling. E.g., an menu-view-based application
can augment artificial sequence numbers to the stream of motion events supplied
to 'menu_view'. Menu view, in turn, can now report the latest received sequence
number in its hover reports, thereby enabling the application to robustly
correlate hover results with click positions.
Issue #4398
This patch replaces formerly blocking packet-stream operations by
the explicit use of 'wait_and_dispatch_io_signal' for blocking.
It also removes a misleading comment that promised a fire-and-forget
behavior whereas the implementation relied on blocking I/O anyway.
Issue #4390
Errors during IPC receive-and-wait can occur at the server side when
a client is killed. This condition is not an error from the server's
perspective. We used to print a message nevertheless, since the
condition is rather exceptional. However, when printed during the
test-sequence test, the messages interfere with the pattern matching of
the depot_autopilot, flagging the successful test as an error.
The VFS block plugin used to depend on the blocking semantics of the
packet stream's 'get_acked_packet'. This patch replaces this dependency
by the use of 'wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal'. However, in order to
implement this change, the custom instance of a 'Signal_receiver' had to
be removed as well.
To keep this patch as little invasive as possible, it does not touch the
direct use of the block session's packet stream, which should better be
replaced by the 'Block::Connection::Job' API.
Issue #4390
The zynq_nic_drv follows a zero-copy approach and thus uses the packet
buffers as DMA memory. In order to know when the RX DMA memory can be used
for another packet, a custom ack_avail_handler is needed.
Similarly, packets received from the Uplink session are not copied to a
DMA buffer but to directly passed on as DMA memory. For this purpose,
a a custom packet_avail handler is needed.
genodelabs/genode#4384
The 'read' and 'write' utilities are from a time before the VFS API
as os/vfs.h was available. They rely on the (now removed) blocking
semantics of the packet-stream interface.
The only remaining legitimate use case of the direct interaction with
the file-system session without VFS is the back end of gcov, which needs
a way to exfiltrate the statistical data using a channel that is
independent from the libc or the VFS.
Issue #4390
This patch replaces the direct use of a file-system session via the
'file_system/util.h' helpers by the VFS using the os/vfs.h API. This
makes the component more flexible while removing the dependence from
read and write utilities of file_system/util.h, which happen to rely on
the (now removed) blocking packet-stream semantics.
Issue #4390
This patch replaces the direct interaction with the packet stream of
the block session by the use of the 'Block::Connection::Job' API,
removing the reliance on blocking packet-stream semantics.
Since I/O signals can now occur during 'Backend::submit', the patch
conditions the periodic calls of 'rump_sys_sync' by taking the backend
state into account.
Issue #4390
Since the change "block_tester: limit batching in sequential test", the
sequence test blocks infinitely when encountering a length value smaller
than the block size.
This patch takes precautions against the use of blocking packet-stream
operations like 'submit_packet'.
With the change of issue #4388, the ready-to-submit signals are no
longer implicitly handled. Hence, a call of submit_packet to a
saturated submit queue blocks infinitely.
Issue #4390
Even though the use of the C++ exception mechanism (and the implicit use
of the cxx heap) is not a problem at the server side, this patch
nevertheless replaces the exception-based return-value handling to make
the code consistent with the ipc_call path.

transctions to the fd.
For now the Gpu::Connections can be retrieved by calling the

Imagine receiving the signal for an available TX ack or an available RX packet
at the Uplink connection but a later received signal for a link-state change
(to link state "down") at the same connection is handled first and destructs
the Uplink connection before the handling of the former signals. In this case,
the methods 'Uplink_client_base::_conn_tx_handle_ack_avail' and
'Uplink_client_base::_conn_rx_handle_packet_avail' must be guarded against an
unconstructed '_conn' member, but they weren't so far.
Fixes#4384
So far, the generic Uplink connection code considered NIC drivers to transmit
connection RX packets in three different manners. Most of the drivers follow
the "normal" way of transmission with only one driver callback from generic
code. The monolithic USB NIC-driver, however, used to send in a "burst" mode
that required a dedicated path with multiple driver callbacks in the generic
code. And then there were drivers that had a fully custom function for doing
transmissions.
Also for handling connection TX acks, there was a "normal" and a
"custom handler" way.
Today, all NIC drivers in the Genode repos and the Genode-World repo follow the
"normal" way. Therefor, the unused code can be removed.

This patch equips Sculpt with the ability to customize the system image
in very flexible ways.
All customizable aspects of the image have been relocated from the
former sculpt.run script and the accompanied gems/run/sculpt/ directory
to a new location - the sculpt/ directory - which can exist in any
repository. The directory at repos/gems/sculpt/ serves as reference.
The sculpt directory can host any number of <name>-<board>.sculpt files,
each containing a list of ingredients to be incorporated into the
Sculpt system image. The <name> can be specified to the sculpt.run
script. E.g., the following command refers to the 'default-pc.sculpt'
file:
make run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc SCULPT=default
If no 'SCULPT' argument is supplied, the value 'default' is used.
A .sculpt file refers to a selection of files found at various
subdirectries named after their respective purpose. In particular, There
exists a subdirectory for each file in Sculpt's config fs, like
nitpicker, drivers... The .sculpt file selects the alternative to use
by a simple tag-value notation.
drivers: pc
The supported tags are as follows.
*Optional* selection of /config files. If not specified, those files are
omitted, which prompts Sculpt to manage those configurations
automatically or via the Leitzentrale GUI:
fonts
nic_router
event_filter
wifi
runtime
gpu_drv
Selection of mandatory /config files. If not specified, the respective
'default' alternative will be used.
nitpicker
deploy
fb_drv
clipboard
drivers
numlock_remap
leitzentrale
usb
system
ram_fs
Furthermore, the .sculpt file supports the optional selection of
supplemental content such as a set of launchers.
launches: nano3d system_shell
Another type of content are the set of blessed pubkey/download files
used for installing and verifying software on target.
With the new version, it has become possible to supply a depot with the
the system image. The depot content is assembled according to the 'pkg'
attributes found in launcher files and the selected deploy config.
The resulting depot is incorporated into the system image as 'depot.tar'
archive. It can be supplied to the Sculpt system by mounting it into the
ram fs as done by the 'ram_fs/depot' configuration for the ram fs.
It is possible to add additional boot modules to the system image. There
are two options.
build: <list of targets>
This tag prompts the sculpt.run script to build the specified targets
directly using the Genode build system and add the created artifacts
into the system image as boot modules.
import: <list of depot src or pkg archives>
This tag instructs Sculpt to supply the specifid depot-archive content
as boot modules to the system image. This change eliminates the need for
board-specific pkg/sculpt-<board> archives. The board-specific
specializations can now be placed directly into the respective .sculpt
files by using 'import:'.
To make the use of Sculpt as testbed during development more convenient,
the log output of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime subsystems
can be redirected to core using the optional 'LOG=core' argument, e.g.,
make run/sculpt KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux LOG=core
The former pkg/sculpt-installation and pkg/sculpt-installation-pc
archives have been replaced by pkg/sculpt_distribution-pc, which
references the generic pkg/sculpt_distribution archive. Those pkgs are
solely used for publishing / distribution purposes.
Fixes#4369
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!

This change keeps the version-controlled 'pubkey' and 'download' files

independent from Genode's main repository.

Fix some trivial cases where the signedness of the constant value does

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 #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.

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.
Issue #4347
The const-variant of the data() method contained an erroneous
calculation of the tail size. This led to the size guard throwing
exceptions when trying to parse TCP packets that only contained the
TCP header.
Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4340
Thanks to Piotr Tworek for the fix and his explanation as follows:
The basic idea is to try to fit payload data into the descriptor used to
send the header. If there is no payload, or the payload fits exactly
into the remaining space in the header decriptor, len should be 0 and
only one descriptor should be used. In such case the "next" and "flags"
members of the descriptor structure should be set to 0.
In case there is some extra payload data to send, but its size is
bigger than the remaining free space in the descriptor used to send the
header, len should contain the remaining size of the payload that
can't be sent via the header descriptor. The code will then chain
additional descriptors to handle this remainder.
With the len variable shadowing, the code will never queue the remaining
data.

This change of the inner working of the platform driver for ARM allows
clients to have permanent open sessions, as long as a policy node matches
the client. If devices disappear from the policy resp. from the set of

and a corresponding device session gets closed. If the device remains
untouched in the configuration but other devices appeared/disappeared, the
device session is not affected.

This implements the necessary bits to provide 2D framebuffer support on
top of VirtIO GPU device as implemented in Qemu. I don't know if any
other implementation of this specific device exists.
Compared to the ramfb driver which already exists in Genode Virtio FB driver
has one major benefit. It allows Qemu window to be dynamically resized at
runtime. The driver will treat this as resolution change and act accordingly.
Ramfb driver can currently only use the hardcoded 1024x768 screen size. Changing
screen resolution might not sound like a big deal, but it is rather useful to
run Genode on Qemu in full screen mode.
Some more advanced devices like VirtIO GPU do expect they can receive
responses to VirtIO commands they issue via VirtIO queue. Such responses
are not sent via a separate device writeable queue. Instead the driver
is expected to queue some additional descriptors and buffers which the
device can then use to provide the reply.
This patch adds support for such write-data-read-response opeartion to
Genode VirtIO::Queue implementation. The implementation is pretty simple
and does not support any fancy features like receiving the response
asynchronously. Instead the operation will use caller provided callback
to wait for the device to process the command. Once this callback
returns the write-data-read-response VirtIO::Queue function will invoke
another callback passing received response as argument.
Mesa queries information about the underlying device and this header
denotes the layout of the information. It is also used by the driver

To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original

The former use of Pthread conditionals did not cover the corner case of
early wakeups just before halting the CPU. These wakeups were simply
lost which resulted in sporadic halts of about 500 ms (the maximum timeout

and effectively prevents the CPU from halting.
Additionally, we now wakeup the target CPU on VMMR0_DO_GVMM_SCHED_POLL
and, thus, mimic the behavior of the original implementation slightly
better,

This patch introduces the lx_emul/pin.h interface that enables GPIO stub
drivers to interact with Genode's Pin_control and IRQ sessions via a
simple C API.
Fixes#4316
The new interfaces are meant to gradually replace the existing
Gpio_session interface.
- Each session refers to a single pin.
- The session types distiguish the direction of the signal as input or
output.
- Pin coordinates can be selected via session labels.
- GPIO interrupts are covered by the regular IRQ session interface.
The interfaces are accompanied by framework utilities and interfaces:
- os/pin_driver.h
- pin_control_session/component.h
- pin_state_session/component.h
These headers relieve GPIO drivers from implementing boilerplate code by
providing device-agnostic portions. The A64 pio driver serves as
reference for using those utilities.

First, the former implementation has only considered the pure numerical
variant of the -m argument. Yet, qemu also allows specifying the amount
of memory by `-m 1G`, `-m size=1G` and more.
Second, the default amount of memory for BOARD=pc was 512M (800M in case of okl4).
Since the depot_autopilot.run also required at least 768M on all
platforms it seems reasonable to take 800M as a default value for BOARD=pc and
thereby remove the special treatment of okl4.

The commit avoids the race between checking for the NEM state and the decision
to notify (poke) the NEM backend (nem.cc).
- ever notify about POKE flag for remote vCPU
- check synchronized for NEM state
- store recheck flag and apply on next switch_to_hw
Issue #4313
In the default setting the number of root ports is set to 4. This
also limits the number of USB host devices that may be attached to
the VM. Since the USB webcam shares the slots, that leaves us with
only 3 available USB2 slots to attach USB host devices. Depending on
the use-case that might not be enough.
This commit statically increases the number of ports to 8 each and
adapts the qemu-usb glue-code accordingly.
Many thanks to Raphael for initial investigation and workaround.

Those symbols are not satisfied by any code or dependency of libm. As

When rebasing my local branch on top of sculpt-21.10 tag I've noticed
two problems.
The code in new_delete.cc does not include new header file. This works
fine with GCC, but fails with clang because std::align_val_t type is
not defined anywhere according to clang. It looks like GCC pulls this
header indirectly somehow.
The second problem can be seen if one disallows undefined symbols in
executables and shared_libraries. This can be seen with both GCC and
clang by adding --no-undefined to LD_OPT. With such change in place core
fails to link due to:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: operator delete(void*, std::align_val_t)
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)
>>> thread.o:(Kernel::Core_main_thread::~Core_main_thread()) in archive debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a

>>> did you mean: operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)
>>> defined in: debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a(supc++.o)
If the code would somehow manage call such undefined symbol it'd crash.
Since I generally prefer link time failures to runtime crashes I link
all genode binaries with --no-undefined.
To fix this problem just add a dummy implementation of missing delete
operator.

This patch extends the notion of having only one uniquely hovered client
in the presence of held keys.
If motion occurs once a key is pressed (e.g., while dragging), the
receiver of the key sequence observes the motion events. In this case,
we have to submit an artificial leave event to the originally hovered
client so that no more than one client observes itself as being hovered
at the same time. Once the key sequence is finished, the hovering is
updated again, eventually presenting a motion event to the originally
hovered client and a leave event to the receiver of the key sequence.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.

This commit removes the report service from the usb_webcam pkg, which
was used to enable or disable the webcam driver. The on/off state is
instead controlled by the presence of a capture client. That is, once a
capture client appears, the webcam driver is started. Vice versa, once
no capture client exists, the webcam driver is removed automatically.
Internally, the detection of presence of a capture client is based on
nitpicker's 'displays' report, which is consumed as input of the
rom_filter, which in turn generates the configuration of a dynamic sub
init.

'Out_of_ram' was so far the only exception a client had to deal with
during buffer managment. Allocating memory, however, does not only
consume RAM quota but CAP quota as well.
This commit tries to mitigate that shortcoming by reflecting the
'Out_of_caps' state back to the client. Furthermore it allows for
resource accounting on certain client allocations, e.g. buffers.
Fixes#4284.
Allocating and mapping buffers not only consumes RAM quota, it consumes
CAP quota as well. Extended the Gpu session to allow for dealing with
that on the client side.
On a side note, the amount of initial CAP quota needed to establish
a connection is increased to cover the current costs of the Intel
GPU multiplexer.
Issue #4284.
The platform driver uses a 'Constrained_ram_allocator' to allocate
meta-data on behave of a client. It uses the PD session as
'Ram_allocator' back end that in return is implemented via the
'Expanding_pd_session_client'.
Whenever the PD client itselft comes into resource shortage it will
ask its parent unconditionally. However, depending on the integration,
such a request may be left unanswered.
This commit introduces a check to prevent that situation from
occurring. In case the platform driver notices the resource shortage
it will reflect that back to the client.
Issue #4284.
By using the cached_fs_rom instead of fs_rom, each client obtains the

Previously unconditional calls to Genode::log in cbe init and the cbe trust

Instead of simply encrypting the private key with AES-256 when storing it to
the 'encrypted_private_key' file, wrap it using the AES-key-wrap algorithm
described in RFC 3394 "Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Wrap Algorithm".
This is more secure and enables us to directly check whether the passphrase
entered by the user was correct or not.

As the file formerly named 'secured_superblock' actually contains the hash of
the superblock that was secured, it was renamed 'superblock_hash'.

By now, the symmetric keys were only XOR'ed with the private key as placeholder
for a real encryption. Now they are encrypted using AES256 with the TA's
private key as key
Ref #4032.
A private key of 256 bits is generated pseudo-randomly using the jitterentropy
VFS plugin on initialization. The private key is stored in the key file
encrypted via AES256 using the SHA256 hash of the users passphrase. When
unlocking the CBE device, the encrypted private key is read from the key file
and decrypted with the hash of the users passphrase.
Ref #4032
Instead of using the user passphrase directly, use its SHA256 hash calculated
using libcrypto. The passphrase hash is still stored in the key file to be
used as base for the very primitive way of generating the private key.

Closing the keyfile handle after a write operation wasn't synchronised to the
actual end of the write operation.
Issuing a write operation at the back end returns successfull as soon as the
back end has acknowledged that it will execute the operation. However, the
actual writing of the data might still be in progress at this point. But the
plugin used to close the file handle and declare the operation finished at this
point which led to warnings about acks on unknown file handles and leaking
resources. Now, the plugin issues a sync operation directly after the write
operation and waits for the sync to complete. This ensures that the plugin
doesn't declare the operation finished too early.
Ref #4032
The unlocking operation in the trust anchor was broken wich caused bad keys in
the CBE. This rewrites the whole operation to work as desired. Note that this
doesn't make it more safe! The private key is still almost the same as the
passphrase and stored plaintext.

The plugin used to close file handles via the 'vfs_env.root_dir.close'.
However, this lead to resource leaks and apparently isn't the right way to
do it. Other VFS plugins do it by calling 'close' directly on the handle and
doing it in the trust anchor plugin also, fixes the leaks.

There were no means for issuing a Deinitialize request at the CBE using the
CBE VFS plugin. The new control/deinitialize file fixes this. When writing
"true" to the file, a Deinitialize request is submitted at the CBE. When
reading the file, the state of the operation is returned as a string of the
format "[current_state] last-result: [last_result]" where [current_state] can
be "idle" or "in-progress" and [last_result] can be "none", "success", or
"failed".
Ref #4032
When discarding a snapshot, the CBE VFS plugin didn't communicate the ID of
the snapshot to the CBE. Instead it set the ID argument to 0. Therefore the
operation never had any effect.

The snapshots file system used to return the number of snapshots on
'num_dirent' when called for the root directory although it was expected to
return 1. This confused the tooling ontop of the VFS.
Ref #4032
Despite being readable, the files control/extend and control/rekey proclaimed
that they were not when asked. This caused the fs_query tool to not report the
content of the files although it could have.
Ref #4032
Stat calls on the control/extend and control/rekey files returned a bogus file
size that led to an error in the VFS File_content tool. The tool complained
that the size of the file determined while reading the content differs from the
one reported by the stat operation. Now, the stat call will always determine
the actual size of what would be read. However, it isn't guaranteed that this
size doesn't change in the time after the stat operation and before the read
operation.

The service is loaded dynamically VBoxSharedClipboard.so at runtime. The
VFS configuration mounts the shared object at /VBoxSharedClipboard.so as
the file is checked by contrib code before loading. An init
configuration in pkg/vbox6/runtime illustrates this and how to re-label
the VBoxSharedClipboard.so ROM to its real name
virtualbox6-sharedclipboard.lib.so.
During Windows 10 boot with sequential block requests, the AHCI request
worker finished earlier than the EMT thread signals hEvtProcess and

provided in VirtualBox's runtime.

The includes for the address-space-ID allocator and the translation table are
usually specific to the CPU in use. Therefore these includes can be moved from
their current location in the board header to the CPU headers. This reduces the
number of decisions a board maintainer has to make if the CPU model he's aiming
for is already available.
This can probably also be applied for other includes in the board headers but I
intentionally leave it for a future commit as I don't have the time to do it
all now.
Ref #4217
For base-hw Core, we used to add quite some hardware-specific include paths
to 'INC_DIR'. Generic code used to include, for instance, '<cpu.h>' and
'<translation_table.h>' using these implicit path resolutions. This commit
removes hardware-specific include paths except for
1) the '<board.h>' include paths (e.g., 'src/core/board/pbxa9'),
2) most architecture-specific include paths (e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm_v7'),
3) include paths that reflect usage of virtualization or ARM Trustzone
(e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm/virtualization').
The first category is kept because, in contrast to the former "spec"-mechanism,
the board variable used for this type of resolution is not deprecated and the
board headers are meant to be the front end of hardware-specific headers
towards generic code which is why they must be available generically via
'<board.h>'.
The second category is kept because it was suggested by other maintainers that
simple arch-dependent headers (like for the declaration of a CPU state) should
not imply the inclusion of the whole '<board.h>' and because the architecture
is given also without the former "spec"-mechanism through the type of the build
directory. I think this is questionable but am fine with it.
The third category is kept because the whole way of saying whether
virtualization resp. ARM Trustzone is used is done in an out-dated manner and
changing it now would blow up this commit a lot and exceed the time that I'm
willing to spend. This category should be subject to a future issue.
Ref #4217
The 'src/core/board/<board>/board.h' header is thought as front end of
hardware-specific headers of a given board towards the generic base-hw Core
code. Therefore it leads to problems (circular includes) if the board.h header
is included from within another hardware-specific header.
If hardware-specific headers access declarations from namespace Board in a
definition, the definition should be moved to a compilation unit that may
include board.h. If hardware-specific headers access declarations from board.h
in a declaration, they should either use the primary declaration from the
original header or, if the declaration must be selected according to the board,
another board-specific header should be introduced to reflect this abstraction.
This is applied by this commit for the current state of base-hw.
Ref #4217
It is not necessary to have a class, an object, and a generic header for the
perfomance counter. The kernel merely enables the counter using cpu registers
('msr' instructions, no MMIO) on arm_v6 and arm_v7 only. Therefore this commit
makes the header arm-specific and replaces class and global static object with
a function for enabling the counter.
Fixes#4217
Let the kernel's driver for the global IRQ controller be a member of the one
Kernel::Main object instead of having it as static variables in the drivers for
the local IRQ controllers. Note that this commit spares out renaming 'Pic' to
'Local_interrupt_controller' which would be more sensible now with the new
'Global_interrupt_controller' class. Furthermore, on ARM boards the commit
doesn't move 'Distributer' stuff to the new global IRQ controller class as they
don't have real data members (only MMIO) and can be instanciated for each CPU
anew. However, the right way would be to instanciate them only once in Main as
well.
Ref #4217
The unmanaged-singleton approach was used in this context only because of the
alignment requirement of the Core main-UTCB. This, however can also be achieved
with the new 'Aligned' utility, allowing the UTCB to be a member of the Core
main-thread object.
Ref #4217
It's sufficient to access the boot info only on kernel initialization time.
Therfore, it can remain completely hidden to the rest of the kernel inside
kernel/main.cc in the initialization function.
Ref #4217
This commit introduces the Kernel::Main class that replaces the former way of
initializing the kernel (former 'kernel_init' function) and calling the C++
kernel entry handler (former 'kernel' function). These two are now
'Main::initialize_and_handle_kernel_entry' and 'Main::handle_kernel_entry'.
Also reading the execution time of the idle threads was already moved to
'Main'. The one static Main instance is meant to successivly replace all the
global static objects of the base-hw kernel with data members of the Main
instance making the data model of the kernel much more comprehensible. The
instance and most of its interface are hidden in kernel/main.cc. There are only
rare cases where parts of the Main interface must be accessible from the
outside. This should be done in the most specific way possible (see main.h)
and, if possible, without handing out references to Main data members or the
Main instance itself.
Ref #4217
Normally, the board header can be found for each supported board under
'src/core/board/<BOARD>/board.h'. This was not the case for the board 'pc'
that was located under 'src/core/spec/x86_64/board.h'. The commit fixes this.
Ref #4217
The class name Core_thread in Kernel for the object of the first thread of
core is too generic as there can be an arbitrary number of threads in core
besides this one. Furthermore, creating a core thread has its own syscall
'new_core_thread' that isn't related in any way to Core_thread. Therefore
this commit introduces the more specific name Core_main_thread as replacement
for Core_thread.
Ref #4217
The function was only still used for reading the execution time of idle threads
of CPUs. Certainly, it is technically fine and more performant to read these
values directly from the kernel objects without doing a syscall. However,
calling cpu_pool() for it provides read and write access to a lot more than
only the execution time values. The interface via which Core directly reads
state of the kernel should be as narrow and specific as possible.
Perspectively, we want to get rid of the cpu_pool() accessor anyway. Therefore
this commit introduces Kernel::read_idle_thread_execution_time(cpu_idx) as
replacement. The function is implemented in kernel code and called by Core in
platform.cc.
Ref #4217
Apparently, there is no need for exposing the data members of Trace_source, so,
we sould better make them private before someone gets the impression that they

Ref #4217
Core used to read the kernel-reserved IRQs from the timer objects in the
kernel's CPU objects and the PIC class (inter-processor IRQ). Besides not
being "good style" to access a kernel object in Core, this becomes a problem
when trying to prevent CPU pool from being accessed via global functions.
As a solution, this commit extends the boot info to also carry an array of all
kernel-reserved IRQs.
Ref #4217
For the constructor of Kernel_object<T> there are two variants. One for the
case that it is called from Core where the kernel object (type T) must be
created via a syscall and one when it is called from within the kernel and the
kernel object can be created directly. Selecting one of these variants was done
using a bool argument to the constructor. However, this implies that the
constructor of Kernel_object<T> and that of T have the same signature in the
variadic arguments, even in the syscall case, although technically it would
then not be necessary.
This becomes a problem as soon as kernel objects created by Core shall receive
additional arguments from the kernel, for instance a reference to the global
CPU pool, and therefore stands in the way when wanting to get rid of global
statics in the kernel. Therefore, this commit introduces two constructors that
are selected through enum arguments:
! Kernel_object(Called_from_kernel, ...);
! Kernel_object(Called_from_core, ...);

The various mapping methods are modelled after the requirements of
the Intel GPUs or rather the Mesa driver back end.
With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to
sequeeze their requirements in as well. For now hijack 'map_buffer'
to provide for specifying the kind of attributes the client needs.
For now all buffers mapped in the GGTT for Intel GPUs are treated
as RW.
