This patch replaces the internal use 'env_deprecated()' from the
implementation of the thread API in the base library. It also
replaces the global accessor 'main_thread_cap' by the explicit
propagation of the main-thread's capability to the single point of
use via a new 'init_thread_bootstap' function.

This back end can be used in place of the existing jitterentropy based

Issue genodelabs/genode-allwinner#21.
The implementation was already part of the Zynq's sd_card driver and
since other ARM drivers need it as well, promote it to the common
shadow library.

* Removes all previous structs that represented an on-disc block layout
and were therfore subject to a number of layout restrictions (packed,
padding members, enum representations, etc.).
* Adds a replacement struct without any layout restrictions for each of the
removed structs. The new structs are named similar to the old structs.
* Adds block encoding and decoding utilities for easily converting from the
new structs to on-disc blocks and vice-versa (Block_scanner, Block_generator,
T::decode_to_blk, T::encode_from_blk)
* Adapts all affected places in the library to encode and decode proberly
instead of simply casting pointers.
* Thereby cleans up the hashing utilities to use typed-reference args instead
of void pointers.
* Re-enables run/tresor_tester and test-file_vault_vonfig_report for platforms
rpi, imx53_qsb, imx53_qsb_tz, imx6q_sabrelite, imx7d_sabre.

In some instances, the fetchurl progress determined by

On some platforms (x86_32/pistachio, x86_64/sel4) system startup is slow

This test was originally a copy of ping.run and therefore unnecessarily
inherited all its complexity for testing ping component behavior. Additionally,
ping.run was more actively maintained and evolved over time whereas
nic_dump.run didn't receive the same care. Now, the test fails on certain
platforms although NIC dump works just fine. Therefore, this commit reduces the
test behavior to what is really necessary for testing nic_dump and by doing so,
also fixes the failing targets.
Fixes#4926
On x86_32 okl4, the test timed out although the test timeout was already at
240 seconds for this platform. Instaed of raising it further, this commit
reduces the number of ping rounds for all platforms that are considered as
slower by the test.
Ref #4923
This patch restricts 'Region_map::attach_executable' to create read-only
mappings, while offering the option to map the full rights using a new
'attach_rwx' method.
The 'attach_rwx' method is now used by the dynamic linker to explicitly
attach the linker area with full rwx rights. With the old page-fault
handling code, the execute flag was evaluated only for leaf dataspaces,
not for managed dataspaces while traversing region-map hierarchies.
With the new page-fault handling code, the execute bit is downgraded
to no-execute when passing a managed dataspace that is not attached
as executable.
Issue #4920
The change "core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces" addressed a
corner case of the use of nested region maps. Apparently, this change
negatively affects other scenarios (tool_chain_auto).
In order to confidently cover all the differnt situations, this patch
reworks the page-fault resolution code for improved clarity and safety,
by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic types,
choosing expressive names, and fostering constness.
It also introduces a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual
instrumentation and streamlines the error messages printed by core.
Those messages no longer appear when a user-level page-fault handler
is reistered for the faulted-at region map. So the monitor component
produces less noise on the attempt to dump non-existing memory.
Issue #4917Fixes#4920
The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor
of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the
subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s).
In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring
of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be
used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor,
the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session.
But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code,
sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.
There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The
os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run
script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored
components.
Issue #4917
Let the sandbox library disregard all unknown config sub nodes so that
supplemental information - like the monitor policy configuration - is
not interpreted as a misconfiguration ("unknown config element type ...").

This patch moves the destruction of the child's PD session after the
closing of all other sessions because the PD session's role as resource
container might still be needed for orderly reverting the session quotas
when closing the other remaining sessions.
Issue #4917
By default, the sandbox uses the Env::pd() as reference PD session of
the sandbox children.
However, to accomodate use cases where the interplay of the reference
PD session and the child's address space needs to be intercepted, this
patch adds a constructor that takes an interface for the controlled
access of PD intrinsics as argument.
Issue #4917
This patch replaces the former 'address_space' accessor by a new
'with_address_space' interface that grants access to the region map of
the child's address space, but limits the interface lifetime to the
scope of the caller.
Issue #4917
This patch adds the missing application of the region offset to the
resolution of page faults inside managed dataspaces, which resulted in
an unexpected "invalid mapping" message after attaching a managed
dataspace with an offset.
This limitation could be observed during the implementation of the debug
monitor that locally maps a portion of the debugging target's address
space, e.g., a view port of 16 MiB. All traditional uses of managed
dataspaces (e.g., stack area, linker area) happened to attach the
managed dataspaces from their beginning.

* 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.

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.
The attachment removal is triggered actually on _ds member destruction time,
but after the io_mem representation for the specific base-<platform> possibly
vanished already during _unmap_local in the ~Io_mem_dataspace. This creates
on base-sel4 several kernel warnings about invalid capabilities.

Using $(shell find $(REP_DIR)/patches -name *.patch) fails if the

It turns out solely relying on the name of the compilation-unit
is not enough. In at least one multi-device driver, e.g. rtlwifi,
an equally called compilation-unit is found in several different
directories. There KBUILD_MODNAME is used to name the driver,
which fails later on as the driver framework refuses to register
an equally named driver twice.
Instead of only considering the name of the compilation-unit also
include the last element of the path to generate differentiating
KBUILD_MODNAME value.

This commit changes the firmware handling from requesting each
firmware file as a ROM module that is checked against a list of
known images (including their size) to requesting each file via

detailed information on how to configure the driver.

This function is called when decrypting RX frames on the CPU on 32 bit
platforms. Since the frames are normally decrypted by the wireless LAN

Issue #4861.
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.

* 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.

Changes to the platform driver triggered a map() error while mapping an

By transforming the Device_pd into an Io_mmu::Domain, we implement an
IOMMU device that uses the kernel API for controlling the IOMMU. This
device gets special treatment and is used by default for every device
that has no <io_mmu/> child.
genodelabs/genode#4761
Every session component manages a registry of Io_mmu::Domain objects
that it creates on demand depending on the acquired devices (i.e. the
IOMMU devices referenced by the acquired devices). Via the domain
objects, a session component adds/removes the address ranges of the
allocated DMA buffers. Additionally, domain objects provide an interface
for enabling/disabling pci devices.
Domain objects get destroyed with the corresponding control device.
Moreover, on devices/policy ROM updates, domain objects of control
devices that are not referenced by any acquired device anymore get destroyed.
genodelabs/genode#4761
This allows referencing an arbitrary number of IOMMU devices within a
<devices> node, e.g.:
<device>
<io_mmu name="foobar"/>
</device>
The specified name is supposed to refer to an existing device in the
devices ROM. The platform driver automatically acquires known IOMMU
devices whenever they become available so that the device object can be
looked up from the platform-driver-owned devices.
genodelabs/genode#4761
With this change, platform-specific code is able to define factories that
acquire IOMMU devices to be used by the platform driver.

In 'SUPR3InitEx' (SUPLib.cpp) a 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' structure is allocated
with

! RT_UOFFSETOF_DYN(SUPQUERYFUNCS, u.Out.aFunctions[(cFuncs)])

! auto &out = request.u.Out;
where auto is 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' and finally
! out = { };
will zero out 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' up to the second arrow above. Because
'RTMemAllocZ' will call 'calloc' to allocate the memory 'out = { };'
will corrupt the slab block after the allocation. Therefore, it is
reasonable to allocate at least 'sizeof(SUPQUERYFUNCS)'.
Note there might be other 'ioctl' cases like this. A better way might be
to use 'SUPQUERYFUNCS.Hdr.cbOut' to determine the 'out' size.

This patch solves the false-negative error message "failed to open file"
referring to an ioctl info file during an ioctl call. The message is
now avoided by checking for the existence of the file before reading it.
However, the observed symptom uncovered an actual bug that was
introduced in commit "libc vfs: open OSS 'info' file only once" with
the attempt to cache the content of ioctl info files. When called
multiple time for different paths, 'Vfs_plugin::_with_info' would
wrongly return the info from the first call as cached in a local
static variable.
The patch fixes the problem by a new added 'Cached_ioctl_info'
implementation in the scope of the 'Vfs_plugin'.

We repeatedly experience issues with XHCI handoff in the USB host driver
at runtime on modern systems. Mostly, these issues manifest as
initialization delays with very high CPU load. Investigations show that
during this time the handoff MMIO write does not return, which hints the
firmware driver enters some spinning loop. I suspect the enabled IOMMU
does not play well with the firmware due to insufficient RMRR
information.
Therefore, we disable USB handoff in Sculpt via the driver manager (as
we do for dedicated devices already in other contexts). Note, UHCI and
EHCI handoff is still done in the platform driver and succeeds on all
our test hardware.

Fixes a regression with the cbe_init_trust_anchor component that prevented
reacting to a failed unlock attempt in the File Vault. The regression was
caused by new semantics in the vfs that did not allow for using the file
operation result as indicator for whether the unlock attempt failed or
succeeded. The correct and hereby applied approach is to check for the data
read from the file after having written the unlock command. The data reads
either "ok" or "failed".
Before scheduling we check if the execlist is empty. When many clients
are present, the bits might not be cleared by hardware yet. Before the
watchdog timer would trigger, because we scheduled nothing. Now we try
serval times, even if this fails, we still schedule because in the worst
case only a preemption would happen.
