Do not mask edge-triggered interrupts to avoid losing them while masked,
see Intel 82093AA I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
(IOAPIC) specification, section 3.4.2, "Interrupt Mask":
"When this bit is 1, the interrupt signal is masked. Edge-sensitive
interrupts signaled on a masked interrupt pin are ignored (i.e., not
delivered or held pending)"
Or to quote Linus Torvalds on the subject:
"Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect
logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device
is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt)."
So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at
all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in
while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set
a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at
that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by
sending a self-IPI." [1]

Ref #1448
In order to match the I/O APIC configuration, a request for user timer
IRQ 0 is remapped to vector 50 (Board::TIMER_VECTOR_USER), all other
requests are transposed by adding the vector offset 48
(Board::VECTOR_REMAP_BASE).
On base-hw/x86_64 the quota of the signal session is not sufficient due to
the large size of the Signal_session_component. Increasing the quota to
16K avoids signal-context resource exhaustion messages as emmitted by the
run/launcher scenario:
...
Quota exceeded! amount=4096, size=4096, consumed=4096
failed to allocate signal-context resources
upgrading quota donation for signal session
C++ runtime: Genode::Parent::Quota_exceeded
void* abort(): abort called
...
Note: This change increases the quota for all kernels even though it is
strictly only required for base-hw/x86_64.
* Enable the use of the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions, see Intel SDM
Vol. 3C, section 2.5.
* The state of the x87 floating point unit (FPU) is loaded and saved on
demand.
* Make the cr0 control register accessible in the Cpu class. This is in
preparation of the upcoming FPU management.
* Access to the FPU is disabled by setting the Task Switch flag in the cr0
register.
* Access to the FPU is enabled by clearing the Task Switch flag in the cr0
register.
* Implement FPU initialization
* Add is_fpu_enabled helper function
* Add pointer to CPU lazy state to CPU class
* Init FPU when finishing kernel initialization
* Add function to retry FPU instruction:
Similar to the ARM mechanism to retry undefined instructions, implement a
function for retrying an FPU instruction. If a floating-point instruction
causes an #NM exception due to the FPU being disabled, it can be retried
after the correct FPU state is restored, saving the current state and
enabling the FPU in the process.
* Disable FPU when switching to different user context:
This enables lazy save/restore of the FPU since trying to execute a
floating point instruction when the FPU is disabled will cause a #NM
exception.
* Declare constant for #NM exception
* Retry FPU instruction on #NM exception
* Assure alignment of FXSAVE area:
The FXSAVE area is 512-byte memory region that must be 16-byte aligned. As
it turns out the alignment attribute is not honored in all cases so add a
workaround to assure the alignment constraint is met by manually rounding
the start of the FXSAVE area to the next 16-byte boundary if necessary.
The LAPIC timer is programmed in one-shot mode with vector 32
(Board::TIMER_VECTOR_KERNEL). The timer frequency is measured using PIT
channel 2 as reference (50ms delay).
Disable PIT timer channel 0 since BIOS programs it to fire periodically.
This avoids potential spurious timer interrupts.
The implementation initializes the Local APIC (LAPIC) of CPU 0 in xapic
mode (mmio register access) and uses the I/O APIC to remap, mask and
unmask hardware IRQs. The remapping offset of IRQs is 48.
Also initialize the legacy PIC and mask all interrupts in order to
disable it.
For more information about LAPIC and I/O APIC see Intel SDM Vol. 3A,
chapter 10 and the Intel 82093AA I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller (IOAPIC) specification
Set bit 9 in the RFLAGS register of user CPU context to enable
interrupts on kernel- to usermode switch.
Make the local APIC accessible via its MMIO region by adding a 2 MB
large page mapping at 0xfee00000 with memory type UC.
Note: The mapping is added to the initial page tables to make the APIC
usable prior to the activation of core's page tables, e.g. in the
constructor of the timer class.
The location in memory is arbitrary but we use the same address as the
ARM architecture. Adjust references to virtual addresses in the mode
transition pages to cope with 64-bit values.
The interrupt stack must reside in the mtc region in order to use it for
non-core threads. The size of the stack is set to 56 bytes in order to
hold the interrupt stack frame plus the additional vector number that is
pushed onto the stack by the ISR.
Call the _virt_mtc_addr function with the _mt_isrs label to calculate
the ISR base address in Idt::setup. Again, assume the address to be
below 0x10000.
Use parameter instead of class member variable because it would get
stored into the mtc region otherwise. In a further iteration only the
actual IDT should be saved into the mtc, not the complete class
instance. Currently the class instance size is equal to the IDT table
size.
The class provides the load() function which reloads the GDTR with the
GDT address in the mtc region. This is needed to make the segments
accessible to non-core threads.
Make the _gdt_start label global to use it in the call to
_virt_mtc_addr().
Use the _mt_tss label and the placement new operator to create the
Tss class instance in the mtc region. Update the hard-coded
TSS base address to use the virtual mtc address.
On exception, the CPU first checks the IDT in order to find the
associated ISR. The IDT must therefore be placed in the mode transition
pages to make them available for non-core threads.
The limit is set to match the TSS size - 1 and the base address is
hardcoded to the *current* address of the TSS instance (0x3a1100).
TODO: Set the base address using the 'tss' label. If the TSS descriptor
format were not so utterly unusable this would be straightforward.
Changes to the code that indirectly lead to a different location
of the tss result in #GP since the base address will be invalid.
The class Genode::Tss represents a 64-bit Task State Segment (TSS) as
specified by Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 7.7.
The setup function sets the stack pointers for privilege levels 0-2 to
the kernel stack address. The load function loads the TSS segment
selector into the task register.
Implement user argument setter and getter support functions. The mapping of
the state registers corresponds to the system call parameter passing
convention.
The instruction pointer is the first field of the master context and can
directly be used as a jump argument, which avoids additional register
copy operations.
Point stack to client context region and save registers using push
instructions.
Note that since the push instruction first increments the stack pointer
and then stores the value on the stack, the RSP has to point one field
past RBP before pushing the first register value.
As the kernel entry is called from the interrupt handler the stack
layout is as specified by Intel SDM Vol. 3A, figure 6-8. An additional
vector number is stored at the top of the stack.
Gather the necessary client information from the interrupt stack frame
and store it in the client context.
The new errcode field is used to store the error code that some
interrupts provide (e.g. #PF). Rework mode transition reserved space and
offset constants to match the new CPU_state layout.
The macros are used to assign syscall arguments to specific registers.
Using the AMD64 parameter passing convention avoids additional copying of
variables since the C++ function parameters are already in the right
registers.
The interrupt return instruction in IA-32e mode applies the prepared
interrupt stack frame to set the RFLAGS, CS and SS segment as well as
the RIP and RSP registers. It then continues execution of the user code.
For detailed information refer to Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 6.14.3.
After activating the client page tables the client context cannot be
accessed any longer. The mode transition buffer however is globally
mapped and can be used to restore the remaining register values.
Set the stack pointer to the R8 field in the client context to enable
restoring registers by popping values of the stack.
After this step the only remaining registers that do not contain client
values are RAX, RSP and RIP.
Note that the client value of RAX is pop'd to the global buffer region as
the register will still be used by subsequent steps. It will be restored to
the value in the buffer area just prior to resuming client code execution.
Set I/O privilege level to 3 to allow core to perform port I/O from
userspace. Also make sure the IF flag is cleared for now until interrupt
handling is implemented.
Setup an IA-32e interrupt stack frame in the mode transition buffer region.
It will be used to perform the mode switch to userspace using the iret
instruction.
For detailed information about the IA-32e interrupt stack frame refer to
Intel SDM Vol. 3A, figure 6-8.
The constants specify offset values of CPU context member variables as
specified by Genode::Cpu_state [1] and Genode::Cpu::Context [2].
[1] - repos/base/include/x86_64/cpu/cpu_state.h
[2] - repos/base-hw/src/core/include/spec/x86/cpu.h
The new entries specify a 64-bit code segment with DPL 3 at index 3 and a
64-bit data segment with DPL 3 at index 4.
These segments are needed for transitioning to user mode.
A pointer to the client context is placed in the mt_client_context_ptr area.
It is used to pass the current client context to the lowlevel mode-switching
assembly code.
IA-32e paging translates 48-bit linear addresses to 52-bit physical
addresses. Translation structures are hierarchical and four levels deep.
The current implementation supports regular 4KB and 1 GB and 2 MB large
page mappings.
Memory typing is not yet implemented since the encoded type bits depend
on the active page attribute table (PAT)*.
For detailed information refer to Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 4.5.
* The default PAT after power up does not allow the encoding of the
write-combining memory type, see Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 11.12.4.
* Add common IA-32e paging descriptor type:
The type represents a table entry and encompasses all fields shared by
paging structure entries of all four levels (PML4, PDPT, PD and PT).
* Simplify PT entry type by using common descriptor:
Differing fields are the physical address, the global flag and the memory
type flags.
* Simplify directory entry type by using common descriptor:
Page directory entries (PDPT and PD) have an additional 'page size' field
that specifies if the entry references a next level paging structure or
represents a large page mapping.
* Simplify PML4 entry type by using common descriptor
Top-level paging structure entries (PML4) do not have a 'pat' flag and the
memory type is specified by the 'pwt' and 'pcd' fields only.
* Implement access right merging for directory paging entries
The access rights for translations are determined by the U/S, R/W and XD
flags. Paging structure entries that reference other tables must provide
the superset of rights required for all entries of the referenced table.
Thus merge access rights of new mappings into existing directory entries to
grant additional rights if needed.
* Add cr3 register definition:
The control register 3 is used to set the current page-directory base
register.
* Add cr3 variable to x86_64 Cpu Context
The variable designates the address of the top-level paging structure.
* Return current cr3 value as translation table base
* Set context cr3 value on translation table assignment
* Implement switch to virtual mode in kernel
Activate translation table in init_virt_kernel function by updating the
cr3 register.
* Ignore accessed and dirty flags when comparing existing table entries
These flags can be set by the MMU and must be disregarded.
* Add isr.s assembler file:
The file declares an array of Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) to handle
the exception vectors from 0 to 19, see Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section
6.3.1.
* Add Idt class:
* The class Genode::Idt represents an Interrupt Descriptor Table as
specified by Intel SDM Vol. 3A, section 6.10.
* The setup function initializes the IDT with 20 entries using the ISR
array defined in the isr.s assembly file.
* Setup and load IDT in Genode::Cpu ctor:
The Idt::setup function is only executed once on the BSP.
* Declare ISRs for interrupts 20-255
* Set IDT size to 256
This patch contains the initial code needed to build and bootstrap the
base-hw kernel on x86 64-bit platforms. It gets stuck earlier
because the binary contains 64-bit instructions, but it is started in
32-bit mode. The initial setup of page tables and switch to long mode is
still missing from the crt0 code.
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
If a client acknowledges the same packet more than once, the packet also
gets freed more than once. At the second attempt the underlaying
Bit_array will throw an 'Invalid_clear' exception, which results in an
uncaught exception that leads to an abort() call in the freeing
component.

The driver for the Freescale eSDHCv2 doesn't support the highest

Fix#1458
The 'continue_hw_accelerated' assertion at the end of the recall handler
can fail in situations which are not problematic, for example if the
'Timer' thread has set the 'VMCPU_FF_TIMER' flag in the meantime and
requested a recall afterwards. Since we don't know for sure if a recall is
requested for the other flags as well, the assertion gets replaced by a
debug message, which gets printed if any of the 'not yet verified as safe'
flags is set.
Fixes#1426
The GUID partition table (GPT) is primarily used by systems using
(U)EFI and is a replacement for the legacy MBR. For now, the current
implementation is able to address up to 128 GUID partition entries
(GPE).
To enable the GPT support in 'part_blk' it has to be configured
accrodingly:
! <start name="part_blk">
! [...]
! <config use_gpt="yes">
! [...]
! </start>
If 'part_blk' is not able to find a valid GPT header it falls back
to using the MBR.
Current limitations:
Since no endian conversion takes place it only works on LE platforms
and of all characters in the UTF-16 encoded name field of an entry
only the ones included in the ASCII encoding are printed. It also
ignores all GPE attributes.

The bindings for 32bit did not consider that in the syscall_3 function

Fix#1440
This decouples the size of the mode transition control region from the
minimal mapping size of the page tables implementation. Rather, the CPU
architecture is able to specify the actual size.
Rationale: For x86_64, we need the mtc region to span two pages in order
to store all the tables required to perform the mode switch.
The size of empty structs differs in C (0 byte) and C++ (1 byte), which
leads to different offsets in compound structures. This fixes the driver
on 32Bit platforms.
Issue #1439.
The wireless stack calls timer_before(foo, timer.expires) and up to now

We will always see this error message when the driver is started. It
is expected and not an actual error. When the driver is running it will
not allocate larger chunks than the Slab provides. Therefore, we can
safely ignore this message.
Issue #1439.
Some functions in the time manager, for example 'TMTimerSet()' and
'TMTimerStop()' let VirtualBox abort with a failed assertion if the timer
does not change to a 'stable' state after 1000 calls of a mixture of
'yield' and 'sleep'. On Genode, this happens sometimes when the 'EMT'
thread is executing 'TMTimerSet()' and gets interrupted by the 'TAP'
thread, which calls 'TMTimerStop()' and waits for the 'EMT' thread to
finish setting the timer. Since the 'EMT' thread has the lowest priority,
1000 retries can be too few. Without the assertion, these functions would
return an error code, which is often ignored by the caller, so it seems
safer to keep retrying until the function can return successfully.
Fixes#1437
Among others, this function is used in the for_each_set_big() macro,
which is used when configuring the data rate tables. Therefore, this

If running multiple VBox VMMs with Windows as guest concurrently then it may

To enable support of hardware virtualization for ARM on the Arndale board,
the cpu needs to be prepared to enter the non-secure mode, as long as it does
not already run in it. Therefore, especially the interrupt controller and
some TrustZone specific system registers need to be prepared. Moreover,
the exception vector for the hypervisor needs to be set up properly, before
booting normally in the supervisor mode of the non-secure world.

Up to now Noux used the libc sleep functions, which actually is not

sleeping is now handled directly by Noux. It is implemented by calling

The linker scripts use to fill alignment gaps within the text section
with the magic value 0x90909090, which correponds to the opcodes of four
nop instructions on x86. This patch removes this value because it
apparently solves no problem. If, for some reason (e.g., due to a dangling
pointer) a thread executes instructions within alignment paddings, NOP
instructions are not any better than any other instruction. The program
will eventually execute the instructions after the padding, which is
most likely fatal. It would be more reasonable to fill the padding with
the opcode of an illegal instruction so that such an error can be
immediately detected. That said, I cannot remember a single instance,
where the fill value has helped us during debugging.
Even if the mechanism served a purpose on x86, it is still better to
remove it because it does not equally work on the other architectures
where the linker scripts are used. I.e., on ARM, the opcode 0x90909090
is not a NOP instruction.

When building Genode for VEA9X4 as micro-hypervisor protected by the ARM
TrustZone hardware we ran into limitations regarding our basic daily
testing routines. The most significant is that, when speaking about RAM
partitioning, the only available options are to configure the whole SRAM
to be secure and the whole DDR-RAM to be non-secure or vice versa. The
SRAM however provides only 32 MB which isn't enough for both a
representative non-secure guest OS or a secure Genode that is still
capable of passing our basic tests. This initiated our decision to
remove the VEA9X4 TrustZone-support.
Fixes#1351
On VEA9X4-TZ, the context-area overlaps with the virtual area of the
text, data and bss. However, we can't simply change the link address as
the core image (used physically respectively 1:1 mapped) needs to be in
this particular RAM-region as it is the only one that can be protected
against a VM. Thus I've moved the context area to a place where it
shouldn't disturb any HW-platform.

The HW-kernel, in contrast to other kernels, provides a direct reference

time span where the root parent-entrypoint of the faulter has alredy
dissolved the pager object from the pager entrypoint, but not yet
silenced the according signal context. To avoid this we issue an
additional 'lookup_and_lock' with the received pager object. This isn't
optimal as we don't need the potentially cost-intensive lookup but only the
synchronization.

- assign mvm->pm_ops at beginning of function iwl_op_mode_mvm_start.
iwl_mvm_mac_setup_register() uses mvm->pm_ops, but it is called
before this field is set to a valid value.
- disable call to function iwl_mvm_prepare_multicast.
This function leads to a pagefault, as it aspects a list of multicast
addresses, but the list is empty as it is not generated by this port.
