Both the Wifi driver and the WireGuard port used local implementations for
their source of randomness. Wifi used a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG for rapid generation
of random values but initialized this PRNG always with the same static seed
value. WireGuard, in contrast, requested each random byte directly from the
jitterentropy lib, which is considered to be very time intensive.
This commit removes the local variants of random.cc and introduces a new
centralized lx_emul/random.cc . The new variant combines the former approaches,
so, that jitterentropy is accessed only in order to generate a random seed for
a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG. Front-end requests for random values are then fulfilled
efficiently via the PRNG.
:Warning:
The output of the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG that is used in the new implementation of
the lx_emul randomness functions has known statistical problems (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoroshiro128%2B#Statistical_Quality).
Furthermore, the integration of Xoroshir128+ with the lx_emul code was not
reviewed/audited for its security-related properties, so far, and has the
known deficiency of seeding the PRNG only once during initialization. Thus,
we strongly advise against the use of the lx_emul randomness functions for
security-critical purposes.

This patch simplifies the use of the menu_view in scenarios where no
absolute motion events but only touch events occur. Previously, such
scenarios required the creation of artificial absolute motion events
via the event filter.
Issue #4514
The hover state is evaluated for the routing of input events. When
routing a touch event, the decision should be based on the most recently
observed touch position. Without this patch, however, the hover state kept
referring to the initial pointer position (screen center) in the absence
of any other motion events.
Issue #4514
A userland component that ports the Linux WireGuard kernel module (originally
from kernel version 5.14.21) and integrates it via a NIC session (public
network side) and an Uplink session (private network side). The
WireGuard-specific device configuration is done through the component
configuration. The port is done using lx_emul, lx_kit and the virt_linux
targets. The commit adds also 4 corresponding run scripts of which 3 are fully
automated of which 1 is added to the autopilot.
:Warning:
Although in principal functioning, the WireGuard port has not been exposed to a
sufficient amount of real-world testing, so far. Therefore, we strongly
recommend not to use it in any security-critical scenarios! There is no
guarantee that the port meets any of the security goals pursued by the
WireGuard protocol or other WireGuard implementations!

The implementation was copied from the already existing LX-emul implementation
for x86 but the commit additionally page-aligns the array that serves as
backing store for the zero page as we assume this to be expected by the contrib
code. However, this commit doesn't apply the alignment also to the x86
implementation as we agreed, that this should be done in a separate commit.
Ref #4397
* Adds methods for copying raw data to the data field of Ethernet frames and
UDP packets. This is used in the port to wrap the higher-layer packet data
prepared by the contrib code with the additionally required headers before
sending it at a network session.
* Adds a method to cast raw data to an IPv4 packet. This is required in the
port in order to check values in stand-alone IP packets produced by the
contrib code before sending them at a network session.
* Adds methods for setting UDP ports given big endian port values without
having to convert to little endian in the app and then back to big endian in
the net lib.

to work again. The drivers interactive package does not provide a Platform
service anymore, so remove the audio driver. A lot more mesa related libraries
are required now.
This commit de-duplicates the redundant dummy implementations and
to some degree also the 'lx_emul.c' implementations while also
decluttering the various 'dep.list' files.
The code is moved into 'src/lib/pc/lx_emul' where it becomes part
of the 'pc_lx_emul' library.
Fixes#4500.
Instead of each driver providing its own header file use a central
header as the initcall order header should cover _all_ provided
initcalls resulting from the used 'pc_linux' kernel config.
Note that the 'pc_linux' configuration was extended with the
'USB_USBNET' option because the module's initcall is needed for the
Genode C API for USB glue-code and the 'PACKET' option needed by
the wireless lan driver.
The lack of theses options was not noticed as each driver used its
own initcall header so far that stemmed from the initial porting
effort.

Instead of returning an invalid device capability when a device
is (not yet) available, e.g. a PCI device is requested before the
PCI bus got parsed accordingly, we check the device capability
within the Platform::Connection utilities, and register temporarily
an Io_signal_handler to wait for changes of the devices ROM, and
try the device aquisition again. Thereby, simple drivers so not have
to take the burden to do so.
To enable this feature for all drivers, we always have to export a
devices ROM, but limit the information about physical resources
(I/O memory addresses, IRQ numbers, I/O port ranges) to clients with
'info=yes' in their policy description.

By adding a 'report' node to the platform driver's configuration
one can enable either devices or config reports. The devices
report contains all devices and their detailed state, as well as
whether it is already in use or not. The config report contains
one by one the current configuration of the platform driver.
Moreover, this commit adds a README file describing the facilities
of the platform driver.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4386
If PCI devices happen to miss complete configuration after boot, the
platform driver supports <pci-fixup> nodes for concrete devices
(specified by bus-device-functions tuples). The
<bar> node instructs the platform driver to remap BAR id 0 to address
0x4017002000, which amends the BIOS configuration and is stringently
required for BARs with address 0.
! <pci-fixup bus="0" device="0x15" function="3">
! <bar id="0" address="0x4017002000"/>

This patch changes the libc to query the stack size from the
config attribute <libc> <stack size=""/> </libc> for regular
components, not only cloned processes.
To discharge the generic platform driver from certain PCI bus scanning,
and ACPI + kernel specifics, this commit introduces a new component,
which consumes the acpi drivers report and the platform_info from core
to prepare a devices ROM for the platform driver that contains all
PCI devices and its resources.

USB Attached SCSI devices might expose a bulk-only interface
as fall-back at interface 0 and alternate setting 0. This commit
allows for probing all alternate settings of the active interface
to be able to use such devices.
The configuration was extended so that in case the device interface
is known beforehand the driver can be configured accordingly.

The vanilla NOVA kernel solely supports tracking and exporting of execution
times per SC kernel object, but not per thread (EC object). The commit extends
to track execution times per EC in the NOVA kernel, exporting it to Genode's
'core' roottask and populating Genode's Trace::Subject_info structure.
Fixes#4481
Remove handling of ACPI (SCI) interrupt from kernel and thereby let the
handling of the ACPI irq exclusively to an Genode driver. On Genode the ACPICA
library+app handles the ACPI irq, where we can now remove the contrib patches
related to the synchronization between NOVA kernel and ACPICA library.
Fixes#4479
When using the framebuffer driver on this machine the
'cpu_latency_qos_request_active' dummy is triggered. Removing the
trace-and-stop call makes the driver usable.
In addition, 'cpu_latency_qos_remove_request' is changed as well
although it is guarded by 'cpu_latency_qos_request_active'.
Fixes#4489.
This patch fixes rare freezes of menu view instances, which could happen boot
time whenever the leitzentale GUI happens to get initialized before the display
driver finished setting up a reasonable mode. In this case, the resolution-
dependent font size can temporarily get almost zero, tripping up the glyph
renderer.
Since the driver relies on all requests being Nvme::MPS_LOG2 aligned
as advertised in its Block::Info the added check will reject any
misaligned requests (using 'gpt_write' led to an IOMMU write fault).

In rare cases it is necessary to execute Linux contributed code

In case multiple devices shared the same memory-mapped I/O page
we have to take the offset into account. This commit fixes the

With the new usb driver #4399 and usage of the updated dde_linux lx_eml/lx_kit
approach a much higher rate of IRQ session construction/destruction and signal
handler assignment (irq->sigh) are caused. This trickles down to the kernel,
which causes an hang of the AMD IOMMUs due to not setting reserved bits
adequately. The commit fixes the root cause in the kernel and add a guard
into core's to limit such driver behaviour.

The file listed only enabled="false" in the audio adapter tag. However,
setting only this option to true isn't sufficient for guest audio to work.
One has to set also enabledIn respectively enabledOut in the same tag. The

This patch fixes a potential data corruption issue that could occur when
issuing large I/O requests to vfs/rump, which don't fit into the default
block I/O buffer of 128 KiB. Note that we haven't observed the problem
in practice (Sculpt hosts vfs/rump in a dedicated vfs server, which
fragments requests) but spotted the issue while reviewing the code. We
could trigger problem by explicitly changing the I/O buffer size to 32
KiB.
Issue #4474
This patch changes the meaning of the 'offset' parameter of the
'produce_write_content' and 'consume_read_result' hook functions.
The value used to reflect the absolute byte position but in practice,
a job-relative byte offset is desired.
Issue #4474
Before this commit, the block-request handler was implemented as
Io_signal_handler and, additionally, the USB driver called the
block-request handler on request completion directly on I/O level. This
is generally a bad idea because I/O handlers should avoid to have direct
global side effects. In contrast, application logic should be
implemented in way that it consumes atomic state changes after I/O
completed. Now USB I/O completion locally submits a signal to the
block-request Signal_handler.
This patch reduces the response time of supposedly stuck situations like
an unresponsive part_block component. First, it reduces the heartbeat
rate from 1 to 2 seconds to make it consistent with the frequency of
state reports. Second, it allows up to four skipped heartbeats until
regarding the situation as stuck. With those changes, the prolonged
initialization sequence of a USB ZIP drive succeeds with Sculpt.
The Uplink_test used to end in an uncaucht exception about a failed packet
allocation on several x86_32 platforms.
* Destruct and re-construct the corresponding TX packet allocator during a
link-down-up step in the Uplink test. Fixes the exceptions but results in a
never ending test.
* Decouple the link-down-up steps from the handling of packet stream signals
by simply triggering it with a local periodic timeout of 1 sec period.
This prevents that the Uplink_test never finishes because it destructs the
Uplink connection too often.
* The test finishes not before at least 3 link-down-up steps were executed.
* Replace the Allocator_avl's used for the TX packet allocators of the Nic
and Uplink Connection with the better suited Nic::Packet_allocator.
