This fixes the region-map component implementation in core, which uses a
'Genode::Weak_ptr<Genode::Region_map_component> _faulting_region_map'
member. This member is assigned a valid weak_ptr or an invalid weak_ptr
according to the state machine.
Fixes#3012
The new 'conditional' method simplifies the typical use case for
'Constructible' objects where the constructed/destructed state depends
on a configuration parameter. The method alleviates the need to
re-implement the logic again and again.
The patch also removes the 'Reconstructible' constructor arguments
because they are unused.
Fixes#3006
Ensure that a '\0' always appears at the end of the ouput of the XML
generator. Previously, exceptions during the Node(...) constructor
might have prevented this. This commit also extends the xml_generator
test to drive a harder test on exceptions in the Xml_generator.
Issue #2953
When the functor provided to the Node constructor throws an exception,
do revert all changes in reverse order. Previously, the changes made
to the parent node were not considered by the exception handler which
caused unnecessary characters to remain in the out buffer for each
reverted node.
Issue #2953
1) The loop for determining the line length read from a character offset
before checking whether the offset is smaller than the given string
length. This could have caused access outside the string buffer.
2) The routine for determining the line length first seeked for the
offset of the last real character of the line and than added one for
getting the length but only if the following character was '\n'. This
has to be done for any other line-terminating character too. The only
case where you don't want to do this is when the end of the whole
string is reached.
Issue #2967
This patch fixes a problem in the non-const 'for_each' method of the
'Registry' data structure. If an exception was thrown from within the
functor of the 'for_each' operation, the not yet processed items of the
registry were dropped from the registry, which is not expected.
The new base/xsd/config.inc defines generic XSD types such as 'Boolean' or
'Session_label'. It can be included in config XSD files by using:
! <xs:include schemaLocation="file://${GENODE_CONFIG_INC}"/>
The string ${GENODE_CONFIG_INC} is replaced by the run tool with the
above mentionened file path.
Issue #2897
By adding a sanity check for the validity of the PD session targeted by
a transfer_quota operation, the corner case of an incomplete PD session
of a child can no longer trigger an 'Invalid_session' exception.
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
Previously, the trace control of a thread was initialized in its
constructor (which is generic for all components). This has the
disadvantage that the CPU-session-pointer member of the thread might not
be valid at this point. And it cannot be replaced by using the
"deprecated_env" CPU session neither as constructing the deprecated
environment in causes troubles in Core. But as the trace control
shouldn't be needed in Core anyway, the initialization can be moved to
the Thread::start implementation of non-core components. This code
already takes care of the CPU session pointer.
Fixes#2901
This patch addresses a corner case revealed by the resource_request test
on seL4 after changing the child-destruction handling with commit "base:
close PD on 'close_all_sessions'". During the destruction of the PD
session, the backing store (session-local RAM dataspace factory) of the
signal broker's slab was destroyed before destructing the signal broker.
Instantiating the signal broker after the RAM dataspace factory fixes
the destruction order.
This patch improves the handling of the corner case where a client
vanishes while a session request is in flight (CREATE_REQUESTED but
not yet AVAILABLE). This corner case could be sporadically observed with
the init_loop test on base-linux.
In the original version, the session would eventually be delivered but
never picked up by anyone. Such a stale session still uses resources that
should better be released. In the new version, the parent checks for the
liveliness of the client whenever a session is delivered. If there is no
client of the session, a close request is immediately issued to the
server. The session state must be preserved until the close requests has
been answered.
This patch moves the closing of a child's PD session from the 'Child'
destructor to the 'close_all_sessions' method. This way, the child's
PD quota is immediately returned as soon as init flags a child as
'abandoned', which removes jitter from init's RAM-state reports.
The patch is supposed to make the 'init_loop.run' test much happier.
This patch ensures that session-create requests are handled after close
requests, which solves the corner case where one single-session server
receives a close and create request at the same time. E.g., when
expanding a partition with Sculpt, the gpt-write tool is removed and
part_blk is started (to execute resize2fs on top) in one step. Both
interact with the USB-block driver, which is a single-session server.
Fixes#2877
Internally, Genode::Session_label has a typedef from String<capacity()> to
String. To have this typedef public is especially useful when reading a
label from an XML node. This can then be written as
! Session_label label = node.attribute_value("label", Session_label::String());
instead of
! Session_label label = node.attribute_value("label", String<160>());
which would be less generic (Session_label cannot be used directly as there
is no appropriate ascii_to implementation).
Issue #2840
Whenever an environment session was provided by an asynchronous service,
e.g., the depot_rom of the sculpt scenario, the session quota was not
transferred to the server at session-creation time. This resulted in a
slow depletion of the server's quota over time. This patch ensures that
the delivery of session quota is consistent with the information
reported to the server as session argument.
The 'Child::_revert_quota_and_destroy' assumes to be called from the
client's context, which is normally the case when destroying sessions.
However, if a client's session outlives the client (because the
asynchronous close request to the server is still pending), the session
cleanup is performed in the context of the server. Here, the
'session_response' implementation wrongly called
'_revert_quota_and_destroy' to the effect that the session quota was
withdrawn from the server (good) but subsequently transferred back to
the server (bad). The patch replaces the call of
'_revert_quota_and_destroy' with only the first - correct - part of the
transaction.
In case of an Alloc_return error, don't free the address at 0. If this
is a managed dataspace, there could be valid attachments which then gets
lost.
Make decreasing alignment search working. Continue with lower alignment
restrictions in case the optimal alignment wish can't be fulfilled.
When an environment session is provided by a async service such as a
sibling component, the session metadata must be preserved until end of
the lifetime of the session at the server has been acknowledged by the
server. Since the session meta data of env sessions are always part of
the 'Child' object, the destruction of this object must be deferred
until this point.
This patch makes the 'List_model' utility robust against duplicated
occurrences of node IDs in the supplied XML data. If two or more XML
nodes correspond to the same model element, the existing element is
updated with the information of the subsequent XML nodes.
Issue #2778
The "create_grub2" script functionality is moved to the g2fg contrib sources
and also the GRUB2 head image (tool/grub2-head.img). The head image is now
partitioned as GPT and bootable in BIOS legacy mode.
The sole existence of shared-object dependencies lead to fatal
static-constructor errors before. Now, ldso checks if the ctors section
of objects in the init list are non-empty before whining.
Issue #2759
When the former trace buffer implementation wrapped, the last entry
according to commit order couldn't be detected anymore. Now, the last
committed entry is always followed by an entry with length 0.
As a downside of this, there are now two meanings of "last" entry: It
means either that the entry marks the empty padding after the entry with
the highest memory address or that it actually marks the end of the
buffer according to commit order. This is an example state of the buffer
with the two types of "last" entry:
last last
+-------------+------------+---+---------+-------------+------------+---+-------+
| len3 data3 | len4 data4 | 0 | empty | len1 data1 | len2 data2 | 0 | empty |
+-------------+------------+---+---------+-------------+------------+---+-------+
If the entry with the highest memory address fits perfectly, the first
type of "last" entry is not needed:
last
+------------+--------------------+---+-------+-------------+-------------------+
| len3 data3 | len4 data4 | 0 | empty | len1 data1 | len2 data2 |
+------------+--------------------+---+-------+-------------+-------------------+
If the buffer didn't wrap so far, there is only one "last" entry that
has both meanings:
last
+--------------------------+------------+-------------+---+---------------------+
| len1 data1 | len2 data2 | len3 data3 | 0 | empty |
+--------------------------+------------+-------------+---+---------------------+

The Ada runtime can now be set with the ADA_RTS variable. The ada
library builds a (currently) minimal runtime from the gcc sources that
come with Genode (to stay consistent with the used compiler) and sets
the runtime path accordingly. It is build as a shared library ada.lib.so
which needs to be added to the build files.
I split the existing Ada test into program and library, and moved it
to libports as it depends on the runtime library residing in this
repository too.
Fixes#2748
Integrate the code of the Alarm framework directly into the Timeout
framework. The former Alarm-framework methods are all private to the
corresponding classes of the Timeout framework and get prefixed with
'_alarm__'. The latter avoids name clashes and makes it easier to
simplify the code later.
Issue #2704
Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
Fixes#2547
AVL trees can't be copied with the default copy constructor as the
parent pointer of the first item of both of the resulting trees would
point to the original tree. Copying an AVL node, however, generally
violates the integrity of the corresponding tree. The copy constructor
of Avl_tree is used in some places but in those places it can be
replaced easily. So, this commit deletes the copy constructor of
Avl_node_base which makes Avl_node and Avl_tree non-copyable.
Issue #2654
On platforms without nic or audio driver support, the corresponding
functions to return the correct names should return a meaningful
name instead of an empty list. Otherwise, in an erroneous run-script
that calls those functions to append names to the boot modules
the whole 'bin' directory is appended instead, which leads to big
image files or errors when linking the boot modules to core.
Previously, base/trace/buffer.h included base/thread.h which includes
base/trace/logger.h which includes base/trace/buffer.h.
Removed the base/thread.h include in base/trace/buffer.h as it is not
needed.
Issue #2654
With this patch, init responds to the exit of a child by closing all
sessions of the child. E.g., if a child is a GUI application, its
nitpicker session is closed at the time of exit, not at the time when
the start node disappears from init's configuration.
Since this change requires a modification of the 'Genode::Child' class,
it takes the chance to make the child-destruction less brutal. The
new version ensures that all threads of the destructed subsystem are
destructed before other sessions, in particular PD sessions. This
eliminates spurious page-fault warnings during the child destruction.
On Fiasco.OC, closing the CPU session of a thread while being called by
the thread causes a deadlock. Hence, we skip the eager destruction of
CPU sessions on this kernel.

written to the dst buffer. This way, if the content length was greater than
dst_len, decoded_content wrote to memory out of bounds.

This patch enables the warnings -Wextra, -Weffc++, and -Werror for
compiling Genode components. It thereby helps us to detect bugs like
uninitialized member variables or missing virtual destructors at compile
time. The warning level is defined via the new 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT'
variable. For targets that compile 3rd-party code where this warning
level is not applicable, the variable may be explictly set to an empty
value in the corresponding build-description file.
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
The run tool now by default checks configurations with target-specific
XML schemata. Each component may define a config schema file in its
target.mk via the CONFIG_XSD variable. When the run tool has checked an
configuration of an init instance, it additionally goes through the
start nodes of the config. For each start node it checks whether there
is an XSD file that matches. If so, the run tool also checks the config
of the start node (if existant). This is done recursively. I.e., also
the child configs of a sub-init of a sub-init of the top-level init
receive a config check.
Issue #2600
In the past, we had the lock of the context we found for the rest of the scope
of pending_signal. Now we use for_each_locked to find the context and the
lock is released as soon as we return from for_each_locked. Thus, we need to
lock the context again before returning it to avoid that the copy constructor
during the return reads values that are currently changing.
Fixes#2532
As noted above the former enum for the local-attachment address we
discovered address clashes on current Linux installations, esp. 32-bit
runtime on 64-bit Linux. The local_attach_addr is now configurable in
the run script and the memory maps heuristics were removed.
* Instead of always re-load page-tables when a thread context is switched
only do this when another user PD's thread is the next target,
core-threads are always executed within the last PD's page-table set
* remove the concept of the mode transition
* instead map the exception vector once in bootstrap code into kernel's
memory segment
* when a new page directory is constructed for a user PD, copy over the
top-level kernel segment entries on RISCV and X86, on ARM we use a designated
page directory register for the kernel segment
* transfer the current CPU id from bootstrap to core/kernel in a register
to ease first stack address calculation
* align cpu context member of threads and vms, because of x86 constraints
regarding the stack-pointer loading
* introduce Align_at template for members with alignment constraints
* let the x86 hardware do part of the context saving in ISS, by passing
the thread context into the TSS before leaving to user-land
* use one exception vector for all ARM platforms including Arm_v6

* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area

Ref #2091
In the past, a signal context, that was chosen for handling by
'Signal_receiver::pending_signal and always triggered again before
the next call of 'pending_signal', caused all other contexts behind
in the list to starve. This was the case because 'pending_signal'
always took the first pending context in its context list.
We avoid this problem now by handling pending signals in a round-robin
fashion instead.
Ref #2532
Ensure that the timer does not handle timeouts again within 1000
microseconds after the last handling of timeouts. This makes denial of
service attacks harder. This commit does not limit the rate of timeout
signals handled inside the timer but it causes the timer to do it less
often. If a client continuously installs a very small timeout at the
timer it still causes a signal to be submitted to the timer each time
and some extra CPU time to be spent in the internal handling method. But
only every 1000 microseconds this internal handling causes user timeouts
to trigger.
If we would want to limit also the call of the internal handling method
to ensure that CPU time is spent beside the RPCs only every 1000
microseconds, things would get more complex. For instance, on NOVA
Time_source::schedule_timeout(0) must be called each time a new timeout
gets installed and becomes head of the scheduling queue. We cannot
simply overwrite the already running timeout with the new one.

This patch merges two similar rules, which create content at 'include'

Fixes#2521
In nested scenarios like driver_manager.run, the initial session quota
for IO_PORT, IO_PORT, and IRQ sessions is expectedly insufficient.
However, the condition is properly handled by re-attemping the request
with a slightly increased quota. Still, core prints a warning each time
the request is denied for quota reasons, which spams the log. This patch
removes the non-critical message.
This should actually never happen. However if it happens, be a bit robuster
and don't provide the memory for re-use (which causes tons of other trouble
afterwards).
Issue #2505
There are hardware timers whose frequency can't be expressed as
ticks-per-microsecond integer-value because only a ticks-per-millisecond
integer-value is precise enough. We don't want to use expensive
floating-point values here but nonetheless want to translate from ticks
to time with microseconds precision. Thus, we split the input in two and
translate both parts separately. This way, we can raise precision by
shifting the values to their optimal bit position. Afterwards, the results
are shifted back and merged together again.
As this algorithm is not so trivial anymore and used by at least three
timer drivers (base-hw/x86_64, base-hw/cortex_a9, timer/pit), move it to a
generic header to avoid redundancy.

When building Genode on a Linux system running in a Xen Dom0, the 'xen'
run target can run a Genode scenario in a Xen DomU.
Usage: in build/x86_*/etc/build.conf, define:
RUN_OPT = --include boot_dir/$(KERNEL) --include image/iso --include power_on/xen --include log/xen --include power_off/xen
The Xen DomU runs in HVM mode and loads Genode from an ISO image. Serial
log output is printed to the console and graphical output is shown in an
SDL window.
The Xen DomU ist managed using the 'xl' command line tool and it is
possible to add configuration options in the 'xen_args' variable in a run
script. Common options are:
- disabling the graphical output:
append xen_args { sdl="0" }
- configuring a network device:
append xen_args { vif=\["model=e1000,mac=02:00:00:00:01:01,bridge=xenbr0"\] }
- configuring USB input devices:
append xen_args { usbdevice=\["mouse","keyboard"\] }
Note: the 'xl' tool requires super-user permissions and interactive
password input can be troublesome in combination with 'expect' and is not
practical for automatic tests. For this reason, the current implementation
assumes that no password input is needed when running 'sudo xl', which can
be achieved by creating a file '/etc/sudoers.d/xl' with the content
'user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/xl'
(where 'user' is the Linux user name).
