The scratch buffer is now allocated from the heap and is shared
between the test as they are executed in a serial fashion. This
change saves memory as the test are constructed at start-up.
Fixes#3539.
Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like vim to edit init
configurations dynamically, which alleviates the need for a custom CLI.
The CLI-monitor component was too limited for use cases like Sculpt
anyway.
The patch also removes the ancient (and untested for long time)
terminal_mux.run script, which used to be the only remaining user of the
CLI monitor.
Issue #3512
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
When enabling the 'keep_going' config attribute, the component will
carry on in case a child exited with an error. In addition, if the
'restart' attribute is set it will start executing the children from
the beginning.
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
- Added 'io_buffer' attribute, default is 4M
- Added 'batch' attribute, specifying the number of jobs used
in parallel, default is 1 (sequential)
- Removed 'synchronous' attribute (use batch of 1 instead)
- Added 'copy' attribute (default "yes")
- Print number of signals ("triggered")
Issue #3283
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The new base/xsd/config.inc defines generic XSD types such as 'Boolean' or
'Session_label'. It can be included in config XSD files by using:
! <xs:include schemaLocation="file://${GENODE_CONFIG_INC}"/>
The string ${GENODE_CONFIG_INC} is replaced by the run tool with the
above mentionened file path.
Issue #2897
This is a follow-up patch of "init: avoid too eager child restart". On
each config update of init, init re-applies child-specific configuration
changes. In the case of an already exited child, this re-evaluation
wrongly marked such a child as abandoned because the child's environment
sessions do no longer exist. Abandoning the child, in turn, triggers the
destruction and subseqent restart (because the <start> node of the
configuration still exists). The latter is bad for two reasons.
First, the exit state of the original instance becomes lost. Second, the
restart may have unexpected side effects due to sessions created by the
new instance. I.e., when resizing a partition in sculpt, init would
wrongly restart the gpt-write tool after the tool successfully exited.
This collides with a newly started instance of part_blk/resize2fs, which
now competes with the second gpt-write instance for the exclusive access
of the targeted block device.
The patch prevents init from re-applying configurations to exited
children. The accompanied test case covers the corner case.
The addition of the 'Cap_consumer' feature to app/dummy increased the
static RAM demand of the component to a point where 1 MiB no longer
suffices on sel4 (on this kernel, the base library uses a larger amount
of statically allocated data compared to the others). The tweaks enable
init.run and init_loop.run to work on sel4 on x86-64.
Set DHCP-DISCOVER retry timeout and DHCP-REQUEST retry timeout from 10
seconds to 2 seconds. This prevents problems with tests where the NIC
driver comes up slowly and the first packets of the DHCP client get
dropped.
Issue #2837
Instead of handing over the maximum available size to the packet data
accessors, hand over a size guard that keeps track of the packets
boundaries.
This commit also moves the size-guard utilitiy header of Ping and NIC
Router to the include/net directory making it a part of the net library.
It applies the new approach to all net-lib users in the basic repositories.
Ping looses its configurability regarding the ICMP data size as this would
require an additional method in the size guard which would be used only by
Ping.
The size guard was also re-worked to fit the fact that a packet can
bring a tail as well as a header (Ethernet).
Issue #2788
The Ethernet payload may be followed by padding of variable length and
the FCS (Frame Check Sequence). Thus, we should consider the value
"Ethernet-frame size minus Ethernet-header size" to be only the maximum
size of the encapsulated IP packet. But until now, we considered it to
be also the actual size of the encapsulated IP packet. This commit fixes
the problem for all affected components of the Genode base-repository.
Fixes#2775
This reduces the redundant implementations of checksum calculation to
one generic implementation, makes the checksum interface conform over
all protocols, and brings performance optimizations. For instance,
the checksum is now calculated directly in big endian which saves us
most of the previously done byte-re-ordering.
Issue #2775
Replace packet method 'T *data' by the new methods 'T &reinterpret_data'
for parsing or modifying existing sub-protocol packets and 'T
&construct_at_data' for composing a new sub-protocol packet. This has
the advantage that, when composing a new packet, the default constructor
that zero-fills the packet is always called first.
Fixes#2751
This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.
Issue #2761Fixes#2786
Reduce the size and forward compatibility of VFS file-system
constructors by passing an object holding accessors for 'Genode::Env',
'Genode::Allocator', response handlers, and the root file-system.
Fix#2742
The 'ping' component continuously sends ICMP Echo requests to a given IP host
and waits for the corresponding ICMP Echo replies. For each successfull ICMP
Echo handshake it prints a short statistic. By now, it can be used only with a
static IP configuration. The size of the ICMP data field can be configured. It
gets filled with the letters of the alphabet ('a' to 'z') repeatedly.
