80bc1cff5f run: Use Qemu 5.0.0 compatile gic-version param.
It seems Qemu 5.0.0 no longer supports gic_version parameter.
Apparently this only worked due to some compat feature that
was dropped in Qemu 5.0.0. The replacement which works on both
old and new Qemu versions is gic-version.

5f5ad41ad3 hw: unify irq enumeration for Raspberri Pi
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.

157f4b1270 pthread: implement condattr setclock
Normally CLOCK_REALTIME is used. However libraries, like glib, want to
use CLOCK_MONOTONIC. To make those users happy add setting the clock.

Note, the pthread_cond implementation uses the POSIX semaphore API
internally that does not have means to set the clock. For this reason,
the private 'sem_set_clock' function is introduced.

a59b69758b sculpt: remove deferred GUI initialization
The sculpt manager used to defer the initialization of the GUI until
nitpicker's first display report became ready. This way, Sculpt was able

Thanks to #3827, nitpicker no longer depends on a working framebuffer
driver. So the sculpt manager is safe to rely on nitpicker in any case,
simplifying the code.

556a5c8086 libc: clean up 'clock_gettime' handling
This patch untangles the dependency of VFS operations that need RTC
information from the 'clock_gettime' libc function that must never be
called from the libc kernel context.

- The 'Rtc' class uses the VFS directly for reading the rtc file instead
  of relying on libc functions.

- The 'Rtc' instance has become part of the 'Kernel' instead of
  being construced as a side effect of the first call of
  'clock_gettime'.

- Changed 'Rtc::read' to return a timespec value, which has a higher
  precision than the formerly used time_t value.

- The 'Rtc::read' returns a value with the relative 'current_time'
  already applied. The former handling of subsequent rtc-value
  updates has been rewritten to become more logical.

- The 'Vfs_plugin' no longer calls 'clock_gettime' but the new
  kernel-level 'Current_real_time' interface.

852ab79359 Move atexit handling from base lib to libc
This patch untangles the interplay of the base library and the libc
during the exit handling.

- The CXA ABI for the atexit handling is now provided by the libc.
  For plain Genode components without libc dependency, __cxa_atexit
  is a no-op, which is consistent with Genode's notion of components.

- The 'abort' implementation of the base library no longer calls
  'genode_exit' but merely 'sleep_forever'. This way, the cxx library
  no longer depends on a 'genode_exit' implementation.

- The libc provides 'atexit' support by storing metadata on the
  libc kernel's heap now, thereby eliminating the former bounded
  maximum number of atexit handlers.

- Shared-library dtors are no longer called via the atexit mechanism
  by explicitly by the dynamic linker. This slightly changes the
  call order of destructors (adjustment of the ldso test). Functions
  marked as destructors are called after the atexit handlers now.

- The libc executes atexit handlers in the application context,
  which supports the I/O operations in those handles, in particular
  the closing of file descriptors.

2e22498e5a nitpicker: no framebuffer and input by default

9662d89cfb Replace input filter with event filter
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.

The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.

The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.

c502e1d095 input_filter: prepare for refactorization
This patch brings the input filter into a shape that is easier to
re-mold into an event filter, reversing the client/server roles of
the component.

* The 'Sink &destination' is no longer passed as constructor argument
  to the individual filters but passed as argument to the 'generate'
  method. This way, the final destination does not need to exist at
  the construction time of the filter chain but can be created on
  the fly (clearing the way for using 'Event::Client::with_batch').

* A new 'Source::Filter' interface with the 'apply' method aids the
  cascading of filters during 'generate'. The modules now implement
  the 'Source::Filter::filter_event' interface instead of the
  'Source::Sink::submit_event' interface.

* Since the 'Sink &destination' is no longer a member of the filter
  modules, character-repeat events can no longer be emitted in an
  ad-hoc way. Instead, the character-repeat mechanism now invokes
  a new 'Trigger::trigger_generate' hook that prompts the execution
  of the regular 'generate' mechanism by the main program.

This patch is supposed to leave the semantics of the input filter
unchanged (validated by the input_filter.run script).

7bac1ec7e5 Adapter for connecting input and event servers
This is an intermediate helper component for the transition of input
servers into event clients. It works analogously to the
input_event_bridge but it connects servers instead of clients.
In particular, it can act as glue between a traditional input driver
that provides an input service and the event filter that provides an
event service. Thanks to this component, each driver can be migrated to
the event-client interface individually.

c81af531a3 Turn framebuffer drivers into capture clients
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.

The patch touches the following areas:

- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
  been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
  have become simpler.

- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
  subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
  valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.

- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.

- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
  framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
  can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
  server.

- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.

- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
  interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.

- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
  archives got adapted to the change.

4cad1a87df nitpicker: make framebuffer and input optional
Nitpicker used to unconditionally request a framebuffer and input
session. With the transition to the new capture/event session
interfaces, this built-in policy does no longer suffice.

This patch introduces the attributes 'request_framebuffer="yes"' and
'request_input="yes"' (with the default values shown) to nitpicker's
<config> node. If setting those attributes to "no", nitpicker won't
request a "Framebuffer" and "Input" session respectively.

795a817a33 nitpicker: remove dirty_rect state from view stack
In the presence of potentially multiple output back ends, this
dirty_rect state must be maintained individually per back end. Instead
of storing the dirty_rect as view-stack member, the view stack now calls
a new 'Damage::mark_as_damaged' interface, which allows nitpicker to
propagate this information to multiple back ends. Unfortunately, the
patch must remove the per-view dirty_rect state.

ef741ef80d Change pixel format to 32 bits per pixel
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.

The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.

e56dd15a4b vfs: extend <zero> fs to limit amount of zeros
Setting the 'size' attribute will restrict a reader to consume
0s up to the specified amount per VFS handle. The attribute is
parsed as 'Number_of_bytes', which will limit the amount to the
maximum of the addressable memory on the platform.

This addition comes in handy when needing to provide a synthetic
empty file with a fixed size.

103ae9df4a block_tester: limit batching in sequential test
So far the condition whether to spawn a new job or not depended on
the amount of data already processed. This could lead to spawning
more jobs than necessary if batching is used and in return could
result in creating invalid requests in case the tested block session
is not large enough.

In addition to checking the amount of data the test now stores the
number of the last block and checks if the current request is in
range. This properly limits the total amount of requests.

0de54cddaa gdb_monitor: hide exceptions during create_thread
This patch is a workaround for the missing implementation of
'Pd_session::transfer_quota' interface by the GDB monitor's PD service.
The missing implementation becomes problematic with the changes of #3750
that enabled the cap-quota accounting for core's CPU service.

In regular scenarios without the GDB monitor, the client of
'Cpu_session::create_thread' deals with Out_of_caps or Out_of_ram by
upgrading the CPU session's cap and RAM quotas. This, in turn, results
in a sequence of 'transfer_quota' operations at the parent.

Since GDB monitor implements a custom PD service, these 'transfer_quota'
calls try to transfer quota between sessions provided by core and those
provided by the GDB monitor. This does of course not work. To fix this
issue, the GDB monitor needs a major overhaul. This patch side-steps
the problem by handing Out_of_caps and Out_of_ram from the debuging
target.

42fddf8390 Cleanup shared-object support mechanics
The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.

As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.

64bc008c3a core: fix inconsistent state after failed 'trace'
This patch fixes the handling of the corner case where the allocation of
a trace buffer throws 'Out_of_caps' or 'Out_of_ram'. Under this
circumstance, the '_buffer' would still be flagged with the 'size',
which prevented any subsequent allocation attempt. This patch fixes the
problem by initializing the 'size' after the potentially throwing
allocation.

The problem triggered with the test-trace_logger after the accounting of
core's TRACE service (replacing the 'Allocator_guard' by
'Constrained_ram_allocator') became more accurate.

9d67f9fc8e Remove Allocator_guard
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.

The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.

The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.

f0c4fc1e22 sandbox: defer requests for upcoming server
The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.

- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
  does not exist (yet)

Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.

The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.

132569d12b base-linux: socket descriptor caps for RPC
On Linux, Genode used to represent each RPC object by a socket
descriptor of the receiving thread (entrypoint) and a globally-unique
value that identifies the object. Because the latter was transferred as
plain message payload, clients had to be trusted to not forge the
values. For this reason, Linux could not be considered as a productive
Genode base platform but remained merely a development vehicle.

This patch changes the RPC mechanism such that each RPC object is
represented by a dedicated socket pair. Entrypoints wait on a set of
the local ends of the socket pairs of all RPC objects managed by the
respective entrypoint. The epoll kernel interface is used as the
underlying mechanism to wait for a set of socket descriptors at the
server side.

When delegating a capability, the remote end of the socket pair is
transferred to the recipient along with a plaintext copy of the
socket-descriptor value of the local end. The latter value serves as a
hint for re-identifiying a capability whenever it is delegated back to
its origin. Note that the client is not trusted to preserve this
information. The integrity of the hint value is protected by comparing
the inode values of incoming and already present capablities at the
originating site (whenever the capability is invoked or presented to the
owner of the RPC object).

The new mechanism effectively equips base-linux with Genode's capablity
model as described in the Chapter 3 of the Genode Foundations book.
That said, the sandboxing of components cannot be assumed at this point
because each component has still direct access to the Linux system-call
interface.

This patch is based on the extensive exploration work conducted by
Stefan Thoeni who strongly motivated the inclusion of this feature into
Genode.

150d143755 os: use Request_stream API in NVMe driver
As a result of the API change the memory handling could be simplified.
Since the Block session dataspace is now directly used for DMA, we
actually only have to provide the memory for setting up PRP lists for
large requests (for the moment more than 8 KiB of data).

As we limit the maximum data transfer length to 2 MiB, we get by with
just a page per request. Those memory is allocated beforehand for the
maximum number of I/O requests, which got bumbed to 512 entries. Since
not all NVMe controllers support such large a maximum data transfer
length and this many entries, especially older ones, the values are
capped according to the properties of the controller during
initialization. (The memory demands of the component are around 3 MiB
due to setting up for the common case, even if a particular controller
is only able to make use of less.)

(Although there are controllers whose maximum memory page size is more
than 4K, the driver is hardcoded to solely use 4K pages.)

In addition to those changes, the driver now supports the 'SYNC' and
'TRIM' operations of the Block session by using the NVMe 'FLUSH' and
'WRITE_ZEROS' commands.

e3bc77c386 Remove noux from SSH exec terminal
This patch replaces the former Noux instance by a sub init that hosts
the combination of VFS + fs_rom + bash. If bash exits, the whole sub
init exits, which implicitly tears down the terminal session used by the

2912096f6e vfs: distinguish NO_PERM from NO_ENTRY in unlink
This patch changes the 'Single_file_system' to return NO_PERM only if
the to-be-unlinked file corresponds to the single file. This way, a
<rom> co-mounted with a <ram> file-system does not stand in the way of
unlinking files from the <ram>. The concrete symptom occurred the
following scenario:

  <vfs>
    <dir name="home">
      <ram/>
      <rom name="..."/>
    </dir>
  </vfs>

The following sequence of commands wrongly resulted in "Operation not
permitted":

 $ mkdir -p /home/a/b/c
 $ rm -f /home/a/b/c/d

In this case, rm should not fail (unlink should return ENOENT)

ba55409c86 nic_router: keep dyn IP when updating domain obj
When updating the domain object of interfaces that stay with the same domain
during a reconfiguration, until now, the normal "detach raw" function was used.
This caused the old domain object to discard a dynamic IP config as all
interfaces detached. This caused interfaces also to discard network links
established with the old configuration although it wasn't necessary. Thus, now
we use a dedicated "detach" in case that an interface actually stays with its
domain. This new "detach" doesn't decrease the interface counter of the domain,
so, it'll not discard its dynamic IP config. If, however, during a
reconfiguration, there's no interface calling this function (all interfaces
move to another or no domain), the dynamic IP config is still discarded as
expected.

c1b6000248 nic_router: don't call DHCP client on requests
Until now, the DHCP client was called also for DHCP requests when an interface
had a domain but yet no IP config. Now, an interface distinguishes between DHCP
requests and replies first and then accordingly calls the DHCP server or the
DHCP client if they're available. This also prevents that the DHCP client has
to handle packet headers other than that of DHCP.

0a468a07a7 nic_router: fix lifetime of DHCP clients
Let the DHCP client be a constructible member of Interface that is constructed
only as long as the interface is attached to a domain with a dynamic IP config.
This prevents DHCP client timeouts from a period with dynamic IP config to
trigger after a reconfiguration to a static IP config. Furthermore, handle
DHCP-reply packets at an interface only when the DHCP client its constructed.
Otherwise drop such packets.

6d48b5484d hw: correct the ARM cache maintainance operations
This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:

* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
  reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
  page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
  added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance

In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:

* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction

60f5d0e34a gems/animated_geometry.h: increase value range
The value range supported by the 'Animated_rect' utility is constrained
to 2^11 by the used 32-bit integer type. The interpolation is performed
on fixpoint numbers with a fractional precision of 10 bits. The
non-linear interpolation as performed by the 'Lazy_value' utility
involves squaring the values. Hence, the interpolated integral values
must not exceed 2^11 (2*11 bits for the square plus 10 bit for the
fractional part require 32 bits). This range is too small for
high-resolution displays. Hence this patch replaces the 32-bit integer
type by a 64-bit integer type.

3a2895af19 wm: reset pointer position on leave event
The wm used to remember the last pointer position when observing a leave
event. With such a stale pointer position, the wm would eventually
wrongly create an artifical motion event when a supposedly hovered
window changes its position (during an animated move). This can lead to
the propagation of the stale pointer position to the wm client, which,
in turn, may interpret the outdated position (e.g., the menu view would
report a wrong hover state).

This patch removes the stale state by resetting the '_pointer_pos' when
observing a leave event.

9d7a58f6a7 dde_bsd: update audio driver to OpenBSD 6.6
Besides updating to a newer version the update adds the AC97 ICH driver
and addresses shortcomings with the OpenBSD emulation environment:

* Fix 'delay(9)' implementation - it now properly uses 'us' as unit,
  which results on faster initialization of the drivers.

* Fix LOG output that got lost during commit f23579532 and bring over
  the printf implementation from dde_linux for more structured
  printing.

* As said the driver now recognizes the AUICH devices. So far it was
  only tested with the device model in VirtualBox where it produces
  stuttering audio, investigating the cause is still ongoing.

<rom> node can still be useful if it's dynamic. E.g., it can be watched.
Hence, the corner case of an invalid ROM dataspace should be gracefully
handled instead of causing an abort.

c67a0d3dd8 os/dynamic_rom_session.h: support Xml_generator
This patch adds a special variant of a 'Content_producer' called

78c0e5f6b6 New sandbox library extracted from init component
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.

The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.

f82e7df0ba os/buffered_xml.h: support for generating XML
This patch extends the 'Buffered_xml' utility with a new constructor
that fills the buffer with the output of an 'Xml_generator'. It thereby
presents an easy way to generate XML to be consumed locally.

The patch also add a deprecation mark to the original 'xml' accessor
because copying 'Xml_node' objects (here as return value) is dangerous.
The new 'with_xml_node' method should instead be used to access the XML
content stored in the buffer.

cd92b32622 libc: close all open FDs on exit
This is important to issue sync requests for written-to files.

As the closing must be performed by an atexit handler, it happens at a
time _after_ libc plugins are destructed. Consequently an FD allocated
by such a plugin results in a close error, which in turn, does not
destruct the FD. We ultimatedly end up in an infinte loop of
re-attempting the close. For this reason, the patch changes 'close' to
be robust against this special case.

This is generally not a problem because libc plugins are phased out.
However, at present, the libc_noux plugin is still important. With the
changed 'close' in place, there occurred an error message "Error: close:
close not implemented" at the exit of each noux program. This patch
removes the error printing from the libc plugin mechansim to avoid this
noise. The error messages are not important anyway because the
deprecation of the libc plugin interface.

3897ddea03 cxx: don't rely on global ctors
This patch removes the global variable 'blocker', which was expected to
be constructed via the global ctors. This mechanism, however, is not
used for the base library, which resulted in the use of an unconstructed
object. Specifically, the spinlock of the 'Lock' of the 'Registry'
defaulted to the LOCKED state (value 0), which eventually would lead to
a deadlock in the contention case of the cxa guard.

I could observe this deadlock once on during the component startup on
base-linux during the construction of the 'startup_lock'.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly initializing the registry
of blockers via an init function.

b7fbe65ff2 libc: fork/execve improvements
- Close FDs marked with the close-on-execve flag
  (needed for 'make', which sets the flag for the pipe-in
  FD of forked children)
- Update binary name on execve to use as ROM for subsequent fork
- Enable vfork as an alias for fork (needed by make)
- Purge line buffers for output streams during execve because they
  may be allocated at the allocation heap, which does not survive
  the execve call.
- Consider short-lived processes that may exit while the parent still
  blocks in the fork call.

With these changes, the website generator of genodians.org works without
the need for the Noux runtime.

6b6915e304 ttf_font: fix artifacts with large font sizes
This patch is a follow-up fix for "ttf_font: prevent out-of-bounds
access", which produced sporadic single-pixel artifacts with large font
sizes, e.g., with the monospaced font set to 24px in Sculpt.

The artifacts occurred only for some horizontal sub-pixel positions, in
combination with the font cache, and after the rendering of '>'
characters. They were ultimately caused by the missed clearning of the
first pixel of a glyph where x0 is 1 (e.g., the character 'd'). In this
case, a pixel from the previously evicted cache entry (the '>') shined
through. The patch fixes the problem by clearing the glyph starting from
the first, not the x0's, pixel.

3655ea77a3 depot_autopilot: rework log matching
* The log history of a test is stored as a whole for the lifetime of the test.
* Matching of the log history against log patterns is done correctly now
  (previously, a pattern like "AAB" on an input like "AAAB" wouldn't have
  triggered).
* Use memcmp, memcpy, memmove instead of the former character-wise operations.
* Sanitizing of log input and log patterns now works more generic through the
  new Filter class for all replacements/removals.
* Sanitizing is done as soon as a string is available and remains for the
  lifetime of the test.
* Sanitizing doesn't interfer with the matching algorithm.
* Decomposing into small clearly named functions.

4622ddb46f nitpicker: add version attribute in clicked report
This patch addresses a corner case where the nitpicker focus is not
solely defined by mouse clicks or (exclusively) by a window manager, but
by a policy component that takes mouse clicks and other policy (e.g.,
a lock screen) into account. It ensures that each click that follows a
focus change (however initiated) results in a new "clicked" report even
when the report looks the same. To allow the policy component to
uniquely distiguish subsequent reports, the report features a new
'version' attribute.

c51b4b5742 New VFS plugin for emulating POSIX pipes
Add a new plugin for creating pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It is
intended to replace the libc_pipe plugin, one of the last remaining libc
plugins.

In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, this plugin defers cross-handle
notification until I/O signal handling rather than block and unblock
readers using a semaphore. This is a performance regression in the case
of multiple threads blocking on a pipe, but shall be an intermediate
mechanism pending renovations within the libc VFS and threading layers.
As a side effect, threads blocked on a pipe might not be resumed until
the main thread suspends and dispatches I/O signals.

The "test-libc_pipe" test has been adjusted to use the VFS pipe plugin
and tests both local pipes and pipes hosted remotely in the VFS server.

interface changes) by Norman Feske.

9b7915facb vfs server: redesigned internal control flow
This patch reworks the VFS server to become easier to understand.

- The packet-stream handling is hidden from the node types.

- Introduced the notion of a "job" as an abstraction from the raw packet
  stream.

- The processing of requests is split into three phases:
  (1) accepting new jobs,
  (2) the execution of jobs, and
  (3) the delivery of acknowledgements.

- There is no longer a global fifo of pending nodes. Instead, each
  session has a fifo of "active" nodes, which are nodes that wait
  for the completion of jobs.

- The Io_node type no longer uses virtual functions as hooks for
  the derrived classes. Instead, it provides a number of utility
  functions.

- The control flow of the 'Io_progress_handler' is now the same as
  for the session-local packet-stream handler.

- Removed dependency from 'file_system/node.h', which is a relic
  from the ram_fs.

While reworking the code, the following semantic changes were made
additionally.

- The handling of SEEK_TAIL no longer overwrites the file content at the
  end of the file.

- Removed diagnostic message at session-creation time.

- Write loop for continuous files

23d21d77e9 vfs/terminal: detect user interrupts (control-c)
This patch equips the VFS terminal file system with the ability to
detect user interrupts in the incoming data stream, and propagate this
information via the new pseudo file '.terminal/interrupts'. Each time,
the user presses control-c in the terminal, the value stored in this
pseudo file is increased. Thereby, a VFS client can watch this file to
get notified about the occurrences of user interrupts.

60d37f690c packet_stream_*: fix missing dissolve on exception
When the construction of a member of Packet_stream_*::Rpc_object after
the _cap member threw an exception, the object was not dissolved from
the entrypoint although the Rpc_object vanished at this point. This was
because the call to 'manage()' happened in the initializer list (for the
_cap member instantiation). The destruction of the _cap member then did
not dissolve the object.

This first fix moves the call to 'manage()' into the constructor body
after the instantiation of all other members. A more sophisticated fix
would use some kind of 'Managed_object' life-time guard that manages an
object on construction and dissolves on destruction.

7ac32ea60c libc: support for ioctls via ioctl directory
This patch introduces a new scheme of handling ioctl operations that
maps ioctls to pseudo-file accesses, similar to how the libc maps socket
calls to socket-fs operations.

A device file can be accompanied with a (hidden) directory that is named
after the device file and hosts pseudo files for triggering the various
device operations. For example, for accessing a terminal, the directory
structure looks like this:

  /dev/terminal
  /dev/.terminal/info

The 'info' file contains device information in XML format. The type of
the XML node corresponds to the device type. E.g., If the libc receives
a 'TIOCGWINSZ' ioctl for /dev/terminal, it reads the content of
/dev/.terminal/info to obtain the terminal-size information. In this
case, the 'info' file looks as follows:

  <terminal rows="25" columns="80/>

Following this scheme, VFS plugins can support ioctl operations by
providing an ioctl directory in addition to the actual device file.

Internally, the mechanism uses the 'os/vfs.h' API to access pseudo
files. Hence, we need to propagate the Vfs::Env to 'vfs_plugin.cc' to
create an instance of a 'Directory' for the root for the VFS.

5ab1505d43 file system: enhanced file status info
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.

eefe91ee41 depot_download_manager: no mtime update in extract
With the added modification-time support in the libc, the extract tool
requires a timer session, which is not plausible for the purpose of the
program.

This behavior stems from the fact that the libc implicitly writes the
mtime when closing a written file. For this update, it implicitly calls
'clock_gettime', which in turn initializes the timer subsystem within
the libc (creating a timer session).

For the extract tool, the implicitly updated mtime is useless because
the extract tool overwrites this modification time with the mtime stored
in the archive anyway. However, the dependency from a timer service
remains.

This patch explicitly disables the libc's implicit updating of the
file-modification when closing a written file.

94b63924ed noux: add time modification
... and set initial time by using RTC session.

Up to now Noux used a monotic clock whose initial start value always
was '0' (which correlates to the start of the UNIX epoch) to provide
a notion of time. In addition it is now possible to use the RTC
session to set the initial value for use cases where having a proper
real-world time matters.

To use the RTC session the 'rtc' attribute of the '<config>' node
must be set to 'yes'. Thereby the session becomes a mandatory

697d496093 ldso: don't strip leading path from ROM name
This patch removes ldso's builtin policy of removing any path elements
prepending the ROM module name. Instead, the ROM name is used as is.

/bin/bash vs. /usr/local/bin/bash).

648bcd1505 libc: unify use of namespaces
This patch unifies the patterns of using the 'Genode' and 'Libc'
namespaces.

Types defined in the 'internal/' headers reside in the 'Libc'
namespace. The code in the headers does not need to use the
'Libc::' prefix.

Compilation units import the 'Libc' namespace after the definition of
local types. Local types reside in the 'Libc' namespace (and should
eventually move to an 'internal/' header).

Since the 'Libc' namespace imports the 'Genode' namespace, there is
no need to use the 'Genode::' prefix. Consequently, code in the
compilation units rarely need to qualify the 'Genode' or 'Libc'
namespaces.

There are a few cases where the 'Libc', the 'Genode', and the global
(libc) namespaces are ambigious. In these cases, an explicit
clarification is needed:

- 'Genode::Allocator' differs from 'Libc::Allocator'.
- 'Genode::Env' differs from 'Libc::Env'.
- Genode's string functions (strcmp, memcpy, strcpy) conflict
  with the names of the (global) libc functions.
- There exist both 'Genode::uint64_t' and the libc'c 'uint64_t'.

bf92232698 libc: split task.cc into multiple files
This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.

The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.

The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.

There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.

6894ced63b libc: execve
This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc.

The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the
loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc -
intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc
internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a
heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g.,
libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to
any memory object allocated from the malloc heap.

66d5359d75 ldso: heuristics for libs needed during execve
The allocation of regions within the linker area is normally left to the
best-fit 'Allocator_avl', which happens to populate the linker area
starting with the binary followed by all loaded libraried with no gaps
in between.

When replacing the binary during execve, however, we need to ensure that
the new binary does not conflict with any library that stays resident
during execve. This patch tweaks the linker's region allocation scheme
such that these libraries are placed at the end of the linker area.

fa48054959 ldso: Dynamic_linker::respawn mechanism
This patch extends the interface of the dynamic linker with the ability
to replace the running binary executable by another one. It is
designated for the implementation of execve. The interface consists of
two new functions.

'Dynamic_linker::keep' marks the specified shared object as unloadable.
This can be used to pin a set of libraries (i.e., the libc) within the
local address space while replacing the binary and other higher-level
libraries.

'Dynamic_linker::respawn' unloads the current binary, loads the one
specifed as first argument, and looks up the entry point symbol of the
new binary, which would be "main" for POSIX programs.

In addition to implementing the new interface, the patch adjusts the
linker at various places that previously assumed the binary to be
constant over runtime.

This patch enables the fork.run script to run on base-linux. It should
be regarded as an interim solution, however, because the randomization
performed by the Linux kernel may still - by chance - produce a
situation where one of the libc's malloc heap regions intersects with
another dataspace dynamically attached to the child.

The better solution would be to make the 'Region_map_mmap'
implementation not depend on the kernel's allocation policy by using a
locally implemented allocator.

65f75589e9 libc: configurable initial FDs
The libc already supports the configuration of 'stdin', 'stdout', and
'stderr' using '<libc>' config attributes. This patch equips the libc
with the additional ability to pre-initialize any other file descriptor.
A file descriptor is configured as follows:

<config>
  ...
  <libc ...>
    <fd id="3" path="/dev/log" writeable="yes" readable="no" seek="10"/>
    ...
  </libc>
</config>

Furthermore, this patch moves the FD initialization code from the VFS
plugin to the libc kernel initialization because opening the FDs
depends on 'malloc' ('strdup'), which should not be used at early
'Libc::Kernel' initialization time.

67a3c2ea4b sculpt: handle failures of usb_block_drv
This patch handles the situation where the usb_block_drv exits for any
reason, in particular when the driver fails to initialize the device. In
such cases, the usb_block_drv used to stay stale in the system,
effectively preventing the device from being passed to a VM. With the
patch, the USB storage device gets flagged as failed, the usb_block_drv
is removed from the runtime, and the condition is reflected at the user
interface.

This situation occurred on the attempt to access an iomega zip drive
with a version of the usb_block_drv without support for the START-STOP
command, but it may potentially also occur in other circumstances.

ce149397ec acpica: retrieve static battery info only once
On Fujitsu S936, evaluating the _BIF method on each battery-info update
successively increased the RAM usage, while  _BST (dynamic battery
status) and _STA (generic status) did not show this behavior. Therefore
this commit retrieves only dynamic information periodically (resp. on
SCI IRQ). Now, acpica hast static RAM usage in idle state for 24+ hours.

The root cause for the increased RAM usage is still shady. While it
could just be normal that it grows until a certain yet unknown limit,
there may also be memory leak in contrib code or some strange AML on the
designated notebook.

7e7eff0eb7 window layouter: reduce snap-back artifact
When resizing windows of clients that respond very slowly to resize
requests, the window's size sometimes snapped back to its original size
immediately after finishing the drag operation.

The problem was caused by the interplay of the layout rules (obtained
via the 'rules' ROM, generated by the 'rules' report) and the
temporary interactive state that occurs during drag operations.
The rules are updated only at the time of releasing the button to keep
the overhead while dragging the window low. However, when releasing the
mouse, the (now outdated) rules kicked back into effect, triggering
resize requests for the window to its old size.

The patch solves this problem by decoupling the dragged state of a
window from the physical release of the button. The button release
triggers a transition from a DRAGGING to a SETTLING state and programs
a timer. In the SETTLING state, the windows behave as in DRAGGING state,
giving the interactive geometry precedence over the rules-dictated
geometry. During this state, further responses of window-resize requests
may come in and are handled like dragging was still in progress. After a
timeout, however, the current window layout is conserved as a new rules
report and the state goes back to IDLE.

For clients that takes a very long time (in particular, VirtualBox when
resizing the desktop, which takes sometimes multiple seconds), the

dec2d897c3 themed_decorator: fix jumping windows
The decorator's detection of the hovered window element was inaccurate,
which resulted in "jumping" windows in some situations, ultimately
caused by a combination of three different mechanisms.

First, when moving the pointer into the area of a window, the decorator
would detect the hovering of the left border whenever the distance of
the pointer from the border was less than the half of the theme texture
(e.g., 64x64 pixels for the default theme). However, if the left border
margin is set to a small value (e.g., 1), there is an overlap of the
sensitive resize border area and the content. Hence, chances were quite
high that - when moving the pointer from the left into the window - the
hover report would contain the hovering of the left border.

Second, the window manager tries to hide pointer movements from the
decorator if possible. It informs the decorator of the pointer position
if any decoration is hovered or if a new window is hovered. But it does
not expose pointer movements within a window to the decorator. For this
reason, the decorator would not update the hover report as long as the
pointer stays within a once hovered window. In the situation described
above, the hover report would still contain the stale information about
the hovering of the left resize border.

Third, when the user clicks on the window, the decorator examines the
most recent hover report and - in the situation described above - finds
the left border hovered. Consequently, it initiates a window-drag
operation. While resizing the window with the left border, the window
layouter pins the right border of the window to its current position.
All window-size changes of the client will be applied towards the left
(dragged) border. In the case of the top view, which continuously
resizes the window by itself, the window would "jump". In reality, it
actually tries to respond an interactive resize operation. The window
layouter cannot guess that the client is not responding to window
layouter's resize request but is acting independently.

This patch fixes the jumping window problem for the case where the
pointer hovers the overlapping area of the resize border and the
content. However, when trying the to interactively resize the top window
via the bottom-left corner, the "jumping" can still be observed.

:GNU Privacy Guard:
The [https://gnupg.org/ - GNU Privacy Guard] (GNUPG) is the most widely
used Free-Software implementation of the OpenGPG standard. It comprises a
rich set of tools for encryption and key management. For many forthcoming
application scenarios of Genode such as package management and email
communication, GNUPG is crucial. Hence, it should be ported to Genode. Such
a port may leverage Genode's fine-grained component architecture to strongly
separate network-exposed functionality, the storage of key material, and the
cryptographic functions.

:Tiled window manager:
At Genode Labs, we pursue the goal to shape Genode into an general-purpose
operating system suitable for productive work. The feature set needed to
achieve this goal largely depends on the tools and applications daily used by
the Genode engineers. As one particularly important tool for being highly
productive, we identified a tiled user interface. Currently, all developers
at Genode Labs embrace either the Ion3 window manager or the tiled Terminator
terminal emulator. Hence, we desire to have a similar mode of user
interaction on Genode as well. The goal of this challenge is to identify the
most important usage patters and the implementation of a tiled GUI that
multiplexes the framebuffer into a set of tiled and tabbed virtual
framebuffers.
Related to this work, the low-level 'Framebuffer' and 'Input' interfaces
should be subject to a revision, for example for enabling the flexible change
of framebuffer sizes as needed by a tiled user interface.

Genode features a ports mechanism to cleanly integrate 3rd-party software.

:Native Open-Street-Maps (OSM) client:
When using Sculpt OS, we regularly need to spawn a fully fledged web
browser in a virtual machine for using OSM or Google maps. The goal
of this project would be a native component that makes maps functionality
directly available on Genode, alleviating the urge to reach for a SaaS
product. The work would include a review of existing OSM clients regarding
their feature sets and the feasibility of porting them to Genode.
Depending on the outcome of this review, an existing application could
be ported or a new component could be developed, e.g., leveraging Genode's
Qt support.

[https://openjdk.java.net/ - OpenJDK] is the reference implementation of the
Java programming language and hosts an enormous ecosystem of application
software. The goal of this line of work is the ability to run this
software directly on Genode. The centerpiece of OpenJDK is Hotspot - the
Java virtual machine implementation, which must be ported to Genode.
The initial port should suffice to execute simple example programs that
operate on textual input. Since Genode has the FreeBSD libc readily
available, OpenJDK's existing POSIX backends can be reused. The next step
is the creation of Genode-specific native classes that bridge the gap
between the Java world and Genode, in particular the glue code to

:Xlib compatibility:
Developments like Wayland notwithstanding, most application software on
GNU/Linux systems is built on top of the Xlib programming interface.
However, only a few parts of this wide interface are actually used today.
I.e., modern applications generally deal with pixel buffers instead of
relying on graphical drawing primitives of the X protocol. Hence, it seems
feasible to reimplement the most important parts of the Xlib interface to
target Genode's native GUI interfaces (nitpicker) directly. This would
allow us to port popular application software to Sculpt OS without
changing the application code.
:Bump-in-the-wire components for visualizing session interfaces:
Genode's session interfaces bear the potential for monitoring and
visualizing their use by plugging a graphical application
in-between any two components. For example, by intercepting block
requests issued by a block-session client to a block-device driver,
such a bump-in-the-wire component could visualize
the access patterns of a block device. Similar ideas could be pursued for
other session interfaces, like the audio-out (sound visualization) or NIC
session (live visualization of network communication).
The visualization of system behavior would offer valuable insights,
e.g., new opportunities for optimization. But more importantly, they
would be extremely fun to play with.

Even though the Linux version of Genode is primarily meant as a development

Linux process containers provide a mechanism to partition physical resources,
foremost CPU time, between Linux processes. This raises the interesting
question of whether this mechanism could be used for a proper implementation
of Genode's resource trading on Linux.

It is based on a shared-memory packet stream accompanied with asynchronous
data-flow signals. For real-time audio processing involving chains of Genode
components, streams of audio data must be carried at low latency, imposing
constraints to buffer sizes and the modes of operation of the audio mixer and
audio drivers. The goal of this project is to create a holistic design of the
whole chain of audio processing, taking thread-scheduling into account. A
particular challenge is the mixed output of real-time (small buffer, low
latency) and non-real-time (larger buffer to compensate jitter, higher
latency) audio sources.

Genode OS Framework release 20.08 | 2020-08-28
##############################################
| With Genode 20.08, the low-level GUI stack underwent a profound redesign,
| the Chromium web engine comes to life, the i.MX8 support covers clock and
| power management, and the CBE block encrypter becomes highly modular.
The most stunning feature of Genode 20.08 is most certainly the new ability
to host the Chromium web engine as native component in the form of the Falkon
web browser. This long-time project involved overcoming countless road
blocks along the way to the great benefit of Genode's users at large: building
bridges between 3rd-party build systems and Genode, covering seemingly obscure
corner cases of POSIX, solving instruction-cache invalidation issues on ARM -
just to name a few.
Under the hood, we took the release cycle as opportunity to tackle a major
surgery of the low-level GUI stack that we planned for more than two years.
The architectural change lays the groundwork for swapping out graphics and
input drivers on the fly without reboot. It also paves the ground for features
like screen capturing and remote desktop scenarios in a privacy-protecting
way.
On our mission of bringing the driver support for the 64-bit ARM-based i.MX8
SoC on par with our driver coverage on Intel PCs, the release introduces a
platform driver specifically for this SoC that covers clock and power
management. One step closer to using Sculpt OS on the MNT Reform laptop.
Furthermore, Genode's custom block encrypter called CBE received continuous
development. In particular, the cryptographic algorithm and trust anchor
have become pluggable modules. This will allow for tailoring the CBE to
custom products - like hardware trust anchors - without changing its
implementation.
These and many more improvements are covered in detail in the
[https:/documentation/release-notes/20.08 - release documentation of version 20.08...]
Genode OS Framework release 20.05 | 2020-05-28
##############################################
| Version 20.05 wraps up the consolidation of Noux with the C runtime,
| advances the device-driver infrastructure and virtualization support on ARM,
| reaches feature-completion of our block encryptor, and leverages seccomp for
| sandboxing components on top of Linux.
It has become almost a tradition to dedicate the spring release to topics
under the hood of the Genode OS framework, taking the time for careful
consolidation, and architectural improvements.
On the latter account, the Linux version gained an architectural revamp of its
inter-component communication model, leveraging the combination of the
seccomp and epoll kernel mechanisms to enable Genode's capability-based
security concept on this kernel. The new version applies strict sandboxing
to each component individually. In particular, the host file system is
shielded from Genode components and Genode's least-privilege access-control
scheme comes into effect.
As the second prominent architectural topic, the release features new
device-driver infrastructure for the ARM universe along with a unified
version of the formerly distinct virtual machine monitors for ARMv7 and
ARMv8. These are important steps to bring Genode on ARM to parity with the
x86 version.
Further highlights of the release are the first feature-complete version
of our custom block-encryption component, the improved management of CPU
affinities on x86, and new tracing utilities. Last but not least, the
release is accompanied with an updated version of the Genode Foundations
book, reflecting the changes of the framework since one year ago.

Sculpt OS release 20.02 | 2020-03-10
####################################
| Version 20.02 of the Sculpt operating system revisits the administrative
| user interface for a more intuitive and logical user experience.
With the release of Sculpt version 20.02, we follow our
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap's] mission to make Sculpt OS
easier to approach. In particular, we
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2020-01-06-pending-sculpt-ui - identified] the
reliance on a command-line interface as a potential barrier of entry. As
Sculpt OS is not a Unix-like system, it should not require any Unix know-how
from the user. To relieve users from this burden, Sculpt 20.02 introduces
a custom graphical file browser and editor that can be used for interactively
inspecting and tweaking the state of the system. The traditional command-line
interface is still present as a fallback for advanced tasks though.
The updated [https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-20-02 - manual]
goes into detail about the use of the new system.
Thanks to the work of seasoned Genode developers, many software packages are
already available for the new version. These include virtual machine monitors
like VirtualBox, performance-monitoring tools, GUI components, Genode's custom
Unix runtime, and several applications and games. In particular, the software
depots offered by alex-ab, cnuke, skalk are worth exploring.
The ready-to-use system image for version 20.02 can be obtained from the

Genode OS Framework release 20.02 | 2020-02-28
##############################################
| With version 20.02, Genode makes Sculpt OS fit for running on i.MX 64-bit
| ARM hardware, optimizes the performance throughout the entire software stack,
| and takes the next evolutionary step of the user-facing side of Sculpt OS.
Without any doubt, Sculpt OS has been the driving motivation behind most
working topics featured by the new release. One particularly exciting line
of work is the enabling of Sculpt on i.MX-based 64-bit ARM hardware, which
touched the framework on all levels, from the boot loader, over the kernel,
device drivers, libraries, system management, up to the application level.
The work goes as far as supporting Sculpt OS as a hypervisor platform for
hosting Linux in a virtual machine.
As a second Sculpt-related development, we strive to make the user-visible
side of the operating system better approachable and more logical. With this
background, the current release comes with a profound redesign of the
administrative user interface of Sculpt OS. An updated downloadable system
image will follow soon.
Also related to Sculpt are an updated audio driver based on OpenBSD 6.6,
the support of virtual desktops, and performance optimization of the
Seoul virtual machine monitor on x86 hardware.
Regarding the framework API, the release introduces a new library for
building multi-component applications. It aims to bring the benefits of
Genode's unique security architecture from the operating-system level to the
application level.
These topics are only the tip of the iceberg. For the complete picture,

Road Map for 2020 | 2020-01-20
##############################
| In 2019, we will be concerned about dwarfing the barrier of entry into
| the Genode world.
Following the last year's leitmotif of "bridging worlds", we turn our
attention to the removal of the hurdles faced by aspiring developers and
users. During the annual road-map
[https://lists.genode.org/pipermail/users/2019-December/006987.html - discussion]
on our mailing list, we identified four tangible approaches towards that
goal. First, making Sculpt OS more user friendly. Second, reinforcing trust in
Genode by fostering the framework's high quality. Third, making the tooling
around Genode a joy to use. And finally, the illustration of Genode's
versatility in the form practical use cases.
Besides this overall theme, we plan to continue our commitment to the
NXP i.MX SoC family, revisit Genode's low-latency audio support, and
extend the cultivation of Ada/SPARK within (and on top of) Genode.
More background information about the new road map and a rough schedule are
presented at our official [https:/about/road-map - road-map page].
Genode OS Framework release 19.11 | 2019-11-28
##############################################
| Following this year's theme of "bridging worlds", Genode 19.11 adds the
| ability to use popular build tools like CMake for application development,
| introduces a new virtual-machine monitor for 64-bit ARM, and enhances
| POSIX compatibility. As another highlight, it features the first version
| of our custom block-device encrypter.
Block-device encryption is a feature often requested by users of our Sculpt OS.
Until now, we deliberately left this topic unaddressed because we felt that a
profound answer was beyond our expertise. However, during the past year, we
dived deep into it. The result is the prototype for a new block encrypter that
encrypts data but also protects integrity and freshness. For us, the
implementation of the encrypter is especially intriguing because - with about
7000 lines of code - it is Genode's first non-trivial component written in the
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language) - SPARK]
programming language.
The second major addition is a new virtual machine monitor (VMM) for 64-bit
ARM platforms such as the NXP i.MX8. It leverages the
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/arm_virtualization - proof of concept]
we developed in 2015 for ARMv7, which we pursued as a technology exploration.
In contrast, our aspiration with the new VMM is a product-quality solution.
In our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] for 2019, we stated
the "bridging of worlds" as our overall theme for this year. On that account,
the current release moves the project forward on two levels. First, by
successively increasing the scope of POSIX compatibility, we reduce the
friction when porting existing application software to Genode. We managed
to bridge several gaps in our POSIX support that we considered as impossible
to cover some years ago. In particular, we identified ways to emulate certain
POSIX signals, ioctl calls, and fork/execve semantics. This way, popular
software such as bash, coreutils, or Vim can now be executed as regular
Genode components with no additional runtime environment (like Noux or a VMM)
required.
At a higher level, the current release introduces new tooling especially
geared at the development and porting of application software. Compared to
Genode's regular development tools, which were designed for whole-system
development, the new tool called Goa relieves the developer from the
complexity of Genode's custom build system and instead promotes the use of
popular commodity solutions like CMake.
These and more topics are described in the

Genode OS Framework release 19.08 | 2019-08-28
##############################################
| Genode 19.08 puts emphasis on practical concerns ranging from
| keyboard layouts, over system-time management, to remote system
| administration. It also continues our commitment to the 64-bit ARM
| i.MX8 SoC, comes with Qt5 version 5.13, and improves POSIX compatibility.
The summer release of Genode addresses a variety of topics when using Genode
and Sculpt OS in practice. The confrontation with the real world prompted us
to develop new concepts for managing system time, keyboards layouts, and
copy-and-paste. For using Sculpt OS on the road, a new application VM for
accessing captive portals smoothes the experience of connecting to public WiFi
networks.
Besides the practical focus, the new release continues our commitment to the
64-bit ARM i.MX8 platform through new kernel support, device drivers, and test
coverage. Further topics include SMBIOS support for commodity PC hardware, a
new tracing tool, enhanced POSIX compatibility, and a major update of Qt5 to
version 5.13.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 19.08
===============================================
Genode Labs
The stated theme of this year's [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map]
is "bridging worlds", which expresses our ambition to smoothen the practical
use of Genode-based systems such as Sculpt OS. The current release pays
tribute to this ambition by addressing a great number of practical concerns:
How to accommodate the staggering variety of keyboard layouts out there?
(Section [Flexible keyboard layouts])
How can the system gracefully respond when confronted with exotic USB devices?
(Section [Storage-stack improvements])
How to set the system time from within the system? How does SNTP fit in here?
(Section [General system time concept])
How to approach the remote administration of the system?
(Section [Enhanced SSH terminal])
How to copy and paste text securely between mutually distrusting subsystems?
(Section [Clipboard])
Or how to overcome the captive portal of a Hotel WiFi with Sculpt OS?
(Section [Disposable VM for handling captive portals])
By providing answers to those questions, we believe to make Genode - and Sculpt
OS in particular - generally more useful.
As another take on "bridging worlds", we continue our effort to bring the rich
Sculpt OS software stack to the 64-bit ARM world, in particular to our most
loved SoC family, namely NXP i.MX. Section [64-bit ARM and NXP i.MX8] reports
on our progress in this direction.
Under the hood, there are a few exciting developments that will greatly reduce
the effort of running existing software on Genode. In particular, Genode's
(entirely optional) C runtime has gained the ability to emulate the
traditional execve and fork mechanisms.
(Section [Consolidation of the C runtime and Noux]) This will eventually
alleviate the need for our present noux runtime environment to the benefits of
better performance and increased flexibility.
Further highlights of Genode 19.08 are a major update of Qt5 to version 5.13
(Section [Updated Qt5]) and the continuation of our kernel-agnostic
virtualization story (Section [Virtualization]).
Flexible keyboard layouts
#########################
Genode is used worldwide in a multilingual context beyond Germany and common
technical realms of English. Therefore, we had to address localized
keyboard-input handling for quite some time now and introduced the
_input-filter_ component in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Input-event_filter - 17.02].
The component merges input streams and applies several forms of input
transformations, in particular the application of keyboard layouts to
supplement the input-event stream with character events.
But as we are by no means localization experts, our solution, while performing
a solid job for selected layouts, also had some quirks and rough edges when it
came to French or even Swiss German. First, our oversimplified notion of
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_Lock - Caps Lock] as _just a pressed Shift_
_key_ is plain wrong but part of all our character-generator configurations.
We just missed this drawback because none of our developers uses Caps Lock
regularly. Further, US English and Germany layouts work very well without
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key - dead keys], but crossing any German
border (except the Austrian) is impossible without support for key sequences
composing special characters. The French keyboard layout in Genode tried to
alleviate the lack of compose sequences by adding an additional Circumflex
modifier and character mapping, which unfortunately is not standard.
[image keyboard_stack]
Beginning at this state of affairs, we researched common practice in
international keyboard-input handling, sought a quasi-standard source for
layout configurations, and addressed the drawbacks mentioned before. During
our research we found out that no current implementation is void of critique
and, therefore, decided to look more into X11/XKB as our open-source
quasi-standard solution, but always had an eye on the proprietary world.
The handling of key events in X11/XKB happens on three layers.
:Key codes: On the key-code layer, the device driver programs the
keyboard and generates a stream of key-code (i.e., scan-code)
events, which represent the physical location of the actual key on
the keyboard.
:Key symbols: These key codes are mapped to key symbols, which
represent the label imprinted on the key. So, the key code producing
US English _Q_ (QWERTY keyboard) generates _A_ on a French keyboard
(AZERTY). Modifiers like Shift, AltGr, and Caps Lock are included in
the key-symbol mapping. Additionally, some layouts map key codes to
dead key symbols, which start the before-mentioned compose
sequences. Key repeat is also implemented as key-symbol repeat
actually.
:Characters: On top of this stack, the key symbols are mapped to
characters represented as Unicode codepoints or UTF-8 strings.
The procedure obviously includes key symbols that have no character
representation (e.g. Control and Alt). Key symbols forming a valid compose
sequence generate characters on this level (e.g., dead-key circumflex plus
e generates ê).
We limited our research to Western keyboard-input handling and only had a
blink into the direction of Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) and advanced input
methods (IM). This simplification is supported by the fact that CJK can also
be based on the mechanisms mentioned with some limitations only. Nevertheless,
we do not expect to never touch this topic again.
After doing our homework of keyboard-input handling, we worked on squeezing
all available layout information out of X11/XKB, which resulted in a small
tool residing in _tool/xkb2ifcfg_. For those wondering, the name is just a
silly acronym for _XKB to input-filter_ _configuration_ that pays tribute to
the boringness of this task. After building the tool by a run of 'make' in the
tool path, it can be used as follows. Please make sure you have libxkbcommon
development packages installed beforehand.
! xkb2ifcfg generate <layout> <variant> <locale>
!
! xkb2ifcfg generate us euro en_US.UTF-8
! xkb2ifcfg generate de nodeadkeys de_DE.UTF-8
If the parameter combination is available, xkb2ifcfg prints a input-filer
chargen configuration for the selected layout to standard output. Valid
'layout' and 'variant' options can be figured out from the LAYOUTS section in
'man 7 xkeyboard-config', where 'variant' strings are depicted in parentheses
after the layout (e.g., 'us(euro)'). The 'locale' option has the standard
locale syntax (see /usr/share/i18n/locales). The tool needs all three
parameters to gather the correct key-map and compose-sequence information. The
generated chargen configurations include '<map>' and '<key>' nodes
corresponding to significant modifier states and '<sequence>' nodes (described
later). For simplicity of the generator, the '<key>' nodes always use the
'code="..."' attribute, but also have a comment with the UTF-8 character
appended.
! <key name="KEY_MINUS" code="0x00df"/> <!-- ß -->
Last, we addressed the improvement of the input-filter character generator and
the actual chargen configuration files in Genode. Therefore, we specified the
modifier configuration assumed by the standard chargen files as '<mod1>'
corresponds to Shift, '<mod2>' to Control, '<mod3>' to AltGr, and '<mod4>' to
Caps Lock.
! <mod1> <key name="KEY_LEFTSHIFT"/> <key name="KEY_RIGHTSHIFT"/> </mod1>
! <mod2> <key name="KEY_LEFTCTRL"/> <key name="KEY_RIGHTCTRL"/> </mod2>
! <mod3> <key name="KEY_RIGHTALT"/> </mod3> <!-- AltGr -->
! <mod4> <rom name="capslock"/> </mod4>
As outlined above, the '<key>' nodes generated by xkb2ifcfg always use the
'code' attribute for the Unicode codepoint. Because of this and because UTF-8
also refers to codepoints, we deprecated the 'b0/b1/b2/b3' attributes for
character definition with this release.
The chargen is also extended by the '<sequence>' configuration node. A
sequence node permits the definition of dead-key/composing character
sequences. With such sequences, the character is not generated instantly on
key press but only after the sequence is completed. If an unfinished sequence
can't be completed due to an unmatched character, the sequence is aborted and
no character is generated. We support sequences of up to four characters at
the moment.
For example, the French AZERTY
[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdfr.html - keyboard layout]
has a dead key for Circumflex Accent _^_ right of the _P_ key (which is
bracket left _[_ on US keyboards). When Circumflex is pressed no visible
character should be generated instantly but the accent must be combined with a
follow-up character (e.g., Circumflex plus _a_ generates _â_).
Dead keys can be defined in the '<key>' nodes of any '<map>' by using
codepoints not used for direct output, for example, Combining Diacritical
Marks beginning at U+0300. The French Circumflex example can be configured
like follows.
! <mod1>
! <key name="KEY_LEFTSHIFT"/> <key name="KEY_RIGHTSHIFT"/>
! </mod1>
! <map>
! <key name="KEY_Q" code="0x0061"/> <!-- a -->
! <key name="KEY_LEFTBRACE" code="0x0302"/> <!-- dead_circumflex -->
! </map>
! <map mod1="true">
! <key name="KEY_Q" code="0x0041"/> <!-- A -->
! </map>
! <sequence first="0x0302" second="0x0061" code="0x00e2"/> <!-- â -->
! <sequence first="0x0302" second="0x0041" code="0x00c2"/> <!-- Â -->
Fortunately, the configuration is automatically generated by xkb2ifcfg, but
admittedly quite extensive. Therefore, we manually amended the chargen
configurations before adding them to Genode, which also gave us the chance to
apply some adjustments like follows for AltGr in Swiss German.
! <map mod1="false" mod2="false" mod3="true" mod4="false">
! <key name="KEY_1" code="0x00a6"/> <!-- ¦ (*) -->
! <key name="KEY_4" code="0x00b0"/> <!-- ° (*) -->
! <key name="KEY_5" code="0x00a7"/> <!-- § (*) -->
! </map>
Beside the advanced input methods mentioned before, there are still loose ends
we are going to address in the upcoming releases. For example, the current key
handling in our Qt5 back end maps localized key symbols incorrectly (think
AZERTY vs. QWERTY) in combination with shortcuts like Ctrl-A.
64-bit ARM and NXP i.MX8
########################
64-bit ARM support in our custom base-hw kernel
-----------------------------------------------
By introducing rudimentary Raspberry Pi 3 support on top of the Fiasco.OC
kernel in the previous release, the first ARM 64-bit support has entered the
Genode OS framework. We continued pursuing the ARM 64-bit path and introduce
support for Raspberry Pi 3 as well as the i.MX8 evaluation kit (EVK), this
time using our own base-hw kernel.
Noteworthy additions in the base-hw kernel are support for the AARCH64 system
level architecture, and the use of the modern GIC v3 interrupt controller on
top of the i.MX8 EVK board. In comparison to the GICv2, GICv3 adds support for
more than eight CPUs, more than 1020 interrupt IDs, and offers fast register
access to the CPU interface, instead of memory-mapped I/O access. Minor
changes had to be made to the page-table implementation of ARMv7 with Large
Physical Address Extension (LPAE) to re-use it for ARMv8. Moreover, the
internal kernel API for TLB maintenance needed to be changed slightly for all
ARM platforms.
We expanded our regular testing infrastructure with two AARCH64 platforms,
namely Raspberry Pi 3 via Qemu and the NXP i.MX8 EVK board as physical
hardware. Both platforms are driven with a single CPU core only at the moment.
Network driver for i.MX7 and i.MX8
----------------------------------
We updated the 'fec' network driver to version 4.16.3, which adds support for
i.MX7 and i.MX8 SoCs. This makes i.MX8 a viable platform for Genode-based
networking scenarios.
Enhanced packaging and test infrastructure for ARMv8
----------------------------------------------------
Besides the improved base-hw kernel, we enabled additional infrastructure for
ARMv8 platforms. For example, noux packages - like _coreutils_, _bash_ - are
now available, the standard C++ library is in place, and support for Genode's
port of the Linux TCP/IP stack is enabled.
Additionally, ARMv8 is now regularly tested within our nightly
_depot_autopilot_ runs.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Tracing
=======
Support for fast tracing has been built into Genode for a long time. However,
the stakes to take advantage of this feature remained high because convenience
functions were not in place. With the current release, we added the support
for easy trace setups through a VFS plugin. The plugin is called _vfs_trace_
and can be mounted into a Genode component as follows:
!<config>
! <vfs>
! <trace ram=32MB/>
! </vfs>
!</config>
This configuration will create a trace file system at the root of the VFS. The
_ram_ attribute is mandatory and determines the maximum size of all trace
buffers. The file system forms a recursive directory structure that represents
the parent/child relationship of running components, whereas the leaf
directories represent single threads within a component. Each leaf directory
currently contains three files:
:'enable': Start or stop the tracing of a thread by writing "true" or "false"
into the file.
:'buffer_size': Allows for the configuration of the trace-buffer size for the
thread in the usual Genode format (e.g. 5M, 512K, 1024).
:'trace_buffer': This read-only file contains the current content of the trace
buffer. Each trace entry can only be read once, after that only new entries
appear. "tail -f" can also be used to display continuous output.
As an example, tracing is started by writing _true_ to the _enable_ file:
! echo "true" > enable
The trace buffer can then be displayed using Unix tools like _tail_
! tail -f trace_buffer
which provides a continuous output.
Additionally, we have added the _trace_ function to _base/log.h_ that
facilitates identical functionality as _Genode::log_
! Genode::trace("Tracepoint value: ", value);
In order to enable tracing, the parent must provide the "TRACE" service. For a
real world example on Sculpt OS, please refer to this
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2019-06-18-trace_fs - Genodians article].
With the _vfs_trace_ plugin in place, we removed the outdated _trace_fs_.
Consolidation of the C runtime and Noux
=======================================
On our [https://genode.org/about/road-map#August_-_Release_19.08 - road map],
we vaguely hinted at our plan for the "consolidation" of the noux runtime,
which is actually meant as a polite way of announcing that we are going to
remove it. We introduced the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.02#Noux_-_an_execution_environment_for_the_GNU_userland - Noux runtime]
in 2011 as a way to execute command-line-based GNU software directly on
Genode. It has served us well over the years and is - in fact - a crucial
ingredient of Sculpt OS and other system scenarios such as the Genodians.org
web server. Noux supplements Genode with two valuable assets, namely a
flexible and expandable virtual file system (VFS) layer, and the
implementation of the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/12.02#Noux_support_for_fork_semantics - Unix way]
to spawn applications ('fork' and 'execve').
In the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Enhanced_VFS_infrastructure - meantime],
noux' VFS implementation has become independent from the noux runtime and is
now prominently employed by Genode's C runtime and the VFS server component.
Genode's C runtime became more and more complete, alleviating the use of noux
as POSIX compatibility layer except for programs that depended on a working
implementation of 'fork' and 'execve'.
The current release fills this remaining gap in Genode's C runtime by
providing 'fork', 'execve', and cousins such as 'wait4' and 'getpid' as
regular parts of the libc. This will eventually make noux redundant.
Note that this change does *NOT* make Genode reliant on POSIX. The C runtime
including the Unix features are entirely optional.
As one stepping stone of this undertaking, noux applications, which previously
had to be compiled for noux, have become binary compatible with the regular C
runtime. So one can execute programs like 'bash' directly as a Genode
component without any friction.
There are a few collateral improvements of Genode's dynamic linker and the C
runtime on the account of the new 'fork' and 'execve' implementation. E.g., in
addition to the already supported 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr'
configuration, the libc can be instructed to initialize arbitrary file
descriptors as follows:
! <config>
! ...
! <libc ...>
! <fd id="3" path="/dev/log" writeable="yes" readable="no" seek="10"/>
! ...
! </libc>
! </config>
The libc-based implementation of 'fork' and 'execve' can be tried out via
the new _ports/run/bash.run_ script. Note that there are still a number of
limitations such as the lack of signal and ioctl handling. Pipes are not
supported, and shebangs ('#!') are not interpreted yet. That said, once those
missing pieces come into place, we can fade out the use of noux within Genode.
General system time concept
===========================
Briefly speaking, up to now there has been no notion of an overall concept of
system time in Genode. Components that need to have access to some kind of
real time are either configured locally, e.g., libc-based components access a
configured "device" (/dev/rtc), which just might be an inline file system
containing an artificial timestamp or the VFS RTC plugin, while other
components query some RTC session directly. Most of the time, this session is
provided by the 'rtc_drv' on x86 machines, which is somewhat costly as reading
the RTC via I/O ports takes time and is therefore done scarcely. For example,
the libc will query an RTC source only once and uses this initial value to
interpolate the current time. However, for executing long-running components,
it will be necessary to adjust the clock to compensate for any occurring clock
drift or to correct a misconfigured clock in general. In addition it is
desirable to be able to use a remote time source, e.g., an NTP-server, to
synchronize the system time.
To address this, we came up with the following concept:
[image system_rtc]
The new "System RTC" component, located at
_repos/libports/src/server/system_rtc_, acts as proxy for the RTC service in
front of the actual RTC driver. It uses the driver to get the initial RTC
value and then uses a timer session (via the timeout framework) to locally
interpolate the time. In contrast to querying the RTC driver, querying the
System RTC is fast.
The RTC driver and the System RTC are bundled up together in the new
_drivers-rtc-pc_ package. The runtime of this package requests two ROM modules
used to update the RTC value. The first one, named 'system_set_rtc', is used
to update the proxy component while the second one, called 'hw_set_rtc', is
used by the RTC driver to write the value into the battery-backed RTC. A
separate component, potentially accessing a remote time source, may generate
these ROMs to adjust the time in the package's runtime.
The new native *SNTP* client at _repos/libports/src/app/sntp_client_ is such a
component. It periodically requests the current time from a given SNTP server
and generates a report. The report produced by the component contains the time
as UTC/GMT. Depending on the system policy, it can be used to update the time
of the System RTC and/or instruct the driver to set the RTC value.
To propagate such changes to RTC values, the RTC session was enhanced by the
new 'set' signal. A client of the session can install a signal handler to
adapt its own time when necessary. Based on this, the time back end of the
libc was changed to instantiate a watch handler for the RTC device, which,
when triggered, will cause the libc to re-read the RTC value.
This constellation should, under normal operation, allow for second to
sub-second granularity updates of the overall system time and avoid drifting
away from network time.
Accessing SMBIOS tables
=======================
The System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) is a specification that allows for reading
management information produced by the BIOS of a system as a collection of
data structures in memory. It has the potential to eliminate the need for the
operating system to probe hardware for discovering present devices and their
characteristics. Nowadays, the SMBIOS specification is implemented widely in
PC systems, which includes modern UEFI systems as well. The data structures
are referred to as _tables_ or _records_ by public documentation.
The new native SMBIOS decoder at _os/src/app/smbios_decoder_ can be used on
x86 to parse SMBIOS tables and report gathered information in a human-readable
way. Besides general table information like number and size of structures,
etc., the component supports complete parsing of SMBIOS structures of types
"BIOS", "System", and "Baseboard".
The component is free from any code for acquiring an SMBIOS table through
means like the bootloader or BIOS information. It expects a table to be
present through a regular Genode ROM session with a 'smbios_table' label. This
way, the underlying system is required to find, select, and save the raw table
on startup and create a ROM module out of it. This is currently achieved on
NOVA and base-hw through an interplay of kernel, the core component, and the
ACPI driver and was tested for legacy BIOSes as well as UEFI systems.
Clipboard
=========
Genode introduced a principle copy-and-paste mechanism already
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.11#Copy_and_paste - four years ago].
However, originally created as a part of a tech demo, the mechanism remained
unused in our day to day Genode work. This changed now. We took the
integration of copy-and-paste support in Sculpt OS as an opportunity to revive
and refine the existing mechanism and supplement it with the features needed
to make it practical for daily use. We believe that the result aligns ease of
use nicely with security. The concept is described in a
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2019-07-03-copy-paste - dedicated article]
at Genodians.org.
On a technical level, the existing clipboard component has received a new
option that allows for dynamic information-flow policies based on user
interactivity (keyboard focus, activity). When setting the config attribute
'match_labels="yes"', the clipboard performs plausibility checks for copy and
paste operations against the focus of the Nitpicker GUI server. All aspects of
the clipboard policy - including information-flow policies - have become
reconfigurable.
To make window-manager clients compatible with the clipboard's dynamic policy,
the window manager got enhanced with the ability to proxy the interaction with
the clipboard. GUI clients in turn - in particular the graphical *terminal* -
became able to interact with the clipboard. With the '<config>' attribute
'copy="yes"' specified, the terminal allows the user to select text to be
reported to a "clipboard" report. The selection mode is activated by holding
the left shift key. While the selection mode is active, the text position
under the mouse pointer is highlighted and the user can select text via the
left mouse button. Upon release of the mouse button, the selection is
reported. Vice versa, with the '<config>' attribute 'paste="yes"' specified,
the terminal allows the user to paste the content of a "clipboard" ROM session
to the terminal client by pressing the middle mouse button.
Finally, we integrated those new abilities into Sculpt OS and into several
installable packages, including virtual machines, the noux-system package,
and graphical Qt5-based applications.
Enhanced SSH terminal
=====================
This release paves the way for remotely managing Genode devices over SSH.
Until now, only interactive SSH sessions were supported. It is now possible to
execute commands from a remote SSH client. E.g., 'ssh noux@localhost -p 5555
"ls -hal /bin/"'. For non-interactive sessions, ssh_terminal requires a helper
component. This component is responsible to create the environment for the
command to run in. You can find an example for such a component at
_gems/src/test/exec_terminal_. It starts noux in a sub init and executes the
provided command inside of it. The new _ssh_exec_channel.run_ script gives a
demonstration on how this feature can be used.
This work is a contribution by Sid Hussmann of
[https://gapfruit.com - Gapfruit]. Thanks for this great new feature!
Storage-stack improvements
==========================
The desire of one Genode developer to exchange data via Iomega ZIP drives
between an Atari Falcon and Sculpt OS called for a number of small
improvements across several components of the storage stack.
First, the USB-block driver has been changed to exit on an initialization
failure instead of waiting for another (supported) device. This change enables
the Sculpt manager to detect such conditions and release the USB device
hardware by removing the driver component. Such a failed initialization may
happen with exotic USB-storage devices such as ZIP drives. With the device
released, however, it can be assigned to a virtual machine to access it using
a guest OS with a broader support of devices.
Second, the USB-block driver received new support for issuing the SCSI
START-STOP command at initialization time, thereby overcoming the ZIP-drive
initialization failure.
Third, we enhanced the part-block component with the ability to parse AHDI
partition schemes and detect the GEMDOS variant of FAT as used by Atari TOS.
Fourth, we enabled the Rump VFS plugin to access GEMDOS file systems. The
GEMDOS variant is readily supported by NetBSD's "msdos" file-system driver.
However, it must explicitly be enabled by a mount flag. Hence, we added the
principle ability for passing mount flags to NetBSD file-system drivers and
enabled the MSDOSFSMNT_GEMDOSFS flag based on the VFS plugin's config
attribute 'gemdos="yes"'.
With these changes in place, data can now be exchanged directly between
Atari-formatted disks and Sculpt OS. That said, advanced use cases such as
media changes at runtime are not covered yet.
Updated Ada/SPARK runtime
=========================
Genode's Ada/SPARK runtime is developed and maintained by
[https://componolit.com - Componolit]. Thanks for this excellent
collaboration!
The updated Componolit Ada runtime 1.1.0 increases the proof coverage and
cleans up the source-code structure. SPARK mode is now enabled wherever
possible and unneeded abstractions have been removed. Furthermore, the 64-bit
addition and subtraction have been proven to be free of runtime errors.
As a new feature, the runtime now supports the use of inline assembly in Ada.
The removal of unneeded features such as the incomplete threading support for
the secondary stack has greatly reduced the runtime's complexity while keeping
the current functionality available. Also GNAT.IO has been removed as its
implementation was incomplete and complex. A simpler replacement has been
introduced with 'Componolit.Runtime.Debug'.
Unrelated to Genode, the runtime now supports [https://muen.sk/ - Muen] and
the API/ABI of the runtime has been separated from the GNAT ABI.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Updated Qt5
===========
We updated our Qt5 port to the latest upstream version 5.13.0. Before
preparing the 'qt5' port, please make sure to build and install the updated
Qt5 host tools with the 'tool/tool_chain_qt5' script.
Virtualization
==============
As follow-up of our work on the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Kernel-agnostic_virtual-machine_monitors - kernel agnostic virtual-machine monitor interface]
on x86, we added principle support to run our port of VirtualBox on
Genode/Fiasco.OC. We write _principle_ support, since we managed to get the
VMM running with Fiasco.OC, but unfortunately not all features required by the
VMM are available using the Fiasco.OC kernel, e.g., guest FPU registers, PDPTE
registers, and task-priority support. In practice this means that the VMs with
Windows and Linux come up to a certain point but will fail later whenever the
guest state runs out of synchronization between VMM and hardware. In contrast,
the Seoul VMM runs fine on Fiasco.OC since it does not depend on the mentioned
missing features.
Our main working items have been the completion of transfer of the available
guest registers and control flow synchronization improvements between VMM and
Fiasco.OC kernel. Additionally, the usage of priorities for VirtualBox's
pthreads in the VMM had to be disabled. Finally, some tests for VirtualBox
with Genode/Fiasco.OC are enabled for nightly regular testing now.
As a side topic, we added support for using the VirtualBox
[https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82299&start=15 - CPU profile]
feature, which allows for presenting a different CPUID to the VM than the one
of the real CPU. This can help when running Windows 7 on a Kaby Lake or newer
CPU, which are considered _unsupported hardware_ and reason enough not to
receive security updates from Microsoft. The feature can be used on Genode by
adding the 'CpuProfile' attribute to the '<CPU>' XML node in the .vbox file,
like:
! <CPU CpuProfile="Intel Core i7-5600U">
Disposable VM for handling captive portals
==========================================
It is common that WiFi networks require the user to interact with a specific
web page before gaining access to full network functionality. Such captive
portal pages are completely individual to the accessed network and not limited
in the use of common web techniques. Therefore, their handling is best be done
using a fully-featured web browser like Mozilla Firefox.
This is where, in a Genode-based desktop system like Sculpt, a disposable VM
for hosting a minimal browser setup becomes desirable. Its goal is to unlock a
network for the native Genode surroundings with as little inconvenience as
possible just to be thrown away afterwards without any side effects on the
system.
Now, one could use the Firefox appliance VM of Sculpt (see the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.05 - release notes] or the
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2019-03-06-disposal-browser-vm - Genodians article])
for this. But this VM aims for a long-term browsing experience which, in the
context of mere captive-portal handling, brings some drawbacks like a much
higher RAM consumption or the required sessions for USB detection and shared
folders.
Furthermore, in the captive portal VM, there's no need for managing windows or
browser tabs. The one browser tab needed can always be shown in fullscreen. It
is also unnecessary for the browser to maintain a content cache or remember
user data. This can reduce resource consumption.
[image captive_portal_vm]
The VM we came up with is provided as package for Sculpt by Martin Stein
(depot user 'mstein'). You'll possibly need to manually add Martin's
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/tree/master/depot/mstein - depot key and download location]
to your Sculpt depot directory. After enabling this user, the captive portal
VM can be found in the Sculpt menu under "Depot -> mstein -> Virtual
Machines -> vbox5-nova-captive-portal".
The VM is based on a TinyCore 10 Linux with Xserver, i3 WM, and a tailored
Firefox browser. The package runtime doesn't need access to your file system,
it merely loads some ROMs into a RAM FS, so, it will completely forget any
changes made during a session. Therefore, it's also safe to simply remove an
instance via the Leitzentrale component-view once you don't need it anymore.
The guest additions are also included to make the VM window resizable.
Build system and tools
######################
At Genode Labs, we have used _tool/autopilot_ for the steering of tests in our
Continuous Integration workflow for almost a decade now. This implied various
improvements over the years and with the completion of our work on
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Unified_build_directories_for_ARM - unified build directories]
it was time to amend this handy tool once again. Unified build directories
support building all components for one CPU architecture in one directory
saving the build server from the redundant work we previously had with
board-specific directories. With the new notion of boards during builds, the
definition of the target platform when integrating Genode system scenarios is
now a triplet of _CPU architecture_, _board_, and _kernel_. This is reflected
in the new '-t <architecture-board-kernel>' command line option, which
instructs autopilot to generate a build directory for _architecture_ and
execute tests for the _board-kernel_ combination.
! autopilot -t x86_64-pc-sel4 -t x86_64-pc-nova -r log
The known options for '-k kernel' and '-p platform' are still supported with
the small change that the platform must now be defined as
_architecture-board_.
! autopilot -p x86_64-pc -k sel4 -k nova -r log
Autopilot now also documents the hidden feature to propagate custom 'RUN_OPTs'
via the 'RUN_OPT_AUTOPILOT' environment variable to the run tool executed.
Besides that, the tool always appends 'RUN_OPT' with '--autopilot'.
! RUN_OPT_AUTOPILOT="--depot-dir /data/depot" autopilot ...

===============================================
Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 19.11
===============================================
Genode Labs
On our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] for this year, we stated
"bridging worlds" as our guiding theme of 2019. The current release pays
tribute to this ambition on several accounts.
First, acknowledging the role of POSIX in the real world outside the heavens
of Genode, the release vastly improves our (optional) C runtime with respect
to the emulation of POSIX signals, execve, and ioctl calls. With the line of
work described in Section [C runtime with improved POSIX compatibility], we
hope to greatly reduce the friction when porting and hosting existing
application software directly on Genode.
Second, we identified the process of porting or developing application
software worth improving. Our existing tools were primarily geared to
operating-system development, not application development. Application
developers demand different work flows and tools, including the freedom to use
a build system of their choice.
Section [New tooling for bridging existing build systems with Genode]
introduces our new take on this productivity issue.
Third, in cases where the porting of software to Genode is considered
infeasible, virtualization comes to the rescue. With the current release, a
new virtual machine monitor for the 64-bit ARM architecture enters the
framework. It is presented in Section [Virtualization of 64-bit ARM platforms].
As another goal for 2019, we envisioned a solution for block-level device
encryption, which is a highly anticipated feature among Genode users. We are
proud to present the preliminary result of our year-long development in
Section [Preliminary block-device encrypter].
Preliminary block-device encrypter
##################################
Over the past year, we worked on implementing a block-device encryption
component that makes use of the
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARK_(programming_language) - SPARK]
programming language for its core logic. In contrast to common
block-device encryption techniques where normally is little done besides
the encryption of the on-disk blocks, the _consistent block encrypter (CBE)_
aims for more. It combines multiple techniques to ensure integrity -
the detection of unauthorized modifications of the block-device -
and robustness against data loss. Robustness is achieved by keeping snapshots
of old states of the device that remain unaffected by the further operation of
the device. A copy-on-write mechanism (only the differential changes to the
last snapshot are stored) is employed to maintain this snapshot history with
low overhead. To be able to access all states of the device in the same manner,
some kind of translation from virtual blocks to blocks on the device is needed.
Hash-trees, where each node contains the hash of its sub-nodes, combine the
aspect of translating blocks and ensuring their integrity in an elegant way.
During the tree traversal, the computed hash of each node can be easily checked
against the hash stored in the parent node.
The CBE does not perform any cryptography by itself but delegates
cryptographic operations to another entity. It neither knows nor cares about
the used algorithm. Of all the nodes in the virtual block device (VBD), only
the leaf nodes, which contain the data, are encrypted. All other nodes, which
only contain meta-data, are stored unencrypted.
Design
------
As depicted in Figure [cbe_trees], all information describing the various
parts of the CBE is stored in the superblock. The referenced VBD is a set of
several hash trees, each representing a certain device state including the
current working state. Only the tree of the current working state is used to
write data to the block device. All other trees represent snapshots of older
states and are immutable. Each stored device state has a generation number
that provides the chronological order of the states.
As you can see, in the depicted situation, there exist four device states - the
snapshot with generation 3 is the oldest, followed by two newer snapshots and
generation 6 that marks the working state of the virtual device. The tree with
generation 6 is the current working tree. Each tree contains all changes done
to the VBD since the previous generation (for generation 6 the red nodes). All
parts of a tree that didn't change since the previous generation are references
into older trees (for generation 6 the gray nodes). Note that in the picture,
nodes that are not relevant for generation 6 are omitted to keep it manageable.
The actual data blocks of the virtual device are the leaf nodes of the trees,
shown as squares.
[image cbe_trees]
Whenever a block request from the client would override data blocks in
generation 6 that are still referenced from an older generation, new blocks for
storing the changes are needed. Here is where the so-called _Free Tree_ enters
the picture. This tree contains and manages the spare blocks. Spare blocks are
a certain amount of blocks that the CBE has in addition to the number of blocks
needed for initializing the virtual device. So, after having initialized a
virtual device, they remain unused and are only referenced by the Free Tree.
Therefore, in case the VBD needs new blocks, it consults the Free Tree (red
arrow).
In the depicted situation, writing the first data block (red square) would
require allocating 4 new blocks as all nodes in the branch leading to the
corresponding leaf node - including the leaf node itself - have to be written.
In contrast, writing the second data block would require allocating only one
new block as the inner nodes (red circles) now already exist. Subsequent write
requests affecting only the new blocks will not trigger further block
allocations because they still belong to the current generation and will be
changed in-place. To make them immutable we have to create a new snapshot.
The blocks in generation 5 that were replaced by the change to generation 6
(blue nodes) are not needed for the working state of the virtual device
anymore. They are therefore, in exchange for the allocated blocks, added to
the Free Tree. But don't be fooled by the name, they are not free for
allocation yet, but marked as "reserved" only. This means, they are
potentially still part of a snapshot (as is the case in our example) but the
Free Tree shall keep checking, because once all snapshots that referenced the
blue blocks have disappeared, they become free blocks and can be allocated
again.
To create a new snapshot, we first have to make all changes done to the VBDs
working state as well as the Free Tree persistent by writing all corresponding
blocks to the block-device. After that, the new superblock state is written to
the block-device. To safeguard this operation, the CBE always maintains several
older states of the superblock on the block device. In case writing the new
state of the superblock fails, the CBE could fall back to the last state that,
in our example, would contain only generations 3, 4, and 5. Finally, the
current generation of the superblock in RAM is incremented by one (in the
example to generation 7). Thereby, generation 6 becomes immutable.
A question that remains is when to create snapshots. Triggering a snapshot
according to some heuristics inside the CBE might result in unnecessary
overhead. For instance, the inner nodes of the tree change frequently during a
sequential operation. We might not want them to be re-allocated all the time.
Therefore, the creation of a snapshot must be triggered explicitly from the
outside world. This way, we can accommodate different strategies, for
instance, client-triggered, time-based, or based on the amount of data
written.
When creating a snapshot, it can be specified whether it shall be disposable
or persistent. A disposable snapshot will be removed automatically by the CBE
in two situations, either
* When there are not enough usable nodes in the Free Tree left to
satisfy a write request, or
* When creating a new snapshot and all slots in the superblock that might
reference snapshots are already occupied.
A persistent snapshot, or quarantine snapshot, on the other hand will never be
removed automatically. Its removal must be requested explicitly.
During initialization, the CBE selects the most recent superblock and reads the
last generation value from it. The current generation (or working state
generation) is then set to the value incremented by one. Since all old blocks,
that are still referenced by a snapshot, are never changed again, overall
consistency is guaranteed for every generation whose superblock was stored
safely on disk.
Implementation
--------------
Although we aimed for a SPARK implementation of the CBE, we saw several
obstacles with developing it in SPARK right from the beginning. These obstacles
mainly came from the fact that none of us was experienced in designing
complex software in SPARK. So we started by conducting a rapid design-space
exploration using our mother tongue (C++) while using only language features
that can be mapped 1:1 to SPARK concepts. Additionally, we applied a clear
design methodology that allowed us to keep implementation-to-test cycles
small and perform a seamless and gradual translation into SPARK:
* _Control flow_
The core logic of the CBE is a big state machine that doesn't block. On each
external event, the state machine gets poked to update itself accordingly.
C++ can call SPARK but SPARK never calls C++. The SPARK code therefore
evolves as self-contained library.
* _Modularity_
The complex state machine of the CBE as a whole is split-up into smaller
manageable sub-state-machines, working independently from each other. These
modules don't call each other directly. Instead, an additional superior
module handles the interplay. This is done by constantly iterating over all
modules with the following procedure until no further progress can be made:
# Try to enter requests of other modules into the current one
# Poke the state machine of the current module
# The current module may have generated requests - Try to enter them into
the targeted modules
# The current module may have finished requests - Acknowledge them at the
modules they came from
Each module is represented through a class (C++) respectively a package with
a private state record (SPARK).
* _No global state_
There are no static (C++) or package (SPARK) variables. All state is kept in
members of objects (C++) respectively records (SPARK). All packages are pure
and sub-programs have no side-effects. Therefore, memory management and
communication with other components is left to OS glue-code outside the
core logic.
This approach worked out well. Module by module, we were able to translate the
C++ prototype to SPARK without long untested phases, rendering all regression
bugs manageable. In Genode, the CBE library is currently integrated through
the CBE-VFS plugin. Figure [cbe_modules] depicts its current structure and the
integration via VFS plugin.
[image cbe_modules]
The green and blue boxes each represent an Ada/SPARK package. The translation
to SPARK started at the bottom of the picture moving up to the more abstract
levels until it reached the Library module. This is the module that handles
the interplay of all other modules. Its interface is the front end of the CBE
library. So, all green packages are now completely written in SPARK and
together form the CBE library. Positioned above, the CXX library in blue is
brought in by a separate library and exports the CBE interface to C++. This
way, the CBE can also be used in other environments including pure SPARK
programs. The CXX Library package is not written in SPARK but Ada and performs
all the conversions and checks required to meet the preconditions set by the
SPARK packages below.
At the C++ side, we have the VFS plugin. Even at this level, the already
mentioned procedure applies: The plugin continuously tries to enter requests
coming from the VFS client (above) into the CBE (below), pokes the CBE state
machine, and puts thereby generated block/crypto requests of the CBE into the
corresponding back-ends (left). This process is repeated until there is no
further progress without waiting for an external event.
Current state
-------------
In its current state, the CBE library is still pretty much in flux and is not
meant for productive use.
As the Free Tree does not employ copy-on-write semantics for its meta-data, a
crash, software- or hardware-wise, will corrupt the tree structure and renders
the CBE unusable on the next start.
This issue is subject to ongoing work. That being said, there are
components that, besides being used for testing, show how the interface of the
CBE library lends itself to be integrated in components in different ways. At
the moment, there are two components making use of the CBE library as
block-device provider.
The first one is the aforementioned CBE-VFS plugin. Besides r/w access to the
working tree and r/o access to all persistent snapshots, it also provides a
management interface where persistent snapshots can be created or discarded.
Its current layout is illustrated by Figure [cbe_vfs]. The VFS plugin
generates three top directories in its root directory. The first one is the
_control_ directory. It contains several pseudo files for managing the CBE:
[image cbe_vfs]
:'key': set a key by writing a string into the file.
:'create_snapshot': writing 'true' to this file will attempt to create
a new snapshot. (Eventually the snapshot will
appear in the 'snapshots' directory if it could be
created successfully.)
:'discard_snapshot': writing a snapshot ID into this file will discard
the snapshot
The second is the 'current' directory. It gives access to the current
working tree of the CBE and contains the following file:
:'data': this file represents the virtual block device and gives
read and write access to the data stored by the CBE.
The third and last is the 'snapshots' directory. For each persistent snapshot,
there is a sub-directory named after the ID of the snapshot. This directory,
like the 'current' directory, contains a 'data' file. This file, however,
gives only read access to the data belonging to the snapshot.
The CBE-VFS plugin itself uses the VFS to access the underlying block device.
It utilizes the file specified in its configuration. Here is a '<vfs>'
snippet that shows a configured CBE-VFS plugin where the block device is
provided by the block VFS plugin.
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev">
! <block name="block"/>
! <cbe name="cbe" block="/dev/block"/>
! </dir>
! </vfs>
An exemplary ready-to-use run script can be found in the CBE repository
at _run/cbe_vfs_snaps.run_. This run script uses a bash script to
automatically perform a few operations on the CBE using the VFS plugin.
Afterwards it will drop the user into a shell where further operations
can be performed manually, e.g.:
! dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cbe/current/data bs=4K
The second component is the CBE server. In contrast to the CBE-VFS plugin,
it is just a simple block-session proxy component that uses a block connection
as back end to access a block-device. It provides a front-end block session to
its client, creates disposable snapshots every few seconds, and uses the
'External_Crypto' library to encrypt the data blocks using AES-CBC-ESSIV. The
used key is a plain passphrase. The following snippet illustrates its
configuration:
! <start name="cbe">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="4M"/>
! <provides><service name="Block"/></provides>
! <config sync_interval="5" passphrase="All your base are belong to us"/>
! </start>
The _run/cbe.run_ run script in the CBE repository showcases the use of the
CBE server.
Both run scripts will create the initial CBE state in a RAM-backed
block device that is then accessed by the CBE server or the CBE-VFS
plugin.
The run-script and the code itself can be found on the
[https://github.com/cnuke/cbe/tree/cbe_19.11 - cbe/cbe_19.11] branch on
GitHub. If you intend to try it out, you have to checkout
the corresponding
[https://github.com/cnuke/genode/tree/cbe_19.11 - genode/cbe_19.11]
branch in the Genode repository as well.
Future plans
------------
Besides addressing the current shortcomings and getting the CBE library
production-ready so that it can be used in Sculpt, there are still
a few features that are currently unimplemented. For one we would like
to add support for making it possible to resize the VBD as well as the
Free Tree. For now the geometry is fixed at initialization time and cannot
be changed afterwards. Furthermore, we would like to enable re-keying,
i.e., changing the used cryptographic key and re-encrypting the tree
set of the VBD afterwards. In addition to implementing those features, the
overall tooling for the CBE needs to be improved. E.g., there is currently
no proper initialization component. For now, we rely on a component
that was built merely as a test vehicle to generate the initial trees.
Virtualization of 64-bit ARM platforms
######################################
Genode has a long history regarding support of all kinds of
virtualization-related techniques including
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/9.11#Paravirtualized_Linux_on_Genode_OKL4 - para-virtualization],
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/trustzone - TrustZone],
hardware-assisted virtualization on
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/arm_virtualization - ARM],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.02#Full_virtualization_on_NOVA_x86 - x86],
up to the full virtualization stack of
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.02#VirtualBox_on_top_of_the_NOVA_microhypervisor - VirtualBox].
We regard those techniques as welcome stop-gap solutions for using non-trivial
existing software stacks on top of Genode's clean-slate OS architecture. The
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Kernel-agnostic_virtual-machine_monitors - recent]
introduction of a kernel-agnostic interface to control virtual machines (VM)
ushered a new level for the construction respectively porting of
virtual-machine monitors (VMM). By introducing a new ARMv8-compliant VMM
developed from scratch, we continue this line of work.
The new VMM builds upon our existing proof-of-concept (PoC) implementation for
ARMv7 as introduced in release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.02#Virtualization_on_ARM - 15.02].
In contrast to the former PoC implementation, however, it aims to be complete
to a greater extent. Currently, it comprises device models for the following
virtual hardware:
* RAM
* System Bus
* CPU
* Generic Interrupt Controller v2 and v3
* Generic Timer
* PL011 UART (limited)
* Pass-through devices
The VMM is able to load diverse 64-bit Linux kernels including
Device-Tree-Binary (DTB) and Initramfs. Currently, the implementation uses a
fixed memory layout for the guest-physical memory view, which needs to be
reflected by the DTB used by the guest OS. An example device-tree source file
can be found at _repos/os/src/server/vmm/spec/arm_v8/virt.dts_. The actual VMM
is located in the same directory.
Although support for multi-core VMs is already considered internally, it is
not yet finished. Further outstanding features that are already in development
are Virtio device model support for networking and console. As the first - and
by now only - back end, we tied the VMM to the ARMv8 broadened Kernel-agnostic
VM-session interface as implemented by Genode's custom base-hw kernel. As a
side effect of this work, we consolidated the generic VM session interface
slightly. The RPC call to create a new virtual-CPU now returns an identifier
for identification.
The VMM has a strict dependency on ARM's hardware virtualization support
(EL2), which comprises extensions for the ARMv8-A CPU, ARM's generic timer,
and ARM's GIC. This rules out the Raspberry Pi 3 board as a base platform
because it does not include a GIC but a custom interrupt-controller without
hardware-assisted virtualization of interrupts. To give the new VMM a try, we
recommend using the run script _repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run_ as a starting point
for executing the VMM on top of the i.MX8 Evaluation Kit board.
New tooling for bridging existing build systems with Genode
###########################################################
Genode's development tools are powerful and intimidating at the same time.
Being designed from the perspective of a whole-systems developer, they put
emphasis on the modularity of the code base (separating concerns like
different kernels or system abstraction levels), transitive dependency
tracking between libraries, scripting of a wide variety of system-integration
tasks, and the continuous integration of complete Genode-based
operating-system scenarios. Those tools are a two-edged sword though.
On the one hand, the tools are key for the productivity of seasoned Genode
developers once the potential of the tools is fully understood and leveraged.
For example, during the development of Sculpt OS, we are able to
change an arbitrary line of code in any system component and can test-drive
the resulting Sculpt system on real hardware within a couple of seconds.
As another example, the almost seamless switching from one OS kernel to
another has become a daily routine that we just take for granted without
even thinking about it.
On the other hand, the sophistication of the tools stands in the way of
application developers who are focused on a particular component instead
of the holistic Genode system. In this case, the powerful system-integration
features remain unused but the complexity of the tools and the build system
prevails. Speaking of build systems, this topic is ripe of emotions
anyway. _Developers use to hate build systems._ Forcing Genode's build
system down the throats of application developers is probably not the best
idea to make Genode popular.
This line of thoughts prompted us to re-approach the tooling for Genode from
the perspective of an application developer. The intermediate result is a new
tool called Goa:
:Goa project at GitHub:
[https://github.com/nfeske/goa]
Unlike Genode's regular tools, Goa's work flow is project-centered. A project
is a directory that may contain source code, data, instructions how to
download source codes from a 3rd party, descriptions of system scenarios, or
combinations thereof. Goa is independent from Genode's regular build system.
It combines Genode's package management (depot) with commodity build systems
such a CMake. In addition to building and test-driving application software
directly on a Linux-based development system, Goa is able to aid the process
of exporting and packaging the software in the format expected by Genode
systems like Sculpt OS.
At the current stage, Goa should be considered as work in progress. It's a new
approach and its success is anything but proven. That said, if you are
interested in developing or porting application software for Genode, your
feedback would be especially valuable. As a starting point, you may find the
following introductory article helpful:

Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
File-system session
===================
The file-system session interface received a much anticipated update.
Writing modification times
--------------------------
The new operation WRITE_TIMESTAMP allows a client to update the modification
time of a file-system node. The time is defined by the client to keep
file-system servers free from time-related concerns. The VFS server implements
the operation by forwarding it to the VFS plugin interface. At present, this
new interface is implemented by the rump VFS plugin to store modification
times on EXT2 file systems.
Enhanced file-status info
-------------------------
The status of a file-system node as returned by the 'File_system::Status'
operation has been revisited. First, we replaced the fairly opaque "mode" bits -
which were an ad-hoc attempt to stay compatible with Unix - with the explicit
notion of 'readable', 'writeable', and 'executable' attributes. We completely
dropped the notion of users and groups. Second, we added the distinction
between *continuous* and *transactional* files to allow for the robust
implementation of continuous write operations across component boundaries. A
continuous file can be written-to via a sequence of arbitrarily sized chunks
of data. For such files, a client can split a large write operation into any
number of smaller operations in accordance to the size of the used I/O
buffers. In contrast, a write to a transactional file is regarded as a
distinct operation. The canonical example of a transactional file is a
socket-control pseudo file.
Virtual file-system infrastructure
==================================
First fragments of a front-end API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The VFS is mostly used indirectly via the C runtime. However, it is also
useful for a few components that use the Genode API directly without any
libc. To accommodate such users of the VFS, we introduced the front-end
API at _os/vfs.h_ that covers a variety of current use cases. Currently, those
use cases revolve around the watching, reading, and parsing of files and
file-system structures - as performed by Sculpt's deployment mechanism.
Writing to files is not covered.
Improved file-watching support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All pseudo files that use the VFS-internal 'Readonly_value_file_system'
utility have become able to deliver watch notifications. This change enables
VFS clients to respond to VFS-plugin events (think of terminal resize)
dynamically.
Speaking of the *terminal VFS plugin*, the current release enhances the plugin
in several respects. First, it now delivers status information such as the
terminal size via pseudo files. Second, we equipped the VFS terminal file
system with the ability to detect user interrupts in the incoming data stream,
and propagate this information via the new pseudo file '.terminal/interrupts'.
Each time, the user presses control-c in the terminal, the value stored in
this pseudo file is increased. Thereby, a VFS client can watch this file to
get notified about the occurrences of user interrupts.
VFS plugin for emulating POSIX pipes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We added a new VFS plugin for emulating POSIX pipes. The new plugin creates
pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It replaces the deprecated libc_pipe
plugin. In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, which was limited to pipes within
one component, the new VFS plugin can also be used to establish pipes between
different components by mounting the plugin at a shared VFS server.
C runtime with improved POSIX compatibility
===========================================
Within Genode, we used to think of POSIX as a legacy that is best avoided.
In fact, the foundational components of the framework do not depend on a
C runtime at all. However, higher up the software stack - at the latest when
3rd-party libraries enter the picture - a working C runtime is unavoidable. In
this statement, the term "working" is rather muddy though. Since we have never
fully embraced POSIX, we were content with cutting corners here and there. For
example, given Genode's architecture, supporting 'fork' and 'execve' seemed
totally out of question because those mechanisms would go against the grain of
Genode.
However, our growing aspiration to bridge the gap between existing popular
applications and Genode made us re-evaluate our stance towards POSIX.
All technical criticism aside, POSIX is immensely useful because it is
a universally accepted stable interface. To dissolve friction between
Genode and popular application software, we have to satisfy the application's
expectations. This ignited a series of developments, in particular
the added support for 'fork' and 'execve' - of all things - in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#Consolidation_of_the_C_runtime_and_Noux - Genode 19.08],
which was nothing short of surprising, even to us.
The current release continues this line of development and brings the
following improvements.
Execve
------
The libc's 'execve' implementation got enhanced to evaluate the path of the
executable binary according to the information found on the VFS, in particular
by traversing directories and following symbolic links. This enables the libc
to execute files stored at sub directories of the file system.
Furthermore, 'execve' received handling for *executing shell scripts* by
parsing the shebang marker at the beginning of the executable file. This way,
the 'execve' mechanism of the libc reaches parity with the feature set of the
Noux runtime that we traditionally used to host Unix software on top of
Genode.
Modification-time handling
--------------------------
By default, the libc uses the just added facility for updating the timestamp
of file-system nodes when closing a written-to file, which clears the path
towards using tools like 'make' that rely on file-modifications times.
The libc's mechanism can be explicitly disabled by specifying
! <libc update_mtime="no"...>
This is useful for applications that have no legitimate access to a time
source.
Emulation of 'ioctl' operations via pseudo files
------------------------------------------------
With the current release, we introduce a new scheme of handling ioctl
operations, which maps 'ioctl' calls to pseudo-file accesses, similar to how
the libc already maps socket calls to socket-fs operations.
A device file can be accompanied with a (hidden) directory that is named after
the device file and hosts pseudo files for triggering the various device
operations. For example, for accessing a terminal, the directory structure
looks like this:
! /dev/terminal
! /dev/.terminal/info
! /dev/.terminal/rows
! /dev/.terminal/columns
! /dev/.terminal/interrupts
The 'info' file contains device information in XML format. The type of the XML
node corresponds to the device type. Whenever the libc receives a TIOCGWINSZ
ioctl for _/dev/terminal_, it reads the content of _/dev/.terminal/info_ to
obtain the terminal-size information. In this case, the _info_ file looks as
follows:
! <terminal rows="25" columns="80/>
Following this scheme, VFS plugins can support ioctl operations by providing
an ioctl directory in addition to the actual device file.
Emulation of POSIX signals
--------------------------
Even though there is no notion of POSIX signals at the Genode level, we
can reasonably emulate certain POSIX signals at the libc level. The current
release introduces the first bunch of such emulated signals:
:SIGWINCH: If 'stdout' is connected to a terminal, the libc watches the
terminal's ioctl pseudo file _.terminal/info_. Whenever the terminal
size changes, the POSIX signal SIGWINCH is delivered to the application.
With this improvement, Vim becomes able to dynamically adjust itself
to changed window dimensions when started as a native Genode component
(w/o the Noux runtime environment).
:SIGINT: If 'stdin' is connected to a terminal, the libc watches the
terminal's pseudo file _.terminal/interrupts_. Since, the terminal VFS
plugin modifies the file for each occurred user interrupt (control-c),
the libc is able to reflect such an event as SIGINT signal to the
application.
:Process-local signal delivery: The libc's implementation of 'kill' got
enhanced with the ability to submit signals to the local process.
Support for arbitrarily large write operations
----------------------------------------------
The number of bytes written by a single 'write' call used to be constrained by
the file's underlying I/O buffer size. Even though our libc correctly returned
this information to the application, we found that real-world applications
rarely check the return value of 'write' because partial writes do usually not
occur on popular POSIX systems. Thanks to the added distinction between
continuous and transactional files as described in Section
[File-system session], we became able to improve the libc's write operation to
iterate on partial writes to continuous files until the original write count
is reached. The split of large write operations into small partial writes as
dictated by the VFS infrastructure becomes invisible to the libc-using
application.
Input-event handling
====================
In Genode 19.08, we undertook a comprehensive rework of our keyboard-event
handling in the light of localization and also promised to tie up remaining
loose ends soon.
First, we again dived into our character generators for a thorough check of
our stack of keyboards and fixed remaining inconsistencies in French and
German layouts. En passant, we also increased the default RAM quotas for
the input filter to 1280K in our recipes to cope with the increased
layout-configuration sizes in corner cases.
Next - and more importantly - we subdued the monsters lurking in our Qt5
keyboard back end and enabled transparent support for system-wide keyboard
layout configuration for Qt5 components. One important change during this work
was to move the handling of control key sequences into the clients. For
example, the graphical terminal and Qt5 interpret key events in combination
with the CTRL modifier based on characters and, thus, support CTRL-A with
AZERTY and QWERTY layouts correctly. As a result we removed all CTRL modifier
(mod2) configurations from our character-generator configurations.
Finally we'd like to point out one important change of our rework that
repeatedly led to surprises: For keys without character mappings the reworked
character-generator mechanism emits invalid codepoints in contrast to
codepoints with value 0. For that reason, components interpreting character
events should check 'Codepoint::valid()' to prevent the processing of invalid
characters (and not the frequent pattern of 'codepoint.value != 0').
NIC router
==========
The NIC router has received the ability to report the link state of its NIC
interfaces (downlinks and uplinks). To control this mechanism, there are two
new boolean attributes 'link_state' and 'link_state_triggers' in the <report>
tag of the NIC router configuration. If the former is set to "true", the report
will contain the current link state for each interface:
! <domain name="domain1">
! <interface label="uplink1" link_state="false"/>
! <interface label="downlink1" link_state="true"/>
! </domain>
! <domain name="domain2">
! <interface label="downlink2" link_state="true"/>
! </domain>
The second attribute decides whether to trigger a report update each time the
link state of an interface changes. By default, both attributes are set to
"false".
Device drivers
==============
Platform driver on x86
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During our enablement of Genode on a
[https://genodians.org/chelmuth/2019-10-21-sculpt-elitebook - recent notebook],
we spotted some PC platform shortcomings, we address with this release. Most
prominently we added support for
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space#Bus_enumeration - 64-bit PCI base address registers]
to the x86 platform driver. This allows the use of PCI devices that are
assigned to physical I/O-memory regions beyond 4 GiB by the boot firmware.
Wireless driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We added the firmware images for the 5000 and 9000 series of Intel wireless
devices to the firmware white-list in the _wifi_drv_ component. Such devices
as 5100AGN, 5300AGN and 5350AGN as well as 9461, 9462 and 9560 should now be
usable on Genode.
Libraries and applications
##########################
VirtualBox improvements
=======================
The GUI handling of our VirtualBox port got improved to react on window-size
changes more instantly. The effect is that an interactive adjustment of the
window size, e.g., on Sculpt, becomes quickly visible to the user. Still, the
VM may take some time to adjust to the resolution change, which ultimately
depends on the behavior of the driver of the VirtualBox guest additions.
Updated 3rd-party software
==========================
With the addition of the 64-bit ARM architecture (AARCH64) with the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Broadened_CPU_architecture_support_and_updated_tool_chain - 19.05]
release, it became necessary to update the libraries the Genode tool chain
(gcc) depends on in order to support AARCH64 properly. This concerns the GNU
multi precision arithmetic library (gmp), which has been updated from version
4.3.2 to 6.1.2, as well as the libraries that depend on it: Multi precision
floating point (mpfr) and multi precision complex arithmetic (mpc). All those
old versions did not offer support for the AARCH64 architecture, which is a
requirement to make Genode self hosting. Targets for building binutils and GCC
within Genode for AARCH64 are in place, GNU make is in place, and even code
coverage (gcov) has been added. This work puts AARCH64 in line with other
supported CPU architectures and emphasizes our interest in the ARM 64-bit
architecture.
Platforms
#########
Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)
====================================
With the previous release, Genode's base-hw kernel got extended to support the
ARMv8-A architecture in principle. The first hardware supported was the
Raspberry Pi 3 as well as the i.MX8 evaluation kit (EVK). But only a single
CPU-core was usable at that time. Now, we lifted this limitation. On both
boards, all four CPU-cores are available henceforth.
Removed components
##################
The current release removes the following components:
:gems/src/app/launcher:
The graphical launcher remained unused for a few years now. It is not
suitable for systems as flexible as Sculpt OS.
:os/src/app/cli_monitor:
CLI monitor was a runtime environment with a custom command-line interface
to start and stop subsystems. It was part of the user interface of our
first take on a Genode-based desktop OS called
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.11#Genode_as_desktop_OS - Turmvilla].
Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like Vim to edit init
configurations dynamically, which is more flexible and - at the same time -
alleviates the need for a custom CLI. The CLI-monitor component was too
limited for use cases like Sculpt anyway.
Along with the CLI monitor, we removed the ancient (and untested for long
time) _terminal_mux.run_ script, which was the only remaining user of the CLI
monitor.
:fatfs_fs, rump_fs, and libc_fatfs plugin:
The stand-alone file-system servers fatfs_fs and rump_fs as well as the
fatfs libc plugin have been superseded by the fatfs and rump VFS plugins.
The stand-alone servers can be replaced by using the VFS server plus the
corresponding VFS plugin as a drop-in replacement.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 20.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
This year's [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] is all about making
Genode and Sculpt OS more approachable. It turns out that the first release of
the year already pays tribute to that goal. First, it equips Sculpt OS with a
much more logical and welcoming graphical user interface
(Section [Redesign of the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS]).
Second, it greatly reduces the friction when hosting existing applications on
Genode by smoothening several rough edges with respect to POSIX compatibility,
and by generally improving performance.
Most topics of the release are closely related to Sculpt. The biggest
break-though is certainly the ability of running Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM
hardware (Section [Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM i.MX8 hardware]) along with our
custom virtual machine monitor (VMM). On PC hardware, Sculpt users can enjoy
an updated audio driver and optimizations of the Seoul VMM. Furthermore,
Sculpt's window manager received the much anticipated ability to use virtual
desktops.
At the framework-API level, the most significant changes are the introduction
of dedicated types for inter-thread synchronization patterns
(Section [Base-framework refinements]) and a new library for
bringing the benefits of the Genode architecture to the application level
(Section [New sandbox library based on the init component]).
Redesign of the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS
##########################################################
On our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] for 2020, we stated
the reducing of the barrier of entry as our main concern of the year.
We highlighted the ease of use of Sculpt OS as one particular work area.
Removing Unix from the picture
------------------------------
Until now, Sculpt's administrative user interface - lyrically called
Leitzentrale - employed a small Unix runtime and the Vim editor as utility for
basic file operations and for the tweaking of configurations. Even though this
was a practical intermediate solution, we have to face the fact that not
everyone loves the Unix command-line interface as much as we do. Quite the
opposite, actually. When presenting Sculpt, we can clearly sense that people
with a non-Unix background are put off by it. The audience generally loves the
runtime graph, visual cues, and discoverability. Furthermore, command-line
interfaces are (albeit wrongly) perceived as archaic and impenetrable relics
by many computer users who are otherwise perfectly happy with the notion of
files and directories. We identified that file-manipulation tasks performed in
the Leitzentrale are rare and simple. Relying on Unix for those basic tasks is
like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. On average, the Leitzentrale is
used in just a few moments a day for basic things like browsing a file-system
hierarchy, glimpsing at the reports stored on the report file system, deleting
or copying a file or two, or tweaking a configuration file. With a Unix shell
presenting one barrier, Vim is certainly an even higher one. Familiarity with
Vim should definitely not be a prerequisite for using an operating system.
Following this reasoning, we decided to swap out the command-line interface
and Vim by a simple GUI-based file browser and a notepad-like editor, which do
not require any learning curve.
Note that even once the Unix command-line interface is removed from Sculpt's
Leitzentrale, advanced users will still be able to manipulate Sculpt's config
file system via a Unix runtime deployed as a regular component, similar to the
use of the noux-system package we have today.
New user-interface layout
-------------------------
The move away from the command-line interface goes hand in hand with the
redesign of the overall user-interface layout. A new panel at the top of the
screen contains two centered tabs for switching between the runtime graph and
the file-system browser.
[image sculpt_20.02_panel]
The storage-management functionality has been moved from the former storage
dialog into the respective nodes of the runtime graph. E.g., to format a block
device, the user can now select a USB or storage node of the graph to get a
menu of block-device-level operations.
[image sculpt_20.02_storage]
The network-management is now located at a drop-down menu that can be toggled
via a button at the right side of the panel.
[image sculpt_20.02_network]
A new button on the left side of the panel allows the user to toggle a
drop-down menu for GUI settings. At the current time, there is only the option
to adjust the font size. In the future, the dialog will give easy access to
the screen-resolution options and the keyboard layout.
The log-message view is now hidden in another drop-down menu that can be
toggled via a panel button. So when starting the system, the user is greeted
with only the runtime graph, which is a much nicer and cleaner looking
experience.
Informative or diagnostic messages are displayed in the left-bottom corner of
the screen.
[image sculpt_20.02_message]
The "Files" tab of the panel switches the main screen area to a simple file
browser that lists all file systems available. By toggling one of the
file-system buttons, the directory hierarchy can be browsed. When hovering
a file, an "Edit" or "View" button appears, which can be used to open
the file in a text area that appears on the right side of the file browser.
The editor supports the usual notepad-like motions, operations, and
shortcuts (control-c for copy, control-v for paste, control-s for save).
[image sculpt_20.02_editor]
Half-way there
--------------
With the current release, one can already accomplish a lot without having to
resort to a command-line interface: connecting to the network, managing
storage devices, installing and deploying software, inspecting the system
state, and tweaking configurations.
There are still a few gaps though. In particular the file browser does
not yet support file operations like the copying, renaming, or removal of
files. For these tasks, the current version of Sculpt still features the
Unix-based inspect window, which can be accessed by toggling the "Inspect"
button inside the USB or storage dialog. Once selected, the panel presents an
"Inspect" tab that features the familiar Unix shell and Vim. Note, however,
that we keep the inspect window only as an interim solution. It will
eventually be removed. As with every new feature, there are still rough edges
to be expected in the editor and file browser, e.g., the editing of files with
long lines or the browsing of directories with many entries is not
appropriately covered yet.
To see the current new version of Sculpt OS in action, you may find the
following presentation entertaining.
:Live demonstration of Sculpt OS at FOSDEM 2020:
[https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/uk_sculpt/]
The new version 20.02 of Sculpt OS is part of this release and can be built
from source and used right now. Several Genode developers already provide
ready-to-use packages for the new version. The software depots by alex-ab,
cnuke, skalk are worth exploring. A downloadable system image along with an
updated manual will be released shortly.
Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM i.MX8 hardware
######################################
Within the past two releases, big steps were taken to support ARMv8 hardware in
the Genode OS framework. After implementing basic support for Raspberry Pi 3,
and the i.MX 8M Evaluation Kit, the network card was enabled for the latter.
Moreover, we updated the Linux TCP/IP, and C library ports, as well as
the Noux environment to support the architecture. Finally, with the latest
releases, a new ARMv8-compliant virtual-machine monitor for the base-hw kernel
entered the framework.
The rapid achievements motivated us to strive for a more ambitious scenario to
run on top of the currently focused ARMv8 hardware platform. So why not using
Sculpt OS on the i.MX 8M System-on-Chip?
Persistent storage
==================
There were several challenges to cope with initially. First, persistent
storage was needed. Luckily, the Genode OS framework contained already an
SD-card driver implementation for the i.MX series. The driver was written for
Genode from scratch and initially supported the i.MX53 SoC only. From then, it
got extended repeatedly to drive the SD-card controller of several i.MX6 and
i.MX7 platforms. Therefore, it was not a big issue to support the new hardware
too. However, when we later used it in Sculpt, it turned out that the driver
has some low-latency requirements. If those were not met, it got stuck. This
was the time where the CPU-quota mechanism came in handy in a real-world
scenario. It helped to let the interrupt handler of the driver be scheduled in
time, and thereby let the driver run stable.
Having a working block device is one part, but it is of little use without a
file system. In Sculpt OS, the NetBSD rump kernel's ext2 file-system is
typically used to host the depot package system and for keeping configuration
files persistent. Unfortunately, the version of NetBSD as used in Genode's
rump kernel port does not contain the ARMv8 architecture. Of course, we could
have upgraded the rump kernel as a whole. But this software stack is quite
complex with a lot of threads reproducing a sophisticated state machine. It
took some time in the past to meet its required semantics. Therefore,
backporting some header definitions and a few architecture-dependent functions
seemed more attractive. Luckily, it turned out to be the right decision, and
after a day of backporting work, the file system could run on ARMv8.
Display engine
==============
One of the more challenging tasks was certainly the enabling of the Display
Controller Subsystem (DCSS) of the i.MX 8M SoC. Originally, we hoped to profit
from our experiences with the Image Processing Unit (IPU), the display engine
of former i.MX SoCs. But as it turned out, the DCSS is a completely new
design, and has not much in common with the IPU. When first writing a driver
for the IPU of the i.MX53, we were surprised by the complexity and flexibility
of this piece of hardware. Back then, it took months to get something
meaningful working. To not lose too much time by re-implementing a driver from
scratch, we decided to take the DDE Linux approach, which worked out pretty
fast. The resulting driver should provide the same flexibility like the Linux
original one. However, as the i.MX 8M EVK board provides a HDMI connector
only, we did not test more than that. The configuration of the driver is
analogous to the Intel framebuffer driver, and looks like the following:
! <config>
! <connector name="HDMI-A-1" width="1920" height="1080" hz="60" enabled="true"/>
! </config>
Later, when using the driver in practice within the Sculpt OS, we could
experience a slightly sluggish behaviour, which was due to a missing
architectural back end of the blitting library of Genode. After tweaking this
too, the graphical user interface experience was good.
USB and Input
=============
The last missing I/O device to run Sculpt OS on the ARMv8 was something for
user generated input. Therefore, the existent USB host controller driver for
the i.MX series got updated. The only roadblock here was the powering of the
device. As there is no platform driver for the target hardware yet, which
would manage power and clocks, the hardware either has to be pre-configured
correctly, or the driver has to enable it on its own. Ethernet card, SD-card,
and the display engine were all already powered by the bootloader, but not
USB. In contrast to the first devices, the u-boot bootloader turns off USB
explicitly as soon as it starts the OS. As an interim solution, we patched
u-boot to not turn off the USB host controller, and enforced u-boot to
initialize the powering in our boot scripts. Therefore, if one wants to use
USB on the i.MX 8M EVK, make sure to take our modified version. As a
convenient solution, you can use the 'uboot' port within the base repository.
Just issue the following command in the Genode directory:
! tool/ports/prepare_port uboot
Finally, you have to copy u-boot to the SD-card as root user:
! dd if=`tool/ports/current uboot`/imx8q_evk/imx-mkimage/iMX8M/flash.bin \
! of=/dev/sd<?> bs=1k seek=33 conv=fsync
Of course, you have to replace 'sd<?>' with the correct device node of your
attached SD-card.
After enabling the USB host controller driver, we could successfully re-use the
USB HID client driver to drive keyboard and mouse connected to the board. As a
nice side-effect, the list of possible storage devices got extended with USB
mass storage too by adding the USB block client driver.
Missing libraries
=================
Finally, when building the necessary and optional packages for Sculpt OS, we
stumbled across several libraries that needed to be adapted to compile and
link for ARMv8 too. Mostly, the inclusion of some other compilation units and
headers was sufficient. The related libraries are: libssl, libcrypto, libpng,
and Mesa. With the latter two, it is now even possible to execute Qt5
components on the target hardware.
Apart from all the new driver components and extended libraries, the Sculpt
manager had to be slightly modified to execute on the i.MX 8M hardware. In its
original form it is inherently dependent on x86 drivers, as it for example
generates configurations for some of those drivers. For the time being, the
changes to the Sculpt manager are not yet part of the official release.
Nevertheless, you can produce a Sculpt OS image to be run on an i.MX 8M EVK
board by using the following
[https://github.com/skalk/genode/commits/sculpt_20.02_imx8q_evk - topic branch].
Alternatively, you can also have a look at Sculpt OS on ARMv8 hardware by
following the video recordings of the following talk at FOSDEM 2020.
:Live demonstration of Sculpt OS on i.MX 8M EVK at FOSDEM 2020:
[https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/uk_genode_armv8/]
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
New sandbox library based on the init component
===============================================
The init component is Genode's canonical mechanism for the composition of
components. This role was further amplified when init became
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Dynamically_reconfigurable_init_component - dynamically reconfigurable].
The latter change cleared the ground for system scenarios like Sculpt OS, the
on-target deployment of packages, and dynamic device discovery. One typical
pattern found in such scenarios is one dynamically configured instance of init
accompanied by a controlling component that is usually called "manager". The
manager would consume reports of the subsystem hosted within the dynamic init,
and adjust the init configuration according to a domain-specific policy. Such
a configuration change, in turn, may trigger new reports, which effectively
turns this setting into a feedback control loop.
Whereas this established pattern is suitable for many scenarios, it is not
always natural. In particular if the manager does not only need to
manage a subsystem but also wants to intercept a service used by the
subsystem, the roles are no longer clear-cut. A practical example is a
GUI application that employs the menu-view component for the GUI rendering
while processing keyboard events locally. This application would need to
intercept the menu-view's GUI session to obtain the stream of user input
events. For such an application, the most natural approach would be the
co-location of the init functionality with the application logic into a
single all-encompassing component.
To accommodate such scenarios where a domain-specific management component is
tightly coupled with a dynamic subsystem, we extracted the child-management
functionality from the init component into a new library called "sandbox". The
library API is located at
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/os/include/os/sandbox.h - os/include/os/sandbox.h].
In addition to the hosting of components, the sandbox API also allows for the
interaction with the sandboxed children by providing locally implemented
services. The latter mechanism is illustrated by a new test available at
_os/src/test/sandbox_.
POSIX compatibility improvements
================================
During the release cycle of Genode 20.02, we continued our mission to host
POSIX software effortlessly as Genode components. In particular, we followed
up the line of work pursued with the two previous releases
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#Consolidation_of_the_C_runtime_and_Noux - 19.08] and
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#C_runtime_with_improved_POSIX_compatibility - 19.11]
with respect to the traditional Unix mechanisms fork, execve, and pipes.
After covering several edge cases - cloexec, file-descriptor lifetimes,
line-buffer handling, vfork, just to name a few - as needed by programs like
make, bash, and tclsh, we eventually reached a state where the website
generator of [https://genodians.org] works without the need for the now
deprecated Noux runtime.
For years we have been running complex software stacks like the Qt-based web
browser on top of our C runtime but not without carefully placed tweaks and
occasional patches. With the current release, we address the area of
concurrency and introduce a thorough reimplementation of the synchronization
primitives namely POSIX mutexes and condition variables as well as semaphores.
We also reaped the fruit of our labor by replacing our custom Qt thread back
end by the standard POSIX-thread based implementation. Further, we reduced the
number of threads in Qt applications by moving the QPA event handling to the
component entrypoint and removing the timed-semaphore utility from LibC.
Beyond Qt, we also address synchronization issues revealed by running a
third-party port of [https://grpc.io/ - gRPC] in our network back ends and
amended thread-local errno in the C runtime. Finally, our POSIX thread
implementation supports cleanup handlers now.
Base-framework refinements
==========================
Replacing the 'Lock' type by new 'Mutex' and 'Blockade' types
-------------------------------------------------------------
Up to now, Genode's lock implementation supports mainly two flavours of usage.
On the one hand, it is used to protect critical sections where the lock is
initialized as unlocked. In the contention case, the lock holder is supposed
to release the critical section. On the other hand, the lock is used as
blockade to synchronize startup between various executions of threads. Here
the lock is initialized as locked during instantiation whereby the thread that
releases the lock is not necessarily the same thread as the creator of the
lock.
We decided to make the two usage patterns more obvious by introducing two
separate classes, called 'Mutex' and 'Blockade'. The reasons are twofold.
First, during code review, the usage pattern at hand becomes more obvious.
Second, by codifying the programmer's intent behind the use of a
synchronization primitive, Genode becomes able to perform additional checks,
and diagnose certain dead-lock situations and other usage errors on the spot.
The separation got introduced shortly before this release. Up to now, it is
only used in 'Genode::Thread', 'Genode::Heap', and 'Genode::Registry'. The
plan is to cultivate the usage across all Genode sources over the next
releases and to ultimately remove the 'Genode::Lock' from the public API.
The 'Mutex' class is more restrictive compared to the 'Lock' class.
* At initialization time, it is always unlocked.
* To enter and leave a critical section the methods 'acquire()' and
'release()' are used.
* A 'Mutex::Guard' is provided, which will 'acquire()' a mutex at
construction time and release it automatically at destruction time of
the guard.
* No thread is permitted to lock twice. The code will generate a warning if
a dead-lock is detected.
* Only the lock holder is permitted to release the mutex. The code will
generate a warning and will not release the mutex if this rule is violated.
! Genode::Mutex mutex;
! mutex.acquire();
! mutex.release();
!
! {
! Genode::Mutex::Guard guard(mutex) /* acquire() during construction */
! } /* release() on guard object destruction */
!
! Genode::Mutex::Guard guard(mutex);
! mutex.acquire(); /* <-- Will cause a warning about the dead-lock */
The 'Blockade' class is always initialized as locked and provides the methods
'block()' and 'wakeup()'. Beside the initialization aspect, the 'Blockade'
behaves up to now like the 'Genode::Lock' implementation.
! Genode::Blockade blockade;
!
! /* step */ /* thread A */ /* thread B */
! 0: -start thread B-
! 1: ... -startup-
! 2: blockade.block(); ...
! 3: -sleep- ...
! 4: -sleep- blockade.wakeup();
! 5: ... ...
Performance optimization of the XML parser
------------------------------------------
Genode's XML parser used to rely on C++ exceptions while parsing, which is an
almost historic artifact inherited from the initial implementation. The
performance penalties of exceptions in the rare use of XML was acceptable
back when we started. But modern Genode systems like Sculpt OS rely on the
dynamic processing of XML like a back bone. The overhead became particularly
apparent when executing [Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM i.MX8 hardware]. Prompted by
this observation, we reworked the code such that exceptions are no longer
thrown in any hot code path. The public interface of 'Xml_node' remains
unchanged.
New polling variant for register framework
------------------------------------------
Genode's register framework has offered a 'wait_for' method for a long time.
This function sleeps for a certain amount of microseconds and checks if one or
more given conditions become true. The number of attempts to sleep and check
the conditions must also be specified. In case the conditions are not met
after these attempts, a polling timeout exception is thrown. The function
simply returns in case of success. With the current Genode release, we have
added a 'wait_for_any' method with almost the same semantics but instead of
waiting for all conditions to become true, it returns if any condition is
met, and thus, implements a logical OR.
Migration to modern block-device API
====================================
With release 19.02, Genode introduced two new APIs for block-session handling.
The client side of a block session now uses the job API in order to send block
requests to the server, which in turn receives those jobs as requests through
the Request API. These two APIs replace Genode's 'Block::Driver' and
'Block::Session_component' implementations that used the packet stream API
directly, which turned out to be error prone for block session implementations.
Instead, these new APIs wrap the packet stream handling in a controlled
manner while handling all corner cases and even the overcommit of packets.
With the current release, we have adapted Genode's AHCI driver and partition
manager to these new interfaces, with the plan to adjust all block session
clients/servers to the new APIs with Genode release 20.05.
During this line of work, the AHCI driver received a major cleanup. For
example, dynamic memory allocations were removed, the whole initialization
state machine has been removed, ATAPI support for Qemu has been re-enabled,
and Exynos5 AHCI support is gone - since the platform is outdated and not
supported by Genode any more.
Updated audio driver based on OpenBSD 6.6
=========================================
In this release, we updated the 3rd-party sources of the audio driver component
to OpenBSD 6.6 and adapted the emulation glue code. While doing so, we fixed
a bug regarding the 'delay()' implementation where the function expects
microseconds but was given milliseconds. This led to a increased start-up
time of the component. We also fixed the logging back end that accidentally
was rendered silent and brought in the 'printf' back end from DDE Linux to
be able to produce better formatted LOG messages in the future.
Until now the component only supported HDA and EAP (ES1370 PCI) devices. The
first is primarily intended to be used with real hardware whereas the latter
was used during the initial porting effort in Qemu. That being said, the EAP
driver apparently also works on hardware according to community feedback.
Since the HDA driver does not work when used in VirtualBox and users expressed
the desire to also use audio when running in a VM, we enabled another driver,
for which a device-model in VirtualBox exists: the AC97 ICH. As it turned out,
using this driver, we can produce audio, albeit the quality is far from
usable. Nevertheless, with the driver enabled, interested parties are free to
investigate the cause for the current issues.
All in all, this update is solely a catch up effort to stay more
up-to-date with the upstream changes and to pull in HDA quirks for more
recent systems. More interesting changes to the driver component, like
reworking the OpenBSD kernel emulation layer and bringing support for USB
audio devices, are scheduled for future releases.
Support for unlabeled LOG output
================================
In situations where a Genode system is remotely controlled and monitored,
it is useful to allow a special component to produce log output with no
Genode label applied. This way, such a component can produce log data in
a format that is immediately suitable for a controller. This feature can be
enabled for a component by rewriting the label of the component's LOG session
to "unlabeled".
! <route>
! <service name="LOG"> <parent label="unlabeled"/> </service>
! ...
! </route>
Libraries and applications
##########################
Custom virtual machine monitor on ARM
=====================================
The ARMv8-compliant virtual-machine monitor introduced in the previous release
19.11 now contains new device models to enable the interaction with a
virtual-machine via network and terminal services. The new virtual ethernet
card and console implementations are compliant to the virtualization standard
VIRTIO 1.1.
Currently, the VMM cannot be configured to contain specific devices. It is
hard-wired to provide exactly:
* One virtual ethernet card that connects to Genode's "Nic" service,
* A VIRTIO console that opens up a session to the "Terminal" service using the
label "console", and
* The traditional PL011 serial device model, which connects to a
"Terminal" service too but uses the label "earlycon"
Seoul VMM
=========
During the usage of Seoul on Sculpt, it became apparent that the Seoul VMM
caused a constant CPU load even when the guest VM was idling. After some
investigation it became clear that having a fixed rate to synchronize the
guest graphic memory with the Genode GUI service was the main reason for the
constant load. With this release, we added the feature to dynamically adjust
the GUI refresh rate depending on the rate of user interactivity.
Additionally, if all virtual CPUs go to idle state, the GUI refresh is stopped
completely. With these measures, the overall CPU load could be reduced
noticeably.
TCP terminal
============
The TCP terminal is a long-living component in the Genode OS framework since
release 11.11. It can be used, e.g., to connect to a headless Genode system
via telnet. Until now, it always listened to incoming network connections at
configured ports. The port had to be configured for each terminal session
client.
The TCP terminal got extended to either listen to incoming network
connections, or to directly connect to another network server, dependent on
the policy defined for the corresponding terminal client. The following
example configuration illustrates the differences:
! <config>
! <policy label="client" ip="10.0.0.5" port="1234"/>
! <policy label="another_client" port="4567"/>
! </config>
If only a port is described in the policy, the TCP terminal will listen on
that port for incoming connections. If an IP address is provided additionally,
it connects to the IP address using the given port.
Virtual desktops
================
Genode's GUI stack enables a high degree of flexibility. Beside the fundamental
nitpicker component, responsible for basically multiplexing input events and
framebuffer content, there is the window-manager component, and example
implementations of a window-layouter, and decorator. The interplay of the
latter three allows a window management that scales from simple to rich and
sophisticated without lowering its security properties. For a brief description
of its architecture, please refer to the release notes of
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.08 - 14.08].
In this architecture, the window layouter is responsible for the arrangement
of the different windows. It exports a data model of the window layout.
Although, the example implementation of the window layouter introduced in
14.08 was simple, it already contained a notion of having different virtual
screens and screen sections, beside the actual window placements. However,
until now there was no use-case of switching dynamically between different
virtual screens respectively window sets related to them.
While using more and more different graphical components within Sculpt, the
window layouter in its initial form hit a limit. Although it already allowed to
switch in-between different windows via configured key-combinations, it became
inconvenient when having more than a handful windows hiding each other.
Therefore, the window layouter now got extended to allow switching dynamically
in between several pre-defined virtual screens. For the time being, one has to
assign a new window to a screen in the rule-set of the window layouter
initially by hand. Defining the currently visible screen can either be done by
editing the rule-set, or by using pre-configured key-combinations.
The new default configuration of the window layouter as exported by its
corresponding depot package looks like the following:
! <config rules="rom">
! <rules>
! <screen name="screen_1"/>
! <screen name="screen_2"/>
! <screen name="screen_3"/>
! <screen name="screen_4"/>
! <screen name="screen_5"/>
! <screen name="screen_6"/>
! <screen name="screen_7"/>
! <screen name="screen_8"/>
! <screen name="screen_9"/>

As can be seen, individual keys are assigned to switch to a specific virtual
screen. By default ten screens are defined that are accessible via the number
keys. The first screen definition in the rules configuration marks the
currently visible screen.
Menu-view widget renderer
=========================
The line of work described in Section
[Redesign of the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS] called for
the enhancement of Genode's GUI-rendering component. This component - named
menu view - was
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.11#New_menu_view_application - originally introduced in Genode 14.11]
for the rendering of the relatively simple menus of an application launcher.
Its software design largely deviates from the beaten track of established
widget toolkits, which come in the form of client-side libraries. The
menu view is not a complete toolkit but solely a dialog renderer sandboxed
in a dedicated component. This design reinforces the strict separation of the
view from the application logic, fosters screen-resolution independence, and -
most importantly - keeps the complexity of pixel processing out of the
application program. Because of the latter, it lends itself to the
implementation of security-sensitive interactive applications.
It would certainly be misguiding to tout our menu-view as feature competitive
with existing toolkits. We certainly won't recommend using it over Qt in
general. But Sculpt's custom administrative user interface "Leitzentrale"
presented us with the perfect playground to explore and grow the potential of
our novel approach.
In contrast to the previous iteration of the Leitzentrale GUI, which relied on
a small Unix runtime and Vim for editing text files, the new version ought to
feature a simple text editor integrated in the GUI. A text editor requires
a much tighter interplay between the view and the actual program logic
compared to an application with just a bunch of buttons. Think about cursor
handling, scrolling text, displaying textual selections, or placing a text
cursor with the mouse. On the course of the work towards the text-area
component featured in the new Leitzentrale, the menu view received the
following improvements:
:Text-cursor support:
The label widget gained the ability to display one or multiple text cursors,
as illustrated by the following example:
! <label text="...">
! <cursor at="10"/>
! </label>
For the display of multiple cursors, each cursor must feature a distinctive
'name' attribute.
:Character position featured in the hover report:
The hovering information provided by the menu view used to be at the
granularity of widgets, which is insufficient for placing a text cursor with
the mouse. Hence, the information of a hovered label additionally provides
the character position within the label now.
:Unquoting label text attribute values:
The text displayed in label widgets is provided by a 'text' attribute value,
which raises the question of how to present '"' characters on the GUI. With
the new version, the attribute value can contain XML-quoted characters,
specifically "&quot;".
:Support for displaying text selections:
Similarly to the way of how a <cursor> can be defined for a <label>
widget, a selection can now be expressed as follows:
! <label ...>
! <selection at="2" length="12"/>
! </label>
:Support of multiple '<float>' widgets within a '<frame>':
We refined the hover reporting of <float> widgets such that a float widget
never responds to hovering unless a child is hovered. This way, it becomes
possible to stack multiple float widgets within one frame and still reach
all child widgets. This is useful for aligning multiple widgets within one
screen area independently from each other. For example, for left-aligning,
centering, and right-aligning the elements of a panel.
:Enforcing the minimum size of a label:
The new '<label min_ex="..">' attribute can be used to enforce a minimum
width in the unit of the size of the character 'x'. In the absence of a
'text' attribute, the minimum height of a label is implicitly set to 0. The
combination of both changes makes the label usable as a horizontal spacer.
:Basic support for styling labels:
The new version allows for the customization of the text color and alpha
value of the label widget by the means of a style-definition file. The
mechanism is exemplified with the new "invisible" label style that sets the
alpha value to zero.
With these few incremental changes in place, the menu-view widget renderer
becomes usable as the basis of the simple text editor used in Sculpt's new user
interface.
Self-hosting the tool chain on 64-bit ARM
=========================================
With our ongoing ARM 64-bit effort, we have successfully updated Genode's tool
chain with release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Broadened_CPU_architecture_support_and_updated_tool_chain - 19.05].
With the current release, we have additionally managed to make Genode's tool
chain self hosting on ARM 64-bit, which means the tool chain can compile
source code on ARM 64-bit directly.
Platforms
#########
Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)
====================================
The generic code base of the base-hw kernel underwent several cosmetic changes
to reduce or eliminate the application of certain problematic constructs like
too much inheritance, pointers, and dynamic casts. Those changes were
motivated to ease the translation of several kernel parts to the Ada/SPARK
language in the context of the Spunky project. For more information regarding
this experiment to write a Genode kernel in Ada/SPARK, please have a look at
the recent [https://genodians.org/m-stein/index - genodians.org article series]
of Martin Stein or listen to his recent
[https://video.fosdem.org/2020/AW1.125/ada_spunky.mp4 - FOSDEM talk].
Moreover, the IPC path implementation got simplified to lower the overhead
costs introduced by the transfer of capabilities. Together with the mentioned
Spunky cleanup efforts, this change measurably improved IPC performance.
The base-hw kernel now exports time consumption of individual threads via
the trace service analogously to the implementation for NOVA. Thereby, it
becomes possible to use for instance the top component within the Sculpt OS
also on this kernel.
Until now, support for the Raspberry Pi 3 was limited to Qemu emulation only.
Thanks to a contribution of Tomasz Gajewski, it is now possible to execute
Genode on all four CPUs of the actual hardware concurrently.
Execution on Linux
==================
Traditionally, the Linux version of Genode serves us as very handy development
vehicle but it was never intended as an actual target platform. On Linux,
Genode is usually executed as a multi-process application on top of a regular
GNU/Linux desktop distribution by specifying 'KERNEL=linux' and 'BOARD=linux'
to the run tool.
However, thanks to the work of Johannes Kliemann, Genode has become able to
run on a bare-bone Linux kernel without any other user land.
We blatantly used to refer to this idea as the
[https://genode.org/about/challenges#Platforms - microkernelization of Linux].
Johannes picked up the idea, supplemented Genode's core with the services
needed for user-level device drivers (IRQ, IOMEM, IOPORT) and supplemented
the tooling for the integration of Genode scenarios into a bootable initrd
image. This target of execution can be addressed by specifying 'KERNEL=linux'
and 'BOARD=pc' to the run tool now. If specified, the run tool will produce a
bootable Linux system image for the given run script and run it in Qemu.
That said, as this line of work is still considered as an experimental
playground - not for productive use - the work flow is not entirely automated.
In particular, one needs to prepare a suitable
[https://github.com/jklmnn/linux/commits/genode - Linux kernel] manually.
If you are interested in the topic, please refer to the background information
given in the [https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/pull/2829 - issue tracker].

Review of 2018
Review of 2019
##############
Sculpt is our take on creating a Genode-based general-purpose operating
system. When we declared 2018 as Genode's Year of Sculpt one year ago, our
vision of how Sculpt OS would shape up was still vague. We were convinced that
we had - functionality-wise - all building blocks of a general-purpose OS in
place. But it was rather unclear how to best put them together to attain a
practical system. The unconquered design space seemed vast, which was both
exciting but also - at times - a bit paralyzing.
For the road map 2019, we picked "bridging worlds" as our guiding theme:
(1) Lowering the friction when combining existing software with Genode,
(2) Fostering interoperability with widely used protocols and APIs, and
(3) Making Genode easier to approach and generally more practical.
The Year of Sculpt was more than anything a design-space exploration, not
an up-front planned activity. The process was driven by intensive
brainstorming, experimentation, and the continuous practical evaluation
through the day-to-day use of the system by its developers. For us, this ride
was certainly the most rewarding period in Genode's history so far. Now, when
looking at the result, we are proud about what we have achieved together.
Whenever having the chance to showing off Sculpt running on our laptops,
the system doesn't fail to impress.
With respect to (1), we identified Genode's custom tooling (build
system, run scripts, ports mechanism, depot tools) as a point of
friction. They are arguably powerful and flexible but require a lot of
up-front learning. This is certainly a burden unacceptable for a casual
developer without a black belt in Make and Expect/Tcl. The new
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#New_tooling_for_bridging_existing_build_systems_with_Genode - Goa]
tool rearranges the existing tools in a way that puts the concerns of casual
developers into focus, allowing for the use of commodity build systems,
eliminating Tcl syntax from the equation, running sub-second test cycles, and
streamlining the packaging of software.
Unsurprisingly, many topics of the past year had a direct connection to
Sculpt, e.g., the NIC router, the huge device-driver efforts, the GUI-stack
improvements, our custom microcode update mechanism, the software packaging
and deployment, and the work on the file-system and networking stacks.
On account of (2), we
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Broadened_CPU_architecture_support_and_updated_tool_chain - switched to C++17]
by default, fostered the use of
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2019-02-27-java-19-02 - Java],
updated Qt5, and put
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#C_runtime_with_improved_POSIX_compatibility - POSIX]
compatibility into the spotlight. We were eventually able to dissolve the need
for our custom Unix runtime (Noux) because all features of Noux are covered by
our regular libc now.
The bottom line of the Year of Sculpt is that Sculpt OS has become a
surprisingly versatile and robust system. It can be deployed in a few seconds
by booting from USB, runs as day-to-day OS on almost all of our laptops, its
mechanisms for installing and updating software from packages have become a
second nature, and it continues to inspire us to explore new application
areas. Even outside of Genode Labs, there is a small and enthusiastic user
base.
Our biggest step towards (3) is the [https://genodians.org] website we
started in winter 2019, which gives individual members of our community
an easy way to present thoughts, projects, and experiences.
Complementing Genode's formal documentation, it also conserves practical
tips and tricks that were previously not covered in written form.
Besides Sculpt, we set forth a number of other goals one year ago.
When speaking of "bridging worlds", we should not forget to mention the
tremendous effort to bring Sculpt-OS-like workloads to the 64-bit ARM world.
Thanks to the added support for
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#64-bit_ARM_and_NXP_i.MX8 - multi-core AARCH64],
hardware-based
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Virtualization_of_64-bit_ARM_platforms - virtualization],
and network/USB/graphics drivers for the i.MX8 SoC, the flexibility of Sculpt
OS will eventually become available on PC hardware and ARM-based devices
alike.
:The transition from NOVA to our custom kernel and seL4: is ongoing but
the topic received less attention than originally planned. This has
two reasons. First, Alexander Boettcher's excellent maintenance and gradual
improvement of NOVA keeps us hooked. Over the past year, there has been not
much incentive of actual Sculpt users to move away from NOVA. Second, there
is renewed interest in NOVA beyond our use of the kernel. Most specifically,
we started joining forces with
[https://cyberus-technology.de - Cyberus Technology] to improve NOVA
together. That's fantastic!
This development notwithstanding, we still follow our ambition to bring the
support for the other kernels like seL4 on par with NOVA to give Genode
users the ultimate choice.
Speaking of seL4, throughout the year, we have continuously adapted Genode
to the kernel's upstream development and enjoy the informal collaboration
with seL4 developer community. That said, the seL4 version of Genode still
remains a side activity with no commercial backing.
:NXP i.MX: support has become much better, particularly with respect to
network support and performance. Our ongoing commitment to the i.MX
platform is also fueled by privacy-advocating projects like the Librem
phone that are based on the same SoC.
:Software quality and resilience: ultimately became the title story of the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.11#Raising_the_bar_of_quality_assurance - release 18.11].
We greatly intensified the amount and quality of testing, explored static
code analysis, and vastly scaled up the complexity of workloads carried
by Genode.
:System monitoring, tracing, profiling: remains a somewhat underdeveloped area
of Genode. As a step in the right direction, we introduced a simple
trace-logging tool. Also, Sculpt's introspection features like the ability
to inspect the runtime's state live on the machine make Genode's behavior
easier to capture and to understand. But that said, the use of these
features remains a black art mastered only by a few.
:Java: has found its way into Genode via our port of OpenJDK. Details such as
the enabling of the JIT engine on ARM took much more effort than anticipated.
We are happy to report that Tomcat works fine. But at the current state, it
is still too early to advertise Java as a stable feature.
Over the course of 2019, we admittedly skipped a few topics originally
mentioned on our road map. In particular, the user-visible side of
Sculpt OS received less attention than originally envisioned. We also
deferred several ideas we had in mind about reworking our GUI stack.
Instead, we expanded our work in the areas of storage (block-level APIs,
test infrastructure,
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Preliminary_block-device_encrypter - block encryption])
and
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#Flexible_keyboard_layouts - input processing].
This shift of focus is mostly attributed to the priorities of Genode Labs'
customers who fund our work.
2019 - Bridging Worlds
######################
2020 - Dwarfing the barrier of entry
####################################
We dedicated the year 2018 to prove that Genode scales to general-purpose
computing. [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS] leaves no doubt
about that. The logical next step is to make Sculpt OS relevant and appealing
for a broader community.
During our public road-map
[https://lists.genode.org/pipermail/users/2018-December/006517.html - discussion]
on our mailing list, we identified three ways towards that goal:
Genode as a technology is there. For more than one decade, we walked unfathomed
territory, fought with countless deep rabbit holes, took risky decisions,
tracked back, explored design spaces, developed taste and distaste, pruned
technical debt, and eventually found formulas of success. Today, there are no
(fundamental) unsolved questions. All the puzzle pieces are in place. There
could be no better proof than our daily use of Sculpt OS. The time is right
to make Genode palatable for a wider circle. We identified four actionable
topics to achieve that.
# In order to capture the interest of new Genode users, we have to
put *emphasis on the practical use* of Genode, not on its technical prowess.
With practical use, we refer to both desktop computing and headless
scenarios like network appliances and servers. Over the course of 2019,
we plan to establish (variations of) Sculpt as an attractive foundation for
those application areas, and advance Genode's protocol stacks (storage and
encryption come in mind) and hardware support (e.g., ARM 64-bit) accordingly.
:User friendliness of Sculpt OS:
This will go hand in hand with making Genode easier to discover and to use,
describing use cases at a digestible level of detail, and fostering the
sense of one community that includes both users and developers.
Until now, Sculpt OS is not exactly friendly towards users who are
unfamiliar with the Unix command-line tools. Since Sculpt is not Unix
based, this is a bit paradoxical. 2020 will give Sculpt OS a friendlier
and discoverable user experience. In this context, we will inevitably
put our attention to Genode's GUI stack.
# Since an operating system is only valuable with applications, we have
to make the *porting of existing software* and the use of popular
*programming languages* a frictionless experience. Besides supporting the
reuse of existing software, we should also cultivate the "Genode way" as
an option for designing native applications. Such applications can
leverage the unique capabilities of the framework, in particular the
sandboxing of code at a very fine granularity and the low footprint of raw
Genode components.
:Perception of high quality:
# Because an operating system does not exist in isolation, we must foster
Genode's *interoperability* with other systems and applications by speaking
widely used protocols and supporting universally expected
software-integration features.
Compared to commodity operating systems who stood the test of time,
Genode is a young and largely unproven technology. It understandably calls
for skepticism. All the more we must leave no doubts about our high
quality standards. There must be no room for uncertainty. Hence, during
2020, we will intensify the consolidation and optimization of the framework
and its API, and talk about it.
:Enjoyable tooling:
Genode's success at large will depend on developers. As of today, software
development for Genode requires a huge up-front learning curve. This is
fine for people who are already convinced of Genode. But it unacceptable
for casual developers who want to get their toes wet. We should aim for
tooling that allows new developers to keep up their flow and beloved
tools. The recently introduced [https://genodians.org/nfeske/2019-11-25-goa - Goa]
tooling is our first take in this respect. It is certainly too early to call
Goa a success. In order to find out if we are on the right track, we want to
expose Goa to as many problems as possible, primarily by the means of
porting software. Also, things like IDE usage or adapters for a variety of
build systems will certainly move into focus in 2020.
:Convincing use cases:
Use cases can give exemplary proof of the fitness of Genode. We already
took a few baby steps to extend the range of documented use cases beyond
Sculpt OS last year. The boot2java scenenario comes in mind. 2020 will
hopefully see several more illustrations of Genode's versatility.
Milestones for 2019
Apart from this overall theme, we plan to continue our commitment to the
NXP i.MX SoC family, revisit Genode's low-latency audio support, and
extend the cultivation of Ada/SPARK within (and on top of) Genode.
Milestones for 2020

How to use Genode with the Fiasco microkernel
=============================================
Norman Feske, Christian Helmuth
Abstract
########
This documentation describes the process of building and booting the L4/Fiasco
version of Genode. It assumes that you are familiar with basic concepts
described in the introductory documentation of Genode, namely the "How to start
exploring Genode" document.
Preconditions
#############
The Fiasco version of Genode relies on the following components from
the source tree of the Fiasco microkernel and the L4 environment (which also
need additional tools).
Tools
=====
* Gawk
* Bison
* Byacc
* Python
The Fiasco microkernel
======================
Information about Fiasco are provided at its official website:
! http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/fiasco/prev/
To download the kernel and integrate it with Genode, issue the following
command from within the toplevel directory:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port fiasco
For the vesa driver on x86 the x86emu library is required and can be downloaded
and prepared by invoking the following command:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port x86emu
This command will download a prepackaged version of the kernel tested
with Genode. The build process of the kernel is integrated with Genode's
build system. After creating a build directory using 'create_builddir'
with 'fiasco_x86' as argument:
! <genode-dir>/tool/create_builddir fiasco_x86 \
! BUILD_DIR=<build-dir>
From within the new <build-dir>, the kernel can be compiled via
! make kernel/fiasco
When using Genode's run mechanism, there is no need to explicitly build the
kernel. The run environment (see 'tool/run/boot_dir/fiasco') takes care of it.
So you can simple execute run scripts from within the build directory, for
example:
! make run/demo
Behind the scenes
=================
For using the L4/Fiasco kernel, some basic user-level components and libraries
are needed. These are subsumed under the name L4 environment an are organized
as a number of packages. These packages provide two types of components. There
are low-level components for booting up and interfacing to Fiasco and there are
higher-level components that compose a basic OS infrastructure. For Genode, we
only rely on the low-level packages.
Previous versions of Genode included all necessary sources from the L4
environment in the '3rd/fiasco/snapshot' subdirectory. From release 10.02, the
'3rd' directory is no longer part of the release archive and also removed from
the subversion repository. Please download the '3rd_fiasco.tar.bz2' archive.
The source are organized as follows
:'tool': contains the tools that are used by the build processes of
the L4 environment and Fiasco. For example, the build process of Fiasco
relies on the 'preprocess' tool.
:'kernel': contains the Fiasco microkernel.
:'l4': contains the L4-environment source tree. The single packages
are located at 'l4/pkg'.
From all the packages of the L4 environment, the following three are of
interest for using Genode:
:'pkg/l4sys': contains the Fiasco system-call bindings.
The system-call bindings are a set of C-header files that define the
application-programming interface for invoking the system calls of
Fiasco.
:'pkg/sigma0':
Sigma0 is the initial memory manager required to use Fiasco.
:'pkg/bootstrap':
Bootstrap is the program that is started by the boot loader.
After being started, Bootstrap prepares the bare machine to
accommodate Fiasco. On many embedded architectures, bootstrap
is used to create a single binary image containing all boot-time
OS components.
Those components are implicitly built by the Genode build system when
issuing 'make kernel/fiasco'.

===================================
Genode on the Fiasco.OC microkernel
===================================
Stefan Kalkowski
Fiasco.OC is a microkernel originally developed by the OS group of the
TU-Dresden. Nowadays, it is primarily maintained and developed by
the company Kernkonzept. It's an object-oriented capability-based system
for x86, ARM, PowerPC and MIPS platforms.
This document provides brief instructions about downloading, building and
booting the Fiasco.OC version of Genode.
Prerequisites
#############
You need certain tools to use the Fiasco.OC build system. On Debian/Ubuntu
systems you have to install the following packages:
! apt-get install make gawk g++ binutils pkg-config g++-multilib subversion
Moreover, you need to download and install the tool-chain used by Genode. Have
a look at this page:
:[http://genode.org/download/tool-chain]:
Genode tool-chain
Building the Fiasco.OC version of Genode
########################################
The current version of Genode is available at the public Github repository:
:http://github.com/genodelabs/genode:
Github repository of Genode
After you've fetched the Genode source tree from the git repository, or
downloaded the latest release tar archive, you need the Fiasco.OC source code,
its kernel-bindings, additional bootstrap tools etc. To simplify that step,
you can use the 'prepare_port' tool:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port foc
This will install all necessary third-party source code in the 'contrib' folder.
Now, go to a directory where you want the Genode/Fiasco.OC build directory to
remain. Use the helper script in the 'tool' directory of the Genode
source tree to create the initial build environment. You need to state the
build directory you want to create, and the hardware architecture to run
Fiasco.OC/Genode on. Choose 'x86_32', 'x86_64', or one of the available ARM
boards.
! <genode-dir>/tool/create_builddir x86_64
Now, go to the newly created build directory and type make:
! cd build/x86_64
! make KERNEL=foc
This will build the Fiasco.OC kernel, its bootstrap code, and every Genode component,
that runs on top of Fiasco.OC.
If you just want to give Genode/Fiasco.OC a try, you can call e.g.: the demo run-script
instead of building everything:
! make run/demo KERNEL=foc

Subject: [PATCH 02/15] FOC: change l4_task_cap_equal semantic
The syscall l4_task_cap_equal almost returns false although the referenced
kernel-objects are equal. This patch changes the semantic of the syscall so that
whenever two capabilities refering the same kernel-object are compared it will
return true. Please refer to the discussion of the following mail thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/l4-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de/msg05162.html
