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
Do not import a freshly allocated buffer to all contexts eagerly.
Instead check buffer list in context's 'exec_buffer' call and import
only buffers needed and not present before GPU execution. This leads to
improved performance for applications that use many OpenGL contexts
(e.g., VirtualBox 6).
issue #4380
Retrieve multiple GPU sessions from VFS plugin, take advantage of buffer
import/export functionallity in order to implement gem context support.
Multiple contexts share all GPU buffers, but use different GPU sessions
and thus, differnt page tables and hardware contexts.
issue #4380
Synchronize GPU completion by calling 'read' of the vfs_gpu plugin. This
enables pthreads to wait for GPU completions instead of the main EP.

* let iris handle buffer management, this implies that BOs are mapped to
the PPGTT during buffer execution and unmapped by iris later, for this
to work buffers need to be unmapped when allocating cached BOs

Only parse output of the test programs one-by-one and ignore log
messages from other components not starting with '[init -> test$number]'.
Fixes sporadic failures on KERNEL=sel4 due to the following warning from

The socket type (in the lower bits) maybe ORed with SOCK_CLOEXEC and
SOCK_NONBLOCK options (in the higher bits). Currently, supported values
are SOCK_STREAM (1) and SOCK_DGRAM (2), so just take the lower 2 bits.
This fixes treating `SOCK_STREAM` sockets as UDP if additional flags
were set.
Fixes#4370
The path for the `nameserver` file was fixed to `/socket/nameserver`.
So, if the socket directory was configured differing from `/socket`, DNS
did not work. Now the default path for the `nameserver` takes into
account the path configured in the `socket` libc config attribute.

Issue #4329.
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
This patch replaces the 'Ram_allocator::alloc' RPC function by a
'try_alloc' function, which reflects errors as 'Attempt' return value
instead of an exception.

Always instantiating a network device with id `net0`, removes the need to call
append_qemu_nic_args in run scripts unless we want to add forwarding

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.
Fixes#4310.
Those symbols are not satisfied by any code or dependency of libm. As
result calling cprojf function will always crash on Genode. This crash
can be turned into link time error by adding --no-undefined to LD_OPT.
This patch provides the missing symbols by including isninf.c in libm
build.
Fixes#4299
Apparently the iris driver does not make use of tiling by the kernel, so
we shortcut the 'SET_TILING' call to keep iris happy with this quickfix.
However, tiling information may get lost, if the iris driver ever calls
'MMAP_GTT' and no fence is configured for the buffer. A follow-up commit
should address this shortcoming in the future.
Issue #4284
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.
Issue #3767
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.
Fixes#4287
'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.
By using the cached_fs_rom instead of fs_rom, each client obtains the
same (read-only) copy of the shared library, avoiding a RAM resource
request when running mulitple GPU applications at the same time.
With this patch, Sculpt is able to host at least 3 Mesa applications.

This new version of the system_clock pkg does no longer depend on the
presence of an external 'Rtc' service as previously provided by the
Sculpt base system. Instead, it hosts the rtc_drv inside the subsystem.
Because rtc_drv is board-dependent, the system_clock pkg is named
system_clock-pc now.

Some guests don't handle remote wake up correctly causing devices to

Thanks to Peter for the initial fix.

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.
Issue #4265.
This call allows for checking if the given execution buffer has been
completed and complements the completion signal. Initially the GPU
multiplexer always sent such a signal when the currently scheduled
execution buffer has been completed. During enablement of the 'iris'
driver it became necessary to properly check of sequence number.
In case of the Intel GPU multiplexer the sequence numbers are
continous, which prompted the greater-than-or-equal check in the
DRM back end. By hidding this implementation detail behind the
interface, GPU drivers are free to deal with sequence numbers any
way they like and allows for polling in the client, where the
completion signal is now more of a progress signal.
Issue #4265.
The current info implementation (as RPC) is limited in a few ways:
* The amount of data that may be transferred is constrained by the
underlying base platform
* Most information never changes during run time but is copied
nonetheless
* The information differs depending on the used GPU device and
in its current implementation only contains Intel GPU specific
details
With this commit the 'info' RPC call is replaced with the
'info_dataspace' call that transfers the capability for the dataspace
containing the information only. This is complemented by a client
local 'attached_info' call that allows for getting typed access to
the information. The layout of the information is moved to its own
and GPU-specific header file, e.g., 'gpu/info_intel.h'
Issue #4265.
Rather than using the dataspace capability directly, let the client
choose its own local identifier that is linked to the underlying
capability.
Fixes#4265.
* Wait for for completion before return from 'execbuffer2'. This makes
buffer execution synchronous.
* Because the Iris driver manages the virtual address space of the GPU
and creates one GEM context for each batch buffer we have to map/unmap
all buffer objects before and after batch buffer execution.
issue #4260
This patch adds a switch to internal poll function in libssh that
allows to force this function to immediately return without actually
polling for data and in consequence processing this data. This switch
is used to avoid calling callback functions when flushing output
streams which caused locks due to recursive access to internal
ssh_terminal sessions registry.

WARNING: BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY!
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
How to adjust:
At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The attribute
value remains unaltered.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The new attribute name 'dns_config_from' reflects that also other aspects of
the DNS configuration of the denominated domain are used by the DHCP server
that holds the attribute. This commit is a preparation for forwarding also the
domain name (DHCP option 15) with the mechanism behind the attribute.
Ref #4246
Via a new configuration attribute, the user can decide whether the router
should answer dropped fragmented IPv4 with an ICMP "destination unreachable"
packet and, if so, which value the ICMP code field of this packet should have.
The default is that the router doesn't send such responses (silently dropping
fragmented IPv4). The behavior is tested by the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Fixes#4236
If the new attribute 'dropped_fragm_ipv4' of the <report> tag in the NIC router
config is set "yes", the router will report the number of packets that were
dropped per interface respectively domain because fragmented IPv4 is not
supported. The default is not to report the counter. The behavior is tested by
the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Ref #4236
The NIC router used to ignore the IPv4 header fields "More fragments" and
"Fragment offset" completely. Therefore higher-level protocols of fragmented
IPv4 were interpreted wrong because each fragment was considered a self-
standing packet, expecting, for instance UDP/TCP headers somewhere inside of
the UDP/TCP data field. Normally, such packets were dropped as soon as the
UDP/TCP checksum check failed because of the misinterpretation. However,
it was also possible for fragmented IPv4 to pass the router although normally
only partially.
IPv4 fragmentation support in the router would introduce some potential
security risks and is presumably not an easy endeavor. So, for now, we settled
on not supporting IPv4 fragmentation. With this commit, the router simply drops
all fragmented IPv4. This is reflected to the log for each fragment as "drop
packet (fragmented IPv4 not supported)" when 'verbose_packet_drop="yes"' is
configured.
The new test 'run/nic_router_ipv4_fragm' is an automated test for this
behavior. The test is added to the autopilot list.
