When multiple threads (EMT-0..X + nic_ep) enter the very same
critical section, the use of RTCritSectTryEnter may reflect the contention
case to the Network Model (E1000). Since no one notifies the model, when the
critical section is free again, solely the next packet/event triggered by the
guest will resume the former operation. This may lead to long delays until
packets are sent actually.
Instead of using the RTCritSectTryEnter use RTCritSecEnter to avoid the
situation. All of our network code is non blocking, so the network backend
will only be contented a short time.

Issue #5045
The devio API in the Linux kernel promised to be a stable layer for our
USB host controller drivers, but the additional bookkeeping and dynamic
allocations increase CPU overhead in a way that we do not accept further.
Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and
out of the packet stream from the clients.

Per default Tslab checks that 8 slabs incl. overhead fit into one block.
If this is not desired the template parameter 'MIN_SLABS_PER_BLOCK' can
be used to control the minimum number of blocks.

The argument was originally designated to restrict the reach of the
trace monitor but the idea remained unimplemented. It is now superseded
by the use of the trace-session label as trace-subject filter.
Issue #847
This patch changes core's TRACE service to expose trace subjects only if
their PD label matches the label of the TRACE monitor. Hence, by default,
a trace monitor can only observe itself and its child components. Only
if the trace monitor's parent rewrites the trace-session's label, the
view of trace monitor can become broader. For example, when rewriting
the trace label to an empty string "", the trace monitor becomes able to
observe the sibling components hosted in the same init instance as the
trace monitor.
To grant a trace session the special privilege of obtaining a global
system view (including the kernel's trace subjects), the top-level init
has to rewrite the session's label to an empty string. At core, this
specific label "init -> " is handled as a special case that discharges
the filtering/namespacing of trace subjects.
Note that the trace-subject label as reported as subject info is now
given relative to the label of the trace session. As a nice side effect
of this change, the pkg/test-trace_logger works now when executed by the
depot_autopilot as well as via the test.run script.

This option is useful in cases where batching is configured and
failing to fetch a resource should not influence the over-all
result.

In the scope of alloc_dma_buffer(), Out_of_* exceptions might be thrown
at different stages. By adding a Guard object, we make sure to rollback
already created objects accordingly.

As a consequence of the adding IOMMU support to the platform driver,
additional RAM and CAPs are needed for setting up IO page-table
structures.
genodelabs/genode#5002
The platform driver needs additional 2MB of RAM for managing IO page
tables (root table and context tables) that are shared among sessions.
genodelabs/genode#5002
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.
genodelabs/genode#5002
DMA buffer allocations are always performed as full pages. However, they
got mapped into the IOMMU domain using the requested size, which may not
be a multiple of the page size. This behaviour was introduced as a regression
by #4761 and is corrected by this commit.

The virtual add_range()-method must not be called from the base-class
constructor since the derived class is not be fully initialized at
this point.

The sculpt manager views only launchers in the + menu that are not present in
the runtime already. However, this check was missing when finding the right
launcher on a click event inside that menu. This could cause the manager to
try deploying an already deployed launcher a again (without any effect)
instead of deploying the launcher that was actually clicked.

This is a follow-up commit to the adaptation of the run scripts to the
consistent use of [build_artifacts] (issue #4860).
The missing build of libm remained undetected until the recent removal
of implicit shared-library builds (issue #5061).
This patch removes the implicit build of all shared libraries a target
depends on. Targets only depend on the respective ABIs instead. This
alleviates the need to locally build complex shared libraries (think of
Qt) when developing applications. Instead, application developers can
use binary depot archives.
The implementation splits the mk/lib.mk file into three files:
- mk/a.mk for building one static library (.lib.a)
- mk/so.mk for building one shared object (.lib.so)
- mk/abi.mk for building one ABI stub (.abi.so)
Furthermore, the commit moves messages and the collection of build
artifacts to var/libdeps, triggers the build of kernel-specific
ld-<kernel>.lib.so, and prunes the lib-dependency tree at ABIs.
Fixes#5061
- finished tx ack queue should be checked before new allocations
- packets which got not sent must be released in packet stream,
otherwise the network packet stream gets filled up and starves after a while
- rRegister for ack avail packets and process them concurrently to EMT-* threads
by nic_ep thread (thanks @Peter for the findings) + add synchronization.
- add sigh_ready_to_submit to network adapter to improve latency by notifying
the network model explicitly in case we had a full packet stream error case
(_retry resp. VERR_TRY_LATER)
Fixes#5045
This patch mirrors the interface of Sculpt's distant_runtime to the
sandboxed_runtime variant, allowing the configuration of xpos, ypos,
min_width, min_height, opaque, and background color.
Issue #5008
This patch moves the text-editing facility of app/text_area to a
text-area widget as part of the dialog library. This has two benefits.
First, it simplifies app/text_area by using the dialog API. Second, the
editor can now easily be reused by other dialog-API-based applications.
Fixes#5058
The 'Dynamic_array' utility is used by the text_area as internal
representation of text. As a prerequisite step of making the text
editing features generally available as a text-area widget, the
utility must become public.

This method allows for the inquiry of the current hovering state,

Issue #5053
Several DMA pools of the EHCI/UHCI USB host controller driver declare
that buffers should not cross 4K boundaries. If this property is not met
fatal errors like NMIs may happen during USB operation.
Discussed in issue #5000
Certain USB devices do not react anymore after an endpoint reset
in the use case of USB devices passed through to a virtual machine.
When investigating the only USB session client that needs the
flush transfers request - namely the Qemu xhci model used in
VirtualBox - there seems to be no need to reset the endpoint in fact.

USB devio splits large transaction into 16 KiB buffers in scatter-gather

of issue #4809 "DDE Linux struct page object aliasing".
