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.

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.
