This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
* Adds public timeout syscalls to kernel API
* Kernel::timeout installs a timeout and binds a signal context to it that
shall trigger once the timeout expired
* With Kernel::timeout_max_us, one can get the maximum installable timeout
* Kernel::timeout_age_us returns the time that has passed since the
calling threads last timeout installation
* Removes all device specific back-ends for the base-hw timer driver and
implements a generic back-end taht uses the kernel timeout API
* Adds assertions about the kernel timer frequency that originate from the
requirements of the the kernel timeout API and adjusts all timers
accordingly by using the their internal dividers
* Introduces the Kernel::Clock class. As member of each Kernel::Cpu object
it combines the management of the timer of the CPU with a timeout scheduler.
Not only the timeout API uses the timeout scheduler but also the CPUs job
scheduler for installing scheduling timeouts.
* Introduces the Kernel::time_t type for timer tic values and values inherited
from timer tics (like microseconds).

- add a new function 'binary_ready_hook_for_gdb()' in ldso. GDB can set a
breakpoint at this function to know when ldso has loaded the binary
into memory.
- get the thread state from the NOVA kernel immediately on 'pause()'
Fixes#1968
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.
A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.
To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.
Fixes#1939
This patch supplements each existing connection type with an new
constructor that is meant to replace the original one. The new
one takes a reference to the component's environment as argument and
thereby does not rely on the presence of the globally accessible
'env()' interface.
The original constructors are marked as deprecated. Once we have
completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.
Fixes#1960
It turns out that the name function does not have much use in practice
except for naming the thread of the component's initial entrypoint. For
dynamically linked components, this thread is created by the dynamic
linker. It is named "ep" in these cases. Considering that we will
eventually turn all regular components into dynamically linked
executables, the additional information provided by the
Component::name() function remains unused. So it is better to not bother
the component developers with adding boilerplate code.
Now rlibs are actually linked to programs. Target files have been
modified to not generate code that requires compiler-rt. Added a target
for libstd-rust, but it's very broken right now. Moved alloc_system to
the libports folder because either a memory allocator needs to be
written in rust or posix_memalign needs to be implemented. Changed
liblibc to use freebsd as the OS instead of netbsd. Added a library with
unwind dummy functions.
Rust relies on atomic builtins, which are not implemented in libgcc for
ARM. One was implemented in rust, which was sufficient to get the
current rust test to run. Rust libs were added into the group of libs
for the linker so order no longer matters. The raspberry pi now uses an
armv6 target.
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch moves the base library from src/base to src/lib/base,
flattens the library-internal directory structure, and moves the common
parts of the library-description files to base/lib/mk/base.inc and
base/lib/mk/base-common.inc.
Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and
comments only) that I encountered while browsing the result.
Fixes#1952
Most slab allocators in core use a sliced heap as backing store. Since
sliced-heap allocations are performed at page-granularity, it is
sensible to dimension the slab blocks to fill whole pages.
This patch cleans up the implementation of the sliced heap, adds a
constructor that takes references instead of pointers, and adds the
function 'meta_data_size' to determine the meta-data overhead per block.
The latter can be used to dimension slab allocators such that slab
blocks use whole pages.
The original 'Env' interface as returned by 'Genode::env()' has been
renamed to 'Env_deprecated' and moved to deprecated/env.h. The new version
of base/env.h contains the interface passed to modern components that
use the component API via base/component.h.
Issue #1832
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.
Note the API change:
This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.
Issue #1938
Since the dynamic linker depends on the XML utils and we plan to replace
the ancient 'Arg_string' with XML, it is time to move the 'Xml_node' and
'Xml_generator' to base/include.
We will eventually remove the delivery of the number of occurred signals
to the recipient. There haven't been any convincing use cases for this
feature. In the contrary, it actually led to wrong design choices in the
past where the rate of signals carried information (such as the progress
of time) that should better be obtained via an explicit RPC call.
The old 'Signal_rpc_member' template retains the old interface for now.
But the new 'Signal_handler' omits the 'unsigned' argument from the
handler function.
GNU ar only uses a flat module (object) name space but supports multiple
instances of objects with the same name. As we use subdirectories with
source file names that may clash (e.g., signal/common.cc and
server/common.cc in the base library) some of our static library
archives have multiple object instances. This is not an issue on archive
creation but works not as expected when updating archives. To avoid
updates of library archives we delete the files before calling GNU ar.
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
The return code of assign_parent remained unused. So this patch
removes it.
The bind_thread function fails only due to platform-specific limitations
such as the exhaustion of ID name spaces, which cannot be sensibly
handled by the PD-session client. If occurred, such conditions used to
be reflected by integer return codes that were used for diagnostic
messages only. The patch removes the return codes and leaves the
diagnostic output to core.
Fixes#1842
We don't want Genode environment objects that register their destructor
for program exit as it is mostly unnecessary and easily produces
dangling pointers. Thus, use unmanaged_singleton instead of the static
keyword.
Fixes#1941
When using the Allocator interface, one can't tell which alignment
resulting allocations fulfill. However, at least on ARM, given the
architectural alignment requirements of ARM memory accesses, one wants
memory allocations (what allocators are for in most cases) to be word
aligned automatically. Previously, at least the AVL allocator simply
called alloc_aligned without defining align in its alloc implementation.
This led to unaligned access faults (the default was 0) when using the
AVL allocator as Allocator (as done in the metadata management of a SLAB
of an AVL that uses the AVL as backing store). To avoid such pitfalls
in the future, we force users of alloc_aligned to always specify align
(why use alloc_aligned without align anyway).
Ref #1941
This is a generalisation approach of the hw_zynq target. As the boards
typically use UART1 instead of UART0 (used by qemu), we have to
distinguish between those. Moreover, in general hw_zynq does not imply
zynq_qemu anymore, so that the support of particular boards can be
placed in third-party or community repositories (e.g. Genode world).
Fixes#1926
Besides unifying the Msgbuf_base classes across all platforms, this
patch merges the Ipc_marshaller functionality into Msgbuf_base, which
leads to several further simplifications. For example, this patch
eventually moves the Native_connection_state and removes all state
from the former Ipc_server to the actual server loop, which not only
makes the flow of control and information much more obvious, but is
also more flexible. I.e., on NOVA, we don't even have the notion of
reply-and-wait. Now, we are no longer forced to pretend otherwise.
Issue #1832
This patch unifies the CPU session interface across all platforms. The
former differences are moved to respective "native-CPU" interfaces.
NOVA is not covered by the patch and still relies on a custom version of
the core-internal 'cpu_session_component.h'. However, this will soon be
removed once the ongoing rework of pause/single-step on NOVA is
completed.
Fixes#1922
This patch changes the organization of the slab blocks within the slab
allocator. Originally, blocks were kept in a list sorted by the number
of free entries. However, it turned out that the maintenance of this
invariant involves a lot of overhead in the presence of a large number
of blocks. The new implementation manages blocks within a ring in no
particular order and maintains a pointer to the block where the next
allocation is attempted. This alleviates the need for sorting blocks
when allocating and deallocating.
Fixes#1908
This patch ensures that the 'Allocator_avl' releases all memory obtained
from the meta-data allocator at destruction time. If allocations are
still dangling, it produces a warning, hinting at possible memory leaks.
Finally, it properly reverts all 'add_range' operations.
This patch fixes a use-after-free problem raised by the recent ability of
the slab allocator to dynamically release empty slab blocks. The
Rm_session_component::detach function used to rely on the assumption
that the region metadata co-located with the allocator metadata of the
'_map' would stay intact even after a 'free' if the region.
This patch makes sure that the dataspace pool is flushed before
destructing the heap-local allocator-avl instance. With the original
destruction order, the allocator would still contain dangling
allocations on the account of the dataspace pool when destructed. In
practice, this caused no problem because the underlying backing store is
eventually freed on the destruction of the pool. But it triggers a
runtime warning of the allocator since it has become more strict with
regard to dangling allocations.
This commit introduces the new `Component` interface in the form of the
headers base/component.h and base/entrypoint.h. The os/server.h API
has become merely a compatibilty wrapper and will eventually be removed.
The same holds true for os/signal_rpc_dispatcher.h. The mechanism has
moved to base/signal.h and is now called 'Signal_handler'.
Since the patch shuffles headers around, please do a 'make clean' in the
build directory.
Issue #1832
This commit replaces the stateful 'Ipc_client' type with the plain
function 'ipc_call' that takes all the needed state as arguments.
The stateful 'Ipc_server' class is retained but it moved from the public
API to the internal ipc_server.h header. The kernel-specific
implementations were cleaned up and simplified. E.g., the 'wait'
function does no longer exist. The badge and exception code are no
longer carried in the message buffers but are handled in kernel-specific
ways.

This patch moves details about the stack allocation and organization
the base-internal headers. Thereby, I replaced the notion of "thread

we place thread-specific information at the bottom of the stack is not
worth introducing new terminology.

Issue #1832
This patch integrates the functionality of the former CAP session into
the PD session and unifies the approch of supplementing the generic PD
session with kernel-specific functionality. The latter is achieved by
the new 'Native_pd' interface. The kernel-specific interface can be
obtained via the Pd_session::native_pd accessor function. The
kernel-specific interfaces are named Nova_native_pd, Foc_native_pd, and
Linux_native_pd.
The latter change allowed for to deduplication of the
pd_session_component code among the various base platforms.
To retain API compatibility, we keep the 'Cap_session' and
'Cap_connection' around. But those classes have become mere wrappers
around the PD session interface.
Issue #1841
This patch removes the SIGNAL service from core and moves its
functionality to the PD session. Furthermore, it unifies the PD service
implementation and terminology across the various base platforms.

Previously, ports that were needed for a scenario and that were not
prepared or outdated, triggered one assertion each during the second
build stage. The commit slots a mechanism in ahead that gathers all
these ports during the first build stage and reports them in form of a
list before the second build stage is entered. This list can be used
directly as argument for tool/ports/prepare_port to prepare respectively
update the ports. If, however, this mechanism is not available, for
example because a target is build without the first build stage, the old
assertion still prevents the target from running into troubles with a
missing port.

Enable the ACPI functionality in the platform_drv on hw_x86_64_muen and
provide a simple generated XML report as ROM session in order to make
the PCI configuration space available.
This is a requirement to implement support for MSI on hw_x86_64_muen.
The wrapper functions (e.g., 'Unwind_*' and friends) now have the same signature
as the original function in 'libgcc', reside in a separate C file which is
archived to cxx.lib.a. In supc++.o we prefix the wrapped functions with '_cxx_'.
This also enables support for riscv.

This prevents a sporadic null-pointer dereference in the nic_loopback

This commit enables multi-processing for all Cortex A9 SoCs we currently
support. Moreover, it thereby enables the L2 cache for i.MX6 that was not
enabled until now. However, the QEMU variants hw_pbxa9 and hw_zynq still
only use 1 core, because the busy cpu synchronization used when initializing
multiple Cortex A9 cores leads to horrible boot times on QEMU.
During this work the CPU initialization in general was reworked. From now
on lots of hardware specifics were put into the 'spec' specific files, some
generic hook functions and abstractions thereby were eliminated. This
results to more lean implementations for instance on non-SMP platforms,
or in the x86 case where cache maintainance is a non-issue.
Due to the fact that memory/cache coherency and SMP are closely coupled
on ARM Cortex A9 this commit combines so different aspects.
Fix#1312Fix#1807
When unblocking a thread in Semaphore::up() while holding the fifo meta-data
lock, it might happen that the lock holder gets destroyed by the one it was
unblocking. This happened for instance in the pthread test in the past, where
thread destruction was synchronized via a semaphore. There is no need to hold
the lock during the unblock operation, so we should do it outside the critical
section.
Fix#1333
Previously we used a pretty slow external clock source for the timer. This
resulted in such a low TICS_PER_MS value that the granularity wasn't
sufficient to find a setup with a precision better than 1 second error per
minute. Now we use the so-called High Frequency Reference Clock as input
with TICS_PER_MS=33333 and the timer precision is significantly < 1 second per
minute.

* enable i915 driver from Linux 3.14.5
* tested for generation 5 till 8 GPUs
The driver can be configured at run-time via the config ROM. Every
connector of the graphic card can be configured separately using the
following syntax
<config>
<connector name="LVDS-11" width="1280" height="800" enabled="true"/>
</config>
Also, when enabled within the intel framebuffer driver configuration like
the following
<config buffered="yes"/>
a simple ram dataspace is propagated to the client and the driver
itselfs copies from that buffer to the framebuffer triggered via refresh
calls. This option is useful to alleviate tearing effects.
The driver distributes all available connectors of the graphic card and
their supported resolutions via a report. It looks like follows
<connectors>
<connector name="LVDS-11" connected="1">
<mode width="1280" height="800" hz="60"/>

'block_for_signal' and 'pending_signal' now set pending flag in signal context
in order to determine pending signal. The context list is also used by the
'Signal_receiver' during destruction.
Fixes#1738
Currently, when a signal arrives in the main thread, the signal dispatcher is
retrieved and called from the main thread, the dispatcher uses a proxy object
that in turn sends an RPC to the entry point. This becomes a problem when the
entry point destroys the dispatcher object, before the dispatch function has
been called by the main thread. Therefore, the main thread should simply send an
RPC to the entry point upon signal arrival and the dispatching should be handled
solely by the entry point.
Issue #1738
Holding the object pool's lock while trying to obtain an object's lock
can leave to dead-lock situations, when more than one thread tries to
access multiple objects at once (e.g.: when transfer_quota gets called
simultanously by the init and entrypoint thread in core). To circumvent
holding the object pool lock too long, but access object pointers safely
on the other hand, this commit updates the object pool implementation
to use weak pointers during the object retrieval.
Fix#1704
Destroying an object within the scope of a lambda/functor executed
in the object pool's apply function leads potentially to memory corruption.
Within the scope the corresponding object is locked and unlocked when
leaving the scope. Therefore, it is illegal to free the object's memory meanwhile.
This commit eliminates several places in core that destroyed wrongly in
the object pool's scope.

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was

For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint

This commit eliminates the mutual interlaced taking of destruction lock,
list lock and weak pointer locks that could lead to a dead-lock situation
when a lock pointer was tried to construct while a weak object is in
destruction progress.
Now, all weak pointers are invalidated and dequeued at the very
beginning of the weak object's destruction. Moreover, before a weak pointer
gets invalidated during destruction of a weak object, it gets dequeued, and
the list lock is freed again to avoid the former dead-lock.

Up to now it was not possible to trace threads that use a different

creating the thread.

final binary.
The recent change of the TRACE session interface triggered the
following warning:
/home/no/src/genode/repos/base/include/base/ipc.h:79:4: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
*reinterpret_cast<T *>(&_sndbuf[_write_offset]) = value;

/home/no/src/genode/repos/base/include/base/rpc_server.h:132:42: note: ‘ret’ was declared here
typename This_rpc_function::Ret_type ret;
The warning occurs for basic return types (like size_t), which are
indeed not initialized. The variable gets its value assigned by the
corresponding 'call_member' overload, to which the variable is passed as
reference. But the compiler apparently is not able to detect this assignment.
Declaring 'ret' with a C++11-style default initializer fixes the warning.
While importing trace sources as trace subjects into a TRACE session,
the session quota might become depleted. The TRACE session already keeps
track of the session quota via an allocator guard but the 'subjects' RPC
function missed to handle the out-of-memory condition. This patch
reflects the error condition as an 'Out_of_metadata' exception to the
TRACE client. It also contains an extension of the trace test to
exercise the corner case.
This patch enable clients of core's TRACE service to obtain the
execution times of trace subjects (i.e., threads). The execution time is
delivered as part of the 'Subject_info' structure.
Right now, the feature is available solely on NOVA. On all other base
platforms, the returned execution times are 0.
Issue #813
On ARM, the compiler generates calls to memcpy and memset. Most
dynamically linked programs use the libc, which provides these
functions. However, if a dynamically linked program does not use the
libc (e.g., noux/minimal or the new version of cli_monitor), those
symbols remain unresolved. By adding them to ldso's symbol.map, the
dynamic linker will resolve them with the functions of the cxx
library, which is part of the dynamic linker.

Currently, libc_noux includes the 'base/src/base/env/platform_env.h' file
to be able to reinitialize the environment using the 'Platform_env'
interface. For base-linux, a special version of this file exists and the
inclusion of the generic version in libc_noux causes GCC 4.9 to make wrong
assumptions about the memory layout of the 'Env' object returned by
'Genode::env()'.
This commit moves the reinitialization functions to the 'Env' interface to
avoid the need to include the 'platform_env.h' file in libc_noux.
Fixes#1510
On seL4, we need to convert untyped memory to page frames before being
able to use it as normal memory. There already exists the hook function
'_export_ds' that is principally suitable for such tasks. It is
currently solely used on Linux where we have to create a file for each
dataspace. To make the hook useful also for seL4, we need to call
_export_ds prior _clear_ds. Otherwise, we would try to clear memory that
is still untyped.
This patch avoids the attempt to extend the cxx-local heap during the
startup phase of an application. Originally, the static part of the cxx
was merely 100 bytes, which did not suffice to run the minimalistic test
roottask on seL4.
If a null-terminated string exactly of length MAX (0 byte included) is
provided, it will be handled as invalid because of wrong string size length
checks.
Commit fixes this.
Discovered during #1486 development.
The thread library (thread.cc) in base-foc shared 95% of the code with
the generic implementation except myself(). Therefore, its
implementation is now separated from the other generic sources into
myself.cc, which allows base-foc to use a foc-specific primitive to
enable our base libraries in L4Linux.
Issue #1491
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
* Instead of using local capabilities within core's context area implementation
for stack allocation/attachment, simply do both operations while stack gets
attached, thereby getting rid of the local capabilities in generic code
* In base-hw the UTCB of core's main thread gets mapped directly instead of
constructing a dataspace component out of it and hand over its local
capability
* Remove local capability implementation from all platforms except Linux
Ref #1443
The global capability ID counter is not used by NOVA and Fiasco.OC
and in the future not needed by base-hw too. Thereby, remove the static
counter variable from the generic code base and add it where appropriated.
Ref #1443
Enable platform specific allocations and ram quota accounting for
protection domains. Needed to allocate object identity references
in the base-hw kernel when delegating capabilities via IPC.
Moreover, it can be used to account translation table entries in the
future.
