Require x86_64 because memory/adress space limitations on x86_32
restrict the use-cases on such a platform anyway. Doing that,
we can also assume that memory adresses are always 64bit long and
do not have to handle 32bit adresses.
According to the creator of the net-stat lib, this lib was a mere debugging
tool that is not used anymore nor worth the work of updating the it to
modern Genode coding paradigms. Also, there exist no tests for the lib.
Instead of having a method validate_size in each packet class, check
sizes in the data accessor of the surrounding packet class. This packet
accessor is the one that casts the data pointer to the desired data type
so it is sensible that it also checks whether the desired type would
exceed the available RAM before doing the cast. This also fits nicely
the fact that for the top-level packet-class of a packet, the size must
not be checked (which was previously done).
Issue #465
The TCP window scaling is implemented for servers (like netperf's
netserver) only. The client implementation just uses the lower 16 bits
of the TCP_WND configuration value, which we therefore maximize to ~64K.
The '<dependencies>' attribute 'path' refers to a depot archive.
Depending on the attributes 'source="no"' and 'binary="no" (defaults
shown), the depot_query component determines the source/binary
dependencies of the given archive. The result has the form of a report
with a sequence of <missing> and <present> nodes, each equipped with the
'path' of the dependency.
Since the <query> node results in the generation of a "blueprint"
report, it should better be named <blueprint>. This also clears the way
for adding further query types such as <dependencies>, following the
same pattern of generating a report of the corresponding query name.
With this patch, it becomes possible to pass a 'Directory const &' to
the constructor of 'File_content', which is intuitive as the directory
content is not changed by reading a file.
The 'File_content::for_each_line' method did not correctly detect the
end of data for files without a trailing linebreak, thereby cutting the
last character from the last line.
This patch removes the former use of ram_fs, fs_rom, and fs_report from
the subsystem and uses a report_rom instead. The fs-based reporting was
introduced to accommodate automatically instantiated usb_block drivers,
which turned out to be impractical for the sculpt scenario.
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
Issue #465
This patch enables the warnings -Wextra, -Weffc++, and -Werror for
compiling Genode components. It thereby helps us to detect bugs like
uninitialized member variables or missing virtual destructors at compile
time. The warning level is defined via the new 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT'
variable. For targets that compile 3rd-party code where this warning
level is not applicable, the variable may be explictly set to an empty
value in the corresponding build-description file.
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
The warning "no interface connected to domain" was introduced when only one NIC
session at a time could be connected to a domain. It should help to track
packet drops that were caused by startup timing issues between servers and
clients. However, a user should watch the "NIC sessions" value of a domain
(verbose_domain_state) instead when debugging packet loss. With support for
multiple sessions per domain, even a non-empty domain may still miss the
session that connects the desired server.
Fix#2629
Stdin, stdout, and stderr are mapped to descriptors 0, 1, and 2
respectively. If these first three descriptors are not allocated before
the application becomes active then normal files and sockets can be
opened under these numbers, potentially causing unexpected application
behavior.
Fix#2628
This patch makes the creation of the libc's timer session depend on
whether or not the 'rtc' attribute of the <libc> configuration is
defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime' returns 0.
Fixes#2625
Previously, all packets that the router wanted to sent were first prepared to
their final state and then copied at once into the packet stream RAM. This is
fine for packets that the router only passes through with modifying merely
a few values. But for packets that the router writes from scratch on its own,
it is better to compose the packet directly in the packet stream RAM.
Fix#2626
Normally, Interface::send always takes the base and size of the RAM region
where a packet was composed and copies this finished packet at once into the
packet stream RAM. But we want to be able to also compose packets directly in
the packet stream RAM, so that no memcpy is needed. Thus, Interface::send now
takes a functor that describes how to compose the packet, then allocates the
packet stream RAM and applies the functor to this RAM. there is also a version
of Interface::send that provides the old behavior but with the new back end.
This way, we stay backwards-compatible.
Issue #2626
When composing an ARP packet for sending, it's pointless to use the Arp_packet
constructor as the constructor only checks whether the packet is malformed.
Issue #2618
The NIC router can now be configured to periodically send reports.
Configuration example (shows default values):
<config>
<report interval_sec="5" bytes="yes" config="yes">
</config>
If the 'report' tag is not available, no reports are send.
The attributes of the 'report' tag:
'bytes' : Boolean : Whether to report sent bytes and received bytes per
domain
'config' : Boolean : Whether to report ipv4 interface and gateway per
domain
'interval_sec' : 1..3600 : Interval of sending reports in seconds
Issue #2614
Avoid that the user has to define the number of HTTP/UDP clients manually.
This count is used by the run scripts to generate the expected log output.
Fix#2609
In the context of link state objects we often used the term "close" were we
actually meant "dissolve". The term "close" originated from the TCP connection
state and is still used in TCP links in the correct manner.
Issue #2609
Act as hub for the interfaces at a domain. This also changes the roles of the
Domain and Interface classes. By now the Interface held the data structures for
the ARP cache, foreign ARP waiters, and the searchtrees for layer 3 links. All
these structures have moved to the Domain while the memory allocations and
lifetime management for the contents of these structures still come from from
the according Interface object. The mentioned data structures were also adapted
to fit the fact that they now may maintain objects of different interfaces.
Issue #2609
If an IPv4 packet targets an IP local to the domain it comes from and doesn't
target the routers IP of that domain, forward it to all other interfaces of
the domain without considering any other routing.
Issue #2609
Previously, the function that returned the XML config for a network test
client/server in the scripts formed the component name of the peer solely
by combining the protocol name, "client" or "server", and a suffix that
is given as argument. However, to group multiple clients together in one
domain via their session label at the NIC router we want peers with the same
name prefix. Thus, the function now simply takes the whole name as argument.
Issue #2609
Improve ARP handling code in general:
Make the several cases and their handling more clear by using a more
readable if/else statement structure. Drop gratuitous ARP requests.
Domain-local ARP:
Handle ARP packets that target local IPs other than the routers IP
(forward them to all other interfaces of the domain).
Issue #2609
IP allocations were renamed DHCP allocations without fixing the according
places in log messages and comments. This commit rectifies this omission.
Issue #2609
This is necessary because in contrast to the zynq boards (see specs in genode-world), only zynq_qemu uses UART_0.
These files should thus fall under the zynq_qemu spec.
Fixes#2615
In newer glibc versions, the '__sigword' and '__sigmask' macros are only
available in sigsetops.h which is not installed. These macros are not
system-specific, hence we implement them explicitly ourselves.
Fixes#2616
The new variable 'INSTALL_TAR_CONTENT' allows one to customize the
content of the generated tar archive instead of including the entire
install directory.
This patch makes service-announce messages depend on the configured
verbosity. It also omits "parent provides" title messages if no new
parent services are added during a config update.
Detect loops by walking hard-links at two different speeds and checking
for lapping. Tar link walking is no longer a recursive procedure.
Caught a loop created by GNU tar 1.29.
Fix#2611
This patch changes the depot layout such that each archive is
represented as a directory that contains the versions of the archive as
subdirectories.
Issue #2610
If a client decides to spontaneously send a DHCP DISCOVER again, even though
he has received a still valid IP config from the router, we don't want to
discard the DISCOVER like it was done before but discard the IP config
assignment and offer a new one.
Issue #2534
When this flag is set in the config tag, the NIC router will print a
short information to the log for each general state change of a domain.
This includes currently the IP-configuration state and the number of
connected NIC sessions. This a useful addition as the normal verbose
flag's purpose is a very deep insight into almost every activity in the
router, which is cool for debugging sophisticated problems but normally
floods the log and therefore discards this option for, e.g., desktop
systems. In such systems, the new verbosity is pretty discreet but
already gives a good hint on why packets may get dropped by the router
although the routing rules are correct.
Issue #2534
The run tool now by default checks configurations with target-specific
XML schemata. Each component may define a config schema file in its
target.mk via the CONFIG_XSD variable. When the run tool has checked an
configuration of an init instance, it additionally goes through the
start nodes of the config. For each start node it checks whether there
is an XSD file that matches. If so, the run tool also checks the config
of the start node (if existant). This is done recursively. I.e., also
the child configs of a sub-init of a sub-init of the top-level init
receive a config check.
Issue #2600
Channels, and therefore contexts, may be shared between children
causing corruption when a child is destroyed while another child still
uses the old context within the channel.
related to #2601
In the past, we had the lock of the context we found for the rest of the scope
of pending_signal. Now we use for_each_locked to find the context and the
lock is released as soon as we return from for_each_locked. Thus, we need to
lock the context again before returning it to avoid that the copy constructor
during the return reads values that are currently changing.
Fixes#2532
The missing dissolve of the dummy decorator input component resulted in
problems when using the themed_decorator when repeatedly opening and
closing windows. In contrast to the default decorator, the themed
decorator creates and destroys nitpicker sessions per window.
Added a new constructor that takes the entrypoint as constructor
argument. The original constructor retrieves the entrypoint from the
Genode environment. This does not allow to use a different entrypoint.
Replace former rtt_sec attribute of the <config> tag by more specific
(and still optional) attributes for timeouts used in the NIC router
(these are also the default values):
<config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">
Details about the new attributes can be found in the README of the router.
Issue #2590
On x86 64 bit with SeL4, the test needs around 80MB that must be
completely composed of 4KB-pages due to current limitations of the SeL4
port. Thus, Core must flush the page table caches pretty often during
the test which is an expensive high-prior operation and makes it
impossible to provide a highly precise time.
Multi-wraps
-----------
Previously, on every new timeout, we programmed registers LR=timeout and
CMP=0. The counter than counted from LR down to 0, triggered the IRQ,
jumped back to LR, and counted down again. If one installed small
timeouts (< 1000 us), it was likely that the counter wrapped multiple
times before we were able to read it out. Initially, this was not a big
issue as the additional wraps were simply ignored and the amount of time
lost through this was not big. But when we want to do correct rate
limitation, multiple wraps cause an overflow in the additional
calculations, and this has a big effect on the resulting time value.
Thus, we now program the counter to start from ~0 and count down to 0.
We set CMP=~0-timeout so that the timer still triggers the IRQ at the right
time. The counter continues counting down after the IRQ has triggered until
we install a new timeout. We do not consider anymore that the counter wraps.
The maximum timeout is set to half the maximum counter value, so, we should
be able to install a new timeout before the counter wraps.
Rate limit for time updates
---------------------------
In the time span between two interrupts we have to remember how many ticks
we have already added to the time value. This is because at each call of
curr_time we can only see how many ticks have passed since the last call of
schedule_timeout and not since the last call of curr_time. But we want to
limit the rate of time updates in curr_time. With the member for ticks that
were already added since the last call to schedule_timeout we can then
calculate how many are yet to be added.

In case the video geometry (WxH) is larger than the current size of
the framebuffer, match its size and let libav do the scaling. This
enables the playback of 1080p movies on smaller screens.
Issue #2583.
This patch supplements the existing 'hover' report with the information
whether or not the user has recently moved the pointer. This works
analogously to how the 'focus' report features the information about
recent button/keyboard activity.
Together, the 'hover' and 'focus' reports may be combined to observe
prolonged user inactivity, e.g. to activate a lock screen.
This patch enables nitpicker to use an external focus policy instead of
the traditional builtin click-to-focus policy. The external focus policy
is obtained from a 'focus' ROM. The focus ROM is expected to have a
'label' attribute with the value set to the label of the to-be focused
client.
This patch revises the implementation of nitpicker in the following
respects:
- Split the implementation into smaller files,
- Consistently use the 'Nitpicker' namespace,
- Avoid the use of format strings,
- Retire old (and hackish) debug mode,
- Removal of unused timer connection,
- Merging 'Session' into 'Session_component',
- Merging 'Mode' into 'User_state',
- Adding the notions of 'View_owner' and 'Focus' as interfaces,
- Untangle 'User_state' and 'View_stack'
This patch adds a 'Color::print' method as counterpart to the 'ascii_to'
function. If the color is opaque (alpha is 255), its output has the form
"#rrggbb". If the color has a distinct alpha value, the output has the
form "#rrggbbaa". The new version of the 'ascii_to' overload for 'Color'
is able to deal with both forms.
This is a follup-up commit for "driver_manager: add fb_boot_drv
support". It refines the heuristics for selecting the most suitable
framebuffer driver be prevent boot_fb_drv from being preferred over
the VESA driver when running in Qemu.
The synchronization with the ACPI driver is not needed when starting
acpica at a later stage. It could already be disabled via the
'acpi_ready="yes"' config attribute. However, acpica still
unconditionally requests the so-called "Acpi" service, which is an
alias for the platform_drv's "Platform" service. This patch disables the
use of this alias when the 'acpi_ready' synchronization is disabled.
This patch supplements init's service-forwarding mechanism to propagate
the insufficient RAM/cap quota conditions from the server to the client.
Without it, the client's session request stays pending infinitely.
The debug version comes with an unwelcome libc dependency, which is
solely needed for the formatted output of error messages. Since the
distinction between the regular and the debug versions remained unused
in practice, this patch removes the debug version.
This is a follow-up patch to "init: periodic state updates if sensible".
In situations where the report rate is deliberately limited via the
'delay_ms' attribute while also reporting child-resource stats, we don't
want generate reports at a fixed rate of one second. This patch limits
the rate according to the 'delay_ms' value.
The input filter used to temporarily close all input sessions upon its
reconfiguration. In most cases, the same set of sessions is
re-established immediately afterwards. However, at the server (driver)
side, the closing of the session implicitly disables the input-event
queue. Hence events generated by the hardware while the session is
closed are dropped. This becomes a noticeable problem when using the
recently added <rom> modifier feature for handling capslock. The change
of the ROM always triggers the re-configuration of the input filter.
When pressing capslock and other keys at a high rate, press/release
events may get lost.
This patch solves this problem by maintaining all input sessions that
are defined in both the old and new configuration. It thereby removes
the short duration where the input event queues are temporarily disabled
at the drivers.
This makes '/' and the actual root of VFS distinguishable. A VFS root
may contain one ore more '/' entries for each file system. 'opendir' for
the VFS root opens all file systems via 'open_composite_dir', while
'opendir' for '/' only returns a VFS handle.
Fixes#2569
This patch adds a sanity check to the Event::type accessor. If the key
code of a given PRESS or RELEASE event is out of the valid range, it
reports an INVALID event. This way, client side code does not need to
deal with such edge cases. E.g., on Lenovo notebooks, the ps2 driver
reports strange key events when pressing shift-pageup/pagedown,
violating the general assumption that there is a release event for each
press event. By flagging these events as INVALID, the client-side logic
stays intact.
By now the file system gets mounted and unmounted on demand (whenever
the first clients comes along and whenever the last client leaves).
As a precaution we now also try to mount and unmounted the file system
in the init phase to prevent the first client from failing to its own
surprise.
Issue #2558.
Currently, LxIP peers need a lot of RAM (the simple test-client/server for the
nic_router test need at least 28 MB per component). As the nic_router test
previously used 6 instances of such components and a lot of other components,
it had issues with insufficient RAM on some platforms. By using two new
LwIP-based UDP tests instead, we save more than 100 MB.

Instead of storing whether the first item in the timeout list was already
programmed using the timer service, just program the first timeout in the
list unconditionally. In the past we lost a timeout at least when using the
usb ethernet driver on hw/arndale sporadically.
Previously the destructors of classes derived from Source were not
called when destructing a Source because Source missed the declaration
of a virtual destructor. This caused at least problems when
reconstructing a Chargen_source with its Chargen_repeater that includes
a One_shot_timeout. In this case, the members of the Alarm behind the
timeout were not reset and the next time beeing used the Alarm appeared
to be still active which wasn't true.
Fixes#2570
Instead of changing the attributes (e.g., Xd bit) of the top-level page-tables,
set them to allow everything. Only leafs of the paging hierarchy are set
according to the paging attributes given by core. Otherwise, top-level page-
table attributes are changed during lifetime, which requires a TLB flush
operation (not intended in the semantic of the kernel/core).
This led to problems when using the non-executable features introduced by
issue #1723 in the recent past.
The dependency was added as a supposed work-around of a dysfunctional

A new configuration may implicitly change the domain color of the

Without this patch, usb_drv would issue a resource request when
assigning a USB device to a VM in the sculpt scenario.
Furthermore, the patch adjusts the intel_fb quota to enable it on
devices where the driver allocates the framebuffer in many 4K pieces.
Linux does not do that in register_netdev() either. Some drivers set the
carrier flags on attach and never reenable it (as seen with rndis_host).
Consequently, the usbnet driver refuses to receive data as it checks the
carrier state before enqueuing new SKBs to its receive queue.
Apart from rndis_host, this change was tested with an ax88179_178a
device which worked as expected.
