* Use jitterentropy only if supported.
On certain targets like pbxa9 or zynq_qemu, the performance counter always
yields 0, which renders jitterentropy unusable. On these platforms, the
Tresor tests now use a static value as entropy source instead.
* Adds a new package test-file_vault_config_report_no_entropy that is used by
the Depot Autopilot on targets without jitterentropy support instead of
test-file_vault_config_report. The only difference between the two packages
is the value of the above described new config attribute of the File Vault.
* Circumvent alignment fault.
The Tresor lib for now has the deficiency of using on-disc data structures
directly in code instead of decoding them first to unpacked, naturally
aligned structures. This causes problems with memory-access alignment on
several platforms (rpi, imx6q_sabrelite, imx53_qsb, imx7d_sabre). As fixing
this properly is a bit of work, the commit disables the tresor_tester and
file_vault_config_report test on the affected platforms in autopilot mode for
now.
* Further adjustments
* Make benchmarks optional
* Use a smaller tresor for rekeying
* Clean up image parameters
* No use implicit routes/resources
* Reduce ram consumption
* Reduce test timeout
* Raise cap quota, required for sel4 x86_64.
Ref #4819
* relaxes the timing and reduces the test steps because pistachio is quite
slow and would otherwise trigger problems with our easy approach of using a
dynamic rom instead of a proper manager
* provide IO_PORT and IRQ session to timer driver

The main user of libsparkcrypto in the past was the CBE block encryption
ecosystem. However, the CBE was replaced with the Tresor block encryption that
uses libcrypto instead.
Ref #4819
The bulk of the driver code now lives in the 'dde_linux' repository,
which is available on all platforms, from where it can be referenced by
other repositories.
The 'wifi_drv' binary was delegated to a generic harness that includes
all configuration and management functionality shared by all wireless
device driver components, e.g., the wpa_supplicant. The code of the
device driver emulation environment is located in 'src/lib/wifi'. It
is referenced by the platform-specific driver library that resides in
the corresponding platform repository. The runtime configuration needs
to point the driver to proper driver library.
The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the contrib
source utilized by the driver as well as providing the 'source.list'
and 'dep.list' files. It must include the generic library snippet
'repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc' that deals with managing the emulation
environment code.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to deploy the driver.
Issue #4861.
* ARM support and detaching from Ada/SPARK
* Remove all CBE-related code - especially the Ada/SPARK-based CBE library.
* We have no means or motivation of further maintaining big projects in
Ada/SPARK (the core Genode team is native to C++).
* The Genode Ada/SPARK toolchain and runtime don't support ARM so far - an
important architecture for Genode. This would mean extra commitment in
Ada/SPARK.
* We realize that block encryption more and more becomes a fundamental
feature of Genode systems.
* Implement a new block encryption library named Tresor that is inspired by
the design and feature set of the former CBE library and that is entirely
C++ and part of the Genode gems repository.
* The Tresor block encryption is backwards-compatible with the on-disk
data layout of the former CBE block encryption.
* Except from the snapshot management and the "dump" tool, the Tresor
block encryption provides the same feature set as the former CBE block
encryption and accepts the same user requests at the level of the
Tresor library API.
* So far, the Tresor block encryption does not support the creation of
user-defined snapshots.
* In contrast to the former CBE, the Tresor ecosystem has
no "dump" tool beause with the CBE library it turned out to be rarely of
use.
* In contrast to the Block back-end of the CBE "init" tool, the Tresor
"init" tool uses a File System back-end.
* The former CBE VFS-plugin is replaced with a new Tresor VFS-Plugin.
* The Tresor-VFS plugin in general is similar to the former CBE VFS but
has a slightly different API when it comes to re-keying and re-sizing.
Each of these operations now is controlled via two files. The first
file is named <operation> and the user writes the start command to it.
The user must then read this file once in order to drive the operation.
The read returns the result of the operation, once it is finished.
The second file is named <operation>_progress and can be watched and
read for obtaining the progress of the operation as percentage.
* The file vault is adapted to use the new Tresor ecosystem
instead of the former CBE ecosystem and thereby also gains ARM support.
* The former CBE tester and CBE VFS-tests are replaced by equivalent
Tresor variants and are now run on ARM as well (testing with a persistent
storage back-end is supported only when running on Linux).
* So far, the new Tresor block encryption has no internal cache for meta
data blocks like the former CBE.
* Add config/report user interface
* Add a second option for the administration front end to the file vault
named "config and report". With this front end the File Vault communicates
with the user via XML strings. A ROM session is requested for user input
and a Report session for user output. The front end type must be set at
startup via the component config and is a static setting. The graphical
front end that was used up to now is named "menu view" and remains the
default.
* The File Vault can now reflect its internal state and user input ("config
and report" mode only) at the LOG session via two new static config
attributes "verbose_state" and "verbose_ui_config" (both defaulting to
"no").
* The Shutdown button in "menu view" mode is replaced with a Lock button. The
new button doesn't terminate the File Vault but merely lock the encrypted
container and return to a cleared passphrase input. The same transition is
also provided in "config and report" mode.
* The file_vault.run script is replaced with file_vault_menu_view.run and
file_vault_cfg_report.run that address the two front end modes. In contrast
to the former script, which is interactive, the latter script is suitable
for automatic testing.
* There is a new recipe/pkg/test-file_vault_cfg_report that essentially does
the same as file_vault_cfg_report.run but uses the File Vault package and
can be executed with the Depot Autopilot. The new test package is added to
the default test list of depot_autopilot.run
* The File Vault README is updated to the new version of the component and
has gained a chapter "functional description".
* Fixes a regression with the cbe_init_trust_anchor component that prevented
reacting to a failed unlock attempt in the File Vault.
* The new Tresor software Trust Anchor has an optional deterministic mode in
which it replaces the normally randomized symmetric keys with 0. This mode
comes in handy for debugging. However, it should never be activated in
productive systems. When activated, the user is warned extensively on the
LOG that this system mode is insecure.

This split allows us to cross-compile all arm_v8a packages needed for
'goa build' by creating pkg/arm_v8a/goa.
The components featured on pkg/goa-linux are solely needed for 'goa
run'. As they contain a number of lx/hybrid components, pkg/goa-linux
must be complied on Linux running on the target architecture.
Unfortunately, the change of "depot: remove empty config from
pkg/nano3d" broke the manual deployment of the nano3d demo because no
<config> is provided in this case.
This patch splits pkg/nano3d into two variants. The regular nano3d pkg
comes with an empty <config/> node as before. The unconfigured_nano3d
pkg does not feature any <config/> node and can thereby be configured
via a ROM route to a dynamic-rom service.
The screenshot trigger displays a little red dot at the upper-left
corner of the screen. When touched or clicked-on, it generates an
artificial key-press-release sequence for the print key and disappears
for one second. In this time, a separate screenshot component can handle
the print key by capturing the screen without the red dot appearing in
the saved picture.
The touch-keyboard config accepts the new attributes 'opaque="yes"
and 'background=#112233' to control the dialog background. The
attributes are passed unmodified to embedded the menu view.
Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
This change increases the quota to allow the use of bigger fonts, and
tweaks the style such that the keyboard gets a decent appearance on the
PinePhone's 1440x720 display.
2560x1440 resolutions require more RAM resources. Additionally, make
sure that the decorator 'init' receives enough CAPs to service the
decorator configuration.
fixes#4485
This patch adds the trace-logger utility to the default set of packages
along with an optional launcher. With this change, only two steps are
needed to use Genode's tracing mechanism with Sculpt:
- Add 'trace_logger' to the 'launcher:' list of the .sculpt file
- Either manually select the 'trace_logger' from the '+' menu,
or add the following entry to the deploy configuration:
<start name="trace_logger"/>
By default, the trace logger is configured to trace all threads
executed in the runtime subsystem and to print a report every 10
seconds. This default policy can be refined in the launcher's <config>
node. Note that the trace logger does not respond to configuration
changes during runtime. Changes come into effect not before restarting
the component.

Fixgenodelabs/genode#4416
To make room for the re-newed usb_host_drv basing on Linux 5.14 and

This patch equips Sculpt with the ability to customize the system image
in very flexible ways.
All customizable aspects of the image have been relocated from the
former sculpt.run script and the accompanied gems/run/sculpt/ directory
to a new location - the sculpt/ directory - which can exist in any
repository. The directory at repos/gems/sculpt/ serves as reference.
The sculpt directory can host any number of <name>-<board>.sculpt files,
each containing a list of ingredients to be incorporated into the
Sculpt system image. The <name> can be specified to the sculpt.run
script. E.g., the following command refers to the 'default-pc.sculpt'
file:
make run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc SCULPT=default
If no 'SCULPT' argument is supplied, the value 'default' is used.
A .sculpt file refers to a selection of files found at various
subdirectries named after their respective purpose. In particular, There
exists a subdirectory for each file in Sculpt's config fs, like
nitpicker, drivers... The .sculpt file selects the alternative to use
by a simple tag-value notation.
drivers: pc
The supported tags are as follows.
*Optional* selection of /config files. If not specified, those files are
omitted, which prompts Sculpt to manage those configurations
automatically or via the Leitzentrale GUI:
fonts
nic_router
event_filter
wifi
runtime
gpu_drv
Selection of mandatory /config files. If not specified, the respective
'default' alternative will be used.
nitpicker
deploy
fb_drv
clipboard
drivers
numlock_remap
leitzentrale
usb
system
ram_fs
Furthermore, the .sculpt file supports the optional selection of
supplemental content such as a set of launchers.
launches: nano3d system_shell
Another type of content are the set of blessed pubkey/download files
used for installing and verifying software on target.
With the new version, it has become possible to supply a depot with the
the system image. The depot content is assembled according to the 'pkg'
attributes found in launcher files and the selected deploy config.
The resulting depot is incorporated into the system image as 'depot.tar'
archive. It can be supplied to the Sculpt system by mounting it into the
ram fs as done by the 'ram_fs/depot' configuration for the ram fs.
It is possible to add additional boot modules to the system image. There
are two options.
build: <list of targets>
This tag prompts the sculpt.run script to build the specified targets
directly using the Genode build system and add the created artifacts
into the system image as boot modules.
import: <list of depot src or pkg archives>
This tag instructs Sculpt to supply the specifid depot-archive content
as boot modules to the system image. This change eliminates the need for
board-specific pkg/sculpt-<board> archives. The board-specific
specializations can now be placed directly into the respective .sculpt
files by using 'import:'.
To make the use of Sculpt as testbed during development more convenient,
the log output of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime subsystems
can be redirected to core using the optional 'LOG=core' argument, e.g.,
make run/sculpt KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux LOG=core
The former pkg/sculpt-installation and pkg/sculpt-installation-pc
archives have been replaced by pkg/sculpt_distribution-pc, which
references the generic pkg/sculpt_distribution archive. Those pkgs are
solely used for publishing / distribution purposes.
Fixes#4369
- Consider 'sdl' as source of input events in the event-filter
configuration as generated by the sculpt manager
- Supply an artificial 'platform_info' ROM as requested by the
sculpt manager to obtain the affinity-space information
- Substitute 'fs_rom' for 'cached_fs_rom' as a workaround for the
lack of support for managed dataspaces on Linux

- Add vbox6, keeping vbox5-nova-sculpt as fallback
- Remove recall_fs launcher, which is obsolete with the recall_fs pkg
- Replace system_clock by system_clock-pc pkg
Issue #4281
This patch changes the depot_query tool to filter the returned index
data depending on the 'arch' as specified for the query. This way, one
index file can support multiple CPU architectures while allowing
individual entries to be architecture-specific.

Warning!
The current version of the file vault is not thought for productive use but
for mere demonstrational purpose! Please refrain from storing sensitive data
with it!
The File Vault component implements a graphical frontend for setting up and
controlling encrypted virtual file systems using the Consistent Block Encrypter
(CBE) for encryption and snapshot management. For more details see
'repos/gems/src/app/file_vault/README'.
