3e45b8aace pc_wifi_drv: implement kmem_cache_free_bulk
So far this dummy was only triggered on AX devices after the driver
has been used for a few hours.

481b4fde25 pc_intel_fb_drv: fix Shuttle DS57U
When using the framebuffer driver on this machine the
'cpu_latency_qos_request_active' dummy is triggered. Removing the
trace-and-stop call makes the driver usable.

In addition, 'cpu_latency_qos_remove_request' is changed as well
although it is guarded by 'cpu_latency_qos_request_active'.

Fixes #4489.

6cab572b8f sculpt: increase lowest-possible font size
This patch fixes rare freezes of menu view instances, which could happen boot
time whenever the leitzentale GUI happens to get initialized before the display
driver finished setting up a reasonable mode. In this case, the resolution-
dependent font size can temporarily get almost zero, tripping up the glyph
renderer.

b8e2b780e3 nvme_drv: reject requests with unaligned offset

as advertised in its Block::Info the added check will reject any

0d163915d0 nova: avoid hangs on AMD with IOMMUs
With the new usb driver #4399 and usage of the updated dde_linux lx_eml/lx_kit
approach a much higher rate of IRQ session construction/destruction and signal
handler assignment (irq->sigh) are caused. This trickles down to the kernel,
which causes an hang of the AMD IOMMUs due to not setting reserved bits
adequately. The commit fixes the root cause in the kernel and add a guard
into core's to limit such driver behaviour.

7d6c592417 vfs/rump: handle split block I/O jobs
This patch fixes a potential data corruption issue that could occur when
issuing large I/O requests to vfs/rump, which don't fit into the default
block I/O buffer of 128 KiB. Note that we haven't observed the problem
in practice (Sculpt hosts vfs/rump in a dedicated vfs server, which
fragments requests) but spotted the issue while reviewing the code. We
could trigger problem by explicitly changing the I/O buffer size to 32
KiB.

a45aabe68c usb_block: handle block requests in Signal_handler only
Before this commit, the block-request handler was implemented as
Io_signal_handler and, additionally, the USB driver called the
block-request handler on request completion directly on I/O level. This
is generally a bad idea because I/O handlers should avoid to have direct
global side effects. In contrast, application logic should be
implemented in way that it consumes atomic state changes after I/O
completed. Now USB I/O completion locally submits a signal to the
block-request Signal_handler.

4dbe1588a6 sculpt: relax heartbeat rate

an unresponsive part_block component. First, it reduces the heartbeat

state reports. Second, it allows up to four skipped heartbeats until

b9141f98af test/black_hole: fix "packet alloc failed"
The Uplink_test used to end in an uncaucht exception about a failed packet
allocation on several x86_32 platforms.

* Destruct and re-construct the corresponding TX packet allocator during a
  link-down-up step in the Uplink test. Fixes the exceptions but results in a
  never ending test.
* Decouple the link-down-up steps from the handling of packet stream signals
  by simply triggering it with a local periodic timeout of 1 sec period.
  This prevents that the Uplink_test never finishes because it destructs the
  Uplink connection too often.
* The test finishes not before at least 3 link-down-up steps were executed.
* Replace the Allocator_avl's used for the TX packet allocators of the Nic
  and Uplink Connection with the better suited Nic::Packet_allocator.

78d7a08618 wm: hide child views if top-level view vanishes
This patch handles the corner case of switching virtual desktops while
child views are visible. Examples of such child views are tool tips,
pull-down menus, or the graph of the top-view utility. The switch to
another virtual desktop would implicitely turn the child views into
top-level views of the root nitpicker GUI server until switching back
to the original virtual desktop.

The patch implements the expected behavior of hiding all child views
that belong to a disappearing top-level view.

df1767b784 vbox6: tidy up devxhci poweroff
The issue came apparent with Windows Guests and USB passthrough of
smart-card readers. If the VM is powered off, PDMR3Term cleans up all
devices incl. (first) acpi and (later) devxhci. The latter used a
dangling reference to ACPI structs in a indirect call to
apicIsLogicalDest() from xhciR3Destruct().

ef8c98cb71 nic_router: merge packet stream signal handlers
The NIC router used to handle each type of packet-stream signal with a distinct
method in the Interface class. However, merging those methods has advantages.

It ensures that sent packets that were already acknowledged by the counter side
are always released before handling received packets. This frees packet stream
memory which facilitates the potential allocation of response packets while
handling received packets. Furthermore, it simplifies the code and reduces the
number of entry points into the router.

This commit also removes the installation of signal handlers at packet streams
for events that are of no interest for the router (TX-ready-to-ack /
RX-ready-to-submit at NIC sessions and RX-ready-to-ack / TX-ready-to-submit at
Uplink sessions).

9de4ecf8b6 run/nic_router_dhcp: DHCP RENEW and some fixes
* Test DHCP RENEW by the test client in the unmanaged variant.
* Add event IDs to log output of test client in order to prevent false positive
  result in the managed variant.
* Let managed and unmanaged variant have separate string patterns for
  'run_genode_until' because they already had different output and it will
  differ even more as we don't want to test DHCP RENEW with the managed
  variant.
* Delay first test client DHCP in order to fix unexpected sporadic initial IP
  config.
* Remove some unnecessary code from the run script

7fc20e9ae8 NIC router: update IP config on DHCP RENEW/REBIND
The NIC router did update the IP config of a domain on a completed DHCP
REQUEST but not on completed DHCP RENEW or DHCP REBIND. Thus, it didn't adapt
to "real" DHCP servers (not NIC router servers) that got restarted with a
changed configuration by the means of RENEW/REBIND. The commit fixes this.
Note, that testing this is complicated as we don't have the necessary
infrastructure (we cannot simply use the DHCP server of the NIC router as this
would apply a link down/up sequence in order to let the client restart DHCP)

0104a74028 memcpy (arm): cache align and use pld for speedup
Preloading a few cache lines ahead brings a significant speedup in
memcpy throughput. Note, the particular (optimal) value was empirically
determined on a Cortex-A9 (Zynq-7000) SoC @ 666Mhz. It is best combined
with L2 prefetching enabled (including double linefills and prefetch
offset 7). Yet, even without L2 prefetching this seems to be the sweet
spot.

07736d1689 test/memcpy: fix optimistic results on Linux
When executed on Linux, the test was impaired by the copy-on-write
optimisation since the source buffer was never initialised. By default,
Linux only maps a zeroed page until the first write access to the page
occurs. Since the source buffer was never written, the corresponding
page was always present in the physically-indexed data cache. In
consequence, the test merely measured write performance (similar to memset).

bb26a986e6 sculpt: add trace_logger as optional launcher
This patch adds the trace-logger utility to the default set of packages
along with an optional launcher. With this change, only two steps are
needed to use Genode's tracing mechanism with Sculpt:

- Add 'trace_logger' to the 'launcher:' list of the .sculpt file

- Either manually select the 'trace_logger' from the '+' menu,
  or add the following entry to the deploy configuration:

    <start name="trace_logger"/>

By default, the trace logger is configured to trace all threads
executed in the runtime subsystem and to print a report every 10
seconds. This default policy can be refined in the launcher's <config>
node. Note that the trace logger does not respond to configuration
changes during runtime. Changes come into effect not before restarting
the component.

be0a1742ac base: distinct TRACED from ATTACHED trace subjects
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.

Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.

This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:

  UNATTACHED  prior any call of 'trace'
  ATTACHED    after a trace monitor called 'trace'
              but before the tracing is active
  TRACE       tracing is active

First, the endpoint update has to comply with the current alternate
settings of all interface, which are stored in USBDevice::altsetting[]
(one value per interface). Second, a SET_INTERFACE control request via
Packet_type::ALT_SETTING must update USBDevice::altsetting for the
interface.

Now, USB devices with multi-setting interface like the Joulescope JS110

fa5f8dbd55 sculpt: reduce NIC driver CPU quota
The value of 50% as assigned by commit "sculpt: add basic support for
i.MX8 Quad EVK" leaves too little room for other components of the
runtime subsystem. With the adjustements of commit "sculpt: assign CPU
quotas" the sum exeedcs 100%. Hence this commit tunes down the value to
sensible 10%.

a9022d8451 sandbox: improve CPU-quota accounting
The existing assignment of CPU quotas did not anticipate the dynamic
reconfiguration of init. It merely tracked the available CPU quota by
deducing the consumed amount from a global variable but never
replenished the value. This worked for static scenarios but failed in
situations where components are dynamically re-started.

So far this deficiency remained detected because CPU quotas were not
used in highly dynamic systems like Sculpt OS. However, this has
recently changed by commit "sculpt: assign CPU quotas".

The patch improves the accounting by mirroring the existing handling of
RAM and cap quotas. Note that the CPU-quota accounting is still rather
limited. In particular the dynamic rebalancing is not yet supported.

ca9460aead event_filter: touch/press untouch/release sequence
This commit changes the touch-click filter to adhere the following
sequence:

  touch         (physical)
  press         (artifically generated)
  release       (artificially generated)
  release_touch (physical)

This order is important because nitpicker's focus handling takes
press/release events into account. If the release-touch event appears
before the release event, nitpicker subsumes the release-touch event
to the sequence that started with the press event, instead of handling
it as a free-standing event.

e595b0b782 base-hw: Make sure MMU is initially disabled on ARMv8.
Genode code already expects MMU to be disabled when starting the
kernel. It is enabled eventually in Bootstrap::Platform::enable_mmu,
after setting up translation tables. Unfortunately nothing ensures
this is actually the case. If MMU happens to be enabled when entering
the kernel things go downhill pretty fast after we start messing with
TTBR.

This patch ensures MMU is disabled for EL1, EL2, EL3 dependent on the
exception level of the CPU core, which is entering the kernel.

This should allow base-hw to start correctly on Quartz64 A board.

c2efa5406e xml_node: support backslash as attribute value
XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.

The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.

The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

concurrently constrained to use allocations of a specific physical RAM area.
This commit further limits this area by removing RAM page frame zero.
Otherwise the return value of `dma_addr` for such a dataspace would be
erroneously interpreted as a fault, because zero is currently the error

300cdc435d expanding_report: make expandable for XML node generation
'generate(Xml_node node)', as used by the Sculpt manager, calls this
function instead of the lambda version. The 'report' function of the
'Genode::Reporter' does not throw an exception in case there is not
enough backing storage for the 'generate' request. Therefore, we have to
check this condition in a loop and call '_increase_report_buffer' in
case size limits are reached.

dd1596aa53 base: Don't produce .gnu.hash tables for Genode.
Genode linker does not support .gnu.hash tables so they will never be
used. Tell the linker not to bother producing them. This should reduce
the size of Genode ELF files a tiny bit without loosing anything

bade0a85e7 base-hw: Implement CPU core identification for Cortex-A55.
According to ARM Cortex-A55 Core Technical Reference Manual r1p0 the
lowest 8 bits (Aff0) of MPIDR register represent thread IDs within a
multi-threaded core. The actual core identification bits are in Aff1.
This layout can be identified by checking the MT bit of MPIDR register.
Basically, if MT=1 core id is in Aff1, if MT=0 core id is in Aff0.

Without this change Genode will identify all CPU cores on A55 as primary
(0) core.

Its worth to mention that Cortex-A55 by itself is not a multi-threaded
CPU. Aff0 values are always expected to be 0 for pure A55 cores. A55
cores can however be paired with cores that are multi-threaded. To
support such big.LITTLE CPUs in Genode we'd probably need to add a
different mechanism for mapping MPIDR values to logical, contignous
core IDs which Genode expects.

58e0b24006 base: Ignore empty constructors array.
This does not affect default Genode builds as far as I can tell. There
is always at least one global static CTOR which seems to be coming from
one of the GCC runtime libs bundled in the toolchain. The problem became
visible for me only after I've replated GCC runtime with LLVM based
one. In such setup I often see binaries that do not have any static ctors.
Such binaries end up crashing Genode ld.lib.so.

Make sure the code does handle empty constructors array.

05e4993d2e gems: Avoid flexible array member in Cached_font.
Switch the code to 0 lengh array instead. The code in
Lru_cache::element_size calls sizeof on this structure. This works in
gcc, but fails when using clang. Even for GCC however the documentation
states:

  "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
   may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
   zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."

Basically its an implementation quirk that clang does not support. Both
GCC and clang do support zero sized arrays however so using them here
allows both compilers to process this code.

5e93a5806b base-hw: Use softfp ABI on virt_qemu ARMv7.
The soft ABI implies purely software floating point implementation.
This is not the case for Genode however. For example core's
exception_vector.S uses vmsr instruction. This builds fine with with
GCC based toolchain, but clang with integrated-as complains:

src/core/spec/arm/exception_vector.S:122:2: error: instruction requires: VFP2
 vmsr fpexc, r1
 ^

Fix this by passing softfp to mfloat-abi command on ARMv7. This allows
usage of FP HW, but implies soft-floating point ABI.

4ae78639f5 base-hw: Fix invalid structure alignments.
According to C++11 reference:

  "If the strictest (largest) alignas on a declaration is weaker than
   the alignment it would have without any alignas specifiers (that is,
   weaker than its natural alignment or weaker than alignas on another
   declaration of the same object or type), the program is ill-formed:"

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/alignas

The code requests 4 byte alignment for Genode::Arm_cpu::Context.
The Context structure inherits Genode::Arm_cpu::Fpu_context which
has minimum alignment requirement of 8 bytes, due to uint64_t d0_d31
member. This makes the 4 byte value in Context's alignas specifier
invalid (smaller than allowed minimum).

Similar situation takes place in Arm_64 case. The claimed minimum
alignment of Context is 8 bytes, but the fpu_state member imposes 16
bytes alignment (explicitly specified in Fpu_state declaration).

In both cases the code builds fine with GCC 8.3.0, but fails with
clang which claims that "requested alignment is less than minimum
alignment of X for type", where X is 8 on ARM and 16 on AArch64.

e4f62380d7 base: Pd_session::dma_addr, Pd_session::attach_dma
This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.

The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.

The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.

With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.

8e9cabf819 sculpt_manager: touch-screen compatibility
This patch makes Sculpt's leitzentrale GUI able to respond to touch events. It
formerly assumed that click/clack events are always preceded by hover reports
that identify the clicked-on widgets. For touch events, however, the most
up-to-date hover information referred to the previous click because there is no
motion without touching. So the GUI tended to identify the wrong widgets as
click targets.

The patch solved this problem by testing the freshness of the hover information
at the time of the click. If the hover information is older than the click, the
action is deferred until up-to-date hover information becomes available.

The new event type allows for the propagation of sequence numbers as a means to
validate the freshness of input handling. E.g., an menu-view-based application
can augment artificial sequence numbers to the stream of motion events supplied
to 'menu_view'. Menu view, in turn, can now report the latest received sequence
number in its hover reports, thereby enabling the application to robustly
correlate hover results with click positions.

perspective. We used to print a message nevertheless, since the
condition is rather exceptional. However, when printed during the

the depot_autopilot, flagging the successful test as an error.

df2e7fa842 vfs_block_file_system: remove Signal_receiver
The VFS block plugin used to depend on the blocking semantics of the
packet stream's 'get_acked_packet'. This patch replaces this dependency
by the use of 'wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal'. However, in order to
implement this change, the custom instance of a 'Signal_receiver' had to
be removed as well.

To keep this patch as little invasive as possible, it does not touch the
direct use of the block session's packet stream, which should better be
replaced by the 'Block::Connection::Job' API.

The zynq_nic_drv follows a zero-copy approach and thus uses the packet
buffers as DMA memory. In order to know when the RX DMA memory can be used
for another packet, a custom ack_avail_handler is needed.
Similarly, packets received from the Uplink session are not copied to a
DMA buffer but to directly passed on as DMA memory. For this purpose,
a a custom packet_avail handler is needed.

ac691eb229 file_system/util.h: remove packet-stream helpers
The 'read' and 'write' utilities are from a time before the VFS API
as os/vfs.h was available. They rely on the (now removed) blocking
semantics of the packet-stream interface.

The only remaining legitimate use case of the direct interaction with

a way to exfiltrate the statistical data using a channel that is

back if a completion signal has been received between two read
transctions to the fd.

For now the Gpu::Connections can be retrieved by calling the
'vfs_gpu_connection(unsigned long id)' function. The id can be obtained
using 'stat' on the 'gpu' device and is located in the inode (st_ino)

83626b18f0 uplink_client_base: remove unused code
So far, the generic Uplink connection code considered NIC drivers to transmit
connection RX packets in three different manners. Most of the drivers follow
the "normal" way of transmission with only one driver callback from generic
code. The monolithic USB NIC-driver, however, used to send in a "burst" mode
that required a dedicated path with multiple driver callbacks in the generic
code. And then there were drivers that had a fully custom function for doing
transmissions.

Also for handling connection TX acks, there was a "normal" and a
"custom handler" way.

Today, all NIC drivers in the Genode repos and the Genode-World repo follow the
"normal" way. Therefor, the unused code can be removed.

426f52068b hw: avoid 'cps' instruction in ARM hyp mode
On some boards or emulators a CPU might be executing in hyp mode
when entering Genode's bootstrap code. In that mode the 'cps' instruction

b723b11b30 Modularize Sculpt OS image creation
This patch equips Sculpt with the ability to customize the system image
in very flexible ways.

All customizable aspects of the image have been relocated from the
former sculpt.run script and the accompanied gems/run/sculpt/ directory
to a new location - the sculpt/ directory - which can exist in any
repository. The directory at repos/gems/sculpt/ serves as reference.

The sculpt directory can host any number of <name>-<board>.sculpt files,
each containing a list of ingredients to be incorporated into the
Sculpt system image. The <name> can be specified to the sculpt.run
script. E.g., the following command refers to the 'default-pc.sculpt'
file:

  make run/sculpt KERNEL=nova BOARD=pc SCULPT=default

If no 'SCULPT' argument is supplied, the value 'default' is used.

A .sculpt file refers to a selection of files found at various
subdirectries named after their respective purpose. In particular, There
exists a subdirectory for each file in Sculpt's config fs, like
nitpicker, drivers... The .sculpt file selects the alternative to use
by a simple tag-value notation.

  drivers: pc

The supported tags are as follows.

*Optional* selection of /config files. If not specified, those files are
omitted, which prompts Sculpt to manage those configurations
automatically or via the Leitzentrale GUI:

  fonts
  nic_router
  event_filter
  wifi
  runtime
  gpu_drv

Selection of mandatory /config files. If not specified, the respective
'default' alternative will be used.

  nitpicker
  deploy
  fb_drv
  clipboard
  drivers
  numlock_remap
  leitzentrale
  usb
  system
  ram_fs

Furthermore, the .sculpt file supports the optional selection of
supplemental content such as a set of launchers.

  launches: nano3d system_shell

Another type of content are the set of blessed pubkey/download files
used for installing and verifying software on target.

With the new version, it has become possible to supply a depot with the
the system image. The depot content is assembled according to the 'pkg'
attributes found in launcher files and the selected deploy config.
The resulting depot is incorporated into the system image as 'depot.tar'
archive. It can be supplied to the Sculpt system by mounting it into the
ram fs as done by the 'ram_fs/depot' configuration for the ram fs.

It is possible to add additional boot modules to the system image. There
are two options.

  build: <list of targets>

This tag prompts the sculpt.run script to build the specified targets
directly using the Genode build system and add the created artifacts
into the system image as boot modules.

  import: <list of depot src or pkg archives>

This tag instructs Sculpt to supply the specifid depot-archive content
as boot modules to the system image. This change eliminates the need for
board-specific pkg/sculpt-<board> archives. The board-specific
specializations can now be placed directly into the respective .sculpt
files by using 'import:'.

To make the use of Sculpt as testbed during development more convenient,
the log output of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime subsystems
can be redirected to core using the optional 'LOG=core' argument, e.g.,

  make run/sculpt KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux LOG=core

The former pkg/sculpt-installation and pkg/sculpt-installation-pc
archives have been replaced by pkg/sculpt_distribution-pc, which
references the generic pkg/sculpt_distribution archive. Those pkgs are
solely used for publishing / distribution purposes.

88ca8d1a72 base: fix potential memory leak in allocator_avl
When used by the 'Allocator_avl' the slab allocator's backing store is
dynamically disabled and re-enabled while adding/freeing ranges.
However, during those operations, slab entries can be freed. This,
in turn, can result in the release of a slab block (when the freed slab
entry happens to be the last entry of the block). In this corner case,
'Slab::_release_backing_store' operation has no effect because no
backing-store allocator is set. As a result, the block is no longer
referenced but not physically freed.

The patch fixes the problem by skipping '_free_curr_sb' whenever
no backing store is defined. So the completely empty block remains
in the working set.

Thanks to Peter for reporting and fixing this issue!

f2dab083f6 os: Properly initialize File_system::Watch_handle.
This comes up when building the code with clang 13. It happens due to
recently enabled Wconversion warning, which in case of clang also
enables implicit-int-conversion warning. The warning reads:

  fs_file_system.h:937:44: error: higher order bits are zeroes after
  implicit conversion [-Werror,-Wimplicit-int-conversion]
                        ::File_system::Watch_handle fs_handle { -1U };
                                                    ~~~~~~~~~   ^~~

27b798fa4f base: Make int to access_t conversion explicit.
As far as I can tell this is not raised by any released GCC versions.
Clang 13 on the other hand warns about it due to implicit-int-conversion
warning which is automatically enabled together with Wconversion. The
problem is relatively simple, shifting access_t value does not always
produce result which is also of access_t type. For example, if access_t
is uint16_t, shifting it will produce integer result. This can be
observed even with GCC. Building the following C++ example will fail:

  #include <type_traits>
  #include <stdint.h>

  int test() {
      uint16_t a = 0xabcd;
      static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(a<<1), uint16_t>);
      return 0;
  }

Changing uint16_t in the static_assert to int, will allow the code to
build.

Make such int to access_t implicit conversion explicit to allow the code
to be compiled with both GCC and clang.

3cc6df3116 base: tighten affinity handling
This patch improves the robustness of the CPU-affinity handling.

- The types in base/affinity.h received the accessors
  'Location::within(space)' and 'Affinity::valid', which alleviates
  the fiddling with coordinates when sanity checking the values,
  in init or core.

- The 'Affinity::Location::valid' method got removed because its
  meaning was too vague. For sanity checks of affinity configurations,
  the new 'within' method is approriate. In cases where only the x,y
  values are used for selecting a physical CPU (during thread creation),
  the validity check (width*height > 0) was not meaningful anyway.

- The 'Affinity::Location::from_xml' requires a 'Affinity::Space'
  as argument because a location always relates to the bounds of
  a specific space. This function now implements the selection of
  whole rows or columns, which has previously a feature of the
  sandbox library only.

- Whenever the sandbox library (init) encounters an invalid affinity
  configuration, it prints a warning message as a diagnostic aid.

- A new 'Affinity::unrestricted' function constructs an affinity that
  covers the whole affinity space. The named functions clarifies
  the meaning over the previous use of the default constructor.

- Core's CPU service denies session requests with an invalid
  affinity parameter. Previously, it would fall back to an
  unrestricted affinity.

4f820cf1e5 prepare_ports: prevent execution of automake
This patch discharges the dependency of Makefile.in from Makefile.am
files whenever both files are present in a downloaded archive.

Being based on make, the trigger of running automake is based on the
timestamps for the extracted archive content. However, since we reset
the timestamps (via 'tar -m') at extraction time, no assumptions about
the timestamp relations between the extracted files can be made. In the
event automake is triggered, we are faced with the tool dependency from
a specific automake version on the host.

The patch enforces the unconditional use the 'Makefile.in' version
supplied by the archive.

643747b912 os: Refactor VirtIO::Queue implementation.
The key changes in this patch are:
* Buffer allocation is moved into a separate Buffer_pool helper. The
  implementation of the buffer allocation strategy does not change.
  The helper allocates a single RAM dataspace and splits it in multiple,
  equally sized chunks.
* Management of main descriptor ring is enacapsulated in Descriptor_ring
  helper class.
* Use separate RAM dataspaces for descriptor rings and buffers.
  Previously both of them were packed into a single dataspace. This
  might have been more RAM efficient, but IMO it made the code uglier and
  harder to understand.
* All of the VirtIO::Queue members are now initialized on the class member
  initializer list. This is possible due to previously listed changes.
* Since all VirtIO::Queue members are initalized on member initalizer
  list, some additional ones can be marked as const, ex _avail, _used ring
  pointers.
* Move descriptor writing code into a common method used by both
  write_data and write_data_read_reply members. This avoids some code
  duplication between those methods.
* Get rid of request_irq argument that most public VirtIO::Queue methods
  accept. None of the existing drivers use it and I doubt this will
  change any time soon.
* Use Genode namespace by default in Virtio.

This patch also fixes at least one bug that I discovered while working
on VirtIO block device driver. Namely, when chaining descriptors only the
first descriptor in the chain should be exposed in the available ring.

b1bbd72e84 net: fix tail size calculation in Ethernet_frame

162ddb1fdb virtio: fix len calculation
Thanks to Piotr Tworek for the fix and his explanation as follows:

The basic idea is to try to fit payload data into the descriptor used to
send the header. If there is no payload, or the payload fits exactly
into the remaining space in the header decriptor, len should be 0 and
only one descriptor should be used. In such case the "next" and "flags"
members of the descriptor structure should be set to 0.

In case there is some extra payload data to send, but its size is
bigger than the remaining free space in the descriptor used to send the
header, len should contain the remaining size of the payload that
can't be sent via the header descriptor. The code will then chain
additional descriptors to handle this remainder.

With the len variable shadowing, the code will never queue the remaining
data.

132e4fe815 platform_drv(arm): robust re-configuration support
This change of the inner working of the platform driver for ARM allows
clients to have permanent open sessions, as long as a policy node matches
the client. If devices disappear from the policy resp. from the set of
available devices (hotplug), the devices ROM of the session gets updated,
and a corresponding device session gets closed. If the device remains
untouched in the configuration but other devices appeared/disappeared, the
device session is not affected.

The requested guest-physical memory range may comprise multiple attached

suggests these semantics.

This commit can be seen as intermediate fix as a real fix should change

The commits avoids reading in and allocating memory for all potentially
threads, which are potentially currently not existent (but configured in the

is created and policy changes are solely applied to existing/running threads.
By this the commit avoids the increase of memory consumption during the
evaluation of policies during config ROM updates.

30b3ad218f virt_qemu: Use VirtIO fb driver instead of ramfb.

7c1888644a os: Add VirtIO framebuffer driver.
This implements the necessary bits to provide 2D framebuffer support on
top of VirtIO GPU device as implemented in Qemu. I don't know if any
other implementation of this specific device exists.

Compared to the ramfb driver which already exists in Genode Virtio FB driver
has one major benefit. It allows Qemu window to be dynamically resized at
runtime. The driver will treat this as resolution change and act accordingly.
Ramfb driver can currently only use the hardcoded 1024x768 screen size. Changing
screen resolution might not sound like a big deal, but it is rather useful to
run Genode on Qemu in full screen mode.

2ec9e69fd4 os: Add support for reading VirtIO responses.
Some more advanced devices like VirtIO GPU do expect they can receive
responses to VirtIO commands they issue via VirtIO queue. Such responses
are not sent via a separate device writeable queue. Instead the driver
is expected to queue some additional descriptors and buffers which the
device can then use to provide the reply.

This patch adds support for such write-data-read-response opeartion to
Genode VirtIO::Queue implementation. The implementation is pretty simple
and does not support any fancy features like receiving the response
asynchronously. Instead the operation will use caller provided callback
to wait for the device to process the command. Once this callback
returns the write-data-read-response VirtIO::Queue function will invoke
another callback passing received response as argument.

9591e6caee vbox6: CPU halt/wakeup via RTSEMEVENTMULTI
The former use of Pthread conditionals did not cover the corner case of
early wakeups just before halting the CPU. These wakeups were simply
lost which resulted in sporadic halts of about 500 ms (the maximum timeout
of all halts in VirtualBox). RTSEMEVENTMULTI preserves early wakeups
and effectively prevents the CPU from halting.

Additionally, we now wakeup the target CPU on VMMR0_DO_GVMM_SCHED_POLL
and, thus, mimic the behavior of the original implementation slightly
better,

f2a627c107 os: Pin_control and Pin_state session interfaces
The new interfaces are meant to gradually replace the existing
Gpio_session interface.

- Each session refers to a single pin.
- The session types distiguish the direction of the signal as input or
  output.
- Pin coordinates can be selected via session labels.
- GPIO interrupts are covered by the regular IRQ session interface.

The interfaces are accompanied by framework utilities and interfaces:

- os/pin_driver.h
- pin_control_session/component.h
- pin_state_session/component.h

These headers relieve GPIO drivers from implementing boilerplate code by
providing device-agnostic portions. The A64 pio driver serves as
reference for using those utilities.

Second, the default amount of memory for BOARD=pc was 512M (800M in case of okl4).
Since the depot_autopilot.run also required at least 768M on all
platforms it seems reasonable to take 800M as a default value for BOARD=pc and
thereby remove the special treatment of okl4.

c38c2a6455 cxx: missing operator delete with align_val_t arg
When rebasing my local branch on top of sculpt-21.10 tag I've noticed
two problems.

The code in new_delete.cc does not include new header file. This works
fine with GCC, but fails with clang because std::align_val_t type is
not defined anywhere according to clang. It looks like GCC pulls this
header indirectly somehow.

The second problem can be seen if one disallows undefined symbols in
executables and shared_libraries. This can be seen with both GCC and
clang by adding --no-undefined to LD_OPT. With such change in place core
fails to link due to:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: operator delete(void*, std::align_val_t)
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)
>>>               thread.o:(Kernel::Core_main_thread::~Core_main_thread()) in archive debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)
>>>               thread.o:(non-virtual thunk to Kernel::Core_main_thread::~Core_main_thread()) in archive debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a
>>> did you mean: operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)
>>> defined in: debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a(supc++.o)

If the code would somehow manage call such undefined symbol it'd crash.
Since I generally prefer link time failures to runtime crashes I link
all genode binaries with --no-undefined.

To fix this problem just add a dummy implementation of missing delete
operator.

ee463b21ae nitpicker: fix interplay of hover with dragging
This patch extends the notion of having only one uniquely hovered client
in the presence of held keys.

If motion occurs once a key is pressed (e.g., while dragging), the
receiver of the key sequence observes the motion events. In this case,
we have to submit an artificial leave event to the originally hovered
client so that no more than one client observes itself as being hovered
at the same time. Once the key sequence is finished, the hovering is
updated again, eventually presenting a motion event to the originally
hovered client and a leave event to the receiver of the key sequence.

6f1d3862cd base: introduce Env::try_session
The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.

By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.

eb80d6ce66 usb_webcam: on/off dependent on capture client
This commit removes the report service from the usb_webcam pkg, which
was used to enable or disable the webcam driver. The on/off state is
instead controlled by the presence of a capture client. That is, once a
capture client appears, the webcam driver is started. Vice versa, once
no capture client exists, the webcam driver is removed automatically.

Internally, the detection of presence of a capture client is based on
nitpicker's 'displays' report, which is consumed as input of the
rom_filter, which in turn generates the configuration of a dynamic sub
init.

6093f8ad81 gpu/intel: deal with insufficient amount of CAPS
'Out_of_ram' was so far the only exception a client had to deal with
during buffer managment. Allocating memory, however, does not only
consume RAM quota but CAP quota as well.

This commit tries to mitigate that shortcoming by reflecting the
'Out_of_caps' state back to the client. Furthermore it allows for
resource accounting on certain client allocations, e.g. buffers.

27e55dab3e platform_drv: check quota before allocating buffer
The platform driver uses a 'Constrained_ram_allocator' to allocate
meta-data on behave of a client. It uses the PD session as
'Ram_allocator' back end that in return is implemented via the
'Expanding_pd_session_client'.

Whenever the PD client itselft comes into resource shortage it will
ask its parent unconditionally. However, depending on the integration,
such a request may be left unanswered.

This commit introduces a check to prevent that situation from
occurring. In case the platform driver notices the resource shortage
it will reflect that back to the client.

a2d2b874ec vfs/cbe_trust_anchor: sync keyfile-handle close
Closing the keyfile handle after a write operation wasn't synchronised to the
actual end of the write operation.

Issuing a write operation at the back end returns successfull as soon as the
back end has acknowledged that it will execute the operation. However, the
actual writing of the data might still be in progress at this point. But the
plugin used to close the file handle and declare the operation finished at this
point which led to warnings about acks on unknown file handles and leaking
resources. Now, the plugin issues a sync operation directly after the write
operation and waits for the sync to complete. This ensures that the plugin
doesn't declare the operation finished too early.

9542bcf88c base-hw: reduce includes in board.h
The includes for the address-space-ID allocator and the translation table are
usually specific to the CPU in use. Therefore these includes can be moved from
their current location in the board header to the CPU headers. This reduces the
number of decisions a board maintainer has to make if the CPU model he's aiming
for is already available.

This can probably also be applied for other includes in the board headers but I
intentionally leave it for a future commit as I don't have the time to do it
all now.

ad059362d2 base-hw: reduce hardware-specific include paths
For base-hw Core, we used to add quite some hardware-specific include paths
to 'INC_DIR'. Generic code used to include, for instance, '<cpu.h>' and
'<translation_table.h>' using these implicit path resolutions. This commit
removes hardware-specific include paths except for

1) the '<board.h>' include paths (e.g., 'src/core/board/pbxa9'),
2) most architecture-specific include paths (e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm_v7'),
3) include paths that reflect usage of virtualization or ARM Trustzone
   (e.g., 'src/core/spec/arm/virtualization').

The first category is kept because, in contrast to the former "spec"-mechanism,
the board variable used for this type of resolution is not deprecated and the
board headers are meant to be the front end of hardware-specific headers
towards generic code which is why they must be available generically via
'<board.h>'.

The second category is kept because it was suggested by other maintainers that
simple arch-dependent headers (like for the declaration of a CPU state) should
not imply the inclusion of the whole '<board.h>' and because the architecture
is given also without the former "spec"-mechanism through the type of the build
directory. I think this is questionable but am fine with it.

The third category is kept because the whole way of saying whether
virtualization resp. ARM Trustzone is used is done in an out-dated manner and
changing it now would blow up this commit a lot and exceed the time that I'm
willing to spend. This category should be subject to a future issue.

49b09702b8 base-hw: don't include board.h from hardw. headers
The 'src/core/board/<board>/board.h' header is thought as front end of
hardware-specific headers of a given board towards the generic base-hw Core
code. Therefore it leads to problems (circular includes) if the board.h header
is included from within another hardware-specific header.

If hardware-specific headers access declarations from namespace Board in a
definition, the definition should be moved to a compilation unit that may
include board.h. If hardware-specific headers access declarations from board.h
in a declaration, they should either use the primary declaration from the
original header or, if the declaration must be selected according to the board,
another board-specific header should be introduced to reflect this abstraction.

This is applied by this commit for the current state of base-hw.

82cf31ac27 base-hw: introduce Kernel::Main class
This commit introduces the Kernel::Main class that replaces the former way of
initializing the kernel (former 'kernel_init' function) and calling the C++
kernel entry handler (former 'kernel' function). These two are now
'Main::initialize_and_handle_kernel_entry' and 'Main::handle_kernel_entry'.
Also reading the execution time of the idle threads was already moved to
'Main'. The one static Main instance is meant to successivly replace all the
global static objects of the base-hw kernel with data members of the Main
instance making the data model of the kernel much more comprehensible. The
instance and most of its interface are hidden in kernel/main.cc. There are only
rare cases where parts of the Main interface must be accessible from the
outside. This should be done in the most specific way possible (see main.h)
and, if possible, without handing out references to Main data members or the

693a2b5421 base-hw: get rid of cpu_pool() in platform.cc
The function was only still used for reading the execution time of idle threads
of CPUs. Certainly, it is technically fine and more performant to read these
values directly from the kernel objects without doing a syscall. However,
calling cpu_pool() for it provides read and write access to a lot more than
only the execution time values. The interface via which Core directly reads
state of the kernel should be as narrow and specific as possible.
Perspectively, we want to get rid of the cpu_pool() accessor anyway. Therefore
this commit introduces Kernel::read_idle_thread_execution_time(cpu_idx) as
replacement. The function is implemented in kernel code and called by Core in
platform.cc.

8b69bc96f9 base-hw: separate variants of Kernel_object(...)
For the constructor of Kernel_object<T> there are two variants. One for the
case that it is called from Core where the kernel object (type T) must be
created via a syscall and one when it is called from within the kernel and the
kernel object can be created directly. Selecting one of these variants was done
using a bool argument to the constructor. However, this implies that the
constructor of Kernel_object<T> and that of T have the same signature in the
variadic arguments, even in the syscall case, although technically it would
then not be necessary.

This becomes a problem as soon as kernel objects created by Core shall receive
additional arguments from the kernel, for instance a reference to the global
CPU pool, and therefore stands in the way when wanting to get rid of global
statics in the kernel. Therefore, this commit introduces two constructors that
are selected through enum arguments:

! Kernel_object(Called_from_kernel, ...);
! Kernel_object(Called_from_core, ...);

90e151e2c4 gpu: add 'complete' RPC call
This call allows for checking if the given execution buffer has been
completed and complements the completion signal. Initially the GPU
multiplexer always sent such a signal when the currently scheduled
execution buffer has been completed. During enablement of the 'iris'
driver it became necessary to properly check of sequence number.

In case of the Intel GPU multiplexer the sequence numbers are
continous, which prompted the greater-than-or-equal check in the
DRM back end. By hidding this implementation detail behind the
interface, GPU drivers are free to deal with sequence numbers any
way they like and allows for polling in the client, where the
completion signal is now more of a progress signal.

  * The information differs depending on the used GPU device and
    in its current implementation only contains Intel GPU specific
    details

With this commit the 'info' RPC call is replaced with the
'info_dataspace' call that transfers the capability for the dataspace
containing the information only. This is complemented by a client
local 'attached_info' call that allows for getting typed access to
the information. The layout of the information is moved to its own

60980045ea virtio_nic: Increase default TX & RX virtqueue sizes.
32KB is a rather small value. The driver can cope with it now, but
it does not perform as well as it should. This visible especially
in scenarions like nic_router_flood where we still often hit
synchronous wait path. Bump the size to 256kB.

880cd3a490 virtio_nic: Fix packet transmission handling.
The problem can be seen when running nic_router_flood scenarion on arm
qemu_virt boards. With the amount of data this scenario tries to send
the driver quickly complains it has failed to push data into TX VirtIO
queue. After this warning message is printed nothing really happens and
after a while the test scenario fails.

The fact that we can't write all available data to the device is not
unexpected. VirtIO queue size is slected at initialization time and we
don't change it during driver lifetime. It can be tweaked via driver
config, but this does not change the fact that we'll always be able to
produce more data packets than we have free space in the VirtIO queue.

IMO the expected behavior of the driver in such case should be to:
1. Notify the device there is data to process.
2. Wait for the device to process at least part of it.
3. Retry sending queued packets.

One could expect returning Transmit_result::RETRY from _drv_transmit_pkt
would produce such result. Unfortunately it seems that Uplink_client_base
treats RETRY return value as indication of link being down. It'll retry
sending the packet only after the device notifies it the link is once
again up. This is the reason why nothing happens when running
nic_router_flood on top of virtio_nic driver. The link never goes down
in this case so once we fill the TX VirtIO queue and tell the base class
to retry the send, we'll be stuck waiting for link up change event
which will never arrive.

To fix this problem, when sending a packet to the device fails, do a
synchrnonus TX VirtIO queue flush (tell device there is data to process
and wait until its done with it).

With this fix in place nic_router_flood test scenario passes on both arm
qemu_virt boards.

c0a7696c71 tool/dts/extract: convert regex strings to latin1
The former encoding was UTF-8, which works quite well if LC_CTYPE is
ensured to be an UTF-8 codeset (e.g., en_US.UTF-8 or C.UTF-8 . But, if
LC_CTYPE is set to C or latin1 for example, the Tcl regex library enters
an infinite loop because of unexpected characters used as markers
n the strings (e.g., SECTION SIGN U+00A7).

Therefore, the extract tool was converted to latin1 with the following
commands and now works for LC_CTYPE C and UTF-8 codesets.

   iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1 tool/dts/extract > /tmp/e

3daa94ff2e gpu/intel: Add support for Gen9+
This commit contains features and buf fixes:

* Catch errors during resource allocation

* Because Mesa tries to allocate fence (hardware) registers for each
  batch buffer execution, do not allocate new fences for buffer objects
  that are already fenced

* Add support for global hardware status page. Each context additionally
  has a per-process hardware status page, which we used to set the
  global hardware status page during Vgpu switch. This was obviously
  wrong. There is only one global hardware status page (set once during
  initialization) and a distinct per-process page for contexts.

* Write the sequence number of the currently executing batch buffer to
  dword 52 of the per-process hardware status page. We use the pipe line
  command with QW_WRITE (quad word write), GLOBAL_GTT_IVB disabled
  (address space is per-process address space), and STORE_DATA_INDEX
  enabled (write goes to offset of hardware status page). This command
  used to write to the scratch page. But Linux now uses the first
  reserved word of the per-process hardware status page.

* Add Gen9+ WaEnableGapsTsvCreditFix workaround. This sets the "GAPS TSV
  Credit fix Enable" bit of the Arbiter control register (GARBCNTLREG)
  as described by the documentation this bit should be set by the BIOS
  but is not on most Gen9/9.5 platforms. Not setting this bit leads to
  random GPU hangs.

* Increase the context size from 20 to 22 pages for Gen9. On Gen8 the
  hardware context is 20 pages (1 hardware status page + 19 ring context
  register pages). On Gen9 the size of the ring context registers has
  increased by two pages to 21 pages or 81.3125 KBytes as the IGD
  documentation states.

* The logical ring size in the ring buffer control of the execlist
  context has to be programmed with number of pages - 1. So 0 is 1 page.
  We programmed the actual number of pages before, leading to ring
  buffer execution of NOOPs if page behind our ring buffer was empty or
  GPU hangs if there was data on the page.

f1b72d0281 cxx: define delete operator with alignm. arg
Using 'alignas' in declarations might cause GCC to request for an
implementation of 'operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)'
although it might actually never be called. This commit adds a dummy
implementation to 'cxx/new_delete.cc' that does nothing more than printing an
error to the log that a proper implementation is missing. This approach is
coherent with our treatment of other global delete operators.

ebd140cacb reconstructible: respect alignment of payload
If one has an object X that has a minimum alignment requirement specified
through 'alignas' this requirement is normally inherited by objects that have
object X as member, and by those that have objects as member that have X as
member, and so on... . However, this chain used to get silently interrupted
(dropping the minimum alignment requirement to 8 again) at objects that are
managed with Genode::Reconstructible or Genode::Constructible. In order to fix
this, the commit ensures that Genode::Reconstructible (and therefore also
Genode::Constructible) has at least the minimum alignment requirement (using
'alignas') as the object it manages.

  res = kcalloc(cell->num_resources, sizeof(*res), GFP_KERNEL);

Since 'res' is checked against NULL for success, kmalloc must not return
a NULL pointer in this case. The patch works around this issue by
forcing an allocation size of 1 byte in this case.

29032caf40 lx_emul: support CLK_OF_DECLARE initcall mechanism
Clock providers such as drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun8i-r.c don't use
regular init calls but declare their init functions via CLK_OF_DECLARE,
which fill the __clk_of_table. Linux populates the table statically by
using special sections declared in the linker script. In contrast, we
populate the table by expanding the macro to global constructor
functions.

The __clk_of_table is then processed by the call of of_clk_init(NULL).

812fdec27c nic_router: propagate dns domain name via dhcp
With this commit, the NIC router DHCP client reads out the first DNS domain
name (DHCP option 15) if any from a DHCP reply that generates an IPv4 config
for a domain and stores the name together with the IPv4 config for that domain.
DNS domain names are reported via the new report tag '<dns-domain>' if the
'config' attribute in the config tag '<report>' is set.

Furthermore, the NIC router DHCP server becomes able to obtain a DNS domain
name from another domain that has a DHCP client dynamically (given the config
attribute 'dns_config_from' is set and no static DNS config is given) or
statically from its configuration (new config tag '<dns-domain>') and propagate
this name with DHCP replies (DHCP option 15).

The 'nic_router_dhcp_*' tests are adapted to test the new feautures.

The commit also gets rid of some mirrored files in
'test/nic_router_dhcp/manager'.

fa64aae7f8 nic_router: config attribute 'dns_config_from'
WARNING: BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY!

This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!

How to adjust:
At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The attribute
value remains unaltered.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The new attribute name 'dns_config_from' reflects that also other aspects of
the DNS configuration of the denominated domain are used by the DHCP server
that holds the attribute. This commit is a preparation for forwarding also the
domain name (DHCP option 15) with the mechanism behind the attribute.

1111472af7 nic_router: make Ipv4_config a class
The fact that the IPv4 config was a struct with all data members public was a
mere leftover of an early state of the NIC router. Today, the router
implementation style is to avoid structs and public data members wherever
possible.

This commit slightly changes the behavior of the router regarding log output.
The router used to print malformed IPv4 configurations to the log only if
the 'verbose' config flag was set using this style:

! [my_domain] malformed dynamic IP config: interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...

Now, malformed IPv4 configurations are only printed if the
'verbose_domain_state' config flag is set (like with any IP4v configuration
states) using this style:

! [my_domain] dynamic IP config: malformed (interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...)

e648e7255a nic_router: optional icmp type 3 on fragm. ipv4
Via a new configuration attribute, the user can decide whether the router
should answer dropped fragmented IPv4 with an ICMP "destination unreachable"
packet and, if so, which value the ICMP code field of this packet should have.
The default is that the router doesn't send such responses (silently dropping
fragmented IPv4). The behavior is tested by the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.

619474bc90 nic_router: drop fragmented IPv4
The NIC router used to ignore the IPv4 header fields "More fragments" and
"Fragment offset" completely. Therefore higher-level protocols of fragmented
IPv4 were interpreted wrong because each fragment was considered a self-
standing packet, expecting, for instance UDP/TCP headers somewhere inside of
the UDP/TCP data field. Normally, such packets were dropped as soon as the
UDP/TCP checksum check failed because of the misinterpretation. However,
it was also possible for fragmented IPv4 to pass the router although normally
only partially.

IPv4 fragmentation support in the router would introduce some potential
security risks and is presumably not an easy endeavor. So, for now, we settled
on not supporting IPv4 fragmentation. With this commit, the router simply drops
all fragmented IPv4. This is reflected to the log for each fragment as "drop
packet (fragmented IPv4 not supported)" when 'verbose_packet_drop="yes"' is
configured.

The new test 'run/nic_router_ipv4_fragm' is an automated test for this
behavior. The test is added to the autopilot list.

2533d7b4b6 vfs/fatfs: cleanup implementation
- remove redundant file system factory

- remove dead code block

  The code was guarded by preprocessor directives checking whether the
  contrib code define "_USE_MKFS" is 1. As "_USE_MKFS" is not set one
  for our port of FAT, the code was never executed and can be removed.

- remove uneffective config attributes

  Apparently, the former XML attributes to the plugin 'drive' and
  'codepage' had no effect. I tested them in a scenario with the VFS
  block server on a disk-image boot-module as back end. Regardless of
  the 'drive' value, the block session label was always "0". Regardless
  of the 'codepage' value, the FAT on the disk image succeeded to mount
  when not using '--codepage' for 'mkfs.fat' and failed to mount when
  using '--codepage' to specify a supported but foreign codepage for
  'mkfs.fat' (e.g. "720").

60c8369718 lib/fatfs: get rid of global static constructors
There was one global static constructor:

! namespace Fatfs { static Constructible<Platform> _platform; }

This caused applications that used the lib or the <fatfs> VFS plugin to end up
in an uncaught exception due to Genode::Component complaining that method
'construct' returned without executing pending static constructors if they
didn't call Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().

As the use of Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors() is discouraged in Genode,
this commit rather moves the '_platform' object to the scope of the
initializing function and introduces a global static pointer to the object that
gets set by the initializing function. Although this prevents the exception, it
is, technically speaking even worse than the former solution as the new pointer
isn't checked for validity in contrast to the 'Constructible' object.

However, so far, I don't see a clean solution to this problem without the need
for Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().

f8953de7ac nic_router: replace term "uplink" with "NIC client"
BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY:
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!

HOW TO ADJUST:
At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays the
same.

The term "uplink" for network interfaces in the router that have a NIC session
client as back end was introduced in a time when Uplink sessions didn't yet
exist. Now, they do and, although both an uplink and an Uplink session
normally describe a network session between router and network device driver,
they are based on two different service types (NIC and Uplink). This can easily
cause confusion when integrating the router (the <uplink> is not related to
Uplink sessions) or trying to understand its functioning (an 'Uplink' object
has nothing to do with the Uplink service).

Therefore, this commit introduces the more specific term "NIC client" for an
interface that is based on a NIC session requested by the router. This doesn't
imply any semantic changes at the NIC router. However, the commit also brings a
broader update of the router's README and removes the term "downlink" that was
used only in documentation to refer to interfaces backed by a NIC session
provided by the router. The term was only associated with this meaning because
it is the natural counterpart to an uplink. This isn't appropriate anymore as
the terms for interface types have moved to a more technical level.

The commit adjusts all scenarios in the basic Genode repositories properly.

8bc861ca71 nic_router: do not re-use ARP request as reply
So far, in order to create an ARP reply, the NIC router merely created a copy
of the corresponding ARP request and modified only those values that differ.
This approach has the disadvantage of re-using bad parameters from a broken
request. The specific use-case that made this visible was an early version of
the Pine board network driver that used to forward ARP requests with a greater
size than required. The ARP replies of the router re-used this size and
confused other network nodes with that. In general, the NIC router should
rely on the data of incoming packets the least possible. Therefore, with this
commit, the router creates a new ARP reply from scratch and uses only those
values required from the corresponding ARP request.

A too large packet size becomes a problem for large MTUs. With a maximum
MTU of 1500, adding ETH_HLEN twice will lead to a packet size of 1528.

45f5ed173a tool/run: use [board] for naming driver packages
This patch replaces the enumeration of boards in the drivers_nic_pkg and

5138aeba80 libc: fix nested monitor call in 'symlink'
The symlink implementation wrongly constructed a 'Sync' object within
the context of a monitor call. The 'Sync' constructor indirectly
depended on libc I/O for obtaining the current time, ultimately
resulting in a nested attempt of a monitor call. This could be
reproduced via the base.run script:

  $ cd /home
  $ ln -s a b

The 'ln' command resulted in the following log message:

  [init -> /bin/bash -> 7] Error: deadlock ahead, mutex=0x10ff8c70, return ip=0x500583a7

The patch fixes the problem by splitting the single monitor call into
two monitor calls and moving the construction of the 'Sync' object
in-between both monitor calls, thereby executing the constructor at the
libc application level.

688379d1ed sel4: fix segmentation fault with CCACHE=yes
Building the elfloader in kernel-sel4.inc has a problem with Genodes CCACHE
make variable. When issuing ...

! ./tool/depot/create mstein/bin/*/base-sel4-* CCACHE=yes

..., building the elfloader used to consume all memory of the host system and
then run into a segmentation fault:

! make[6]: *** [elfloader/elfloader.o] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is because the other build system invokes the CCACHE variable as a command
in front of the compiler command. If CCACHE is set to 'yes', the 'yes' command
is called and produces an endless output into some output file. The problem
can be fixed by locally re-setting the CCACHE variable for the
'make ... elfloader' command to 'ccache' (Genode CCACHE==yes) or '' (Genode
CCACHE!=yes).

0074a7c4ac tool/depot: fix forwarding of CCACHE
The depot tool 'build_bin_archive' used to ask only whether CCACHE is empty or
not and, if it wasn't empty, the tool added 'CCACHE := yes' to the build.conf
of the temporary build dir. This caused the sub-build processes to use ccache
even when the top-level CCACHE variable was set to a bogus value.

Also adds documentation of the CCACHE variable to the help message of the
'build' and 'build_bin_archive' tool.

2d017ad7b7 nic_router: guard against exception in free_ip
Adds try-catch-statement with diagnostic errors in Dhcp_server::free_ip in
order to guard against exceptions from the underlying bit allocator. These
exceptions should never happen given that the router is programmed correctly
and always feeds Dhcp_server::free_ip with sane arguments (which it should).
However, should this not be the case, we can assume that the failed IP freeing
indicates that the IP isn't allocated anyway and it's fine to continue using
the router. Furthermore, IP allocations are a mere client service and not
relevant for the integrity or safety of the router.

be644098d7 nic_router: fix exc. in Interface::handle_config_3
When Interface::handle_config_3 (third step of applying a new configuration to
interfaces) tried to detach the interface from the current IP config because
the old and new IP config differed, it did so using the new domain. The former
steps of the reconfiguration already installed the new domain reference at the
interface. Therefore, also the DHCP server of the new domain was used. This,
however caused uncaught exceptions because detaching from an IP config
includes dissolving all DHCP allocations. This dissolving of DHCP allocations
now operated on a DHCP server (the one of the new domain) that wasn't related
to the allocations and, in the worst case, caused an uncaught exception
because the IPs were out of its range.

That said, this commit ensures that detaching an interface from an IP config
is always done on the domain from which the IP config originated. Normally,
this is the domain the interface is attached to. But in the case of
Interface::handle_config_3, it is another - the former domain the interface
was attached to.

The commit also adapts the nic_router_dhcp_* tests in a way that they
reconfigure the router in a way that would trigger the uncaught exception
without the fix.

ff128df131 dde_linux/fec: fix unsynchronized TX DMA write
Unfortunately, our current implementation of 'wmb()' doesn't seem to do what we
want it to do. On base-hw + imx6q_sabrelite, the write of bdp->cbd_sc seems to
get re-ordered after the write to txq->bd.reg_desc_active in the transmission
path of the contrib code. Due to this, the transmission of the packet is only
triggered the next time a packet is sent. However, we only quick-fix it by
enforcing the execution of the write with a volatile global read as we will
soon update the FEC NIC port with a new DDE approach anyway.

Guests are easily confused by spurious KEY_CAPSLOCK input events in

is not pressed as first key in a combination and, therefore, is not

explicitly, but let it pass in non-ROM mode.

Per default RAW mode is used and CapsLock key events are sent unfiltered
to the guest.

28189ba77a tool: simplify initcall order extraction
The new tool `extract_initcall_order` generates a header file out of a
Linux kernel build, which provides a sorted array with the initcall function
names of the kernel build. The order states the order in which the initcall
have to be called. It gets extrated out of the Linux kernel System.map.

A reset domain can consist of one or several reset-pins

When the device gets acquired via the Platform RPC API,
the pins are de-asserted, and asserted again when the
device gets released.

A configuration looks like the following:

  <device name="mipi_dsi>
    <reset-domain name="mipi_dsi_pclk"/>

  Since an ethernet header is 14 bytes network drivers often end up with
  the IP header at an unaligned offset. The IP header can be aligned by
  shifting the start of the packet by 2 bytes. Drivers should do this
  with:

  skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);

This is ensured when using netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().

139a2cfae9 tool: use local LC_ALL=C instead of LC_COLLATE=C
We used to export 'LC_COLLATE=C' for the environment of Genode tools. This was
meant to ensure that sorting is always done C-style and not dependent on the
users locale settings. This is required, for instance, to ensure that the same
archive always yields the same hash.

However, 'export LC_COLLATE=C' is not sufficient. It can be outruled by an
'LC_ALL' setting in the users environment. The manual of 'sort' recommends to
set 'LC_ALL=C' locally if you want reliable results and this is what this
commit does. Furthermore it removes the former 'export LC_COLLATE=C'
directives.

Note that I couldn't find a way to set 'LC_ALL' local to 'exec ... sort' in
TCL. This is why I set it global instead using TCLs 'env' array.

Note that the Make directive '$(sort ...)' and the TCL directive 'lsort',
unlike the Shell directive 'sort', are not affected by the users locale
settings.

a4115cfea9 base-linux: discharge timestamp on AARCH64
The kernel-agnostic 'Trace::timestamp' function for arm_64 executes the
'mrs %0, pmccntr_el0' instruction, which is not permitted for user-level
programs on Linux. This patch shadows the generic timestamp.h header
with dummy that returns zero. This return value prompts the timeout
framework to disable the interpolation of time based on timestamps. This
avoid the illegal-instruction abort but comes with two llimitations:

First, time measurements are effectlively limited to a granulariry of 1
millisecond (deliberately constrained by the timer driver).

The quirk is applied when using the base-linux API. Should a generic
application (that uses the base API only) call 'Trace::timestamp'
directly, the illegal instruction is executed.

- The link order of the host libraries linked to lx_hybrid

  because the other libraries depend on symbols provided by
  libgcc.

- When using AARCH64 Linux as host, one can execute run scripts
  via 'make run/<script> KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux' now.

fdb1a4dd88 base-linux: avoid legacy syscalls
Until now, Genode's Linux system call bindings were based on original
Unix system calls that were later superseded by more flexibile variants.
E.g., 'openat' is a modern version of 'open'. Even though Linux upholds
the compatiblity with the original versions for existing architectures
like x86, the legacy syscalls are absent for the recently added AARCH64
architecture. A good overview of the system calls accross the prominent
architectures can be found at

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/constants/syscalls.md

This patch updates Genode's syscall bindings to avoid legacy versions,
thereby easing the support for AARCH64. The used "modern" versions
were introduced back in Linux version 2 days. So we are fine to rely
on them.

The patch slightly changes the signature for lx_stat because this system
call is merely used to check for the existance of a file and its size.
The new name 'lx_stat_size' draws a closer connection to its use case.
That said, the stat syscall has not been updated to the modern statx
since statx is still a fairly recent addition.

d477062c56 base-linux: simplify clone syscall binding
This patch simplifies the use of the clone system call for creating
processes and threads. Until now, the binding used an opaque pointer
argument to pass context information to the newly created process or
thread. However, upon close inspection, this is not a strict
requirement.

A newly created thread accesses its contextual information by
using its stack pointer as key. The pointer argument is not used.

The creation of processes is strictly serialized because the
intermediate stack used in-between clone and execve is a global
variable. Since we rely on the serialization anyway, we can pass the
context information of a new process via a global variable as well.

This change simplifies the syscall binding for the upcoming AARCH64
support, which would otherwise require us to deal with the notion
of TLS on Linux.

49184fb938 net: circumvent stringop-overflow error
With the update to GCC 10, the compiler stopped with an error when compiling
places where a MAC address is copied from outside into a packed object using
the Net::Netaddress::copy method (e.g. in
Net::Arp_packet::dst_mac(Mac_address)):

! error: writing 6 bytes into a region of size 4 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]

While trying to find a clean solution for this error, I found posts on
gcc.gnu.org and github that stated that the size calculations that cause these
errors are incorrect. Indeed, I could verify that the actual size of the two
regions was static and exactly the same in places were the error occured.

Furthermore, I couldn't find a way of making it more clear to the compiler
that the sizes are the same. By accident, we found that using the address of
the first element of the array that forms the second region instead of the
array address itself, somehow circumvents the error.

52e8c95321 net: fix packed-conversion compiler warning
With the update to GCC 10 the compiler used to warn when using the internet
checksum functions on packet classes (like in
Net::Ipv4_packet::update_checksum):

warning: converting a packed ‘Net::[PACKET_CLASS]’ pointer
         (alignment 1) to a ‘const uint16_t’ {aka ‘const short
         unsigned int’} pointer (alignment 2) may result in an
         unaligned pointer value

Apparently, the 'packed' attribute normally used on packet classes sets the
alignment of the packet class to 1. However, for the purpose of the
internet-checksum functions, we can assume that the packet data has no
alignment. This is expressed by casting the packet-object pointer to a pointer
of the new packed helper struct 'Packed_uint16' that contains only a single
uint16_t member before handing it over to the checksum function (instead of
casting it to a uint16_t pointer).

4e822436fc nic_router: use increasing src port for new nat
The NAT feature of the NIC router used to prefer re-using source ports that
have been freed recently. From an external server's perspective, if a client
dies and restarts, chances are high that the new connect arrives with the same
source-IP/source-port as the old connection. The server has to forcefully reset
the connection. If that happens a lot, the server may even start to ignore
further connections from this IP/port combination for a while as a mitigation.

This patch adds a continuous counter feature that makes sure that every new
port allocation will increment and result in a port that hasn't been used for a
long time.

The NAT feature of the nic_router is now more in line with RFC 6056 chapter 4.

which is used by pthread.0. The two buffers are swapped protected by a mutex

9cb8c37e3a terminal: fix sporadic freeze on font-size changes
The direct execution of application-level code by a watch handler is
troublesome because those handlers are executed at the I/O signal level.
In the concrete case, the watch handler got recursively called because
the handler called _handle_config (application-code), which called the
VFS, which in turn performed a wait_and_dispatch_one_io_signal, which
again invoked the watch handler.

The patch works around the problem by letting the watch notification
trigger the application-level signal for the _config_handler.

[init -> terminal] Error: Component::construct() returned without executing
                          pending static constructors (fix by calling
                          Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors())
[init -> terminal] Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Linker::Fatal'

In this case, the libc-less terminal uses the VFS. The VFS mounts the
ttf VFS plugin. The ttf VFS plugin depends on the libc.

The compilation unit 'arm_initfini.c' can safely be excluded because it
merely initializes the global '_libc_arm_fpu_present' variable, which
is not used by the current version of our libc/libm.

dc8c899c1d Streamline platform-device API on ARM
This API rework eases the access to memory-mapped I/O registers and
interrupts when using the platform driver. It introduces the notions of

- Platform::Device       - one device obtained from a platform session
- Platform::Device::Mmio - locally-mapped MMIO registers of a device
- Platform::Device::Irq  - interface for receiving device interrupts

The patch touches several drivers. Some drivers would require a
significant structural change to adopt the new API (e.g., net/virtio,
dde_linux drivers, imx gpio). In these cases, the patch adds
compatibility shims meant to be temporary. In other cases (e.g., imx
i2c), the adaptation was simple enough to carry through.

80cf47d906 ldso: protect object list with mutex
When we allowed symbol resolution during exceptions, we used the shared
object lock to protect ELF object list manipulation (e.g., dlopen,
dclose) when executing exception unwinding code in the linker.
Unfortunately, sometimes libraries that are loaded by 'dlopen' may raise
exceptions in the process, leading to a deadlock within the unwind code.
In order to resolve this, we now protect the object list operations
(i.e., enqueue, removal, iteration) by a separate mutex. This allows
the shared object interface to throw exceptions.

0339318572 platform_session: cache arg for alloc_dma_buffer
This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface
with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by
'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the
hood.

Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA
buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED
argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the
allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints
(by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can
revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should
generally be fine on the x86 architecture.

b661459aca sandbox/init: parse config using 'List_model'
This commit replaces the hand-crafted config processing by the use of
the 'List_model' utility. This has the following advantages:

- The parsing follows a common formalism that makes the code
  easier to maintain and to understand. Several parts of the code
  had to be changed (for the better) to make it fit the list model
  approach. E.g., the child states have become more expressive
  and logical.

- In the common case, the XML data is traversed only once, which
  increases the parsing speed in dynamic scenarios.

- The code becomes easier to optimize. In particular, the patch skips
  the re-evaluation of the session routing if no service is affected
  by the config change.

The patch also revisits the init test by removing overly long sleep
phases and extending a few sleep phases that were too short when
executing the test on Qemu.

698f6eb86c gdb_monitor: weaken reliance on sandbox internals
GDB monitor re-uses internal parts of the sandbox library. It thereby
relies on the internal detail of how local headers are included (using

"init/sandbox: avoid repetitive state reports" eventually broke the
build of the GDB monitor.

This patch makes the GDB monitor less reliant on the way of how the
sandbox includes headers internally.

It also fixes a few warnings caused by the double definition of
__GENODE__ (adding an missing include guard and making the #define
conditional).

49481dd3fb timer: restore semantics of periodic timeout 0
The 'Timer::Session::trigger_periodic' RPC function used to accept 0 as
a way to de-schedule the periodic processing. Several components such as
nitpicker relied on this special case. In "timeout: rework timeout
framework", the value of zero was silently clamped to 1, which has the
opposite effect: triggering signals at the maximum rate. This results in
a visible effect in Sculpt where the leitzentrale-nitpicker instance
produces a constant load of 2% CPU time.

This patch restores the original timer semantics by

- Documenting it in timer_session.h,

- Handling the case explicitly in the timer implementation, and

- Replacing the silent clamping of the unexpected value 0 passed
  to the timeout framework by a diagnostic error message.

96cc660f95 sculpt: system reset via PS/2 and ACPI
This patch enables sculpt to utilize the CPU reset mechanism via the
PS/2 controller as well as the information provided via the ACPI FADT
information. Whenever the /config/system file is changed to <system
state="reset"/>, both mechanisms are triggered.

Supporting both mechanisms is useful because the PS/2-based reset does
not work reliably on modern machines. The PS/2-based reset is useful in
the case when the FADT reset information refers to the PS/2 command
port. In this case, the platform driver is unable to access this port
because it is already handed out to the PS/2 driver. In this case, the
PS/2 driver kicks in.

27527bf165 wm: allow clients to upgrade session caps
This patch adds the handling neccessary for clients to upgrade the cap
quota of their GUI session. Until now, the upgrade mechanism supported
only RAM quota.

The limitation became visible once a client - in the particular case the
motif_decorator - attempted the cap upgrade of its GUI session. The cap
quota would arrive at the wm, but the wm would keep it instead of
forwarding the quota to nitpicker. This resulted in an infinite retry
loop at the motif_decorator, ultimatedly depleting all its cap quota.

f839b3ecba wm: make hover handling robust against input races
The window manager infers the overall state from the intercepted input
events for the decorator and all GUI clients. However, each of those
parties have an independent input-event stream. Whereas the order of
events within one GUI session is strict, the order of events between GUI
sessions is arbitrary. The window manager wrongly relied on a global
event ordering to track the pointed-at GUI session.

The patch removes the assumption of a global event order by tracking the
relevant pointer state for each GUI session independently and evaluating
these states when propagating the pointer position to the decorator.

8ecc258d3f sculpt: introduce runtime priorities
This patch adds 4 priority levels to the runtime subsystem. The highest
priority is used for components that are critical for the operation of
Sculpt, in particular the Leitzentrale GUI. All regularly deployed
components are assigned the lowest priority by default.

With priorities available in the runtime subsystem, this patch flattens
the priority levels at the top-level init to only two levels and
overlays the priority bands of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime
subsystems into one priority band. This has three benenfits:

- This change prevents the starvation of the Leitzentrale GUI from a
  spinning high-priority driver (issue #3997).

- The change will also ease the hosting of latency-critical components
  in the runtime subsystem that are prioritized higher than regular
  components, the storage stack, and the network stack.

- The Leitzentrale GUI remains always perfectly responsive regardless
  of the workloads deployed from packages. In the previous version,
  the runtime graph was sometimes stuttering on high system load.

9093c293cb sandbox: destroy 'Session_state' of local services
This patch adds the missing destruction of session-state objects of
local services when closing a session. Because of the missing
destruction, those session-state object remained part of the server
ID space. This becomes a problem once the backing store of the session
state object vanishes, that is when the client child gets removed from
the sandbox. Hence, the removal of a child with an open session to a
local service would lead to the corruption of the server ID space.

This patch adds the missing session.destroy() call.

935bb36fe4 base: fix child destruction while close requested
This patch fixes a corner case where a child is destructed while a
asynchronous close request to a sibling server is still pending.

The child immediately discarded the session ID as the end of the
close-session processing, assuming that this ID is never to be needed
again. The session-state continues to exist to handle asynchrous close
protocol with the server.

However, if the child is destructed at this point (before the server
responded to the session request), the destruction of the child would
not cover the discharging of the session state because the session state
was no longer be part of the client's ID space. So once the asynchronous
close response from the server came in, the session state contained
stale information, in particular a stale closed_callback pointer.

The patch fixes the problem by deferring the discarding of the client ID
to the point where the session state is actually destructed. So the
session of a pending close response is covered by the child destructor.

Thanks to Pirmin Duss for reporting this issue along with a test
scenario for reproducing it!

c0a7565c21 os: shim helper for safe routing of env sessions
This shim component can be used in case where env sessions of child
(i.e., child's PD session) must be routed to another child of init.

Without the shim, init would directly need to interact with these
sessions and would thereby make itself dependent of the server's
behavior. RPC calls to a server hosted as a child lead to all kinds of
problems such as livelock situations, and putting the robustness of init
at the whim of its child.

With the shim, init merely needs to bootstrap the shim component by
routing the shim's env sessions to core as usual. The server is only
used for the sessions for the actual application hosted atop the shim.

fa68325a57 base-hw: streamline extraction of depot archives
This patch simplifies the packaging of the base-hw kernel for a given
board, in particular when the board support is hosted as an external
repository such as genode-world. Regardless of where the board-support
is hosted, the content.mk file becomes as simple as:

  include $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/base-hw/recipes/src/base-hw_content.inc

The board name is automatically inferred from the path of the src
recipe. The architecture is determined from board/<name>/arch files,
following the pattern of the image_link_address. The attempt to build a
base-hw-<board> binary archive for the wrong architecture is now
gracefully handled by skipping all targets (using the REQUIRES
mechanism).

Besides the improved convenience, the patch results in depot archives
that are much closer tailored to the actual board by omitting files for
architectures that are not used by the board. E.g., the src/base-hw-pc
archive does not contain any ARM-related content.

The patch also restores the package builds for core/bootstrap object
files as a follow-up fix of "base: remove SPEC variables of boards",
which happened to left 'BOARD' undefined in the src archives.

1b77cb3832 qemu-usb: add ring-buffer for ISOCH OUT transfers

19d9409a34 qemu-usb: adapt ISOCH IN handling for audio
Linux as well as Windows guests want queue to a varying number of
transfers, where each transfer only covers one transaction (iso frame).
The best results were obtained by following that behaviour rather
than queuing multiple iso frames per requests (like is done with OUT
transfers).

The number of requests queued is increased to 32 while the number of
packets per reques is decreased to 1.

9918a8f88d qemu-usb: update port to 5.2.0
The contrib code is updated from 2.4.1 to version 5.2.0 and the used
device-model is changed to QEMU xHCI. Due to this change older guests
OSes, namely Windows 7, that relied on the NEC xHCI device-model will
not work anymore.

The 'Qemu::Controller' interface was extended by an 'info' method, which
returns the vendor and product ID. This allows for removing the
hard-coded values in the VirtualBox glue code.

b51ae104c2 qemu-usb: use bounce buffer to access DMA memory
The former implemention assumed that the guest physical memory is
mapped continously. This, however, is not true. Writing larger
files to an USB stick with a Windows 10 guest would therefore lead
to data corruption.

The current implementation uses a bounce buffer to copy the data
to and from the guest physical memory and leaves dealing with the
memory mappings entirely up to the VMM.

23620942bf usb_net: allow calling netif_stop_queue dummy
When the usb_net_drv was introduced in ports/run/netperf.inc, the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc triggered the calling of the
netif_stop_queue dummy at
contrib/<DDE_LINUX>/src/drivers/usb_net/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1464. As
netif_start_queue was also a dummy and allowed to be called, we tried allowing
calls to the netif_stop_queue dummy as well which fixed the
netperf_lxip_usb test on x86_64/hw/pc.

a99f6a81b6 libc: clone 'environ' pointer value after fork
The 'environ' pointer is a global variable that must be considered as
part of the application state. It must be copied from the parent to the
child process during fork. Otherwise, a child returning from fork is
unable to access environment variables before invoking execve. The
actual environment variables and their values are already captured
because they reside at the application heap, which is cloned from the
parent. So the copied 'environ' pointer refers to valid data.

e6a9e06f62 base-linux: Drop parentheses from .cfi_undefined.
According to GNU as manual the syntax of this directive is:
  .cfi_undefined register

The manual does not mention the register should be in parentheses.
This works in GNU as even when those are present, but unfortunately
clang integrated-as does not parse this correctly. Both GNU and
clang's integrated assembler work fine when the extra parentheses
are omitted.

8b172bf22e base: Explicitly state ELF segment flags
The code in base-hw/src/bootstrap/platform.cc uses segment flags for
identification purposes. Based on this information the code decides
what to do with each segment. Unfortunately the linker script does
not actually ensure the flags for a specific named segment match
expectations. The code relies on implicit linker behaviour.
This implicit behaviour can vary between linkers. This breaks
arm_v7a base-hw builds linked with LLVM's lld linker. The segment
named "ro" ends up having writeable flag set when using LLD.

This patch ensures that all ELF segments in genode.ld have their
required perimssion flags set explicitly.

80e8cf99e2 base: Make Genode::List clang friendly.
Clang is generally fine with Genode::List and compiles code using it
without emitting any warnings. There is however one exception. Clang
fails hard when building base-hw/src/core/kernel/object.cc.
This is due to a call to Genode::List::remove made from
Object_identity::invalidate function. The error message clang
produces is:

  list.h:96:33: error: 'Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity_reference>::Element::_next'
  is not a member of class 'const Kernel::Object_identity'
                              _first = le->List::Element::_next;
                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

When we look at the declaration of the Kernel::Object class on which
the remove method is called. as expected it does inherit Genode::List:

using Object_identity_list
	= Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity>;

class Kernel::Object : private Object_identity_list
{
...
}

Given the error message we see that List::Element should be resolved to
Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity>::Element, and not
Genode::List<Kernel::Object_identity_reference>::Element. But how does
clang manage to figure out we're talking about Object_identity_refecence
list here? Well, I admit I don't know the exact steps it takes to arrive
at this conclusion, but it is not entirely wrong. If we take a look at
what Kernel::Object_identity is we'll see:

class Kernel::Object_identity
: public Object_identity_list::Element,
  public Kernel::Object_identity_reference_list
{
...
}

Where as one can guess Object_identity_reference_list is defined as:

using Object_identity_reference_list
	= Genode::List<Object_identity_reference>;

Long story short Kernel::Object has Genode::List of both Kernel::Object_identity
and Kernel::Object_identity_reference in its inheritance chain and clang
is not really sure to which of those the code refers to in
Genode::List::remove method by using List::Element::.

The fix for this is relatively simple, explicitly state the full type of
the base class the code intends to refer to. Replacing List::Element,
with List<LT>::Element makes the code buildable with both clang and GCC.

f6d195a9de nic drivers: provide optional Uplink-client mode
In order to perform a smooth transition from NIC drivers that act only as NIC
session clients to NIC drivers that act only as Uplink session clients, this
commit introduces an intermediate state in which all NIC drivers support both
modes. That said, a NIC drivers mode is now statically determined through a new
optional 'mode' attribute in the drivers <config> tag that can be set to either
'nic_server' (default value) or 'uplink_client'. Reconfiguring this attribute
at a driver doesn't have any effects. Whithout this attribute being set, all
NIC drivers will behave the same as they did before the commit. When set to
'uplink_client', however, instead of providing a Nic service, they request
an Uplink session whenever their network interface becomes "UP" and close the
session whenever their network interface becomes "DOWN".

1d2649b49a nic_router: act as "Uplink" server
Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.

cf72d1aac3 os: introduce new "Uplink" session
Adds new Uplink session interface, the corresponding client side (Client,
Connection), and the corresponding API archives. An Uplink session is almost
the same as a NIC session with the difference that the roles of the end points
are swapped. An Uplink client is the one that provides a network interface
(for instance, a NIC driver) whereas an Uplink server is the one that uses
that network interface (for instance, a networking stack).

Therefore, in contrast to the NIC session, MAC address and link state come from
the Uplink client. The link state is reflected through the lifetime of an
Uplink session: The client requests the session only when the link state is
"UP" and closes it whenever the link state becomes "DOWN" again. The MAC
address is transmitted from the Uplink client to the Uplink server as an
argument of the session request.

  while dragging).

b097e598f1 usb_hid: use heap instead of dma/mem allocator
The usb_hid driver does not need to distinguish between
normal memory and DMA capable memory, since all requests are routed via the
USB raw session to the usb host driver. The default Malloc implementation
implements this distinction, however exposes restrictions on the size of
allocations. As seen now by several USB HID devices, the size of device
driver allocations depend on read out hardware features and can be
larger than we support with our specialized default Malloc implementation.

Since we don't need this functionality, switching to an well
tested allocator (Heap) which can cope with varying sizes of allocation,
we can mitigate the size restriction.

5db2971903 base-hw/arm_v7a: Mark r1 as out in Kernel::call64
In case of arm_v7a Kernel::call64 the syscall will use both r0 and r1 as
output registers. Unfortunately the inline asm does not reflect this and
only r0 is explicitly specified as output. GCC manages to produce output
which we'd like to see. Clang on the other hand takes adventage of the fact
r1 should not be touched by swi and produces fewer instructions which do
what the code describes, but not what we actually want.

Basically the code which we want and is generated by GCC is:
  svc     0
  mov     r2, r0
  mov     r0, r1
  mov     r1, r2
  bx      lr

Clang on the other hand generates correct assembly given the code, but
incorrect given what the function is supposed to do:
  svc     0
  mov     r1, r0
  mov     r0, #0
  bx      lr

Both GCC and clang generate the same, expected assembly output when r1
is marked as output register from the inline asm swi call.

30b8f4efc8 gems: import Genode-specific code of the CBE
The CBE repository contained a lot of Genode-specific code despite the fact
that the CBE core logic is not bound to Genode in any way. Therefore the
Genode-specific CBE code is moved to the 'gems' repository to form part of
Genode mainline. The remaining CBE code becomes a port in Genode instead of
being invoked as sub-repository.

The commit combines the following work steps:

* add all files removed from CBE repository
* add CBE port files
* make all CBE libs and targets build again
* make all CBE run scripts succeed again
* make all CBE recipes build again
* make CBE autopilot succeed again
* let CBE autopilot use 'libsparcrypto' contrib dir and Genode build dir
  instead of '.ci' dir in CBE contrib dir (remove '.ci' dir from CBE repo)
* let CBE autopilot always check for all ports
* make CBE autopilot directly executable
* fix license headers in all Genode CBE files
* remove unused VFS replay component
* remove unused CBE test
* remove unused external crypto
* remove unused files in run dir
* remove unused external trust anchor
* add cbe_tester test to autopilot list
* get rid of directories 'include/cbe_*' and 'include/utils'

b9869b666a dde_bsd: use bsd_task to handle I/O
Originally, the kernel code should have been executed within the
context of the main task like it is done in dde_linux. The initial
port of the HDA driver, however, did not required doing so and the
session called code directly.

When using USB device, that is no longer possible as we have to
suspend the execution during the execution of the kernel code. So
we pass in the audio data and schedule the kernel.

53a990579b base: Fix UAF in Genode::Pd_session_component::free
This was discovered when building the code with clang instead of GCC. In
this setup the run/ping on base-hw/arm_v8a/virt_qemu would crash
on shutdown due to uncaught Deref_unconstructed_object exception thrown
for Genode::Reconstructible<Genode::Account<Genode::Ram_quota>>. The
specific instance throwing this exception was
Pd_session_component::_ram_account. My investigation exposed the
following problem:

1. The Pd_session_component has a _sliced_heap member backed by
   _constrained_ram_alloc which in turn uses Pd_session_component itself
   as its Ram_allocator.
2. When ~Pd_session_component is called it first destroys _ram_account,
   followed by _signal_broker.
3. The signal broker holds a reference to
   Pd_session_component::_sliced_heap as Signal_broker::_md_alloc.
4. The base-hw implementation of ~Signal_broker destroys some contexts
   and does this by calling Genode::destroy on some slabs using the
   _md_alloc (ref to Pd_session_component::_sliced_heap).
5. The Genode::Slab calls the Ram_allocator::free which ends up calling
   Pd_session_component::free.
6. The Pd_session_component::free can among other things call replenish
   method on Pd_session_component::_ram_account which has already been
   freed at this point.

From my POV calling replenish at this point is basically an undefined
behavior. The Genode::Constructible holding the Genode::Account was
already detroyed at this point. GCC builds happen to somehow manage to
go through the -> operator call without raising any alarms, while clang
builds trip on the _check_constructed() call.

This fix moves the _ram_account a bit higher in class declaration to
ensure its destroyed after _sliced_heap. This seems like the simpliest
solution for this problem.

1d826a2c48 base-hw: do direct syscall when run/pause a VCPU
Instead of calling core to run/pause a VCPU, go directly to the kernel.
Apart from the performance win, it would otherwise involve a more complex
protocol, when a VCPU on another core has to be removed from the scheduler.
Core's entrypoint handling those request runs on the boot-cpu only.

3d2b0cab93 libc: implement SNDCTL I/O control handling
In the same vein as the terminal and block I/O controls, the sound
controls are implemented via poperty files and match the OSS
API ([1] features a nice overview while [2] is v3 and [3] gives
in-depth information on the current v4.x API we eventually might want
to implement).

  [1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/RyanBeasley/ioctlref/
  [2] http://www.opensound.com/pguide/oss.pdf
  [3] http://manuals.opensound.com/developer/

The controls currently implemented are the ones used by the cmus OSS
output plugin, which was the driving factor behind the implementation.
It uses the obsolete (v3) API and does not check if the requested
parameter was actually set, which should be done according to the
official OSS documentation.

At the moment it is not possible to set or rather change any
parameters. In case the requested setting differs from the parameters
of the underlying Audio_out session - in contrast to the suggestion in
the OSS manual - we do not silently adjust the parameters returned
to the callee but outright fail the I/O control operation.

The following list contains all currently handled I/O controls.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS sets the number of channels. We return the
    available channels here and return ENOTSUP if it differs from
    the requested number of channels.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE returns amount of playback data that can
    be written without blocking. For now it amounts the space left
    in the Audio_out packet-stream.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_POST forces playback to start. We do nothing and return
    success.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_RESET is supposed to reset the device when it is
    active before any parameters are changed. We do nothing and return
    success.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_SAMPLESIZE sets the sample size. We return the
    sample size of the underlying Audio_out session and return ENOTSUP
    if it differs from the requested number of channels.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT sets the buffer size hint. We ignore the
    hint and return success.

  * SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED sets the samplerate. For now, we always return
    the rate of the underlying Audio_out session and return ENOTSUP
    if it differs from the requested one.

This commit serves as a starting point for further implementing the
OSS API by exploring more users, e.g. as VirtualBox/Qt5/SDL2 audio
backend or a more sophisticated progam like sndiod.

bff624c75a test/entrypoint: extend timeout interval
At least on some PIT-based platforms (x86_32 + pistachio/okl4/sel4), we run
into trouble with the reworked timeout framework that now proccesses all
pending timeouts before calling their handlers. This order change leads to a
higher rate of handling of short periodic timeouts in the timer driver which
can cause lower prioritized components to starve. Especially, if submitting
signals (from timer to client) isn't cheap (as is the case on qemu + pistachio
for example).

7fbb245710 os: add VirtIO device helper classes.
To simplify writing native VirtIO drivers for Genode add helper classes
representing VirtIO device and queue. The queue implementation should
be platform independant. The device abstraction however is closely tied
to the VirtIO transport being used (PCI/MMIO). Both PCI and MMIO
implementations expose the same public API so the actual driver logic
should be the same regardless of which transport is used.

Its also important to note that the PCI version of Virtio::Device
currently does not support MSI-X interrupts. Unfortunately my kowledge
about PCI bus is very limited and my main area of interest was to get
VirtIO drivers working on virt_qemu ARM/Aarch64 platform. As such all
the VirtIO drivers I plan to submit will work with PCI bus, but might
not use some extended capabilities.

9bd548c4bd os: add platform_drv config generator for virt_qemu
The VirtIO device configuration on Qemu is dynamic. The
order and presence of different command line switches affects
base address and interrupt assignment of each device. One could
probably hard-code the necessary switches and resulting XML ARM
platform driver configuration in each run script, but this seems
like troublesome and hard to maintain solution.

This patch explores an alternative approach to the problem.
It implements a ROM driver which probes the address space region
Qemu virt machines assign to VirtIO MMIO devices and exposes the
result as XML via a ROM session. This XML output can be fed directly
as config to the generic ARM platform driver.

abefca500b libc: fix deadlock in pthread_cond_timedwait/signal()
The deadlock occured with three concurrently running threads: two
waiters calling pthread_cond_timedwait() and one signaller calling
pthread_cond_signal().

If waiter W1 hits its timeout, the signaller may have called
pthread_cond_signal(), detected this waiter and posted the internal
'signal_sem' concurrently. Then, the signaller waits for 'handshake_sem'
to ensure the waiter got woken up.

Waiter W1 can't consume the 'signal_sem' post by
'sem_wait(&c->signal_sem)' because another waiter W2 may have consumed
the post already above in sem_wait/timedwait(). Waiting for a post on
'signal_sem' would block the waiter W1 in perfect deadlock with
signaller on 'handshake_sem'. As W1 also owns 'counter_mutex' in this
situation, waiter W2 would block when trying to aquire 'counter_mutex'
and can't resolve the situation.

So, W1 does nothing in this case and we accept the spurious wakeup on
next pthread_cond_wait/timedwait().

04821b1abc nitpicker: apply focus change w/o input events
This patch fixes the corner case where the keyboard focus is defined
independently from user interactivity, e.g., the activation of a
screensaver or lock screen.

In this case, nitpicker would update its internal focus state not before
the next input event is handled. Should this input event be a press
event, this event would wrongly be delivered to the prior focused
session. Another problematic situation is the initial state before the
very first input event occurs. Since the focus remains undefined until
the first input event is handled, an initial key press event would not
be delivered.

This is a regression caused be the transition to the event-session
interface and the removal of the nitpicker's periodic way of operation.
The patch fixes the problem by applying pending focus changes not only
at the input processing but also on the code path that responds to focus
changes (e.g., focus-rom update).

e0d9a04f67 libc: resolve circular dependency in fork
This patch is a follow-up for the commit "libc: use monitor for fork".
It removes the use of the monitor mechanism from the
'Local_clone_service::close' RPC function because the fork_ep must stay
responsive for the destruction and creation of 'Child' objects.

Genode OS Framework release 22.02 | 2022-02-28
##############################################
| With Genode 22.02, 3D acceleration becomes available to guest operating
| systems running in VirtualBox 6, Sculpt OS evolves into a versatile framework
| for building special-purpose operating systems, and Genode starts to interact
| with the modem of the Pinephone.
The features mentioned above are merely the tip of the iceberg of version
22.02. In fact, the majority of the development work during the release cycle
was focused on topics beyond the visible surface, ranging from the
reorganization of the code base for streamlining the targeting of new hardware,
over the tightening of foundational framework APIs, to the raising of the
default warning level used when building genuine Genode components. Over the
course of this infrastructural work, almost no component was left unturned.
Functionality-wise, improvements of the Genode-based Sculpt OS are at the
center stage of the release. Originally pursued with the vision of a
Genode-based general-purpose OS that is fit for day-to-day use on commodity PC
hardware, the current release lifts the potential of Sculpt's architecture for
the creation of special-purpose operating-system appliances. The gained
flexibility took even us developers by surprise! Thanks to the new modular
approach, we were able to demonstrate a bare-bones version of Sculpt OS on
the Pinephone at FOSDEM, or accelerate our development workflow by routinely
running Sculpt OS directly on the Linux kernel.
The intensive device-driver-related developments of the previous releases
continued as well. This time, we took our new approach for running Linux
drivers in Genode to PC hardware, starting with a fresh port of the USB host
controller driver. The Intel GPU driver received numerous performance
improvements and can now even be combined with guest operating systems running
in VirtualBox 6. Further notable driver-related improvements are the new
ability to interact with the modem on the Pinephone and largely streamlined
driver infrastructure for the Raspberry Pi.
All the details of the new version can be found in the

Road Map for 2022 | 2022-01-18
##############################
| Our plans for 2022 envision the use of Genode for advanced mobile
| use cases such as video chat.
Following Genode's major technical breakthroughs in the areas of reusing Linux
drivers, hardware-accelerated graphics, and the native execution of Chromium
during 2021, we will pursue _mobile usability_ as overarching theme in 2022.
Specifically, we aspire the routine use of Genode on the Pinephone as a
platform for video chat, using WireGuard to protect the communications.
This vision motivates a large variety of challenging technical topics.
To name a few, we have to squeeze good performance out of the
resource-constrained Pinephone hardware, focus on UI latency and the quality
of service of audio streaming, come up with a somewhat usable touch-based
user interface, and get to the guts of power management.
Aside this guiding theme, we put a broad update of our PC drivers on our
agenda so that Sculpt OS remains a suitable basis for our day-to-day
computing needs on recent generations of Intel hardware.
As an additional line of development, we are excited to intensify the
combination of Genode with reconfigurable hardware.
More information about our review of the past year, this year's focus, and a
rough schedule are presented at our official
[https:/about/road-map - road-map page].
Genode OS Framework release 21.11 | 2021-11-30
##############################################
| Genode 21.11 puts the spotlight on device drivers. Interactive Genode
| scenarios come to the Pinephone, hardware-accelerated graphics becomes
| available on Intel Gen9+ and Vivante GPUs, and Xilnx Zynq receives
| new love.
The previous release presented our new take on porting drivers from Linux, and
the architectural integration of hardware-accelerated graphics in Genode-based
systems. The just released version 21.11 is the continuation of both topics.
Thanks to our streamlined approach for transplanting Linux drivers to Genode, we
were able to reuse the Pinephone's Linux drivers for the display and
touchscreen without modification. But, in contrast to running those drivers in
the Linux kernel, we are walking on new ground by confining each driver in a
separate sandbox.
With our GPU line of work, we followed two major directions during the release
cycle. For one, we applied our architectural approach to a second GPU vendor
besides Intel, namely the Vivante GPU as used by the i.MX SoC family.
Combined with the etnaviv Gallium driver of the Mesa library, Genode thereby
becomes able to render graphics with hardware acceleration on the MNT Reform
open-hardware laptop. The second branch is the promised extension of our
custom Intel GPU multiplexer to GPUs of generation 9 or newer. Thereby, GPU
support has now become a regular feature of the Genode-based Sculpt OS that
can be taken for a spin on commodity PC hardware.
Regarding 32-bit ARM platforms, the current release revives our engagement
with Xilinx Zynq devices, which combine FPGA fabric with a 32-bit ARM CPU.
In particular, the release brings the framework to the USRP E310 board,
opening new hardware-software co-design opportunities.
Besides the many hardware-related topics outlined above, two functional
improvements stand out. First, the Genode version of VirtualBox 6 has reached
feature parity with version 5. Both versions can now be used interchangeably
on Sculpt OS. Finally, libSDL2 got upgraded with support for audio and OpenGL,
which is a nice pathway for hosting games on Genode.
The new version is described in full detail by the
[https:/documentation/release-notes/21.11 - release documentation of version 21.11...]
Sculpt OS release 21.10 | 2021-10-14
####################################
| Sculpt OS version 21.10 introduces GPU-accelerated graphics on Intel,
| media playback in the web browser, VirtualBox 6, and USB webcam support.
At the first glance, the just released Sculpt 21.10 looks and feels nearly
identical to the time-tested previous version 21.03. However, a look at the
installable packages reveals a firework of exciting new features.
First and technically most exciting, the new version enables the use of
hardware-accelerated graphics on Intel GPUs, paving the ground for
graphics-intensive applications and games. The GPU support is based on the
combination of the Mesa library stack with our custom GPU multiplexer
as featured in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Advancing_GPU_driver_stack - Genode 21.08].
_Note that this fresh new feature should best be regarded as experimental_
_and be used with caution._
Second, our port of the Chromium-based Falkon web browser has become able to
present media content like videos and sound. Look out for the browser in the
tools menu of cproc's depot. It is accompanied with a ready-to-use audio
driver and a mixer component. In cases where audio output is not desired, the
browser - or any other component that requests audio output - can be connected
to a new component called black hole, which merely mimics an audio driver
without any audible effect.
Third, with the addition of the new file-vault component, Sculpt now provides
an easy way to setup and use an encrypted file store using our custom CBE
block encrypter as underlying crypto container. The file vault is especially
useful in combination with the recall-fs component that provides each client
with a distinct storage compartment.
Finally, the support for USB webcams as introduced with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.05#Webcam_support - Genode 21.05]
has entered Sculpt OS in the form of a new webcam package. The webcam support
can best be combined with our new port of VirtualBox 6 that is available in
addition to VirtualBox version 5. With Sculpt 21.10, both VirtualBox versions
can be used in parallel.
Sculpt OS 21.10 is available as ready-to-use system image at the
[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt download page] and is accompanied
with updated [https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-21-10 - documentation].
More details about individual new features of Sculpt 21.10 will be covered
soon by dedicated articles at [https://genodians.org].
Genode OS Framework release 21.08 | 2021-08-31
##############################################
| The highlights of Genode 21.08 are revamped GPU support as well as new
| drivers for the Pinephone and MNT-Reform laptop based on a new streamlined
| approach for porting Linux kernel code. Further topics range from VirtualBox
| improvements, over media playback in the native web browser, to LTE
| connectivity in Sculpt OS.
For complex driver stacks, Genode largely relies on code ported from other
operating systems. The Linux kernel plays a special role because - being the
basis for Android - it is the de-facto reference for driving the peripherals
of most ARM SoCs. Up to now, however, the porting efforts of driver code from
Linux to Genode used to be a time-intensive affair, which forced a narrow
focus on very few SoCs on us. With the streamlined porting approach introduced
with the new release, we become able to dramatically reduce the costs,
creating the prospect of a much broader hardware support. The first success
stories of the new way of porting are added graphics drivers for the Pinephone
and the MNT-Reform laptop, a network driver for the Pine-A64-LTS board, and an
SD-card driver for the MNT-Reform.
The second spotlight of the release is the largely revamped support for Intel
GPUs. In contrast to our experimental GPU-related work of the past, we have
now identified a way to cleanly integrate GPU support into the GUI
architecture of sophisticated Genode systems such as Sculpt OS. This work is
accompanied with an up-to-date version of the Mesa library stack. In
combination with the improvements of our custom GPU multiplexer, we are now on
a good track to make the use of hardware-accelerated graphics a commodity on
Genode.
Even though most topics of the current release revolve around low-level
driver-related work, the new version improves higher-level functionality as
well. In particular, it adds the modular integration of mobile-data
connectivity to Sculpt OS and enables media playback for our port of the
Chromium web engine. Those and more topics are described in the detailed
[https:/documentation/release-notes/21.08 - release documentation of version 21.08...]
Genode OS Framework release 21.05 | 2021-05-31
##############################################
| Version 21.05 introduces webcam support, features an encrypted file vault
| for Sculpt OS, and adds new drivers for the i.MX8 SoC and Pine-A64.
| Furthermore, it is accompanied with a new tool chain based on GCC 10
| and new guidance documentation for driver development.
Device-driver support remains a prominent topic for almost every release.
The just released version 21.05 is no exception, touching hardware topics
ranging from USB, over I2C on i.MX8, over GPIO on Pine-A64, to networking on
RISC-V. Until now, such nitty-gritty driver-development work has been pursued
almost exclusively by the core team at Genode Labs. To encourage developers
outside the inner circle to join the fun, the release is accompanied with the
initial version of a comprehensive guidance documentation for
hardware-related topics.
Feature-wise the two highlights of the new version are webcam support and an
easy-to-use encrypted file store based on our custom CBE block encrypter.
As detailed by the release documentation, both features leverage Genode's
architecture in unique ways to attain high flexibility without an inflation of
complexity.
The release is rounded up by a new tool chain based on GCC 10 and Binutils
2.36, profound performance optimizations, framework refinements, and new
assistive tooling for porting Linux drivers. All the details of the new
version are covered by the official
[https:/documentation/release-notes/21.05 - release documentation of version 21.05...]
Sculpt OS 21.03 boots now in 2.5 seconds | 2021-05-03
#####################################################
| We have released an updated Sculpt 21.03 image featuring several
| hardware-compatibility tweaks and performance improvements.
Since the official Sculpt OS 21.03 release end of March, we continued our
efforts with refining the user experience and broadening hardware
compatibility, thanks to the user feedback we received. We have now released
an updated system image that includes those refinements as well as several
performance optimizations that boost the boot time of Sculpt to less than 2.5
seconds from the first life sign of the kernel to the graphical user
interface (measured on a 5-years old Lenovo x250 laptop).
You can get the new version of the system image named sculpt-21-03b at the
[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS download] page.
It is binary compatible with the original release version. So you can use it
as a drop-in-replacement.

Sculpt OS release 21.03 | 2021-03-24
####################################
| Version 21.03 of the Sculpt operating system makes the system resilient
| against classes of driver failures, adds configurable real-time priorities,
| and introduces interfaces for screen capturing and user-event injection.
Sculpt OS 21.03 incorporates the many improvements of the latest two Genode
releases. Thanks to Genode's concept of
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#Pluggable_network_device_drivers - pluggable device drivers],
the system has reached a new level of robustness against malfunctioning
drivers. For example, if the Intel graphics driver trips over an unsupported
external display, the driver gets automatically restarted while all graphical
applications keep running. Or as another example, should the overly complex
Wifi driver have a hick-up, it can be restarted with a simple mouse click
without harming the networking stacks running on top.
Even though Genode supports static-priority scheduling since more than a
decade, Sculpt did not make this feature available to end users so far. The
new version changes that. For each component, the user can now take a
deliberate decision about the hard scheduling priority, e.g., prioritizing
latency-critical multi-media applications over computational workloads or
virtual machines.
Speaking of workloads, to push the limits of what is possible with Sculpt OS,
the new version introduces additional interfaces that can be assigned to
components. First, it has become possible to redirect the interaction of a
component with the kernel through another component, thereby enabling features
like dynamic CPU-load balancing to be implemented as plain user-level
services. Second, there are new interfaces for capturing the screen and for
injecting input events. The latter interfaces pave the ground for virtual
keyboards, screen-sharing application, or remote administration scenarios.
Under the hood, there are plenty of improvements that make the life of
Sculpt users better. The keyboard layout can now be picked from a menu.
The Chromium-based Falkon web browser runs circles around the previous
version. Menu items and file lists appear nicely sorted. Terminal windows
immediately respond to global font-size changes. On modern Intel machines,
Sculpt leverages Intel Hardware P-states (HWP) for power and thermal
management now. You can find an illustrated tour of these and more changes in
a dedicated

Genode OS Framework release 21.02 | 2021-02-25
##############################################
| The highlights of version 21.02 are the addition of VirtualBox 6,
| mobile-data connectivity via LTE, pluggable network drivers, initial
| support for the Pine-A64-LTS board, and revived work on RISC-V.
Many topics of the current release draw a connection to our overarching goal
to use Genode on the Pinephone by the end of the year. Besides the obvious
steps of enabling the hardware - starting with the Pine-A64-LTS board - the
release introduces mobile-data connectivity as a Genode feature, and changes
the network-driver architecture in anticipation of dynamic power-management
schemes.
For PC hardware, the flagship feature of version 21.02 is the addition of
VirtualBox 6, giving us the prospect to eventually replace the aging port of
VirtualBox 5. Speaking of VirtualBox, the release comes with profound
improvements of the USB-device pass-through abilities, most importantly
covering audio headsets.
Besides these prominent features, the new version comes with many further
improvements. Just to name a few, virtual machines on ARM have become
able to provide VirtIO-block devices to guests, named pipes can now
be used to connect components, Genode's RISC-V support received an
update to ISA spec 1.10, and OpenSSL has been bumped to version 1.1.1.

Road Map for 2021 | 2021-01-15
##############################
| In 2021, we plan to bring Genode to the Pinephone, advance the framework's
| GPU support, and focus on development workflows.
During the annual road-map discussion on Genode's public
[https://genode.org/community/mailing-lists - mailing list],
the following hot topics for this year emerged.
First and most inspiring for many Genode developers, we aspire to have
Genode running on the Pinephone with basic feature-phone functionality by the
end of the year. Since this will involve substantial device-driver-related
developments, the team will take this line of work as an opportunity to
advance the tooling and workflows for carrying out such tasks. This, in turn,
will hopefully ease the on-boarding of new driver developers in the future.
Closely related to the Pinephone scenario, the project will make optimizations
a top priority this year. The opportunities are plenty, ranging from
micro-optimizations, over API refinements, to architectural changes if
needed.
Another recurring topic is the request for GPU support, which is required
by many modern workloads such as video conferencing or streaming on mobile
device. Therefore, we will revamp our past developments of GPU multiplexing
on Intel hardware while also starting the investigation of GPUs on ARM-based
devices.

Genode OS Framework release 20.11 | 2020-11-27
##############################################
| Genode 20.11 brings Sculpt OS to 64-bit ARM hardware, introduces dynamic
| CPU-load balancing, and enables multicore virtualization on ARM. Driver-wise,
| the release improves audio on PC hardware, and adds VirtIO networking support.
ARM 64-bit has been a recurring theme of the Genode releases this year and the
just released version 20.11 is no exception. We are proud to announce that our
Genode-based custom general-purpose OS called Sculpt has come to life on
64-bit ARM hardware, namely the NXP i.MX8 EVK board. This is the result of
intensive work on the framework's driver architecture for ARM and several
SoC-specific device drivers. Closely related to this line of work is the new
ability to run multicore virtual machines on ARM.
Another highlight of version 20.11 is a new CPU balancing mechanism, which
automates the dynamic assignment of threads to CPU cores for complex
workloads. With traditional operating systems, such policies are normally part
of the OS kernel. Thanks to Genode's component architecture, we are able to
implement such potentially complex policies in the form of an optional
component, which offers ultimate flexibility while keeping the kernel
untainted by complex heuristics.
Further topics of the current release are improved power management and audio
support on PC hardware, a new OSS API emulation that allows for the
reuse of popular audio applications on Genode, and new support for VirtIO
networking. The full picture is given by the

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 18.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
After being developed for over a decade, Genode remained a mystery for many
people who looked at the project from a distance as it does not seem to fit
any established category of software. In 2018 - declared as the Year of Sculpt
on our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap] - this will hopefully
change. Genode 18.02 features the first revision of Sculpt, which is a
Genode-based operating system for general-purpose computing. After being used
as day-to-day OS by the entire team of Genode Labs for several months, we feel
that the time is right to share the system with a broader audience (Section
[Sculpt for Early Adopters]).
One fundamental feature of Sculpt is the ability to install and deploy
software from within the running operating system, which is universally
expected from any modern general-purpose OS. Section
[On-target package installation and deployment] presents Genode's unique
take on the topic of software installation and deployment.
Besides Sculpt, the current release has no shortage of other improvements.
Genode's growing arsenal of 3rd-party software received profound updates and
additions, including VirtualBox, Muen, seL4, several GNU packages, and
libraries. Also the user-level networking stack - including the Linux-based
LxIP stack and our custom NIC-router component - received a lot of attention.
Thanks to the added network driver for i.MX-based hardware, this networking
infrastructure becomes usable on embedded platforms based on this SoC.
Furthermore, the current release continues the cultivation of the Nim
programming language for Genode components.
Sculpt for Early Adopters
#########################
The current release features the first revision of Sculpt, which is a
Genode-based operating system for general-purpose computing. This initial
version is called Sculpt for Early Adopters (EA). Its target audience are
enthusiasts who are already familiar with Genode and are eager to use a
Genode-based operating system on their machines. As outlined on the
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap], later versions will become
increasingly approachable.
[image sculpt_overview]
Please refer to the official
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-ea - Sculpt documentation]
to step right into the adventure.
On-target package installation and deployment
#############################################
In May last year, we introduced the package-management concept for Genode to
pursue two goals. First, to overcome the naturally limited scalability of
composing Genode systems solely from source. This limit became evident in
complex system scenarios that incorporate a huge amount of 3rd party software.
Thanks to the introduced _depot_ concept and its integration in Genode's
workflow - in particular the run tool - the work of system integration became
much more structured (by caring about packages instead of individual build
targets), robust (by avoiding conditions in run scripts), and quick (by the
accelerated test cycle when using pre-built packages).
The second goal is the ability to update and extend a running Genode system on
the fly. We are happy to have reached this goal with the current release. As
exemplified by the Sculpt scenario, packages cannot only be used as building
blocks for system images but also as subsystems dynamically installed and
deployed on target. Even though installation and deployment are closely
related topics, both involve distinct challenges, which allow Genode to shine.
Installation / update
=====================
In traditional operating systems, the installation and update of system
software is the job of privileged programs. For example, a package manager in
a GNU/Linux system is typically executed with root privileges. This is
troublesome because the functionality of such a program is extremely complex.
In particular it is exposed to the network and has to parse content
originating from potentially untrusted parties. Therefore, potential software
vulnerabilities should be expected. However, in modern OSes, these programs
are just assumed to behave correctly. If this overly optimistic assumption
doesn't hold, the entire system is at risk.
Genode helps us to mitigate this problem by modelling each installation step
as a distinct component composition where each component has a well-defined
and extremely narrow role. The installation is an iterative sequence that
is orchestrated by the so-called download-manager component
(Figure [depot_download]).
[image depot_download]
Initially, the download manager receives a list of content to be installed
into the local depot, which is stored on the file system. The depot may
already be populated with (portions of) this content. In the first step, the
download manager must determine the parts that are missing. To do that, it
does not access the file system directly but instead hands over this task to a
disposable helper component called _depot-query_ that is spawned within a
dynamic init instance. This indirection has two benefits. First, the download
manager is not bothered with the complexity of accessing the file system. It
does not even have any notion of files. Second, the download manager is
effectively shielded from the file system. Should the file system misbehave,
the liveliness of the download manager remains unaffected.
[image depot_download_query_deps]
The depot-query component reports its findings to a report session. The report
eventually reaches the download manager as an updated ROM module. Given the
list of missing content, the download manager has to determine the information
of where to obtain the content from and the public key of the content creator.
This information is contained within the depot. So the download manager issues
another request to the depot-query component in order to obtain it.
[image depot_download_query_url]
Once the depot-query component has responded, the download manager knows what
content to get, where to get it, and how to verify it. To download the
content, it changes the dynamic init instance as follows.
[image depot_download_fetch]
The depot-query component is now gone. Actually, the entire depot has moved
out of sight. Instead, a fresh _fetchurl_ component is spawned. This component
is connected to the network as well as the writeable download directory
_public/_. Internally, fetchurl employs a complex software stack, which
includes the C runtime, curl, libssl, and libssh. Hence, we expect this
component to be vulnerable. Since it is facing the network, we assume that
vulnerabilities are exploitable. In the worst case where the component is
completely in the hands of an attacker, it may write wrong content into the
_public/_ location. But compared to executing curl or wget as root on a
traditional Unix system, the reach of an attack is quite limited. For example,
the mere existence of the download manager remains completely out of view of
fetchurl. However, the content of _public/_ must not be trusted. To reinforce
trust in the downloaded content, the content is accompanied with cryptographic
signatures created by the content creator. Before we touch the content, we
first check its authenticity. To perform this verification step, the download
manager reshapes the dynamic init instance as follows.
[image depot_download_verify]
Note that fetchurl exists no more and network connectivity is cut, effectively
disposing any form of malware that might have infected fetchurl. Next a new
_verify_ component enters the picture. It is configured with a list of content
to check, the signatures of the content, and the public key of the content's
presumed creator. Since it accesses the _public/_ location exclusively, it is
not prone to any potential time-of-check to time-of-use problems during the
verification. Under the hood, the _verify_ component employs a hugely complex
implementation based on GnuPG. It would be naive to fully trust this code.
However, when embedded in our scenario, the reach of a bug is limited because
the verify component has no access to any mutable system state. It could
merely give the wrong answer (which is of course bad but there is no way we
can magically solve this).
Knowing that the downloaded content is indeed the same content as intended
by the creator, it is time for extraction. For this step, the download
manager - again - reshapes the dynamic init instance:
[image depot_download_extract]
This time, both the _public/_ location as well as the trusted _depot/_ are
visible and a new _extract_ component is spawned. As the depot may host
content from multiple sources, which potentially distrust each other, the
content of each content provider resides in a dedicated subdirectory within
the depot. Instead of handing over access to the entire depot to the extract
tool, we mediate the file-system access via a _chroot_ component that limits
the view to the depot-provider's respective subdirectory. In the worst case
where a misbehaving content provider delivers a forged (but correctly signed)
archive to exploit a vulnerability of the extract component, the reach of the
attack remains limited to the content provider's space within the depot.
After the extraction step has completed, the depot is populated with the new
content, which may - in turn - include new dependency information. At this
point, the download manager starts a new iteration. This iterative process
terminates as soon as the depot-query component signals that no content of
the software installation is missing.
The bottom line here is that we are able to use complex and useful software
like curl, libarchive, liblzma, and GnuPG while largely distrusting it. In
contrast to this software that sums up to hundreds of thousand lines of code,
the download manager comprises less than 1000 lines of code. The software
installation procedure described above is implemented by the 'depot_download'
subsystem hosted in the gems repository and illustrated by an equally named
run script. It also forms the basis of the install/update mechanism of the
Sculpt scenario.
Deployment
==========
Once software has entered the system in the form of depot content, the
remaining question is how to turn this content into running subsystems. The
answer is given by the following illustration.
[image sculpt_deploy_runtime]
Like for the installation process described above, the scenario employs a
dynamic init instance that is accompanied by an orchestrating component. The
latter is called _depot-deploy_. The depot-deploy component queries
information from the depot using the same depot-query component that was used
during the installation. Based on the returned _blueprint_ information for the
to-be-deployed subsystems, it generates the configuration for the dynamic init
instance. The subsystems hosted within this init instance access the depot
content via mere ROM sessions as provided by the FS-ROM component. This makes
the use of the depot transparent to the hosted subsystems.
The depot-deploy component is located in the gems repository and accompanied
by a same-named run script. More importantly, it is featured in the deploy
runtime of the Sculpt system.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Increased default warning level
===============================
For building Genode components written in C++, the compiler flags -Wextra,
-Weffc++, and -Werror are now enabled in addition to -Wall by default.
If this strict warning level is inapplicable for a given component or
library, it is possible to explicitly disable the strictness in the
respective build-description file by adding the following line:
! CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT =
We adjusted almost all the code of the base, base-<kernel>, os, and demo
repositories to comply with this new warning level. For most components
hosted in the higher-level repositories (libports, ports, dde_*, gems),
the strictness is disabled as of now and will be enabled component-wise
wherever feasible.
While adjusting our code base, we identified the following patterns worth
mentioning:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classes without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are. The 'Interface' utility resides in
_base/include/util/interface.h_.
* With the new warning level, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed by inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and the assignment operator as private class members.
Those declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
! /*
! * Noncopyable
! */
! Thread(Thread const &);
! Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we plan to revisit these occurrences and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
The following caveats are expected, even if you disable the strictness
in your component:
* If your component has a class called 'Interface', it may collide with
the new 'Genode::Interface' class. You may have to disambiguate the
names.
* The 'Genode::Rpc_client' is no longer a 'Genode::Capability'. Hence,
classes inherited from 'Genode::Rpc_client' cannot refer to a
'Capability' but must refer to 'Genode::Capability'.
* The 'Surface' class is no longer copyable, which led to API
changes of users of this class. E.g., the 'Nitpicker_buffer'
utility does no longer offer accessors for the contained surfaces
but a new 'apply_to_surface' method that takes a lambda function as
argument.
Init
====
Init selects session routes based on the requested service and the client's
label. The latter can be matched as 'label' (exact match), 'label_prefix', or
'label_suffix' (either end of the label matches). With the new version, these
options are complemented with an additional 'label_last' attribute that covers
the prominent case where the last part of the label identifies a requested
resource at the server. A typical example is the routing of a ROM session
based on the name of the requested ROM module.
Reflecting the core log to the application level
================================================
Core records now log messages in a ring buffer and exports this
memory as ROM named 'core_log'. User applications may monitor this ring buffer
and present or transfer the content as appropriate. The example component in
_repos/os/src/app/log_core_ transforms the content into normal log
messages, which may be routed to graphical terminals or stored on
file systems, e.g. by using the fs_log server.
NIC-router improvements
=======================
During the past three months, the NIC router has received several improvements
that were mainly inspired by our daily experience with the component as part
of our Sculpt based working environments.
The most notable new feature is the support for multiple NIC sessions at one
domain. If multiple NIC-session clients connect to one domain, the NIC router
acts as a simple hub between them. I.e., for every packet that is routed to
the domain, each connected session receives a copy of the packet. The same
applies for domain-local packets, meaning packets that target an IP address
inside the IP subnet of the domain they came from. This domain-local
forwarding applies before considering any other routing rules. So, in other
words, it is not possible to route such traffic to another domain.
Furthermore, the logging features of the NIC router were improved. First, the
router is now capable of periodically sending a report via Genode's report
session. This can be activated by adding the new '<report>' node to the router
configuration:
! <config>
! <report interval_sec="5" bytes="yes" config="yes">
! ...
! </config>
So far, the report provides per-domain information about the amount of sent
and received data ('bytes' attribute) and the current IPv4 configuration like
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address ('config' attribute).
Second, there is a new verbosity option in the '<config>' node:
! <config verbose_domain_state="yes">
When this option is set, the NIC router will output a short message to the log
for each general state change of a domain. Currently, this includes the
IP-configuration state (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) and the
number of connected NIC sessions. This is a useful addition because the
purpose of the regular verbose option is to give a very deep insight into
almost every activity of the router, which is vital for debugging
sophisticated problems but normally floods the log. Therefore, the regular
verbose option is not viable for complex setups like a Sculpt desktop
environment. In such a context, the new domain-state verbosity is pretty
discreet but already gives a good hint on why, for instance, packets get
dropped despite the routing rules being correct.
Last but not least, the timeout configuration of the NIC router has been
reworked and now allows for a much more precise adaption to the network
environment. The former 'rtt_sec' attribute of the '<config>' node has been
replaced by the following new attributes (default values shown):
! <config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
! dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
! dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
! udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
! tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
! tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">
Details about the new attributes can be found in the
_os/src/server/nic_router/README_ file. The default values should be
appropriate for the common use case so that specifying them is normally not
necessary.
New watch mechanism for file-system session
===========================================
The file-system session already provided a way for watching files or
directories for changes. However, the original mechanism was arguably hard to
use. In addition to opening the to-be-watched file-system node, the client had
to submit a so-called content-changed request into the session's request
queue. In turn, the server delivered the change notification by acknowledging
this request.
The new mechanism is much less bureaucratic. A file or directory can be
watched by opening a watch handle rather than submitting a 'CONTENT_CHANGED'
packet to the server. Whenever a change happens at a node with an open watch
handle, a CONTENT_CHANGED packet will be sent from the server to the client.
This serializes the registration with other handle operations and separates
I/O handle state from notification handle state.
C runtime
=========
We changed libc's handling of 'clock_gettime' to be explicitly configurable
rather than relying on built-in heuristics. With the new version, the libc
opens a timer session as a time source only if the 'rtc' attribute of the
'<libc>' configuration node is defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime'
returns 0.
This change may require the adjustment of components that implicitly rely on
the libc as time source. To enable such a component to use relative time
(based on a timer session) but no wall-clock time, one can manually provide a
pseudo real-time clock value as follows:
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev">
! <log/> <null/> <inline name="rtc">2000-01-01 00:00</inline>
! </dir>
! </vfs>
! <libc stdout="/dev/log" stderr="/dev/log" rtc="/dev/rtc"/>
GUI stack and terminal improvements
===================================
Nit-FB improvements
-------------------
The nit_fb component provides a framebuffer and input service while using the
nitpicker GUI server as back end. The new version adds the 'initial_width' and
'initial_height' attributes, which accommodate the use case where nit_fb is
used in a dynamic fashion like as a client of a window system. Here, the
initial dimensions define the initial window size but - in contrast to the
existing 'width' and 'height' attributes - the actual size can change
afterwards.
Terminal resizing
-----------------
The terminal-session interface gained the ability to propagate resize events
from the server to the client. The new version of the graphical terminal uses
this mechanism to support window resizing as well as dynamically changing the
font size. At the client side, noux has become able to reflect terminal-size
changes to noux applications. Applications based on ncurses (e.g., vim) are
able to gracefully respond to such changes now.
Using chroot to enforce read-only file-system access
====================================================
By placing a chroot component in-between a file-system client and server, the
client's view on the file system can be limited to a specific directory. With
the current release, chroot can additionally be used to restrict a writeable
file-system session to become read-only. This is accomplished by the new
'writeable' attribute of chroot's policy nodes. By default, it is set to "no".
API changes
===========
Noncopyable AVL node/tree
-------------------------
Copying an AVL node generally violates the integrity of the corresponding
tree. To rule out subtle bugs where AVL nodes are accidentally copied, AVL
nodes are no longer copyable.
New 'Buffered_xml' utility
--------------------------
The 'Buffered_xml' utility located at _os/buffered_xml.h_ simplifies the
implementation of dynamically reconfigurable components that need to keep a
verbatim copy of certain parts of their configuration during configuration
updates.
New 'List_model' utility
------------------------
More and more components respond to dynamic configuration updates. For most
components, such updates are quite simple: replace an old internal state by a
new one. But in cases like init, menu_view, or window decorator, a
differential update is in order. Until now, each of these components employed
custom code for this task. As this code is not trivial, a common solution is
preferable. This solution comes in the form of the new 'List_model' utility
located at _base/include/util/list_model.h_. It introduces a light-weight
formalism to feed a component-internal data model from an externally-provided
XML structure.
Dynamically expandable reporter utility
---------------------------------------
In many cases, components that generate reports don't explicitly handle the
situation where the default buffer size of 4096 bytes is exceeded by the
report. This problem is easy to miss because reports are often small at
testing time but become larger when deployed in complex scenarios. In most
cases, the best way to handle an 'Xml_generator::Buffer_exceeded' exception is
upgrading the report session. The new 'Expanding_reporter' that accompanies
the original 'Reporter' in _os/reporter.h_ eases the handling of this common
case.
Languages and runtime environments
##################################
Nim programming language
========================
A new Nim library for constructing Genode servers is now available in the
World repository. This module provides utilities for the asynchronous
session-creation procedure introduced in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/16.11#New_session-creation_procedure - 16.11]
release. Some introductory code snippets are provided here for the
adventurous.
An example of server creation using the 'genodeservers' module:
! import romclient, genodeservers
!
! var
! sessionsRom = newRomClient "session_requests"
! # synchronously open a ROM client to the parent
! romContent = sessionsRom.stream.readAll()
! # copy the ROM content to a heap string
! requestsParser = initSessionRequestsParser(romContent)
! # a state machine for parsing 'session_requests' XML
!
! for id, service, label in requestsParser.create:
! # the `create` iterator provider for the parser
! # hides the details of parsing the XML data
! discard txBufSize = requestsParser.argInt "tx_buf_size"
! # extract typed session arguments from the current parser state
! discard label.lastLabelElement()
! # label handling utilities are provided
! if service == "MyService":
! myCreateSessionProc(id, label)
!
This module streamlines the handling of session metadata, but the developer
must still provide hand-crafted wrappers over the C++ methods for managing
RPC objects and passing session capabilities to the parent. Most notoriously
a global pointer symbol, `genodeEnv`, is used to expose the component
environment object. In the future, this will be replaced by a typed object
passed from runtime to an application entry procedure.
! type MySessionCapability {.
! importcpp: "My_session::Session_capability",
! header: "my_session/capability.h".}
! # import a capability type
!
! type MyNativeSessionBase {.
! importcpp: "My_session::Session_rpc_object",
! header: "my_session/rpc_object.h".}
! # import C++ session RPC object
!
! type MyNativeSession = Constructible[MyNativeSessionBase]
! # apply the C++ Constructible template to defer calling
! # the object constructor
!
! proc construct(cppObj: MyNativeSession) {.
! importcpp: "#.construct(*genodeEnv)".}
! # call the C++ constructor, passing the global Genode::Env
!
! proc manage(cppObj: MyNativeSession): MySessionCapability {.
! importcpp: "genodeEnv->ep().manage(*#)".}
! # call a method from the gobal Env, dereferencing
! # thru the Constructible template
!
! type MyNimSessionObj = ref object
! cppImpl: MyNativeSession
! cap: MySessionCapability
! id: SessionId
! # C++ RPC objects are best kept in native
! # reference-counted Nim objects
!
! proc manage(obj: MyNimSessionObj) =
! obj.cppImpl.construct() # call our wrapped constructor
! GC_ref(obj)
! # manually increase the reference count on our session
! # object to prevent the component entrypoint from
! # referencing an RPC object that has been lost and
! # freed from the heap
! obj.cap = obj.cppImpl.manage() # store our capability
!
! proc myCreateSessionProc(id: SessionId): MyNimSessionObj =
! result = new MyNimSessionObj
! # create our object on the heap
! result.manage()
! # construct and manage our RPC object
! result.id = id
! # store the session id from our parent
Procedures for calling Nim code from an RPC object, dissolving
and destructing RPC objects, and managing the session lifetime
are exercises left to the reader.
Updated VirtualBox
==================
Our VirtualBox port got updated from version 5.1.22 to version 5.1.32 in order
to leverage the security updates and improved audio support. Additionally the
boot time of Linux guests got improved by adjusting our custom virtualization
back end.
Libraries and applications
##########################
New trace-logging component
===========================
The new trace-logger component can be used to easily gather, process, and
export different types of tracing data. Furthermore, it marks the next step
towards a user framework that makes access to Genode's manifold tracing
abilities
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Light-weight_event_tracing - 13.08],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.11#Improved_event_tracing - 13.11],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.08#Enhanced_tracing_facilities - 15.08])
intuitive and convenient.
The component can filter the available tracing subjects according to session
label policies and thread names. The processing of the tracing data can then
be configured for each selected subject individually, for groups of subjects,
or for all subjects together. The resulting data is exported as log output.
This is an example configuration of the trace logger, which shows the default
value for each attribute (except policy.thread and policy.label):
! <config verbose="no"
! session_ram="10M"
! session_arg_buffer="4K"
! session_parent_levels="0"
! period_sec="5"
! activity="no"
! affinity="no"
! default_policy="null"
! default_buffer="4K">
!
! <policy label="init -> timer" />
! <policy label_suffix=" -> ram_fs" />
! <policy label_prefix="init -> encryption -> "
! thread="worker"
! policy="null"
! buffer="4K" />
! </config>
The most important features so far when it comes to processing the traced
data are:
* Trace CPU activity and affinity ('activity' and 'affinity' attribute),
* Install individual policies for the creation of further tracing data
('policy' attributes) for instance, 'rpc_name' for a log of issued RPC calls),
* Dimensioning the subject-local trace buffers and the frequency of Trace Logger
data examination ('buffer' and 'period' attributes), and
* Configure the session to the Tracing server ('session' attributes).
A comprehensive documentation of the trace-logger component can be found in
_os/src/app/trace_logger/README_. An example of how to use the component is
given through the run script _os/run/trace_logger.run_.
New component for extracting archives
=====================================
The new 'extract' component located at _libports/src/app/extract_ extracts
the content of an arbitrary number of tar.xz archives according to its
configuration. It is used by the depot-download subsystem described in
Section [On-target package installation and deployment]. The component
is accompanied by the run script _libports/run/extract.run_ that illustrates
its use.
New signature-checking tool based on GnuPG
==========================================
The on-target installation of software packages requires a way to verify
cryptographic signatures of downloaded content within a Genode system.
The new 'verify' component located at _ports/src/app/verify_ facilitates the
code of GnuPG to verify detached OpenPGP signatures against public keys.
Since GnuPG depends on libgcrypt and libgpg-error, ports of those libraries
were added to the libports repository. The component comes with the run
script _ports/run/verify.run_ that demonstrates its usage.
Fetchurl component for downloading files
========================================
Fetchurl is a component for downloading files from the network, based
on the curl library. It used to reside in the genode-world repository.
Since it has become a mandatory part of Genode's on-target software
installation mechanism, we have moved it to the _libports_ repository now.
Besides this relocation, fetchurl received a welcome modernization. In
particular, the new version uses the modern socket-fs infrastructure of
the libc instead of relying on the deprecated libc_lwip plugin as a hard-wired
dependency.
New interactive FLIF image viewer
=================================
A simple image viewing application for the FLIF lossless image format was
written from scratch using the FLIF reference decoder library. The viewer can
be used to interactively view a directory of images and supports animation of
GIF-like FLIF files.
Ported 3rd-party software
=========================
With the current release, the following 3rd-party software becomes available
on Genode:
:[https://www.libarchive.org/ - libarchive]: is a library for uncompressing
and extracting various archive formats. It nicely wraps format-specific
libraries like zlib behind a unified and easy-to-use API. The port can
be found in the _libports_ repository.
:[https://lz4.github.io/lz4/ - lz4] and [https://tukaani.org/xz/ - liblzma]:
implement modern compression algorithms as supported by libarchive.
Thanks to Ben Larson for contributing the port of these libraries.
:[https://www.tcl.tk/ - Tcl]: is used as scripting language for various
Genode tools. With the new 'check_abi' tool described in Section
[Automated ABI consistency checks], the Tcl shell 'tclsh' has become
a dependency of the build system. Therefore, we made 'tclsh' available as
noux package. Note, however, that this port comprises solely the
functionality needed for simple scripting.
:[https://flif.info/ - FLIF]: is a library for the Free Lossless Image
Format. Thanks to Emery Hemingway for making it available in the
genode-world repository.
:[https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki - JSON-C]:
is a library for processing JSON-formatted data. Thanks to
Johannes Kliemann for contributing the port to the genode-world
repository.
:[https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/ldns/ - Drill (ldns)]:
provides a utility for DNS testing. Thanks to Emery Hemingway for adding it
to the genode-world repository as a side activity of improving Genode's
network stack.
Updated packages for the Noux runtime environment
=================================================
The current release updates the following noux packages: less (version 487),
grep (version 3.1), coreutils (version 8.29), tar (version 1.30), findutils
(version 4.6), which (version 2.21), sed (version 4.4), and bash (version
4.4.18). Thanks to Hinnerk van Bruinehsen for this welcome contribution.
Device drivers
##############
Ethernet-driver for i.MX-based Wandboard
========================================
The current release contains a port of the Linux kernel driver for the
Ethernet card family originally produced by Freescale. We followed our
established approach to tailor an independent device-driver environment (DDE)
for the specific driver. To profit from synergies with the existing drivers of
the _dde_linux_ repository, we took the Linux kernel 4.4.3 as reference.
For now the current version is limited to support the Wandboard Quad as this
is the i.MX-based board that is nightly tested by our infrastructure. The
support of other boards using the same IP core is planned for future releases.
The driver can be found in _dde_linux/src/drivers/nic/fec_. To test the driver,
no further configuration is needed and you can have a look at one of the
automatic network tests, like _lwip.run_, as a reference.
Platforms
#########
Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)
====================================
Thanks to Johannes Schlatow from the TU Braunschweig, the support of the
Zynq-7000 boards by our base-hw kernel got extended. It is now possible to use
all CPU cores instead of only the primary one.
Updated Muen separation kernel
==============================
The Muen SK port has been updated to the latest development version 0.9. The
most notable features and improvements are the Crash Audit facility and support
for MirageOS/Solo5 subjects which may be executed alongside Genode/base-hw.
Thanks to this feature, the Muen project has reached a milestone by
self-hosting the [https://muen.sk] website on a Muen system. Currently, the
network driver is provided by a Linux subject but with some work it should be
possible to replace it with a Genode/base-hw nic_drv in the future.
Further details regarding Muen v0.9 can be found in the project's release
notes [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/muen-dev/FPL9sc4yaBE].
Updated seL4 kernel
===================
Our remaining patches regarding UEFI framebuffer support got integrated into
the upstream codebase of the seL4 kernel. Hence, we updated our seL4 port to
the upstream version containing our patches.
Build system and tools
######################
Package management
==================
The package-management tools introduced last year have become a vital part
of Genode's workflow.
:Package management documentation:
[https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/package_management]
Prompted by the development of the on-target installation and deployment
mechanism featured in the current release, the tools received the following
refinements:
:Use of tar.xz as archive format: This change significantly reduces the size of
published depot content compared to the previously used tar.gz format.
:Subdirectories for archive versions:
In the original version of the depot layout, archives were named as
'<archive-name>-<version>'. Hence, the depot - in particular the download
location - had directories that grew in two dimensions. First, when new
archives were added. Second, when new versions of existing archives were
added (usually corresponding to Genode's release cycle). In the mid-term,
this would have resulted in a huge number of directory entries, e.g., in the
_src/_ subdirectory. To avoid this problem, the new version uses the scheme
'<archive-name>/<version>' instead. This way, at the _src/_ level, each
archive has one subdirectory (the number of subdirectories corresponds to
the number of archives). Inside the subdirectory, there is one entry per
version.
:Controlled rebuild of binary archives:
When calling the depot/create tool for a binary archive with 'FORCE=1', the
underlying source archives are re-extracted and the binary archive is
rebuilt. This is usually done after local changes in the source tree to
apply version updates to depot archives as needed. However, the implicit
rebuild is superfluous whenever the source-version remains the same. This is
particular inconvenient when re-creating pkg archives that refer to a large
number of src archives. Here, all binaries referenced by the pkg archive are
rebuilt each time. The new 'REBUILD' argument allows the user to skip
superfluous rebuilds in such situations. Normally, 'FORCE=1' implies
'REBUILD=1'. However, by explicitly specifying 'REBUILD=', existing binary
archives whose versions remain unchanged are kept instead of being rebuilt.
Offline validation of XML configurations
========================================
The _tool/run_ tool now automatically checks configurations against
target-specific XML schemes. Each component may define a configuration
scheme-file in its _target.mk_ file as follows:
! CONFIG_XSD = my_config.xsd
When the run tool checks the configuration of an instance of Genode's init
component, it additionally iterates through all start nodes of this
configuration. For each start node, it checks whether the according component
provides a configuration-scheme file and, if so, applies it to the
configuration inside the start node. This is done recursively. I.e., also the
child configurations of a sub-init of a sub-init ... of the top-level init
are covered this way.
Whenever the run tool detects an error in one of the checked configurations,
it stops and points out the location of the error. By now, there exist
configuration schemes for the init, the NIC router, and the trace logger
components. Our intention is that every component that interprets its
configuration will eventually be accompanied by such a scheme - not only to
validate actual configuration input but also to serve as documentation for
users of the component.
Automated ABI consistency checks
================================
In [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Genode_Application_Binary_Interface - version 17.02],
we introduced a kernel-agnostic ABI, which ultimately paved the ground for
Genode's package management. For the time being, the ABI is not set in stone.
It is expected to evolve for some time until it hopefully approaches ABI
stability in the mid term. Whenever Genode's API changes, the ABI may be
affected. For example, symbol sizes may grow. Until now, side effects on the
ABI had to be curated manually. In practice, however, such side effects are
too easy to miss. Therefore, the current release adds a mandatory ABI checking
step to the build process. A new _tool/check_abi_ tool is invoked whenever a
shared object is built. It reports flaws in the ABI definition (such as
duplicated symbols) as well as inconsistencies between a shared object and its
ABI.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 18.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
After being developed for over a decade, Genode remained a mystery for many
people who looked at the project from a distance as it does not seem to fit
any established category of software. In 2018 - declared as the Year of Sculpt
on our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap] - this will hopefully
change. Genode 18.02 features the first revision of Sculpt, which is a
Genode-based operating system for general-purpose computing. After being used
as day-to-day OS by the entire team of Genode Labs for several months, we feel
that the time is right to share the system with a broader audience (Section
[Sculpt for Early Adopters]).
One fundamental feature of Sculpt is the ability to install and deploy
software from within the running operating system, which is universally
expected from any modern general-purpose OS. Section
[On-target package installation and deployment] presents Genode's unique
take on the topic of software installation and deployment.
Besides Sculpt, the current release has no shortage of other improvements.
Genode's growing arsenal of 3rd-party software received profound updates and
additions, including VirtualBox, Muen, seL4, several GNU packages, and
libraries. Also the user-level networking stack - including the Linux-based
LxIP stack and our custom NIC-router component - received a lot of attention.
Thanks to the added network driver for i.MX-based hardware, this networking
infrastructure becomes usable on embedded platforms based on this SoC.
Furthermore, the current release continues the cultivation of the Nim
programming language for Genode components.
Sculpt for Early Adopters
#########################
The current release features the first revision of Sculpt, which is a
Genode-based operating system for general-purpose computing. This initial
version is called Sculpt for Early Adopters (EA). Its target audience are
enthusiasts who are already familiar with Genode and are eager to use a
Genode-based operating system on their machines. As outlined on the
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap], later versions will become
increasingly approachable.
[image sculpt_overview]
Please refer to the official
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-ea - Sculpt documentation]
to step right into the adventure.
On-target package installation and deployment
#############################################
In May last year, we introduced the package-management concept for Genode to
pursue two goals. First, to overcome the naturally limited scalability of
composing Genode systems solely from source. This limit became evident in
complex system scenarios that incorporate a huge amount of 3rd party software.
Thanks to the introduced _depot_ concept and its integration in Genode's
workflow - in particular the run tool - the work of system integration became
much more structured (by caring about packages instead of individual build
targets), robust (by avoiding conditions in run scripts), and quick (by the
accelerated test cycle when using pre-built packages).
The second goal is the ability to update and extend a running Genode system on
the fly. We are happy to have reached this goal with the current release. As
exemplified by the Sculpt scenario, packages cannot only be used as building
blocks for system images but also as subsystems dynamically installed and
deployed on target. Even though installation and deployment are closely
related topics, both involve distinct challenges, which allow Genode to shine.
Installation / update
=====================
In traditional operating systems, the installation and update of system
software is the job of privileged programs. For example, a package manager in
a GNU/Linux system is typically executed with root privileges. This is
troublesome because the functionality of such a program is extremely complex.
In particular it is exposed to the network and has to parse content
originating from potentially untrusted parties. Therefore, potential software
vulnerabilities should be expected. However, in modern OSes, these programs
are just assumed to behave correctly. If this overly optimistic assumption
doesn't hold, the entire system is at risk.
Genode helps us to mitigate this problem by modelling each installation step
as a distinct component composition where each component has a well-defined
and extremely narrow role. The installation is an iterative sequence that
is orchestrated by the so-called download-manager component
(Figure [depot_download]).
[image depot_download]
Initially, the download manager receives a list of content to be installed
into the local depot, which is stored on the file system. The depot may
already be populated with (portions of) this content. In the first step, the
download manager must determine the parts that are missing. To do that, it
does not access the file system directly but instead hands over this task to a
disposable helper component called _depot-query_ that is spawned within a
dynamic init instance. This indirection has two benefits. First, the download
manager is not bothered with the complexity of accessing the file system. It
does not even have any notion of files. Second, the download manager is
effectively shielded from the file system. Should the file system misbehave,
the liveliness of the download manager remains unaffected.
[image depot_download_query_deps]
The depot-query component reports its findings to a report session. The report
eventually reaches the download manager as an updated ROM module. Given the
list of missing content, the download manager has to determine the information
of where to obtain the content from and the public key of the content creator.
This information is contained within the depot. So the download manager issues
another request to the depot-query component in order to obtain it.
[image depot_download_query_url]
Once the depot-query component has responded, the download manager knows what
content to get, where to get it, and how to verify it. To download the
content, it changes the dynamic init instance as follows.
[image depot_download_fetch]
The depot-query component is now gone. Actually, the entire depot has moved
out of sight. Instead, a fresh _fetchurl_ component is spawned. This component
is connected to the network as well as the writeable download directory
_public/_. Internally, fetchurl employs a complex software stack, which
includes the C runtime, curl, libssl, and libssh. Hence, we expect this
component to be vulnerable. Since it is facing the network, we assume that
vulnerabilities are exploitable. In the worst case where the component is
completely in the hands of an attacker, it may write wrong content into the
_public/_ location. But compared to executing curl or wget as root on a
traditional Unix system, the reach of an attack is quite limited. For example,
the mere existence of the download manager remains completely out of view of
fetchurl. However, the content of _public/_ must not be trusted. To reinforce
trust in the downloaded content, the content is accompanied with cryptographic
signatures created by the content creator. Before we touch the content, we
first check its authenticity. To perform this verification step, the download
manager reshapes the dynamic init instance as follows.
[image depot_download_verify]
Note that fetchurl exists no more and network connectivity is cut, effectively
disposing any form of malware that might have infected fetchurl. Next a new
_verify_ component enters the picture. It is configured with a list of content
to check, the signatures of the content, and the public key of the content's
presumed creator. Since it accesses the _public/_ location exclusively, it is
not prone to any potential time-of-check to time-of-use problems during the
verification. Under the hood, the _verify_ component employs a hugely complex
implementation based on GnuPG. It would be naive to fully trust this code.
However, when embedded in our scenario, the reach of a bug is limited because
the verify component has no access to any mutable system state. It could
merely give the wrong answer (which is of course bad but there is no way we
can magically solve this).
Knowing that the downloaded content is indeed the same content as intended
by the creator, it is time for extraction. For this step, the download
manager - again - reshapes the dynamic init instance:
[image depot_download_extract]
This time, both the _public/_ location as well as the trusted _depot/_ are
visible and a new _extract_ component is spawned. As the depot may host
content from multiple sources, which potentially distrust each other, the
content of each content provider resides in a dedicated subdirectory within
the depot. Instead of handing over access to the entire depot to the extract
tool, we mediate the file-system access via a _chroot_ component that limits
the view to the depot-provider's respective subdirectory. In the worst case
where a misbehaving content provider delivers a forged (but correctly signed)
archive to exploit a vulnerability of the extract component, the reach of the
attack remains limited to the content provider's space within the depot.
After the extraction step has completed, the depot is populated with the new
content, which may - in turn - include new dependency information. At this
point, the download manager starts a new iteration. This iterative process
terminates as soon as the depot-query component signals that no content of
the software installation is missing.
The bottom line here is that we are able to use complex and useful software
like curl, libarchive, liblzma, and GnuPG while largely distrusting it. In
contrast to this software that sums up to hundreds of thousand lines of code,
the download manager comprises less than 1000 lines of code. The software
installation procedure described above is implemented by the 'depot_download'
subsystem hosted in the gems repository and illustrated by an equally named
run script. It also forms the basis of the install/update mechanism of the
Sculpt scenario.
Deployment
==========
Once software has entered the system in the form of depot content, the
remaining question is how to turn this content into running subsystems. The
answer is given by the following illustration.
[image sculpt_deploy_runtime]
Like for the installation process described above, the scenario employs a
dynamic init instance that is accompanied by an orchestrating component. The
latter is called _depot-deploy_. The depot-deploy component queries
information from the depot using the same depot-query component that was used
during the installation. Based on the returned _blueprint_ information for the
to-be-deployed subsystems, it generates the configuration for the dynamic init
instance. The subsystems hosted within this init instance access the depot
content via mere ROM sessions as provided by the FS-ROM component. This makes
the use of the depot transparent to the hosted subsystems.
The depot-deploy component is located in the gems repository and accompanied
by a same-named run script. More importantly, it is featured in the deploy
runtime of the Sculpt system.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Increased default warning level
===============================
For building Genode components written in C++, the compiler
flags -Wextra, -Weffc++, and -Werror are now enabled in addition
to -Wall by default.
If this strict warning level is inapplicable for a given component or
library, it is possible to explicitly disable the strictness in the
respective build-description file by adding the following line:
! CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT =
We adjusted almost all the code of the base, base-<kernel>, os, and demo
repositories to comply with this new warning level. For most components
hosted in the higher-level repositories (libports, ports, dde_*, gems),
the strictness is disabled as of now and will be enabled component-wise
wherever feasible.
While adjusting our code base, we identified the following patterns worth
mentioning:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classes without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are. The 'Interface' utility resides in
_base/include/util/interface.h_.
* With the new warning level, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed by inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and the assignment operator as private class members.
Those declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
! /*
! * Noncopyable
! */
! Thread(Thread const &);
! Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we plan to revisit these occurrences and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
The following caveats are expected, even if you disable the strictness
in your component:
* If your component has a class called 'Interface', it may collide with
the new 'Genode::Interface' class. You may have to disambiguate the
names.
* The 'Genode::Rpc_client' is no longer a 'Genode::Capability'. Hence,
classes inherited from 'Genode::Rpc_client' cannot refer to a
'Capability' but must refer to 'Genode::Capability'.
* The 'Surface' class is no longer copyable, which led to API
changes of users of this class. E.g., the 'Nitpicker_buffer'
utility does no longer offer accessors for the contained surfaces
but a new 'apply_to_surface' method that takes a lambda function as
argument.
Init
====
Init selects session routes based on the requested service and the client's
label. The latter can be matched as 'label' (exact match), 'label_prefix', or
'label_suffix' (either end of the label matches). With the new version, these
options are complemented with an additional 'label_last' attribute that covers
the prominent case where the last part of the label identifies a requested
resource at the server. A typical example is the routing of a ROM session
based on the name of the requested ROM module.
Reflecting the core log to the application level
================================================
Core records now log messages in a ring buffer and exports this
memory as ROM named 'core_log'. User applications may monitor this ring buffer
and present or transfer the content as appropriate. The example component in
_repos/os/src/app/log_core_ transforms the content into normal log
messages, which may be routed to graphical terminals or stored on
file systems, e.g. by using the fs_log server.
NIC-router improvements
=======================
During the past three months, the NIC router has received several improvements
that were mainly inspired by our daily experience with the component as part
of our Sculpt based working environments.
The most notable new feature is the support for multiple NIC sessions at one
domain. If multiple NIC-session clients connect to one domain, the NIC router
acts as a simple hub between them. I.e., for every packet that is routed to
the domain, each connected session receives a copy of the packet. The same
applies for domain-local packets, meaning packets that target an IP address
inside the IP subnet of the domain they came from. This domain-local
forwarding applies before considering any other routing rules. So, in other
words, it is not possible to route such traffic to another domain.
Furthermore, the logging features of the NIC router were improved. First, the
router is now capable of periodically sending a report via Genode's report
session. This can be activated by adding the new '<report>' node to the router
configuration:
! <config>
! <report interval_sec="5" bytes="yes" config="yes">
! ...
! </config>
So far, the report provides per-domain information about the amount of sent
and received data ('bytes' attribute) and the current IPv4 configuration like
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address ('config' attribute).
Second, there is a new verbosity option in the '<config>' node:
! <config verbose_domain_state="yes">
When this option is set, the NIC router will output a short message to the log
for each general state change of a domain. Currently, this includes the
IP-configuration state (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) and the
number of connected NIC sessions. This is a useful addition because the
purpose of the regular verbose option is to give a very deep insight into
almost every activity of the router, which is vital for debugging
sophisticated problems but normally floods the log. Therefore, the regular
verbose option is not viable for complex setups like a Sculpt desktop
environment. In such a context, the new domain-state verbosity is pretty
discreet but already gives a good hint on why, for instance, packets get
dropped despite the routing rules being correct.
Last but not least, the timeout configuration of the NIC router has been
reworked and now allows for a much more precise adaption to the network
environment. The former 'rtt_sec' attribute of the '<config>' node has been
replaced by the following new attributes (default values shown):
! <config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
! dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
! dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
! udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
! tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
! tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">
Details about the new attributes can be found in the
_os/src/server/nic_router/README_ file. The default values should be
appropriate for the common use case so that specifying them is normally not
necessary.
New watch mechanism for file-system session
===========================================
The file-system session already provided a way for watching files or
directories for changes. However, the original mechanism was arguably hard to
use. In addition to opening the to-be-watched file-system node, the client had
to submit a so-called content-changed request into the session's request
queue. In turn, the server delivered the change notification by acknowledging
this request.
The new mechanism is much less bureaucratic. A file or directory can be
watched by opening a watch handle rather than submitting a 'CONTENT_CHANGED'
packet to the server. Whenever a change happens at a node with an open watch
handle, a CONTENT_CHANGED packet will be sent from the server to the client.
This serializes the registration with other handle operations and separates
I/O handle state from notification handle state.
C runtime
=========
We changed libc's handling of 'clock_gettime' to be explicitly configurable
rather than relying on built-in heuristics. With the new version, the libc
opens a timer session as a time source only if the 'rtc' attribute of the
'<libc>' configuration node is defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime'
returns 0.
This change may require the adjustment of components that implicitly rely on
the libc as time source. To enable such a component to use relative time
(based on a timer session) but no wall-clock time, one can manually provide a
pseudo real-time clock value as follows:
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev">
! <log/> <null/> <inline name="rtc">2000-01-01 00:00</inline>
! </dir>
! </vfs>
! <libc stdout="/dev/log" stderr="/dev/log" rtc="/dev/rtc"/>
GUI stack and terminal improvements
===================================
Nit-FB improvements
-------------------
The nit_fb component provides a framebuffer and input service while using the
nitpicker GUI server as back end. The new version adds the 'initial_width' and
'initial_height' attributes, which accommodate the use case where nit_fb is
used in a dynamic fashion like as a client of a window system. Here, the
initial dimensions define the initial window size but - in contrast to the
existing 'width' and 'height' attributes - the actual size can change
afterwards.
Terminal resizing
-----------------
The terminal-session interface gained the ability to propagate resize events
from the server to the client. The new version of the graphical terminal uses
this mechanism to support window resizing as well as dynamically changing the
font size. At the client side, noux has become able to reflect terminal-size
changes to noux applications. Applications based on ncurses (e.g., vim) are
able to gracefully respond to such changes now.
Using chroot to enforce read-only file-system access
====================================================
By placing a chroot component in-between a file-system client and server, the
client's view on the file system can be limited to a specific directory. With
the current release, chroot can additionally be used to restrict a writeable
file-system session to become read-only. This is accomplished by the new
'writeable' attribute of chroot's policy nodes. By default, it is set to "no".
API changes
===========
Noncopyable AVL node/tree
-------------------------
Copying an AVL node generally violates the integrity of the corresponding
tree. To rule out subtle bugs where AVL nodes are accidentally copied, AVL
nodes are no longer copyable.
New 'Buffered_xml' utility
--------------------------
The 'Buffered_xml' utility located at _os/buffered_xml.h_ simplifies the
implementation of dynamically reconfigurable components that need to keep a
verbatim copy of certain parts of their configuration during configuration
updates.
New 'List_model' utility
------------------------
More and more components respond to dynamic configuration updates. For most
components, such updates are quite simple: replace an old internal state by a
new one. But in cases like init, menu_view, or window decorator, a
differential update is in order. Until now, each of these components employed
custom code for this task. As this code is not trivial, a common solution is
preferable. This solution comes in the form of the new 'List_model' utility
located at _base/include/util/list_model.h_. It introduces a light-weight
formalism to feed a component-internal data model from an externally-provided
XML structure.
Dynamically expandable reporter utility
---------------------------------------
In many cases, components that generate reports don't explicitly handle the
situation where the default buffer size of 4096 bytes is exceeded by the
report. This problem is easy to miss because reports are often small at
testing time but become larger when deployed in complex scenarios. In most
cases, the best way to handle an 'Xml_generator::Buffer_exceeded' exception is
upgrading the report session. The new 'Expanding_reporter' that accompanies
the original 'Reporter' in _os/reporter.h_ eases the handling of this common
case.
Languages and runtime environments
##################################
Nim programming language
========================
A new Nim library for constructing Genode servers is now available in the
World repository. This module provides utilities for the asynchronous
session-creation procedure introduced in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/16.11#New_session-creation_procedure - 16.11]
release. Some introductory code snippets are provided here for the
adventurous.
An example of server creation using the 'genodeservers' module:
! import romclient, genodeservers
!
! var
! sessionsRom = newRomClient "session_requests"
! # synchronously open a ROM client to the parent
! romContent = sessionsRom.stream.readAll()
! # copy the ROM content to a heap string
! requestsParser = initSessionRequestsParser(romContent)
! # a state machine for parsing 'session_requests' XML

This module streamlines the handling of session metadata, but the developer
must still provide hand-crafted wrappers over the C++ methods for managing
RPC objects and passing session capabilities to the parent. Most notoriously
a global pointer symbol, `genodeEnv`, is used to expose the component
environment object. In the future, this will be replaced by a typed object
passed from runtime to an application entry procedure.

! result = new MyNimSessionObj
! # create our object on the heap

Procedures for calling Nim code from an RPC object, dissolving
and destructing RPC objects, and managing the session lifetime
are exercises left to the reader.
Updated VirtualBox
==================
Our VirtualBox port got updated from version 5.1.22 to version 5.1.32 in order
to leverage the security updates and improved audio support. Additionally the
boot time of Linux guests got improved by adjusting our custom virtualization
back end.
Libraries and applications
##########################
New trace-logging component
===========================
The new trace-logger component can be used to easily gather, process, and
export different types of tracing data. Furthermore, it marks the next step
towards a user framework that makes access to Genode's manifold tracing
abilities
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Light-weight_event_tracing - 13.08],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.11#Improved_event_tracing - 13.11],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.08#Enhanced_tracing_facilities - 15.08])
intuitive and convenient.
The component can filter the available tracing subjects according to session
label policies and thread names. The processing of the tracing data can then
be configured for each selected subject individually, for groups of subjects,
or for all subjects together. The resulting data is exported as log output.
This is an example configuration of the trace logger, which shows the default
value for each attribute (except policy.thread and policy.label):
! <config verbose="no"
! session_ram="10M"
! session_arg_buffer="4K"
! session_parent_levels="0"
! period_sec="5"
! activity="no"
! affinity="no"
! default_policy="null"
! default_buffer="4K">
!
! <policy label="init -> timer" />
! <policy label_suffix=" -> ram_fs" />
! <policy label_prefix="init -> encryption -> "
! thread="worker"
! policy="null"
! buffer="4K" />
! </config>
The most important features so far when it comes to processing the traced
data are:
* Trace CPU activity and affinity ('activity' and 'affinity' attribute),
* Install individual policies for the creation of further tracing data
('policy' attributes) for instance, 'rpc_name' for a log of issued RPC calls),
* Dimensioning the subject-local trace buffers and the frequency of Trace Logger
data examination ('buffer' and 'period' attributes), and
* Configure the session to the Tracing server ('session' attributes).
A comprehensive documentation of the trace-logger component can be found in
_os/src/app/trace_logger/README_. An example of how to use the component is
given through the run script _os/run/trace_logger.run_.
New component for extracting archives
=====================================
The new 'extract' component located at _libports/src/app/extract_ extracts
the content of an arbitrary number of tar.xz archives according to its
configuration. It is used by the depot-download subsystem described in
Section [On-target package installation and deployment]. The component
is accompanied by the run script _libports/run/extract.run_ that illustrates
its use.
New signature-checking tool based on GnuPG
==========================================
The on-target installation of software packages requires a way to verify
cryptographic signatures of downloaded content within a Genode system.
The new 'verify' component located at _ports/src/app/verify_ facilitates the
code of GnuPG to verify detached OpenPGP signatures against public keys.
Since GnuPG depends on libgcrypt and libgpg-error, ports of those libraries
were added to the libports repository. The component comes with the run
script _ports/run/verify.run_ that demonstrates its usage.
Fetchurl component for downloading files
========================================
Fetchurl is a component for downloading files from the network, based
on the curl library. It used to reside in the genode-world repository.
Since it has become a mandatory part of Genode's on-target software
installation mechanism, we have moved it to the _libports_ repository now.
Besides this relocation, fetchurl received a welcome modernization. In
particular, the new version uses the modern socket-fs infrastructure of
the libc instead of relying on the deprecated libc_lwip plugin as a hard-wired
dependency.
New interactive FLIF image viewer
=================================
A simple image viewing application for the FLIF lossless image format was
written from scratch using the FLIF reference decoder library. The viewer can
be used to interactively view a directory of images and supports animation of
GIF-like FLIF files.
Ported 3rd-party software
=========================
With the current release, the following 3rd-party software becomes available
on Genode:
:[https://www.libarchive.org/ - libarchive]: is a library for uncompressing
and extracting various archive formats. It nicely wraps format-specific
libraries like zlib behind a unified and easy-to-use API. The port can
be found in the _libports_ repository.
:[https://lz4.github.io/lz4/ - lz4] and [https://tukaani.org/xz/ - liblzma]:
implement modern compression algorithms as supported by libarchive.
Thanks to Ben Larson for contributing the port of these libraries.
:[https://www.tcl.tk/ - Tcl]: is used as scripting language for various
Genode tools. With the new 'check_abi' tool described in Section
[Automated ABI consistency checks], the Tcl shell 'tclsh' has become
a dependency of the build system. Therefore, we made 'tclsh' available as
noux package. Note, however, that this port comprises solely the
functionality needed for simple scripting.
:[https://flif.info/ - FLIF]: is a library for the Free Lossless Image
Format. Thanks to Emery Hemingway for making it available in the
genode-world repository.
:[https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki - JSON-C]:
is a library for processing JSON-formatted data. Thanks to
Johannes Kliemann for contributing the port to the genode-world
repository.
:[https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/ldns/ - Drill (ldns)]:
provides a utility for DNS testing. Thanks to Emery Hemingway for adding it
to the genode-world repository as a side activity of improving Genode's
network stack.
Updated packages for the Noux runtime environment
=================================================
The current release updates the following noux packages: less (version 487),
grep (version 3.1), coreutils (version 8.29), tar (version 1.30), findutils
(version 4.6), which (version 2.21), sed (version 4.4), and bash (version
4.4.18). Thanks to Hinnerk van Bruinehsen for this welcome contribution.
Device drivers
##############
Ethernet-driver for i.MX-based Wandboard
========================================
The current release contains a port of the Linux kernel driver for the
Ethernet card family originally produced by Freescale. We followed our
established approach to tailor an independent device-driver environment (DDE)
for the specific driver. To profit from synergies with the existing drivers of
the _dde_linux_ repository, we took the Linux kernel 4.4.3 as reference.
For now the current version is limited to support the Wandboard Quad as this
is the i.MX-based board that is nightly tested by our infrastructure. The
support of other boards using the same IP core is planned for future releases.
The driver can be found in _dde_linux/src/drivers/nic/fec_. To test the driver,
no further configuration is needed and you can have a look at one of the
automatic network tests, like _lwip.run_, as a reference.
Platforms
#########
Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)
====================================
Thanks to Johannes Schlatow from the TU Braunschweig, the support of the
Zynq-7000 boards by our base-hw kernel got extended. It is now possible to use
all CPU cores instead of only the primary one.
Updated Muen separation kernel
==============================
The Muen SK port has been updated to the latest development version 0.9. The
most notable features and improvements are the Crash Audit facility and support
for MirageOS/Solo5 subjects which may be executed alongside Genode/base-hw.
Thanks to this feature, the Muen project has reached a milestone by
self-hosting the [https://muen.sk] website on a Muen system. Currently, the
network driver is provided by a Linux subject but with some work it should be
possible to replace it with a Genode/base-hw nic_drv in the future.
Further details regarding Muen v0.9 can be found in the project's release
notes [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/muen-dev/FPL9sc4yaBE].
Updated seL4 kernel
===================
Our remaining patches regarding UEFI framebuffer support got integrated into
the upstream codebase of the seL4 kernel. Hence, we updated our seL4 port to
the upstream version containing our patches.
Build system and tools
######################
Package management
==================
The package-management tools introduced last year have become a vital part
of Genode's workflow.
:Package management documentation:
[https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/package_management]
Prompted by the development of the on-target installation and deployment
mechanism featured in the current release, the tools received the following
refinements:
:Use of tar.xz as archive format: This change significantly reduces the size of
published depot content compared to the previously used tar.gz format.
:Subdirectories for archive versions:
In the original version of the depot layout, archives were named as
'<archive-name>-<version>'. Hence, the depot - in particular the download
location - had directories that grew in two dimensions. First, when new
archives were added. Second, when new versions of existing archives were
added (usually corresponding to Genode's release cycle). In the mid-term,
this would have resulted in a huge number of directory entries, e.g., in the
_src/_ subdirectory. To avoid this problem, the new version uses the scheme
'<archive-name>/<version>' instead. This way, at the _src/_ level, each
archive has one subdirectory (the number of subdirectories corresponds to
the number of archives). Inside the subdirectory, there is one entry per
version.
:Controlled rebuild of binary archives:
When calling the depot/create tool for a binary archive with 'FORCE=1', the
underlying source archives are re-extracted and the binary archive is
rebuilt. This is usually done after local changes in the source tree to
apply version updates to depot archives as needed. However, the implicit
rebuild is superfluous whenever the source-version remains the same. This is
particular inconvenient when re-creating pkg archives that refer to a large
number of src archives. Here, all binaries referenced by the pkg archive are
rebuilt each time. The new 'REBUILD' argument allows the user to skip
superfluous rebuilds in such situations. Normally, 'FORCE=1' implies
'REBUILD=1'. However, by explicitly specifying 'REBUILD=', existing binary
archives whose versions remain unchanged are kept instead of being rebuilt.
Offline validation of XML configurations
========================================
The _tool/run_ tool now automatically checks configurations against
target-specific XML schemes. Each component may define a configuration
scheme-file in its _target.mk_ file as follows:
! CONFIG_XSD = my_config.xsd
When the run tool checks the configuration of an instance of Genode's init
component, it additionally iterates through all start nodes of this
configuration. For each start node, it checks whether the according component
provides a configuration-scheme file and, if so, applies it to the
configuration inside the start node. This is done recursively. I.e., also the
child configurations of a sub-init of a sub-init ... of the top-level init
are covered this way.
Whenever the run tool detects an error in one of the checked configurations,
it stops and points out the location of the error. By now, there exist
configuration schemes for the init, the NIC router, and the trace logger
components. Our intention is that every component that interprets its
configuration will eventually be accompanied by such a scheme - not only to
validate actual configuration input but also to serve as documentation for
users of the component.
Automated ABI consistency checks
================================
In [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Genode_Application_Binary_Interface - version 17.02],
we introduced a kernel-agnostic ABI, which ultimately paved the ground for
Genode's package management. For the time being, the ABI is not set in stone.
It is expected to evolve for some time until it hopefully approaches ABI
stability in the mid term. Whenever Genode's API changes, the ABI may be
affected. For example, symbol sizes may grow. Until now, side effects on the
ABI had to be curated manually. In practice, however, such side effects are
too easy to miss. Therefore, the current release adds a mandatory ABI checking
step to the build process. A new _tool/check_abi_ tool is invoked whenever a
shared object is built. It reports flaws in the ABI definition (such as
duplicated symbols) as well as inconsistencies between a shared object and its
ABI.

===============================================
Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 20.11
===============================================
Genode Labs
With Genode 20.11, we focused on the scalability of real-world application
workloads, and nurtured Genode's support for 64-bit ARM hardware. We thereby
follow the overarching goal to run highly sophisticated Genode-based systems
on devices of various form factors.
When speaking of real-world workloads, we acknowledge that we cannot always
know the exact behavior of applications. The system must deal gracefully with
many unknowns: The roles and CPU intensity of threads, the interplay of
application code with I/O, memory-pressure situations, or the sudden fragility
of otherwise very useful code. The worst case must always be anticipated. In
traditional operating systems, this implies that the OS kernel needs to be
aware of certain behavioral patterns of the applications, and has to take
decisions based on heuristics. Think of CPU scheduling, load balancing among
CPU cores, driving power-saving features of the hardware, memory swapping,
caching, and responding to near-fatal situations like OOM.
Genode allows us to move such complex heuristics outside the kernel into
dedicated components. Our new CPU balancer described in Section
[CPU-load balancing] is a living poster child of our approach. With this
optional component, a part of a Genode system can be subjected to a CPU-load
balancing policy of arbitrary complexity without affecting the quality of
service of unrelated components, and without polluting the OS kernel with
complexity.
A second aspect of real-world workloads is that they are usually *not*
designed for Genode. To accommodate the wealth of time tested applications, we
need to bridge the massive gap between APIs of olde (think of POSIX) and
Genode's clean-slate interfaces.
Section [Streamlined ioctl handling in the C runtime / VFS] shows how the
current release leverages our novel VFS concept for the emulation of
traditional ioctl-based interfaces. So useful existing applications come to
live without compromising the architectural benefits of Genode.
Platform-wise, the new release continues our mission to host Genode-based
systems such as [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS] on 64-bit
ARM hardware. This work entails intensive development of device drivers and
the overall driver architecture.
Section [Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM hardware (i.MX8 EVK)] reports on the
achievement of bringing Sculpt to 64-bit i.MX8 hardware. This line of work
goes almost hand in hand with the improvements of our custom virtual machine
monitor for ARM as outlined in Section [Multicore virtualization on ARM].
CPU-load balancing
##################
Migrating load over CPUs may be desirable in dynamic scenarios, where the
workload is not known in advance or too complex. For example, in case of POSIX
software ported to Genode, amount and roles of threads and processes can
generally not planned for. With the current release, we add an optional CPU
service designated for such dynamic scenarios. The new component called
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2020-11-16-cpu-balancer - CPU balancer] is able
to monitor threads and their utilization behaviour. Depending on configured
policies, the balancer can instruct Genode's core via the CPU session
interface to migrate threads between CPUs.
[image cpu_balancer]
The CPU balancer intercepts the interaction of a Genode subsystem
(workload) with core's low-level CPU service.
This feature requires a kernel that supports thread migration, which are
Fiasco.OC, seL4, and to some degree the NOVA kernel. For the NOVA kernel,
solely threads with an attached scheduling context can be migrated, which are
'Genode::Thread' and POSIX pthread instances. Genode's entrypoint and virtual
CPU instances are not supported.
The feature can be tested by the scenario located at _repos/os/run/cpu_balancer.run_.
Further information regarding policy configuration, a demo integration into
Sculpt 20.08, and a screencast video are available as a dedicated
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2020-11-16-cpu-balancer - CPU balancer]
article.
Sculpt OS on 64-bit ARM hardware (i.MX8 EVK)
############################################
Within the last year, a lot of effort was put into Genode's support for ARM
64-bit hardware. A consequent next step was to port Sculpt OS to the i.MX8 EVK
board, which we have used so far as reference platform. With the current
release, we proudly present the first incarnation of Sculpt OS for this board.
In contrast to the original x86 PC variant, this first ARM version ships with
a static set of devices inside the drivers subsystem. No device manager
component probes for the used hardware and starts drivers on demand. Instead,
the set of drivers defined in the _drivers_managed-imx8q_evk_ package enables
USB HID devices to make use of mouse and keyboard peripherals connected to the
board. It drives the SD-card, which can be used as storage back end for
Genode's depot package management. Finally, it contains drivers to manage the
display engine and the platform's device resources.
With Sculpt OS for ARM 64-bit, we not only aim for classical desktop/notebook
systems - like on x86 - but also for embedded consumer hardware like phones
and tablets. In order to leverage this goal, we enabled support for
[https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/i-mx-8-series-accessory-boards:i.MX8-ACCESSORY-BOARDS - NXP's MX8_DSI_OLED1]
display on the i.MX8 platform on Genode. The panel features an OLED display as
well as a Synaptics RMI4 compliant touch screen.
Genode's i.MX8 display driver that we released with version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.02#Display_engine - 20.02]
supported HDMI devices only, whereas the OLED display is connected via
[https://www.mipi.org/specifications/dsi - MIPI DSI] to the SoC. Therefore, we
extended the display driver by the MIPI DSI infrastructure as well as the
actual driver for the OLED display. This endeavor turned out to be a very
rocky one, which we have documented in detail on our
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2020-09-30-mipi_touch - Genodians] website.
[image imx8_oled]
The administrative user interface of Sculpt OS responds to touch input.
In order to enable the touch screen device, we implemented a new Genode
component from scratch. The touch screen is connected via an I2C bus to the
SoC where data can be sent to and received from. At the moment, the I2C
implementation is hidden within the driver but as more devices require I2C
access, it will eventually become a standalone component. Interrupts are
delivered via GPIO pins from the touch screen to the SoC, which made it
necessary to enable i.MX8 support within Genode's generic i.MX GPIO driver. We
took this as an opportunity to streamline, cleanup, and make the driver more
robust. Additionally, all driver components now take advantage of the new
platform driver API for ARM that has been introduced with release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.05#New_platform_driver_for_the_ARM_universe - 20.05].
In its current incarnation, the driver for the display management is not able
to switch in between HDMI or MIPI-DSI connected displays dynamically.
Therefore, the display to be used in Sculpt has to be configured in the
framebuffer configuration manually. By default the HDMI connector is used.
Beyond the driver subsystem, there are few components dependent on the actual
hardware, which is why the look & feel of the Sculpt desktop does not actually
differ from the x86 PC version, with the following exceptions:
When you select the network configuration dialog, you'll have no "Wifi" option
because of the missing hardware. However, the "Wired" option allows you to
start the corresponding driver for the i.MX FEC Ethernet device. The second
difference to the Sculpt OS x86 PC variant is the absence of a virtual machine
solution at the moment. Although Genode comprises a mature
virtual-machine-monitor solution for ARM - see
Section [Multicore virtualization on ARM] - it still lacks a reasonable
storage back end. Therefore, we left virtualization out of the picture for
now. Lastly, there is no possibility to use USB block devices, because the
required management component - a driver manager for i.MX8 - does not exist
yet. We plan to bridge these remaining few gaps compared to the x86 version
with the upcoming Genode releases.
To give Sculpt a try on the i.MX8 EVK board, you have to start the well-known
Sculpt run-script as usual, but for the base-hw kernel. For example:
! tool/create_builddir arm_v8a
! cd build/arm_v8a
! make run/sculpt KERNEL=hw BOARD=imx8q_evk
Under the hood, the run script requests a sculpt-<board> specific package from
the depot package system. Currently, _sculpt-pc_ and _sculpt-imx8q_evk_ are
available.
Multicore virtualization on ARM
###############################
The written-from-scratch virtualization solution for Genode on ARMv8 entered the
picture exactly one year ago with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Virtualization_of_64-bit_ARM_platforms - release 19.11].
Since then, a couple of improvements and validations have been incorporated
into it. Support for VirtIO network and console models had been added.
Moreover, it got streamlined with our prior existing ARMv7 hypervisor and
virtual-machine monitor (VMM). But although the architecture of the VMM was
designed from the very beginning with more than one virtual-CPU (VCPU) in
mind, running a VM on multiple cores had not been addressed nor tested.
With this release, we enhance the virtualization support of the base-hw
kernel, acting as the ARM hypervisor, to support multicore virtual machines.
The VMM implementation got extended to start an entrypoint for each VCPU owned
by a VM. The affinities of those entrypoints are configured to distribute over
all physical CPUs available to the VMM. The affinity of an entrypoint that
handles events of a VCPU is automatically used as the affinity of the VCPU
itself. Whenever a VCPU exit needs to be handled, this is delegated to the VMM
entrypoint running on the same CPU. Once the VMM's entrypoint successfully
handled the exit reason, it resumes the VCPU.
Formerly, the control to start or stop a VCPU was implemented by core's VM
service that runs on the first CPU. But that implied that all different VMM
entrypoints running on distinct CPUs would have needed to frequently call
core's service entrypoint on the first CPU, inducing costly cross-CPU
communication. This is amplified by the fact that core's entrypoint uses a
system call to instruct the kernel's internal scheduler of the corresponding
target CPU, which again would potentially target a remote CPU. For simplifying
the implementation and for improving performance, we slightly extended the
VM-session interface to return a kernel-specific capability addressing a VCPU
directly. With this capability, a VMM's entrypoint is able to directly call
the kernel to start or stop a VCPU instead of using the indirection over core.
However, the detail whether the kernel is called directly or not is hidden
behind the VM session client API and transparent to the user.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
C runtime
=========
We improved the support for aligned memory allocations to fix sporadic memory
leaks, which occurred with our port of the Falkon web browser. One relevant
change is the implementation of the 'posix_memalign()' function, another
change is that the address alignment of anonymous 'mmap()' allocations is now
configurable like follows:
! <config>
! <libc>
! <mmap align_log2="21"/>
! </libc>
! </config>
Standard C++ library
====================
Even though Genode uses C++ as its primary programming language, we do not
rely on or make use of any C++ standard library within the Genode OS
framework. However, since a C++ STL is a vital part of application programming
with C++, we provide one for applications built on top of the base framework;
in particular the GNU C++ STL library (_libstdc++_). It is treated as a
regular 3rd party library and its functionality is extended on demand. This
approach worked well enough to even enable larger C++-based software like Qt5
and Chromium's Blink engine (as part of QtWebEngine) to run on Genode. That
being said, for developers using _libstdc++_ on Genode, it is not immediately
clear, which features are supported and which are not.
Fortunately, _libstdc++_ includes a testsuite that - as the name suggests -
allows for testing the range of functionality of the library on a given
platform. So we turned to it to establish a base line of supported features.
We were particularly interested in how our port behaves when C++17 is
requested. It goes without saying that this only includes the aspects, which
are specifically probed by the testsuite. Rather than adding thorough Genode
support to the testsuite, we opted for providing an
[https://github.com/cnuke/genode-libstdcxx-testsuite/ - environment] that
mimics the common 'unix' target and allows us to execute the testsuite on
the Linux version of Genode via a regular Linux host OS. It uses the Genode
tool chain to compile the tests and spawns a Genode base-linux system to
execute them.
Executing the testsuite was an iterative process because in the beginning, we
encountered many falsely failed tests. On one hand, most of them were due to
the way C++ is applied in Genode or rather how our build system works
internally. For one, _libsupc++_ on Genode is part of the _cxx_ library. This
library in turn is part of _ldso.lib.so_, the dynamic linker that provides
the base API. As the build system uses stub libraries generated from 'symbol'
files containing the ABI of a given shared object, each missing symbol must
be made available. Otherwise the linking step is going to fail complaining
about undefined references because components use these stub libraries
during compilation. On the other hand, we had to get cozy with the testsuite's
underlying test framework in order to get our test environment straight.
In case of the testsuite, there were a lot of symbols missing because we did
not encounter them so far in our workloads, and thus, were not part of the
symbols file. After all, templates will always generate specific symbols that
are difficult to foresee. Besides that, we lacked support for aligned 'new'
and 'delete' operators. With these adaptions in place, we were able to
successfully execute the testsuite.
In the end, the results paint a good picture. The current short-comings boil
down to
* Support for the *stdc++fs* library is not available as the library is
not ported yet.
* Proper *locale* support in the 'libc' as well as 'stdc++' is not available.
* Support for parallel operations with *openmp* is not available.
* Various subsystems ('std::thread', 'std::random_device', numerics library)
need further attention for proper functionality. This is most prominent
for the failing execution tests where sometimes the threads appear to
get stuck.
These findings are documented at issue
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/3925 - 3925].
Consistent Block Encrypter (CBE)
================================
The CBE is a library for the management of encrypted block-devices that is
entirely written in SPARK. It was first announced and integrated with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Preliminary_block-device_encrypter - Genode 19.11],
reached feature-completeness with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.05#Feature-completeness_of_the_consistent_block_encrypter - Genode 20.05],
and has received a highly modular back-end system with version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#Consistent_Block_Encrypter - 20.08].
For this release, we thoroughly streamlined the CBE repository, added enhanced
automated quality assurance, and switched to another default encryption
back end.
Repository restructuring
------------------------
Generally speaking, the [https://github.com/m-stein/cbe - CBE repository] has
been freed from everything that is not either part of the SPARK-based core
logic (cbe, cbe_common, and the hashing algorithm), the essential SPARK-based
tooling (initialization, checking), or the Ada-based C++ bindings (*_cxx
libraries). The whole Genode-specific integration, testing, and packaging
moved to Genode's 'gems' repository and the former Genode sub-repository 'cbe'
was replaced by the new CBE port _gems/ports/cbe.port_. We also took the
opportunity to remove many unused remnants of earlier development stages and
to drastically simplify the ecosystem of CBE-related packages.
We hope that this allows for certain characteristics of the CBE project, like
its strong OS-independence or a completely "flow-mode"-provable core logic to
become more clear, while at the same time, the Genode-specific accessories can
benefit from being part of Genode's mainline development.
Automated testing, benchmarking, and proving
--------------------------------------------
The CBE tester is a scriptable environment meant for testing all aspects of
the CBE library and its basic tooling. Through its XML command interface, one
can not only access and validate data of CBE devices but also initialize them,
check their consistency, analyze their meta data, execute performance
benchmarks, manage device snapshots, perform online re-keying or online
re-dimensioning of devices, and, last but not least, manage the required Trust
Anchors.
Before this release, the CBE tester was a mere patchwork solution and many of
the above mentioned features were limited or even missing. For instance block
access was issued only in a synchronous fashion, the Trust-Anchor was managed
implicitly, and validating read data wasn't possible. Besides adding the
missing features, we also reworked the component entirely to follow a clean
and comprehensible implementation concept. The new CBE tester comes together
with the run script _gems/run/cbe_tester.run_ that shall serve as both a
demonstration how to use the tester and an extensive automated test and
benchmark for the CBE.
Furthermore, we created the CBE-specific autopilot tool _tool/cbe_autopilot_
that is meant to establish a common reference for the quality of CBE releases
as well as for their integration in Genode. Running the tool without arguments
will give instructions how to use it. In a nutshell, when running
'tool/cbe_autopilot basics', the tool will GNAT-prove what is expected to be
provable, run all CBE-related run scripts expected to work, and build all
CBE-related packages (existing build and depot directories are not touched in
this process). The idea is to make the successful execution of the test
mandatory before advancing the master branch of the CBE repository or
releasing a new version of the integration in Genode. A handy side-feature of
the tool is that one can run 'tool/cbe_autopilot prove' to do only the
GNAT-proving part. With 'tool/cbe_autopilot clean' finally, the tool cleans up
all of its artifacts.
Libcrypto back end for block encryption
---------------------------------------
The introduction of VFS plugins for CBE back ends in the previous Genode
release made it much easier to interchange concrete implementations. This
motivated us to play around a bit in our endeavour of optimizing execution
time. It turned out that especially the choice of the block-encryption back
end has a significant impact on the overall performance of CBE block
operations. It furthermore seemed that especially the 'libsparkcrypto'
library, our former default for block encryption, prioritizes other qualities
over performance.
That said, in general, we want to enable an informed user to decide for him-
or herself which qualities one prefers in such an algorithm. The VFS plugin
mechanism pays tribute to this. And it also seems very natural to us to
combine a SPARK-based block-device management with a SPARK-based encryption
back-end like 'libsparkcrypto'. But for our default use case, we came to the
conclusion that the 'libcrypto' library might be a better choice.
Streamlined ioctl handling in the C runtime / VFS
=================================================
The Genode release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#C_runtime_with_improved_POSIX_compatibility - 19.11]
introduced the emulation of ioctl operations via pseudo files. This feature
was first used by the Terminal. With the current release, we further employ
this mechanism for additional ioctl operations, like the block-device related
I/O controls, as the long-term plan is to remove the notion of ioctl's from
the 'Vfs::File_io_services' API all-together.
We therefore equipped the block VFS-plugin with a compound directory hosting
the pseudo files for triggering device operations:
:info: This file contains the device information structured as 'block'
XML node having 'size' and 'count' attributes providing the used block size
as well as the total number of blocks.
:block_count: contains the total number of blocks.
:block_size: contains the size of one block in bytes.
Furthermore, we split the existing 'ioctl' handling method in the libc into
specific ones for dealing with terminals and block devices because at some
point more different groups of I/O controls are to follow.
The first one to follow is the 'SNDCTL' group. This group deals with audio
devices and corresponds to the standard set by the OpenSoundSystem (OSS)
specification years ago. In the same vein as the terminal and block I/O
controls, the sound controls are implemented via property files.
The controls currently implemented are the ones used by the OSS-output plugin
of [https://cmus.github.io/ - cmus], the driving factor behind the
implementation, which uses the (obsolete) version 3 API.
At the moment, it is not possible to set or rather change any parameters. In
case the requested setting differs from the parameters of the underlying
audio-out session - in contrast to the suggestion in the OSS manual - we do
not silently adjust the parameters returned to the callee but let the I/O
control operation fail.
The following list contains the currently handled SNDCTL I/O controls:
:SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS: sets the number of channels. We return the available
channels here and return ENOTSUP if it differs from the requested number of
channels.
:SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE: returns the amount of playback data that can be written
without blocking. For now it amounts the space left in the stream buffer of
the audio-out session.
:SNDCTL_DSP_POST: forces playback to start. We do nothing and return success.
:SNDCTL_DSP_RESET: is supposed to reset the device when it is active before
any parameters are changed. We do nothing and return success.
:SNDCTL_DSP_SAMPLESIZE: sets the sample size. We return the sample size of the
underlying audio-out session and return ENOTSUP if it differs from the
requested format.
:SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT: sets the buffer size hint. We ignore the hint and
return success.
:SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED: sets the sample rate. For now, we always return the rate of
the underlying audio out session and return ENOTSUP if it differs from the
requested one.
The libc extension is accompanied by an OSS VFS plugin that gives access to an
audio-out session by roughly implementing an OSS pseudo-device. It merely
wraps the session and does not provide any form of resampling or re-coding of
the audio stream.
[image cmus]
Image [cmus] depicts how the various pieces work together in a real-world
scenario. The interplay of the extended libc with the OSS VFS plugin allows
for listening to MP3s - for the time being the format is restricted to
44.1kHz/16bit - on Sculpt using the [https://cmus.github.io/ - cmus]
audio player.
The current state serves as a starting point for further implementing the OSS
API to cover more use cases, especially with ported POSIX software like
VirtualBox and Qt5 or even as SDL2 audio back end. While showing its age, OSS
is still supported by the majority of middle ware and makes for a decent
experimentation target.
Device drivers
##############
VirtIO support
==============
Thanks to the remarkable contribution by Piotr Tworek, the Genode OS framework
has become able to drive VirtIO network devices.
He did not only provide a single VirtIO network driver but a framework to
easily add more VirtIO driver classes in the future. Either the devices are
connected as PCI devices or directly as platform devices with fixed
memory-mapped I/O addresses. The framework supports both and abstracts away
from the concrete connection type.
The VirtIO network driver enables networking for Genode when using the
'virt_qemu' board on either the ARMv7a or ARMv8a architecture. However, the
VirtIO device configuration on Qemu is dynamic. The order and presence of
different command line switches affect the bus address and interrupt
assignment of each device. To make the use of Genode with Qemu robust in
changing environments, a tiny helper component was supplemented. This
component named 'virtdev_rom' probes the memory-mapped I/O areas of the system
bus and detects available and known VirtIO devices. The results are provided
in the form of a configuration that can be consumed by the platform driver to
assign the correct device resources to the corresponding VirtIO driver.
The VirtIO network driver in action, as well as the interplay of the platform
driver and the 'virtdev_rom' component can be observed when using the
'drivers_nic-virt_qemu' package.
Improved support for OpenBSD audio drivers
==========================================
So far, the supported drivers exclusively used PCI as transport bus and for
practical reasons, the emulation environment was tied to it. The bus handling
has now moved into its own compilation unit to make future addition of drivers
that employ other transport buses easier. On the same account, the component
got renamed to 'pci_audio_drv' to reflect its bus connection.
While at it, the execution flow of the component got adapted. The kernel code
should have been executed within the context of the main task like it is done
in the DDE Linux drivers. The initial port of the HDA driver, however, called
the code directly from within the session as there was no immediate reason to
use a task context because suspending the execution was not needed. When using
USB devices, that is no longer possible as we have to suspend the execution
during the execution of the kernel code. So we pass in the audio data and
schedule the emulated BSD kernel code.
The above mentioned changes are mostly preliminary clean-up work for the
upcoming support of USB audio devices.
Furthermore, we implemented timeout handling in the driver and use Genode's
timeout framework API to schedule timeouts and for providing the current time.
For now there is only one timeout - the unsolicited Azalia codec event - and
therefore the timeout queue consists of solely one timeout object. Those
events are important for detecting plugged in headphones.
Supporting headphones was further refined by accounting for the situation
where the driver is started while headphones are already plugged in and the
mixer needs to be configured accordingly. In particular, on the Fujitsu S938
the driver lacked the proper quirk for switching between the internal and
external microphone.
In addition to the changes made to the audio driver component, the behaviour
of the audio mixer was adjusted with regard to handling the configuration
of a new session. The mixer now applies the settings already stored in its
configuration to new sessions instead of only reporting them. In case of
Sculpt, where an existing launcher already contains a valid configuration,
that allows for setting the volume levels appropriately for known sessions
prior to establishing the connection.
Retiring the monolithic USB driver
==================================
With [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.08#Decomposed_USB_stack - release 18.08],
a componentized USB stack got introduced next to our time-tested monolithic
USB driver. With the current release, the driver manager as used by Sculpt OS
switched to use the new USB stack in order to benefit from the de-composition
and from more supported USB devices. The monolithic driver was still based on
an older DDE-Linux revision compared to the componentized version. This step
paves the ground to retire the monolithic USB driver with the next Genode
release and will improve the number of supported USB devices with the upcoming
Sculpt OS release.
Platforms
#########
Hardware P-State support on PC hardware
=======================================
Intel CPUs feature Speed Shift respectively Hardware P-State (HWP)
functionality in order to balance CPU frequency and voltage for performance
and power efficiency. Up to now, the UEFI firmware of the notebooks we worked
with selected or made an option selectable in the UEFI configuration to
specify the desired behaviour, e.g. optimize for performance or power
efficiency.
With a recent Lenovo notebook, however, we faced the issue that either the fan
would run for too long after some load and/or the performance of the CPUs
regressed. Finding a well working sweet spot
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/3871 - seems hard].
This experience prompted us to investigate how the Intel HWP feature can be
set and configured. After some experiments, we achieved to reduce the fan
noise and received better performance by tweaking the Intel HWP settings.
However, changing the Intel HWP settings requires access to the privileged
mode on all available CPUs. Since Genode supports several kernels, a solution
would require us to modify all kernels or the feature would remain solely
available to one kernel. We went for a different approach.
On x86, we use the tools from the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.08#New_Intel_Microcode_update_mechanism - Morbo project],
e.g., bender and microcode, to run code before the kernels are booted. The
jobs of the tools are to scan, enable, or apply changes to the CPUs and
chipset, which are not required to change during runtime. We came to the
conclusion that the named bootstrap tools are good places to apply such
one-time Intel HWP settings for the moment.
During the course of adding the Intel HWP functionality, we merged the
microcode functionality into the bender tool and made it configurable via the
boot options 'microcode' and 'intel_hwp'. A typical generated grub2
configuration by using both options would look like this:
| insmod multiboot2
| insmod gzio
| multiboot2 /boot/bender bender microcode intel_hwp
| module2 /boot/micro.code micro.code
| module2 /boot/hypervisor hypervisor ...
| module2 /boot/image.elf.gz image.elf ...
When using the NOVA kernel and Genode's _run_ tool for booting respectively
disk-image creation, one may use the existing 'options_bender' variable in
_tool/run/boot/nova_. The microcode option is added by setting the
'apply_microcode' flag in the same file. The 'intel_hwp' option, at the other
hand, can simply be appended to 'options_bender'. On startup, bender will print
the applied HWP settings for each core to the serial output if the
'intel_hwp' option was set. The new feature will try to set Intel HWP to
'PERFORMANCE' mode, the mode for which we observed the best results.
NOVA microhypervisor
====================
The IO-MMU is a hardware feature to protect operating systems, e.g., Genode,
against misbehaving devices and/or corresponding device drivers. The feature
is supported on x86 since the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.02#DMA_protection_via_IOMMU - 13.02 release]
and described in the release notes. Up to now, this feature is solely
supported for Intel hardware, in particular CPUs and chipsets supporting Intel
VT-d.
With the current release, we add support for AMD's IO-MMU variant to the
Genode framework for the NOVA kernel - being the first one out of the
supported microkernels. Being conceptionally equivalent, the actual
implementation for AMD differs from Intel unsurprisingly. In order to add the
support, a new IO-MMU interface abstraction for accommodating both versions -
Intel and AMD - has been added to the NOVA kernel. Further, the discovery of
the available AMD IO-MMUs required the traversal of different ACPI tables than
for Intel and another page table format for the IO-MMU had to be added. On the
Genode framework side, only very few changes were necessary, namely the
detection of the IO-MMU feature by parsing the ACPI tables in Genode's ACPI
driver as well as the ported Intel ACPICA component.
The change has been already successfully tested on various Ryzen desktops and
notebooks on a backported Sculpt 20.08 branch.

===============================================
Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 21.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
Genode 21.02 stays close to the plan laid out on our
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], featuring a healthy dose
of optimizations, extends the framework's ARM SoC options, and introduces
three longed-for new features.
First, we extended our concept of pluggable device drivers to all network
drivers, including Ethernet and Wifi.
As reported in Section [Pluggable network device drivers], such drivers can
now gracefully be started, restarted, removed, and updated at runtime without
disrupting network-application stacks.
Second, the release features the infrastructure needed for mobile-data
communication over LTE, which is a prerequisite for our ambition to use Genode
on the Pinephone. Section [LTE modem stack] gives insights into the involved
components and the architecture.
Third, we are happy to feature the initial version of VirtualBox 6 for
Genode. Section [VirtualBox 6.1.14] gives an overview of the already
supported feature set and the outlook to reach feature-parity to our version
of VirtualBox 5 soon.
Speaking of VirtualBox in general (both versions), we were able
to significantly improve the USB-device pass-through abilities, specifically
covering audio headsets.
Further noteworthy improvements of the current release range from added
VirtIO-block device support for virtual machines on ARM
(Section [VirtIO block devices for virtual machines on ARM]),
revived developments on RISC-V (Section [RISC-V]),
over VFS support for named pipes (Section [VFS support for named pipes]),
to streamlined tooling (Section [Build system and tools]).
Pluggable network device drivers
################################
The results of our approach to
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#The_GUI_stack__restacked - pluggable framebuffer and input drivers]
encouraged us to take on the third major driver category, namely networking
drivers, which subsumes not only Ethernet drivers but also wireless networking
drivers and mobile baseband drivers. The latter two are of course particularly
interesting for mobile communication devices.
Similarly to the story linked above for the framebuffer and input drivers,
Genode's network drivers used to play the roles of NIC servers, providing a
network-interface service to network applications. As a consequence, the
lifetime of a network application was always bound to the lifetime of the
underlying NIC driver. This is unfortunate because those drivers can be
obscenely complex, putting the liveliness of the dependent application stack
at risk.
[image layered_nic_multi_app_risk]
However, in most scenarios, networking applications do not operate directly on
a network interface because this would prevent the use of the network interface
by more than one application at a time. Instead, there is usually a NIC
multiplexing component in-between the driver and one or multiple applications.
In most contemporary scenarios this is the NIC router that acts as NIC client
towards the driver and as NIC server towards the applications.
Thus, we contemplated the idea of letting the NIC driver operate as NIC client
of the NIC router instead. This would decouple the application from the
driver's lifetime while the driver's special role would be modeled solely by a
routing policy. However, even though the data channel of the NIC interface is
bi-directional, we realized that the reversal of the role of the driver does
not only entail the communication of network payload but also propagation of
the link state and the MAC address. This prompted us to introduce a new Genode
session type called "Uplink" that precisely models the NIC-driver-as-client
scenario.
[image nic_router_services]
In a nutshell, an Uplink session is almost the same as a NIC session with only
three minor differences. First, the MAC address is given by the client (the
driver) as an argument at session-creation time. Second, the roles of the TX
and RX packet streams are interchanged compared to a NIC session. I.e., the
_client_ transmits via TX and receives through RX while at the server side it's
vice-versa. And third - as a mere interface optimization - the link state of an
uplink session is always "up". The session is requested by the client (the
driver) only in the event of a "link-up" edge. Analogously, whenever the link
goes "down", the client closes the session again.
With this new session interface in place, the NIC router becomes the only
long-running component in the scenario. It provides both a NIC and an uplink
session interface. The NIC session interface is used by network applications.
The uplink session interface is used by drivers. Inside the router, uplink
sessions are treated the same as NIC sessions. Therefore, we decided that the
well known '<policy>' tags in the configuration are now simply applied to both
session types. This means, that each '<uplink>' tag that connected a driver in a
router configuration can now be replaced by a '<policy>' tag with a label
attribute that matches the driver's session request.
[image nic_uplink_multi_app]
We divided the process for this architectural change into the following
autonomous steps:
# Introduce the uplink session and uplink-session support in the NIC router.
# Let NIC drivers support both modes, "NIC session server" and "Uplink session
client" depending on a new _transitional_ <config>-tag attribute 'mode'.
This attribute is optional and has two possible values, 'uplink_client'
and 'nic_server', of which it defaults to the latter.
# Adapt all network scenarios in the basic Genode repositories to use NIC
drivers only with '<config mode="uplink_client">'.
# Remove support for the "NIC session server" mode from all NIC drivers and
with it also the transitional 'mode' attribute.
All steps except the last one are completed by now. The transitional 'mode'
attribute and the "NIC session server" mode will remain available in all NIC
drivers until the next Genode release in order to give others the opportunity
to gracefully adapt their NIC drivers and network scenarios to the change.
Further information
-------------------
The overarching topic of pluggable device drivers was covered by our recent
presentation at [https://fosdem.org/2021/ - FOSDEM 2021]. You can find the
video recording and the presentation slides at the following link.

LTE modem stack
###############
With the current release, Genode adds LTE broadband modem support for packet data
connections. This way, it becomes possible to browse the internet using the SIM
card of your broadband service provider. For a description of the protocols and
the general terminology when talking about LTE modems, our
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2020-12-04-mbim - LTE modem support for Genode]
Genodians article is a good starting point.
From the device side, LTE modems register themselves as USB devices at the USB
host controller. The speciality is that a modem offers two interfaces. First, a USB
network interface (like NCM or ECM) and second, a
[https://www.usb.org/document-library/class-definitions-communication-devices-12 - Wireless Mobile Communication Device],
which is a challenge/response control channel to the modem and used to configure
the device. For the actual communication through the control channel, there exist two
binary protocols: Namely, Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) and Qualcomm
Mobile Station Interface (QMI). Whereas the former is a USB standard, QMI is a
proprietary protocol by Qualcomm. Therefore, we picked a modem that supports the
MBIM standard for our line of work.
USB modem support
=================
In order to enable modem communication, we added the Linux USB modem driver for
MBIM to our _dde_linux_ device driver environment. This driver implements the
NCM and WDM interfaces for the modem and provides a network uplink session for
the NCM network interface and a terminal session for the WDM interface.
[image lte_mbim]
MBIM protocol
=============
MBIM is a binary protocol that is, for example, implemented by
[https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libmbim/ - libmbim]. Therefore, we
ported _libmbim_ to Genode. Since it requires _glib_, we had to enable features
and improve our _glib_ support on Genode. The _libmbim_ library offers MBIM command handling only.
For actually triggering modem-communication, the _mbimcli_ tool is required. We
ported _mbimcli_ and changed its front end to trigger a modem packet-connection
sequence via _libmbim_ through the terminal session of the USB modem driver.
During this sequence, the SIM card is unlocked through the PIN, the packet
service is attached, and connection information (e.g., IP, gateway, DNS server)
is retrieved. The connection data is then used by _mbimcli_ to configure the
uplink of Genode's NIC router, which in turn makes the network connectivity available
to network applications. The holistic view is shown in image [lte_mbim].
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
NIC router
==========
The NIC router received two practical features, the consideration of
multiple DNS server entries on DHCP and an ARP-less mode for domains.
The latter was motivated by the fresh support for LTE modems (see Section
[LTE modem stack]). An LTE modem normally doesn't respond to ARP. So when
using it as uplink for the NIC router, the corresponding domain can't request
IP-to-MAC-address resolutions as usual. This is addressed through the new
optional attribute 'use_arp' in '<domain>' tags of the NIC router configuration.
By default, it is set to 'yes', which yields the same behavior as in the past.
However, when set to 'no' for a domain, this domain will prevent sending ARP
requests in general. This leaves the question how to determine the destination
MAC address for a packet that shall be sent at this domain when only the
destination IP address is known. This is solved by the router by simply using
the source MAC address also as destination MAC address, an approach that we
could observe also in other IP stacks and that worked just fine in our tests.
The ARP-less domain mode is demonstrated through the run script
_repos/os/run/nic_router_disable_arp.run_.
The consideration of multiple DNS-server entries on DHCP comes in two parts.
First, when acting as DHCP client at a domain, the router will now parse all
option 6 entries in DHCP ACK replies from the server and memorize them as part
of the resulting IP config of the domain. These entries will then also be
reported if '<report config="yes"/>' is set in the router's config. A router
report with multiple DNS server entries will look like this:
! <state>
! <domain name="uplink_1" ipv4="10.0.0.3/24" gw="10.0.0.1">
! <dns ip="10.0.0.2"/>
! <dns ip="1.1.1.1"/>
! <dns ip="8.8.8.8"/>
! ...
! </domain>
! <domain name="uplink_2" ipv4="168.192.0.200/24" gw="168.192.0.1">
! <dns ip="168.192.0.10"/>
! <dns ip="168.192.0.8"/>
! ...
! </domain>
! ...
! </state>
On the other hand, when acting as DHCP server at a domain, one has two
options. Option 1 is to configure the DHCP server to fetch DNS server entries
automatically from another domain:
! <domain name="downlink" interface="10.0.1.1/24">
! <dhcp-server dns_server_from="uplink_1" .../>
! </domain>
In this case, the router will now reflect not only one but all DNS server
entries from the source domain ("uplink") through the DHCP replies sent at the
destination domain ("downlink") without changing the entry order. This approach
is demonstrated through the new _repos/os/run/nic_router_dhcp_unmanaged.run_
run script.
Option 2 is to configure the DNS server entries manually at the DHCP
server:
! <domain name="downlink" interface="10.0.1.1/24">
! <dhcp-server ...>
! <dns-server ip="10.0.0.2"/>
! <dns-server ip="1.1.1.1"/>
! <dns-server ip="8.8.8.8"/>
! </dhcp-server>
! </domain>
The order of the '<dns-server>' tags determines the order of
option 6 entries in the replies of the DHCP server. Besides its use for static
DNS server configurations, this option can also be used for more sophisticated
forwarding of DNS server entries through a separate management component. The
management component could listen to the reported IP config of the source
domains, apply custom policies like address filters to the result, and
re-configure the DHCP servers of the destination domains accordingly. This
approach is demonstrated in the new _repos/os/run/nic_router_dhcp_managed.run_
run script.
Please note that the former 'dns_server' attribute of the '<dhcp-server>' tag
is no longer considered by the router as the new '<dns-server>' tag replaces it.
Thus, you might want to adapt your NIC router scenarios accordingly.
VFS support for named pipes
===========================
The VFS-pipe plugin received new support for named pipes. The main motivation was to
easily stream data from pure Genode components to libc components via
file-system sessions that can be attached to stdin, stdout, and stderr. This
feature further makes it possible to chain the data flow between several components together,
similarly to how it is done on Unix. Additionally, the thread synchronization
has been improved so that large data chunks can be transferred without
blocking.
A named pipe can be created by adding a '<fifo>' sub node to the '<pipe>' node
of the VFS:
! <vfs>
! <pipe>
! <fifo name="upstream"/>
! </pipe>
! ...
! </vfs>
Each pipe is exposed as a set of pseudo files.
! /upstream
! /.upstream/in/in
! /.upstream/out/out
The _/upstream_ pseudo file can be opened either as read-only or write-only
file. It allows for the access of both ends of the pipe. In contrast, each of
the pseudo files _/.upstream/in/in_ and _/.upstream/out/out_ represents only
one end of the pipe, which can be subjected to an individual directory-based
access-control policy.
Thanks to Sid Hussmann for contributing this valuable feature!
Terminal
========
While
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#The_GUI_stack__restacked - revising the GUI stack]
in Genode 20.08, we largely abolished the use of the framebuffer and input
session interfaces. The graphical terminal, however, still relied on those
interfaces instead of the GUI session. In practice, there was always a gui_fb
component needed as an intermediate between the terminal and the GUI server.
To complete the GUI-stack transition, we changed the terminal to use the GUI
session directly and adjusted all current scenarios that use the terminal.
One useful feature of the gui_fb component was the definition of an initial
window size. This enabled packages such as Sculpt's system shell to present
terminal windows with a reasonable default size smaller than the entire
screen.
To accommodate this special case, the initial terminal size can now be
explicitly configured in the terminal configuration.
! <config>
! <initial width="800" height="600"/>
! ...
! </config>
While we were at it, we also enhanced the terminal with the ability to
dynamically respond to font changes. So the adjustment of the global font
settings in Sculpt OS takes immediate effect on all terminal windows.
OpenSSL 1.1.1i, curl 7.70.0
===========================
OpenSSL experienced some quite important security updates during the last
months. This prompted us to update our port to version 1.1.1i. During
the porting work, we kept an eye on performance and enabled CPU-specific
optimizations where feasible. Optimizations are enabled by default on
x86 and ARMv8. For ARMv7, we enable NEON-based functions only when the
build SPECS include "neon" to support common SoCs that lack these
capabilities in the default configuration. Please note, the updated
port does only provide one combined depot archive "openssl" that
replaces the former "libcrypto" and "libssl" archives. The libraries
are still distinct for compatibility with existing applications and
build systems. As a side effect, we also updated the curl library to
version 7.70, which is compatible with recent OpenSSL versions.
Thanks to Pirmin Duss for his valuable contribution to this update.
Virtualization
##############
VirtualBox 6.1.14
=================
Genode supports virtualization with VirtualBox
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.02#VirtualBox_on_top_of_the_NOVA_microhypervisor - since 2014].
Back then, we enabled VirtualBox version 4 to support use cases with unmodified
Linux and Windows guests like Sculpt's predecessor
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.11#Genode_as_desktop_OS - "Turmvilla"].
In 2016, we updated VirtualBox to version 5 to enable recent guest OS
versions notably Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10. VirtualBox 5 is an
integral part of Sculpt OS since its first release.
As VirtualBox 5 is no longer maintained upstream and also shows its age
when running recent versions of Windows 10, we accepted the challenge
to once again enable a new version of this VMM. This time we did not
go for a NOVA-specific port but exclusively use the kernel-agnostic
virtualization interfaces introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Kernel-agnostic_virtual-machine_monitors - Genode 19.05].
This way, VirtualBox 6 is prepared to run on NOVA, seL4, and Fiasco.OC alike with
minimal extra efforts.
The first development snapshot we publish with this release is ready to
run Linux and Windows guests with limited support for multiple cores,
integrates network and USB-passthrough as well as preliminary support
for Guest Additions like mouse integration and display. We are
committed to finalize the feature set and optimize the performance of
VirtualBox 6 until the upcoming Sculpt release but do not plan to replace
version 5 completely yet. In fact, the update paves the way to explore
more experimental grounds like enablement of GPU-based
acceleration of guest OSes.
As a starting point for exploring VirtualBox 6 on Genode, we recommend the run script
_ports/run/virtualbox6.run_.
VirtualBox 5
============
With this release, we extended our VirtualBox port and made USB
pass-through more robust.
So far, we most prominently use VirtualBox on Intel systems that feature
VT-x. This release enables support for also running 64bit guests on AMD
systems with SVM.
When it comes to USB pass-through support, we rely on the xHCI device-model
ported from Qemu. With this release, we updated the 3rd-party sources to
version 5.2.0 and the type of the exposed device has changed to QEMU xHCI. Due to
this change, older guest OSes - namely Windows 7 - that relied on the NEC
xHCI device will no longer work.
Thanks to the update, it becomes possible to use USB devices requiring isochronous
transfers, in particular audio devices, with Windows 10 guests. For now
we focused on USB-Audio-Class v1 devices using adaptive
synchronisation, which enables a variety of popular USB headsets for
the passthrough use case.
A glimpse into our USB machinery unveils that fine-tuned buffering and USB
transfer configuration is the key to robust USB passthrough. On one hand, the
handling of isochronous OUT transfers in our host connection batches multiple
packets and queues transfers, which helps to smoothen out playback in case other
Genode components utilize the CPU concurrently. On the other hand, the number of
IN requests queued is increased but the number of packets per request set to 1.
We obtained the best results by following this configuration observed in Linux
and Windows guests alike.
VirtIO block devices for virtual machines on ARM
================================================
With release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.02#Custom_virtual_machine_monitor_on_ARM - 20.02],
the first VirtIO device models entered Genode's virtual
machine monitor for ARM. They enabled a virtual machine to access network and
terminal services. This time, the VMM got extended with a block device model,
which again is compliant to the VirtIO 1.1 specification. Moreover, the generic
model implementation, which is common to all VirtIO devices, got polished fairly.
The new block device model is not configurable yet. By now, the VMM is
hard-coded to provide exactly one block device. Consequently, one route to a
Block service needs to be provided to the VMM component.
The execution of the test run-script in _repos/os/run/vmm_arm.run_ shows
the new VirtIO block device in action.
Device drivers
##############
Power-gating of PCI devices on x86
==================================
PCI devices have several PCI capabilities that describe the feature set
the device supports, as defined by the PCI specification. The platform driver - which
is the gatekeeper of devices on Genode - got extended to power on and power off
devices whenever the PCI power capability is supported. When powering on, a device reset
is issued if it is supported by the PCI device. During release of a driver from a
device, all DMA memory associated to the device is
flushed from the IO-MMU TLB to avoid any further access.
Additionally, the platform driver has become able to respond to configuration
changes. Special care must be taken if the configuration of a running device
driver changes. If the configuration re-evaluation concludes that a driver is no longer
permitted to use an already assigned PCI device, the Platform session
will be closed forcefully, making the device inaccessible to the driver.
The extended features of the platform driver supplement our previous work of
restarting respectively replacing a running graphics driver in Sculpt OS. The driver
manager, as used by Sculpt, uses Genode's heartbeat monitoring to check for the
liveliness of the Intel framebuffer driver and restarts it automatically if the
driver becomes unresponsive. Restarting
involves closing the Platform session, thereby powering off the Intel device,
and reopening the Platform session, thereby powering and resetting the
Intel device into a functional state.
This self-healing mechanism can be seen in action in the recording of our
[https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/microkernel_pluggable_device_drivers_for_genode/ - FOSDEM talk]
about pluggable device drivers.
USB drivers
===========
Additional HID devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a sad truth that some popular USB keyboards and mice do not fully
comply with the USB HID standard. The Linux kernel comes with dozens
of special functions to fix up quirks and enable these devices
for Linux systems also. With the current release, we adopt quirk functions
for Apple HID devices and mice based on the Holtek chipset (e.g., the
Sharkoon Drakonia) that are applied automatically if one of these
devices is plugged.
USB robustness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We improved the robustness of the USB HID driver with regard to device
reconnection, as well as the robustness of the DWC OTG host driver for
the Raspberry Pi when used with HID devices.
Isochronous transfers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While looking more closely into supporting isochronous transfers
driven by the USB pass-through use-case, we encountered and addressed shortcomings
in the current implementation in the USB host-controller driver
when dealing with IN transfers containing multiple isochronous frames.
However, this is only a first step as we identified significant potential for
optimization and robustness improvements.
Platforms
#########
Pine-A64-LTS single board computer
==================================
Our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] envisions
the use of Genode on the Pinephone by the end of the year. As a first stepping
stone, the current release adds basic board support for the
[https://pine64.com/product-category/pine-a64-ltslong-term-supply/ - Pine-A64-LTS]
single-board computer. We take this line of work as a welcome opportunity to
thoroughly document the porting process. You can find the work explained in
great detail in the following article series.

The latest state of this line of work is available at a dedicated repository:
:Genode board support for Allwinner SoCs:
[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner]
RISC-V
======
RISC-V development has been on the hold at Genode Labs for a while. But with the
current release this has changed. One of the main goals we had for a long time
is the use of Qemu instead of the Spike emulator for our test infrastructure, since
every other platform runs on Qemu, Spike causes additional overhead at Genode
Labs.
By updating the privileged ISA specification support from 1.9.1 to 1.10,
we became able to use recent Qemu versions (e.g., 4.2.1).
Thanks to this change, we could remove the _spike_ board and add a new
_riscv_qemu_ board to our _base_hw_ kernel implementation.
As another nice side effect, Qemu ships its own OpenSBI machine binary, which
implements the machine mode and SBI calls. It can be enabled through the "-bios"
command line option. With a machine mode for ISA 1.10 in place, we were able to
remove the old [https://github.com/ssumpf/bbl-lite - BBL] machine mode
implementation from Genode.
For more information on this topic please refer to the corresponding
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2021-02-24-riscv - Genodians article].
In order to improve development speed, we were able to reduce the link time for
_core_ and its debugging variant from about 50 to 5 seconds. Additionally, we
fixed long standing link errors that were caused by mixing up soft float and
hard float objects as well as misconfigured linker scripts.
Removal of Muen separation kernel support
=========================================
Since
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.08#Genode_on_top_of_the_Muen_Separation_Kernel - version 15.08],
Genode supported the use of the [https://muen.sk - Muen] separation kernel as
underlying platform. The driving force behind the original development was the
joyful collaboration with the Muen developers Adrian-Ken Rueegsegger and Reto
Buerki and the prospect for products that combine the rigidity of a separation
kernel with the dynamic workloads enabled by Genode.
However, over the past 5 years, this potential synergy remained untapped.
In hindsight, the stacking of one microkernel-based system onto another
microkernel-based system is a tough sell. Hosting dynamic workloads in a Linux
VM atop Muen is certainly more relatable to Muen users. Vice versa, for Genode
users, Genode on bare hardware is less complex and more flexible than using
the framework atop a separation kernel.
Without adoption of the joint platform, neither of both teams can justify the
ongoing effort needed for the continued maintenance of Genode on Muen. Hence,
we [https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/3995 - concluded] to remove
Muen as an officially supported platform.
Build system and tools
######################
Streamlined distinction of boards by build and run tools
========================================================
In
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.05#Board_support_outside_the_Genode_main_repository - Genode 20.05],
we introduced the principle ability to decouple board-support packages from
the project's main repository. We thereby want to enable developers outside
the Genode core team to port Genode to diverse hardware platforms.
With the current release, we further refined the structure of the code base and
the tooling to largely eliminate remaining points of friction when hosting
board support in external repositories.
We ultimately removed the use of board-specific SPEC values throughout the
build system and run scripts. SPEC values are now solely used to refer to
aspects of an instruction-set architecture, e.g., x86, 64bit, or arm_v8a.
In run scripts, the new convenience function 'have_board' has become the
preferred way to distinguish the behavior of run scripts depending on the
targeted board now. It replaces all former uses of 'have_spec <board>'.
Moreover, the long deprecated option of the _create_builddir_ tool to create
board-specific build directories has been removed.
To simplify the hosting of board support in separate source-code repositories,
board-specific properties have moved from run-tool scripts to the new notion
of *board property directories*. Such directories named
_<repo>/board/<board>/_ contain files with board-specific information.
In particular, the 'image_link_address' file contains the physical
link address of the system image taking the board's physical memory
constraints into account, and the 'arch' file contains the CPU
architecture of the SoC. The run tool picks up this information
from the board-property files.
Furthermore, the *packaging* of the board-specific base-hw kernel has
become more formalized by leveraging the board-property directories.
This makes the packaging vastly simpler. Regardless of where the board-support
is hosted, the _content.mk_ file for a kernel source archive becomes as simple
as:
! include $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/base-hw/recipes/src/base-hw_content.inc
The board name is automatically inferred from the path of the src recipe. The
architecture is determined from _board/<name>/arch_ files. The attempt to
build a base-hw-<board> binary archive for the wrong architecture is now
gracefully handled by skipping all targets (using the REQUIRES mechanism).
Besides the improved convenience, the resulting depot archives
have become much closer tailored to the actual board by omitting files for
architectures that are not used by the board. E.g., the src/base-hw-pc
archive does not contain any ARM-related content.
Compiler cache
==============
The [https://ccache.dev - ccache] tool is a fantastic way to accelerate the
developer workflow when repeatedly building software. Since ccache is -
strictly speaking - orthogonal to the build system, configuring the Genode
build system for the use of ccache was left to each developer.
Setting up ccache is not straight-forward though. One must manually create
hooks (symlinks shadowing the compiler executables), tweak the PATH
environment variable, and customize the CROSS_DEV_PREFIX in
_etc/tools.conf_. In short, only seasoned developers jump through those hoops.
Many others may miss out on the joys of ccache.
With the current release, the build-system front end makes ccache easily
available by enabling a simple option in the _etc/build.conf_ file:
! CCACHE := yes

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 21.05
===============================================
Genode Labs
The most prominent user-visible features of Genode 21.05 are the support for
webcams and an easy-to-use component for file encryption on
[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS]. Both topics greatly benefit
from Genode's component architecture. The video-conferencing scenario
described in Section [Webcam support] sandboxes the webcam driver in a
disposable Genode component while using a second instance of the nitpicker GUI
server as a video bridge. This design strikes a beautiful combination of
simplicity, robustness, and flexibility.
The new file vault described in Section
[File vault based on the CBE block encrypter] leverages Genode's dynamic
sandboxing capabilities to manage the creation and operation of an encrypted
file store. Even though the underpinnings can be described as nothing less
than sophisticated machinery, the package presented to the user combines ease
of use with a great sense of control.
The second focus of the current release are the manifold improvements of
Genode's driver and platform support as described in Sections [Device drivers]
and [Platforms]. Our USB support received the attention needed to accommodate
the webcam scenario, the arsenal of i.MX8 drivers got enriched with I2C and
power-domain control, the Pine-A64 board support is growing, Genode has become
able to run on 64-bit ARM Linux, and we enabled principle networking for
RISC-V.
Speaking of platforms, this release features the first version of a new
"Genode Platforms" documentation (Section [Updated and new documentation])
that aids the porting of Genode to new ARM SoCs. With this document, we share
our former in-house know-how and methodology about the porting and development
of drivers with developers outside of Genode Labs.
The release is rounded up by several performance optimizations
(Section [Performance optimizations]) to the benefit of most Genode system
scenarios. Furthermore, it is accompanied with an updated tool chain,
following our established two-years rhythm
(Section [Tool-chain update to GCC 10.3 and binutils 2.36]).
Webcam support
##############
During 2020, the amount of home office and remote work took an unexpected turn.
Video conferences and video chats have become the norm, which people and
companies rely upon. Even though, not to be found on our
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] for 2021, this development
prompted the Genode team to explore the field of webcam and video chat support
on Genode.
Webcams are generally connected via USB to a host device and implement the USB
video device class
([https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB_Video_Class_1_5.zip - UVC spec]).
Therefore, it is possible to drive many different webcam devices using the
same USB interface. To support this protocol, we enabled
[https://ken.tossell.net/libuvc/doc - libuvc], which offers fine-grained control
over UVC exporting USB devices. In order to enable _libuvc_ on Genode, we
simply integrated the library into Genode's port system with no further
changes required. _libuvc_ depends on [https://libusb.info - libusb] as a back
end to access the actual webcam device. While there exists a port of _libusb_
for Genode - that connects through Genode's USB session interface to the USB
host controller - the port still lacked support for isochronous USB transfers
as required by UVC devices. Isochronous transfers represent a continuous
stream of data (either input or output) with a constant rate without delivery
guarantees. We extended _libusb_ to handle isochronous transfers, which were
already supported by Genode's USB session. Observing that this kind of
transfers can cause high load within the USB host driver, we optimized
isochronous transfer support at the host driver level (Section [USB]).
At the front-end side, we created a small _usb_webcam_ component that uses
_libuvc_ in order to enable, disable, and configure the camera. The component
connects to a GUI session, and thus, can be interfaced directly, for example,
to the Nitpicker component for rendering webcam images natively on screen.
Whereas Genode's pixel format is 32 bit RGB, webcams stream data in the YUV2,
MJPEG, or H.264 formats. To handle the conversion of these formats to Genode's
pixel format, we utilize the
[https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv - libyuv] library and thereby
support the YUV2 as well as the MJPEG pixel format for webcams.
Additionally, we wanted to be able to transfer the webcam data directly into
our VirtualBox port, thus enabling, sophisticated video conference systems
like Jitsi or Skype.
[image webcam]
Our USB host-controller support for VirtualBox is based on the ported Qemu USB
3.0 (XHCI) controller model. Since no USB webcam device model is available for
Qemu, we were required to develop a one from scratch. The new USB webcam model
is attached to the QEMU USB XHCI controller and operates as a bulk endpoint.
In contrast to an isochronous endpoint, the model causes less CPU load and
fewer virtual interrupts. The supported formats offered to the guest are YUV2
and BGR3. By enabling the USB webcam model within the Genode VirtualBox
configuration, a _Capture_ session is used to capture pictures at the rate of
a configured _fps_ value. The following snippet shows the default values of
the supported configuration attributes.
!<config ...>
! ...
! <webcam width="640" height="480" fps="15" vertical_flip="false"
! screen_size="false" report="false"/>
! ...
!</config>
If the _screen_size_ attribute is set to _true_, the device model determines
the resolution from the established capture session. Otherwise, the specified
_width_ and _height_ values are used. The _vertical_flip_ attribute is useful
for the BGR3 format, which is - when interpreted by Linux guests - flipped
vertically and can be flipped back by setting the attribute to _true_.
If the _report_ attribute is set to _true_, a report will be generated
whenever the guest changes the state of the webcam model, either by switching
capturing on/off or by changing the pixel format.
! <capture enabled="true/false" format="YUV2/BGR3"/>
[image webcam_chat]
Finally, our developers, croc and lion, setup the Webcam scenario in Sculpt
and test drive the new feature fascinated. The picture shows a session via
Jitsi, on the right side croc participates at the meeting via a Win10 VM on
Sculpt and lion sitting left joined via an Android tablet.
Performance optimizations
#########################
One of the overarching topics of this year's
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap] is optimization.
As part of working on the Sculpt OS
[https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-21.03-boots-now-in-2.5-seconds - version 21.03],
we identified several optimization vectors with the potential for user-visible
improvements. In particular, while interacting with the system, a few effects
made us curious.
Operations that involved changes to the runtime subsystem, e.g., adding or
reconfiguring a component, seemed to interfere with multi-media workloads.
When running a graphical animation, we could see it stutter in such
situations. Another direction of our curiosity was the boot time of the
system. The boot time of Sculpt OS has always been relatively quick compared
to commodity operating systems. E.g., on a 5-years old laptop like a Lenovo
x260, the system used to boot in about 5 seconds to the graphical user
interface. However, with the anticipation of Sculpt OS on lower-end platforms
like the Pinephone and with the vision of instant-on systems, we wondered
about the potential for improvement.
While gathering a CPU-load profile of the boot process using the top tool, we
learned that the boot time was bounded not by I/O but by the CPU load (the
kernel's idle thread did not appear in the profile). Interestingly, a
significant portion of the cycles were consumed by various instances of the
init component, which prompted us to turn our attention to the implementation
of init.
Clock-cycle measurements
------------------------
The next natural step was the benchmarking of various code paths of init using
a cycle-accurate time-stamp counter (TSC). Even though Genode has a
'Trace::timestamp' utility readily available, it remains barely used for
manual instrumentation because such instrumentations require too much labor:
allocation of state variables for gathering the statistics, computing time
differences, traffic-shaping of the debug noise (needed whenever investigating
highly frequently called code). These tasks should better be covered by a
utility so that friction-less performance analysis can become a regular part
of our development work. As a side effect of our investigation, we came up
with a new utility called GENODE_LOG_TSC. This utility is covered by a
dedicated article.
:Performance analysis made easy:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-04-07-performance]
Thanks to GENODE_LOG_TSC, we were able to identify three concrete
opportunities for optimization in a course of one evening. First, the dynamic
reconfiguration of init apparently did not scale well with a growing number of
components. The code for analysing differences of configuration versions
relied on doubly nested loops in order to stay as simple as possible. With the
typical number of 30 or more components/subsystems hosted in Sculpt's runtime,
we passed a tipping point where quadratic time complexity is justifiable.
Second, during a configuration update, the XML data is evaluated in multiple
passes, which puts pressure on the efficiency of Genode's XML parser. This
pressure could in principle be relieved. Third, the process of taking
session-routing decisions involved XML parsing. In scenarios as sophisticated
as Sculpt, the routing rules can become quite elaborate. Since the rules are
consulted for each session route, the costs for the rule evaluations stack up.
Init optimizations
------------------
These realizations motivated us to replace the hand-crafted configuration
processing by the use of Genode's generic 'List_model' utility. This way, the
parsing follows a common formalism that makes the code easier to maintain and
to understand while reducing the XML parsing to a single pass. The increased
formality cleared the way for further optimizations. In particular, init
became able to skip the re-evaluation of the session routing whenever no
service is affected by the configuration change. This is actually the common
case in Sculpt.
To alleviate the costs for evaluating session routes, we introduced an
internal data model for the routing rules that is optimized for the matching
of routes. With this model, the detection of a definite mismatch (the common
case) comes down to a comparison of a single numeric value.
Combined, those optimizations yield a great effect. In a typical Sculpt
system, the time of a dynamic reconfiguration got reduced by factor 10 to the
order of 10 to 20 milliseconds. Hence, the visual stuttering we observed
during structural changes of the runtime are completely eliminated.
Besides the major optimization of init, we were able to shave off a few
milliseconds from the boot procedure here and there. For example, by deferring
the initialization of the real-time clock driver to its first use, we avoid a
potentially expensive active polling loop during the highly contended boot
phase. Another obvious heuristic improvement is the skipping of the GUI
handling until the framebuffer driver is up because all the nice pixels would
not be visible anyway.
Combined, these optimizations were able to reduce the boot time of Sculpt from
the entering of the kernel up to the graphical user interface down to only 2.3
seconds. The improved performance of init is impactful beyond Sculpt OS
because it is a central component of all Genode systems large and small.

Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
API refinements
===============
VFS-access utilities
--------------------
Low-complexity native Genode components do not depend on a C runtime. To allow
such components to still enjoy the power and flexibility of the Genode's VFS
infrastructure, we provide an evolving front-end API
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/os/include/os/vfs.h - os/vfs.h]
first introduced in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Virtual_file-system_infrastructure - 19.11].
The API is tailored and refined according to the relatively simple use cases
of low-complexity Genode components. The current release introduces a new
utility for the creation of new files, appropriately named 'New_file'. The
change is accompanied by a new 'Directory::create_sub_directory' method for
the easy creation of directory hierarchies.
Safeguarded arrays
------------------
To handle arrays in a safe and C++-like fashion, a new helper class has become
available at _base/include/util/array.h_. It accommodates an increasingly used
pattern where elements are dynamically added at construction time but stay the
same once the array is constructed.
Cosmetic changes
----------------
We refined the 'Range_allocator::alloc_aligned' interface to make it more
safe. The former 'from' and 'to' arguments are replaced by a single 'range'
argument. The distinction of the use cases of regular allocations vs.
address-constrained allocations is now covered by a dedicated overload instead
of relying on a default argument. The 'align' argument has been changed from
'int' to 'unsigned' to be better compatible with 'addr_t' and 'size_t'.
The 'Cache_attribute' type has been renamed to 'Cache'.
Input-event handling
====================
A central component for Genode's input-event handling functionality is the
event filter. It merges input events from multiple event sources and passes
them to the event sink (typically the GUI server). In between, it performs
low-level key remapping and applies character mapping rules. Character mapping
rules are essential for supporting different keyboard layouts (including
dead-key sequences). Low-level key remapping is, for instance, used for
changing the emitted key codes of the Num Pad keys according to the Num Lock
state. The different filter functionalities can be arbitrarily assembled into
a filter chain and provided as a dynamic config ROM to the event filter
component. The event sink then receives and processes the filtered events.
Some input devices emit unusual and/or extra key codes in certain situations,
which impedes the event sink's ability to detect key combos correctly. We
therefore added the functionality to completely mute certain key codes. In
order to ignore all unknown key codes for instance, we can now add an
'<ignore-key>' node to the config of the event filter.
! <remap>
! <ignore-key name="KEY_UNKNOWN"/>
! ...
! </remap>
Note, that '<ignore-key>' is part of the '<remap>' filter. The name attribute
refers to the low-level key name before any remapping rule has been applied.
As a second addition, we implemented a '<log>' filter that allows low-level
debugging of the event-filter component and its configuration. The '<log>'
filter can appear at each stage in the filter chain. For instance, we can log
the input events before and after the remap filter as follows.
! <log prefix="REMAPPED ">
! <remap>
! <log prefix="RAW ">
! ...
! </log>
! </remap>
! </log>
The optional 'prefix' attribute thereby helps to distinguish the log output
from different stages.
File-system helpers
===================
The
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.08#New_component_for_querying_information_from_a_file_system - fs_query]
component is a simple helper to query information from a file system. E.g., it
is used by the file browser of Sculpt OS to obtain the directory structure.
The component received two welcomed improvements. First, directory content is
now reported in alphabetic order. Thereby, all consumers of the reports become
able to rely on deterministic output. For example, the file browser of Sculpt
OS, the launcher menu items, and the depot-selection items will appear in a
predictable way. Second, the size of files can be queried now. By adding an
attribute 'size="yes"' to a query, fs_query is instructed to report the size
of each queried file as attribute 'size' of the corresponding 'file' node.
Whereas fs_query inspects a file system without changing it, its sister
component fs_tool is able to perform file-system modifications. The new
version adds a '<new-file path="...">' operation, which writes the content of
the XML node into the file specified as 'path' attribute. The directory
structure leading to the file is implicitly created if needed. Should a file
with the specified name already exist, the original file will be overwritten.
Applications
############
File vault based on the CBE block encrypter
===========================================
Over several releases
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#Preliminary_block-device_encrypter - 19.11],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.05#Feature-completeness_of_the_consistent_block_encrypter - 20.05],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#Consistent_Block_Encrypter - 20.08],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11#Consistent_Block_Encrypter__CBE_ - 20.11]),
we persistently worked at a native solution for modern block encryption - the
SPARK-based CBE-library - and its integration into Genode's VFS. Even though,
this work was already suitable for real-world scenarios like
[https://genodians.org/m-stein/2020-06-12-cbe-linux-vm - hosting a Linux VM on top of an encrypted block device],
it still lacked stress-testing by a regular user base because its integration
into an end-user system - like Sculpt - required tedious low-level wizardry.
This situation had to change because we want to encourage as many people as
possible to expose the codebase around the CBE to their workflows and let it
mature. Therefore, we came up with a new package called file vault that can be
readily deployed on Sculpt OS. It is a graphical front end that aims at making
the creation, use, and maintenance of a CBE-based encrypted file store as
intuitive and secure as possible.
:Introducing the file vault:
[https://genodians.org/m-stein/2021-05-17-introducing-the-file-vault]
[image file_vault_setup]
The file vault only requires two file-system sessions from you (the trust
anchor is stored separately from the payload data). With that, it will
automatically create and connect a trust anchor, set up a CBE image, prepare
an ext2 FS on top of the CBE image and provide it through a file system
service - ready to be used like a simple directory. The directory can be
locked by closing the file vault and unlocked by starting the file vault on
the same trust anchor and entering the correct user passphrase. All controls
for the file vault's underlying CBE encrypter - like for its re-sizing and
re-keying functionality - are presented through a simple and guiding UI that
also provides you with the most relevant status information of your vault.
The file vault package is accompanied by some notable improvements regarding
CBE's key management. Whereas in the previous release, this aspect was still
merely a prototype with almost no protective value, the current implementation
embraces well-known algorithms to generate and encrypt the keys used within
the CBE respectively the file vault. This is explained in detail in the
aforementioned article.
As a note of caution, the primary purpose of the current version of the file
vault is to lift native block encryption in Genode from the development stage
to product quality. At the current stage, it is neither time-tested nor
reviewed by independent cryptography experts. Consequently, you should use it
with a healthy dose of suspicion, for non-critical data only! We would be more
than happy to receive feedback on your experience with the file vault.
VirtualBox
==========
Since the previous release, we continued the enablement of VirtualBox 6 on
Genode and put efforts into stabilizing the port. Therefore, we updated to
version 6.1.18 and reorganized the internal structure for a more
comprehensible execution model with fewer threads. Further, we improved
synchronization in multi-processor use cases and added a Sculpt runtime
package for vbox6.
Finally, as a little treat, our ports of VirtualBox now support to pass extra
buttons of five-button mice to the guest.
Device drivers
##############
Platform driver on ARM
======================
The current release streamlines Genode's API for interacting with the platform
driver on ARM platforms. It eases the access to memory-mapped I/O registers
and interrupts by introducing the notions of
:'Platform::Device': one device obtained from a platform session
:'Platform::Device::Mmio': locally-mapped MMIO registers of a device
:'Platform::Device::Irq': interface for receiving device interrupts
The API is covered in detail by the following article.
:One Platform driver to rule them all:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-04-29-platform-driver]
It goes without saying that this change touches most ARM-specific drivers.
Closely related, we also revised the concept of the XML based device-info
mechanism provided by the platform driver to accommodate both complex drivers
operating on multiple devices simultaneously such as driver stacks ported from
Linux as well as low-complexity drivers for simple devices. In the new
version, the device XML-information dataspace is only provided if the client's
session policy states 'info="yes"'. The format of the XML information got
refined to include the physical resource names (I/O memory and IRQ addresses)
instead of virtual IDs and page offsets and by using a 'type' attribute
instead of a '<compatible>' node to uniquely identify devices.
Changes specific to i.MX8
-------------------------
The platform driver incarnation specific to i.MX8 got slightly improved. It
can handle the configuration of reset-pins now. Analogously to the already
existent power domains, one can assign reset domains per device. Whenever a
device with a reset domain gets acquired, its reset-pins are de-asserted. When
the device gets released again, its reset-pins are asserted to put it into
reset state. A sample configuration looks as follows:
! <device name="mipi_dsi>
! <reset-domain name="mipi_dsi_pclk"/>
! ...
! </device>
Technically, those reset domains map to pin settings of the System Reset
Controller (SRC) that is part of the i.MX8 SoC. The SRC is under control of
the platform driver now. Currently, only the pins for the MIPI DSI Phy get
exported. They are used by the graphical subsystem to handle panels connected
via MIPI DSI.
I2C driver for i.MX8
====================
Thanks to Jean-Adrien Domage from [https://www.gapfruit.com - gapfruit], an
API for I2C bus transactions and a new I2C bus driver for the i.MX8 SoC
entered our framework. Coincidentally, the need to use the new I2C API more
intensively arose soon after his initial contribution. As a consequence, the
API got extended a bit. The result is a nice joint venture, and looks like the
following:
! void transmit(Transaction & t);
Hereby a 'Transaction' is a simple array of 'Message' objects, and a 'Message'
is an array of bytes that are either read or written. For very simple
use-cases, e.g., a client that polls single bytes from a temperature sensor,
some convenience utilities are incorporated into the 'I2c::Connection'.
USB
===
The USB-driver system has received quite a few refinements, performance
improvements, and robustness handling efforts during the current release
cycle. The HID subsystem is now capable of handling devices where the HID USB
interface is at an arbitrary location within the device descriptors - as
opposed to the assumption that the HID interface is always at the first
position in the interface list of the device. Also, the HID driver now handles
session destruction more gracefully and supports unlimited plug and unplug
events of an associated HID device.
For the USB host driver, various fixes of newer Linux kernel versions have
been back ported, which concern the handling of DMA memory. Error code and
timeout handling have been improved in order to support more corner cases, and
the USB session handles outstanding USB requests (synchronous and
asynchronous) on sudden session disconnects gracefully now.
The CPU usage of the host driver for isochronous transfers has been reduced
significantly for Intel XHCI controllers by adding a fix that reduces the
triggering of an interrupt for every completed isochronous packet to one
interrupt per eight packets, bringing the worst case scenario down to 1000
interrupts per second from a possible 8000 IRQs before.
NIC drivers
===========
Drivers for iPXE-supported Ethernet devices, Wifi adapters, and Linux TAP
devices now support the reporting of the MAC address of detected adapters.
The feature can be enabled by a '<report>' node in the driver configuration as
follows, prompting the driver to request a report session with the label
_devices_.
! <config>
! <report mac_address="true"/>
! </config>
The resulting report is depicted below.
! <devices>
! <nic mac_address="02:00:00:00:00:01"/>
! </devices>
Platforms
#########
Genode/Linux on 64-bit ARM
==========================
The release introduces the support for running the Linux version of Genode on
64-bit ARM platforms. As a part of this line of work, Genode's system call
bindings for Linux underwent a modernization to harmonize the system calls
across the supported CPU architectures. Furthermore, we took the opportunity
to simplify the use of the clone system call by eliminating the need for
passing a TLS pointer.
Expecting that the 64-bit Genode/Linux version will remain a niche use case of
Genode in the foreseeable future, we do not provide a pre-built tool chain.
Hence, as a preparatory step for using this version of Genode, the tool chain
must be built manually via Genode's _tool/tool_chain_ script.
As a known limitation, Genode's 'Trace::timestamp' function is not available
on this version of Genode because Linux prevents the user land from accessing
the cycle counter (pmccntr_el0). So the accuracy of timing is somewhat impeded
to the order of milliseconds. Also, the jitterentropy random-number generator
cannot be used.
Those limitations notwithstanding, one can successfully execute scenarios as
complex as _leitzentrale.run_. When using AARCH64 Linux as host, run scripts
can be executed with the same convenience as on Linux on a PC.
! $ make run/<script> KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
Pine-A64-LTS single board computer

[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner]
RISC-V
======
The support for the RISC-V architecture has further been developed into the
direction of a fully supported Genode platform. With this release, we wanted
to enable basic device driver support, which requires a working interrupt
controller. Since the "platform-level interrupt controller" (PLIC) is now
present on most hardware as well as on the Qemu emulator, we have added
support for the PLIC within our base-hw kernel.
With the interrupt controller in place, we implemented a driver for the
[https://opencores.org - OpenCores] Ethernet device as present on the
[https://hensoldt-cyber.com/mig-v - MiG-V] board. The driver component runs on
Qemu (with OpenCores enabled) as well as on the MiG-V board itself. Our RISC-V
board specific line of work can now be found within a separate
[https://github.com/ssumpf/genode-riscv - repository].
With driver support in place, the final step for full RISC-V support in Genode
is to extend our C library for this architecture.
Build system and tools
######################
Tool-chain update to GCC 10.3 and binutils 2.36
===============================================
About every two years, we update our tailored Genode tool chain to recent
versions. This year's update includes GCC 10.3.0, binutils 2.36.1 and GDB 10.2
together with their corresponding Genode libraries and tools (stdcxx, ADA
runtime, libsparkcrypto, gcov, sanitizer).
Feature-wise, changes are not as significant this time as with the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Tool_chain_based_on_GCC_8.3.0_and_binutils_2.32 - previous update],
nevertheless we had to overcome some hurdles worth noting.
* The _gprbuild_ tool, which is needed to build the _ali2dep_
tool had a bug in the version provided by Ubuntu 18.04, which prevented it
from building _ali2dep_ with GCC/GNAT 10. To still be able to build the
tool chain on Ubuntu 18.04, the _gprbuild_ tool is now built from
source (of a newer version) when running the _tool_chain_ script.
* When building the tool chain on armhf Linux, errors occurred because
of mismatching float-abi compiler flags used when building the
dependency libraries (_gmp_, _mpc_, _mpfr_) with the host tool chain and
when building the Genode tool chain with the intermediate bootstrap
tool chain. To solve this problem, the dependency libraries are now
downloaded and built using the GCC build system. This also had the
effect that the _mpc_ and _mpfr_ Genode ports were not needed anymore
and got removed.
* GCC 10 reports more compile errors, which had to be fixed. The most common
errors related to narrowing conversions and potential unaligned pointers
from packed members.
* GCC 10 has the _-fno-common_ option set by default, which caused link
errors especially with some 3rd party ports.
* GCC 10 generated 'memset()' calls in implementations of 'memset()',
which caused stack overflows from this recursion.
* The ARM compiler generates more VFP instructions now, especially when
building for armv6, so we had to update the 'setjmp()' and 'longjmp()'
functions used by _dde_linux_ drivers to additionally save and restore the
FPU registers on ARM.
* With the new binutils version, linker sections with the same name in
multiple linker scripts are not merged anymore. Since we rely on this
behavior when building _core_ for NOVA, we reverted the corresponding change
with a patch.
* With the new binutils version, executable files are not allowed as input
when linking executable output files anymore. The build process of the
Fiasco.OC kernel relied on this behavior and needed to be adapted by the
upstream developers.
The new tool chain has not been enabled for RISC-V yet, because of an unsolved
issue on initialization (resp. initial relocation) of our dynamic linker.
Until we finalized the RISC-V support, we recommend using the tool chain
version 19.05 for this CPU architecture by adding the following two lines to
your build directory's _etc/tools.conf_.
! CROSS_DEV_PREFIX = /usr/local/genode/tool/19.05/bin/genode-riscv-
! REQUIRED_GCC_VERSION = 8.3.0
The updated tool chain can be built from source or downloaded in binary form
as described in this [https://genode.org/download/tool-chain - document].
Utilities for porting Linux drivers
===================================
Dummy-function generator
------------------------
While porting device drivers from the Linux kernel to Genode, one has to
tailor the environment that replaces the original kernel code. Thereby, tons
of missing function and variable implementations have to be written. Most of
them won't even be called by the driver under normal circumstances, but
nonetheless they are needed to link the executable binary.
The production of these dummy functions in the first place is a tiresome and
somewhat annoying work. To free developers from this burden, a new tool
entered the Genode framework under _tool/dde_linux/create_dummies_. Apart from
the creation of missing kernel functions and variables, it can also be used to
easily summarize all missing symbols during the porting work.
For a more detailed explanation of the new tool, please have a look at the
following article.
:Linux device driver ports - Breaking new ground:
[https://genodians.org/skalk/2021-04-08-dde-linux-experiments-1]
Device-tree source processing
-----------------------------
Device-tree source files as featured in the source tree of the Linux kernel
contain valuable information about the structure and parameters of SoCs and
boards. The porting and implementation of device drivers for Genode calls for
tooling that is able to extract and convert this information into digestible
forms. The current release introduces the first version of a new tool set at
_tools/dts/_ for this purpose.
[image dts_extract]
The tool aids the understanding of the hardware and allows for the pruning of
device trees down to a manageable complexity. As an illustration, the
spiderweb on the left shows the device-interdependencies of the Pine-A64-LTS
board. On the right, the device tree is pruned to cover only what's needed to
use Ethernet. The tool is covered in more detail by the following dedicated
article.
:Pruning device trees:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-05-19-pine-dts-pruning]
Cache for downloaded ports
==========================
When working with ports, it is not uncommon that a port hash is changed due to
some minor change like the addition of a patch. A subsequent call of
'prepare_port' would download the same files that were already downloaded
while preparing a previous version of the port even if the downloaded content
remains the same. This wastes internet bandwidth and developer time. The
current release introduces a simple cache for downloaded archives, which
alleviates these costs.
_Thanks to Tomasz Gajewski for his continuous contributions to improve our_
_development workflows._
Common hook for custom build rules
==================================
There are cases that call for building custom targets in addition to a regular
library or program. For example, the executable binary of an application may
be accompanied by generated data files. The creation of such build artifacts
can be expressed by custom make rules. However, a rule is triggered only if it
is a dependency of the build target. This can now be achieved by adding the
rule to the 'CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS' variable. For example,
! CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS += menu_view_styles.tar
!
! menu_view_styles.tar:
! $(VERBOSE)cd $(PRG_DIR); tar cf $(PWD)/bin/$@ styles
_Thanks to Tomasz Gajewski for this welcome contribution._

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 21.08
===============================================
Genode Labs
Genode 21.08 puts device drivers into the spotlight. It attacks the costs of
porting drivers from the Linux kernel and takes a leap forward with respect to
GPU support. This low-level work is complemented by several topics that
contribute to our vision of hosting video-conferencing scenarios natively on
Genode.
For those of you who follow Genode's release notes over the years, the
so-called DDE-Linux is a recurring topic. DDE is short for device-driver
environment and denotes our principal approach of running unmodified Linux
device-driver code inside Genode components. For over a decade, we iterated
many times to find a sustainable and scalable solution for satisfying Genode's
driver needs. Thanks to this enduring work, Genode enjoys support for modern
hardware such as Intel wireless chips or Intel graphics devices. However, when
looking beyond PC hardware, in particular at the plethora of ARM SoCs as
potential target platforms for Genode, we found our existing DDE-Linux
approach increasingly prohibitive because the investment of manual labour per
driver would become unbearable. It was time to recollect, draw from our
collective experience gathered over the past years, and re-envision what
DDE-Linux could be. Section [Linux-device-driver environment re-imagined]
presents the results of this recent line of development that promises to dwarf
the costs of driver-porting work compared to our time-tested approach. The
results have an immediate impact on our ambition to bring Genode to the
Pinephone as our added network and framebuffer drivers for the Allwinner A64
SoC leverage the new DDE already.
The challenge of using hardware-accelerated graphics (GPUs) on Genode makes a
guest appearance in the release notes on-and-off since version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.08#Gallium3D_and_Intel_s_Graphics_Execution_Manager - 10.08].
However, until now, GPU support has not become a commodity for Genode yet.
With the work presented in Section [Advancing GPU driver stack], we hope to
change that. For the first time, we identified a clear path to the
architectural integration of GPU support in sophisticated Genode scenarios
such as Sculpt OS. This outlook prompted us to revive the GPU stack in a
holistic way, including our custom Intel GPU multiplexer as well as the Mesa
stack.
Further highlights of the current release are an improved and updated version
of VirtualBox 6, refined user-level networking, the maturing integration with
host file systems when running Genode on top of Linux, and new media-playback
capabilities for our port of the Chromium web engine.
Linux-device-driver environment re-imagined
###########################################
Over more than a decade, the domestication of Linux device drivers for Genode
has evolved into a quest of almost epic proportions. This long-winded story
has been covered by a recent series of Genodians articles
([https://genodians.org/skalk/2021-04-06-dde-linux-experiments - first],
[https://genodians.org/skalk/2021-04-08-dde-linux-experiments-1 - second],
[https://genodians.org/skalk/2021-06-21-dde-linux-experiments-2 - third]),
which also goes into a technical deep dive of our recent developments.
On the one hand, we draw an enormous value from the device drivers of the
Linux kernel. Genode would be nowhere as useful without the Intel wireless
stack, USB host-controller drivers, or the Intel graphics driver that we
ported over from Linux. On the other hand, those porting efforts are draining
a lot of our energy. Linux kernel code is not designed for microkernel-based
systems after all. Consequently, the transplantation of such code does not
only require a solid understanding of Linux kernel internals, but also ways to
overcome the friction between two radically different operating-system-design
schools (monolithic and component-based) and friction between implementation
languages (C and C++).
Even though we are not short of evidence of successful driver ports, we are
very well aware of several elephants in the room:
Economically, each driver port must be understood as a distinct project of
non-trivial costs. E.g., the port of the i.MX8 graphics driver took us two
months. That's certainly minuscule compared to a driver written from scratch.
But it is still expensive and we feel that those expenses hold us back.
Second, once ported, later updates of drivers to a new kernel version are
costly and risky. But such updates are unavoidable to keep up with new
hardware. The larger the arsenal of device drivers, the bigger this problem
becomes.
Third, the skill set of the porting work is the cross point of Linux kernel
competence and Genode competence. In other words, it's rare. To make Genode
compatible to a broader spectrum of hardware in the long run, driver porting
must become an easily attainable skill rather than black art.
With the current release, we introduce a vastly improved approach to the reuse
of Linux device drivers on Genode. It entails three aspects:
:Code: Reusable building blocks for crafting custom runtime environments
to bring Linux kernel code to fly, and for interfacing Genode's session
interfaces with Linux kernel interfaces.
:Tooling: A custom tool set that automates repetitive work such as generating
dummy implementations of Linux kernel functions.
:Methodology: Consistent patterns and exemplary test scenarios serving as
guiding rails for the development work.
The following illustration maps out the first aspect, the various pieces of
code involved in hosting unmodified Linux driver code on Genode.
The clear separation of those parts reinforces a degree of formalism - in
particular about separating C and C++ - that was absent in our previous takes.
[image dde_linux_parts]
A driver is a Genode component. So the outer border of the picture is Genode's
bare-bones C++ API. At the lower end, the API provides access to device
resources such as interrupts and memory-mapped device registers. At the higher
end, the API allows the driver to play the role of a service for other
components through one of Genode's session interfaces.
The lower (blueish) part of the picture is concerned with the runtime
environment needed to make the Linux kernel code feel right at home. The gap
between Genode's API and Linux kernel interfaces is closed in two steps.
First, the so-called *lx_kit* library implements handy mechanisms for building
the meaty parts of the runtime in C++. For example, it provides a user-level
task scheduling model that satisfies the semantic needs of Linux. The lx_kit
is located at _dde_linux/src/include/lx_kit_ and _dde_linux/src/lib/lx_kit/_
Second, the *lx_emul* (short for Linux emulation) code wraps the lx_kit
functionality into C interfaces. The functions of those interfaces are
prefixed with 'lx_emul_' and serve as basic primitives for re-implementing
(parts of) the original Linux kernel-internal ABI. Although the previous
version of DDE Linux already featured the principle lx_kit and lx_emul
fragments, the new design applies the underlying idea much more stringent,
fostering the almost galvanic separation between C and C++ code. In
particular, C++ code never includes any Linux headers. The lx_emul code also
comprises driver-specific dummy implementations of unused kernel functions.
The handy tool at _tool/dde_linux/create_dummies_ automates the creation of
those dummy implementations now. Finally, the lx_emul code drives the startup
of the Linux kernel code by executing initcalls in the correct order. The
reusable building blocks of lx_emul are located at
_dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul/_ and _dde_linux/src/lib/lx_emul/_
When looking from the upper (greenish) end, the *genode_c_api* library is a
thin wrapper around Genode's session interfaces. It enables C code to
implement a Genode service such as block driver or network driver. The
genode_c_api library is located at _os/include/genode_c_api/_ and
_os/src/lib/genode_c_api/_.
The red area contains sole C code, most of which is unmodified Linux kernel
code. It is supplemented with a small *lx_user* part that uses both the
genode_c_api as well as Linux kernel interfaces to connect the unmodified
Linux kernel code with the Genode universe.
We address the second aspect - the tooling - by the growing tool set at
_tool/dde_linux/_. The biggest time saver is the _create_dummies_ tool, which
automates the formerly manual task of implementing dummy functions to quickly
attain a linkable binary. It is complemented with the _extract_initcall_order_
tool, which supplements lx_emul with the information needed to perform all
Linux initialization steps in the exact same order as a Linux kernel would do.
The third aspect - the methodology - is embodied in two source-code
repositories that leverage the new DDE-Linux approach for two distinct ARM
SoCs, namely i.MX8MQ and Allwinner A64.
:Genode support for i.MX8MQ SoC:
[https://github.com/skalk/genode-imx8mq]
:Genode support for Allwinner A64 SoC:
[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner]
The most pivotal methodological change is the way how we deal with the
Linux-internal API now. In our previous work, we used to mimic the content of
kernel headers by a custom-tailored emulation header _lx_emul.h_ per driver.
Whereas these driver-specific API flavors catered our urge to keep transitive
code complexity at bay, they required significant and boring manual labour.
Now we changed our minds to reusing the original Linux headers, thereby
greatly reducing the amount of repetitive work while reducing the likelihood
for subtle bugs.
Success stories
---------------
Both repositories linked above employ the re-imagined DDE-Linux approach to
resounding success. The i.MX8MQ repository features drivers for framebuffer
output and SD-card access,
[https://genodians.org/skalk/2021-08-02-mnt-reform2-sdcard - targeting the MNT Reform laptop].
The Allwinner repository contains a network driver for the Pine-A64-LTS board
and a new framebuffer driver for the Pinephone. No single line of Linux code
had to be changed.
We found that the development of those driver components took only a fraction
of time compared to our past experiences. The most unnerving aspects of the
driver porting work have simply vanished: Subtle incompatibilities between C
and C++ are ruled out by design now. The hunt for missing initcalls is no
more. No dummy function must be written by hand. The compilation of arbitrary
Linux compilation units works instantly without manual labour.
This - in turn - brings the experimental addition or removal of kernel
subsystems down from hours to seconds, turning the development work into an
exploratory experience.
That said, it is not all roses. Components based on Linux drivers have to
carry substantial Linux-specific bureaucracy along with them. The resulting
components tend to be somewhat obese given their relatively narrow purpose.
E.g., the executable binary of the framebuffer driver for the Pinephone is
1.5 MiB in size, most of which is presumably dead weight.
Transition
----------
Our existing and time-tested Linux-based drivers located in the _dde_linux_
repository have remained untouched by the current release.
We plan to successively update or replace those drivers using the new
approach. Until then, the original components refer to the old approach as
"legacy". E.g., the former implementation of lx_emul has been moved to
_dde_linux/src/include/legacy/lx_emul/_.
Advancing GPU driver stack
##########################
With release 21.08, we take a major leap towards 3D and GPU support on Genode.
This topic has been on the slow burner for a while now and we were happy to be
able to finally revive this topic. On the Mesa front, we conducted an update
to version 21.0.0 (Section [Mesa update]), while adding more features and new
platforms to our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.08 - Intel GPU multiplexer].
On Intel platforms, there exists no hardware distinction between the display
controller and 3D acceleration, as both functions are provided by the GPU.
Other platforms, e.g. ARM based SoCs, often contain a separate display and a
GPU device, making it possible to isolate display configuration within a
separate driver. Therefore, we are glad to report that we found a solution on
how to separate display and 3D acceleration on Intel systems.
Mesa update
-----------
Genode's port of the
[https://www.mesa3d.org - Mesa 3D graphics library] dates back to version
11.2.2 that was released in 2016 while the current version is past 21 by now.
Because of this version gap, we decided to start with a fresh port of Mesa
instead of solely updating from version 11. The more recent version enabled us
to switch from Mesa's DRI drivers (i965) to the
[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D - Gallium] version (Iris) for Intel
GPUs.
[https://xdc2018.x.org/slides/optimizing-i965-for-the-future.pdf - Iris]
is Intel's redesigned version of the dated i965 driver that aims to lower CPU
usage and improved performance. It is the only driver that supports Gen 12
(Intel's current Xe GPU architecture) while also removing support for old
Intel generations. As Genode supports Gen 8 (Broadwell) platforms only, we
felt that Iris is the driver of choice for the future.
GPU multiplexer improvements
----------------------------
The GPU multiplexer received stability improvements, new features required by
Mesa's Iris driver, i.e. context isolation and sync objects, and bug fixes
prompted by supporting newer GPU generations. These generations include Gen 9
(Skylake) and Gen 9.5 (Kaby Lake), with more versions to come. Please note
that this line of work is not finished and is as of now in a preliminary state
with ongoing efforts.
The GPU multiplexer as a platform service
-----------------------------------------
As stated at the beginning of this chapter, Intel PC platforms have no
distinction between the display device and the 3D rendering. Both functions
are integrated into the GPU as display engine and render engine. This implies
that Genode's Intel framebuffer/display driver has to share resources with the
GPU multiplexer. The co-location of both drivers in one component, however,
violates Genode's core principle of a minimally-complex trusted computing
base. Whereas the complex display driver should best be a disposable component
([https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/microkernel_pluggable_device_drivers_for_genode/ - FOSDEM talk]),
the GPU driver must ideally be realized as a low-complexity resource
multiplexer.
We eventually found a way to solve this contradiction: On Genode, each driver
requests the hardware resources to program a device from the platform driver
via the platform session. As these resources cannot be shared, we came up with
the idea that the GPU multiplexer requests all GPU resources and itself
provides a platform service for the display driver. It hands out the subset of
resources that are related to display handling and forwards display
interrupts. This approach is completely transparent to Genode's Intel display
driver.
[image gpu_architecture]
System integration of the GPU driver/multiplexer and the framebuffer driver
as distinct components
We already have implemented this solution for Gen 8 and are working on newer
generations.
Future prospects
----------------
In the current state, we are still working on newer Intel (Gen9+) GPU support
and are planning to integrate this line of work into Sculpt release 21.09 with
a small demo scenario (e.g., [https://github.com/glmark2/glmark2 - Glmark2]
that is now available in Genode world).
Additionally, there is ongoing work to support
[https://www.verisilicon.com/en/IPPortfolio/VivanteGPUIP - Vivante] GPUs as
utilized by i.MX SoCs. As of now Mesa's etnaviv driver is included in our
Mesa update and a GPU multiplexer component based on the Linux DRM driver is
available as a preview on
[https://github.com/cnuke/genode/commits/21.08-etnaviv - this] topic branch.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Revised cache-maintenance interface
===================================
The base library used to expose a single cache-maintenance function to
user-level components, namely 'cache_coherent'. It is primarily needed to
accommodate self-modifying code, e.g., for JIT compilers, to write back
data-cache lines, and invalidate the corresponding instruction-cache lines.
However, we found that the proper support for cached DMA buffers in Linux
device-driver ports calls for two additional semantic flavours.
One is needed whenever driver code initially writes data to a DMA buffer
before handing over the buffer to the device. Linux driver code usually issues
a 'dma_map_*' call in this case to ensure that data gets written out to memory
and the data cache is invalidated. This scenario is now covered by the new
'cache_clean_invalidate_data' function.
The other flavor is needed to invalidate data-cache lines before reading
device-generated content from a DMA buffer. Linux driver code usually calls a
'dma_unmap_*' function in this case. This case is now covered by the new
'cache_invalidate_data' function.
Both functions are provided for the base-hw and Fiasco.OC kernels on the ARM
architecture.
Improved host file-system access on Genode/Linux
================================================
Genode has included a component for host file-system access on Linux for
years, but the state of the implementation and the feature set limited its
application to mere debugging or development scenarios. This release improves
*lx_fs* in certain areas to permit common use cases and scenarios.
First, the file-system server gets support for the unlinking of files, which
was left out in the past to prevent accidental deletion of files on the host.
The current version includes a robust implementation of the feature, which is
confined to the configured sub-directory.
Further, sessions track client-specific consumption of resources (namely RAM
and capabilities) and also support dynamic resource upgrades. Last, we added
file-watching support to lx_fs, which enables monitoring files for changes
based on the inotify interface of the Linux kernel. The implementation is
prepared to handle bursts of changes by limiting the rate of notifications to
the client.
These improvements were contributed by Pirmin Duss.
New black-hole component
========================
A commonly requested feature for Sculpt OS is that it would be nice to have
the ability to wire up various sessions of a deployed component to a dummy
version of the required service. This way, the user could easily start an
application that would normally require, for example, an audio-out session but
connect it to a "black hole" component that simply drops all audio data. This
would be especially useful if no hardware driver for a specific device is
available on a particular platform, but would also allow for more fine-grained
privacy control.
For this release, we created a first version of the black-hole component,
which provides a dummy implementation of the audio-out session when enabled in
the configuration:
! <config>
! <audio_out/>
! </config>
More session types are intended to be added in future releases.
NIC router
==========
With this release, the NIC router receives an enhancement of its feature for
forwarding DNS configurations via DHCP, a sensible way of dealing with
fragmented IPv4 packets, and some minor cleanups regarding its configuration
interface. The update changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in
a non-compatible way. Hence, systems that integrate the router might require
adaptation. At the end of this section, you can find an overview of how to
adapt systems properly.
The NIC router now interprets the IPv4 flags "More Fragments" and "Fragment
Offset" in order to determine whether an IPv4 packet is fragmented or not.
Fragmented packets are dropped safely while the unfragmented ones are routed
as usual. The decision to drop fragmented packets by default is the result of
a long discussion among users and developers of the NIC router. That
discussion came to the conclusion that the complexity overhead and security
risks of routing fragmented IPv4 outrun its relevance in modern world
networks. Therefore, we assume that for the common user of the router, a
simple rejection of fragmented IPv4 is the better deal.
The consideration of IPv4 fragmentation is accompanied by several ways of
communicating the router's decision to drop fragmented packets. If the config
flag 'verbose_packet_drop' is set, the router prints a message "drop packet
(fragmented IPv4 not supported)" for each dropped fragment to the log. If the
new attribute 'dropped_fragm_ipv4' in the config tag '<report>' is set, the
router will report the number of packets dropped due to fragmentation. Last
but not least, the NIC router can also be instructed to inform the sender of a
dropped IPv4 fragment by sending an ICMP "destination unreachable" reply. Like
the other feedback mechanisms, this is deactivated by default and can be
activated by setting the new config attribute 'icmp_type_3_code_on_fragm_ipv4'.
The attribute must be set to a valid ICMP code number that is then used for
the replies.
The run script 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' demonstrates the router's behavior
regarding fragmented IPv4.
For many years, the DHCP server of the NIC router is capable of sending DNS
configuration attributes with its replies. At first, this was only a single
DNS server address. With
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#NIC_router - Genode 21.02],
this has been extended to a list of DNS server addresses. Sending such address
lists has now been made more conforming to the RFCs in that the server will
list them all in one option 6 field instead of adding one option 6 field per
address. Consequently, the DHCP client of the router now also considers only
the first option 6 field of a reply but may parse multiple addresses from it.
Another new feature is that the DHCP client of the router now remembers the
domain name (option 15) of a DHCP reply that leads to an IPv4 configuration.
Analogously, the DHCP server will send a domain name with DHCP replies if such
a name is at hand. As with DNS server addresses, the DHCP server can obtain
the domain name either statically through its configuration (new config tag
'<dns-domain>') or dynamically from the results of a DHCP client of another
domain. The latter is achieved by setting the new config attribute
'dns_config_from' that replaces the former attribute 'dns_server_from'. If
'dns_config_from' is set to the name of another domain, the DHCP server will
use both the DNS server addresses and the DNS domain name of the domain.
DNS domain names that were stored with a dynamic IPv4 configuration in the
router are also reported via the new report tag '<dns-domain>' whenever the
'config' attribute in the config tag '<report>' is set. As with DNS server
addresses, this allows for manual forwarding and filtering through individual
management components (see
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#NIC_router - Genode 21.02]).
As a delayed adaption to the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#Pluggable_network_device_drivers - introduction of the Uplink session]
two Genode releases ago, the term "Uplink", that was used in combination with
the NIC router to refer to NIC sessions that the router requested itself, has
been re-named more accurately to "NIC client". This is meant to prevent
confusion with the new session type and, most notable to users, implies that
the tag '<uplink>' in router configurations got re-named to '<nic-client>'.
How to adjust Genode 21.05 systems to the new NIC router
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration,
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays
the same. This does not yield any semantic changes.
* At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration, replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The
attribute value remains unaltered. Be aware that this will add forwarding of
DNS domain names to your system. Forwarding DNS server addresses but not DNS
domain names is not supported anymore.
RAM framebuffer driver for Qemu
===============================
During graphical application development on ARMv8, it became obvious that
Genode still lacked framebuffer-driver support on Qemu for ARMv8, thus
rendering test execution on real hardware mandatory. In order to speedup test
and development time for graphical applications, we enabled RAM framebuffer
support for the "virt_qemu" board by adding a 'driver_interactive-virt_qemu'
package. The package contains a 'ram_fb_drv' that configures a RAM framebuffer
through Qemu's firmware interface and uses the capture session interface to
provide access to the framebuffer.
To test drive the driver, you can execute any Genode run script that requires
graphical applications. The following example shows how to execute the demo
run script in Qemu:
* In _<genode_dir>/build/arm_v8a/etc/build.conf_ change
! # use time-tested graphics backend
! QEMU_OPT += -display sdl
to
! QEMU_OPT += -device ramfb
* In _<genode_dir>/build/arm_v8a_ execute
! make KERNEL=hw BOARD=virt_qemu run/demo
Sandbox API
===========
When using [https://github.com/nfeske/goa - Goa], we noticed that using the os
API caused binaries to be always linked against 'sandbox.lib.so' because its
symbols were part of the api archive as well. We therefore decided to separate
the sandbox API from the os API by moving the header files to
_repos/os/include/sandbox/_ and providing them in a distinct api archive along
with the library symbols.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Updated and improved VirtualBox
===============================
Our ongoing development efforts with VirtualBox 6.1 extended the
implementation in various aspects. With this release, we updated the version
to 6.1.26 published in July to stay in sync with upstream developments. This
version especially improves the audio back end for the OSS interface and
graphics.
On the integration side, VirtualBox 6 now supports dynamic framebuffer
resolutions and the capslock ROM mode. The latter is important to provide the
user a consistent system-wide capslock state, which is controlled by a global
capslock ROM and virtual KEY_CAPSLOCK events forwarded to guest operating
systems. Per default, a raw mode is used and capslock input events are sent
unfiltered to the guest. For ROM mode, VirtualBox may be configured like
follows.
!<config capslock="rom">
The network-device model in VirtualBox 5 uses the MAC address from the
connected NIC session. We added this behavior also to VirtualBox 6. During the
past months, we also observed significant performance issues with the AHCI
model, which we address in this release. The background is that our port of
VirtualBox 6 limits changes to the original code and execution model to a bare
minimum. This renders updates of the upstream version less expensive, but on
the other hand, uncovers some inherent assumptions about the runtime behavior
(i.e., scheduling of threads) in the original implementation that must be
addressed.
Qt5 and QtWebEngine
===================
In this release, we enabled SSL server certificate validation and support for
multimedia playback in our ports of QtWebEngine and the Falkon web browser.
More specifically, we ported the 'nss' library for the SSL certificate
validation and the 'sndio' library as back end for the audio playback
functionality and enhanced our OSS audio VFS plugin accordingly.
The following screenshot shows an example use case of Falkon as a private
multimedia browser, which stores all session data, like cookies, in RAM only.
In the future, we also want to enable support for multimedia input and,
consequently, private video conferences.
[image falkon_youtube]
Modular integration of LTE modem stack in Sculpt OS
===================================================
In version [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#LTE_modem_stack - 21.02],
we announced the LTE modem support as a prerequisite for using Genode on the
Pinephone. Since most of our development laptops also come with LTE modems or
an extension slot for installing one, we explored ways to augment the Sculpt
scenario with mobile networking on demand, i.e., by the installation of
additional components. The result is documented by means of an
[https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2021-07-21-mobile-network - article on genodians.org].
Webcam improvements using libuvc
================================
With webcam support added by the previous release, we discovered some
complications with devices that implement the UVC spec in version 1.5. We
found one of those devices in a Thinkpad T490s. Since
[https://ken.tossell.net/libuvc/doc - libuvc] did not fully implement this
version of the spec, we added a patch for this. The main issue was the
different size of the video probe and commit control messages. Interestingly,
the problematic device is quite picky in this regard and only responds when
the size was set correctly. In connection with this, we fixed a bug in our
[https://libusb.info - libusb] back end, which caused the size of USB control
messages being wrongly calculated.
Apart from these device-specific issues, the webcam driver now enables auto
exposure in order to adapt to different lighting conditions.
Sndio audio library
===================
To complement the VFS OSS-plugin introduced in release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11 - 20.11], we ported the
[https://sndio.org - sndio] library to Genode. It contains an OSS back end
that prompted us to broaden the functionality of our VFS plugin to satisfy
the requirements of the library. This is in line with the envisioned plan to
extend the OSS plugin incrementally to cover more use cases.
The sndio framework features a server component besides the library but for
the moment, we focus solely on using sndio in a client context. Here the
component, e.g., cmus and Falkon, uses the library to access the sound device
directly.
Build system and tools
######################
Tool-chain support for RISC-V
=============================
As one might have noticed, Genode's RISC-V tool chain is absent in tool-chain
release
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/genode/files/genode-toolchain/21.05/genode-toolchain-21.05-x86_64.tar.xz/download - 21.05]
because it still had issues at the release time. These issues, namely the
problem of the dynamic linker's self relocation during program startup have
been resolved during this release cycle. The RISC-V tool chain can now be
built manually using Genode's regular 'tool_chain' script:
! <genode-dir>/tool/tool_chain riscv ENABLE_FEATURES="c c++ gdb"
Run tool
========
Genode's custom workflow automation tool called 'run' received the following
enhancements.
To ease the hosting of driver packages outside of Genode's main repository -
an emerging pattern for supporting new SoCs - we replaced the formerly
built-in names of board-specific 'drivers_nic' and 'drivers_interactive' depot
packages by the convention of appending the board name as a suffix, e.g.,
'drivers_nic-pine_a64lts'. Hence, new hardware support can now be added
without touching the run tool.
The ARM fastboot plugin can now be used on 64-bit ARM platforms in addition to
32-bit ARM. Its formerly mandatory parameter '--load-fastboot-device' has
become optional and can be omitted if only one device is present.
A new _image/uboot_fit_ plugin enables the use of U-Boot's new FIT (flattened
image tree) image format (carrying the extension 'itb'), which supersedes the
uImage format. The new format simplifies the booting of a Linux system, which
typically requires not only a kernel image but also a device-tree binary and a
RAM disk. A FIT image combines all ingredients into a single file and adds
some metadata like checksums. Note, however, that booting an _image.itb_,
which doesn't contain a device-tree binary may cause U-Boot's 'bootm' command
to fail. A workaround for this is to execute the individual boot steps
separately, which skips the Linux-specific preparatory steps that depend on
the device-tree binary:
! bootm start
! bootm loados
! bootm go
Removal of deprecated components
################################
In the release notes of version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11#Retiring_the_monolithic_USB_driver - 20.11],
we announced the retirement of our traditional monolithic USB-driver
component, which used to combine host-controller drivers together with USB
storage, HID, and networking drivers in a single component. With the current
release, we ultimately completed the transition to our multi-component USB
stack and removed the deprecated monolithic USB driver.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 21.11
===============================================
Genode Labs
Version 21.11 of the Genode OS Framework puts device drivers into the
spotlight. Where to begin? Back in
[https://genode.org/news/road-map-for-2021 - January], we envisioned Genode
running on the Pinephone. With the current release, the first interactive
Genode scenarios become alive on this platform. Unlike the regular Linux-based
systems used on the Pinephone, we are walking on new ground by running each
individual driver in a dedicated sandbox.
Speaking of 64-bit ARM platforms, Genode's support for the i.MX8 SoC family
received a new USB host driver as well as the first version of the Vivante GPU
driver. The latter is a continuation of our GPU-related work presented in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Advancing_GPU_driver_stack - previous release],
which proves that our approach of integrating hardware-accelerated graphics
into the framework's architecture is applicable across different GPU vendors.
As promised three months ago, we have also taken our custom Intel GPU
multiplexer to Gen9 or newer devices. In fact, GPU support has now become a
regular feature of the Genode-based Sculpt OS that can be taken for a spin on
commodity PC hardware.
Even though most efforts are nowadays spent on 64-bit platforms, we have
revived Genode's support for Xilinx Zynq devices in aspiration of future
hardware-software co-design work. Those chips combine FPGA fabric with 32-bit
ARM cores and thereby allow us to explore the combination of reconfigurable
hardware with Genode's component architecture.
For users who prefer the comforts of virtual hardware over the tinkering with
physical devices, new drivers for VirtIO input and graphics open up the use of
interactive Genode systems on Qemu's "virt" platform.
Besides the predominant device-driver topics of the release, one other
highlight is the feature completion of Genode's version of VirtualBox 6 on PC
platforms, which has now reached parity with the time-tested version 5. Now,
features like shared folders, shared clipboard, sound, or USB pass-through
have become readily available.
A little kingdom for each SoC family
####################################
With the number of supported boards and CPU architectures growing, our
existing maintenance structure of the central Genode code repository becomes
increasingly nonviable. We made the following observations.
First, with respect to drivers ported from Linux, each SoC tends to refer
to a different _flavour_ of the Linux kernel. This so-called vendor kernel
may be a specific version with a blessed kernel configuration, or even a
hard fork. In the past, we tried harmonizing drivers across SoCs by using
the vanilla Linux kernel as common ground. But in practice, this common
ground seems to be walked-on by only a few. Devices are shipped with vendor
kernels after all. To get the best supported drivers for a given hardware,
we have to port the drivers from the respective vendor kernel.
This realization, in turn, faces us with the problem of a growing number
of vendor kernels we have to work with whenever extending Genode's hardware
support to a new SoC. But there are only so many Linux kernels one can juggle
with.
Second, when using one monolithic code base for all SoCs, the coordination of
the code repository becomes a bottleneck when it comes to reviewing and
merging contributions, and the nurturing of a consistent level of quality
assurance. In the case of Genode, this responsibility is shared by two head
maintainers. However, their expertise lies in the Genode framework, not in the
peculiarities of specific SoC hardware. Hence, the review of such SoC-related
contributions must remain at surface level. But the burden of responsibility
still rests on the two.
Third, we ultimately want to encourage 3rd parties - like hardware vendors -
to supplement SoC support for Genode independently from us. Forcing such
independent developers to funnel their results into our code base is not
always natural and may even be legally impeded by Genode's need for a
[https://genode.org/community/contributions#Genode_Contributors_Agreement - contributor's agreement].
We want to avoid such artificial friction.
The consequence of these observations is the need to modularize our code base
around the idea of giving each SoC family a little kingdom of their own. We
envision a code repository with a different maintainer for each SoC family. As
a prerequisite, we had to cleanly separate SoC-specific code from the generic
code that will remain in the main Genode repository. To stress this approach,
each of four developers picked a dedicated SoC family and went with it. Stefan
Kalkowski took the i.MX-related code to his
[https://github.com/skalk/genode-imx - genode-imx] repository,
Johannes Schlatow took the Xilinx Zynq code to his
[https://github.com/jschlatow/genode-zynq - genode-zynq] repository,
Norman Feske
maintains the Allwinner code for the Pinephone in
his [https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner - genode-allwinner]
repository, and Sebastian Sumpf gave the RISC-V support a new home
at his [https://github.com/ssumpf/genode-riscv - genode-riscv] repository.
By looking at this modularization from four different perspectives at the same
time, we reached satisfying interfaces between the generic and SoC-specific
code. We found that this maintenance model works as anticipated. In
particular, we hoped that each SoC can be shepherded by a single person
without stress. This turned out to be true.
We also found that the taken approach gives each maintainer a sense of
autonomy that was not possible with one monolithic code base. This is
particularly fruitful when drafting generic utilities for the eventual
inclusion into Genode's main repository. The drafts can first receive a test
of time at individual SoC repositories before integrating them into the common
code base, the pin I/O interfaces described in
Section [Pin I/O session interfaces] being a good example.
The supportive tooling for each SoC tends to differ between vendors, speaking
of custom system-image formats, boot loaders, or firmware. The SoC-specific
repositories provide a natural home for hosting such tools, custom work-flow
scripts, and configurations.
With this exploratory phase completed, we plan to move the SoC-specific
repositories - that currently reside at each maintainer's GitHub account -
under the banner of [https://github.com/genodelabs - genodelabs] during the
next release cycle.
NXP i.MX family
===============
Support for the family of i.MX SoC related boards is located in the
[https://github.com/skalk/genode-imx - genode-imx] repository.
By now, it contains far-reaching support for the i.MX 8M Quad evaluation kit,
and the MNT Reform2.
Besides the basic kernel support for Genode's custom base-hw microkernel,
it contains drivers for using SD and eMMC cards, HDMI, and MIPI-DSI connected
displays, Ethernet, and USB connected devices. Moreover, we are proud to
introduce support for the Vivante GPU used by the i.MX 8M SoC. All mentioned
device drivers were ported using the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - re-imagined approach to port Linux drivers]
that was introduced in the previous release.
To obtain a ready-to-use SD-card when testing an arbitrary run-script
scenario, it is sufficient to add the following value to the 'RUN_OPT'
variable:
! RUN_OPT += --include image/imx8mq_mmc
Depending on which board you've chosen, it will build the corresponding u-boot
bootloader, file system, Genode system image, and integrate those parts into
one SD-card image.
Xilinx Zynq
===========
Basic platform support for the Zynq-7000 SoC has already been added to Genode
with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.11#Xilinx_Zynq-7000 - release 15.11].
While the virtualized zynq_qemu board support resided in the main Genode
repository and was regularly tested, support files for real Zynq-hardware were
living in segregation within the Genode-world repository.
By creating a new realm in form of a
[https://github.com/jschlatow/genode-zynq - genode-zynq repository], we were
able to consolidate the Zynq-specific board support and drivers in one place.
Furthermore, we are currently intensifying our work on this platform and
documenting the journey on
[https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2021-11-29-zynq-guide-1 - genodians.org].
This particularly includes building ready-to-use SD card images with u-boot
and supporting run-time re-configuration of the FPGA.
In order to use the zynq repository, you only need to create a clone at
_repos/zynq_, create a new build directory for arm_v7a and uncomment the
corresponding line in your etc/build.conf. Step-by-step instructions for
individual boards can be found at _repos/zynq/doc/_.
Allwinner A64 (Pinephone)
=========================
During the release cycle, Genode's support for the Allwinner A64 SoC, and
the Pinephone in particular, made big leaps forward. The corresponding code
is hosted in the dedicated
[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner - genode-allwinner] repository.
First, the Linux version taken as the basis for ported device drivers has been
updated to 5.14.1 in order to support the revision v2 of the Pine-A64-LTS
board, which features a different Ethernet PHY, namely the Motorcomm YT8511
PHY. Genode's 'pine_a64lts' board supports both board revisions now.
To enable touchscreen input on the Pinephone, the corresponding driver for the
Goodix touchscreen controller has been ported from the Linux kernel. It
complements the framebuffer driver that we introduced with the previous
release. Combined, both drivers enable the use of Genode's regular interactive
scenarios based on the 'drivers_interactive' package. The biggest technical
challenge was the untangling of both drivers from the clock, reset, and power
control units (CCU, RSB, PMIC). Those low-level platform configurations are
now handled by a new A64-specific version of the platform driver.

The improved driver support is accompanied with new tooling for booting Genode
on the Pinephone, either via USB fastboot, or via SD-card. Both options are
described in the following Genodians article.

RISC-V board support for the base-hw kernel is now located at the
[https://github.com/ssumpf/genode-riscv - genode-riscv] repository. Currently,
the repository contains support for the

as well as a driver for MiG-V's network-interface controller.

##########################################
New pattern for C++ error handling
==================================
Genode employs C++ exceptions for propagating errors, which is true to the
language. However, the use and the mechanics of C++ exceptions comes with its
own bag of problems. The current release introduces a new error-handling
pattern in the form of the so-called 'Attempt' utility. Its name reflects its
designated use as a carrier for return values. This new utility is described
by a dedicated article at Genodians.org:
:An 'Attempt' to avoid C++ exceptions:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-11-26-attempt-no-exceptions]
During the release cycle, we applied the 'Attempt' pattern to Genode's
low-level memory-allocation code, namely core's PD session interface (for the
allocation of RAM dataspaces), and the code related to the generic 'Allocator'
interface (for the allocation of bytes). The latter is an extensive change,
touching all implementations of this interface.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface as a mere client - in particular use cases where an
'Allocator' is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it exists merely as a wrapper around the new 'try_alloc'.
However, the change does not preserve compatibility with the original
'Range_allocator' interface. So uses of this interface must be adapted.
Pin I/O session interfaces
==========================
On ARM-based SoCs, the use of general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins is omnipresent.
Traditionally, Genode features the "Gpio" session interface for this purpose.
This interface allows a client to access an individual pin. Once assigned to a
pin, the session grants the client the full responsibility for the pin. In
particular the direction of the I/O pin is laid into the hands of the client.
We later realized that the wiring and thereby the direction of a pin is
ultimately a board-level decision. Wrongly operating an input pin in output
mode can easily result in a short-circuit. Therefore, the client of an
individual pin should better not be burdened with the responsibility to
control the pin direction or pull resistors. To address this concern, it is
best to split the roles of GPIO pins into clear-cut session interfaces.
Those roles are:
* The sensing of the state of a GPIO pin, e.g., detecting whether a button is
pressed or not: operating a pin as an input signal. This role is now covered
by the "Pin_state" session interface with the single RPC function
! bool state() const;
By calling this function, the client can request the state of the pin.
That's it.
* Controlling the signal level of a pin: operating a pin as an output signal.
This role is now addressed by the "Pin_control" session interface that
provides an interface of only one rather unsurprising RPC function
! void state(bool);
* Receiving a notification of a change of the signal level of a GPIO pin:
operating a pin as an interrupt source. This role can be represented by
Genode's existing IRQ session interface - the same interface as provided by
Genode's core for GIC interrupts.
Since each pin corresponds to a separate session, per-pin access control
becomes possible by Genode's regular session-routing mechanisms.
In contrast to the original GPIO session, the role of each pin as output and
input becomes explicit. A client can no longer drive a pin that is an input
signal unless explicitly permitted.
The interfaces were created and time-tested in the context of our
Pinephone-related development, in particular during the work described in the
following two articles.
:Device access from the user level:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-03-17-pine-fun-device-access]
:One Platform driver to rule them all:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-04-29-platform-driver]
Pin-driver framework
--------------------
In real-world system scenarios, a variety of different components must
decidedly interact with individual GPIO pins. This is where a so-called pin
driver enters the picture. This component provides the pin-state, pin-control,
and IRQ services. Analogously to how the platform driver safeguards the access
to device resources by different - mutually distrusting - device drivers, the
pin driver's job is the safeguarding of GPIO pins.
To ease the implementation of such pin drivers, the new session interfaces are
accompanied by a set of new utilities in
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/staging/repos/os/include/os/pin_driver.h - os/pin_driver.h].
The use of these utilities is best illustrated by the
[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner/tree/master/src/drivers/pin/a64 - pin driver for the A64 SoC].
Time-multiplexed pin direction
------------------------------
There exist rare use cases for changing the direction of an I/O pin during
runtime. For example, the Goodix touchscreen controller as found in the
Pinephone monitors the state of its interrupt signal during reset. During its
normal operation, this signal is driven by the touchscreen controller but
during reset, it is driven by the host to send one bit of information (I2C
address selection). We support this time-multiplexed use of one pin as both
input and output by the means of session lifetimes. The pin driver switches
the pin into output mode not before a client establishes a pin-control session
referring to this pin. The client can thereby control the direction by
creating or closing its pin-control session.
Genode C APIs
=============
USB host-controller service API
-------------------------------
While porting the Linux driver for the Designware USB host-controller used
within the i.MX 8M SoC, we introduced a new C API to serve Genode USB clients
from C driver ports. It enables drivers to:
* Announce and release USB devices,
* Ask for a session handle of an open session via the bus/device ID pair,
* Ask for a single USB request via a session handle,
* Acknowledge a USB request via a session and request handle, and
* Notify potential USB clients that I/O progress has been made.
You can find the new C API under _repos/os/include/genode_c_api/usb.h_. A
working example driver can be found within the 'genode-imx' repository under
_src/drivers/usb_host/imx8mq_.
Touchscreen driver API
----------------------
To accommodate input drivers written in C, like the ones ported from the Linux
kernel, we need a clean way to connect C code with Genode's event session
interface.
The current release introduces a C API to be used by input drivers to generate
Genode events. The interface is located at
_repos/os/include/genode_c_api/event.h_ whereas the implementation resides at
_repos/os/src/lib/genode_c_api/event.cc_.
The initial version is limited to multitouch events only.
As of now, it is used by the Goodix touchscreen driver for the Pinephone.
Event filter for converting touch to pointer input
==================================================
Unlike traditional pointer devices, touchscreens have no notion of a pointer
position, hovering, or mouse buttons. E.g., without touching, there is no
position. There exists a gap between those devices and regular GUI
applications, which respond to pointer events in terms of hovering motion (in
screen coordinates) and mouse clicks. Genode's existing touchscreen drivers
try to bridge this gap by translating touch input to pointer events in rather
pragmatic ways. This is not optimal for two reasons.
First, putting the burden of emulating traditional pointer devices on the
touchscreen drivers not only inflates their complexity but is also unnatural
when the calibration of touch coordinates to screen coordinates comes into
play. In this case, the touchscreen driver must be made aware of the display
resolution. Second, the heuristics of how touch events are best translated
into pointer events tend to differ from driver to driver, or between Genode
use cases. Any intelligence that is builtin in the drivers stands in the way
of interchanging the drivers or enhancing the translation across all drivers
(e.g., adding two-finger-scroll).
To solve this problem in a clean way, we added a new optional filter for
translating touch events to pointer events to Genode's event-filter component
(first introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Input-event_filter - 17.02]
as input filter, reworked in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#Replacing_the_input_filter_with_an_event_filter - 20.08]).
The new filter comes in the form of a new '<touch-click>' node in the filter's
'<output>' definition. For example, the configuration of the event filter that
sits in-between the Goodix touchscreen driver for the Pinephone and the
nitpicker GUI server looks as follows.
! <config>
! <output>
! <touch-click>
! <input name="touch"/>
! </touch-click>
! </output>
! <policy label="touch" input="touch"/>
! </config>
The filter augments touch events with artificial absolute motion and mouse
click/clack events as understood by regular GUI applications. The original
touch events are preserved, enabling touch-aware applications to interpret
touch gestures.
Device drivers

Hardware-accelerated graphics
=============================
Generic GPU-session interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we introduced the GPU session initially, it was modeled after the
perceived requirements of the Linux i915 DRM back end. In the meantime, with
the enablement of a more recent Mesa version and the addition of Vivante as
another GPU family, we learned that some of those requirements are obsolete.
First, we replaced the 'info' RPC by an information ROM dataspace to overcome
the following limitations.
* The amount of data that can be transferred in an RPC is constrained by the
underlying base platform,
* Most information never changes during run time but must be copied
nonetheless when using an RPC interface,
* The information presented differs depending on the used GPU device.
With the introduction of Vivante, the original Intel-centric implementation no
longer suffices.
* Sequence numbers of GPU execution buffers are not GPU-specific and, thus,
should be part of the generic GPU session interface.
Currently, the GPU-specific information is presented in binary format, which
is specified in _gpu/info_intel.h_ resp. _gpu/info_etnaviv.h_ for the Vivante
GPU. We entertain the idea to replace the current representation by an
XML-based ROM in the future to render the interface binary agnostic and also
backwards-compatible. The information ROM can be accessed via the
'attached_info' client API function.
Furthermore, we replaced the usage of heavy-weight dataspace capabilities with
light-weight client-local identifiers called 'Buffer_id' within the API. In
case the client requires a capability (e.g., for mapping the buffer in its
address space) it uses the corresponding ID to request it from the server.
With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to take their
requirements into account as well. We introduced abstractions that further
encapsulate the device-specific state and operations. The changes in this
release represent only the first consolidation steps of Genode's GPU support
and we will continue this work during the next months.
Intel GPU support for Gen9 and newer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As mentioned in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Advancing_GPU_driver_stack - 21.08]
release notes, we were fiercely working on Intel GPU Gen9+ support because
Gen8 (Broadwell) was the only stable running GPU on Genode at the time. For
Gen9+, we experienced severe GPU hangs after an undefined amount of rendering
passes. As promised in the previous release, we dove right in and were able to
identify the main causes of this behavior. This led to working Gen9+ support in
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-21-10#GPU - Sculpt OS release 21.10].
To go into a little more detail, we had to look into workarounds as described by the
[https://01.org/sites/default/files/documentation/intel-gfx-prm-osrc-skl-vol16-workarounds_0.pdf - Intel documentation]
and the Linux kernel driver, and determine known workarounds that only apply
to Gen9 and above. After many iterations, we found one workaround that fixed
our GPU hang issue and now apply it during GPU initialization. Additionally,
we found the hardware context sizes (a memory region where the GPU stores its
state) vary between GPU generations, where Gen9 requires more space than Gen8.
Additionally, we found that some features like tiling or client mappings
through the global-graphics translation table are not required by our updated
Mesa 21.0.0 Iris Gallium driver. Since these resources are global and were
split between multiple GPU client applications, not using them lifts the
limits formerly imposed by the partitioning.
For the Sculpt integration, we added GPU-service support and are providing
various packages. A summary on how to test GPU acceleration on Sculpt can be
found at the following Genodians article.
:Test driving Sculpt's 3D support:
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2021-10-25-glmark2]
Vivante GPUs (i.MX8)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the previous release, we already foresaw adding support for Vivante
GPUs as found in i.MX8 SoCs by show-casing a work-in-progress driver
component based on the Linux 'etnaviv' DRM driver and using the also ported
'etnaviv' Gallium driver.
This driver component is now available in an updated fashion in the
[https://github.com/skalk/genode-imx - genode-imx] repository that
encapsulates support for the family of i.MX8 SoCs for Genode. In contrast to
our first prototype, the driver now relies completely on the new DDE Linux
approach and re-uses the existing 'lx_emul' and 'lx_kit' libraries. At the
moment, the driver does not make use of a C-API to Genode services for
accessing the GPU service like the other new DDE Linux drivers do but
implements the session directly. We decided against prematurely introducing
such an C-API while the GPU session itself is still in flux.
[image glmark_mnt_reform]
Glmark running via the ported Vivante GPU driver on the MNT Reform laptop
Briefly touching on the current implementation of the driver, we had to extend
the 'lx_kit' API slightly to implement the buffer-object allocation. Also, we
added a special-purpose interface called 'lx_drm' that comprises all Linux DRM
I/O controls that need to be performed for implementing the GPU session and
itself is a simple layer on top of 'drm_ioctl'.
The 'lx_drm' functions are executed within the context of an emulated Linux
kernel thread executed under a cooperative user-level scheduling scheme.
However, since the GPU session is based on synchronous RPCs and we do not know
in advance if a call into the ported driver code blocks at some point, we had
to ensure the RPC returns not before the operation completed. The completion
of operations may include several blocking states and concurrent event
handling (e.g., hardware interrupts).
For the time being, the driver component is still being worked on. We are, for
example, investigating overall performance regressions. Nevertheless, the
driver is functionally complete and currently supports one client at a time.
In addition to the driver component, we cleaned up the existing 'etnaviv'
libdrm back end and created a Sculpt pkg called *mesa_gpu-etnaviv* analogous
to the pkgs for 'iris' and 'softpipe' back ends. The most visible change is
the switch from the ad-hoc DRM session to the GPU session.
All in all, we are now at a stage were we can work on optimizing the graphics
stack on the Vivante GPU and are in particular looking forward to porting the
next Linux driver. After all, by doing so, we can flesh out and maybe
generalize the 'lx_drm' API so that for other drivers the porting effort gets
reduced even further.
VirtIO input and framebuffer drivers
====================================
_This section was co-authored by Piotr Tworek who created the_
_VirtIO driver support. Thanks Piotr for the welcome contribution!_
Over the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#VirtIO_block_devices_for_virtual_machines_on_ARM - previous]
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#RAM_framebuffer_driver_for_Qemu - releases]
of Genode this year, the framework received steadily improved driver support
for virtual devices as supported by Qemu. The primary motivation behind this
line of work is the use of virtual hardware as an experimentation ground for
Genode on the AARCH64 and RISC-V architectures. The use of virtual hardware
nicely side-steps the costs and (un-)availability of suitable devices, and
avoids the extra effort that is usually involved when working with real
hardware. The current release further advances the virtual-device support by
the introduction of VirtIO input and graphics drivers.
VirtIO input
------------
The new input driver can service Qemu VirtIO mouse, keyboard, and tablet
devices. The implementation is based on the VirtIO 1.1 device specification,
Section 5.8 "Input Device". The driver can service three separate device
types, namely mouse, keyboard, and tablet. The main difference between mouse
and tablet devices is that the former produces relative events whereas the
latter produces absolute motion events.
By default, the driver tries to attach to the first VirtIO input device of any
of the listed types. Such behavior would pose a bit of a problem since in
Genode, we'd like to know that a specific instance of the driver will attach
only to a mouse for example. This way, we can define proper policies for it.
To allow such behavior, the VirtIO input driver has one configuration key
called 'match_product', which accepts the values of "mouse", "keyboard",
"tablet", and "any" (default). Using this config key, one can accomplish
exactly what is needed to tell the driver to only attach to a VirtIO input
device if it's of "match_product" type.
VirtIO framebuffer
------------------
The new VirtIO framebuffer driver implements the necessary bits to provide 2D
framebuffer support on top of a VirtIO GPU device as provided by Qemu. Compared
to the ramfb driver, which was introduced in Genode
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#RAM_framebuffer_driver_for_Qemu - 21.08],
the VirtIO framebuffer driver has one major benefit: It allows the Qemu window
to be dynamically resized at runtime. The driver will treat this as resolution
change and act accordingly. In contrast to the VirtIO input driver, the
framebuffer driver does not support any extra config options.
Practical use
-------------
Thanks to the new drivers, the drivers_interactive package for the 'virt_qemu'
board has become fully interactively usable. The drivers subsystem spawns two
instances of virtio_input. One attaches to a keyboard device and the second to
a mouse. This is what the default virt_qemu board exposes. At this time, the
tablet device is not instantiated by default but it might become useful in the
future for testing Genode's touch support.
Make sure that Qemu exposes those new devices in the modern VirtIO 1.0 mode.
Versions up to Qemu 5.1.0 still use pre-1.0 mode in the default setup.
One thing to keep in mind is that the VirtIO framebuffer driver will change
the resolution of the virtual display whenever the Qemu window is resized.
This means that for high resolution screens, one might have to tweak the
default RAM quota for the driver. The default should be enough for 1080p
screens, but not much more than that.
Linux device-driver environment
===============================
While working on Linux device-driver ports that use the new DDE Linux
environment introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - release 21.08],
we stumbled across some inaccuracies and missing pieces of the former
implementation.
For instance, kworker threads were blocked unconditionally before. But the
original Linux kernel semantics includes corner-cases that delay kworker
suspension. By adding them, we circumvent potential deadlocks. The cache
maintenance operations got optimized by checking the read/write direction of
the device with regard to DMA memory more accurately. Moreover, we had to
learn that on ARM the minimal alignment for all allocations within Linux have
to be of cache-line granularity.
Feature-wise, a new API got introduced to access the pin-control service and
IRQ sessions offered by it. This is useful when a Linux driver directly
depends on GPIO settings respectively uses GPIO pins as interrupt source.
Libraries and Applications
##########################
Feature completion of VirtualBox 6
==================================
With [https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-21-10 - Sculpt OS 21.10],
we released VirtualBox version 6 as experimental alternative to the existing
port of version 5. We also switched to version 6 as daily driver on our
development machines at Genode Labs. These steps yielded the following
improvements during the past Genode release cycle.
The integration features shared folders, shared clipboard, and guest
mouse-pointer shape were fully enabled. Most guest-integration modules in
VirtualBox are implemented as shared libraries/objects, which are loaded at
runtime on demand. Following our goal to keep changes to the upstream code
minimal, our version of VirtualBox 6 now provides VBoxSharedClipboard and
VBoxSharedFolders as dedicated libraries that must be integrated into the
system as follows. Note, the libraries are accessed by the VirtualBox code as
files before loading but must also be available as ROMs to our runtime dynamic
linker.
! <start name="virtualbox6">
! <config vbox_file="machine.vbox6">
! <vfs>
! <!-- original file names of shared objects -->
! <rom name="VBoxSharedClipboard.so"/>
! <rom name="VBoxSharedFolders.so"/>
! </vfs>
! </config>
! <route>
! <!-- map file names to Genode shared-object naming scheme -->
! <service name="ROM" label="VBoxSharedClipboard.so">
! <parent label="virtualbox6-sharedclipboard.lib.so"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="VBoxSharedFolders.so">
! <parent label="virtualbox6-sharedfolders.lib.so"/> </service>
! </route>
! </start>
As depicted in the configuration snippet above, we use the file extension
_.vbox6_ for VirtualBox 6 configuration files. The background is that there
are some subtle incompatibilities in VirtualBox 6 with settings we used in
version 5. For example, the version of the configuration file must be set to
1.18+ for maximum compatibility of virtual-device configuration and guest
operating systems. An example configuration is provided by the pkg/vbox6 depot
archive and specifies the version like follows.
! <VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.virtualbox.org/" version="1.18-genode">
Unlike VirtualBox 5, the current version does not implement a custom Audio
back end for Genode but uses the existing OSS back end of the original
implementation. The feature can be enabled in .vbox and runtime configuration.
We recommend using the HDA controller.
! <AudioAdapter controller="HDA" driver="OSS" enabled="true" enabledOut="true" enabledIn="false"/>
! <start name="virtualbox6">
! <config>
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev"> <oss name="dsp"/> </dir>
! <vfs>
! </config>
! </start>
More device-related improvements are the reporting of mouse-wheel events, the
support of up to 8 pass-through USB devices via the virtual XHCI USB3
controller, and a ready-to-use Sculpt package to capture webcam streams in the
VM (genodelabs/pkg/vbox6-capture).
Finally, this release includes a whole lot of stability improvements to bring
VirtualBox 6 on par with version 5 in daily use like robust machine state
handling including the FPU, fixed corner cases in the AHCI model and
Startup-IPI implementation as well as enhanced timeout and CPU wakeup
handling.
Sculpt OS for 64-bit ARM in addition to x86
===========================================
Up until now, the Genode-based [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS]
was primarily targeted at the 64-bit x86 architecture. However, since the
hardware support of 64-bit ARM platforms like i.MX8 has reached almost feature
parity with the PC platform, it was time to introduce the notion of CPU
architectures to package index files.
In Sculpt OS, software packages are provided in a federated way from any
number of package providers. Each provider offers a so-called _index_ that
enlists the available package versions blessed for a specific Sculpt OS
release. See the release notes for Genode
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.02#Announcing_software_packages - 19.02]
for more details.
Starting with [https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-21.10 - Sculpt OS 21.10]
released in October, each index file features a declaration of the CPU
architectures supported by the package provider.
! <index>
! <supports arch="x86_64"/>
! <supports arch="arm_v8a"/>
! ...
Sculpt uses this information to decide whether to display the index or not by
comparing the architecture of the running machine with these declarations.
Individual entries of an index file can be tagged as being specific for one
architecture.
! <pkg path="mesa_gpu-intel" info="Intel GPU driver (IRIS)" arch="x86_64"/>
This annotation can also be specified for a sub index.
! <index name="Virtual machines" arch="x86_64">
! ...
! </index>
Thanks to this approach, most packages - which are architecture-agnostic - can
be offered for both x64_64 and arm_v8a with almost no manual work. In fact,
starting with Sculpt 21.10, all default packages offered by Genode Labs are
available for both architectures.
Audio and OpenGL support for libSDL2
====================================
With this release, we extend the features of our SDL2 port by enabling audio
support via the OSS back end and added basic support for using OpenGL.
Re-using the existing OSS back end via our VFS OSS plugin is in contrast to
how we enabled audio in our SDL1 port where we use Genode's audio-out
session directly. Instead of having to add a Genode specific back end to each
ported software, it is more reasonable to have just one implementation of a
somewhat common interface for which the back end already exists.
The OpenGL support, on the other hand, has not been thoroughly tested yet
but works well enough for one or the other game. It still suffers from the
same limitation as the normal video back end where resizing the window during
runtime is not supported. This feature is yet to be implemented.
Additionally, we made SDL2 now to use its existing pthread back ends,
rather than using the generic fallback ones, as we deem the current pthread
support in Genode sufficient.
SSH terminal moved to Genode world repository
=============================================
The SSH terminal component now resides in the world repository. When we
initially introduced this component, it complemented the existing TCP
terminal. Rather than using plain TCP to access a terminal server the
connection is secured by the SSH protocol.
In the meantime the component itself incorporated more and more features
that were not anticipated in the initial design. Since we have not used
the component much ourselves lately, albeit some features are tested in our
nightly CI, we decided to move it to the world repository.
On a different note, the component now features new support for SFTP that
enables one to access a Genode file system via SSH. Thanks to Tomasz Gajewski
for this welcome contribution.
Build system and tools
######################
Moving the platform-specific board support into extra repositories made it
necessary to review the run tool with respect to virtualized platforms. For
running Genode within Qemu, the run tool used to assemble the Qemu command
line depending on the target board. In order to achieve a clean cut between
the main repository hosting this part of the run tool and the
platform-specific repositories, we came up with a way to specify the Qemu
arguments outside the main repository.
The solution follows along our approach of how we already specify the
architecture and link address of a target board in distinct files within a
board-property directory _board/<board_name>/_. Similarly, the board-specific
Qemu arguments are now provided in a _board/<board_name>/qemu_args_ file. This
file may contain one or multiple lines that will be appended to the command
line generated by the run tool. Because it is required by virt_qemu, it is
possible to restrict particular arguments to a certain spec, e.g. arm_v8a, by
prefixing the line with 'arm_v8a:'. Note, that any '-m *' argument, which
specifies the amount of RAM, provided within a _qemu_args_ file will override
any memory setting provided in the run scripts.
Moreover, the _qemu_args_ file is obliged with instantiating a network
controller since this is also specific to the platform. For the zynq_qemu
board, e.g., this is achieved by the following arguments:
! -net nic,model=cadence_gem,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0
Always instantiating a network device removes the need to call
'append_qemu_nic_args' in the run scripts. However, you can still use this
function to add forwarding rules to the netdev with id _net0_.

Review of 2019
Review of 2021
##############
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.
Genode's year 2021 was defined by three extremely challenging lines of work.
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.
First, we conquered the territory of GPU support that was ridden with
uncertainties and seemed almost impenetrable when we started. But at the end
of the year, our custom Intel-GPU multiplexer has landed in Sculpt OS like it
always belonged there. In tandem with the Intel-GPU work, we explored the
Vivante GPU as a representative of an ARM platform. The work required a deep
dive into the respective GPU architectures and the Mesa software stack. It
eventually led us to the design of Genode's device-agnostic GPU interfaces.
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 second line of work was concerned with the reuse of Linux drivers as
Genode components. Over the year, the puzzle pieces of our new Linux
device-driver environment come together, replacing former confusion and chaos
with knowledge and order, ultimately uncovering the treasure of Linux drivers
for Genode with very little friction. On the way, we created new methodology
and tooling, as well as extensive documentation in the form of the "Genode
Platforms" document. Thanks to the new drivers ported from the Linux kernel,
we were able to witness interactive Genode scenarios becoming alive on the
Pinephone by the end of the year.
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.
The third major topic was the growing sophistication of Genode-native
workloads, with the media features of the Chromium-based browser on 64-bit ARM
being the most impressive example. Apart from the apparent functional benefits
for Genode and Sculpt OS, this is the long outstanding validation of some bold
design decisions we took years ago, in particular the role and architecture of
the VFS and its interplay with the libc.
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.
When reviewing the road map for 2021, some items remained uncovered. In
particular the seL4-related topics became stale. At the end of 2020 - when we
assembled the road map for the past year - there was a tangible prospect of
pursuing this topic as funded work. However, those plans were repeatedly
deferred and remained uncertain. Also, there are some items that have seen
healthy doses of progress - like the topics related to Ada/SPARK or Goa - but
received less attention than anticipated. On the other hand, the four releases
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02 - 21.02],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.05 - 21.05],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08 - 21.08],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.11 - 21.11])
of 2021 covered quite a few topics not advertised at the road
map, e.g., webcam support, Xilinx Zynq, or RISC-V.
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.
It is fair to say that the level of technical risks we took in 2021 had been
unprecedented in Genode's development history. We are more than proud of the
outcome, which will hopefully propel Genode to new heights in 2022.
2020 - Dwarfing the barrier of entry
####################################
2022 - Mobile Usability
#######################
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.
After having enabled the first interactive Genode scenarios on the Pinephone
last year, we plan to take Genode on the Pinephone to a level where we can
routinely use it for advanced applications, in particular video chat. This
vision confronts us with a multitude of hard technical nuts to crack such as
power efficiency, UI latency, quality-of-service of audio processing, drivers
for multi-media devices, WebRTC performance, and usability. This grand theme
will not only address the Pinephone specifically. The efficiency gains will
benefit all Genode use cases large and small.
:User friendliness of Sculpt OS:
Our theme of the Genode-based video chat on the Pinephone fuels several
ambitions in closely related areas. In particular, we aspire using WireGuard
to secure private communication, and experiment with the operation of
hardware-based trust anchors as the basis for encrypted storage and
communication.
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.
:Perception of high quality:
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.
Besides the Pinephone, we will steadily nurture the quality and scope of
driver support on PC hardware, which remains the primary platform for the
day-to-day use of Sculpt OS. So you can expect us to keep up with recent
generations of Intel-based hardware. In this area, we plan to make IOMMU
support available with kernels beyond NOVA, and explore the use of
power-management features like suspend-resume with Sculpt OS.
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.
