We changed the test hardware and the new one does not support 1400x1050 anymore.
Choose some conservative resolution since this is anyway a auto test nobody
is really looking at the screen output.
With this patch, functions which execute blocking syscalls on Fiasco.OC
are built with frame pointers to get a correct backtrace shown in GDB.
Also, the backtrace test for a thread currently executing a syscall now
traces the 'Genode::Thread_base::join()' function instead of
'Genode::sleep_forever()', because base-nova has a custom implementation
of 'Genode::sleep_forever()' with a different backtrace than on Fiasco.OC.
Fixes#1061.
Noux generates 'argv[0]' for the initial child automatically (in contrast
to the 'config_args' library), so the first argument stated in the
configuration should not be the GDB program name.
Fixes#1062.
The trace_fs server provides access to a Trace_session by using a
File_system_session as frontend.
Each trace subject is represented by a directory ('thread_name.subject')
that contains specific files ('active', 'cleanup', 'enable', 'events',
'buffer_size' and 'policy'), which are used to control the tracing
process of the thread as well as storing the content of its trace
buffer.
The tracing of a thread is only activated if there is a valid policy
installed and the intend to trace the subject was made clear by writing
'1' to the 'enable' file.
The tracing of a thread may be deactived by writing a '0' to the
'enable' file.
A policy may be changed by overwriting the currently used one. In this
case the old policy is replaced by the new policy and is automatically
utilize.
Writing a value to the 'buffer_size' file changes the appointed size of
the trace buffer. This value is only evaluted by reactivating the
tracing process.
The content of the trace buffer may be accessed by reading from the
'events' file. Throughout all tracing session new trace events are
appended to this file.
Nodes of UNTRACED subjects are kept as long as they do not change their
tracing state to DEAD. In this case all nodes are removed from the
file system. Subjects that were traced before and are now UNTRACED will
only be removed by writing '1' to the 'cleanup' file - even if they
are DEAD by now.
To use the trace_fs a config similar to the following may be used:
! <start name="trace_fs">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="128M"/>
! <provides><service name="File_system"/></provides>
! <config>
! <policy label="noux -> trace" interval="1000" subject_limit="512" trace_quota="64M" />
! </config>
! </start>
'interval' sets the periode in which the Trace_session is polled. The
time is given in milliseconds.
'subject_limit' speficies how many trace subject should by acquired at
most when the Trace_session is polled.
'trace_quota' is the amount of quota the trace_fs should use for the
Trace_session connection. The remaing amount of RAM quota will be used
for the actual nodes of the file system and the 'policy' as well as the
'events' files.
In addiition there are 'buffer_size' and 'buffer_size_limit' that define
the initial and the upper limit of the size of a trace buffer.
Tracing of parent processes or rather threads may be enabled by setting
'parent_levels' to a value greater than '0' (though this attribute is
available, the trace session component within core still lacks support
for it).
A ready-to-use runscript can by found in 'ports/run/noux_trace_fs.run'.
Fixes#1049.
As hw_arndale is a bit slower than foc_arm and spawn_serial timing
calculation has changed in general, timeouts of noux_tool_chain_auto test
must be adjusted.

Issue #949
Related to issue #808 - one way to nearly double the maximum VM size for
VMs on 32bit Genode/Nova host if decreased performance is acceptable.
To ease the creation of custom virtual machine monitors on top of
NOVA, this patch moves generic utilities from vancouver resp. seoul to the
public include location 'ports/include/vmm'. As a nice side effect,
this change simplifies 'vancouver/main.cc'.
Issue #949
DosBox is DOS-Emulator which is mainly used for playing old
DOS games on POSIX systems and newer Windows versions.
This port of DosBox runs natively on Genode by using its
SDL backend. It is currently only works on x86_*.
Fixes#937.
This patch changes the noux.run script to use the new log_terminal
component instead of an UART driver. Besides being a nice way to test
the log_terminal service, the new version is much simpler and it just
became compatible to Linux as it no longer relies on an UART driver.
Issue #947
This patch adds a 'gdb' command to 'cli_monitor', which makes it possible
to debug an application with GDB.
The command works similarly to the 'start' command, but instead of
starting the subsystem binary directly, an 'init' subsystem gets
started, which then starts 'terminal_crosslink', 'noux', GDB and
'gdb_monitor' (which starts the application binary as its target).
So, for the 'gdb' command to work, these additional components need to
be available, too. 'terminal_crosslink', 'noux', 'gdb_monitor' and the
file 'gdb_command_config' are expected to be ROM modules. The Noux GDB
client needs to get mounted at '/bin' in Noux and the target binaries need
to be available as ROM modules (loaded by 'gdb_monitor') and also mounted
at '/gdb' in Noux (loaded by the GDB client).
Additionally, the source code of the target application can be provided
at '/gdb/src/ in Noux. How the Noux mountings get established can
be configured in the 'gdb_command_config' file. The default configuration
in 'os/src/server/cli_monitor/gdb_command_config' mounts GDB from a tar
archive named 'gdb.tar', the GDB target binaries from a tar archive named
'gdb_target.tar' and the target source code from a tar archive named
'gdb_target-src.tar'.
The patch includes an 'expect' include file (ports/run/noux_gdb.inc)
which provides functions that help to create those tar files:
- 'create_gdb_tar' creates a tar archive for the 'gdb' client
- 'create_binary_tar' creates a tar archive for the target application
- 'create_source_tar' creates a tar archive for the source code of
the target application
- 'create_binary_and_source_tars' is a convenience wrapper for the previous
two functions
The patch also includes an example run script
(ports/run/noux_gdb_dynamic.run).
The 'gdb' command supports the following command line options:
- --ram: the initial RAM quota provided to the whole subsystem
(including the GDB-related components)
- --ram-limit: limit for expanding RAM quota
- --gdb-ram-preserve: the RAM quota that 'gdb_monitor' ahould preserve
for itself
Fixes#928.
This patch implements the POSIX signal functionality needed to interrupt a
running Noux GDB by pressing 'Ctrl-C'.
It allows to register a signal handler for the 'SIGINT' signal, which
gets executed after 'Ctrl-C' is received from the terminal. With the
current state of the implementation, the signal handler only gets executed
when the Noux application calls a 'read()', 'write()', 'ftruncate()' or
'select()' syscall.
Fixes#923.
* Remove far too low default values from Nic::Connection constructor
* Extend lwip initialization function with desired TX/RX buffer sizes
* Add configuration possibility to libc_lwip_dhcp plugin to define
buffer sizes, like the following:
'<libc tx_buf_size="1M" tx_buf_size="1M"/>'
Fixes#892
Statically configured NIC bridge clients must be configured via
<policy...> nodes in the config. Otherwise, the bridge can't answer ARP
requests or route traffic.
This patch updates the launchpad config to use XML attributes and
removes the built-in default configuration (which is only meaningful
for demo.run anyway).
The netperf test configures the target Genode system for with
10.0.2.55/24. Also, nic_drv on base-linux uses the virtual ethernet
device 'tap0', which must be configured for the test user and network
address 10.0.2.1/24 on the test host like follows.
tunctl -t tap0 -u <user running test>
ip address add 10.0.2.1/24 dev tap
ip link set tap0 up
This patch moves the GDB commands to set a breakpoint in the 'main()'
function into a separate file that can be included from other run scripts.
Fixes#876.
If the path of a Genode source file (as extracted from the binary test
application) contains a part like '/a/b/../' where '/a' exists, but '/a/b'
does not exist anymore, 'tar' complains. With this patch, the run script
normalizes the path before calling 'tar'.
Fixes#875.
Don't account the boottime to the actual compile time - since it varies quite
a lot if somebody else utilize the network with lwip tests for example ;-).
