When creating a source archive for the USB driver, both the contrib and
Genode-specific source codes are merged into a single directory
structure. In this case, the original way of determining the Linux
source code to scan for #include directives would apply the scanning to
Genode-specific source codes too. This patch tightens the search
criterion such that only Linux source codes are processed.
This macro is implicitly pulled in by libc-setjmp (via the libc's
cdefs.h). However, apparently not all sources include <setjmp.h>.
Unfortunately, for sources that do, this change produces a
double-definition warning. We should fix it by removing the dependency
from the libc's setjmp.
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.
The size of the whole table and table entries were exchanged for PML4,
leading to out-of-bound accesses for addesses >= 2^39. Some constants
were lacking type suffixes causing integer overflows.
Added assertions to catch out-of-bound accesses early on.

If we do the tics-to-us translation with one division and multiplication
over the whole argument, like before, we loose microseconds granularity
although the timer frequency allows for such granularity. Thus, we treat
the most significant half and the least significant half of the tics
value separate. Each half is shifted to the best bit position for the
translation, then translated, and then shifted back.

The use of 'select_from_repositories' for locating the linker script for
dynamically-linked executables only works if 'BASE_DIR' appears in the
list of 'REPOSITORIES'. This is the case when using the build system in
the traditional way but it is not desired when building binary archives
of individual components.
This patch adjusts the run script in two ways:
It removes the reliance on init's formerly built-in resource-request
handling by increasing the RAM quota for the backdrop instances. Since
commit "init: explicit response to resource requests", init no longer
hands out slack memory automatically.
Second, it makes sure that the backdrop appears under the precise label
"backdrop" at nitpicker by facilitating init's label-rewriting feature.
Without explicitly setting the label to "backdrop", nitpicker observes
the label "backdrop -> backdrop" (the first part comes from init, the
second part comes from the nitpicker-session argument specified by
backdrop itself). However, the client is only considered as default
background if labeled as "backdrop" (see nitpicker's '_create_session')
implementation.
Issue #2352
The base class of Registered must provide a virtual destructor to enable
safe deletion with just a base class pointer. This requirement can be
lifted by using Registered_no_delete in places where the deletion
property is not needed.
Fixes#2331
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
With the current implementation resource requests are not automically
satisfied with slack quota by init. Therefore, this commit adapts RAM
quotas of autopilot scenarios to the actual demands.
An inline attribute mismatch in the gcc-4.9.2 source causes its

The test used to rely on init's formerly built-in policy of answering
resource requests with slack memory, if available. Since init no longer
responds to resource requests in an autonomous way, we use a dynamically
configured sub-init instance as runtime for the test. This instance, in
turn, is monitored and controlled such that resource requests are
result in quota upgrades. The monitoring component is implemented in
the same test-resource_request program as the test. Both roles are
distinguished by the "role" config attribute.
This is a follow-up to "init: explicit response to resource requests".

Issue #2338
This patch equips init with the ability to act as a server that forwards
session requests to its children. Session requests can be routed
depending of the requested service type and the session label
originating from init's parent.
The feature is configured by one or multiple <service> nodes hosted in
init's <config> node. The routing policy is selected by via the regular
server-side policy-selection mechanism, for example:
<config>
...
<service name="LOG">
<policy label="noux">
<child name="terminal_log" label="important"/>
</policy>
<default-policy> <child name="nitlog"/> </default-policy>
</service>
...
</config>
Each policy node must have a <child> sub node, which denotes name of the
server with the 'name' attribute. The optional 'label' attribute defines
the session label presented to the server, analogous to how the
rewriting of session labels works in session routes. If not specified,
the client-provided label is presented to the server as is.
Fixes#2247
This patch removes the formerly built-in policy of responding to
resource requests with handing out slack quota. Instead, resource
requests have to be answered by an update of the init configuration with
adjusted quota values.
Note that this patch may break run scripts that depend on init's
original policy. Those run scripts may be adjusted by increasing the
quota for the components that use to inflate their RAM usage during
runtime such that the specified quota suffices for the entire lifetime
of the component.
This patch destructs the environment sessions for the binary and the
dynamic linker along with the other environment sessions to avoid a
warning about reverting quota that occurs when attempting to close
these sessions too late.
This patch improves init's dynamic reconfigurability with respect to
adjustments of the RAM quota assigned to the children.
If the RAM quota is decreased, init withdraws as much quota from the
child's RAM session as possible. If the child's RAM session does not
have enough available quota, a resource-yield request is issued to
the child. Cooparative children may respond to such a request by
releasing memory.
If the RAM quota is increased, the child's RAM session is upgraded.
If the configuration exceeds init's available RAM, init re-attempts
the upgrade whenever new slack memory becomes available (e.g., by
disappearing other children).
Since init no longer provides public headers, we have to adjust the
existing users of this headers. The 'init/child_config.h' is used only
by GDB monitor. So the patch moves the header there as an interim fix.
The 'init/child_policy.h' is still used by a few components, so we have
to keep a trimmed-down version of it for now.
This patch enables init to apply changes of any server's <provides>
declarations in a differential way. Servers can in principle be extended
by new services without re-starting them. Of course, changes of the
<provides> declarations may affect clients or would-be clients as this
information is taken into account for the session routing.
This patch addresses the corner cases where an environment session
could not be routed, i.e., if an environment LOG log session is
routed to a non-existing child.
The optional 'version' attribute allows for the forced restart of a
child with an otherwise unmodified start node. The specified value is
also reflected in the state report.
This patch covers the resolution of the ROM route for child binaries
via the generic label-rewriting mechanics. Now, the <binary> node has
become merely sytactic sugar for a route like the following:
<start name="test"/>
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="test">
<parent label="test-binary-name"/> </service>
...
</route>
...
</start>
A change of the binary name has an effect on the child's ROM route to
the binary and thereby implicitly triggers a child restart due to the
existing re-validation of the routing.
This patch extends the constructor of 'Local_connection' with an
optional 'label' argument, which was previously passed implicitly as
part of the 'args' argument. Keeping the label separate from 'args'
enables us to distinguish the client-specified label from a label that
resulted from a server-side label as it is used when rewriting a label
of an environment session (i.e., the binary name) in init's routing
policy. In principle, this patch eliminates the need for init's
explicite handling of the binary name via the '<binary>' node, or
at least allows us to simplity the binary-node handling.
With this check in place, one can safely construct an 'Xml_generator'
even if the report is disabled. This relieves the user of the reporter
from the need to distinguish enabled from disabled reports.
The initial ROMs (program and linker) are already attached to the region
map of a forked process and don't need to be obtained again from an
external ROM service when the 'Child' class asks for them. For the program
image, the local Noux ROM service already returned an invalid dataspace
capability, but not for the linker.
Instead of adding another 'magic' ROM name for the local ROM service,
this commit implements an 'empty' ROM service, which returns an
invalid dataspace for the initial ROMs.

The race may happen when element objects get destructed by another thread then

Under certain timing conditions, the test would end up flushing the
input from the input filter in a nested way, which ultimately resulted
in lost input events of the outer nesting level. This patch eliminates
this corner case and thereby stabilizes the key-repeat test.
Transfer quota to the session local RAM session to react to the
Quota_exceeded exception properly.
The platform driver keeps a session local RAM session for each of its
clients that is used to allocate DMA memory. A client needs to transfer
some of its quota to the platform driver, which in return transfers this
quota to the session local RAM session. As it happens allocating memory
from a RAM session involves book keeping and in this case, where the
available quota in the session did not suffice and the request was only
a few KiB, the platform driver handled the exception wrongly and did not
transfer the quota.
This problem did not surface up to now because all drivers allocate DMA
memory in larger chunks and the book keeping overhead was of no
consequence as the initial quota transfer probably covered the overhead.
Fixes#2316.
Due to rounding in the timeout calculation it may happen that the timeout
stored in ms becomes 0, but actually some time (us or ns) are left to wait.
With threads on various priorities (vbox) this may end up in endless loops.

The file space demand for the object files when compiling core has grown.
Therefore, the ram_fs component runs out of memory and requests additional
memory from init. On OKL4, where the physical memory is limited by the

of 1G to noux.

Fixes#2308
Previously, on X86, the timer driver used the PIT with a maximum timeout
of 54 ms. Thus, the driver frequently interrupted the counters with
highest priority to update the timer. This is why we needed a higher
error tolerance as for ARM where the driver, once configured, can sleep
for the whole test timeout. Now, we use the kernel timer and the problem
seems to be exits no longer.

Previously we pre-calculated the translation errors for the session
quota to make a discret check in the test. But since the order, in which
init childs get their CPU quota isn't always the same anymore (we should
have never made assumptions about that) the translation errors differ
from trial to trial. However, the errors are below 0.01% of the super
period. We now tolerate them in the run script.

With the commit "init: session-label rewriting", the stack usage
increased due to the handling of session-label strings as local
variables. The stack overrun occurred in the vmm scenario on
base-hw.
There was a race when the component entrypoint wanted to do
'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal'. In this function it raises a flag for
the signal proxy thread to notice that the entrypoint also wants to
block for signals. When the flag is set and the signal proxy wakes up
with a new signal, it tried to cancel the blocking of the entrypoint.
However, if the entrypoint had not reached the signal blocking at this
point, the cancel blocking failed without a solution. Now, the new
Kernel::cancel_next_signal_blocking call solves the problem by storing a
request to cancel the next signal blocking of a thread immediately
without blocking itself.

This patch improves the accuracy of init's quota-saturation feature
(handing out all slack quota to a child by specifying an overly high RAM
quota for the child) and makes the RAM preserved by init configurable.
The preservation is specified as follows:
! <config>
! ...
! <resource name="RAM" preserve="1M"/>
! ...
! </config>
If not specified, init has a reasonable default of 160K (on 32 bit) and
320K (on 64 bit).
It seems that our buildbot has a problem with the TCL command 'string
cat'. In most cases it is not necessary anyway as we can use the ""
enclosure instead. It unfolds inline procedure calls and variables
automatically. We don't want to use "" only in cases where the literal
shall contain many " characters itself as it is the case for XML
configs. Then we use the 'append' command and a helper variable instead.

It can happen that when Cpu_free_component is constructed the insertion

dangling object pool entry for the EP.

This patch lets init apply configuration changes to a running scenario
in a differential way. Children are restarted if any of their session
routes change, new children can be added to a running scenario, or
children can deliberately be removed.
Furthermore, the new version of init is able to propagate configuration
changes (modifications of <config> nodes) to its children without
restarting them.
If 'close' does not call 'unlink' like 'shutdown', the Lxip_socket_dir

This patch ensures that the POLICY::release is called whenever the

exception like 'Quota_exceeded' caused a single-session root interface
to deny subsequent session requests.

Change metadata before submitting a packet. If the submitting thread is a

This patch enhances the 'Child' and 'Child_policy' with the ability to
separate the different steps of bootstrapping children. If the
'Child_policy::initiate_env_sessions()' returns false, the child's
environment sessions remain unrouted at construction time. This way,
child objects for many children can be initialized to a state that
allows the children to represent services for other children. Therefore,
session routing can be applied before any child executes.
At this stage, the environment RAM sessions of all children can be
created. Note that this step still has the limitation that RAM sessions
are generally expected to be provided by either the parent or a local
service.
Once all children are equipped with RAM, they can in principle receive
session-quota donations. Hence, all other environment sessions can now
be arbitrarily routed and initiated.
Once the environment of a child is complete, the child's process and
initial thread is created.
This patch improves the accounting for the backing store of
session-state meta data. Originally, the session state used to be
allocated by a child-local heap partition fed from the child's RAM
session. However, whereas this approach was somehow practical from a
runtime's (parent's) point of view, the child component could not count
on the quota in its own RAM session. I.e., if the Child::heap grew at
the parent side, the child's RAM session would magically diminish. This
caused two problems. First, it violates assumptions of components like
init that carefully manage their RAM resources (and giving most of them
away their children). Second, if a child transfers most of its RAM
session quota to another RAM session (like init does), the child's RAM
session may actually not allow the parent's heap to grow, which is a
very difficult error condition to deal with.
In the new version, there is no Child::heap anymore. Instead, session
states are allocated from the runtime's RAM session. In order to let
children pay for these costs, the parent withdraws the local session
costs from the session quota donated from the child when the child
initiates a new session. Hence, in principle, all components on the
route of the session request take a small bite from the session quota to
pay for their local book keeping
Consequently, the session quota that ends up at the server may become
depleted more or less, depending on the route. In the case where the
remaining quota is insufficient for the server, the server responds with
'QUOTA_EXCEEDED'. Since this behavior must generally be expected, this
patch equips the client-side 'Env::session' implementation with the
ability to re-issue session requests with successively growing quota
donations.
For several of core's services (ROM, IO_MEM, IRQ), the default session
quota has now increased by 2 KiB, which should suffice for session
requests to up to 3 hops as is the common case for most run scripts. For
longer routes, the retry mechanism as described above comes into effect.
For the time being, we give a warning whenever the server-side quota
check triggers the retry mechanism. The warning may eventually be
removed at a later stage.
This patch equips init with the ability to report its internal state in
the form of a "state" report. This feature can be enabled by placing a
'<report>' node in init's configuration.
The report node accepts the following arguments (with their default
values):
'delay_ms="100"': specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before
producing a new report. This way, many consecutive state changes -
like they occur during the startup - do not result in an overly
large number of reports but are merged into one final report.
'buffer="4K"': the maximum size of the report in bytes. The attribute
accepts the use of K/M/G as units.
'init_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
with the memory stats of init.
'ids="no"': supplement the children in the report with unique IDs, which
may be used to infer the lifetime of children accross configuration
updates in the future;
'requested="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all session requests initiated by the children.
'provided="no"': if enabled, the report will contain information about
all sessions provided by all servers.
'session_args="no"': level of detail of the session information
generated via 'requested' or 'provided'.
'child_ram="no"': if enabled, the report will contain a '<ram>' node
for each child based on the information obtained from the child's RAM
session.
Issue #2246
This method is a hook to enable a runtime to respond to state changes.
In particular, in init this hook is used to trigger the generation of a
new state report, if configured.
Furthermore, the patch introduces the 'generate_client_side_info' and
'generate_server_side_info' methods to the 'Session_state', which
generates an XML representation of the session states to appear in
reports produced by init.

Normally, the platform driver helpers adapt the global run variables directly
via append. But the introduction of a more elegant run script style, that
incorporates dependent strings inline may be a good idea. Thus, we need the
backends of the helpers available as functions that return their string rather
than appending it.
The old interface still exists and uses the new interface as backend.

Ref #2193
This patch enhances init with the support for rewriting session labels
in the target node of a matching session route. For example, a Noux
instance may have the following session route for the "home" file
system:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs"/>
</service>
...
</route>
At the rump_fs file-system server, the label of the file-system session
will appear as "noux -> home". This information may be evaluated by
rump_fs's server-side policy. However, when renaming the noux instance,
we'd need to update this server-side policy.
With the new mechanism, the client's identity can be hidden from the
server. The label could instead represent the role of the client, or a
name of a physical resource. For example, the Noux route could be
changed to this:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs" label="primary_user"/>
</service>
...
</route>
When the rump_fs receives the session request, it is presented with the
label "primary_user". The fact that the client is "noux" is not taken
into account for the server-side policy selection.
Issue #2248
The new return value of 'resolve_session_request' allows the child
policy to define the label used as the policy selector at the server.
Because this patch introduces the distinction of the child-provided
label from the label as presented to the server along with the session
request, the latter is now handled as a dedicated 'Session_state'
argument.
