With the following changes, the hypervisor binary from bin/ as well as
from depot archives is taken as is and not unnecessarily turned inside
out.
- Remove objcopy -O elf32-i386 as our grub boots 64-bit binaries
very well
- Remove strip as bin/hypervisor is already stripped
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
Changes needed after merging `uboot` and `uboot_fit` modules into a
single module.
Additionally `image.elf` file is removed when either `image.itb` or
`uImage` is created, so it cannot be processed when `image/uboot` module
is loaded. Therefore `image.elf` processing is done conditionally now.
Fixes#5037
With the update to sel4 and the gcc 12, assembly instructions are generated
and used, like POPCNT. The instruction is available on our native hardware,
but not emulated by the default cpu model necessarily, which leads to
undefined opcode exceptions (Qemu 4.2.1 && seL4). Additionally, the features
of the default Qemu cpu model may vary between Qemu releases and makes it
harder to correlate effects.
"-cpu phenom" does not support all CPU instructions necessary with
gcc 12 toolchain update issuing more SSSE3, e.g. pshufb.
Additionally, remove good/bad Qemu version check of outdated versions.
Issue genodelabs/genode-world#329
By default, bender will not report any serial findings anymore, if not
explicitly asked for with the 'serial' option. Without this option, an
invalid ioport is reported, so that neither the kernel nor Genode core
will make serial output.
This patch adjusts the run/image/disk plugin to search for resize2fs in
/usr/sbin, which is not included in the PATH variable on Debian by
default.
Issue #4746
The argument is superfluous because only run/image/uboot evaluated it
anyway, and the argument is always boot/image.elf. With this change, the
official semantics of run_image become: "replace the boot/image.elf file
by platform-specific file(s) at boot/ that can actually be booted".
Issue #4730
Both modules were quite similar except the the name of the FIT image
(image.itb) and the mkimage command line. FIT images are now produced by
the following RUN_OPT.
RUN_OPT += --include image/uboot --image-uboot-fit
Issue #4693
By making the use of gzip's '--best' option configurable and disabling it
by default, this patch noticably reduces the built-test cycle from 15 to
10 seconds when integrating the Sculpt system image for the PinePhone.
Fixes#4693
With "grub2: update to newer grub2 2.06 version" a regression slipped in
which makes the ISO not bootable on real hardware. The commit reverts to
the previous behaviour, to load the GRUB2 modules after boot later one by
one in the ISO format case.
Fixes#4647
An installed lighttpd HTTP server can now optionally be started to serve
the boot image with the follow run options.
--load-ipxe-lighttpd run lighttpd automatically (default: off)
--load-ipxe-lighttpd-port <port> TCP port to run lighttpd on (default: 8080)
The updated Bender version is configurable regarding the mode in which to run
the Intel HWP plugin. This can now be controlled via the new run option
'--bender-intel-hwp-mode' (only when running on NOVA). The option knows 4 valid
values 'off', 'performance', 'balanced', and 'power_saving'. When running on
NOVA, the default value applied by the run tool is 'performance'. when running
on any other kernel, the default value of Bender ('off') is used. Therefore,
when not setting the new '--bender-intel-hwp-mode' flag, the behavior is the
same as before this commit.
Fixes#4224
This patch make the use of the result of the 'build_artifacts' function
as input for 'build_boot_image' more robust. Since 'build_artifacts'
obtains binary names from the progress.log, the names of core,
ld.lib.so, and the timer correspond to the kernel-specific names.
However, 'build_boot_image' expects the kernel-agnostic names as
arguments. Kernel-specific files need special treatment when integrated
in the boot image: the kernel-specific file is copied and renamed to the
kernel-agnostic name. Without this patch, the kernel-specific file is
copied as is (e.g., ld-nova.lib.so). So the name of the ROM module is
wrong. This patch resets the kernel-specific names to the generic names
so that the special-case handling comes into effect.
This patch adds special handling for lib/<libname> arguments to the
build system, which supersedes the former LIB=<libname> mechanism.
Whereas the old mechanism was limited to a single library, the new
convention allows multiple library arguments, similar to regular
targets. The change brings the two immediate benefits.
First, the streamlining of library and target arguments allows for the
building of libraries via the 'build' command of the run tool.
Second, it alleviates the need for pseudo target.mk files for building
shared libraries that have no direct dependencies, in particular VFS
plugins.
Since this change eases the explicit creation of shared libraries
from run scripts, we may reconsider the automatic implicit building
of shared libraries driven by targets. E.g., while developing a Qt
application, a run script could import the Qt libraries from the
depot and combine those with the developed (fresh built) target without
triggering the build of the Qt libraries in the build directory.
When issueing 'make' without arguments, all targets are built. This
patch applies this behavior to libraries as well, thereby removing the
need for the base/src/lib/target.mk pseudo target as used by the CI
tools to build all libraries.
Note that target.mk files located under src/lib/ are no longer
reachable. Therefore, all run scripts that used to trigger the
build of a shared library via a pseudo target must be adapted.
E.g., 'build lib/vfs/tap' must be replaced by 'build lib/vfs_tap'.
With this patch, the LIB=<libname> option is no longer supported.
Fixes#4599
Instead of having a generic "virt_qemu" board use "virt_qemu_<arch>" in
order to have a clean distinction between boards. Current supported
boards are "virt_qemu_arm_v7a", "virt_qemu_arm_v8a", and
"virt_qemu_riscv".
issue #4034
Some devices do not answer connection attempts timely, which leads
amtterm to time out (after 60s). Using multiple attempts in 500 ms
intervals results in timely connection and complete boot logs.
Issue #4429
This patch works around 'tar' erroring out when faced with an empty list
of files:
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
This can happen when using sculpt.run for a scenario with only a runtime
but no deploy or launcher configuration.
Issue #4369
With the kernel-specific build of the dynamic linker triggered
automatically at the build stage, the artificial build step at the
boot-dir stage can be skipped.
Issue #4320
The new function 'build_artifacts' returns a list of artifacts created
by the Genode build system. The list can be supplied as argument to
the 'build_boot_image' function.
Note that the list covers only program targets and shared libraries.
Other artifacts created as side effects of custom rules are not covered.
Fixes#4368
This patch prevents the run tool from issuing 'make' in the build
directory if no build targets are specified, which prompts the build
system to build everything.
If only versioned archives are supplied to a depot function like
'create_tar_from_depot_binaries', the depot/create tool is called
with zero arguments, resulting in a help message. The patch detects
this case and skips the call.
This change keeps the version-controlled 'pubkey' and 'download' files
separate from files generated via depot/create or downloaded via
depot/download. So one can remove the entire depot/ directory without
interfering with git.
Furthermore, depot keys can now be hosted in supplemental repositories
independent from Genode's main repository.
Fixes#4364
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
rules.
