This accessor is useful to eagerly expand the slab with new slab blocks,
side stepping the slab's built-in policy for the allocation of new slab
blocks.
This is particularly important when using the slab for allocating the
cap space meta-data for the base-hw kernel. To guarantee that the slab
gets never exhausted in the kernel, it is expanded before entering the
kernel.
With the introduction of the 'Out_of_caps' exception type, the slab
needs to consider exceptions during the call of '_new_slab_block' by
reverting the 'nested' state.
This commit moves the headers residing in `repos/base/include/spec/*/drivers`
to `repos/base/include/drivers/defs` or repos/base/include/drivers/uart`
respectively. The first one contains definitions about board-specific MMIO
iand RAM addresses, or IRQ lines. While the latter contains device driver
code for UART devices. Those definitions are used by driver implementations
in `repos/base-hw`, `repos/os`, and `repos/dde-linux`, which now need to
include them more explicitely.
This work is a step in the direction of reducing 'SPEC' identifiers overall.
Ref #2403
For asynchronously provided sessions, the parent has to maintain the
session state as long as the server hasn't explicitly responded to a
close request. For this reason, the lifetime of such session states is
bound to the server, not the client.
When the server responds to a close request, the session state gets
freed. The 'session_response' implementation does not immediately
destroy the session state but delegates the destruction to a client-side
callback, which thereby also notifies the client. However, the code did
not consider the case where the client has completely vanished at
session-response time. In this case, we need to drop the session state
immediately.
Fixes#2391
Originally, the spec files for less specific SPEC values were include
via the 'select_from_repositories' function. This implies that BASE_DIR
must always be present in the list of 'REPOSITORIES'. Otherwise the
spec files won't be found. By explicitly including sub specs from
'$(BASE_DIR)/mk', we lift this restriction.
The <build-dir>/bin/ directory used to contain symbolic links to the
unstripped build results. However, since the upcoming depot tool
extracts the content of binary archives from bin/, the resulting
archives would contain overly large unstripped binaries, which is
undesired. On the other hand, always stripping the build results is not
a good option either because we rely of symbol information during
debugging.
This patch changes the installation of build results such that a new
'debug/' directory is populated besides the existing 'bin/' directory.
The debug directory contains symbolic links to the unstripped build
results whereas the bin directory contains stripped binaries that are
palatable for packaging (depot tool) and for assembling boot images (run
tool).
By installing the core object to bin/, we follow the same convention as
for regular binaries. This, in turn, enables us to ship core in a
regular binary archive. The patch also adjusts the run tool to pick up
the core object from bin/ for the final linking stage.
The use of 'select_from_repositories' for locating the linker script for
dynamically-linked executables only works if 'BASE_DIR' appears in the
list of 'REPOSITORIES'. This is the case when using the build system in
the traditional way but it is not desired when building binary archives
of individual components.
The base class of Registered must provide a virtual destructor to enable
safe deletion with just a base class pointer. This requirement can be
lifted by using Registered_no_delete in places where the deletion
property is not needed.
Fixes#2331
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
This patch destructs the environment sessions for the binary and the
dynamic linker along with the other environment sessions to avoid a
warning about reverting quota that occurs when attempting to close
these sessions too late.
This patch addresses the corner cases where an environment session
could not be routed, i.e., if an environment LOG log session is
routed to a non-existing child.
This patch extends the constructor of 'Local_connection' with an
optional 'label' argument, which was previously passed implicitly as
part of the 'args' argument. Keeping the label separate from 'args'
enables us to distinguish the client-specified label from a label that
resulted from a server-side label as it is used when rewriting a label
of an environment session (i.e., the binary name) in init's routing
policy. In principle, this patch eliminates the need for init's
explicite handling of the binary name via the '<binary>' node, or
at least allows us to simplity the binary-node handling.
The race may happen when element objects get destructed by another thread then
the thread handling the for_each loop. In this case it may happen that the
object is already destructed (left the ~Element destructor) but the thread
handling the loop touches the invalid memory afterwards (the Element lock).

By separating the plain MMIO access implementation from the generic bit
and offset logic of registers, we can now use the latter also with other
types of register access like I2C. The register and MMIO front-ends have
not changed due to the separation.
Ref #2196
With the commit "init: session-label rewriting", the stack usage
increased due to the handling of session-label strings as local
variables. The stack overrun occurred in the vmm scenario on
base-hw.
There was a race when the component entrypoint wanted to do
'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal'. In this function it raises a flag for
the signal proxy thread to notice that the entrypoint also wants to
block for signals. When the flag is set and the signal proxy wakes up
with a new signal, it tried to cancel the blocking of the entrypoint.
However, if the entrypoint had not reached the signal blocking at this
point, the cancel blocking failed without a solution. Now, the new
Kernel::cancel_next_signal_blocking call solves the problem by storing a
request to cancel the next signal blocking of a thread immediately
without blocking itself.
Ref #2284
It can happen that when Cpu_free_component is constructed the insertion
of the object through 'manage' succeeds for the EP put not for the pager
EP, which in turn raises an Out_of_meta_data exception. Because we are
within the constructor, the descstructor is not called, leading to a
dangling object pool entry for the EP.
issue #2289
If not dissolved in ~Entrypoint, the signal proxy is found within NOVA's
and FOC's object pool upon Rpc_entrypoint destruction. This leads to a
deadlock because the signal proxy is destructed before the RPC EP.
issue #2284
This patch ensures that the POLICY::release is called whenever the
session creation aborted with an exception. In the original version, an
exception like 'Quota_exceeded' caused a single-session root interface
to deny subsequent session requests.
This patch enhances the 'Child' and 'Child_policy' with the ability to
separate the different steps of bootstrapping children. If the
'Child_policy::initiate_env_sessions()' returns false, the child's
environment sessions remain unrouted at construction time. This way,
child objects for many children can be initialized to a state that
allows the children to represent services for other children. Therefore,
session routing can be applied before any child executes.
At this stage, the environment RAM sessions of all children can be
created. Note that this step still has the limitation that RAM sessions
are generally expected to be provided by either the parent or a local
service.
Once all children are equipped with RAM, they can in principle receive
session-quota donations. Hence, all other environment sessions can now
be arbitrarily routed and initiated.
Once the environment of a child is complete, the child's process and
initial thread is created.
This patch improves the accounting for the backing store of
session-state meta data. Originally, the session state used to be
allocated by a child-local heap partition fed from the child's RAM
session. However, whereas this approach was somehow practical from a
runtime's (parent's) point of view, the child component could not count
on the quota in its own RAM session. I.e., if the Child::heap grew at
the parent side, the child's RAM session would magically diminish. This
caused two problems. First, it violates assumptions of components like
init that carefully manage their RAM resources (and giving most of them
away their children). Second, if a child transfers most of its RAM
session quota to another RAM session (like init does), the child's RAM
session may actually not allow the parent's heap to grow, which is a
very difficult error condition to deal with.
In the new version, there is no Child::heap anymore. Instead, session
states are allocated from the runtime's RAM session. In order to let
children pay for these costs, the parent withdraws the local session
costs from the session quota donated from the child when the child
initiates a new session. Hence, in principle, all components on the
route of the session request take a small bite from the session quota to
pay for their local book keeping
Consequently, the session quota that ends up at the server may become
depleted more or less, depending on the route. In the case where the
remaining quota is insufficient for the server, the server responds with
'QUOTA_EXCEEDED'. Since this behavior must generally be expected, this
patch equips the client-side 'Env::session' implementation with the
ability to re-issue session requests with successively growing quota
donations.
For several of core's services (ROM, IO_MEM, IRQ), the default session
quota has now increased by 2 KiB, which should suffice for session
requests to up to 3 hops as is the common case for most run scripts. For
longer routes, the retry mechanism as described above comes into effect.
For the time being, we give a warning whenever the server-side quota
check triggers the retry mechanism. The warning may eventually be
removed at a later stage.
This method is a hook to enable a runtime to respond to state changes.
In particular, in init this hook is used to trigger the generation of a
new state report, if configured.
Furthermore, the patch introduces the 'generate_client_side_info' and
'generate_server_side_info' methods to the 'Session_state', which
generates an XML representation of the session states to appear in
reports produced by init.
Issue #2246
Normally, the platform driver helpers adapt the global run variables directly
via append. But the introduction of a more elegant run script style, that
incorporates dependent strings inline may be a good idea. Thus, we need the
backends of the helpers available as functions that return their string rather
than appending it.
The old interface still exists and uses the new interface as backend.
Ref #2193
The new return value of 'resolve_session_request' allows the child
policy to define the label used as the policy selector at the server.
Because this patch introduces the distinction of the child-provided
label from the label as presented to the server along with the session
request, the latter is now handled as a dedicated 'Session_state'
argument.
Issue #2248
There existed a race when 'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal' is called form
a RPC context, because the 'signal_proxy' or 'main' will block and the
signal semaphore, when the EP then calls 'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal',
the signal proxy is woken up ands sends an RPC to the EP, leading to a
dead lock if no further signal arrive, because the EP will then remain
blocked in the signal semaphore.
Therefore, for this case, the signal proxy will now perform a semaphore
up operation and does not perform an RPC if the EP is within
'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal'.
A Signal_handler may schedule a hook function that is executed after the
signal handler returned. This can be used if the hook function may
trigger a (nested) signal handler by means of
wait_and_dispatch_one_signal(). Otherwise, an occurrence of the same
signal that triggered the original signal handler results in a dead lock
just before calling the nested handler (due to the Signal_context
destruction lock).
Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap

First, calls to manage and dissolve signal contexts now check if the

Last, we ensure that processing of incoming signal was deblocked by the

already queued signal are handled.

This function returns the information whether the used platform relies
on USB HID for interactive scenarios by default as is the case for most
ARM platforms. In contrast, for x86 the USB driver can be omitted because
we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).
If the detach address is not the beginning of the region, one gets:
"virtual void Genode::Allocator_avl_base::free(void*): given

Instead, print an explicit warning in front of the detach call.
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.

This commit addresses the situation where an environment session
outlives the session-providing service. In this case, the env session
got already invaidated at the destruction time of the server. However,
the underlying session-state structure continues to exist until the
client is destructed. During the eventual destruction of such a dangling
environment session, we have to be careful not to interact with the
no-longer existing service.

This patch addresses the corner case of destructing a child that

This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely

This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.
To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
These functions are marked as always inline through the 'SELF_RELOC' macro. This

Fixes#2203
This patch makes the benefit of the recently introduced unified Genode
ABI available to developers by enabling the use of multiple kernels from
within a single build directory. The create_builddir tool has gained a
new set of kernel-agnostic platform arguments such as x86_32, or panda.
Most build targets within directories are in principle compatible with
all kernels that support the selected hardware platform. To execute a
scenario via the run tool, one has to select the kernel to use by
setting the 'KERNEL' argument in the build configuration
(etc/build.conf). Alternatively, the 'KERNEL' can be specified as
command-line argument of the Genode build system, e.g.:
make run/log KERNEL=nova
This allows us to easily switch from one kernel to another without
rebuilding any Genode component except for the very few kernel-specific
ones.
The new version of the 'create_builddir' tool is still compatible with
the old version. The old kernel-specific build directories can still be
created. However, those variants will eventually be removed.
Note that the commit removes the 'ports-foc' repository from the
generated 'build.conf' files. As this is only meaningful for 'foc',
I did not want to include it in the list of regular repositories (as
visible in a 'x86_32' build directory). Hence, the repository must
now be manually added in order to use L4Linux.
Issue #2190
This patch removes the manually maintained symbol map from the dynamic
linker. This way, the symbol map stays in sync with the ABI and - more
importantly - no longer uses wildcards. So the symbols exported by the
dynamic linker are strictly limited by the ABI.
Issue #2190
This patch changes the child-construction procedure to allow the routing
of environment sessions to arbitrary servers, not only to the parent.
In particular, it restores the ability to route the LOG session of the
child to a LOG service provided by a child of init. In principle, it
becomes possible to also route the immediate child's PD, CPU, and RAM
environment sessions in arbitrary ways, which simplifies scenarios that
intercept those sessions, e.g., the CPU sampler.
Note that the latter ability should be used with great caution because
init needs to interact with these sessions to create/destruct the child.
Normally, the sessions are provided by the parent. So init is safe at
all times. If they are routed to a child however, init will naturally
become dependent on this particular child. For the LOG session, this is
actually not a problem because even though the parent creates the LOG
session as part of the child's environment, it never interacts with the
session directly.
Fixes#2197
This patch removes possible ambiguities with respect to the naming of
kernel-dependent binaries and libraries. It also removes the use of
kernel-specific global side effects from the build system. The reach of
kernel-specific peculiarities has thereby become limited to the actual
users of the respective 'syscall-<kernel>' libraries.
Kernel-specific build artifacts are no longer generated at magic places
within the build directory (like okl4's includes, or the L4 build
directories of L4/Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, or the build directories of
various kernels). Instead, such artifacts have been largely moved to the
libcache. E.g., the former '<build-dir>/l4/' build directory for the L4
build system resides at '<build-dir>/var/libcache/syscall-foc/build/'.
This way, the location is unique to the kernel. Note that various tools
are still generated somewhat arbitrarily under '<build-dir>/tool/' as
there is no proper formalism for building host tools yet.
As the result of this work, it has become possible to use a joint Genode
build directory that is usable with all kernels of a given hardware
platform. E.g., on x86_32, one can now seamlessly switch between linux,
nova, sel4, okl4, fiasco, foc, and pistachio without rebuilding any
components except for core, the kernel, the dynamic linker, and the timer
driver. At the current stage, such a build directory must still be
created manually. A change of the 'create_builddir' tool will follow to
make this feature easily available.
This patch also simplifies various 'run/boot_dir' plugins by removing
the option for an externally hosted kernel. This option remained unused
for many years now.
Issue #2190
The header is foc-specific. It used to shadow the generic one provided
by the base repository, which contradicts with the kernel-agnostic
Genode API. Hence, it had to be moved to a foc-specific location.
This patch decouples the kernel-specific implementation of the dynamic
linker from its kernel-agnostic binary interface. The name of the
kernel-specific dynamic linker binary now corresponds to the kernel,
e.g., 'ld-linux.lib.so' or 'ld-nova.lib.so'. Applications are no longer
linked directly against a concrete instance of the dynamic linker but
against a shallow stub called 'ld.lib.so'. This stub contains nothing
but the symbols provided by the dynamic linker. It thereby represents
the Genode ABI.
At system-integration time, the kernel-specific run/boot_dir back ends
integrate the matching the kernel-specific variant of the dynamic linker
as 'ld.lib.so' into the boot image.
The ABI symbol file for the dynamic linker is located at
'base/lib/symbols/ld'. It contains the joint ABI of all supported
architectures. The new utility 'tool/abi_symbols' eases the creation of
such an ABI symbol file for a given shared library. Its result should be
manually inspected and edited as needed.
The patch removes the 'syscall' library from 'base_libs.mk' to avoid
polluting the kernel-agnostic ABI with kernel-specific interfaces.
Issue #2190
Issue #2195
The main thread does no longer execute application code. It is solely
responsible for the initialization of the component's entrypoint and for
retrieving asynchronous notifications. Since the stack usage is no
longer dependent on application-specific code, we can significantly
shrink it to reduce the memory footprint of components. In the worst
case - should the stack overrun - we would observe a page fault because
the stack is placed in the stack area, surrounded by guard pages.
This patch replaces the former machine-word-dependent default stack size
by the fixed value of 64 KiB which should suffice for components on both
32 and 64 bit. Previously, the default stack size on 64 bit was 128 KiB,
which is wasteful. If a component needs more stack than 64 KiB, it can
specify a custon stack size by implementing 'Component::stack_size'.
The initial stack is solely used to initialize the Genode environment
along with the application stack located in the stack area. It never
executes application code. Hence, we can make it small. To check that it
is not dimensioned too small, the patch introduces a sanity check right
before switching to the application stack.
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).

This data structure is meant as a safe alternative for a list wherever
the list is solely used to remember objects and iterate through them in
an unspecified order. One use case is the 'Service_registry'.
This data structure allows the association of objects with IDs. IDs are
kept in an AVL tree. So in contrast to a bit allocator, the ID space can be
sparsely populated and does not need to be dimensioned. The lifetime of
an ID is bound to an 'Element' object, which relieves the programmer
from manually allocating/deallocating IDs for objects.

This overload covers the common case for initializing a string from a
literal without employing the 'Output' mechanism. This way, such
strings can by constructed without calling virtual functions, which in
turn makes the 'String' usable for the 'init_rtld' phase of the dynamic
linker.
This patch fixes a race condition triggered by the thread test running
on Linux inside VirtualBox. The 'test_stack_alloc' sporadically produced
one of two errors: A segfault in the 'Thread::deinit_platform_thread' on
the attempt to access the 'native_thread' of the to-be-destructed thread
(this data structure is located on the thread's stack). Or, an error
message about a region conflict within the stack area.
The problem was that two instances of 'Region_map_mmap' issued a
sequence of munmap and mmap each. Even though each instance locked the
attach/detach operations, the lock was held per instance. In a situation
where two instances performed attach/detach operations in parallel, the
syscall sequences could interfere with each other.
In the test scenario, the two region-map instances are the test's
address space and the stack area. When creating a thread, the thread's
trace-control dataspace is attached at an arbitrary place (picked by
the Linux kernel) within the address space whereas the stack is attached
at the stack area. The problem is the following sequence:
Thread A wants to destruct a thread:
1. Remove stack from stack area
(issue unmap syscall)
2. Preserve virtual address range that was occupied from the stack
so that Linux won't use it
(issue mmap syscall)
Thread B wants to construct a thread:
1. Request trace-control dataspace from CPU session
2. Attach trace-control dataspace to address space at a location
picked by the Linux kernel
(issue mmap syscall)
The problem occurs when thread B's second step is executed in between
the steps 1 and 2 of thread A and the Linux kernel picks the
just-unmapped address as the location for the new trace-control mapping.
Now, the trace control dataspace is mapped at the virtual address that
was designated for the stack of the to-be-created thread, and the
attempt to map the real stack fails.
The patch fixes the problem by replacing the former region-map-local
locks by a component-global lock.
Furthermore, it cleans up core's implementation of the support function
for the region-map-mmap implementation, eliminating the temporary
unlocking of the region-map lock during RPC.
Instead of solving the problem to deliver ROM modules to core while booting
differently for the several kernels (multi-boot, elfweaver, core re-linking),
this commit unifies the approaches. It always builds core as a library, and
after all binaries are built from a run-script, the run-tool will link an
ELF image out of the core-library and all boot modules. Thereby, core can
access its ROM modules directly.
This approach now works for all kernels except Linux.
With this solution, there is no [build_dir]/bin/core binary available anymore.
For debugging purposes you will find a core binary without boot modules, but
with debug symbols under [run_dir].core.
