60d009e6c6 nitpicker: notify clients on any panorama change
Nitpicker used to notify GUI clients about an updated GUI info only when
the total panorama size changed. However, in situations where two
capture clients are swapped, the total size may stay the same whereas
the relation of displays to different parts of the panorama is no longer the
same. Such changes are interesting to some clients like the window layouter,
which needs to update the assignement of screens to displays.

This patch changes nitpicker so that each panorama change is reflected
to GUI clients as a mode-info update.

0749f8cbdf wm: free content view IDs if decorator disappears
This patch fixes the following error message printed by the wm upon the
restart of a decorator.

  Error: freeing non-empty slab block"
  Error: ID space not empty at destruction time

Fortunately, the error is not critical as the backing store is released
along with the session.

1ddbb3444c sculpt/nitpicker: use label for matching decorator
The 'label_suffix=" -> decorator"' rule is weaker than the
more generic 'label_prefix="runtime -> wm"' rule, to the effect that the
decorator is assigned to the "desktop" domain instead of the "decorator"
domain. Replace the 'label_prefix' by the decorator's concrete label
to resolve this ambiguity.

3067a2c51d nitpicker: prevent the pointer from going nowhere
The 'size_changed' handling remained without effect when the (last)
display re-appears (e.g., back from screen blank) because
'Capture_root::bounding_box()' delivered the '_fallback_bounding_box'
in the intermediate phase where no display was present. Unfortunately,
'Capture_root::visible()' failed to apply the same logic. This patch
makes 'visible()' consistent with 'bounding_box()'. It has the
welcome effect that nitpicker remembers the pointer position during
the dark phase.

1d73cf2003 Prevent false warnings in memcpy (GCC 12)
GCC 12 tree-loop-distribute-patterns generates false warnings of
-Warray-bounds, -Wstringop-overflow, or -Wstringop-overread in memcpy()
and memcpy_cpu() in static/inline cases for code that obviously prevents
its execution by invariant checking. On -O3, even more warnings are
produced.

010847b69c decorator: fix sync-handling corner case
This patch fixes the corner case where a call of 'trigger_gui_sync'
unexpectedly did not result in the execution of '_handle_gui_sync'.
When sporadically called (w/o having installed a period sync handler)
in a time window shortly after a previous '_handle_gui_sync' that just
switched back to sporadic mode, the situation was considered as !idle.
So the 'local_submit' was skipped.

The patch fixes the issue by always issuing a 'local_submit' except when
operating in period mode. The '_gui_sync_enabled' state is now driven
only by '_handle_gui_sync' to make the intent more clear.

Our new U-BOOT for the imx8mp_iot_gate complains about the size
of the device tree being zero bytes. This is because it no longer
provides the kernel boot arguments via ATAGS, but passes them via
by injecting them in the flattened device tree..

b529b1eac6 qemu-usb: prevent assertion by eager URB processing
Instead of directly process URBs whenever a USBPacket arrives from
the Qemu ported XHCI layer, send a local signal to the I/O handler,
which will process the requests after leaving certain sensible
code pathes like usb_packet_complete. Otherwise, it might happen
that a packet, which was still marked as being queued gets already
completed, which leads to an assertion and hang of the library.

b05b7f17f3 sculpt_manager: bump editor default quota for large fonts and 4k
When trying to open a file in the Files view with font size set to
Large on 4k screens, the editor's / `text_area`'s `view` child fails to
bump its RAM quota when the editor's default quota is too small.

To mitigate the issue, bump the editor's default quota to 80MiB.
The long-term fix would be for the editor to request more RAM from the
runtime to satisfy the `view` RAM request.

052dd903a4 base-hw: rm C++ exception from syscall dispatcher
This patch removes the only residual C++ exception from the kernel part
of core, eliminating the risk of the kernel thread trying to enter the
kernel itself via the C++ exception-handling path. When throwing an
exception, __cxa_allocate_exception invokes the cxx_heap, which
synchronizes accesses via a Genode::Mutex. In the contention case,
the blocking of the mutex issues a syscall to pause the caller.
The patch fixes the problem by replacing the exception with a return
value.

Large deployments (e.g., using the Falkon browser) can significantly
inflate the RAM quota of depot_rom. When switching the Sculpt storage
target (using the "Use" buttons), depot_rom is restarted. Right now,
however, it retains its (inflated) quota. It is better to reset the
quota to its initial value to free up RAM that thereby becomes usable
for a different deployment. Otherwise, the depot_rom's resources can be
deflated only by rebooting.

324245d029 sculpt: restrict un-merging of fb connectors
In setups with 3 or more displays, allow the un-merging of connectors
only for the last mirrored connector. Otherwise, the operation would
implicitely change the order of connectors because the new discrete
connector needs appear after all merged connectors.

2d3170124d phone_manager: ignore AP list hovered temporarily
The access-point-list hovered state prevents preseting the available
scan results, which currently can happen unintentionally. This commit
hot-wires the hover handling and thus will always show and update the
list.  New scan results are received every few seconds and it could
happen that the list changes while the user selects a network (that's
what the original implementation guards against).

baedd79f62 sculpt_manager: fb unplug, sanitize conn. model
This patch explicitly handles the unplugging of displays, avoiding the
use of stale connectors for defining the panorama. It also makes the
import of the connectors model robust against intermediate states
reported by the driver (a connector reported as connector but without
any mode), and discards the use of any information of non-present
connectors as merge info.

732f310b26 menu_view: update dialog when min w/h changes
The minimum width/height of a dialog is not specified in the dialog ROM
but in the menu_view configuration. So the regular dialog-ROM update
handling fails to captures dynamic changes of the minimum w/h. In
Sculpt, the panel would not always adjust immediately to a new screen
size.

This patch triggers a dialog update when detecting such configuration
changes (min w/h, opaqueness, background color).

01c96cf537 sculpt: generate panorama config
If the fb driver is configured to use discrete displays, sculpt now
automatically generates a panorama configuration for nitpicker that
shows all displays side by side. The effective nitpicker config is
now located at config/managed/nitpicker.

The automatism takes effect only when nitpicker's <capture> node
in config/nitpicker is empty. Hence, the managed panorama can be
overridden by a manually managed panorama.

8c43f8aa33 sculpt_manager: interactive framebuffer settings
This patch add a configuration dialog in the intel_fb node of the
component graph. The dialog displays a list of present displays labeled
after their respecive connectors. A mode can be selected for each
connector when clicking on the connector entry.

In-between the entries there are two buttons. The connect button is
toggle that defines whether the two adjacent entries are mirrored.
It is enabled by default so that all new connectors participate in
the mirroring. By untoggling the last enabled connect button, the
entry below the button becomes a discrete (non-mirrored) display.

A swap button allows for changing the order of the list, which has
to effects. First, the resolution of the very first entry defines
the size for mirrored display. So be changing the order of mirrored
displays, one can pick the preferred screen size. Second, the order
of discrete displays defines the layout of the panorama from left to
right. (the panorama config is not part of this commit though)

Note that there is currently no safety net against locking oneself
out of all displays. E.g., one can make Sculpt unusable by manually
disabling each display, or by selecting modes not properly handled by
the connected monitor. In the future, we may add a confirm button with
a timeout to roll back such unfortunate settings.

fa267ecbb3 vbox6: robust tracking of mouse events in VMMDev
In VirtualBox 7 and recent 6.1 versions, the VMMDev is used to report
all mouse events if guest additions are used. Therefore, the
implementation aggregates these events, notifies the guest. and passes
the state on guest request. Unfortunately, the protocol does not support
to report consecutive button press and release events that may happen
between two guest requests, which results in events getting lost.

This commit patches the contrib sources to track pending mouse-button
events and notifies the guest if further state changes are pending after
updates are delivered.

Also, mouse-wheel events (dw, dz) are now accumulated between two guest
updates.

3ab9173b20 gui_session: window-closed state as attribute
With the change of "gui_session: provide mode info as XML", the
client-side window-close handling became dysfunct because the
window-close state got wrongly interpreted as initial window state, to
the effect that a client's initial-window size policy got applied
instead of closing the window.

This patch makes the inital state of running a windowed application
(when no window size is defined yet) clearly distiguishable from the
state after which the user closed the window. Prior this patch, both
conditions were reflected by an empty <capture/> node in the panorama.
Now, the latter condition is reported as <capture closed="yes"/>, which
alleviates the need to track the life cycle of a window at the client
size.

2d7cd1c736 nitpicker: fix stale pixels on view removal
Sometimes when removing the popup window in Sculpt's Leitzentrale, a few
residual pixels remained. This is caused by the too strict coupling of
drawing and sync handling, effectively executing the fb-sync handler
repeatedly via 'Main::mark_as_damaged' during 'refresh_view' calls.
This tight coupling has two unwelcome effects. First, the sync handling
is executed more often than needed. Second, the sync handling (and fb
flushing) happens at intermediate states when view-stack changes are
applied (like changing a view geometry).

This patch uses a local signal handler to defer the execution of the
sync code until all drawing has finished.

lead to a diagnostic warning. Since disconnecting is handled by
removing the existent '<network>' there is no reason to generate
an invalid node in the first place.

4a6c506f37 nitpicker: deliver press events to global key receiver
Fixes the following misbehavior: If a global key is pressed (e.g., Caps
Lock in Sculpt) and the mouse is clicked before release, the global-keys
handler receives the global-key press but no further events of the
sequence, especially *no Caps-Lock release*.

A more reasonable fix may address the "else branch" that deletes the
_input_receiver in case of mouse events without a hovered client too,
which is beyond the narrow scope of this fix.

ca47280ce9 wm/layouter: pointer grabbing/ungrabbing
This patch implements the following policy for applications requesting
exclusive input (relative motion): The pointer is grabbed as soon as the
user clicks inside the application window. It is forcibly ungrabbed on
any window-focus change or when tapping the KEY_SCREEN. An application
can always enable (transient) exclusive input during a key sequence,
e.g., when dragging the mouse while holding the mouse button. Transient
exclusive input is revoked when releasing the last button/key.

f324aa902b nitpicker: configurable capture policies
Capture clients used to always capture the view stack at the origin of
the coordinate system. So each capture client obtained a mirror of the
same picture. This patch allows for the placement of capture clients on
larger panorama using Genode's usual label-based policy-selection
approach. Thereby, each monitor in multi-monitor scenario can display a
different portion of the panorama.

The patch takes special care to always keep the pointer in a visible
position. The pointer cannot be moved to any area that is not captured.
Should the only capture client displaying the pointer disappear, the
pointer is warped to the center of (any) remaining capture client.

8082aa980e framebuffer_session: atomic blitting and panning
By enhancing the Framebuffer::Session interface by the new RPC functions
'blit' and 'panning', GUI clients become able to attain tearing-free
output. Two modes of operations are supported.

1. Atomic back-to-front blitting

   GUI clients that partially update their user interface like regular
   application dialogs, can now implement double buffering by placing
   both the back buffer and front buffer within the GUI session's
   framebuffer and configuring a view that shows only the front buffer.
   The 'blit' operation allows the client to atomically flush pixels
   from the back buffer to the front buffer.

2. Atomic buffer flipping

   GUI clients that always update all pixels like a media player or
   a game can now use the 'panning' feature to atomically redirect the
   displayed pixels to a different portion of the GUI session's virtual
   frame buffer. The virtual framebuffer always contains two frames,
   the displayed one and the next one. Once the next frame is complete,
   the client changes the panning position to the portion containing
   the next frame.

fc4b026b62 nitpicker: remove periodic mode of operation
Unless nitpicker is used in 'request_framebuffer' mode, it no longer
depends on a periodic timer but merely acts as a broker between capture
clients and GUI clients. Sync signals as delivered to GUI clients are
now wired to Capture::Session::capture_at calls. So the display driver
defines the occurrence of those signals.

Note that sync signals are only delivered while a driver actively calls
'capture_at'. If a driver stops capturing, GUI clients no longer receive
any sync signal. This is a change from the previous situation where GUI
clients could depend on the periodicity of sync signals.

09461c51bd capture_session: capture stop/wakeup protocol
With this change, a client (i.e., display driver) can register
a wakeup signal handler to be notified on the arrival of new data to
capture. The signal is delivered only when the client has stopped
capturing. The client propagates this condition to the server using
the new 'capture_stopped' RPC call.

This change in principle enables a display driver to suspend its
periodic mode of operation after a few frames without capturing any
new data. As the first driver, the fb_sdl driver has been adapted to
the new protocol. This change not only eliminates the driver's CPU
load when idle, it also reduces the latency of sporadic output
because the response to such GUI updates is no longer bound by a
fixed periodic interval.

2d3c2fc258 fb_sdl: move SDL event loop to dedicated thread
This patch is a preparatory step for relaxing the strictly periodic
operation of fb_sdl. With the new design, the SDL event loop can block
for events while Genode's main entrypoint stays receptive for I/O.
The main entrypoint can interact with the SDL thread by injecting
SDL user events.

The patch also replaces the full-screen clearing and update of the
SDL window by an update of the captured bounding box only. This reduces
the CPU load of fb_sdl when idle. When updating a small part of the
screen (e.g., when moving the mouse only), the load is still rather
heavy though.

d4e4b8bf60 driver/wifi: rework CTRL interface manager
This commit streamlines the interaction between the Wifi::Manager
and the wpa_supplicant's CTRL interface.

As user-facing changes it alters some default settings and introduces
new features:

* Every configured network now needs to explicitly have its
  'auto_connect' (to be considered an option for joining) attribute
  set to 'true' whereas this was previously the default value if the
  attribute was not set at all.

* The 'log_level' attribute is added and configures the supplicant's
  verbosity. Valid values correspond to levels used by the supplicant
  and are as follows 'excessive', 'msgdump', 'debug', 'info', 'warning'
  and 'error'. The default value is 'error' and configures the least
  amount of verbosity.

* The 'bgscan' attribute may be used to configure the way the
  supplicant performs background-scanning to steer or rather optimize
  roaming decision within the same network. The default value is set
  to 'simple:30:-70:600'. It can be disabled by specifying an empty
  value, e.g. 'bgscan=""'.

* The 'verbose_state' attribute was removed alltogether and similar
  functionality is now coverted by 'verbose' attribute.

Implementation-wise the internals changed significantly and are
outlined in the following paragraphs.

Formerly the interaction between the manager and the supplicant
was handled in an apparent way where the internal state of each
interaction was in plain sight. This made the flow cumbersome to
follow and therefor each interaction is now confined to its own
'Action' object that encapsulates the ping-pong of commands and
responses between the manager and the supplicant. All actions are
processed in an sequential way and thus there is no longer any
need to defer pending actions depending on the interal state of
the current interaction. Configuration changes as well as events
issued by the supplicant where new actions can be created are
handled in this fashion. Of note are both signal-handlers,
'_handle_cmds' and '_handle_events' respectively.

The state report, which provides the information about the current
state of connectivity to a given wireless network, was dealt with
in the same vein and its handling was spread across the manager
implementation. Again, to make it easier to follow, the generation
of the state report is now purely driven by the 'Join_state' object.
This object encapsulates the state of connectivity and is normally
updated by events issued from the supplicant (see '_handle_events').
It is also incorporated when handling command responses (see
'_handle_cmds').

Handling of timed-actions, like scan and signal quality
update requests, was done by setting a timeout at the Timer session
directly and thus only one timed-action could be pending at any time.
This excluded dealing with timed-actions like connected-scanning
and signal quality polling concurrently. This was changed and now
a One_shot_timeout is used to programm each concurrent timed-action.

For implementing the communication channel for the CTRL interface the
manager and supplicant use a shared memory buffer, the Msg_buffer.
Since the CTRL interface for Genode was implemented using C, some
shenanigans were performed to access the memory buffer. Now the
CTRL interface implementation uses C++ and only exports the functions
required by the supplicant as C. This simplifies the usage of the
Msg_buffer and allows for removing the global functions needed for
synchronizing the Msg_buffer access as those are now part of the
object itself via the 'Notify_interface'.

Fixes #5341.

ec50c008bb wm: account session resources
With this patch, the wm accounts RAM and caps consumed on behalf of its
clients to the respective client's session quota instead of paying out
of its own pocket. This should make the wm resilient against resource
exhaustion and lowers the quota requirements.

a9b2d9bdc6 gui_session: adjust session quota for wm scenarios
The current default session RAM quota of 36 KiB reflects the needs of
the nitpicker GUI server. However, in most commonly used scenarios, a
GUI client connects to nitpicker indirectly via the wm. The low value
worked so far because the wm did not account RAM and cap usage per
client so far but paid out of its own pocket and faithfully forwarded
all resource upgrades to nitpicker.

When adding resource accounting to the wm, the old default value has the
effect that a new client has to repeatedly attempt the session creation -
each time offering sligthly more session quota - until both nitpicker and
the wm are satisfied.

By roughly doubling the default to 80 KiB, a wm client immediately
succeeds with opening a GUI session without repeated attempts.
By specifying a custom 'cap_quota' amount to the 'Genode::Connection',
the Gui::Connection now donates enough caps for both the wm and
nitpicker.

034de3b1b1 base/connection.h: allow customized cap-quota arg
By default, a 'Connection' donates an amount of caps as declared in
SESSION_TYPE::CAP_QUOTA to the server at session-creation time.

In some situations, however, a client may deliberately want to donate a
larger amount. For example, when opening a GUI session at the wm, the
total amount of needed caps is the sum of those consumed by the wm plus
those consumed by nitpicker. Using this knowledge, the Gui::Connection
may specify a sufficient amount to avoid iterative session-creation
retries. The new 'Connection' constructor accommodates this use case by
accepting an explicit 'cap_quota' argument.

e8e499ae9e nitpicker: account input and framebuffer caps
This patch deduces the caps needed for the framebuffer and input RPC
objects from the resources accounted locally within the session. It also
takes precautions for the situation where a client offers too little
resources, prompting the mid-way cancelling of the 'Session_component'
creation. With the patch, the 'ep.manage' operations are rolled back
by the corresponding 'ep.dissolve' operations.

dd13a976af wm: alloc real view IDs locally
Don't use client-provided view IDs as IDs for the wrapped nitpicker
views. There is no 1:1 relation of IDs and physical views. So if a wm
client re-uses an ID, the physical view is expected to stay in tact.
If the corresponding view object within the wm is not destroyed, however,
its ID remains allocated, which may then conflict the ID of a new view
if the ID is reused by the client. This scenario resulted in the
following error:

  Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Id_space<Gui::View_ref>::Conflicting_id'

This patch handles the situation by keeping the allocator of physical
views (_real_view) decoupled from the client's ID allocator.

f98c356efd gui_session: manage view ID at the client side
This patch moves the management of view IDs from the server to the
client side. The former 'create_view' and 'create_child_view'
operations do no longer return a view ID but take a view ID as
argument. While changing those operations, this patch takes the
opportunity to allow for initial view attributes. Combined, those
changes simplify the window manager while accommodating typical
client use cases with less code.

To ease the client-side ID management, the Gui::Connection hosts
a 'view_ids' ID space for optional use. E.g., the new 'Top_level_view'
class uses this ID space for ID allocation. This class accommodates the
most typical use case of opening a single window.

The 'alloc_view_id' RPC function is no longer needed.

d02a3d25d0 gui_session: replace Handle_registry by Id_space
This patch reworks the view-ID handling within the nitpicker GUI server
and the window manager. The namespace of view handles are now represented
as an Id_space. In constrast to the former "handles", which could be
invalid, IDs cannot be semantically overloaded with anything other than
an actual view reference. There is no notion of an invalid handle.
IDs are like C++ references (which cannot be a nullptr).

This change requires the code to be more explicit. E.g., the stacking of
a few at the front-most position can no longer be expressed by passing
an invalid handle as neighbor.

83ddc41d63 lighttpd: prevent invalid fdarray access
The fd event handling uses the fd to directly access the array slot and
expects the fds to be contiguous and capped.

Since the returned fds from our libc were much larger than expected,
because the libc itself consumes multiple fds when managing sockets,
using the fd in this manner leads to memory corruption.

This commit limits the maxfds to 63 and always allocates 1024 slots
in the fd-array.

Fixes #5320.

992b412be2 lx_emul: silently drop KEY_FN in evdev
The Fn key on keyboards should never be reported as real scancode event,
as it is just a hardware switch that changes the reported scancodes of
other keys. The behavior of Linux hid-apple.c is wrong as it on one hand
reports different scancodes for the same hard key depending on the Fn
state but sends the Fn press and release events too. Thus from now on,
we just drop KEY_FN events for all drivers as otherwise, scancodes
generated generated by Fn+key combinations would never be single-key
events on upper layers, for example KEY_FN + KEY_F12 on the Matias Apple
keyboard clone in the fixed issue.

d44ec53cd3 core: tie Platform_thread to Platform_pd
This patch tightens the coupling of the 'Platform_thread' objects
with their corresponding 'Platform_pd' objects by specifying the
'Platform_pd' as constructor argument, keeping the relationship
as a reference (instead of a pointer), and constraining the
lifetime of 'Platform_pd' objects to the lifetime of the PD.

It thereby clears the way to simplify the thread creation since all
PD-related information (like quota budgets) are now known at the
construction time of the 'Platform_thread'.

The return value of 'Platform_thread::start' has been removed because it
is not evaluated by 'Cpu_thread_component'.

7d576b4f15 nic_router: re-use ARP waiters for same IP address
For each packet that got stuck with an ARP-cache miss, the router used to send
one ARP request and create one ARP waiter. However, in situations where many
packets target the same IP at one destination domain and during a short period
of time, this causes unnecessary session-quota consumption and network traffic.
This issue becomes especially pressing when taking malicious source peers,
absent destination peers, and packet batching into account.

Therefore, with this commit, the router can accumulate multiple source packets
with the same destination IP at one ARP waiter. This means, that only the first
packet with an ARP-cache for a certain IP sends an ARP request and creates an
ARP waiter. For situations where the ARP request is not answered, this
essentially rate-limits ARP requests for one IP at one destination domain
according to the lifetime of ARP waiters (default: 10s)

31a438edf6 nic_router: prevent ARP request without ARP waiter
The router used to send an ARP request for a packet before allocating the

resource exhaustion plus emergency free failed, the packet got dropped and the
router had produced unnecessary network traffic. The commit fixes this by
sending only after successful allocation.

682dedb2e1 nic_router: lower packet-batch count to 50
The previous default packet-batch count of 150 (<config
max_packets_per_signal>) was choosen with the only goal of preventing
starvation by huge amounts of packets from one session.

However, there is something else to keep in mind. A packet that is found to
require ARP sends an ARP request and becomes blocked after having consumed
resources. This means, that, in the worst case, the router used to send 150 ARP
requests and consume resources 150 times before making it even possible for the
outer world to react and cause resources to be freed.

With this additional scenario in mind, the default batch size should be
significantly lower.

This patch replaces exceptions of the PD session RPC interface with

The change of the quota-transfer RPC functions required the adaptation
of base/quota_transfer.h and base/child.h.
The 'alloc_signal_source' method has been renamed to 'signal_source'
to avoid an exceedingly long name of the corresponding result type.
The Pd_session::map function takes a 'Virt_range' instead of basic-type
arguments.

a450110b97 run/nic_router_uplinks: use test component
So far, this test used dynamic_rom for the re-configuration of the nic router
and tested for the expected ping results by inspecting the log with the run
tool. However, this approach had two issues:

* Timing differs significantly on different targets and so the dynamic_rom had
  the difficult task of compensating with heuristics without bloating the test
  duration too much.

* In case of a failing test, it was difficult to determine the cause as the
  test kept running and produced output for quite some time and there was also
  no specific error message but only a generic timeout.

These two issues are now fixed by introducing a test component that listens to
the ping-result report and manages the nic router configuration. The new
component exits early on failure and provides information on the error
circumstances. Furthermore, the component advances to the next test step only
after having seen the expected result of the active test step and thereby
removes the need for heuristics about target timing.

84bbde2879 nic_router: fix interface-local quota reporting
The router used to ignore the value of the <report quota=".."/> attribute when
it came to determining whether an interface's report is empty or not.
Therefore, merely configuring <report quota="yes"/> didn't cause interfaces
(and their quota) to show up in the report. Instead, interface quota was
reported as side effect of <report stats="yes"/>. The commit fixes this
inconsistency with the README.

20371d0445 nic_router: drop closed tcp links immediately
RFCs recommend to keep TCP connections for a certain time even after they
finished a close handshake, AFAIK, in order to be able to recognize astray
packets when they arrive later. This seems overambitious especially when in
the context of the router where session quota is pretty limited. Therefore,
this commit drops this final timeout and drops closed connections immediately.

58726a6707 nic_router: lower non-open tcp timeout to 30 sec
The previous value of 60 seconds was never observed in real-time scenarios and
UDP, for instance always used a timeout of 30 seconds without causing issues.
Note that this applies only to TCP connections in a state other than
ESTABLISHED, i.e., while it is still safe to early-drop the connection.

0a33168733 nic_router: mark tcp open only with full handshake
The TCP connection state "ESTABLISHED" (in the router "OPEN") is a privileged
one for peers because it lasts very long without any peer interaction (in the
NIC router it's only 10 minutes, but RFCs recommend not less than 2 hours and
4 minutes). Furthermore, TCP connections in this state are normally not
available for early-drop on resource exhaustion. This means that this state
binds resources to a connection potentially for a long time without the option
of regaining them under stress. Therefore, this state should be entered with
care.

Up to now, the router marked a TCP connection with this state as soon as it had
seen one matching packet in both directions, which is rather quick. However,
implementing a very precise tracking of the exact TCP states of both peers and
only marking the connection "ESTABLISHED" when both peers are "ESTABLISHED" is
a difficult task with lots of corner cases.

That said, this commit implements a compromise. The router now has two flags
for each peer of a TCP connection - FIN sent and FIN acked - and sets them
according to the observed TCP flags. The "ESTABLISHED" state is entered only
when FIN acked is set for both peers (without having observed an RST or FIN
flag meanwhile).

93c3f6371b nic_router: remove reference utilities
The Reference and Const_reference utility were introduced in order to express
that something is a reference (no null value) but can be changed dynamically
(not possible with built-in C++ references). However, the idea of preventing
every possibility for null pointer faults, with which the router was built
initially, has not prevailed and using pointers instead of the utility saves
logic and makes the code more readable to other C++ developers.

c96150bc70 nic_router: smarter emergency free on exhaustion
Re-implements an emergency freeing of resources on exhaustion of session quota.
In contrast to the past one, the new algorithm is executed directly where the
exhaustion occurs. Instead of interupting the packet handling and restart it
from the beginning after the freeing action, packet handling is now continued
at the point of exhaustion (if enough resources could be freed). Furthermore,
the new algorithm frees only 100 objects (instead of 1024) at a max as we found
this to better match real-life observations. And finally, the router now drops
ICMP first, then UDP, then TCP - as this better reflects priorities - and
refrains from dropping TCP connections in the ESTABLISHED state. If the router
cannot free a sufficient amount of resources, the packet that caused the
exhaustion is dropped with a warning (verbose_packet_drop="yes").

ac42ade48c nic_router: remove use of exception handling
Remove the use of C++ exception as much as possible from the router as C++
exception handling can be resource intensive and can make code hard to
understand.

This also removes the garbage collection that the router used to do when a
session ran out of quota. This is motivated by the fact that the garbage
collection was rather simple and removed connection states regardless of their
current state, thereby causing broken connections. The change is part of this
commit as the approach to integrating garbage collection relied strongly on
exception handling.

The user story behind removing garbage collection: The router emergency-dropped
an established TCP connection (with NAPT) and on the next matching packet
re-created it with a different NAPT port, thereby breaking the connection. With
this commit, existing connections are prioritized over new ones during resource
exhaustion and the packets that attempt to create a new connection in such a
state are dropped with a warning in the log (verbose_packet_drop="yes").

Note that the state resolves itself with time as existing connections time out
or are closed by peers.

This patch turns 'Color' from a class to a POD type by replacing
the constructors by the named create functions 'rgb', 'clamped_rgb',
and 'clamped_rgba'. It thereby enables the initialization of Color
values using { .r = ... } syntax and makes the type usable in const
expressions.

It also narrows the type for color components and alpha values to
uint8_t. So possible integer overflows of computed values are detected
by -Wconversion.

As 'Color::rgb(0, 0, 0)' is repeatedly used as a default value, the
patch adds the 'Color::black()' function.

The test reverts the platform drivers' config at the end of the test

policy (analogyously to the initial state). Otherwise, the platform
session of the test program will (sometimes) become invalid just before

179b3eb7e4 libdrm/iris: make locking more fine grained
When more than one thread are accessing the DRM interface it is not wise
to use global locking, especially when a pthread is executing a batch
buffer and waits for a completion signal in the VFS-plugin. In case the
EP gets stuck in the global lock, no progress is made. Therefore:

* use _drm_mutex only where strictly necessary
* use special _exec_mutex to protect buffer execution (per context)
* print warning when two threads try to execute a buffer in the same
  context

48d6f0220c nova: avoid static smp code reservation
Using a segment to reserve the AP (application processor) code page does not
work if the region overlaps with other non-memory types, e.g. bender checks
for the overlapping and denies to boot on such machines.

Without bender, the system boots up fine. So, partially remove the nova commit
"Add segment to reserve AP startup page" and instead apply the idea of
Cyberus's version. Place the AP boot code later during boot and save and
restore the memory before/after SMP bootstrap.

b83b53d3b2 hw: abstract nested paging on x86
The initial SVM implementation (correctly) just used another standard
x86_64 page table for nested paging. The EPT implementation is for Intel
VMX only. Since we don't know the underlying virtualization technology
at compile time, we need to pick the correct page table implementation
at runtime.

Add add a AMD-compatible HPT page table implementation using the same
base implementation and (more importantly) allocator as the EPT
implementation. Add a Vm_page_table implementation that determines the
used virtualization technology at runtime and internally defers insert
and remove operations to the correct page table implementation.

The run tool overrides the 'exit'-procedure to make sure that a loaded
run_power_off procedure is always executed. However, a failing
run_power_off lead to false-positives: 'make run/...' exited with 0 even
tough the run script was not even executed because of a failed
power-on/off cycle. In this case, if the run_power_off is the exit code
producer, the new exit definition does not finish as intended. As a
result, the first exit code is re-written, and errors are not propagated
accordingly.

The solution is to catch possible errors from power-off within the exit
procedure.

54cf1334e1 Permit shared access to Intel PCH GPIO device
The ported i2c_hid driver contains driver code for the "Intel
Tigerlake/Alderlake PCH pinctrl/GPIO" device. Unfortunately, acpica
driver also accesses the same device on Lid open/close via ACPI AML code
of the DSDT table to read out the state of a GPIO pin connected to the
notebook lid. This would fail as I/O memory is handed out only once and
cannot be shared. The workaround disables the region check for the
specified GPIO I/O memory regions and provides both drivers shared
access to the regions.

This is a preliminary workaround. A general solution should separate the
GPIO driver into a component (e.g., platform driver) that regulates
accesses by i2c_hid and acpica.

5dce61563e pc_intel_fb: configure max framebuffer memory
This commit introduces the means to configure the framebuffer memory
used by the driver for sizing its buffers.

Originally the avail memory was derived from the avail ram in the PD
session, which roughly corresponds to configured RAM quota.
However, since it is only used in a virtual capacity, we can decouple
it from the actual memory and set to a value that accommodates larger
framebuffer resolutions like 3840x2160. If the configured RAM quota
is not enough to satisfy an allocation request the client will issue
a resource request.

edaff9fb96 sculpt: adjust leitzentrale priority
Since "sculpt: adjust nitpicker priority", the nitpicker GUI server no
longer runs at the highest priority, yet the runtime_view of the
leitzentrale UI continued to operate at the highest priority.
On slower machines, this results in a visible interference of the CPU-
heavy rendering of the runtime_view with the (now) lower-prioritized
nitpicker, in particular laggy pointer movements.

This commit subordinates the leitzentrale components below the priority
of nitpicker to prevent this interference.

It also simplifies the priority scheme at the static system init: The
timer has the highest priority whereas all other components use the
priority band -1.

e04336d087 sculpt: driver-policy tweaks
Allow tweaking the driver selection using the manager config:

- The new attribute 'ps2="no"' suppresses the selection of the PS/2 driver.
- The new attribute 'intel_gpu="no"'suppresses the selection of the
  Intel GPU and fb drivers, letting Sculpt fall back to VESA or boot-fb.

Note that the dynamic change of those attributes is handled in principle
but not advisable. E.g., disabling the intel driver after startup leaves
the hardware in a state that the VESA driver cannot cope with. However,
when statically defining the attributes in sculpt/manager/default, it is
now possible to build an image that uses VESA on an intel machine.

1f24eb2401 wm: avoid eager reuse of window IDs
The existing allocation scheme of window IDs has the unwelcome effect
that a re-appearing window would not always result in a visible change
of the window list. In such cases, the layouter and decorator would not
be prompted to do their job. This effect could be observered with the
multi-dialog version of menu view in Sculpt OS when manually enforcing
the restart of the runtime_view. Sometimes the panel would not re-appear
after the restart.

This patch changes the allocation of window ID such that new windows get
fresh IDs instead of reusing an ID of a recently disappeared window.

550dea7279 menu_view: support multiple dialogs
This patch equips the menu-view component with the ability to present
more than one dialog at a time. The dialogs must be declared in the
<config> node as follows.

  <config>
    ...
    <dialog name="settings"/>
  </config

For each dialog, menu view requests a dedicated ROM session labeled after
the dialog name. The corresponding GUI session is also labeled as such.
Note that only one hover report is generated responding to all dialogs.
The hover report can be correlated with the hovered dialog by inspecting
the the 'name' attribute of the hover report's <dialog> sub node.

The former global config attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', 'width', 'height',
'opaque', and 'background' have become attributes of the <dialog> node.

4a1a29b3d0 sculpt: make storage target configurable
This patch lays the selection of the used storage target into the hands
of the config/manager file. By default, Sculpt selects the target by its
built-in heuristics, probing for a Sculpt partition. However, by
specifying a <target> node, one can explicitly select a storage target.

E.g., for using the 2nd partition of the SATA disk connected to port 1
of the AHCI controller, one can now specify:

  <target driver="ahci" port="1" partition="2"/>

For selecting the ram_fs as target:

  <target driver="ram_fs"/>

The latter case is particularly useful for custom Sculpt scenarios
deployed entirely from RAM. For such scenarios, add two lines to
your .sculpt file:

  ram_fs:  depot
  manager: use_ram_fs

The first line configures the ram_fs such that the depot is mounted
as a tar archive. The second line configures the sculpt manager to
select the ram_fs as storage target. You can find this feature
exemplified in default-linux.sculpt scenario.

  build/x86_64$ make run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux

It is worth noting that the configuration can be changed at runtime.
This allows for switching between different storage targets on the fly.

206bf856bb sculpt: host AHCI driver in runtime
This patch moves the AHCI driver from the 'drivers -> dynamic'
subsystem to the runtime, managed by the sculpt_manager. One
implication of this change is the new need to supplement a device
port number to the 'Storage_target', in addition to the existing
label and partition. Previously, each block device was addressed by
merely a label specified for a parent session. The meanings of the
'Storage_target' elements are now as follows.

- The label corresponds to the driver component providing the storage.
- The port is used as block-session label when opening the session
  at the driver.
- The partition(s) denote the partition information contained in
  the block session.

Components operating as clients of the AHCI driver (e.g., a file system)
refer to their storage target as <label>-<port>.<partition> when a port
is defined (for AHCI). For drivers w/o ports, like USB storage where
each USB-block driver correponds to only one device, the storage target
is denoted as <label>.<partition>. When no partition table is present,
the '.<partition>' part is omitted.

4a68f6bf75 tresor: discard snapshots only when writing the sb
Snapshots must only be removed when securing the superblock. Otherwise, the
last secured superblock might get corrupted. The Free Tree allocation algorithm
would not consider the deleted snapshots anymore although they are still active
in the secured superblock and re-use their blocks. This would render the tresor
container unusable if the superblock with the deleted snapshots is not secured
in the end (driver crash, power down, ...).

b4c4681733 tresor: streamline design further
* differentiates request types that where merged formerly per module;
  e.g. instead of type Superblock_control::Request, there are now types
  * Superblock_control::Read_vbas
  * Superblock_control::Write_vbas
  * Superblock_control::Rekey
  * Superblock_control::Initialize
  * ...
  each holding only the state and functionality that is required for exactly
  that request

* removes all classes of the Tresor module framework and adapts all
  Tresor- and File-Vault- related libs, apps, and tests accordingly
  * the former "channel" state is merged into the new request types, meaning, a
    request manages no longer only the "call" to a functionality but
    also the execution of that functionality; every request has a lifetime
    equal to the "call" and an execute method to be driven forward
  * state that is used by a request but has a longer lifetime (e.g. VFS file
    handles in Tresor::Crypto) is managed by the top level
    of the user and handed over via the execute arguments; however, the
    synchronization of multiple requests on this state is done by the module
    (e.g. Tresor::Crypto)
  * requests are now driven explicitly as first argument of the (overloaded)
    execute method of their module; the module can, however, stall a request
    by returning false without doing anything (used for synchronization on
    resources)

* introduces Request_helper, Generated_request and Generatable_request in the
  Tresor namespace in order to avoid the redundancy of sub-request generation
  and execution

* moves access to Client-Data pointers up to Tresor::Virtual_block_device in
  order to simplify Tresor::Block_io and Tresor::Crypto

* removes Tresor::Client_data and introduces pure interface
  Client_data_interface in order to remove  Tresor::Client_data and
  move management of Client Data to the top level of a Tresor user

* introduces pure interface Crypto_files_interface in order to move management
  of Crypto files to the top level of a Tresor user

* moves management of Block-IO and Trust-Anchor files to the top level of a
  Tresor user

* adapts all execute methods, so, that they return the progress state
  instead of modifying a reference argument

* removes Tresor::Request_and Tresor:Request and instead implements
  scheduling at the top level of the Tresor user
  * the Tresor Tester uses a list as schedule that holds Command objects; this
    list ensures, that commands are started in the order of configuration
    the Command type is a merge of the state of all possible commands that can
    be configured at the Tresor Tester; the actual Tresor requests (if any) are
    then allocated on-demand only
  * the Tresor VFS plugin does not use a dynamic data structure for scheduling;
    the plugin has 5 members that each reflect a distinct type of operation:
    * initialize operation
    * deinitialize operation
    * data operation
    * extend operation
    * rekey operation
    consequently, of each type, there can be only one operation in-flight at a
    time; at the user front-end each operation (except "initialize") can be
    controlled through a dedicated VFS file; for each of these files, the VFS
    expects only one handle to be open at a time and only one file operation
    (read, write, sync) active at a time; once an operation gets started it is
    finished without preemtion (except of the interleaving at rekey and
    extend); when multiple operations are waiting to be started the plugin
    follows a static priority scheme:

      init op > deinit op > data op > extend op > rekey op

    there are some operation-specific details
    * the initialize operation is started only by the plugin itself on startup
      and will be driven as side effect by subsequent user calls to file
      operations
    * the data file is the only contiguous file in the front end and the file
      operations work as on usual data files
    * the other 3 files are transactional files and the user is expected to
      follow this scheme when operating on them
      1) stat (to determine file size)
      2) seek to offset 0
      3) read entire file once (this will be queued until there is no operation
         of this type pending anymore and return the last result:
         "none" | "failed" | "succeeded"; used primarily for synchronization)
      4) write operation parameters (this returns immediately and marks the
         operation as "requested")
      5) read entire file once (the same as above but this time in order to
         determine the operation result)
    * the rekey op and deinitialize op are requested by writing "true"
    * the extend op is requested by writing "tree=[TREE], blocks=[BLOCKS]"
      where TREE is either "vbd" or "ft" and BLOCKS is the number of physical
      4K blocks by which the physical range of the tresor container expands
      (the physical range always starts at block address 0 and is always
      expanded upwards)

* replaces the former <trust-anchor op="initialize"> command at the Tresor
  Tester with <initialize-trust-achor> as there are no other trust anchor
  operations that can be requested through the Tester config anyway

* removes the "sync" attribute from all commands at the Tresor Tester except
  from <request op="rekey">, <request "extend_ft">, <request op="extend_vbd">;
  as the Tester controls scheduling now, requests are generally synchronous;
  at the rekeying and extension commands, the "sync" attribute determines
  wether subsequent commands are interleaved with the execution of these
  commands (if possible)

* removes "debug" config attribute from Tresor VFS plugin and reworks "verbose"
  attribute to generate more sensible output

* removes NONCOPYABLE macro and instead uses Genode::Noncopyable and in-place
  Constructors deletion

* introduces types Attr and Execute_attr where a constructor or execute method
  have many arguments in order to raise readability

* renames the "hashsum" file that is provided by the Tresor Trust-Anchor VFS
  plugin to "hash" in order to become conformant with the wording in the Tresor
  lib

* makes the VFS Tresor test an automated test by merging in the functionality
  of vfs_tresor_init.run and removing the interactive front end; removes
  vfs_tresor_init.run as it is not needed anymore; adds consideration for
  autopilot file structure in the Test and adds it to autopilot.list

* removes all snapshot controls and the progress files for rekeying and
  extending from the Tresor VFS plugin; both functionalities were tested
  only rudimentary by the VFS Tresor test and are not supported with the only
  real user, the File Vault

* use /* .. */ instead of // ..
* use (..) instead of { .. } in init lists

The virtual block device module used to hand over the wrong VBA as
parameter "rekeying VBA" to the Free Tree when allocating PBAs for data
access during rekeying. In certain constellations, this caused the Free
Tree to alloc PBAs that were still in use. The Free Tree PBA selection
algorithm, however, is just fine. When fixing the call parameter, it works
as desired. This re-enables the async rekeying test.

fb2d153c92 tresor: check hash of all read vba data
During one of the many re-factorization steps that were applied to the Tresor
library and its predecessor, the CBE library, one of the main features of the
project, the integrity check, accidentally received a grave regression. The
most recent version of the Tresor still used to check all hashes of meta-data
blocks but ignored the hashes of the actual data blocks.

With this commit, the hashes of all but yet uninitialized data blocks get
checked. The reason for ignoring uninitialized blocks is that they are not
actually read from disc but simply generated as an all-zeros block in the
driver in order to prevent having to initialize them all to zero in
Tresor-Init. That said, the integrity of these blocks cannot be compomised.
The according hashes in the meta data remain unset until the data block gets
written for the first time.

d8a71e5978 tresor: improved module framework and clean-up
* Make command pool a proper module
  * The command pool used to be kind of a module but it was driven via custom
    tresor-tester specific code. Now, it becomes a proper module that
    is driven by the module framework instead.
  * Move the code for creating and handling the module-execution progress flag
    into Module_composition::execute_modules as the function is always used with
    this code surrounding it.

* Reorganize files, remove deprecated files

* A new class Module_channel is introduced in the module framework and all
  channel classes inherit from it. With that class in place, the formerly
  module-specific implementations of the following methods are replaced by
  new generic implementations in the Module framework:

  * ready_to_submit_request
  * submit_request
  * _peek_completed_request
  * _drop_completed_request
  * _peek_generated_request
  * _drop_generated_request
  * generated_request_complete

* Module requests are now held for the duration of their lifetime at the
  module they originate from and not, like before, at their target module. As
  a result, modules can generate new requests inline (without having to wait
  for the target module), making code much simpler to read, reducing the amount
  of channel state, and allowing for non-copyable request types.

* Introduce a sub-state-machine for securing a superblock in the
  superblock_control module in order to reduce redundancy.

* Some modules, like free_tree, were completely re-designed in order to make
  them more readable.

* Replace all conditional exceptions by using the macros in
  tresor/assertion.h .

* Move methods that are used in multiple modules but that were implemented
  redundantly in each module to tresor/types.h.

* Remove verbosity node and all that was related to it from tresor tester
  config as the targeted verbosity can be achieved with the
  VERBOSE_MODULE_COMMUNICATION flag in tresor/verbosity.h .

* Extract the aspect of translating the byte-granular I/O-requests to
  tresor-block requests from the tresor VFS-plugin and move it to a new module
  called splitter.

* Rename the files and interface of the hashing back-end to not reflect the used
  hashing algorithm/config anymore, while at the same time making the hashing
  interface strict regarding the used types.

* Introduce the NONCOPYABLE macro that makes marking a class noncopyable short
  and clear.

* Replace the former tresor/vfs_utilities.h/.cc with a new tresor/file.h
  that contains the classes Read_write_file and Write_only_file. These classes
  significantly simplify the modules crypto, block_io, and trust_anchor by
  moving the details of file access to a sub-state machine.

* The former, rather trivial block allocator module is replaced by a normal
  object of type Pba_allocator that must be provided by the client of the
  Sb_initializer (reference in the Sb_initializer_request).

tresor: read uninitialized vbas as all zeroes

Virtual addresses in a Tresor container that were not yet written by the user
should always return a data block that is all-zeroes. This was the concept
right from the beginning of the project. However, somehow this aspect either
never got implement or got lost along the way.

Some context for understanding the commit: The Tresor doesn't initialize the
payload data blocks of a container when creating a new container as this would
be rather expensive. Instead, it marks the leaf metadata nodes of the
virtual-block-device tree (those that reference the payload data blocks in
physical address space) with generation 0.

Now, this commit ensures that, whenever the virtual-block-device module reads
such a generation-0 leaf, instead of asking the block_io and crypto to deliver
data from disc, it directly provides the user with 4K of zeroes.

417fb4e108 tresor: fix bad hash update during rekeying in vbd
The re-keying state machine in the VBD module would use block data of the wrong
block for the hash update of an inner node in a certain circumstance.

On re-keying, the VBD iterates for a given VBA over all snapshots, beginning
with the newest and re-keys the VBA in each of the snapshots. At each snapshot
it therefore loads the branch of the VBA top-down, and then updates the branch
bottom-up. However, if loading a certain level of the branch of a certain
snapshot runs into the same physical block as with the last snapshot on this
level, the algorithm turns around and updates the branch from this point
upwards instead of going further down the whole way to the leaf. This is
because everything below this point has already been re-keyed in the course of
a newer snapshot.

The case where this turning around is not right above the leaf (i.e., the first
shared physical block is a metadata block) that's were the bug was located. In
this situation, we have to re-encode the highest shared metadata block into a
buffer again before starting to update. The update code acts as if the
mentioned block was just written back (which is true when going down all the
way to the leaf before updating) and consequently is present in the encoded
buffer.

9605a60eac tresor: no local copy of snapshots in vbd module
The Virtual Block Device module used to create a local copy of the Snapshots
array respectively Snapshot root it received with an incoming request. After
finishing the VBD operation on the copy, the source module of the request
used to back-copy the resulting Snapshot array resp. Snapshot root. This is
not only less efficient than referencing but also allowed a bug to sneak into
the new C++ implementation.

In contrast to the old Ada/SPARK implementation (CBE), the new design doesn't
allow for global objects that can be accessed by any module without receiving a
reference in a module request. Therefore, the Free Tree module has to receive a
reference to a Snapshots array with each request in order to be able to use it.
In our case, these requests are allocations for a "Write" operation from the
VBD. However, the VBD itself receives only the one Snapshot required for
writing and therefore causes the Free Tree to make bad decisions on whether or
not a block can be re-allocated or not.

With this commit, the VBD always receive a reference to the whole Snapshots
array and also propagates it this way to the Free Tree.

initcall_table.c generated by import-lx_emul_common.inc gets reliably
executed after all object files are built.

ff728eb6ce usb_block: fix 'Request_sense_repsonse' MMIO size
Due to a bug in the original implementation, the size of the MMIO
range covering the 'Request_sense_response' data was set too large
during the MMIO boundary change. This rendered devices that were not
yet ready and required an 'Request_sense' command unusable.

The commit also adapts all other commands where the MMIO size does
not match the expected one.

5e5fe7291a nic/ipxe: add throttle RX interrupt support
The commit adds support to throttle the rate of the RX IRQs to a specified
value. The effect is, that no RX IRQs below the time threshold will fire and
therefore the CPU load gets reduced on the host. Trade-off gaming between
cpu load, throughput, overload.

Modular Sculpt 23.10 on S938 as testcase. In brackets the CPU affinity is
denoted.

ipxe (0,0) -> nic_router (1,0) -> Debian VM vbox6 (3,0) and (3,1)

VM: iperf -C X.X.X.X -t 60 -R

iperf server X.X.X.X is outside Sculpt and sends data due to '-R' to VM

31e8b50b7c nic/ipxe: batch TX requests
A bunch of transmit requests received by the Uplink server (nic_router)
are currently added one by one to the ring buffer and every time the hardware
is notified to process each single request.

Instead, add as many as possible transmit requests in the ring buffer of
the hardware and when done trigger the hardware to process the ring.

Additionally, don't receive an "processed" TX IRQ for each element in the
ring, which causes high CPU load.

With this commit the TX IRQs in the ipxe driver for a

iperf -c X.X.X.X -t 60

from within a VM to the outside iperf server is reduced from about
~2'600'000 IRQs to about ~200'000. The overall CPU load for the driver
(when executed alone on CPU 0) is reduced from ~85 percent load to ~45 percent
load.

7ec08af6d9 usb: session renewal & new client API
Replace the USB session API by one that provides a devices ROM only,
which contains information about all USB devices available for this client,
as well as methods to acquire and release a single device.

The acquisition of an USB device returns the capability to a device session
that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate control transfers
in between the client and the USB host controller driver. Moreover,
additional methods to acquire and release an USB interface can be used.

The acquisition of an USB interface returns the capability to an interface
session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate either
bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfers in between the client and the
USB host controller driver.

This commit implements the API changes in behalf of the Genode C API's
USB server and client side. Addtionally, it provides Usb::Device,
Usb::Interface, and Usb::Endpoint utilities that can be used by native
C++ clients to use the new API and hide the sophisticated packet stream API.

The adaptations necessary target the following areas:

* lx_emul layer for USB host and client side
* Linux USB host controller driver port for PC
* Linux USB client ports: usb_hid_drv and usb_net_drv, additionally
  reduce the Linux tasks used inside these drivers
* Native usb_block_drv
* black_hole component
* Port of libusb, including smartcard and usb_webcam driver depending on it
* Port of Qemu XHCI model library, including vbox5 & vbox6 depending on it
* Adapt all run-scripts and drivers_interactive recipes to work
  with the new policy rules of the USB host controller driver

The kernel timer used to truncated timeouts to the next lower
millisecond, which not only limits the wakeup accuracy but also results
in situations where a user-level timeout is triggered earlier than
expected. The latter effect results in the observation of a spurious
timeouts and the subsequent programming of another timeout.

The patch solves the problem by preserving the sub-milliseconds bits
in the 'us_to_ticks' implementation(s).

9a65e4f607 mesa: generalize binder memory management
This patch was back ported from upstream Mesa and generalizes the memory
management of buffer objects used by the binder. Before this patch the
binder was treated as a special case where buffer objects were allocated
with a simple "next block or wrap" allocator. With this commit the
binder now uses the vm_heap allocators as done by all other buffer
allocations which leads to issues with reference counting and object
destruction being resolved.

Original commit message:

We're moving towards a path where all contexts share the same virtual
memory - because this will make implementing vm_bind much easier - ,
and to achieve that we need to rework the binder memzone. As it is,
different contexts will choose overlapping addresses. So in this patch
we adjust the Binder to be 1GB - per Ken's suggestion - and use a real
vma_heap for it. As a bonus the code gets simpler since it just reuses
the same pattern we already have for the other memzones.

35638568c5 qemu-usb: access I/O buffers directly
This commit replaces the mapping of DMA buffers and gets rid of the
bounce-buffer handling, which was introduced to prevent data
corruption noticed when utilizing USB storage with Windows 10 guests,
with accessing the buffers directly.

Due to the way Windows 10 at times manages its DMA memory (many small
pieces instead of few larger ones) the unbounded registry becomes a
problem when containing stale entries.

Changing the 'qemu-usb' implementation allows for using 'read_dma'
and 'write_dma' directly.

7cbce1f47c libc: socket_fs_plugin handle MSG_PEEK reads
In case the socket is non-blocking, a read with the MSG_PEEK flag set
has to return -1 and EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN in case no data is availble and
the socket is connected. Returning zero implies the socket is in
non-connected state. Therefore, check the connection state in this
situation and return accordingly.

9d72c21894 hw: rename head in scheduler to current
The name head is already extensively used in the context of the lists
managed by the scheduler. This terminology duplications does not simplify
reading the code. Instead we keep head for the first item in the list,
but use `current` in the variable name and API of the `Cpu_scheduler`
class to refer to the current scheduled share.

Moreover, the `_head_quota` is now `_current_time_left`, because it does
not denote quota but time left for the current schedule. The boolean
variable `_head_claims` gets removed at all. It duplicated the state of
whether a current share ist set, and whether it has so-called claim time
left.

1dcc6fda6b lx_emul: improve motion-device handling in evdev
The key element of the improvement is differentiated processing of
events of the following device types.

  Mouse:       relative motion
  Pointer:     absolute motion (Qemu usb-tablet and IP-KVM devices)
  Touchpad:    relative motion via absolute touchpad coordinates
  Touchtool:   absolute motion (e.g., stylus)
  Touchscreen: absolute motion and finger (multi-) touch

Processing is done in two stages for one "input packet". First, all
events of the packet are recorded into the current evdev state with
device-type specific operations. Then, appropriate Genode input events
are generated from the accumulated evdev state in the submission stage
(again by device-type specific functions).

A simple version of tap-to-click was added to the touchpad support.

651eb9d4f2 lx_emul/random: do not use jitterentropy in case initialization failed
Until now, in case 'jent_entropy_init' failed an error has been produced
and the following jitterentropy functions (i.e.,
'jent_entropy_collector_alloc') where called nevertheless. In case we
received a bad time source error, for example because the performance
counters are not working on the platform, the entropy collector did not return (endless
loop).

Therefore, this commit treats the failed jitterentropy initialization
not as an error but prints a warning about poor randomness quality and
stops using the jitterentropy library from this point on. The
'Jitterentropy::gen_random_u64' will in this case return the address of
a stack variable * some counter.

This is only a interim solution to make platforms work where performance
counters or TSC values do not exist/work.

1336b0a751 mmio: upper-bounds checks
The classes Genode::Mmio, Genode::Register_set, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive a template parameter 'size_t SIZE'. In each
type that derives from one of these classes, it is now statically checked that
the range of each Genode::Register::Register- and
Genode::Register_set::Register_array-deriving sub-type is within [0..SIZE).

That said, SIZE is the minimum size of the memory region provided to the above
mentioned Mmio classes in order to avoid page faults or memory corruption when
accessing the registers and register arrays declared inside.

Note, that the range end of a register array is not the end of the last item
but the end of integer access that is used for accessing the last bit in the
last item.

The constructors of Genode::Mmio, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive an argument 'Byte_range_ptr range' that is
expected to be the range of the backing memory region. In each type that derives
from on of these classes, it is now dynamically checked that 'range.num_bytes
>= SIZE', thereby implementing the above mention protection against page faults
and memory corruption.

The rest of the commit adapts the code throughout the Genode Labs repositories
regarding the changes. Note that for that code inside Core, the commits mostly
uses a simplified approach by constructing MMIO objects with range
[base..base+SIZE) and not with a mapping- or specification-related range size.
This should be fixed in the future.

Furthermore, there are types that derive from an MMIO class but don't declare
any registers or register arrays (especially with Platform::Device::Mmio). In
this case SIZE is set to 0. This way, the parameters must be actively corrected
by someone who later wants to add registers or register arrays, plus the places
can be easily found by grep'ing for Mmio<0>.

I2C EEPROMs of the type at24xxx are really slow (ca. 10 kHZ).

This adds the `bus_speed_khz` attribute to the config of the driver and
adapts the i.MX8 driver to support the feature.

cec7847502 vbox6: add support for Windows BSOD logging
Hitting a BOSD in a Windows guest in Virtualbox 6 leads to calling
 `DBGFR3ReportBugCheck`, which leads to the following error since it is
 unimplemented in our port:

```
 Error: DBGFR3ReportBugCheck: DBGFR3ReportBugCheck called, not implemented, eip=0x1a5c4e4
```

Including the actual method from Virtualbox 6 enables logging
diagnostics for the Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).
To see Blue Screen logging output, enable "dbgf" and "gim" logging
via the `VBOX_LOG` following environment variable in the vbox6 runtime
config.
When manually triggering a BSOD in the Windows guest, this should
produce the following logging diagnostics:

```
GIM: HyperV: Guest indicates a fatal condition! P0=0xe2 P1=0x0 P2=0x0 P3=0x0 P4=0x0
GIMHv: BugCheck e2 {0, 0, 0, 0}

1b4f7ae0d3 lx_emul: generate initcalls during build
Functions registered with 'module_init' (i.e., '__define_initcalls'),
'OF_DECLARE', and 'DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_FINAL' used to be static
constructors and had be explicitly registered using
'exec_static_constructors' before executing any Linux code.

With this commit we remove the constructor attributes from these
functions and create a global function pointer in the form of

__initptr_<name>_<id>_<counter>_<line number of macro>

'import-lx_emul_common.inc' will collect these '__initptr' symbols after
the compile step and generate a 'lx_emul_register_initcalls' function
that executes the functions pointed to. This step is now automatically
performed in 'lx_emul_start_kernel'. This way a call to
'exec_static_constructors' can be omitted in case there are no other
constructors in place.

25c7204b2a hw: clear RAM dataspaces in chunks
Clearing very large RAM dataspaces could fill up core's page table,
because the dataspaces are locally mapped to clear them.
This would manifest in a loop where exhausting the local page table
leads to its flushing (which does not work for core) and a retry that
again fills up the page table and so on.

To prevent this, flush RAM dataspaces in chunks of at most 128MiB.

4a2319a4d6 os: limit backtrace to stack of current thread
The frame-pointer-based backtrace does not work without enabling
-fno-omit-frame-pointer explicitly and in most cases leads to page
faults because non-pointer stack values are dereferenced during the
walk. The best we can do is to limit the backtrace walk to the stack of
the current thread to prevent page faults unrelated to the system state
without the use of the backtrace utility.

This commit introduces a printable Backtrace class usable in
Genode::log(), Genode::trace(), etc. The class is based on the new
function for_each_return_address(auto const &fn) that walks the stack in
its limits and calls fn() for each discovered return address on the
stack in the new os/include/os/backtrace.h. Archtecture-specific
stack-pointer retrieval and walk loops are implemented in dedicated
os/include/spec/<arch>/os/for_each_return_address.h files. Also, the
well-known Genode::backtrace() function (which logs the return-address
values) is provided for backwards compatibility.

68ac1347b9 lxip: configure thash/uhash entries to 2048
The number of hash entries for TCP/UDP corresponds to the number of
sockets managed by the stack. In case there are more sockets than
entries available, buckets will be created to compensate for the lack of
space. The default values for TCP (524288) and UDP (65536) are meant for
the in kernel that manages all sockets of the user land and leads
to very large hash table allocations (>20MB) during initialization.

Since on Genode a component has its own instance of the IP stack or uses
the VFS server, we do not need these kind of large default settings.

77b0e10e88 vfs/ram_file_system: deferred unlink
This patch changes the unlink operation of the ram fs to defer the
destruction of a file until it is no longer referenced by any VFS handle.
When unlinked, the file no longer appears in the directory. But it can
still be opened and accessed.

With this change, a parent process of a Unix-like subsystem becomes able
to pass the content of an unlinked file to a forked child process. This
mechanism is required when using the 'exec' command in Tcl scripts.

Another use case is the 'tmpfile()' function.

713659cea5 test-trace: adjust rate of top passing tracepoints
The traced top instance was configured to be active every two seconds
whereas the trace test uses a grace time of only 1.5 seconds before
raising the FOREIGN state of a trace subject as an error.

The state of a trace subject can change only whenever the traced thread
passes a trace point. Hence, with the original configuration, the
release of top as trace subject can take up to two seconds. The patch
reduces the rate to 0.5 seconds to satisfy the expectation of
test-trace.

ce66e12699 vbox: improve network tx throughput
When multiple threads (EMT-0..X + nic_ep) enter the very same
critical section, the use of RTCritSectTryEnter may reflect the contention
case to the Network Model (E1000). Since no one notifies the model, when the
critical section is free again, solely the next packet/event triggered by the
guest will resume the former operation. This may lead to long delays until
packets are sent actually.

Instead of using the RTCritSectTryEnter use RTCritSecEnter to avoid the
situation. All of our network code is non blocking, so the network backend
will only be contented a short time.

Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and
out of the packet stream from the clients.

bfe88307de core: filter trace subjects by TRACE session label
This patch changes core's TRACE service to expose trace subjects only if
their PD label matches the label of the TRACE monitor. Hence, by default,
a trace monitor can only observe itself and its child components. Only
if the trace monitor's parent rewrites the trace-session's label, the
view of trace monitor can become broader. For example, when rewriting
the trace label to an empty string "", the trace monitor becomes able to
observe the sibling components hosted in the same init instance as the
trace monitor.

To grant a trace session the special privilege of obtaining a global
system view (including the kernel's trace subjects), the top-level init
has to rewrite the session's label to an empty string. At core, this
specific label "init -> " is handled as a special case that discharges
the filtering/namespacing of trace subjects.

Note that the trace-subject label as reported as subject info is now
given relative to the label of the trace session. As a nice side effect
of this change, the pkg/test-trace_logger works now when executed by the
depot_autopilot as well as via the test.run script.

eefaa07024 base: add irq_type session argument
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.

Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.

5ae0dab6c5 mk: remove implicit build of shared libraries
This patch removes the implicit build of all shared libraries a target
depends on. Targets only depend on the respective ABIs instead. This
alleviates the need to locally build complex shared libraries (think of
Qt) when developing applications. Instead, application developers can
use binary depot archives.

The implementation splits the mk/lib.mk file into three files:
- mk/a.mk   for building one static library (.lib.a)
- mk/so.mk  for building one shared object  (.lib.so)
- mk/abi.mk for building one ABI stub       (.abi.so)

Furthermore, the commit moves messages and the collection of build
artifacts to var/libdeps, triggers the build of kernel-specific
ld-<kernel>.lib.so, and prunes the lib-dependency tree at ABIs.

b9b2a7de34 Simplify 'List_model'
This patch replaces the original policy-based 'update_from_xml' by a new
method that takes three functors for creating, destroying, and updating
elements as arguments. XML nodes are associated with their corresponding
internal data models by annotating the element type with the
'type_matches' class function and the 'matches' method.

The patch also improves safety by enforcing that list-model elements can
never be copied.

e88e3680aa genode_c_api: remove global-static constructors
The execution of global-static constructors in Genode is optional for
native components or determined in the libc for libc components. By
convention, we avoid static constructors wherever possible but in rare
cases the component can tweak the point when constructors are executed
and initialize an environment beforehand. The wifi_drv applies this
pattern for the uplink initialization, but is a libc component on the
other hand, and, thus, statics in the Genode C API for uplink are
constructed later by the libc. So, the prior initialization is reverted,
i.e. the signal-handler capability becomes invalid.

This addresses a regression exposed by the following commit.

1224162072 menu_view: refine zero-size condition
Commit "menu_view: ignore zero-sized widgets in box layout" introduces
zero-sized child widgets as a special case but defined zero-sized as
zero covered pixels (w*h == 0). However, for layouting, a widget with a
non-zero height and zero width is not zero-sized.

This patch refines the zero-size condition such that only widgets with
both zero width and zero height are considered as zero-sized.

It thereby solves the missing display of empty lines in the text_area
component.

87b7dfed5d xml_node: skip whitespace in differs_from
The 'Xml_node::differs_from' method takes the constructor arguments
(addr, size) for a byte-wise comparison whereas 'with_raw_node'
restricts the byte range to the actual XML tags. In cases where
the XML start tag is preceeded by whitespace, both ranges can differ.

Since the 'differs_from' method is meant for comparing actual XML
nodes - not any whitespace around them - whitespace should be ignored
on both operands.

This is a follow-up fix for commit "sculpt: apply Dialog API to diag,

The patch avoids the use of clack seq numbers for the 'popup_opened'
condition (which happens on click, not clack). It also overrides old
click information on the arrival of a new click, avoiding the evaluation
of stale click sequence numbers in distant_runtime.cc. Furthermore, it
reduces the rate of 'Distant_runtime::_try_handle_click_and_clack'.

916bd88e5e base: extend PD session by system_control_cap
Per Affinity::Location a system control cap can be requested. The capability
provides an RPC interface to request and set Cpu_state, as provided by the
former Pd::managing_system(Cpu_state) method. Invocation of those system
control capabilities then *can* (see below) be executed on the desired CPU
as described by Affinity::Location.

The system control cap will be invalid for kernels that don't support
system_control/managing_system functionality at all.

The system control cap will be ever by the same, e.g. ignoring the
Affinity::Location parameter, if the used kernel doesn't support or doesn't
require the feature to execute the system control per CPU.

The commit is a preparation step to add guarded and selective x86 MSR
access per CPU.

6895175764 menu_view: omit label hover details by default
Each hover change of the character position within a label results in a
new hover report, which needs to be evaluated by the application. For
the common cases where labels are used as button texts or for presenting
passive information, the level of detail is not needed while the
recurring hover reports induce overhead at the application side.
This patch mitigates this overhead by excluding labels from the hover
reporting by default.

For use cases that actually depend of precise hover reporting of labels,
for example an editable text area, the hover reporting can be enabled by
setting the 'hover="yes"' attribute of the label.

391c261199 menu_view: propagate widget version attr
The 'Widget::_version' attribute was meant to allow the deliberate
replacement of a widget by a same-named widget by changing the version
while keeping the name, thereby suppressing any geomety animation.

However, the implementation missed to populate the attribute with the
value provided by the dialog ROM, prompting the unconditional
re-creation of the widget whenever a 'version' attribute was specified.
Even though this had the (desired) effect of preventing geometry
animations, it could cause feedback loops between hover reports and
dialog ROMs because the 'hover_changed' condition in 'Menu_view::Main'
would always stay true while a versioned widget is hovered.

ef0c859b7a virtualbox6: cache USB DMA bounce buffers
To prevent exessive allocations the bounce buffers are allocated
once and afterwards re-used. The DMA buffers are provided by an
range allocator whose backing store increases in 4 MiB chunks.

The range allocator might not merge the ranges as those chunks
are not necessarily allocated continously. Allocations larger
than the static chunk size are therefor treated as error.

0d868515a5 libyuv: add support to overwrite default allocator
Internally libyuv uses malloc & free for short time dynamic memory
allocation during image transformation. The converted images are
such large, that the Libc allocator will create and destroy new Genode
dataspace per image.  In time sensitive code paths, the overhead can be
noticeable by the caller of the image transformation.
The patch adds the option to register callbacks in the libyuv library to
implement the image allocation by users of the library. They may implement
caching strategies to avoid the overhead, e.g. as seen with qemu-usb and
the webcam model.

d3d822cd9d fb_sdl: refactor to only construct window once
In SDL2, support has been added for multiple windows.

As such, prior to this commit, invoking _sdl_screen.construct
would create a new window each time the original window was
resized.

To avoid this, refactor to only construct the window once, and
upon resize events, reconstruct the SDL_Surface and SDL_Texture
of Sdl_screen to the new window dimensions.

9799adda79 fb_sdl: update to use sdl2
Following the official migration guide of SDL [1], the
fb_sdl framebuffer driver was update from SDL1 to SDL2.

The sdl2 port in world/src/lib/sdl2 is used.

Since SDL1 is in maintenance mode [2], support for other
display servers than X11 will never be implemented. In
particular, support for Wayland is missing from SDL1.

Fortunately, a port of sdl2 is maintained in genode-world.

As SDL2 is actively developed, it will provide support for
modern hardware architectures, and has mature support for
Wayland [3].

daafe3f4e2 base: rework vmm library API
The new API emphasizes control over the vCPU data by granting access
through the Vcpu::with_state() method, which makes sure that the vCPU is
stopped, invokes the supplied function with a reference to the VM state
and resumes the vCPU if the function returns true.

The old Vcpu::run(), Vcpu::pause() and Vcpu::state() methods are removed
in favor of the new API. Execution of the vCPU is now interrupted by
sending a native Genode Signal to its Vcpu_handler, which will run the
VMM's exit handling method. When this method retrieves the vCPU state by
calling Vcpu::with_state(), the outside interruption is detected and on
x86 a recall exit is injected into the state to signal the vCPU
interruption / pause request to the VMM's vCPU handler.

using the FPU at any time. We had to make sure to save the
FPU state as early as possible before the VMM component touches the FPU,
to avoid corrupting & losing guest FPU state. This caused headache again
and again. To avoid the uncertainty, we remove this feature and explicitly
transfer the FPU state via the UTCB.

9f7e47368f libports: transform compat-libc into a static library
Dynamically loading the `compat-libc` breaks `fork(2)` on Genode.

Switch `compat-libc` to a special api package that provides a source
file for statically linking the library, analogous to the `blit`
package. This also requires a quirk in Goa but should prevent breaking
`fork()` and removes the runtime and archive dependencies for Rust
packages using `compat-libc`.

0a85964f91 libports: add 'compat-libc'
Implement FBSD_1.0 versions of libc functions ('stat', 'fstat'). The
functions are versioned with @FBSD_1.0, and therefore, will not clash
with libc during linking. However, to be called by our dynamic linker,
the library must be before libc in the NEEDED section of the binary
using it. This requires the lib to be in front of libc in the LIBS
variable. The library currently will call libc 'stat' and 'fstat' by
looking up the symbols via 'dlsym'.

65d9607ece vbox6: force C/H/S disk geometry from calculation
Some Ubuntu installations (e.g., 20.04) create installation disks with
strange C/H/S MBR partitions like 3988/255/2. Normally, VirtualBox reads
the MBR to guess disk geometry information for the virtual BIOS.
Unfortuantely, the strange values from Ubuntu lead to a heavy
virtual-disk activity on boot. Therefore, this commit forces the use of
calculated values based on the assumption that large disks use LBA
addressing anyway.

  that should be recognized and render the test failed or successful. If a

  it defines a timeout after which the test should be rendered failed or
  successful.

* Adapts the Depot Autopilot to support the new syntax in the test-package
  runtime files. However, for now, the Depot Autopilot is kept compatible to
  the old syntax as well. If the <events> tag is present, it is prioritized

647631af09 test/timeout: revert use of memory barriers
The memory barriers where introduced with commit "test-timeout: fix build
errors with -std=gnu++20" presumably in order to prevent GCC optimization from
removing the empty for loops the test is using because using a volatile index
variable was no longer an option.

However, the memory barriers seem to have a negative effect on the measurements
performed with the affected loops. The commit caused the timeout test to fail
at least on imx53_qsb.

This commit fixes the issue by using a simple empty for loop without volatiles
or memory barriers but protected inside a function that is compiled with
optimization disabled.

caac994da8 lx_kit: decouple schedule execution
Prior to this commit, whenever an external event occurred, for example
timer or interrupt, the corresponding I/O signal handler was triggered.
This handler unblocked the task waiting for the event and initiated the
immediate execution of all unblocked tasks. Since these tasks may hit
serialization points, e.g. synchronously waiting for packet stream
operations, that require handling of other I/O signals this leads to
nested execution. This, however, is not supported and mixes application
and I/O level signal handling.

The flagging of the scheduling intent is now decoupled from its
execution by using an application level signal handler that is run in
the context of the components main entrypoint. The I/O signal handler
now triggers the scheduling execution by sending a local signal to
the EP.

Since it might be necessary to execute a pending schedule from the EP
directly the scheduler is extended with the 'execute' member function
that performs the check that the scheduler is called from within the
EP and triggers the execution afterwards.

7b7851abfb vfs/tresor_trust_anchor: fix alignment faults
Fixes alignment faults that occured in the AES256 implementations while
wrapping or unwrapping keys on imx53_qsb, imx6q_sabrelite, and imx7d_sabre.
The problem was that the unwrap_key/wrap_key functions did reinterpret casts
from unsigned char pointers to uint64_t pointers and then directly used the 64
bit values of referenced by the latter. Most probably this caused the compiler
to optimize operations in the assumption that the pointer is 8-byte aligned
which then created alignment faults.

As a solution, this commit changes the interface of the wrap_key/unwrap_key
functions to take uint64 pointers as arguments instead of unsigned char
pointers and then adapts the function users to ensure that they refer to
appropriately aligned memory regions.

317c5429d2 dde_bsd: decrease overall memory consumption
The initial memory backend implementation was brought over from DDE
Linux and was geared towards use-cases where a high-performing
allocator is useful. In case of the audio driver this is overkill
and since no other driver that could benefit from such an
implementation was ported in the meantime rather use a simpler
implementation that keeps the overhead down.

1fd1786122 test/lx_hybrid: don't call glibc exit
This patch removes the use of the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism
and the call of glibc's exit from the lx_hybrid tests, for two reasons.

First, the interplay of atexit handlers executed by the glibc and
Genode's lx_hybrid library is complicated while bringing no benefits in
practice as lx_hybrid applications are usually servers that don't exit
anyway.

Second, the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism in not used by any
other component. By removing its use from the lx_hybrid tests, we can
remove this mechanism from the base library.

afaabb3121 pc_nic_drv: add R8169 driver
This commits enables the R8169 driver and was tested with two

two equal RTL8125B (10ec:8125 rev 0x5 sub 1458:e000) devices
running Sculpt.

Firmware loading is for now not implemented but specific Linux
commits suggest it could be necessary. However, doing so will be
post-poned until we have gathered more experience with the driver.

* Adds a replacement struct without any layout restrictions for each of the

* Adds block encoding and decoding utilities for easily converting from the
  new structs to on-disc blocks and vice-versa (Block_scanner, Block_generator,
  T::decode_to_blk, T::encode_from_blk)
* Adapts all affected places in the library to encode and decode proberly
  instead of simply casting pointers.
* Thereby cleans up the hashing utilities to use typed-reference args instead
  of void pointers.
* Re-enables run/tresor_tester and test-file_vault_vonfig_report for platforms
  rpi, imx53_qsb, imx53_qsb_tz, imx6q_sabrelite, imx7d_sabre.

3c5d27506f base: stricter distinction between rx and rwx
This patch restricts 'Region_map::attach_executable' to create read-only
mappings, while offering the option to map the full rights using a new
'attach_rwx' method.

The 'attach_rwx' method is now used by the dynamic linker to explicitly
attach the linker area with full rwx rights. With the old page-fault
handling code, the execute flag was evaluated only for leaf dataspaces,
not for managed dataspaces while traversing region-map hierarchies.
With the new page-fault handling code, the execute bit is downgraded
to no-execute when passing a managed dataspace that is not attached
as executable.

a4c59c03e3 core: rework page-fault resolution
The change "core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces" addressed a
corner case of the use of nested region maps. Apparently, this change
negatively affects other scenarios (tool_chain_auto).

In order to confidently cover all the differnt situations, this patch
reworks the page-fault resolution code for improved clarity and safety,
by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic types,
choosing expressive names, and fostering constness.

It also introduces a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual
instrumentation and streamlines the error messages printed by core.
Those messages no longer appear when a user-level page-fault handler
is reistered for the faulted-at region map. So the monitor component
produces less noise on the attempt to dump non-existing memory.

6a57683e52 New debug monitor
The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor
of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the
subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s).

In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring
of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be
used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor,
the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session.
But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code,
sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.

There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The
os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run
script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored
components.

f2153f9b2f sandbox: allow for customized PD access
By default, the sandbox uses the Env::pd() as reference PD session of
the sandbox children.

However, to accomodate use cases where the interplay of the reference
PD session and the child's address space needs to be intercepted, this
patch adds a constructor that takes an interface for the controlled
access of PD intrinsics as argument.

f47c64e246 core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces
This patch adds the missing application of the region offset to the
resolution of page faults inside managed dataspaces, which resulted in
an unexpected "invalid mapping" message after attaching a managed
dataspace with an offset.

This limitation could be observed during the implementation of the debug
monitor that locally maps a portion of the debugging target's address
space, e.g., a view port of 16 MiB. All traditional uses of managed
dataspaces (e.g., stack area, linker area) happened to attach the
managed dataspaces from their beginning.

dea53f635f Refine tresor tests
* Use jitterentropy only if supported.
  On certain targets like pbxa9 or zynq_qemu, the performance counter always
  yields 0, which renders jitterentropy unusable. On these platforms, the
  Tresor tests now use a static value as entropy source instead.

* Adds a new package test-file_vault_config_report_no_entropy that is used by
  the Depot Autopilot on targets without jitterentropy support instead of
  test-file_vault_config_report. The only difference between the two packages
  is the value of the above described new config attribute of the File Vault.

* Circumvent alignment fault.
  The Tresor lib for now has the deficiency of using on-disc data structures
  directly in code instead of decoding them first to unpacked, naturally
  aligned structures. This causes problems with memory-access alignment on
  several platforms (rpi, imx6q_sabrelite, imx53_qsb, imx7d_sabre). As fixing
  this properly is a bit of work, the commit disables the tresor_tester and
  file_vault_config_report test on the affected platforms in autopilot mode for
  now.

* Further adjustments
  * Make benchmarks optional
  * Use a smaller tresor for rekeying
  * Clean up image parameters
  * No use implicit routes/resources
  * Reduce ram consumption
  * Reduce test timeout
  * Raise cap quota, required for sel4 x86_64.

an equally called compilation-unit is found in several different

which fails later on as the driver framework refuses to register
an equally named driver twice.

Instead of only considering the name of the compilation-unit also
include the last element of the path to generate differentiating
KBUILD_MODNAME value.

implementation should not pose a performance risk.

So far it was only encounter with a 7260 device when running netperf.

d5710d9de3 Move 'wifi' driver to dde_linux repository
The bulk of the driver code now lives in the 'dde_linux' repository,
which is available on all platforms, from where it can be referenced by
other repositories.

The 'wifi_drv' binary was delegated to a generic harness that includes
all configuration and management functionality shared by all wireless
device driver components, e.g., the wpa_supplicant. The code of the
device driver emulation environment is located in 'src/lib/wifi'. It
is referenced by the platform-specific driver library that resides in
the corresponding platform repository. The runtime configuration needs
to point the driver to proper driver library.

The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the contrib
source utilized by the driver as well as providing the 'source.list'
and 'dep.list' files. It must include the generic library snippet
'repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc' that deals with managing the emulation
environment code.

The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to deploy the driver.

aeb65d6b1b file_vault: version 23.05
* ARM support and detaching from Ada/SPARK

  * Remove all CBE-related code - especially the Ada/SPARK-based CBE library.

    * We have no means or motivation of further maintaining big projects in
      Ada/SPARK (the core Genode team is native to C++).

    * The Genode Ada/SPARK toolchain and runtime don't support ARM so far - an
      important architecture for Genode. This would mean extra commitment in
      Ada/SPARK.

    * We realize that block encryption more and more becomes a fundamental
      feature of Genode systems.

  * Implement a new block encryption library named Tresor that is inspired by
    the design and feature set of the former CBE library and that is entirely
    C++ and part of the Genode gems repository.

    * The Tresor block encryption is backwards-compatible with the on-disk
      data layout of the former CBE block encryption.

    * Except from the snapshot management and the "dump" tool, the Tresor
      block encryption provides the same feature set as the former CBE block
      encryption and accepts the same user requests at the level of the
      Tresor library API.

    * So far, the Tresor block encryption does not support the creation of
      user-defined snapshots.

    * In contrast to the former CBE, the Tresor ecosystem has
      no "dump" tool beause with the CBE library it turned out to be rarely of
      use.

    * In contrast to the Block back-end of the CBE "init" tool, the Tresor
      "init" tool uses a File System back-end.

    * The former CBE VFS-plugin is replaced with a new Tresor VFS-Plugin.

      * The Tresor-VFS plugin in general is similar to the former CBE VFS but
        has a slightly different API when it comes to re-keying and re-sizing.
        Each of these operations now is controlled via two files. The first
        file is named <operation> and the user writes the start command to it.
        The user must then read this file once in order to drive the operation.
        The read returns the result of the operation, once it is finished.
        The second file is named <operation>_progress and can be watched and
        read for obtaining the progress of the operation as percentage.

    * The file vault is adapted to use the new Tresor ecosystem
      instead of the former CBE ecosystem and thereby also gains ARM support.

    * The former CBE tester and CBE VFS-tests are replaced by equivalent
      Tresor variants and are now run on ARM as well (testing with a persistent
      storage back-end is supported only when running on Linux).

    * So far, the new Tresor block encryption has no internal cache for meta
      data blocks like the former CBE.

* Add config/report user interface

  * Add a second option for the administration front end to the file vault
    named "config and report". With this front end the File Vault communicates
    with the user via XML strings. A ROM session is requested for user input
    and a Report session for user output. The front end type must be set at
    startup via the component config and is a static setting. The graphical
    front end that was used up to now is named "menu view" and remains the
    default.

  * The File Vault can now reflect its internal state and user input ("config
    and report" mode only) at the LOG session via two new static config
    attributes "verbose_state" and "verbose_ui_config" (both defaulting to
    "no").

  * The Shutdown button in "menu view" mode is replaced with a Lock button. The
    new button doesn't terminate the File Vault but merely lock the encrypted
    container and return to a cleared passphrase input. The same transition is
    also provided in "config and report" mode.

  * The file_vault.run script is replaced with file_vault_menu_view.run and
    file_vault_cfg_report.run that address the two front end modes. In contrast
    to the former script, which is interactive, the latter script is suitable
    for automatic testing.

  * There is a new recipe/pkg/test-file_vault_cfg_report that essentially does
    the same as file_vault_cfg_report.run but uses the File Vault package and
    can be executed with the Depot Autopilot. The new test package is added to
    the default test list of depot_autopilot.run

  * The File Vault README is updated to the new version of the component and
    has gained a chapter "functional description".

  * Fixes a regression with the cbe_init_trust_anchor component that prevented
    reacting to a failed unlock attempt in the File Vault.

* The new Tresor software Trust Anchor has an optional deterministic mode in
  which it replaces the normally randomized symmetric keys with 0. This mode
  comes in handy for debugging. However, it should never be activated in
  productive systems. When activated, the user is warned extensively on the
  LOG that this system mode is insecure.

9b5944b90c platform_drv: use IOMMU devices
Every session component manages a registry of Io_mmu::Domain objects
that it creates on demand depending on the acquired devices (i.e. the
IOMMU devices referenced by the acquired devices). Via the domain
objects, a session component adds/removes the address ranges of the
allocated DMA buffers. Additionally, domain objects provide an interface
for enabling/disabling pci devices.

Domain objects get destroyed with the corresponding control device.
Moreover, on devices/policy ROM updates, domain objects of control
devices that are not referenced by any acquired device anymore get destroyed.

</device>

The specified name is supposed to refer to an existing device in the

devices whenever they become available so that the device object can be

4903487f21 vbox6: fix "Error: slab block [xxx] is corrupt"
In 'SUPR3InitEx' (SUPLib.cpp) a 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' structure is allocated
with

!  (PSUPQUERYFUNCS)RTMemAllocZ(SUP_IOCTL_QUERY_FUNCS_SIZE(CookieReq.u.Out.cFunctions));

where 'CookieReq.u.Out.cFunctions' is 0. To determine the size of the
allocation

! #define SUP_IOCTL_QUERY_FUNCS_SIZE(cFuncs) \
!   RT_UOFFSETOF_DYN(SUPQUERYFUNCS, u.Out.aFunctions[(cFuncs)])

is used with cFuncs = 0 (SUPDrvIOC.h) leading to an allocation up to the
arrow below

! typedef struct SUPQUERYFUNCS
! {
!     /** The header. */
!     SUPREQHDR               Hdr;
!     union
!     {
!         struct
!         {
!             /** Number of functions returned. */
!             uint32_t        cFunctions;
!             /** Array of functions. */
==> end of allocation
!             SUPFUNC         aFunctions[1];
!         } Out;
!     } u;
==> sizeof(SUPQUERYFUNCS)
! } SUPQUERYFUNCS, *PSUPQUERYFUNCS;

In sup.cc (Genode) 'ioctl(SUPQUERYFUNCS &request)' will lead to
'with_out_ioctl'

! auto &out = request.u.Out;

where auto is 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' and finally

! out = { };

will zero out 'SUPQUERYFUNCS' up to the second arrow above. Because
'RTMemAllocZ' will call 'calloc' to allocate the memory 'out = { };'
will corrupt the slab block after the allocation. Therefore, it is
reasonable to allocate at least 'sizeof(SUPQUERYFUNCS)'.

Note there might be other 'ioctl' cases like this. A better way might be
to use 'SUPQUERYFUNCS.Hdr.cbOut' to determine the 'out' size.

d59a2b4b38 ldso: fix page fault at IP 0 with GCC 12 on RISC-V
Eliminate the creation of 'Genode::String's before the linker has been
self relocated, because 'Genode::String's will call 'Genode::strlen' on
construction from C-Strings, which has now become a GOT relative call,
while the GOT contains only zeros before relocation -> page fault at
IP 0.

0e3a9bfe1f libc: fix cached ioctl info file access
This patch solves the false-negative error message "failed to open file"
referring to an ioctl info file during an ioctl call. The message is
now avoided by checking for the existence of the file before reading it.

However, the observed symptom uncovered an actual bug that was
introduced in commit "libc vfs: open OSS 'info' file only once" with
the attempt to cache the content of ioctl info files. When called
multiple time for different paths, 'Vfs_plugin::_with_info' would
wrongly return the info from the first call as cached in a local
static variable.

The patch fixes the problem by a new added 'Cached_ioctl_info'
implementation in the scope of the 'Vfs_plugin'.

7deee978c5 driver_manager: disable USB driver BIOS handoff
We repeatedly experience issues with XHCI handoff in the USB host driver
at runtime on modern systems. Mostly, these issues manifest as
initialization delays with very high CPU load. Investigations show that
during this time the handoff MMIO write does not return, which hints the
firmware driver enters some spinning loop. I suspect the enabled IOMMU
does not play well with the firmware due to insufficient RMRR
information.

Therefore, we disable USB handoff in Sculpt via the driver manager (as
we do for dedicated devices already in other contexts). Note, UHCI and
EHCI handoff is still done in the platform driver and succeeds on all
our test hardware.

The components featured on pkg/goa-linux are solely needed for 'goa

1dbad87139 cbe: fix propagation of results of unlock attempts
Fixes a regression with the cbe_init_trust_anchor component that prevented
reacting to a failed unlock attempt in the File Vault. The regression was
caused by new semantics in the vfs that did not allow for using the file
operation result as indicator for whether the unlock attempt failed or
succeeded. The correct and hereby applied approach is to check for the data
read from the file after having written the unlock command. The data reads
either "ok" or "failed".

This patch replaces the former 'nic_drv' and 'nic_drv_dtb' functions
by a more general 'nic_driver_routes' function that can return one or
multiple platform-specific ROM routes for NIC-driver binaries and dtb
files. This allows for supplying customizations for the wifi driver
as well. E.g., on the PinePhone, this hook can be used to handle the
renaming of the 'wifi_drv' to 'a64_wifi_drv'.

f8fd202a1c depot_download: option for unverified downloads
This patch equips the depot_download subsystem with the option to
explicitly skip the signature verification for downloads by specifying
the attribute 'verify="no"' for an <installation> item. This is useful
in scenarios where the lack of integrity of downloaded content does not
pose a risk, e.g., for untrusted applications that are rigidly
sandboxed, or during development.

Note that this option does not entirely discarge the signature checking.
Whenever an download has dependencies that are verifyable - for
which the public key exists in the depot - the dependencies are still
verified. This allows untrusted content to depend of verifyable content
while protecting the integrity the verifyable content.

object.

Now the report is explicitly created by calling the 'generate_report'
member function. At this point we no longer have access to all
required information so the 'Partition' class was extended to
accommodate for the data needed by MBR as well as GPT reports.

fd7001d020 os/vfs.h: don't truncate File_content
The 'File_content' utility throws an exception whenever a file happens
to get truncated during the reading process. But it silently truncates
the data against the specified limit. In practice, exceeding the limit
is usually an error case. This patch enhances the 'File_content' utility
by throwing 'Truncated_during_read' in the limit-exceeded case as well,

The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific

kernel-dependent peculiarities.

This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial

ae0e0c118e nvme_drv: add support for host-memory-buffer
This commit introduces support for the HMB feature and will setup the
buffer during start-up. The host-memory-buffer (HMB) feature is mostly
used on NVMe devices that do not make use of an DRAM cache to store its
translation tables amongst other operational data. Not using HMB can
impair the performance on such devices.

The memory is allocated in 2 MiB chunks of DMA-capable memory and its
total size in bytes is configurable via the 'hmb_size' config attribute.
The driver always checks the minimal and preferred size of the HMB and
issues a warning in case it is not enabled via the configuration.
Moreover, if the configured size is less than the minimal amount
required by the device the HMB is not configured at all and a warning
is issued also. If the configured size is more than the preferred size
it will be capped to that amount.

50541c68ec lx_emul: shadow cpu_relax to update jiffies
There are rare use-cases where cpu_relax is used inside a busy loop

reaches a specific value.
Because of the cooperative scheduling done in lx_emul, no timer

bdf47785b8 vfs: remove 'file_size' from read/write interfaces
The 'file_size' type denotes the size of files on disk in bytes. On
32-bit architectures it is larger than the size_t, which refers to
in-memory object sizes.

Whereas the use of 'file_size' is appropriate for ftruncate and seek, it
is not a suitable type for the parameters of read/write operations
because those operations refer to in-memory buffers.

This patch replaces the use of 'file_size' by size_t. However, since it
affects all sites where the read/write interface is uses, it takes the
opportunity to replace the C-style (pointer, size) arguments by
'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr'.

We determine the owner of a Vram object by the session cap of the

677c8e828c depot_download,depot_query: support system images
This patch enhances the depot_download subsystem with support for
downloading and querying system images.

The installation ROM support the following two now download types:

  <image_index path="<user>/image/index"/>
  <image       path="<user>/image/<name>"/>

Internally, the depot-download subsystem employs the depot-query
component to determine the missing depot content. This component
accepts the following two new queries:

  <images      user="..."/>
  <image_index user="..."/>

If present in the query, depot_query generates reports labeled as
"images" and "image_index" respectively.

The also tracks the completion of each job depending on the depot-
query results, so that the final report contains a result for each
installation item requested. Prior this patch, the inactivity of the
depot-download manager (indicated by an empty state report) was
interpreted as success. But that prevents the proper association of
results and requested installation items.

06a53abe68 tool/depot/publish: support system images
This patch equips the publish tool to handle system images.

System images reside at <depot-user/image/. The directory contains an
index file that contains the meta information of the available images
in XML form, e.g.,

  <index>
    <image name="sculpt-pinephone-2023-01-19" board="pinephone">
       <info text="initial version"/>
    </image>
  </index>

To publish a new version of the index:

  ./tool/depot/publish <depot-user>/image/index

Each system image comes in two forms, a bootable disk image and an
archive of the boot directory. The bootable disk image can be used to
install a new system from scratch by copying the image directly ot a
block device. It contains raw block data. The archive of the boot
directory contains the content needed for an on-target system update to
this version. Within the depot, this archive a directory - named after
the image - that contains the designated content of the boot directory
on target. Depending on the board, it may contain only a single file
loaded by the boot loader (e.g., uImage), or several boot modules, or
even the boot-loader configuration.

To publish both forms:

  ./tool/depot/publish <depot-user>/image/<image-name>

This results in the following - accompanied by their respective .sig
files - in the public directory:

  <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.img.gz  (disk image)
  <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.tar.xz  (boot archive)
  <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.zip     (disk image)

The .zip file contains the .img file. It is provided for users who
download the image on a system with no support for .gz.

61a7671de1 os/vfs.h: read loop in Readonly_file::read
This patch improves the Readonly_file::read method such that the
capacity of the specified buffer is used as upper bound for the read
operation instead of VFS-internal I/O buffer sizes. This relieves the
caller from implementing a read loop in most cases.

As a step away from C-ish use of the API, the patch deprecates the old
'read' method that takes the buffer as char *, size_t arguments.

3447d0ccb9 menu_view: avoid flicker when enlarging the view
Each time when enlarging the menu view, a new 'Gui_buffer' is
constructed with the new size. At its contruction time, the default
reset background color is in effect, which is evaluated by
'reset_surface' as part of the construction. A custom reset color
takes effect only after the construction. Hence, when the Gui_buffer is
flushed to screen immediately at construction time, the gray default
becomes visible for a short time.

This patch changes the Gui_buffer to accept the reset background color
as construction argument so that it takes immediate effect.

d33139c40a enable ccache for reference Linux kernel
Genode build system allows to easily enable 'ccache' for builds. This
change allows to enable using 'ccache' also for build of reference
Linux kernel used during porting device drivers.

To enable 'ccache' it is enough to pass value of 'CC' variable when
executing Linux build but this build by default depends on time when it
is built which causes 'ccache' misses. To solve this issue additional
flags are passed to make build independent from time, current user and

5f0ba7d722 intel_fb: handle rapid config change gracefully
In case of very rapid config ROM change (<300ms), the linux driver may still
be in progress of applying the previous change (e.g. switching connector on/off).

During this progress all tasks may become not runnable (waiting for IRQ/timeouts
until hardware state settles), the newest config ROM change/signal gets
dispatched, which lead to continuing the previous change request, but not
to re-starting/re-applying the new config change. To avoid this situation,
explicitly track whether a previous config change was finished and track if an
interim config change request came in. If so, re-start the lx_user
task with the newest config change.

  rule that matched the client destination ip and port.

* Don't use good-case exceptions for updating TCP/UDP links on re-configuration

* Make conditions when to dismiss a forward rule easier to read.
  * Introduces != operator to the public Port class in the net library.

  matching forward rule turned out to be not matching.

The semantic of .NOPARALLEL has changed in GNU Make 4.4

Quote:

New feature: .NOTPARALLEL accepts prerequisites If the .NOTPARALLEL
special target has prerequisites then all prerequisites of those targets
will be run serially (as if .WAIT was specified between each
prerequisite).

This means that only prerequisites are made sequential. Before
everything within a Makefile would be done in sequential order.

Therefore, we had to add the *.hash target (appears multiple times) to
the .NOPARALLEL prerequisites.

20fea7fdd2 base-hw scheduler test: adapt to new behavior
This adapts the test to the changes that were applied to the scheduling scheme
by the following commits:

* base-hw scheduler: optimize quota depletion events
* base-hw scheduler: fix bug on removing head
* base-hw scheduler: fix ready method
* base-hw: optimize & cleanup scheduler

Part of that is that the test used to check whether the act of setting a share
ready outdates the head or not. However, with the current version of the
scheduler, this check is not possible anymore. We can merely check whether the
head is outdated after setting the share ready. So, among other adaptions, this
commit adapts the expectations of the test to the new semantics of the check.

0467b4aaf3 base-hw scheduler: optimize quota depletion events
This is an optimization for the case that a prioritized scheduling context
needs slightly more time during a round than granted via quota. If this is the
case, we move the scheduling context to the front of the unprioritized schedule
once its quota gets depleted and thereby at least ensure that it does not have
to wait for all unprioritized scheduling contexts as well before being
scheduled again.

Note that this introduces the possibility of undeserved starvation of
unprioritized scheduling contexts to the scheduling scheme. If there are
enough prioritized contexts that deplete their quota during a round,
they may cover up also the rest of the round with their unprioritized time
slices. If this happens every round, contexts without a priority/quota may
never get a turn. In the previous scheduling scheme, this could not occur as
the unprioritized schedule was completely independent from prioritized
schedules and rounds.

The scheduler did not consider the consumed quota during a call to "update"
if the head that consumed the quota was removed from the scheduler. When this
occured, the internal round time did not advance as expected but remained at
its previous value untile the next call to "update" (without a removed head)
This commit introduces a new flag that is set only when the head gets removed
in order to detect and handle the situation correctly on the next call to
"update".

fc690f1c47 hw: re-work the ipc node's internal state machine
* Split the internal state into incoming and outgoing message relations
* Avoid fragmenting of one state like formerly '_state' and '_help'
* Remove pointer to caller, use incoming FIFO instead

This commit fixes at least two bugs that were triggered by tests that
destroy threads in many different states, like run/bomb:

* The '_help' data member was not reset reliable in each situation where a
  helping relationship came to an end. However, when we fixed this bug alone
  in the old state model, the issues remained. The new state model fixes
  this bug as well.

* A thread sometimes referenced an already dead thread as receiver. This caused
  the kernel IPC code to access the vtable of an object that didn't exist any
  longer. Note that the two threads were not in direct IPC relationship while
  the receiver was destroyed, so, there must have been an intermediate node
  between them. Due to the complexity of this problem, we eventually gave up
  pin-pointing the exact reason in the kernel IPC code. The issue disappeared
  with the new state model.

5a558a64e1 gpt_write: use GPE LBA from header
When writing the GPT header, the tool always wrote the GPT entries
belonging to the primary header to LBA following the header. Normally
this is LBA 2 as the header is located in LBA 1. The GPT allows for
up to 128 entries that all in all cover 16 KiB of storage space.
However, on some systems, e.g. ARM-based machines, the bootloader can
be stored in this region. For this reason the GPT entries may be moved
to a different LBA.

This commit changes the tool to adhere to then given GPE LBA in header
when writing out the modified GPT data.

1b1a9ca95c nic_router: fix bad connection states on IP change
When a domain receives a new dynamic router IP address and that domain has
active connection states (TCP/UDP/ICMP) from another domain with NAT applied,
the connection states used to stay active while becoming obsolete. They
become obsolete because their identification and their packet processor
use the old routers IP address due to NAT.

One consequence was that connections became dysfunctional when the server
domain received a new dynamic router IP address. Request packets were still
routed from client to server, but when entering the server, their source IP
address was the outdated router address. Consequently, the server responses
used the outdated address as destination and the router dropped the responses
because it did not know this address anymore.

This commit fixes the problem by letting a domain destroy all its connection
states that were initiated from within other domains whenever it detaches from
its current IP configuration.

Strictly speaking, it is not necessary to destroy all connection states, only
those that the domain applies NAT to. However, the Genode AVL tree is not built
for removing a selection of nodes and trying to do it anyways is complicated.
So, for now, we simply destroy all connection states.

Note that the other way around was handled correctly already. When a domain
detaches from its IP config, all interfaces of that domain destroy all the
connection states they created (towards other domains).

7a7cac57d9 nic_router: futile ip config updates on dhcp renew
If the IP config does not change on updates to the router IP config of a domain
change (a common case on DHCP RENEW), prevent detaching from the old config and
attaching to the new one. Because this would not only create unnecessary CPU
overhead but also force all clients at all interfaces that are listening to
this config (via config attribute 'dns_config_from') to restart their
networking (re-do DHCP).

ff2176a586 vfs,libc: support write fds in select
By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.

Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.

7d8d4f4532 vfs,libc: deferred wakeup of remote peers
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.

The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.

The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.

b78b543011 vmm: make ARM VMM configureable
This commit enables users of the VMM to define CPU type and count, RAM size,
kernel and initrd ROM names, GIC version, and Virtio devices to be used.
Derived from the configuration values a flattened device-tree blob (DTB) is
generated and transfered to the VM.

0a8d6ddba9 core: Ignore constraints on allocations if allocator is exhausted
Try to allocate within constraint area first. In case the area is exhausted,
try allocation at other memory locations.

The motivation for this is to limit DMA allocations to 4GB (since some
devices require addresses below 4GB). On some platforms there is little
physical RAM in this area (<1GB) and the constrainted area exhausts. In
case an IOMMU is present, RAM at higher locations can still be mapped
below 4GB, which is done in the platform drivers.

bb067f529b sculpt_manager: relax nic_drv policy label
When using the newer genode_c_api uplink library, an uplink connection uses
the device name as label, which enables integrators to use different policies
resp. routes for different devices driven by one driver. The nic_drv policy
of the nic_roouter configuration generated by the sculpt_manager however uses
an empty label like: "nic_drv -> ". This is the way how existent NIC drivers,
like ipxe_nic_drv requested their uplink session. To support both driver
variants this commit relaxes the policy by checking for a prefix only.

49b4b8597d os/pin_driver: support for time-multiplexed in/out
This patch equips the pin-driver framework with support for the
time-multiplexed operation of a pin as output or input. This is needed
when implementing I2C communication via a bit-banging driver.

To operate pin in both directions, a driver obtains both a pin-state and
a pin-control session for the same pin. The pin-state session can be
used to sense the current pin state. The control session allows the
client to set the pin to high or low (using the 'state' method), or to
set it to high-impedance via the 'yield' method. Once switched to
high-impedance, the pin can be used as input.

c83f307b62 nic_router: consider DHCP client optimization
Some DHCP clients (Debian VM in Sculpt) persistently store the last lease they
obtained and try to directly DHCP REQUEST it on a new startup whithout doing
DHCP DISCOVER beforehand. In case the NIC router doesn't know about the lease
anymore (timeout, new router instance), the router used to just ignore the DHCP
REQUEST. This led to significant delays in the network startup of the client
(delayed retries until give-up and DHCP DISCOVER). With this commit, the router
answers such packets with a DHCP NAK instead, causing the client to directly
switch to DHCP DISCOVER.

On-demand initialization prevents read-write operations on BARs of

f81f075670 sculpt: allow for dynamic managed/system state
Until now, the /config/system ROM was not handled by the sculpt manager
but solely managed by the user. Its main purpose was the ability to
reset or power-down the machine by manually modifying the 'state'
attribute. However, down the road, we'd like to enable the sculpt
manager to drive this state, e.g., to implement the multi-staged
loading of drivers, or to drive suspend-resume states.

The support such scenarios, the 'system' state has been moved from
/config/system to /config/managed/system.

665a551fcd base-hw & cortex_a9: consider timer IRQ unreliable
On some Cortex A9 platforms (Qemu 4.2.1 PBXA9), the IRQ status register is not
reliable. Sometimes, it indicates an IRQ too early, i.e., shortly before the
counter wraps. Therefore we have to accomplish wrap detection via counter
comparison only. We check whether the current counter value is higher than the
start counter value of the current timeout.

However, this implies that we have to take care to always read out the counter
before it hits the max timout value again. And, therefore, the max timeout
value has to be far away from the first value the counter has after wrapping.
Consequently, we propagate a max timeout value of half the max counter value.

c23b74e150 base-hw: problems with timeout lib in src recipe
This commit fixes two issues with the timeout lib and the base-hw src recipe:

* Add source files of timeout lib to recipe content.
  The files weren't copied to the depot until now. However, the archive
  nonetheless built successfully because of the second issue that is described
  below.

* Get rid of the usage of the BASE_DIR variable in the timeout lib.
  The BASE_DIR variable always resolves to the repos/base directory even when
  building in a depot. That said, the use of BASE_DIR in make-files that are
  not part of the build system itself must be avoided. Instead, REP_DIR,
  REP_INC_DIR, and $(call select_from_repositories, ...) should be used.

8bccc6e68f cached_fs_rom: increase fs buffer size to 4 MiB
The default file-system communication-buffer size of 128 KiB combined
with the clamping of requests to 1/4th the buffer size results in the
fragementation of read operations into 32 KiB chunks. This is overly
conservative and causes high context-switch overhead down the storage
stack (vfs server -> part_block -> block driver).

99254b4d52 nic_router: bind link state to remote DNS config
The NIC router README claims that the 'dns_config_from' attribute in a DHCP
server configuration binds the propagated link state of all interfaces at the
domain of the server to the validity of the IP config of the domain that is
given through 'dns_config_from'.

However, this was not true. The router missed to implement this detail which
led to clients of such a DHCP server sending DHCP DISCOVER packets too early.
These early DHCP DISCOVER packets were dropped by the router potentially
causing a big delay until the client started a new attempt. Unnecessary long
network boot-up delays were observed with at least the lwip run script and
Sculpt on the PinePhone and could be tracked down to this former
inconsistency in the router.

This commit fixes the inconsistency.

b4441bff04 depot_query: remove ineffective caches
Upon closer inspection of real-world access patterns, it turns out that
the 'Stat_cache' and 'Cached_rom_query' are not as effective as hoped
for because cache hits are rare while querying pkg blueprints.

However, by increasing the initial size of the blueprint reporter from 4
KiB (default) to 64 KiB has a great effect. With the small default
report size, the querying of blueprints is repeated until the buffer
size suffices, incrementing the buffer size by 4 KiB in each iteration.

6df66a77d0 sculpt: avoid superfluous depot queries
This patch avoids repetitive depot queries at the start of the Sculpt
system.

We don't need to trigger a query unconditionally whenever the
managed/deploy changes because the call of 'handle_deploy' triggers a
query when needed.

We don't need to trigger a query once the prepare step is completed
because the depot_query component is spawned at this point. The initial
blueprint produced by the depot_query component, in turn, triggers the
'handle_deploy' mechanics in the sculpt manager.

The constructor of the Sculpt manager's 'Main' does not need to call
'depot_deploy' because the prepare step - which is a precondition for
the deployment - cannot be completed at this point anyway.

907641f6ea lx_fs: improve safety when using dir handles
This patch consolidates the repetitive error handling across the RPC
functions, which take node handles or directory handles as arguments.

During this change, I noticed that directory handles - which are values
provided by the client - were not checked for their type before being
used. A misbehaving client may open a file, manually construct a
directory handle using the number of the file handle, and invoke a
directory operation at lx_fs, which would then wrongly access a file
node as directory node.

This patch solves this issue by introducing two distinct methods
_with_open_node and _with_open_dir_node, which perform the respective
safety checks.

79cc9af212 nic_router: intf. con/destruct reports link state
Creating and destructing an interface was not considered a change of its real
link state as defined in the description of the <report link_state_triggers="">
config attribute in the router's README. In case of Uplink sessions this is
obviously a problem as they communicate their real link state through session
lifetime. But also in case of NIC sessions it's a possible to create an
interface that is immediately "up" after creation or destruct an interface
without its link state going "down" beforehand.

Taking into account also the practical application of the
<report link_state_triggers=""> attribute, reporting only on destruction and
construction of interfaces that are "up" seems shorthanded. This is because a
report-receiver most likely needs to be able to synchronize the lifetime of
the objects that keep track of the link states with the lifetime of the
corresponding sessions.

That said, with this commit, the router triggers a report update on each
session construction/destruction when <report link_state_triggers=""> is
set.

aff1db1543 nic_router: generate reports asynchronously
The NIC router used to generate reports triggered by IP config changes or link
state changes synchonously, i.e., inline with the activation context that
caused the change. This has two disadvantages. First, it can lead to an
excessive number of report updates in situations with quick bursts of
triggering changes. In such situations it is preferable to collect the changes
and reflect them with only one final report update.

Second, synchronous reporting may happen while the router is in a state that
leads to an incorrect report (e.g. during reconfiguration). To prevent this
from happening, the router so far explicitely switched off reporting when
entering incoherent states and back on when leaving them. However, this
solution is error-prone as the exclusion windows must be maintained manually.

Both issues can be solved by not directly generating a report when necessary
but instead submitting a signal and letting the signal handler do the work in
a dedicated activation context.

cc9368ccb4 os: add File_system_session::num_entries RPC
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.

Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!

With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.

b82d83e271 nic_router: handle bad DNS in DHCP ACK gracefully
The DHCP client of the NIC router used to end up in an uncaught exception if
an IP address in the DNS server option of a DHCP ACK was invalid. This commit
makes the 'Dns_server' constructor (where the exception originated from)
private and instead introduces a public lambda method 'construct' that calls
one lambda argument on success and another on failure. This is also in line
with the most recent changes to the 'find_by_*' methods of other classes in
the NIC router and contributes to the goal of reducing expensive exception
handling.

054990aafa nic_router: fix net session aliases
The Interface class of the router is an abstraction for NIC client sessions,
NIC server sessions, and Uplink sessions. Nonetheless, Interface generally used
to use the packet stream types of the Nic namespace and it worked because the
Uplink packet stream types are factually the same (the are typedef'd from the
same base type templates with the same parameters).

The initial intention of this issue was to remove dependency on the diverse
packet stream stream types from Interface. However, this turned out to be more
tricky than thought. The Interface class calls function templates on the packet
stream types, making a generic virtual interface impossible. And moving the
calling code to the session classes as well would produce a lot of redundancy.

Therefore, this commit removes only the use of the Nic namespace in the
interface.* files by typedef'ing the packet stream types from the generic
Genode type templates with the same parameters as in Nic and Uplink.

NOVA, the default value applied by the run tool is 'performance'. when running
on any other kernel, the default value of Bender ('off') is used. Therefore,

7be98166ee run: improve 'build_boot_image [build_artifacts]'
This patch make the use of the result of the 'build_artifacts' function
as input for 'build_boot_image' more robust. Since 'build_artifacts'
obtains binary names from the progress.log, the names of core,
ld.lib.so, and the timer correspond to the kernel-specific names.

However, 'build_boot_image' expects the kernel-agnostic names as
arguments. Kernel-specific files need special treatment when integrated
in the boot image: the kernel-specific file is copied and renamed to the
kernel-agnostic name. Without this patch, the kernel-specific file is
copied as is (e.g., ld-nova.lib.so). So the name of the ROM module is
wrong. This patch resets the kernel-specific names to the generic names
so that the special-case handling comes into effect.

c560285d88 build: support library builds via lib/<libname>
This patch adds special handling for lib/<libname> arguments to the
build system, which supersedes the former LIB=<libname> mechanism.
Whereas the old mechanism was limited to a single library, the new
convention allows multiple library arguments, similar to regular
targets. The change brings the two immediate benefits.

First, the streamlining of library and target arguments allows for the
building of libraries via the 'build' command of the run tool.

Second, it alleviates the need for pseudo target.mk files for building
shared libraries that have no direct dependencies, in particular VFS
plugins.

Since this change eases the explicit creation of shared libraries
from run scripts, we may reconsider the automatic implicit building
of shared libraries driven by targets. E.g., while developing a Qt
application, a run script could import the Qt libraries from the
depot and combine those with the developed (fresh built) target without
triggering the build of the Qt libraries in the build directory.

When issueing 'make' without arguments, all targets are built. This
patch applies this behavior to libraries as well, thereby removing the
need for the base/src/lib/target.mk pseudo target as used by the CI
tools to build all libraries.

Note that target.mk files located under src/lib/ are no longer
reachable. Therefore, all run scripts that used to trigger the
build of a shared library via a pseudo target must be adapted.
E.g., 'build lib/vfs/tap' must be replaced by 'build lib/vfs_tap'.

With this patch, the LIB=<libname> option is no longer supported.

This patch enhances menu_view with the optional configuration attributes

argument at construction time.

The 'background' attribute can be specified to define the reset color of
the GUI buffer. It alleviates the need to create a frame widget for the
top level.

The patch also switches the optimization level for compiling menu_view

697d2e86d7 sculpt: add modem support via USB net
This patch adds principle support for using a USB-net modem as
mobile-data uplink. The change is motivated by the upcoming phone
manager for the PinePhone where the modem serves as the primary network
uplink. For the regular PC version of Sculpt, the feature is not needed
(hence remains disabled) because USB net can be deployed from a package
as described in:

  https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2021-07-21-mobile-network

The patch also renames the "Local" network option to "Disconnected" to
be more intuitive.

4f4f270d35 sculpt.run: expose leitzentrale state to manager
This patch allows the sculpt manager hosted in the leitzentrale

gui_fader for switching between both views. In particular, the
upcoming phone_manager toggles the visibility of its own GUI
depending on the leitzentrale state.

8b85eb9b34 sculpt.run: customize initial /config/managed/
In a Sculpt system based on the upcoming phone_manager, the event filter
obtains its static configuration from /config/managed/event_filter.
Without the requirement for changes at runtime, there is no need to
have the phone_manager in the loop after all.

Without this patch however, this file was always initialized with the
template gems/sculpt/event_filter/default, which was presumably used
only at boot time until the sculpt manager has produced the first
generated event-filter configuration.

This patch applies the choice of optional configs - i.e., a custom
event_filter config - to both the config/ and the initial content of
config/managed/. So in cases where the /config/managed/event_filter
remains entirely static, the latter properly reflects the choosen
variant.

8f228e3035 nic_router: no ICMP on unroutable IPv4 multicast
The NIC router used to send an ICMP "Destination Unreachable" packet as
response to every unroutable IPv4 packet. However, RFC 1812 section 4.3.2.7
defines certain properties that must be fullfilled by an incoming packet in
order to be answered with this type of ICMP. One requirement is that the packet
is no IPv4 multicast.

This commit prevents sending the mentioned ICMP response for unroutable IPv4
multicasts and instead drops them silently.

a4ec06a3b7 nic_router: no empty DNS servers opt in DHCP reply
The NIC router used to add the DNS servers field to DHCP replies regardless of
whether there were DNS servers or not. As reported by a Genode user, the empty
DNS server field irritated at least Windows 10 guests (Vbox 6) that connected
to the NIC router. This resulted in Windows 10 ignoring DHCP offers from the
router with such characteristic.

With this commit adding the DNS server DHCP option is skipped if there are no
DNS servers at the corresponding DHCP server or the domain IP config the server
shall fetch its DNS servers from.

a6a856cb70 dde_ipxe: fix allocation errors under high TX load
Under high TX load, 'irq_handler()' is rarely executed but packets
are still received since 'netdev_poll()' is called for every TX packet.

'netdev_poll()' not only handles completed transmissions but also
puts the IO buffers of received packets into the RX queue and refills the RX
ring by allocating more IO buffers. However, the IO buffers can only be freed
after they have been dequeued and passed to the 'rx_callback()'. Since
this was only done by 'irq_handler()', we exhaust the slab allocator
under high TX load.

A fix for this is to process the RX queue not only in the IRQ handler
but also when transmitting packets.

e32157e21b nic_router: packet allocation w/o exceptions
In overload situations, i.e. when a sender fills up the entire buffer, we land
in situations where the sender receives an ack_avail signal, releases one
packet, allocates and sends a packet and fails to allocate a second packet.
This is especially relevant if the receiver does not batch ack_avail signals
(such as vfs_lwip). In those ping-pong scheduling scenarios, the overhead from
catching the Packet_alloc_failed exception becomes significant. In case of the
NIC router, we will land in an overload situation if the sender is faster than
the receiver. The packet buffer will be filled up at some point and the NIC
router starts to drop packets. For every dropped packet, we currently have to
catch the Packet_alloc_failed exception.

This commit adds a new method alloc_packet_attempt to Packet_stream_source that
has almost the same signature as the older alloc_packet method but returns
an Attempt<Packet_descriptor, Alloc_packet_error> object. As the method already
used the allocator back end exception-less, changes on lower levels were not
needed. Furthermore, the NIC router was modified to use the new exception-less
alloc_packet_attempt instead of alloc_packet.

433029c3a6 nic_router: find ARP cache entries w/o exceptions
Replaces the former implementation of the 'find_by_ip' method at the data
structure for ARP cache entries. This method used to return a reference to the
found object and threw an exception if no matching object was found.

The new implementation doesn't return anything and doesn't throw exceptions. It
takes two lambda arguments instead. One for handling the case that a match was
found with a reference to the matching object as argument and another for
handling the case that no object matches.

This way, expensive exception handling can be avoided and object references
stay in a local scope.

and will allow us to share the same back end for folding, once we implement
incremental updating of internet checksums.

07d4a7c11f nic_router: no IPv4 checksum update on ICMP echo
When sending an ICMP ECHO reply, the router merely swaps SRC and DST of the
IPv4 header of the corresponding request and these changes cancel each other
out in checksum calculation. Therefore, with this commit, the router skips
updating the IPv4 checksum in this context.

95b3b36cd9 nic_router: update checksums only once per packet
The NIC router used to update IPv4 and layer 4 checksums of a packet for each
interface it was sent to (say, all interfaces of the domain the packet was
routed to). However, there was and is no technical reason for not doing it
only once and then iterating over the interfaces with the already updated
packet. This is what this commit does in an intent to raise the router's
performance.

01c9c32573 nic_router: relax timer accuracy for timestamps
The NIC router uses the timer for relatively coarse-grained timeouts.
It therefore suffices to update and store the current time when the NIC router
is signalled and use the cached time instead. This prevents frequent
syscalls or RPCs when acquiring the current time for every packet.

6a308dacd7 packet_stream: always emit ack_avail
When using signal batching, ack_avail and packet_avail should always
be emitted and preferred over ready_to_submit and ready_to_ack.
A signal receiver might decide to not register the ready_to_* signals when it
handles congestion by dropping packets. The Nic router is an example of
such a signal receiver.

d5b1d9466a nic_router: clear ARP cache when domain is down
Whenever a domain looses all its interfaces or the link state of all attached
interfaces is down at once, the domain potentially moves to another Ethernet
segment and should therefore consider its ARP cache to be outdated.

RFC 826 states that "... If a host moves, any connections initiated by that
host will work, assuming its own address resolution table is cleared when it
moves. ...".

Therefore, this commit introduces clearing the ARP cache and the initially
stated events.

This commit was motivated by an issue with the PinePhone Modem and USB NIC.
On the PinePhone, the Modem has its own OS and acts as direct gateway to the
outer world for the USB NIC that is driven by Genode. However, whenever the
Modem gets restarted, Modem and USB NIC receive a new MAC address. This used
to conflict with the NIC routers ARP entry for the Modem that didn't cease to
be valid.

With this commit, the integrator of such a scenario at least has a convenient
way of fixing this by ensuring that all interfaces at the USB NIC domain go
down when resetting (e.g. by ensuring that the USB NIC is the only interface at
that domain).

925d229d67 nic_router: find AVL string nodes w/o exceptions
Replaces the former use of the 'find_by_name' method of the AVL string tree.
This method returned a reference to the found object and threw an exception if
no matching object was found.

The locally implemented replacement doesn't return anything and doesn't throw
exceptions. It takes two lambda arguments instead. One for handling the case
that a match was found with a reference to the matching object as argument and
another for handling the case that no object matches.

This way, expensive exception handling can be avoided and object references
stay in a local scope.

Furthermore, this commit modifies the local wrapper for the  insert method of
the AVL string tree, so, that it follows the above mentioned concept as well.

harmful as it forces the usage of the user stack for the driver.
All code depending on this distinction should only be executed
from within the pthread.

In that case the sculpt run-script reminds you, and prints the package

88118b133a intel_fb: request copy of Intel opregion
acpica and the Intel display driver tries to use the Intel Opregion
simultaneously on Genode, which is not supported nor wanted for IO_MEM region as
which it is handled.

Attempts to remove the access to the region was not successful, since some
SSDT table contains ACPI AML code which is executed regularly and read/write
the Opregion.

The patch adds support to read in a copy of the Intel Opregion done by the
acpi_drv component. The copy was sufficient to make the Intel display driver
working to find and lookup the Intel VBT (video bios table) information to
setup all connectors on a Fujitsu U7411 docking station.

f4f2b456b6 base-hw: invalidate VM TLB entries in deletion
This commit introduces a hypervisor calling interface. The host kernel can
use it to either switch to a guest VM, or to invalidate the TLB with
regard to a specified VM id.
The VM-specific TLB invalidation is called whenever a VM (Vcpu)

d6592ca2cb base-hw: unset deleted PD values in MMU
When a PD gets deleted check whether it is active on the current CPU resp. MMU.
If yes, switch to core/kernel's PD to prevent that invalid page-tables or
address-space IDs are still in use. Moreover, whenever we switch to an idle
thread, we switch to kernel/core's PD too. Thereby, we prevent that vanished
PDs are still active on CPUs different from the one, where the core entrypoint
is active, which does the PD deletion.
This whole scheme is only valid under the assumption that core has only one
entrypoint running on one CPU.

We locally disable 'address-of-packed-member' warnings because GCC complained
about possible alignment issues when returning a reference to a packed member
as naturally aligned pointer (for some reason only on arm_v8a). We know that
the member is aligned to NETDEV_ALIGN via __attribute__ and that the warning
is therefor unnecessary.

48e396913c wireguard: don't always rebuild device.c/netlink.c
We have to correct the CC_OPT_* variable for these files and used to do so via
phony pre-requisite for the corresponding object files because the correction
had to take place after the variable initialization in
import-lx_emul_common.inc and before the creation of the object files. However,
this caused the objects to always rebuild.

This commit fixes this issue by using Make's feature of target-specific
variables instead. The drawback of this solution is that we can no longer
override CC_OPT_* with a modification of its original value but instead have to
override with a completely new value. This is because otherwise, Make would
either complain about recursive assignment or produce an empty value.

36d2374ff9 wireguard: exit on invalid configurations
With this commit, the WireGuard component exits with a descriptive uncaught
exception on invalid configurations or when the user attempts to re-configure
attributes that are not re-configurable (private_key, listen_port, interface).

This is particularly important when it comes to the not re-configurable private
key. If the component would just ignore the attempt to override the private
key, the user may come to believe that his old (potentially compromised)
private key is not in use anymore.

The fact that the component now exits instead shouldn't be a problem, as the
user would have to restart the component anyway in order to apply the new
attribute values.

The commit also extends the wg_reconfig run script to test that WireGuard
exits on the attempt to re-configure the private key.

I used to set the peer flags to 2 when adding a peer but merely because I

'WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS' and is ignored whenever the peer is new. Anyway,
I keep setting the flag but with the clearer enum name because the wg tool is
doing it as well when adding new peers and we want to stay close to how the
original code interacts.

Build description files that feature both an actual target and
CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS happen to re-link the target each time whenever one
of the CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS is phony, e.g., gems/src/app/menu_view/.
The re-linking of the actual target is of course not desired. By
triggering the creation of CUSTOM_TARGET_DEPS from 'all:' instead of
'$(TARGET)', the specified files do not implicitly become link
dependencies of the target.

83408ef35c wireguard: rename wireguard lib
The wireguard library's purpose is having a separate INC_DIR setting for the
files that need Linux include paths that would clash with Genode include paths.
Therefore, the name wireguard_lx_inc_dirs is more descriptive. Furthermore,
this allows us to create a new arch-specific wireguard lib in a future commit
in the course of preventing arch-specific target.mk's (a commonly used
approach in Genode).

The driver wrongfully disabled all APs if it was configured with an
auto-connect list containing multiple APs when one of those was
disabled as a result of using wrong credentials.

This commit changes the way network enable- and disablement are
handled by only operating on the given access-point in question.

There is a race between the trace subject doing the buffer
initialization and the monitor trying to iterate the buffer entries. If
the monitor tries to iterate entries of an uninitialized buffer, it will
read the very first entry twice. The monitor should therefore only start
iteration when the buffer has been initialised.

03349f9fff lx_emul/random: re-seed the local PRNG regularly
With this commit, the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG in lx_emul/random.cc gets wrapped
by a new class that automatically re-seeds the PRNG with jitterentropy every
1024 * 1024 + random(0..4095) bytes of generated output.

ab0bce77ec lx_emul & wireguard & wifi: centralized random.cc
Both the Wifi driver and the WireGuard port used local implementations for
their source of randomness. Wifi used a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG for rapid generation
of random values but initialized this PRNG always with the same static seed
value. WireGuard, in contrast, requested each random byte directly from the
jitterentropy lib, which is considered to be very time intensive.

This commit removes the local variants of random.cc and introduces a new
centralized lx_emul/random.cc . The new variant combines the former approaches,
so, that jitterentropy is accessed only in order to generate a random seed for
a Xoroshiro128+ PRNG. Front-end requests for random values are then fulfilled
efficiently via the PRNG.

:Warning:

The output of the Xoroshiro128+ PRNG that is used in the new implementation of
the lx_emul randomness functions has known statistical problems (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoroshiro128%2B#Statistical_Quality).
Furthermore, the integration of Xoroshir128+ with the lx_emul code was not
reviewed/audited for its security-related properties, so far, and has the
known deficiency of seeding the PRNG only once during initialization. Thus,
we strongly advise against the use of the lx_emul randomness functions for
security-critical purposes.

a845dffa63 dde_linux: port of WireGuard kernel module
A userland component that ports the Linux WireGuard kernel module (originally
from kernel version 5.14.21) and integrates it via a NIC session (public
network side) and an Uplink session (private network side). The
WireGuard-specific device configuration is done through the component
configuration. The port is done using lx_emul, lx_kit and the virt_linux
targets. The commit adds also 4 corresponding run scripts of which 3 are fully
automated of which 1 is added to the autopilot.

:Warning:

Although in principal functioning, the WireGuard port has not been exposed to a
sufficient amount of real-world testing, so far. Therefore, we strongly
recommend not to use it in any security-critical scenarios! There is no
guarantee that the port meets any of the security goals pursued by the
WireGuard protocol or other WireGuard implementations!

* Adds a method to cast raw data to an IPv4 packet. This is required in the
  port in order to check values in stand-alone IP packets produced by the

  having to convert to little endian in the app and then back to big endian in

Instead of each driver providing its own header file use a central
header as the initcall order header should cover _all_ provided
initcalls resulting from the used 'pc_linux' kernel config.

Note that the 'pc_linux' configuration was extended with the
'USB_USBNET' option because the module's initcall is needed for the
Genode C API for USB glue-code and the 'PACKET' option needed by
the wireless lan driver.

The lack of theses options was not noticed as each driver used its

de7fdd3e1a platform_drv: wait for device's availability
Instead of returning an invalid device capability when a device
is (not yet) available, e.g. a PCI device is requested before the
PCI bus got parsed accordingly, we check the device capability
within the Platform::Connection utilities, and register temporarily
an Io_signal_handler to wait for changes of the devices ROM, and
try the device aquisition again. Thereby, simple drivers so not have
to take the burden to do so.

To enable this feature for all drivers, we always have to export a
devices ROM, but limit the information about physical resources
(I/O memory addresses, IRQ numbers, I/O port ranges) to clients with
'info=yes' in their policy description.

f032bdf81c legacy_platform_drv: configurable PCI BAR remapping
If PCI devices happen to miss complete configuration after boot, the
platform driver supports <pci-fixup> nodes for concrete devices
(specified by bus-device-functions tuples). The
<bar> node instructs the platform driver to remap BAR id 0 to address
0x4017002000, which amends the BIOS configuration and is stringently
required for BARs with address 0.

! <pci-fixup bus="0" device="0x15" function="3">
!   <bar id="0" address="0x4017002000"/>
! </pci-fixup>

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.

* 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

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).

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)

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

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.

trace logger now generates tabular output as follows.

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

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'.

494f881f27 core: don't use frame 0 for managing_system pd
When a PD owns the right to ask for a RAM dataspace's `dma_addr` it is
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

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.

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.

Switch the code to 0 lengh array instead. The code in
Lru_cache::element_size calls sizeof on this structure. This works in

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

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.

3b8fe1b410 nitpicker: reflect seq number in clicked report
This patch makes nitpicker's "clicked" report useful for the detection
of clicks outside of any client. This is needed in situations where the
dialog should close when clicking outside its screen area. In the new
version, a click outside any client results in a report without a
'label' attribute. Furthermore, the report is augmented by the sequence
number of the click, which allows for freshness checks by the consumer of
the report (i.e., sculpt_manager).

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.

condition is rather exceptional. However, when printed during the

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.

Similarly, packets received from the Uplink session are not copied to a

a a custom packet_avail handler is needed.

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

567b9dfa39 libdrm/iris: use VFS/GPU plugin

b3e12dcece vfs_gpu: VFS plugin that handles GPU completions
When a <gpu> node is present in the VFS, the plugin opens a
Gpu::Connection for each open call to the 'gpu' node and installs a
completion signal handler. A read only to the fd returned only comes
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)
field of the stat buffer.

94121e7cd7 uplink_client_base: no deref of invalid connection
Imagine receiving the signal for an available TX ack or an available RX packet
at the Uplink connection but a later received signal for a link-state change
(to link state "down") at the same connection is handled first and destructs
the Uplink connection before the handling of the former signals. In this case,
the methods 'Uplink_client_base::_conn_tx_handle_ack_avail' and
'Uplink_client_base::_conn_rx_handle_packet_avail' must be guarded against an
unconstructed '_conn' member, but they weren't so far.

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.

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!

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.

  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.

1a9fad4022 virtio_nic: Tweak default buffer sizes.
After VirtIO::Queue refactoring buffers no longer share the same
dataspace as VirtIO rings. This makes optimal buffer calculations a lot
easier. In this case 64 buffers 2kB each will need precisely 128kB of
RAM. Previous value of 2016 will just waste 768b.

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.

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.

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.

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,

4df7e6adde util/list_model.h: Add update_list_model_from_xml
The new 'update_list_model_from_xml' function template simplifies the
use of the list model utility by alleviating the need for implementing a
custom policy class for each model. Instead, the transformation is done
using a few lambda functions given directly as arguments.

449f647e58 dde_linux: lx_emul interface for GPIO pin access

simple C API.

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.

522a1cdc5b tool/run: read board-specific qemu args from file
Allow specifying additional qemu arguments for externally supported boards
(e.g. zynq_qemu) by adding a `qemu_args` file in the board-property directory.

The syntax of the qemu_args file is as follows:
- Arguments can appear in a single line or in multiple lines as the
  lines will be appended (separated by a whitespace) to the global
  qemu_args variable.
- If the line is prepended with a `foobar:` expression. The arguments
  are only added if the foobar spec is present.

Note, that a `-m` argument specified in the qemu_args file will
override the arguments provided by the run scripts.

c0c2ed2bf5 tool/run: make qemu RAM sanity check more robust
First, the former implementation has only considered the pure numerical
variant of the -m argument. Yet, qemu also allows specifying the amount
of memory by `-m 1G`, `-m size=1G` and more.

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.

6ecae6adb3 qemu-usb: increase USB2/3 root ports to 8 each
In the default setting the number of root ports is set to 4. This
also limits the number of USB host devices that may be attached to
the VM. Since the USB webcam shares the slots, that leaves us with
only 3 available USB2 slots to attach USB host devices. Depending on
the use-case that might not be enough.

This commit statically increases the number of ports to 8 each and
adapts the qemu-usb glue-code accordingly.

Many thanks to Raphael for initial investigation and workaround.

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.

Fixes #4284.

f6d845e630 gpu: reflect CAP shortage during buffer management
Allocating and mapping buffers not only consumes RAM quota, it consumes
CAP quota as well. Extended the Gpu session to allow for dealing with
that on the client side.

On a side note, the amount of initial CAP quota needed to establish
a connection is increased to cover the current costs of the Intel
GPU multiplexer.

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.

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.

It's sufficient to access the boot info only on kernel initialization time.
Therfore, it can remain completely hidden to the rest of the kernel inside

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
Main instance itself.

a9563bfd4c base-hw: rename Core_thread Core_main_thread
The class name Core_thread in Kernel for the object of the first thread of
core is too generic as there can be an arbitrary number of threads in core
besides this one. Furthermore, creating a core thread has its own syscall
'new_core_thread' that isn't related in any way to Core_thread. Therefore
this commit introduces the more specific name Core_main_thread as replacement
for Core_thread.

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.

aa6a7db50a base-hw: communicate kernel irqs via boot info
Core used to read the kernel-reserved IRQs from the timer objects in the
kernel's CPU objects and the PIC class (inter-processor IRQ). Besides not
being "good style" to access a kernel object in Core, this becomes a problem
when trying to prevent CPU pool from being accessed via global functions.

As a solution, this commit extends the boot info to also carry an array of all
kernel-reserved IRQs.

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, ...);

cacb83b163 gpu: introduce mapping attributes
The various mapping methods are modelled after the requirements of
the Intel GPUs or rather the Mesa driver back end.

With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to
sequeeze their requirements in as well. For now hijack 'map_buffer'
to provide for specifying the kind of attributes the client needs.

For now all buffers mapped in the GGTT for Intel GPUs are treated
as RW.

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.

e37792ce94 gpu: introduce information dataspace
The current info implementation (as RPC) is limited in a few ways:

  * The amount of data that may be transferred is constrained by the
    underlying base platform
  * Most information never changes during run time but is copied
    nonetheless
  * 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
and GPU-specific header file, e.g., 'gpu/info_intel.h'

60980045ea virtio_nic: Increase default TX & RX virtqueue sizes.
32KB is a rather small value. The driver can cope with it now, but

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.

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.

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.

c95af254f4 lx_emul: sanitize size 0 for __kmalloc
Driver code such as mfd-core.c may pass 0 as argument n to kcalloc,
which eventually results in an allocation size 0.

  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.

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 ...)

states that the addresses should be listed within one option 6 field without

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.

06a4608f4a nic_router: report dropped fragmented IPv4
If the new attribute 'dropped_fragm_ipv4' of the <report> tag in the NIC router
config is set "yes", the router will report the number of packets that were
dropped per interface respectively domain because fragmented IPv4 is not
supported. The default is not to report the counter. 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().

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.

2afae7e7c1 nic_router: uncaught exc. on handling link state
An interface that received a signal for a link-state change accessed its
domain reference without assuming that it could not be attached to a domain
at that moment. This caused the NIC router to crash with an uncaught exception
of type 'Net::Pointer<Net::Domain>::Invalid'. The commit adds a catch
directive for this exception resulting in the handler doing nothing if not
attached to any domain.

d06773b957 run/tz_vmm: remove usb_armory support
The test script failed during preparation of the on-target execution for
USB Armory with the following error:

! can't read "tz_vmm_block_irq": no such variable

Presumably, the script wasn't run anymore since the introduction of the
'tz_vmm_block_irq' variable for i.MX53 QSB. As we do not have infrastructure
for automated testing of the USB Armory and there seems to be not much
interest in using Genode on this platform, this commit simply removes the
support from the script.

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.

1aba330ae6 dde_linux: fix packet size calc. of Nic drivers
skb_push() already increases the skb->len by ETH_HLEN, hence adding
ETH_HLEN to the packet_size is redundant.

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.
Since this is larger than what we expect for good-old Ethernet (max. 1522),
some clients (e.g. the e1000 model in vbox5) may drop these packets.

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).

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.

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.

caps="rom" mode. These spurious events may reach the VMM if KEY_CAPSLOCK
is not pressed as first key in a combination and, therefore, is not
filtered as global key. We filter KEY_CAPSLOCK in ROM mode in the VMM
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.

  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().

The old port version contained '*.ali' files that were build with an older GCC
which led to problems when compiling packages that use the port with the new
GCC 10. The '*.ali' files of the new port version were generated with GCC 10.

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.

2f9d430c00 base-linux: 64-bit ARM support
This patch adds support for running Genode/Linux on the AARCH64

  capture the initial stack pointer, which the Linux kernel uses
  to pass the process environment. This is in line with the
  existing startup code for x86_32 and x86_64.

- The link order of the host libraries linked to lx_hybrid
  programs had to be adjusted such that libgcc appears at last
  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.

1c49da8ce4 terminal: don't overwrite last column until eol
Introduce a new _overflowed state variable to indicate whether the
horizontal boundary was reached already and to omit subsequent character
output.

This state is necessary to maintain a valid cursor position at all
times. The _overflowed attribute is reset once the cursor is moved into
a valid position again.

To harmonise the bounds checking for _cursor_pos modifications, the
`constrain()` method was added.

Fixes genodelabs/genode#4093

Also fixes a bug in `vpa()` and `vpb()` which moved the cursor
horizontally instead of vertically.

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.

d73eaaa14c libc: exclude arm_initfini.c
This compilation unit contains a global constructor, which violates our
assumption that the libc is free of global constructors on ARMv7.
Specifically, the graphical terminal fails with the following message:

[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.

This patch makes the GDB monitor less reliant on the way of how the

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.

8f1db47c26 sculpt: screen capturing and event injection
This patch adds session-routing options to connect components to the
capture/event interfaces of the global nitpicker GUI server or the
leitzentrale GUI server. It thereby enables the implementation of screen
capturing components, remote management tools, or virtual keyboards.

Since those services are very powerful, they are subsumed under the
"hardware" category of the component graph as opposed to the GUI
category, which guarantees the separation of clients.

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.

f68e655312 mk: link core to library archive instead of .o file
Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.

ce31c90bc3 run/netperf.inc: fix problem with reused ports
It seems that with the nigthly autopilot the data port (that is choosen by the
client) may stay some time (minutes) allocated after the a test run. This
causes successive tests to fail when trying to reuse the port.

* Use a unique data port for each target platform in the range of 18000-18099.
* Add documentation on how to prepare for running the test on a Linux target.
* Remove Qemu-specific code paths as Qemu isn't supported anymore by the script
  since the introduction of the Uplink session (running with a NIC router on
  Qemu was never supported and now we always need a NIC router).

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.

a6f0b05834 usb_host: properly handle ISOC read requests

* Copy the whole transfer buffer because the host controller stores
  the data at the original offsets, i.e., the buffer is not densely
  packed.

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.

8f6b934caa base-hw: Fully define _crt0_start_stack value on arm_64
The _crt0_start_stack label points to a memory location containing the
size of the bootstrap stack. On AArch64 this should be an 8 byte value,
but the code only only defines half of those using asm .long statement.
The other half is expected to be 0, which is true when using GNU as.
This is not the case when using clang's integrated as however. Since
_crt0_stack_size is defined inside .text section clang uses 0xd503201f
value (aarch64 nop instruction) to fill the extra 4 bytes.

Fix this minor incompatibility by explicitly defining both halfs of
this 8 byte quantity.

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.

checkes: one when generating the hover report, and one when submitting
the leave event. This patch enforces the invariant by suppressing any
change of 'User_state::_hovered' while in dragged state.

This commit restores the diag feature for selecting diagnostic output of
services provided by core. This feature became unavailable with commit
"base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs", which hard-wired the
diag flag for core services to false.

To control this feature, three possible policies can be expressed in a
routing target of init's configuration:

* Forcing silence by specifying 'diag="no"'
* Enabling diagnostics by specifying 'diag="yes"'
* Forwarding the preference of the client by omitting the 'diag'

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'

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.

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.

5d808cdc01 platform_drv: extend MSI-X supports
The patch handles the case, that the memory for the MSI-X table is part
of one of the Pci::Resource Memory BARs, which got allocated beforehand already.

With this commit, the platform driver will not fall back to use legacy IRQs or MSI, whereby MSI-X is available actually. Additionally, this patch avoids a lot of red
messages about non available IO-MEM printed by the roottask.

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).

Some of the SNDCTL requests, however, have the bit set.

=======================
The Genode build system
=======================
Norman Feske
Abstract
########
The Genode OS Framework comes with a custom build system that is designed for
the creation of highly modular and portable systems software. Understanding
its basic concepts is pivotal for using the full potential of the framework.
This document introduces those concepts and the best practises of putting them
to good use. Beside building software components from source code, common
and repetitive development tasks are the testing of individual components
and the integration of those components into complex system scenarios. To
streamline such tasks, the build system is accompanied with special tooling
support. This document introduces those tools.
Build directories and repositories
##################################
The build system is supposed to never touch the source tree. The procedure of
building components and integrating them into system scenarios is done at
a distinct build directory. One build directory targets a specific platform,
i.e., a kernel and hardware architecture. Because the source tree is decoupled
from the build directory, one source tree can have many different build
directories associated, each targeted at another platform.
The recommended way for creating a build directory is the use of the
'create_builddir' tool located at '<genode-dir>/tool/'. By starting the tool
without arguments, its usage information will be printed. For creating a new
build directory, one of the listed target platforms must be specified.
Furthermore, the location of the new build directory has to be specified via
the 'BUILD_DIR=' argument. For example:
! cd <genode-dir>
! ./tool/create_builddir linux_x86 BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build.linux_x86
This command will create a new build directory for the Linux/x86 platform
at _/tmp/build.linux_x86/_.
Build-directory configuration via 'build.conf'
==============================================
The fresh build directory will contain a 'Makefile', which is a symlink to
_tool/builddir/build.mk_. This makefile is the front end of the build system
and not supposed to be edited. Beside the makefile, there is a _etc/_
subdirectory that contains the build-directory configuration. For most
platforms, there is only a single _build.conf_ file, which defines the parts of
the Genode source tree incorporated in the build process. Those parts are
called _repositories_.
The repository concept allows for keeping the source code well separated for
different concerns. For example, the platform-specific code for each target
platform is located in a dedicated _base-<platform>_ repository. Also, different
abstraction levels and features of the system are residing in different
repositories. The _etc/build.conf_ file defines the set of repositories to
consider in the build process. At build time, the build system overlays the
directory structures of all repositories specified via the 'REPOSITORIES'
declaration to form a single logical source tree. By changing the list of
'REPOSITORIES', the view of the build system on the source tree can be altered.
The _etc/build.conf_ as found in a fresh created build directory will list the
_base-<platform>_ repository of the platform selected at the 'create_builddir'
command line as well as the 'base', 'os', and 'demo' repositories needed for
compiling Genode's default demonstration scenario. Furthermore, there are a
number of commented-out lines that can be uncommented for enabling additional
repositories.
Note that the order of the repositories listed in the 'REPOSITORIES' declaration
is important. Front-most repositories shadow subsequent repositories. This
makes the repository mechanism a powerful tool for tweaking existing repositories:
By adding a custom repository in front of another one, customized versions of
single files (e.g., header files or target description files) can be supplied to
the build system without changing the original repository.
Building targets
================
To build all targets contained in the list of 'REPOSITORIES' as defined in
_etc/build.conf_, simply issue 'make'. This way, all components that are
compatible with the build directory's base platform will be built. In practice,
however, only some of those components may be of interest. Hence, the build
can be tailored to those components which are of actual interest by specifying
source-code subtrees. For example, using the following command
! make core server/nitpicker
the build system builds all targets found in the 'core' and 'server/nitpicker'
source directories. You may specify any number of subtrees to the build
system. As indicated by the build output, the build system revisits
each library that is used by each target found in the specified subtrees.
This is very handy for developing libraries because instead of re-building
your library and then your library-using program, you just build your program
and that's it. This concept even works recursively, which means that libraries
may depend on other libraries.
In practice, you won't ever need to build the _whole tree_ but only the
targets that you are interested in.
Cleaning the build directory
============================
To remove all but kernel-related generated files, use
! make clean
To remove all generated files, use
! make cleanall
Both 'clean' and 'cleanall' won't remove any files from the _bin/_
subdirectory. This makes the _bin/_ a safe place for files that are
unrelated to the build process, yet required for the integration stage, e.g.,
binary data.
Controlling the verbosity of the build process
==============================================
To understand the inner workings of the build process in more detail, you can
tell the build system to display each directory change by specifying
! make VERBOSE_DIR=
If you are interested in the arguments that are passed to each invocation of
'make', you can make them visible via
! make VERBOSE_MK=
Furthermore, you can observe each single shell-command invocation by specifying
! make VERBOSE=
Of course, you can combine these verboseness toggles for maximizing the noise.
Enabling parallel builds
========================
To utilize multiple CPU cores during the build process, you may invoke 'make'
with the '-j' argument. If manually specifying this argument becomes an
inconvenience, you may add the following line to your _etc/build.conf_ file:
! MAKE += -j<N>
This way, the build system will always use '<N>' CPUs for building.
Caching inter-library dependencies
==================================
The build system allows to repeat the last build without performing any
library-dependency checks by using:
! make again
The use of this feature can significantly improve the work flow during
development because in contrast to source-codes, library dependencies rarely
change. So the time needed for re-creating inter-library dependencies at each
build can be saved.
Repository directory layout
###########################
Each Genode repository has the following layout:
Directory | Description
------------------------------------------------------------
'doc/' | Documentation, specific for the repository
------------------------------------------------------------
'etc/' | Default configuration of the build process
------------------------------------------------------------
'mk/' | The build system
------------------------------------------------------------
'include/' | Globally visible header files
------------------------------------------------------------
'src/' | Source codes and target build descriptions
------------------------------------------------------------
'lib/mk/' | Library build descriptions
Creating targets and libraries
##############################
Target descriptions
===================
A good starting point is to look at the init target. The source code of init is
located at _os/src/init/_. In this directory, you will find a target description
file named _target.mk_. This file contains the building instructions and it is
usually very simple. The build process is controlled by defining the following
variables.
Build variables to be defined by you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:'TARGET': is the name of the binary to be created. This is the
only *mandatory variable* to be defined in a _target.mk_ file.
:'REQUIRES': expresses the requirements that must be satisfied in order to
build the target. You find more details about the underlying mechanism in
Section [Specializations].
:'LIBS': is the list of libraries that are used by the target.
:'SRC_CC': contains the list of '.cc' source files. The default search location
for source codes is the directory, where the _target.mk_ file resides.
:'SRC_C': contains the list of '.c' source files.
:'SRC_S': contains the list of assembly '.s' source files.
:'SRC_BIN': contains binary data files to be linked to the target.
:'INC_DIR': is the list of include search locations. Directories should
always be appended by using +=. Never use an assignment!
:'EXT_OBJECTS': is a list of Genode-external objects or libraries. This
variable is mostly used for interfacing Genode with legacy software
components.
Rarely used variables
---------------------
:'CC_OPT': contains additional compiler options to be used for '.c' as
well as for '.cc' files.
:'CC_CXX_OPT': contains additional compiler options to be used for the
C++ compiler only.
:'CC_C_OPT': contains additional compiler options to be used for the
C compiler only.
Specifying search locations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When specifying search locations for header files via the 'INC_DIR' variable or
for source files via 'vpath', relative pathnames are illegal to use. Instead,
you can use the following variables to reference locations within the
source-code repository, where your target lives:
:'REP_DIR': is the base directory of the current source-code repository.
Normally, specifying locations relative to the base of the repository is
never used by _target.mk_ files but needed by library descriptions.
:'PRG_DIR': is the directory, where your _target.mk_ file resides. This
variable is always to be used when specifying a relative path.
Library descriptions
====================
In contrast to target descriptions that are scattered across the whole source
tree, library descriptions are located at the central place _lib/mk_. Each
library corresponds to a _<libname>.mk_ file. The base of the description file
is the name of the library. Therefore, no 'TARGET' variable needs to be set.
The source-code locations are expressed as '$(REP_DIR)'-relative 'vpath'
commands.
Library-description files support the following additional declarations:
:'SHARED_LIB = yes': declares that the library should be built as a shared
object rather than a static library. The resulting object will be called
_<libname>.lib.so_.
Specializations
===============
Building components for different platforms likely implicates portions of code
that are tied to certain aspects of the target platform. For example, a target
platform may be characterized by
* A kernel API such as L4v2, Linux, L4.sec,
* A hardware architecture such as x86, ARM, Coldfire,
* A certain hardware facility such as a custom device, or
* Other properties such as software license requirements.
Each of these attributes express a specialization of the build process. The
build system provides a generic mechanism to handle such specializations.
The _programmer_ of a software component knows the properties on which his
software relies and thus, specifies these requirements in his build description
file.
The _user/customer/builder_ decides to build software for a specific platform
and defines the platform specifics via the 'SPECS' variable per build
directory in _etc/specs.conf_. In addition to an (optional) _etc/specs.conf_
file within the build directory, the build system incorporates the first
_etc/specs.conf_ file found in the repositories as configured for the
build directory. For example, for a 'linux_x86' build directory, the
_base-linux/etc/specs.conf_ file is used by default. The build directory's
'specs.conf' file can still be used to extend the 'SPECS' declarations, for
example to enable special features.
Each '<specname>' in the 'SPECS' variable instructs the build system to
* Include the 'make'-rules of a corresponding _base/mk/spec-<specname>.mk_
file. This enables the customization of the build process for each platform.
* Search for _<libname>.mk_ files in the _lib/mk/<specname>/_ subdirectory.
This way, we can provide alternative implementations of one and the same
library interface for different platforms.
Before a target or library gets built, the build system checks if the 'REQUIRES'
entries of the build description file are satisfied by entries of the 'SPECS'
variable. The compilation is executed only if each entry in the 'REQUIRES'
variable is present in the 'SPECS' variable as supplied by the build directory
configuration.
Building tools to be executed on the host platform
===================================================
Sometimes, software requires custom tools that are used to generate source
code or other ingredients for the build process, for example IDL compilers.
Such tools won't be executed on top of Genode but on the host platform
during the build process. Hence, they must be compiled with the tool chain
installed on the host, not the Genode tool chain.
The Genode build system accommodates the building of such host tools as a side
effect of building a library or a target. Even though it is possible to add
the tool compilation step to a regular build description file, it is
recommended to introduce a dedicated pseudo library for building such tools.
This way, the rules for building host tools are kept separate from rules that
refer to Genode programs. By convention, the pseudo library should be named
_<package>_host_tools_ and the host tools should be built at
_<build-dir>/tool/<package>/_. With _<package>_, we refer to the name of the
software package the tool belongs to, e.g., qt5 or mupdf. To build a tool
named _<tool>_, the pseudo library contains a custom make rule like the
following:
! $(BUILD_BASE_DIR)/tool/<package>/<tool>:
! $(MSG_BUILD)$(notdir $@)
! $(VERBOSE)mkdir -p $(dir $@)
! $(VERBOSE)...build commands...
To let the build system trigger the rule, add the custom target to the
'HOST_TOOLS' variable:
! HOST_TOOLS += $(BUILD_BASE_DIR)/tool/<package>/<tool>
Once the pseudo library for building the host tools is in place, it can be
referenced by each target or library that relies on the respective tools via
the 'LIBS' declaration. The tool can be invoked by referring to
'$(BUILD_BASE_DIR)/tool/<package>/tool'.
For an example of using custom host tools, please refer to the mupdf package
found within the libports repository. During the build of the mupdf library,
two custom tools fontdump and cmapdump are invoked. The tools are built via
the _lib/mk/mupdf_host_tools.mk_ library description file. The actual mupdf
library (_lib/mk/mupdf.mk_) has the pseudo library 'mupdf_host_tools' listed
in its 'LIBS' declaration and refers to the tools relative to
'$(BUILD_BASE_DIR)'.
Automated integration and testing
#################################
Genode's cross-kernel portability is one of the prime features of the
framework. However, each kernel takes a different route when it comes to
configuring, integrating, and booting the system. Hence, for using a particular
kernel, profound knowledge about the boot concept and the kernel-specific tools
is required. To streamline the testing of Genode-based systems across the many
different supported kernels, the framework comes equipped with tools that
relieve you from these peculiarities.
Run scripts
===========
Using so-called run scripts, complete Genode systems can be described in a
concise and kernel-independent way. Once created, a run script can be used
to integrate and test-drive a system scenario directly from the build directory.
The best way to get acquainted with the concept is reviewing the run script
for the 'hello_tutorial' located at _hello_tutorial/run/hello.run_.
Let's revisit each step expressed in the _hello.run_ script:
* Building the components needed for the system using the 'build' command.
This command instructs the build system to compile the targets listed in
the brace block. It has the same effect as manually invoking 'make' with
the specified argument from within the build directory.
* Creating a new boot directory using the 'create_boot_directory' command.
The integration of the scenario is performed in a dedicated directory at
_<build-dir>/var/run/<run-script-name>/_. When the run script is finished,
this directory will contain all components of the final system. In the
following, we will refer to this directory as run directory.
* Installing the Genode 'config' file into the run directory using the
'install_config' command. The argument to this command will be written
to a file called 'config' at the run directory picked up by
Genode's init process.
* Creating a bootable system image using the 'build_boot_image' command.
This command copies the specified list of files from the _<build-dir>/bin/_
directory to the run directory and executes the platform-specific steps
needed to transform the content of the run directory into a bootable
form. This form depends on the actual base platform and may be an ISO
image or a bootable ELF image.
* Executing the system image using the 'run_genode_until' command. Depending
on the base platform, the system image will be executed using an emulator.
For most platforms, Qemu is the tool of choice used by default. On Linux,
the scenario is executed by starting 'core' directly from the run
directory. The 'run_genode_until' command takes a regular expression
as argument. If the log output of the scenario matches the specified
pattern, the 'run_genode_until' command returns. If specifying 'forever'
as argument (as done in 'hello.run'), this command will never return.
If a regular expression is specified, an additional argument determines
a timeout in seconds. If the regular expression does not match until
the timeout is reached, the run script will abort.
Please note that the _hello.run_ script does not contain kernel-specific
information. Therefore it can be executed from the build directory of any base
platform by using:
! make run/hello
When invoking 'make' with an argument of the form 'run/*', the build system
will look in all repositories for a run script with the specified name. The run
script must be located in one of the repositories 'run/' subdirectories and
have the file extension '.run'.
For a more comprehensive run script, _os/run/demo.run_ serves as a good
example. This run script describes Genode's default demo scenario. As seen in
'demo.run', parts of init's configuration can be made dependent on the
platform's properties expressed as spec values. For example, the PCI driver
gets included in init's configuration only on platforms with a PCI bus. For
appending conditional snippets to the _config_ file, there exists the 'append_if'
command, which takes a condition as first and the snippet as second argument.
To test for a SPEC value, the command '[have_spec <spec-value>]' is used as
condition. Analogously to how 'append_if' appends strings, there exists
'lappend_if' to append list items. The latter command is used to conditionally
include binaries to the list of boot modules passed to the 'build_boot_image'
command.
The run mechanism explained
===========================
Under the hood, run scripts are executed by an expect interpreter. When the
user invokes a run script via _make run/<run-script>_, the build system invokes
the run tool at _<genode-dir>/tool/run_ with the run script as argument. The
run tool is an expect script that has no other purpose than defining several
commands used by run scripts, including a platform-specific script snippet
called run environment ('env'), and finally including the actual run script.
Whereas _tool/run_ provides the implementations of generic and largely
platform-independent commands, the _env_ snippet included from the platform's
respective _base-<platform>/run/env_ file contains all platform-specific
commands. For reference, the most simplistic run environment is the one at
_base-linux/run/env_, which implements the 'create_boot_directory',
'install_config', 'build_boot_image', and 'run_genode_until' commands for Linux
as base platform. For the other platforms, the run environments are far more
elaborative and document precisely how the integration and boot concept works
on each platform. Hence, the _base-<platform>/run/env_ files are not only
necessary parts of Genode's tooling support but serve as resource for
peculiarities of using each kernel.
Using run script to implement test cases
========================================
Because run scripts are actually expect scripts, the whole arsenal of
language features of the Tcl scripting language is available to them. This
turns run scripts into powerful tools for the automated execution of test
cases. A good example is the run script at _libports/run/lwip.run_, which tests
the lwIP stack by running a simple Genode-based HTTP server on Qemu. It fetches
and validates a HTML page from this server. The run script makes use of a
regular expression as argument to the 'run_genode_until' command to detect the
state when the web server becomes ready, subsequently executes the 'lynx' shell
command to fetch the web site, and employs Tcl's support for regular
expressions to validate the result. The run script works across base platforms
that use Qemu as execution environment.
To get the most out of the run mechanism, a basic understanding of the Tcl
scripting language is required. Furthermore the functions provided by
_tool/run_ and _base-<platform>/run/env_ should be studied.
Automated testing across base platforms
=======================================
To execute one or multiple test cases on more than one base platform, there
exists a dedicated tool at _tool/autopilot_. Its primary purpose is the
nightly execution of test cases. The tool takes a list of platforms and of
run scripts as arguments and executes each run script on each platform. The
build directory for each platform is created at
_/tmp/autopilot.<username>/<platform>_ and the output of each run script is
written to a file called _<platform>.<run-script>.log_. On stderr, autopilot
prints the statistics about whether or not each run script executed
successfully on each platform. If at least one run script failed, autopilot
returns a non-zero exit code, which makes it straight forward to include
autopilot into an automated build-and-test environment.

the hosting of a dynamic Genode system as a component within a
CAmkES system, or the hosting of a CAmkES system composition as a Genode
subsystem.

:Support for additional ARM SoCs:
Genode's ARM support has been focused on NXP's i.MX family, Allwinner A64
(used by the PinePhone), and to a lesser degree the Raspberry Pi. To make
Genode compatible with a larger variety of devices, the support for further
chip families calls for exploration. For example,

Virtualization
##############
:VirtualBox on top of KVM on Linux:
Genode's version of VirtualBox replaces the original in-kernel VirtualBox
hypervisor by the virtualization mechanism of the NOVA hypervisor or the
Muen separation kernel. Those mechanisms look very similar the KVM
interface of the Linux kernel. It should in principle be possible to
re-target Genode's version of VirtualBox to KVM. This way, VirtualBox and
Qemu/KVM-based virtual machines could co-exist on the same system, which
is normally not possible. Also, complex Genode scenarios (like Turmvilla)
could be prototyped on GNU/Linux.
:Xen as kernel for Genode:
Using Xen as kernel for Genode would clear the way to remove the
overly complex Linux OS from the trusted computing base of Xen
guests OSes.
Xen is a hypervisor that can host multiple virtual machines on one physical
machine. For driving physical devices and for virtual-machine management, Xen
relies on a privileged guest OS called Dom0. Currently, Linux is the
predominant choice to be used as Dom0, which implicates a trusted computing
base of millions of lines of code for the other guest OSes.
Even though Xen was designed as hypervisor, a thorough analysis done by Julian
Stecklina concludes that Xen qualifies well as a kernel for Genode. For
example, Julian implemented a version of Genode's IPC framework that utilizes
Xen's communication mechanisms (event channels and shared memory).

for Mesa-based 3D-accelerated applications.
While designing Genode's GPU-session interface, we also aimed at supporting
the hardware-accelerated graphics for Genode's virtual machine monitors like
VirtualBox or Seoul, but until now, we did not took the practical steps of
implementing a virtual GPU device model.
System management and tools
###########################
The goal of this project is the offering of a virtual GPU to a Linux guest
OS running on top of Genode's existing virtualization and driver
infrastructure.
:Virtual network-boot infrastructure as Sculpt component:
Network-based development work flows for PCs require a variety of tools and
network-configuration peculiarities. Think of a development network with a
custom configured DHCP server, a TFTP or HTTP server on the development
machine, the provisioning of a PXE boot loader, tooling for obtaining serial
output over AMT, or tooling for remote power control via AMT.
Device drivers
##############
The goal of this project would be the hosting of all those functions in a
Sculpt OS component "devnet" that is exclusively in charge of a dedicated
LAN port of the developer's Sculpt machine. By connecting a test machine to
this LAN port, the test machine becomes immediately available as development
target without any manual installation or configuration steps needed. The
devnet component would interface with the rest of the Sculpt system as a
client of a file-system session (containing the boot payloads) and a
terminal session (for the virtual serial connection).
:Sound on the Raspberry Pi:
:Statistical profiler using Sculpt's GDB monitor:
The goal of this project is a component that uses the Raspberry Pi's
PWM device to implement Genode's audio-out-session interface. Since
Genode's version of libSDL already supports this interface as audio
backend, the new driver will make the sound of all SDL-based games
available on the Raspberry Pi.
:Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK):
Genode utilizes the network device drivers of the iPXE project, which
perform reasonably well for everyday use cases but are obviously not
designated for high-performance networking.
The [https://dpdk.org/ - DPDK] is a vendor-supported suite of network device
drivers that is specifically developed for high-performance applications.
It presents an attractive alternative to iPXE-based drivers. This project
has the goal to make DPDK drivers available as a Genode component.
Platforms
#########
:Microkernelizing Linux:
Thanks to Genode's generic interfaces for I/O access as provided by core, all
Genode device drivers including drivers ported from Linux and gPXE can be
executed as user-level components on all supported microkernels. However, so
far, we have not enabled the use of these device drivers on Linux as base
platform. The goal of this project is the systematic replacement of in-kernel
Linux device drivers by Genode processes running in user space, effectively
reducing the Linux kernel to a runtime for Genode's core process. But moving
drivers to Genode processes is just the beginning. By employing further
Genode functionality such as its native GUI, lwIP, and Noux, many protocol
stacks can effectively be removed from the Linux kernel.
In 2018, Johannes Kliemann pursued this topic to a state where Genode
could be used as init process atop a customized Linux kernel.
[https://lists.genode.org/pipermail/users/2018-May/006066.html - His work]
included the execution of Genode's regular device drivers for VESA and
PS/2 as regular Genode components so that Genode's interactive demo
scenario ran happily on a laptop. At this time, however, only parts of
his results were merged into Genode's mainline.
The goal of this project is to follow up on Johannes' work, bring the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/pull/2829 - remaining parts] into
shape for the inclusion into Genode, and address outstanding topics, in
particular the handling of DMA by user-level device drivers. Further down
the road, it would be tempting to explore the use of
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp - seccomp] as sandboxing mechanism
for Genode on Linux and the improvement of the Linux-specific implementation
of Genode's object-capability model.
:Support for the HelenOS/SPARTAN kernel:
[http://www.helenos.org - HelenOS] is a microkernel-based multi-server OS
developed at the university of Prague. It is based on the SPARTAN microkernel,
which runs on a wide variety of CPU architectures including Sparc, MIPS, and
PowerPC. This broad platform support makes SPARTAN an interesting kernel to
look at alone. But a further motivation is the fact that SPARTAN does not
follow the classical L4 road, providing a kernel API that comes with an own
terminology and different kernel primitives. This makes the mapping of
SPARTAN's kernel API to Genode a challenging endeavour and would provide us
with feedback regarding the universality of Genode's internal interfaces.
Finally, this project has the potential to ignite a further collaboration
between the HelenOS and Genode communities.
:Support for the XNU kernel (Darwin):
XNU is the kernel used by Darwin and Mac OS X. It is derived from the
MACH microkernel and extended with a UNIX-like syscall API. Because the
kernel is used for Mac OS X, it could represent an industry-strength
base platform for Genode supporting all CPU features as used by Mac OS X.
:Genode on the Librem5 phone hardware:
Even though there exists a great variety of ARM-based SoCs, Genode
primarily focuses on the NXP i.MX family because it is - in contrast
to most SoCs in the consumer space - very liberal in terms of
good-quality public documentation and reference code, and it scales
from industrial to end-user-facing use cases (multi-media).
The [https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ - Librem5] project - with its
mission to build a trustworthy mobile phone - has chosen the i.MX family as
the basis for their product for likely the same reasons that attract us.
To goal of this work is bringing Genode to the Librem5 hardware.
For the Librem5 project, Genode could pave the ground towards new use cases
like high-security markets where a regular Linux-based OS would not be
accepted. For the Genode community, the Librem5 hardware could become an
attractive mobile platform for everyday use, similar to how we developers
use our Genode-based [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS] on our

the system timer, the PCI configuration registers, and the interrupt
controller, which are critical for the proper operating of the kernel. The
goal of this work is to restrict the permissions of the VESA driver to a
minimum by virtualizing all devices but the actual graphics card.

Coding style guidelines for Genode
##################################
Things to avoid
===============
Please avoid using pre-processor macros. C++ provides language
features for almost any case, for which a C programmer uses
macros.
:Defining constants:
Use 'enum' instead of '#define'
! enum { MAX_COLORS = 3 };
! enum {
! COLOR_RED = 1,
! COLOR_BLUE = 2,
! COLOR_GREEN = 3
! };
:Meta programming:
Use templates instead of pre-processor macros. In contrast to macros,
templates are type-safe and fit well with the implementation syntax.
:Conditional-code inclusion:
Please avoid C-hacker style '#ifdef CONFIG_PLATFROM' - '#endif'
constructs. Instead, factor-out the encapsulated code into a
separate file and introduce a proper function interface.
The build process should then be used to select the appropriate
platform-specific files at compile time. Keep platform dependent
code as small as possible. Never pollute existing generic code
with platform-specific code.
Header of each file
===================
! /*
! * \brief Short description of the file
! * \author Original author
! * \date Creation date
! *
! * Some more detailed description. This is optional.
! */
Identifiers
===========
* The first character of class names are uppercase, any other characters are
lowercase.
* Function and variable names are lower case.
* 'Multi_word_identifiers' use underline to separate words.
* 'CONSTANTS' and template arguments are upper case.
* Private and protected members of a class begin with an '_'-character.
* Accessor methods are named after their corresponding attributes:
! /**
! * Request private member variable
! */
! int value() const { return _value; }
!
! /**
! * Set the private member variable
! */
! void value(int value) { _value = value; }
* Accessors that return a boolean value do not carry an 'is_' prefix. E.g.,
a method for requesting the validity of an object should be named
'valid()', not 'is_valid()'.
Indentation
===========
* Use one tab per indentation step. *Do not mix tabs and spaces!*
* Use no tabs except at the beginning of a line.
* Use spaces for the alignment of continuation lines such as function
arguments that span multiple lines. The alignment spaces of such lines
should start after the (tab-indented) indentation level. For example:
! {
! <tab>function_with_many_arguments(arg1,
! <tab><--- spaces for aligment --->arg2,
! ...
! }
* Remove trailing spaces at the end of lines
This way, each developer can set his preferred tab size in his editor
and the source code always looks good.
_Hint:_ In VIM, use the 'set list' and 'set listchars' commands to make tabs
and spaces visible.
Switch statements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Switch-statement blocks should be indented as follows:
! switch (color) {
!
! case BLUE:
! <tab>break;
!
! case GREEN:
! <tab>{
! <tab><tab>int declaration_required;
! <tab><tab>...
! <tab>}
!
! default:
! }
Please note that the case labels have the same indentation
level as the switch statement. This avoids a two-level
indentation-change at the end of the switch block that
would occur otherwise.
Vertical whitespaces
====================
In header files:
* Leave two empty lines between classes.
* Leave one empty line between member functions.
In implementation files:
* Leave two empty lines between functions.
Braces
======
* Braces after class, struct and function names are placed at a new line:
! class Foo
! {
! public:
!
! void method(void)
! {
! ...
! }
! };
except for one-line functions.
* All other occurrences of open braces (for 'if', 'while', 'do', 'for',
'namespace', 'enum' etc.) are at the end of a line:
! if (flag) {
! ..
! } else {
! ..
! }
* One-line functions should be written on a single line as long as the line
length does not exceed approximately 80 characters.
Typically, this applies for accessor functions.
If slightly more space than one line is needed, indent as follows:
! int heavy_computation(int a, int lot, int of, int args) {
! return a + lot + of + args; }
Comments
========
Function/method header
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each public or protected (but no private) method in a header-file should be
prepended by a header as follows:
! /**
! * Short description
! *
! * \param a meaning of parameter a
! * \param b meaning of parameter b
! * \param c,d meaning of parameters c and d
! *
! * \throw Exception_type meaning of the exception
! *
! * \return meaning of return value
! *
! * More detailed information about the function. This is optional.
! */
Descriptions of parameters and return values should be lower-case and brief.
More elaborative descriptions can be documented in the text area below.
In implementation files, only local and private functions should feature
function headers.
Single-line comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! /* use this syntax for single line comments */
A single-line comment should be prepended by an empty line.
Single-line comments should be short - no complete sentences. Use lower-case.
C++-style comments ('//') should only be used for temporarily commenting-out
code. Such commented-out garbage is easy to 'grep' and there are handy
'vim'-macros available for creating and removing such comments.
Variable descriptions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the same syntax as for single-line comments. Insert two or more
spaces before your comment starts.
! int size; /* in kilobytes */
Multi-line comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Multi-line comments are more detailed descriptions in the form of
sentences.
A multi-line comment should be enclosed by empty lines.
! /*
! * This is some tricky
! * algorithm that works
! * as follows:
! * ...
! */
The first and last line of a multi-line comment contain no words.
Source-code blocks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For structuring your source code, you can entitle the different
parts of a file like this:
! <- two empty lines
!
! /********************
! ** Event handlers **
! ********************/
! <- one empty line
Note the two stars at the left and right. There are two of them to
make the visible width of the border match its height (typically,
characters are ca. twice as high as wide).
A source-code block header represents a headline for the following
code. To couple this headline with the following code closer than
with previous code, leave two empty lines above and one empty line
below the source-code block header.
Order of public, protected, and private blocks
==============================================
For consistency reasons, use the following class layout:
! class Sandstein
! {
! private:
! ...
! protected:
! ...
! public:
! };
Typically, the private section contains member variables that are used
by public accessor functions below. In this common case, we only reference
symbols that are defined above as it is done when programming plain C.
Leave one empty line (or a line that contains only a brace) above and below
a 'private', 'protected', or 'public' label. This also applies when the
label is followed by a source-code block header.

Conventions for the Genode development

==================================================
Conventions and coding-style guidelines for Genode
==================================================
Documentation
#############
Documentation and naming of files
#################################
We use the GOSH syntax [https://github.com/nfeske/gosh] for documentation and
README files.
We encourage that each directory contains a file called 'README' that briefly
explains what the directory is about.
README files
############
File names
----------
Each directory should contain a file called 'README' that briefly explains
what the directory is about. In 'doc/Makefile' is a rule for
generating a directory overview from the 'README' files automatically.
You can structure your 'README' file by using the GOSH style for subsections:
! Subsection
! ~~~~~~~~~~
Do not use chapters or sections in your 'README' files.
Filenames
#########
All normal filenames are lowercase. Filenames should be chosen to be
expressive. Someone who explores your files for the first time might not
All normal file names are lowercase. Filenames should be chosen to be
expressive. Someone who explores your files for the first time might not
understand what 'mbi.cc' means but 'multiboot_info.cc' would ring a bell. If a
filename contains multiple words, use the '_' to separate them (instead of
file name contains multiple words, use the '_' to separate them (instead of
'miscmath.h', use 'misc_math.h').
Coding style
############
A common coding style helps a lot to ease collaboration. The official coding
style of the Genode base components is described in 'doc/coding_style.txt'.
If you consider working closely together with the Genode main developers,
your adherence to this style is greatly appreciated.
Things to avoid
===============
Please avoid using pre-processor macros. C++ provides language
features for almost any case, for which a C programmer uses
macros.
:Defining constants:
Use 'enum' instead of '#define'
! enum { MAX_COLORS = 3 };
! enum {
! COLOR_RED = 1,
! COLOR_BLUE = 2,
! COLOR_GREEN = 3
! };
:Meta programming:
Use templates instead of pre-processor macros. In contrast to macros,
templates are type-safe and fit well with the implementation syntax.
:Conditional-code inclusion:
Please avoid C-hacker style '#ifdef CONFIG_PLATFROM' - '#endif'
constructs. Instead, factor-out the encapsulated code into a
separate file and introduce a proper function interface.
The build process should then be used to select the appropriate
platform-specific files at compile time. Keep platform dependent
code as small as possible. Never pollute existing generic code
with platform-specific code.
Include files and RPC interfaces
################################
Header of each file
===================
Never place include files directly into the '<repository>/include/' directory
but use a meaningful subdirectory that corresponds to the component that
provides the interfaces.
Each RPC interface is represented by a separate include subdirectory. For
an example, see 'base/include/ram_session/'. The header file that defines
the RPC function interface has the same base name as the directory. The RPC
stubs are called 'client.h' and 'server.h'. If your interface uses a custom
capability type, it is defined in 'capability.h'. Furthermore, if your
interface is a session interface of a service, it is good practice to
provide a connection class in a 'connection.h' file for managing session-
construction arguments and the creation and destruction of sessions.
Specialization-dependent include directories are placed in 'include/<specname>/'.
! /*
! * \brief Short description of the file
! * \author Original author
! * \date Creation date
! *
! * Some more detailed description. This is optional.
! */
Service Names
#############
Identifiers
===========
* The first character of class names are uppercase, any other characters are
lowercase.
* Function and variable names are lower case.
* 'Multi_word_identifiers' use underline to separate words.
* 'CONSTANTS' and template arguments are upper case.
* Private and protected members of a class begin with an '_'-character.
* Accessor methods are named after their corresponding attributes:
! /**
! * Request private member variable
! */
! int value() const { return _value; }
!
! /**
! * Set the private member variable
! */
! void value(int value) { _value = value; }
* Accessors that return a boolean value do not carry an 'is_' prefix. E.g.,
a method for requesting the validity of an object should be named
'valid()', not 'is_valid()'.
Indentation
===========
* Use one tab per indentation step. *Do not mix tabs and spaces!*
* Use no tabs except at the beginning of a line.
* Use spaces for the alignment of continuation lines such as function
arguments that span multiple lines. The alignment spaces of such lines
should start after the (tab-indented) indentation level. For example:
! {
! <tab>function_with_many_arguments(arg1,
! <tab><--- spaces for aligment --->arg2,
! ...
! }
* Remove trailing spaces at the end of lines
This way, each developer can set his preferred tab size in his editor
and the source code always looks good.
_Hint:_ In VIM, use the 'set list' and 'set listchars' commands to make tabs
and spaces visible.
* If class initializers span multiple lines, put the colon on a separate
line and indent the initializers using one tab. For example:
! Complicated_machinery(Material &material, Deadline deadline)
! :
! <tab>_material(material),
! <tab>_deadline(deadline),
! <tab>...
! {
! ...
! }
* Preferably place statements that alter the control flow - such as
'break', 'continue', or 'return' - at the beginning of a separate line,
followed by vertical space (a blank line or the closing brace of the
surrounding scope).
! if (early_return_possible)
! return;
Switch statements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Switch-statement blocks should be indented as follows:
! switch (color) {
!
! case BLUE:
! <tab>break;
!
! case GREEN:
! <tab>{
! <tab><tab>int declaration_required;
! <tab><tab>...
! <tab>}
!
! default:
! }
Please note that the case labels have the same indentation
level as the switch statement. This avoids a two-level
indentation-change at the end of the switch block that
would occur otherwise.
Vertical whitespaces
====================
In header files:
* Leave two empty lines between classes.
* Leave one empty line between member functions.
In implementation files:
* Leave two empty lines between functions.
Braces
======
* Braces after class, struct and function names are placed at a new line:
! class Foo
! {
! public:
!
! void method(void)
! {
! ...
! }
! };
except for one-line functions.
* All other occurrences of open braces (for 'if', 'while', 'do', 'for',
'namespace', 'enum' etc.) are at the end of a line:
! if (flag) {
! ..
! } else {
! ..
! }
* One-line functions should be written on a single line as long as the line
length does not exceed approximately 80 characters.
Typically, this applies for accessor functions.
If slightly more space than one line is needed, indent as follows:
! int heavy_computation(int a, int lot, int of, int args) {
! return a + lot + of + args; }
Comments
========
Function/method header
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each public or protected (but no private) method in a header-file should be
prepended by a header as follows:
! /**
! * Short description
! *
! * \param a meaning of parameter a
! * \param b meaning of parameter b
! * \param c,d meaning of parameters c and d
! *
! * \throw Exception_type meaning of the exception
! *
! * \return meaning of return value
! *
! * More detailed information about the function. This is optional.
! */
Descriptions of parameters and return values should be lower-case and brief.
More elaborative descriptions can be documented in the text area below.
In implementation files, only local and private functions should feature
function headers.
Single-line comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! /* use this syntax for single line comments */
A single-line comment should be prepended by an empty line.
Single-line comments should be short - no complete sentences. Use lower-case.
C++-style comments ('//') should only be used for temporarily commenting-out
code. Such commented-out garbage is easy to 'grep' and there are handy
'vim'-macros available for creating and removing such comments.
Variable descriptions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the same syntax as for single-line comments. Insert two or more
spaces before your comment starts.
! int size; /* in kilobytes */
Multi-line comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Multi-line comments are more detailed descriptions in the form of
sentences.
A multi-line comment should be enclosed by empty lines.
! /*
! * This is some tricky
! * algorithm that works
! * as follows:
! * ...
! */
The first and last line of a multi-line comment contain no words.
Source-code blocks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For structuring your source code, you can entitle the different
parts of a file like this:
! <- two empty lines
!
! /********************
! ** Event handlers **
! ********************/
! <- one empty line
Note the two stars at the left and right. There are two of them to
make the visible width of the border match its height (typically,
characters are ca. twice as high as wide).
A source-code block header represents a headline for the following
code. To couple this headline with the following code closer than
with previous code, leave two empty lines above and one empty line
below the source-code block header.
Order of public, protected, and private blocks
==============================================
For consistency reasons, use the following class layout:
! class Sandstein
! {
! private:
! ...
! protected:
! ...

Package management on Genode
============================
Norman Feske
Motivation and inspiration
##########################
The established system-integration work flow with Genode is based on
the 'run' tool, which automates the building, configuration, integration,
and testing of Genode-based systems. Whereas the run tool succeeds in
overcoming the challenges that come with Genode's diversity of kernels and
supported hardware platforms, its scalability is somewhat limited to
appliance-like system scenarios: The result of the integration process is
a system image with a certain feature set. Whenever requirements change,
the system image is replaced with a new created image that takes those
requirements into account. In practice, there are two limitations of this
system-integration approach:
First, since the run tool implicitly builds all components required for a
system scenario, the system integrator has to compile all components from
source. E.g., if a system includes a component based on Qt5, one needs to
compile the entire Qt5 application framework, which induces significant
overhead to the actual system-integration tasks of composing and configuring
components.
Second, general-purpose systems tend to become too complex and diverse to be
treated as system images. When looking at commodity OSes, each installation
differs with respect to the installed set of applications, user preferences,
used device drivers and system preferences. A system based on the run tool's
work flow would require the user to customize the run script of the system for
each tweak. To stay up to date, the user would need to re-create the
system image from time to time while manually maintaining any customizations.
In practice, this is a burden, very few end users are willing to endure.
The primary goal of Genode's package management is to overcome these
scalability limitations, in particular:
* Alleviating the need to build everything that goes into system scenarios
from scratch,
* Facilitating modular system compositions while abstracting from technical
details,
* On-target system update and system development,
* Assuring the user that system updates are safe to apply by providing the
ability to easily roll back the system or parts thereof to previous versions,
* Securing the integrity of the deployed software,
* Fostering a federalistic evolution of Genode systems,
* Low friction for existing developers.
The design of Genode's package-management concept is largely influenced by Git
as well as the [https://nixos.org/nix/ - Nix] package manager. In particular
the latter opened our eyes to discover the potential that lies beyond the
package management employed in state-of-the art commodity systems. Even though
we considered adapting Nix for Genode and actually conducted intensive
experiments in this direction (thanks to Emery Hemingway who pushed forward
this line of work), we settled on a custom solution that leverages Genode's
holistic view on all levels of the operating system including the build system
and tooling, source structure, ABI design, framework API, system
configuration, inter-component interaction, and the components itself. Whereby
Nix is designed for being used on top of Linux, Genode's whole-systems view
led us to simplifications that eliminated the needs for Nix' powerful features
like its custom description language.
Nomenclature
############
When speaking about "package management", one has to clarify what a "package"
in the context of an operating system represents. Traditionally, a package
is the unit of delivery of a bunch of "dumb" files, usually wrapped up in
a compressed archive. A package may depend on the presence of other
packages. Thereby, a dependency graph is formed. To express how packages fit
with each other, a package is usually accompanied with meta data
(description). Depending on the package manager, package descriptions follow
certain formalisms (e.g., package-description language) and express
more-or-less complex concepts such as versioning schemes or the distinction
between hard and soft dependencies.
Genode's package management does not follow this notion of a "package".
Instead of subsuming all deliverable content under one term, we distinguish
different kinds of content, each in a tailored and simple form. To avoid the
clash of the notions of the common meaning of a "package", we speak of
"archives" as the basic unit of delivery. The following subsections introduce
the different categories.
Archives are named with their version as suffix, appended via a slash. The
suffix is maintained by the author of the archive. The recommended naming
scheme is the use of the release date as version suffix, e.g.,
'report_rom/2017-05-14'.
Raw-data archives
=================
A raw-data archive contains arbitrary data that is - in contrast to executable
binaries - independent from the processor architecture. Examples are
configuration data, game assets, images, or fonts. The content of raw-data
archives is expected to be consumed by components at runtime. It is not
relevant for the build process for executable binaries. Each raw-data
archive contains merely a collection of data files. There is no meta data.
API archive
===========
An API archive has the structure of a Genode source-code repository. It may
contain all the typical content of such a source-code repository such as header
files (in the _include/_ subdirectory), source codes (in the _src/_
subdirectory), library-description files (in the _lib/mk/_ subdirectory), or
ABI symbols (_lib/symbols/_ subdirectory). At the top level, a LICENSE file is
expected that clarifies the license of the contained source code. There is no
meta data contained in an API archive.
An API archive is meant to provide _ingredients_ for building components. The
canonical example is the public programming interface of a library (header
files) and the library's binary interface in the form of an ABI-symbols file.
One API archive may contain the interfaces of multiple libraries. For example,
the interfaces of libc and libm may be contained in a single "libc" API
archive because they are closely related to each other. Conversely, an API
archive may contain a single header file only. The granularity of those
archives may vary. But they have in common that they are used at build time
only, not at runtime.
Source archive
==============
Like an API archive, a source archive has the structure of a Genode
source-tree repository and is expected to contain all the typical content of
such a source repository along with a LICENSE file. But unlike an API archive,
it contains descriptions of actual build targets in the form of Genode's usual
'target.mk' files.
In addition to the source code, a source archive contains a file
called 'used_apis', which contains a list of API-archive names with each
name on a separate line. For example, the 'used_apis' file of the 'report_rom'
source archive looks as follows:
! base/2017-05-14
! os/2017-05-13
! report_session/2017-05-13
The 'used_apis' file declares the APIs needed to incorporate into the build
process when building the source archive. Hence, they represent _build-time_
_dependencies_ on the specific API versions.
A source archive may be equipped with a top-level file called 'api' containing
the name of exactly one API archive. If present, it declares that the source
archive _implements_ the specified API. For example, the 'libc/2017-05-14'
source archive contains the actual source code of the libc and libm as well as
an 'api' file with the content 'libc/2017-04-13'. The latter refers to the API
implemented by this version of the libc source package (note the differing
versions of the API and source archives)
Binary archive
==============
A binary archive contains the build result of the equally-named source archive
when built for a particular architecture. That is, all files that would appear
at the _<build-dir>/bin/_ subdirectory when building all targets present in
the source archive. There is no meta data present in a binary archive.
A binary archive is created out of the content of its corresponding source
archive and all API archives listed in the source archive's 'used_apis' file.
Note that since a binary archive depends on only one source archive, which
has no further dependencies, all binary archives can be built independently
from each other.
For example, a libc-using application needs the source code of the
application as well as the libc's API archive (the libc's header file and
ABI) but it does not need the actual libc library to be present.
Package archive
===============
A package archive contains an 'archives' file with a list of archive names
that belong together at runtime. Each listed archive appears on a separate line.
For example, the 'archives' file of the package archive for the window
manager 'wm/2018-02-26' looks as follows:
! genodelabs/raw/wm/2018-02-14
! genodelabs/src/wm/2018-02-26
! genodelabs/src/report_rom/2018-02-26
! genodelabs/src/decorator/2018-02-26
! genodelabs/src/floating_window_layouter/2018-02-26
In contrast to the list of 'used_apis' of a source archive, the content of
the 'archives' file denotes the origin of the respective archives
("genodelabs"), the archive type, followed by the versioned name of the
archive.
An 'archives' file may specify raw archives, source archives, or package
archives (as type 'pkg'). It thereby allows the expression of _runtime
dependencies_. If a package archive lists another package archive, it inherits
the content of the listed archive. This way, a new package archive may easily
customize an existing package archive.
A package archive does not specify binary archives directly as they differ
between the architecture and are already referenced by the source archives.
In addition to an 'archives' file, a package archive is expected to contain
a 'README' file explaining the purpose of the collection.
Depot structure
###############
Archives are stored within a directory tree called _depot/_. The depot
is structured as follows:
! <user>/pubkey
! <user>/download
! <user>/src/<name>/<version>/
! <user>/api/<name>/<version>/
! <user>/raw/<name>/<version>/
! <user>/pkg/<name>/<version>/
! <user>/bin/<arch>/<src-name>/<src-version>/
The <user> stands for the origin of the contained archives. For example, the
official archives provided by Genode Labs reside in a _genodelabs/_
subdirectory. Within this directory, there is a 'pubkey' file with the
user's public key that is used to verify the integrity of archives downloaded
from the user. The file 'download' specifies the download location as an URL.
Subsuming archives in a subdirectory that correspond to their the origin
(user) serves two purposes. First, it provides a user-local name space for
versioning archives. E.g., there might be two versions of a
'nitpicker/2017-04-15' source archive, one by "genodelabs" and one by
"nfeske". However, since each version resides under its origin's subdirectory,
version-naming conflicts between different origins cannot happen. Second, by
allowing multiple archive origins in the depot side-by-side, package archives
may incorporate archives of different origins, which fosters the goal of a
federalistic development, where contributions of different origins can be
easily combined.
The actual archives are stored in the subdirectories named after the archive
types ('raw', 'api', 'src', 'bin', 'pkg'). Archives contained in the _bin/_
subdirectories are further subdivided in the various architectures (like
'x86_64', or 'arm_v7').
Depot management
################
The tools for managing the depot content reside under the _tool/depot/_
directory. When invoked without arguments, each tool prints a brief
description of the tool and its arguments.
Unless stated otherwise, the tools are able to consume any number of archives
as arguments. By default, they perform their work sequentially. This can be
changed by the '-j<N>' argument, where <N> denotes the desired level of
parallelization. For example, by specifying '-j4' to the _tool/depot/build_
tool, four concurrent jobs are executed during the creation of binary archives.
Downloading archives
====================
The depot can be populated with archives in two ways, either by creating
the content from locally available source codes as explained by Section
[Automated extraction of archives from the source tree], or by downloading
ready-to-use archives from a web server.
In order to download archives originating from a specific user, the depot's
corresponding user subdirectory must contain two files:
:_pubkey_: contains the public key of the GPG key pair used by the creator
(aka "user") of the to-be-downloaded archives for signing the archives. The
file contains the ASCII-armored version of the public key.
:_download_: contains the base URL of the web server where to fetch archives
from. The web server is expected to mirror the structure of the depot.
That is, the base URL is followed by a sub directory for the user,
which contains the archive-type-specific subdirectories.
If both the public key and the download locations are defined, the download
tool can be used as follows:
! ./tool/depot/download genodelabs/src/zlib/2018-01-10
The tool automatically downloads the specified archives and their
dependencies. For example, as the zlib depends on the libc API, the libc API
archive is downloaded as well. All archive types are accepted as arguments
including binary and package archives. Furthermore, it is possible to download
all binary archives referenced by a package archive. For example, the
following command downloads the window-manager (wm) package archive including
all binary archives for the 32-bit x86 architecture. Downloaded binary
archives are always accompanied with their corresponding source and used API
archives.
! ./tool/depot/download genodelabs/pkg/x86_64/wm/2018-02-26
Archive content is not downloaded directly to the depot. Instead, the
individual archives and signature files are downloaded to a quarantine area in
the form of a _public/_ directory located in the root of Genode's source tree.
As its name suggests, the _public/_ directory contains data that is imported
from or to-be exported to the public. The download tool populates it with the
downloaded archives in their compressed form accompanied with their
signatures.
The compressed archives are not extracted before their signature is checked
against the public key defined at _depot/<user>/pubkey_. If however the
signature is valid, the archive content is imported to the target destination
within the depot. This procedure ensures that depot content - whenever
downloaded - is blessed by a cryptographic signature of its creator.
Building binary archives from source archives
=============================================
With the depot populated with source and API archives, one can use the
_tool/depot/build_ tool to produce binary archives. The arguments have the
form '<user>/bin/<arch>/<src-name>' where '<arch>' stands for the targeted
CPU architecture. For example, the following command builds the 'zlib'
library for the 64-bit x86 architecture. It executes four concurrent jobs
during the build process.
! ./tool/depot/build genodelabs/bin/x86_64/zlib/2018-01-10 -j4
Note that the command expects a specific version of the source archive as
argument. The depot may contain several versions. So the user has to decide,
which one to build.
After the tool is finished, the freshly built binary archive can be found in
the depot within the _genodelabs/bin/<arch>/<src>/<version>/_ subdirectory.
Only the final result of the built process is preserved. In the example above,
that would be the _zlib.lib.so_ library.
For debugging purposes, it might be interesting to inspect the intermediate
state of the build. This is possible by adding 'KEEP_BUILD_DIR=1' as argument
to the build command. The binary's intermediate build directory can be
found besides the binary archive's location named with a '.build' suffix.
By default, the build tool won't attempt to rebuild a binary archive that is
already present in the depot. However, it is possible to force a rebuild via
the 'REBUILD=1' argument.
Publishing archives
===================
Archives located in the depot can be conveniently made available to the public
using the _tool/depot/publish_ tool. Given an archive path, the tool takes
care of determining all archives that are implicitly needed by the specified
one, wrapping the archive's content into compressed tar archives, and signing
those.
As a precondition, the tool requires you to possess the private key that
matches the _depot/<you>/pubkey_ file within your depot. The key pair should
be present in the key ring of your GNU privacy guard.
To publish archives, one needs to specify the specific version to publish.
For example:
! ./tool/depot/publish <you>/pkg/x86_64/wm/2018-02-26
The command checks that the specified archive and all dependencies are present
in the depot. It then proceeds with the archiving and signing operations. For
the latter, the pass phrase for your private key will be requested. The
publish tool prints the information about the processed archives, e.g.:
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/base/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/framebuffer_session/2017-05-31.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/gems/2018-01-28.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/input_session/2018-01-05.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/nitpicker_gfx/2018-01-05.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/nitpicker_session/2018-01-05.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/os/2018-02-13.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/report_session/2018-01-05.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/api/scout_gfx/2018-01-05.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/bin/x86_64/decorator/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/bin/x86_64/floating_window_layouter/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/bin/x86_64/report_rom/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/bin/x86_64/wm/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/pkg/wm/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/raw/wm/2018-02-14.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/src/decorator/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/src/floating_window_layouter/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/src/report_rom/2018-02-26.tar.xz
! publish /.../public/<you>/src/wm/2018-02-26.tar.xz
According to the output, the tool populates a directory called _public/_
at the root of the Genode source tree with the to-be-published archives.
The content of the _public/_ directory is now ready to be copied to a
web server, e.g., by using rsync.
Automated extraction of archives from the source tree
#####################################################
Genode users are expected to populate their local depot with content obtained
via the _tool/depot/download_ tool. However, Genode developers need a way to
create depot archives locally in order to make them available to users. Thanks
to the _tool/depot/extract_ tool, the assembly of archives does not need to be
a manual process. Instead, archives can be conveniently generated out of the
source codes present in the Genode source tree and the _contrib/_ directory.
However, the granularity of splitting source code into archives, the
definition of what a particular API entails, and the relationship between
archives must be augmented by the archive creator as this kind of information
is not present in the source tree as is. This is where so-called "archive
recipes" enter the picture. An archive recipe defines the content of an
archive. Such recipes can be located at an _recipes/_ subdirectory of any
source-code repository, similar to how port descriptions and run scripts
are organized. Each _recipe/_ directory contains subdirectories for the
archive types, which, in turn, contain a directory for each archive. The
latter is called a _recipe directory_.
Recipe directory
----------------
The recipe directory is named after the archive _omitting the archive version_
and contains at least one file named _hash_. This file defines the version
of the archive along with a hash value of the archive's content
separated by a space character. By tying the version name to a particular hash
value, the _extract_ tool is able to detect the appropriate points in time
whenever the version should be increased due to a change of the archive's
content.
API, source, and raw-data archive recipes
-----------------------------------------
Recipe directories for API, source, or raw-data archives contain a
_content.mk_ file that defines the archive content in the form of make
rules. The content.mk file is executed from the archive's location within
the depot. Hence, the contained rules can refer to archive-relative files as targets.
The first (default) rule of the content.mk file is executed with a customized
make environment:
:GENODE_DIR: A variable that holds the path to root of the Genode source tree,
:REP_DIR: A variable with the path to source code repository where the recipe
is located
:port_dir: A make function that returns the directory of a port within the
_contrib/_ directory. The function expects the location of the
corresponding port file as argument, for example, the 'zlib' recipe
residing in the _libports/_ repository may specify '$(REP_DIR)/ports/zlib'
to access the 3rd-party zlib source code.
Source archive recipes contain simplified versions of the 'used_apis' and
(for libraries) 'api' files as found in the archives. In contrast to the
depot's counterparts of these files, which contain version-suffixed names,
the files contained in recipe directories omit the version suffix. This
is possible because the extract tool always extracts the _current_ version
of a given archive from the source tree. This current version is already
defined in the corresponding recipe directory.
Package-archive recipes
-----------------------
The recipe directory for a package archive contains the verbatim content of
the to-be-created package archive except for the _archives_ file. All other
files are copied verbatim to the archive. The content of the recipe's
_archives_ file may omit the version information from the listed ingredients.
Furthermore, the user part of each entry can be left blank by using '_' as a
wildcard. When generating the package archive from the recipe, the extract
tool will replace this wildcard with the user that creates the archive.
Convenience front-end to the extract, build tools
#################################################
For developers, the work flow of interacting with the depot is most often the
combination of the _extract_ and _build_ tools whereas the latter expects
concrete version names as arguments. The _create_ tool accelerates this common
usage pattern by allowing the user to omit the version names. Operations
implicitly refer to the _current_ version of the archives as defined in
the recipes.
Furthermore, the _create_ tool is able to manage version updates for the
developer. If invoked with the argument 'UPDATE_VERSIONS=1', it automatically
updates hash files of the involved recipes by taking the current date as
version name. This is a valuable assistance in situations where a commonly
used API changes. In this case, the versions of the API and all dependent
archives must be increased, which would be a labour-intensive task otherwise.
If the depot already contains an archive of the current version, the create
tools won't re-create the depot archive by default. Local modifications of
the source code in the repository do not automatically result in a new archive.
To ensure that the depot archive is current, one can specify 'FORCE=1' to
the create tool. With this argument, existing depot archives are replaced by
freshly extracted ones and version updates are detected. When specified for
creating binary archives, 'FORCE=1' normally implies 'REBUILD=1'. To prevent
the superfluous rebuild of binary archives whose source versions remain
unchanged, 'FORCE=1' can be combined with the argument 'REBUILD='.
Accessing depot content from run scripts
########################################
The depot tools are not meant to replace the run tool but rather to complement
it. When both tools are combined, the run tool implicitly refers to "current"
archive versions as defined for the archive's corresponding recipes. This way,
the regular run-tool work flow can be maintained while attaining a
productivity boost by fetching content from the depot instead of building it.
Run scripts can use the 'import_from_depot' function to incorporate archive
content from the depot into a scenario. The function must be called after the
'create_boot_directory' function and takes any number of pkg, src, or raw
archives as arguments. An archive is specified as depot-relative path of the
form '<user>/<type>/name'. Run scripts may call 'import_from_depot'
repeatedly. Each argument can refer to a specific version of an archive or
just the version-less archive name. In the latter case, the current version
(as defined by a corresponding archive recipe in the source tree) is used.
If a 'src' archive is specified, the run tool integrates the content of
the corresponding binary archive into the scenario. The binary archives
are selected according the spec values as defined for the build directory.

How to start exploring Genode
=============================
Norman Feske
Abstract
########
This guide is meant to provide you a painless start with using the Genode OS
Framework. It explains the steps needed to get a simple demo system running
on Linux first, followed by the instructions on how to run the same scenario
on a microkernel.
Quick start to build Genode for Linux
#####################################
The best starting point for exploring Genode is to run it on Linux. Make sure
that your system satisfies the following requirements:
* GNU Make version 3.81 or newer
* 'libSDL-dev'
* 'tclsh' and 'expect'
* 'byacc' (only needed for the L4/Fiasco kernel)
* 'qemu' and 'xorriso' (for testing non-Linux platforms via Qemu)
For using the entire collection of ported 3rd-party software, the following
packages should be installed additionally: 'autoconf2.64', 'autogen', 'bison',
'flex', 'g++', 'git', 'gperf', 'libxml2-utils', 'subversion', and 'xsltproc'.
Your exploration of Genode starts with obtaining the source code of the
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/genode/files/latest/download - latest version]
of the framework. For detailed instructions and alternatives to the
download from Sourceforge please refer to [https://genode.org/download].
Furthermore, you will need to install the official Genode tool chain, which
you can download at [https://genode.org/download/tool-chain].
The Genode build system never touches the source tree but generates object
files, libraries, and programs in a dedicated build directory. We do not have a
build directory yet. For a quick start, let us create one for the Linux base
platform:
! cd <genode-dir>
! ./tool/create_builddir x86_64
This creates a new build directory for building x86_64 binaries in './build'.
The build system creates unified binaries that work on the given
architecture independent from the underlying base platform, in this case Linux.
Now change into the fresh build directory:
! cd build/x86_64
Please uncomment the following line in 'etc/build.conf' to make the
build process as smooth as possible.
! RUN_OPT += --depot-auto-update
To give Genode a try, build and execute a simple demo scenario via:
! make KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux run/demo
By invoking 'make' with the 'run/demo' argument, all components needed by the
demo scenario are built and the demo is executed. This includes all components
which are implicitly needed by the base platform. The base platform that the
components will be executed upon on is selected via the 'KERNEL' and 'BOARD'
variables. If you are interested in looking behind the scenes of the demo
scenario, please refer to 'doc/build_system.txt' and the run script at
'os/run/demo.run'.
Using platforms other than Linux
================================
Running Genode on Linux is the most convenient way to get acquainted with the
framework. However, the point where Genode starts to shine is when used as the
user land executed on a microkernel. The framework supports a variety of
different kernels such as L4/Fiasco, L4ka::Pistachio, OKL4, and NOVA. Those
kernels largely differ in terms of feature sets, build systems, tools, and boot
concepts. To relieve you from dealing with those peculiarities, Genode provides
you with an unified way of using them. For each kernel platform, there exists
a dedicated description file that enables the 'prepare_port' tool to fetch and
prepare the designated 3rd-party sources. Just issue the following command
within the toplevel directory of the Genode source tree:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port <platform>
Note that each 'base-<platform>' directory comes with a 'README' file, which
you should revisit first when exploring the base platform. Additionally, most
'base-<platform>' directories provide more in-depth information within their
respective 'doc/' subdirectories.
For the VESA driver on x86, the x86emu library is required and can be
downloaded and prepared by again invoking the 3rd-party sources preparation
tool:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port x86emu
On x86 base platforms the GRUB2 boot loader is required and can be
downloaded and prepared by invoking:
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port grub2
Now that the base platform is prepared, the 'create_builddir' tool can be used
to create a build directory for your architecture of choice by giving the
architecture as argument. To see the list of available architecture, execute
'create_builddir' with no arguments. Note, that not all kernels support all
architectures.
For example, to give the demo scenario a spin on the OKL4 kernel, the following
steps are required:
# Download the kernel:
! cd <genode-dir>
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port okl4
# Create a build directory
! ./tool/create_builddir x86_32
# Uncomment the following line in 'x86_32/etc/build.conf'
! REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/libports
# Build and execute the demo using Qemu
! make -C build/x86_32 KERNEL=okl4 BOARD=pc run/demo
The procedure works analogously for the other base platforms. You can, however,
reuse the already created build directory and skip its creation step if the
architecture matches.
How to proceed with exploring Genode
####################################
Now that you have taken the first steps into using Genode, you may seek to
get more in-depth knowledge and practical experience. The foundation for doing
so is a basic understanding of the build system. The documentation at
'build_system.txt' provides you with the information about the layout of the
source tree, how new components are integrated, and how complete system
scenarios can be expressed. Equipped with this knowledge, it is time to get
hands-on experience with creating custom Genode components. A good start is the
'hello_tutorial', which shows you how to implement a simple client-server
scenario. To compose complex scenarios out of many small components, the

Genode Labs has applied as mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code
program in 2012. This document summarizes all information important to Genode's
participation in the program.

*Update* Genode Labs was not accepted as mentoring organization for GSoC 2012.
Application of Genode Labs as mentoring organization
####################################################
:Organization ID: genodelabs
:Organization name: Genode Labs
:Organization description:
Genode Labs is a self-funded company founded by the original creators of the
Genode OS project. Its primary mission is to bring the Genode operating-system
technology, which started off as an academic research project, to the real
world. At present, Genode Labs is the driving force behind the Genode OS
project.
:Organization home page url:
http://www.genode-labs.com
:Main organization license:
GNU General Public License version 2
:Admins:
nfeske, chelmuth
:What is the URL for your Ideas page?:
[http://genode.org/community/gsoc_2012]
:What is the main IRC channel for your organization?:
#genode
:What is the main development mailing list for your organization?:
genode-main@lists.sourceforge.net
:Why is your organization applying to participate? What do you hope to gain?:
During the past three months, our project underwent the transition from a
formerly company-internal development to a completely open and transparent
endeavour. By inviting a broad community for participation in shaping the
project, we hope to advance Genode to become a broadly used and recognised
technology. GSoC would help us to build our community.
The project has its roots at the University of Technology Dresden where the
Genode founders were former members of the academic research staff. We have
a long and successful track record with regard to supervising students. GSoC
would provide us with the opportunity to establish and cultivate
relationships to new students and to spawn excitement about Genode OS
technology.
:Does your organization have an application templateo?:
GSoC student projects follow the same procedure as regular community
contributions, in particular the student is expected to sign the Genode
Contributor's Agreement. (see [http://genode.org/community/contributions])
:What criteria did you use to select your mentors?:
We selected the mentors on the basis of their long-time involvement with the
project and their time-tested communication skills. For each proposed working
topic, there is least one stakeholder with profound technical background within
Genode Labs. This person will be the primary contact person for the student
working on the topic. However, we will encourgage the student to make his/her
development transparant to all community members (i.e., via GitHub). So
So any community member interested in the topic is able to bring in his/her
ideas at any stage of development. Consequently, in practive, there will be
multiple persons mentoring each students.
:What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?:
Actively contact them using all channels of communication available to us,
find out the reason for disappearance, trying to resolve the problems. (if
they are related to GSoC or our project for that matter).
:What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?:
All designated mentors are local to Genode Labs. So the chance for them to
disappear to very low. However, if a mentor disappears for any serious reason
(i.e., serious illness), our organization will provide a back-up mentor.
:What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your community?:
First, we discussed GSoC on our mailing list where we received an overly
positive response. We checked back with other Open-Source projects related to
our topics, exchanged ideas, and tried to find synergies between our
respective projects. For most project ideas, we have created issues in our
issue tracker to collect technical information and discuss the topic.
For several topics, we already observed interests of students to participate.
During the work on the topics, the mentors will try to encourage the
students to play an active role in discussions on our mailing list, also on
topics that are not strictly related to the student project. We regard an
active participation as key to to enable new community members to develop a
holistic view onto our project and gather a profound understanding of our
methodologies.
Student projects will be carried out in a transparent fashion at GitHub.
This makes it easy for each community member to get involved, discuss
the rationale behind design decisions, and audit solutions.
Topics
######
While discussing GSoC participation on our mailing list, we identified the
following topics as being well suited for GSoC projects. However, if none of
those topics receives resonance from students, there is more comprehensive list
of topics available at our road map and our collection of future challenges:
:[http://genode.org/about/road-map]: Road-map
:[http://genode.org/about/challenges]: Challenges
Combining Genode with the HelenOS/SPARTAN kernel
================================================
[http://www.helenos.org - HelenOS] is a microkernel-based multi-server OS
developed at the university of Prague. It is based on the SPARTAN microkernel,
which runs on a wide variety of CPU architectures including Sparc, MIPS, and
PowerPC. This broad platform support makes SPARTAN an interesting kernel to
look at alone. But a further motivation is the fact that SPARTAN does not
follow the classical L4 road, providing a kernel API that comes with an own
terminology and different kernel primitives. This makes the mapping of
SPARTAN's kernel API to Genode a challenging endeavour and would provide us
with feedback regarding the universality of Genode's internal interfaces.
Finally, this project has the potential to ignite a further collaboration
between the HelenOS and Genode communities.
Block-level encryption
======================
Protecting privacy is one of the strongest motivational factors for developing
Genode. One pivotal element with that respect is the persistence of information
via block-level encryption. For example, to use Genode every day at Genode
Labs, it's crucial to protect the confidentiality of some information that's
not part of the Genode code base, e.g., emails and reports. There are several
expansion stages imaginable to reach the goal and the basic building blocks
(block-device interface, ATA/SATA driver for Qemu) are already in place.
:[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/55 - Discuss the issue...]:
Virtual NAT
===========
For sharing one physical network interface among multiple applications, Genode
comes with a component called nic_bridge, which implements proxy ARP. Through
this component, each application receives a distinct (virtual) network
interface that is visible to the real network. I.e., each application requests
an IP address via a DHCP request at the local network. An alternative approach
would be a component that implements NAT on Genode's NIC session interface.
This way, the whole Genode system would use only one IP address visible to the
local network. (by stacking multiple nat and nic_bridge components together, we
could even form complex virtual networks inside a single Genode system)
The implementation of the virtual NAT could follow the lines of the existing
nic_bridge component. For parsing network packets, there are already some handy
utilities available (at os/include/net/).
:[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/114 - Discuss the issue...]:
Runtime for the Go or D programming language
============================================
Genode is implemented in C++. However, we are repeatedly receiving requests
for offering more safe alternatives for implementing OS-level functionality
such as device drivers, file systems, and other protocol stacks. The goals
for this project are to investigate the Go and D programming languages with
respect to their use within Genode, port the runtime of of those languages
to Genode, and provide a useful level of integration with Genode.
Block cache
===========
Currently, there exists only the iso9660 server that is able to cache block
accesses. A generic solution for caching block-device accesses would be nice.
One suggestion is a component that requests a block session (routed to a block
device driver) as back end and also announces a block service (front end)
itself. Such a block-cache server waits for requests at the front end and
forwards them to the back end. But it uses its own memory to cache blocks.
The first version could support only read-only block devices (such as CDROM) by
caching the results of read accesses. In this version, we already need an
eviction strategy that kicks in once the block cache gets saturated. For a
start this could be FIFO or LRU (least recently used).
A more sophisticated version would support write accesses, too. Here we need a
way to sync blocks to the back end at regular intervals in order to guarantee
that all block-write accesses are becoming persistent after a certain time. We
would also need a way to explicitly flush the block cache (i.e., when the
front-end block session gets closed).

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
!
! 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 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.

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
==================================
The current release continues

of porting Genode to the

:Genode board support for Allwinner SoCs:
[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.
[image pinephone_touch]

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.
:Booting Genode on the PinePhone:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-09-20-pine-fun-pinephone-boot]
RISC-V
======
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
[https://hensoldt-cyber.com/mig-v - MiG-V] SoC including kernel specific parts
as well as a driver for MiG-V's network-interface controller.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
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 -->

! <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_.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 22.05
===============================================
Genode Labs
The Genode release 22.05 stays true to this year's
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - roadmap].
According to the plan, we continue our tradition of revising the framework's
documentation as part of the May release. Since last year, the Genode
Foundations book is accompanied with the Genode Platforms document that
covers low-level topics. The second revision has just doubled in size
(Section [Updated and new documentation]).
Functionality-wise, the added support for WireGuard-based virtual private
networks is certainly the flagship feature of the release.
Section [WireGuard] briefly introduces the new component while leaving
in-depth information to a
[https://genodians.org/m-stein/2022-05-26-wireguard-1 - dedicated article].
Among the other topics of the release, our continued work on device drivers
stands out. We managed to bring Genode's lineup of PC drivers ported from the
Linux kernel up to the kernel version 5.14.21 using Genode's unique DDE-Linux
porting approach.
As described by Section [New generation of DDE-Linux-based PC drivers], this
work comprises complex drivers like the wireless LAN stack including Intel's
Wifi driver and the latest Intel display driver. At the framework's side, the
modernization of Genode's platform driver for PC hardware is in full swing.
Even though not yet used by default, the new driver has reached feature parity
with the original PC-specific platform driver while sharing much of its code
base with the growing number of ARM platform drivers such as the FPGA-aware
platform-driver for Xilinx Zynq (Section [Xilinx Zynq]).
Regarding the PinePhone, Genode 22.05 introduces the basic ability to issue
and receive phone calls, which entails the proper routing of audio signals and
controlling the LTE modem. Furthermore, in anticipation of implementing
advanced energy-management strategies, the release features a custom developed
firmware for the PinePhone's system-control processor. Both topics are
outlined in Section [PinePhone] while further details and examples are given
in dedicated articles.
The release is wrapped up by usability improvements of the framework's
light-weight event-tracing mechanism, low-level optimizations, and API
refinements.
WireGuard
#########
[https://www.wireguard.com/ - WireGuard] is a protocol for encrypted, virtual
private networks (VPNs) with the goal of bringing ease-of-use and
state-of-the-art network security together. Furthermore, it is designed to be
implemented both light-weighted and highly performant at the same time. For
years now, we were keen to support WireGuard as a native standard solution for
peer-to-peer network encryption. With Genode 22.05, we could finally
accomplish that goal.
After we had considered various implementations as starting point, we chose to
port the Linux kernel implementation of WireGuard using our modernized
DDE-Linux tool set. The outcome is a user-land component that acts as client
to one NIC session and one uplink session. At the uplink session, the
WireGuard component plays the role of a VPN-internal network device that
communicates plain-text with the VPN participants. At the NIC session,
however, the component drives an encrypted UDP tunnel through the public
network towards other WireGuard instances.
In Genode, a WireGuard instance receives its parameters through the component
configuration with the peer configuration being re-configurable:
! <config private_key="0CtU34qsl97IGiYKSO4tMaF/SJvy04zzeQkhZEbZSk0="
! listen_port="49001">
!
! <peer public_key="GrvyALPZ3PQ2AWM+ovxJqnxSqKpmTyqUui5jH+C8I0E="
! endpoint_ip="10.1.2.1"
! endpoint_port="49002"
! allowed_ip="10.0.9.2/32" />
!
! </config>
A typical integration scenario would use two instances of Genode's NIC router.
One router serves the public network side of WireGuard and connects to the
internet via the device driver whereas the other router uses the private
network side of WireGuard as uplink interface. In this scenario, there is no
way around the WireGuard tunnel towards the Internet even when looking only at
components and sessions. Alternatively, we could accomplish the same goal with
only one router instance in contexts that allow us to trust in the integrity
of the router's own security domains.
[image wireguard_integration]
A typical integration scenario for WireGuard
For more details on how to integrate and route WireGuard in Genode, you may
refer to the new run scripts _wg_ping_inwards.run_, _wg_ping_outwards.run_,
_wg_lighttpd.run_, and _wg_fetchurl.run_, which are located at
_repos/dde_linux/run/_.
Please be aware that this is the first official version of the WireGuard
component. Although we are convinced of the quality of the underlying
time-tested Linux implementation, we strongly recommend against basing
security-critical scenarios on Genode's port before it had the time to mature
through real-world testing as well.
For the whole story behind the new WireGuard support in Genode, have a look at
the following dedicated article at [https://genodians.org]:

New generation of DDE-Linux-based PC drivers
############################################
With the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#New_Linux-device-driver_environment_for_PC_drivers - previous release],
we started to apply the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - new DDE Linux approach]
to Linux-based PC drivers.
The first driver to be converted was the USB host-controller driver. In the
current release, we finished up this line of work. By now, all remaining
Linux-based PC drivers have been converted and updated. Those drivers now
share the same kernel version 5.14.21. The ports and configuration reside in
the _pc_ repository.
Based on the groundwork laid by the USB host-controller driver, we started
working on the Intel display and Intel wireless drivers. With the stumbling
blocks already out of the way, namely the x86 support in DDE Linux, we could
focus entirely on the intricacies of each driver.
In case of the Intel display driver, we could eliminate all our patches to the
kernel that we previously needed to manage the display connectors. Due to the
update, we gained support for newer Intel Gen11 and Gen12 graphics generations
as found in recent Intel CPUs. The old driver has been removed and the new
driver is now called _pc_intel_fb_drv_. Its configuration, however, remained
compatible and is documented in detail in the README of the driver.
The Intel wireless driver also profited from the version update as it now
supports 802.11ax capable devices. In particular, the driver was tested with
Intel Wi-Fi6 AX201 cards. The driver's unique physique - where the component
not only incorporates the driver but also the supporting user-land supplicant -
required changes to the way the Linux emulation environment is initialized.
We utilize a new VFS 'wifi' plugin that is executed during the component
start-up to prepare the emulation environment.
The following snippet shows how to configure the driver:
!<start name="pc_wifi_drv" caps="250">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="32M"/>
! <provides><service name="Nic"/></provides>
! <config>
! <libc stdout="/dev/null" stderr="/dev/null" rtc="/dev/rtc"/>
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev">
! <log/> <null/> <rtc/> <wifi/>
! <jitterentropy name="random"/>
! <jitterentropy name="urandom"/>
! </dir>
! </vfs>
! </config>
! <route>
! <service name="Rtc"> <any-child /> </service>
! <any-service> <parent/> <any-child /> </any-service>
! </route>
!</start
Apart from the added VFS plugin, the configuration remained unchanged.
So using the new driver is opaque to the user. The old driver was removed
and the new driver is now called _pc_wifi_drv_. Instead of preparing the
'dde_linux' port, the 'libnl' and 'wpa_supplicant' ports are now required for
building the driver.
! tool/ports/prepare libnl wpa_supplicant
Additionally to both driver updates, we wrapped up working on the USB
host-controller driver component by enabling the UHCI host-controller driver.
Support for such controllers was omitted in the previous release and
supporting the driver required us to add I/O port support to the 'lx_kit' for
x86. With this remaining feature gap closed, the _legacy_pc_usb_host_drv_
driver component has been removed in favour of the new one. Furthermore, the
Genode C-API for USB glue code, which was initially copied from the i.MX8 USB
host-controller driver, was consolidated and moved into the _dde_linux_
repository where it now is referenced by all recent USB host-controller
drivers.
With all updated drivers in place, it was time to make inventory and
de-duplicate the drivers since each driver accumulated redundant bits and
pieces of code. This consolidation effort simplified things greatly. We moved
most of the code shared by all drivers into a separate 'pc_lx_emul' library,
which is the back bone of those ported drivers. Since not all of them require
the same sophistication when it comes to the kernel API emulation, we followed
the same modular pattern already established in the _dde_linux_ repository,
which allows for mixing and matching of the available dummy implementations
individually per driver.

Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Revised tracing facilities
==========================
Even though a light-weight event tracing mechanism has been with Genode since
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Light-weight_event_tracing - version 13.08],
in practice, this powerful tool remains sparingly used because it is arguable
less convenient than plain old debug instrumentation.
The trace-logger component introduced later in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#New_trace-logging_component - version 18.02]
tried to lower the barrier, but tracing remains being an underused feature.
The current release brings a number of usability improvements that will
hopefully make the tool more attractive for routine use.
Concise human-oriented output format
------------------------------------
First, we changed the output format of the trace logger to become better
suitable for human consumption, reducing syntactic noise and filtering out
repetitive information. For example, when instrumenting the VFS server in
Sculpt using the new GENODE_TRACE_TSC utility (see below), the trace logger
now generates tabular output as follows.

Subjects that belong to the same protection domain are grouped together.
The formerly optional affinity and activity options have been removed.
These pieces of information are now unconditionally displayed. The trace
entries belonging to a thread appear as slightly indented. Trace subjects with
no activity do not produce any output. This way, the new version can be easily
used to capture CPU usage of all threads over time, as a possible alternative
to the top tool, which gives only momentarily sampled information.
Straight-forward trace logging with Sculpt OS
---------------------------------------------
Second, we added 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
the tracing mechanism with the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#Framework_for_special-purpose_Sculpt-based_operating_systems - modularized 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.
Capturing performance measurements as trace events
--------------------------------------------------
Finally, to leverage the high efficiency of the tracing mechanism for
performance analysis, we complement the convenient
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2021-04-07-performance - GENODE_LOG_TSC]
measurement device provided by _base/log.h_ with new versions that target the
trace buffer. The new macros GENODE_TRACE_TSC and GENODE_TRACE_TSC_NAMED
thereby simplify the capturing of highly accurate time-stamp-counter-based
measurements for performance-critical code paths that prohibit the use of
regular log messages.
Memcpy and memset optimization
==============================
With the improving support for the Zynq-7000 SoC, it was time to collect a few
basic performance metrics. For the purpose of evaluating memory throughput,
there exists a test suite in _libports/run/memcpy.run_. It takes a couple of
measurements for different memcpy and memset implementations. There also
exists a Makefile in _libports/src/test/memcpy/linux_ to build a similar test
suite for Linux that serves as a baseline. By comparing the results, we get an
indicator of whether our board support is setting up the hardware correctly.
Looking at the numbers for the Zynq-7000 SoC, however, we were puzzled about
why we achieved significantly less memcpy throughput on Genode than on Linux.
This eventually sparked an in-depth investigation of memcpy implementations
and of the Cortex-A9's memory subsystem.
As it turned out, the major difference was caused by our Linux tests hitting
the kernel's copy-on-write optimization and, therefore, accidentally mimicking
a memset scenario rather than a memcpy scenario. Nevertheless, in the
debugging process, we were able to identify a few low-hanging fruits for
general optimization of Genode's memset and memcpy implementations: Replacing
the bytewise memset implementation with a wordwise memset yielded a speedup of
~6 on Cortex-A9 (base-hw) and x86 (base-linux). Similarly, we achieved a
memcpy speedup of ~3 on x86. On arm_v7, we also experimented with the
preloading instruction (pld) and L2 prefetching. On Zynq-7000 (Cortex-A9), we
gained a speedup of ~2-3 by tuning these parameters.
Extended black-hole component
=============================
The black-hole component introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#Black-hole_server_component - version 22.02]
provides pseudo services for commonly used session interfaces and is thereby
able to satisfy the resource requirements of a component without handing out
real resources. This is especially useful for deploying highly flexible
subsystems like VirtualBox, which supports many host-guest integration
features, most of which are desired only in a few scenarios. For example, to
shield a virtual machine from the network, the NIC session requested by the
VirtualBox instance can simply be assigned to the black-hole server while
keeping the network configuration of the virtual machine untouched.
The current release extends the black-hole component to cover ROM, GPU, and
USB services in addition to the already supported NIC, uplink, audio, capture,
and event services. The ROM service hands out a static '<empty/>' XML node.
The USB and GPU services accept the creation of new sessions but respond in a
denying way to any invocation of the session interfaces. The black-hole server
is located at _os/src/server/black_hole/_.
Refined low-level block I/O interfaces
======================================
In the original version of the 'Block::Connection::Job' API introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Modernized_block-storage_interfaces - version 19.05],
split read/write operations were rather difficult to accommodate and remained
largely unsupported by clients of the block-session interface. In practice,
this limitation was side-stepped by dimensioning the default I/O buffer sizes
large enough to avoid splitting. The current release addresses this limitation
by changing the meaning of the 'offset' parameter of the
'produce_write_content' and 'consume_read_result' hook functions. The value
used to reflect the absolute byte position. In the new version, it is relative
to the job's operation.
_This API change requires the adaptation of existing block-session clients._
We adapted all block-session clients accordingly, including part_block,
vfs/rump, vfs/fatfs, and Genode's ARM virtual machine monitor. Those
components thereby became able to work with arbitrary block I/O buffer sizes.
Improved touch-event support
============================
Until recently, Genode's GUI stack largely relied on the notion of an absolute
pointer position. For targeting touch-screen devices, our initial approach
was the translation of touch events to absolute motion events using the
event-filter component
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.11#Event_filter_for_converting_touch_to_pointer_input - version 21.11]).
However, the event types are subtly different, which creates uncertainties.
Whereas a pointer has always a defined (most recent) position that can be used
to infer a hovered UI element in any situation, touch input yields a valid
position only while touching. Because both event types are different after all,
the conversion of touch input to pointer motion can only be an intermediate
solution. The current release enhances several components of Genode's GUI
stack with the ability to handle touch events directly.
In particular, the nitpicker GUI server has become able to take touch events
into consideration for steering the keyboard focus and the routing of
input-event sequences. The window-manager component (wm) has been enhanced to
transform touch events similarly to motion events by using one virtual
coordinate system per window. Finally, the menu-view component, which
implements the rudimentary widget set as used by Sculpt OS' administrative
user interface, evaluates touch events for generating hover reports now.
Combined, these changes make the existing GUI stack fit for our anticipated
touch-screen based usage scenarios such as the user interface for Genode on
the PinePhone.
Platform driver
===============
The architecture-independent platform driver that unified the platform API since
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#Platform_driver - release 22.02],
still missed some features to replace the deprecated x86-specific variant.
Most importantly, it was not aware of PCI devices and their special treatment.
PCI decode component
--------------------
The platform driver is a central resource multiplexer in the system, and
literally all device drivers depend on it. Therefore, it is crucial to keep it
as simple as possible to minimize its code complexity. To facilitate
PCI-device resource handling of the platform driver, we introduce a new
component called _pci_decode_. It examines information delivered by the ACPI
driver about the location of the PCI configuration spaces of PCI host bridges,
as well as additional interrupt re-routing information, and finally probes for
all available PCI devices, and their functions. Dependent on additional
kernel-related facilities, e.g., whether the micro-kernel supports
message-signaled interrupts, it finally publishes a report about all PCI
devices and their related resources.
An example report looks like the following:
! <devices>
! <device name="00:02.0" type="pci">
! <pci-config address="0xf8010000" bus="0x0" device="0x2" function="0x0"
! vendor_id="0x8086" device_id="0x1616" class="0x30000"
! bridge="no"/>
! <io_mem address="0xf0000000" size="0x1000000"/>
! <io_mem address="0xe0000000" size="0x10000000"/>
! <io_port_range address="0x3000" size="0xffff0040"/>
! <irq type="msi" number="11"/>
! </device>
!
! ...
! </devices>
The device and resource description in this report is compatible with the
device configuration patterns already used by the platform driver before.
Devices ROM
-----------
To better cope with device information gathered at runtime, like the one
provided by the PCI decoder, the platform driver no longer retrieves the device
information from its configuration. Instead, it requests a devices ROM
explicitly. The policy information about which devices are assigned to which
client remains an integral part of the platform driver's configuration.
The devices ROM is requested via the label "devices" by default. If one needs
to name the ROM differently, one can state the label in the configuration:
! <config devices_rom="config"/>
Using the example above, the former behavior can be emulated. It prompts the
platform driver to obtain both its policy configuration and device information
from the same "config" ROM.
Static device information for a specific SoC respectively board does now
reside in the SoC-specific repositories within the _board/_ directory.
For instance, the device information for the MNT Reform 2 resides in the
genode-imx repository under _board/mnt_reform2/devices_. All scenarios and
test-scripts can refer to this central file.
Report facility
---------------
The platform driver can report its current view on devices as well as its
configuration. An external management component might monitor this information
to dynamically apply policies. With the following configuration switches, one
can enable the reports "config" and "devices":
! <config>
! <report devices="yes" config="yes"/>
! ...
! </config>
Interrupt configuration
-----------------------
The need for additional information to set up interrupts appropriately led to
changes in the interrupt resource description consumed by the platform driver.
It can now parse additional attributes, like mode, type, and polarity. It
distinguishes "msi" and "legacy" as type, "high" and "low" as polarity,
"level" and "edge" as mode. Dependent on the stated information in the devices
ROM, the platform driver will open the IRQ session for the client accordingly.
I/O ports
---------
A new resource type in the device description interpreted by the platform
driver is the I/O port range. It looks like the following:
! <devices>
! <device name="00:1f.2" type="pci">
! ...
! <io_port_range address="0x3080" size="0x8"/>
! ...
! </device>
! ...
! </devices>
The generic platform API's device interface got extended to deliver an IO_PORTS
session capability for a given index. The index is dependent on which I/O port
ranges are stated for a given device.
The helper utility 'Platform::Device::Io_port_range' simplifies the usage of
I/O ports by device driver clients. It can be found in
_repos/os/include/platform_session/device.h_.
DMA protection
--------------
The generic platform driver now uses device PDs and attaches all DMA buffers
requested by a client to it. Moreover, it assigns PCI devices to the device PD
too. On the NOVA kernel, this information is used to
configure the IOMMU correspondingly.
PCI device clients
------------------
The platform API and its utilities no longer differentiate between PCI and
non-PCI devices. However, under the hood, the platform driver performs
additional initialization steps once a PCI device gets acquired. Dependent on
the resources assigned to the device, the platform driver enables I/O and
memory access in the PCI configuration space of the device. Moreover, it
enables bus-master access for DMA transfers.
To assign PCI devices to a client, the policy rules in the platform driver can
refer to it either by a device/vendor ID tuple, or by stating a PCI class.
The PCI class names are the same supported by the previous x86-specific
platform driver. Of course, one can still refer to any device via its unique
name. Here is an example for a policy set:
! <config>
! <policy label="usb_drv -> ">
! <pci class="USB"/>
! </policy>
! <policy label="nvme_drv -> ">
! <pci vendor_id="0x1987" device_id="0x5007"/>
! </policy>
! <policy label="ps2_drv -> ">
! <device name="ps2"/>
! </policy>
! </config>
Wait for platform device availability
-------------------------------------
Now that device information can be gathered dynamically at runtime it might
happen that a client opens a session to the platform driver before the device
becomes available. As long as a valid policy is defined for the client, the
platform driver will establish the connection, but deliver an empty devices
ROM to the client.
To simplify the usage by device drivers, the utilities to acquire a device
from the platform driver in 'Platform::Device' and 'Platform::Connection' will
wait for the availability of the device. This is done by implicitly
registering a signal handler for devices ROM updates at the platform driver
when the acquisition failed, and waiting for ROM updates until the device is
available.
Any signal handler that was registered before gets lost in this case.
The developer of a device driver shall register a devices ROM signal handler
once its devices were acquired, or shall only acquire devices known to be
available, after inspecting the devices ROM independently.

PinePhone
=========
Telephony
~~~~~~~~~
The current release introduces the principle ability to issue and receive
voice calls with the PinePhone. This work involved two topics. First, we had
to tackle the integration, configuration, and operation of the LTE modem. The
second piece of the puzzle was the configuration of the audio paths between
the mic, the speaker, and the modem. Since the complexity of those topics
would exceed the scope of the release documentation, the technical details are
covered in a dedicated article.
:Pine fun - Telephony _(Roger, Roger?)_:
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2022-05-09-telephony]
[image pinephone_telephony]
The image above illustrates a simple system exemplified by the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner/blob/master/run/modem_pinephone.run - modem_pinephone.run]
script. It allows a terminal emulator on a host machine connected to the
serial connector of the PinePhone to interact with the command interface of
the modem, e.g., allowing the user to unlock the SIM card via the 'AT+CPIN'
command, or to issue a call using the 'ATD' command.
Custom system-control processor (SCP) firmware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Battery lifetime is one of the most pressing concerns for mobile phones. While
exploring the PinePhone hardware, we discovered early on that the key for
sophisticated energy management lies in the so-called system control processor
(SCP), which is a low-power companion microcontroller that complements the
high-performance application processor. The SCP can remain active even if the
device is visibly switched off.
Surprisingly, even though its designated purpose is rather narrow, the SCP is
a freely programmable general-purpose CPU (called AR100) with ultimate access
to every corner of the SoC. It can control all peripherals including the
modem, and access the entirety of physical memory.
In contrast to most consumer devices, which operate their SCPs with
proprietary firmware, the PinePhone gives users the freedom to use an
open-source firmware called [https://github.com/crust-firmware/crust - Crust].
Moreover, the Crust developers thoroughly documented their findings of the
[https://linux-sunxi.org/AR100 - AR100 limitations] and its
[https://linux-sunxi.org/AR100/HardwareSharing - interplay with the ARM CPU].
Given that the Crust firmware was specifically developed to augment a
Linux-based OS with suspend-resume functionality, its fixed-function feature
set is rather constrained. For running Genode on the PinePhone, we'd like to
move more freely, e.g., letting the SCP interact with the modem while the
application processor is powered off. To break free from the limitations of a
fixed-function feature set of an SCP firmware implemented in C, we explored
the opportunity to deploy a minimal-complexity Forth interpreter as the basis
for a custom SCP firmware. The story behind this line of development is
covered by the following dedicated article:
:Darling, I FORTHified my PinePhone!:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2022-03-29-pinephone-forth]
Inter-communication between SCP and ARM
---------------------------------------
To enable a tight interplay of Genode with the SCP, we introduce a new
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner/tree/master/include/scp_session - interface] and
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner/tree/master/src/drivers/scp/a64 - driver]
for supplying and invoking custom functionality to the SCP at runtime.
The new "Scp" service allows clients to supply snippets of Forth code for
execution at the SCP and retrieve the result. Both the program and the result
are constrained to 1000 bytes. Hence, the loading of larger programs may need
multiple subsequent 'Scp::Connection::execute' calls.
As illustrated by the example
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner/blob/master/run/a64_scp_drv.run - a64_scp_drv.run]
script, the mechanism supports multiple clients. Since the SCP's state is
global, however, all clients are expected to behave cooperatively. Given the
SCP's ultimate power, SCP clients must be fully trusted anyway.
As a nice tidbit for development, the PinePhone-specific SCP firmware features
a break-in debug shell for interactive use over UART that can be activated by
briefly connecting the INT and GND
[https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone#Pogo_pins - pogo pins].
Note that this interactive debugging facility works independently from the
application processor. Hence, it can be invoked at any time, e.g., to inspect
any hardware register while running a regular Linux distribution on the phone.
NXP i.MX8
=========
Analogously to the PCI decoder introduced in Section [Platform driver], a
component to retrieve PCI information on the i.MX 8MQ is part of this release.
It reports all PCI devices found behind the PCI Express host controller(s)
detected. In contrast to the PCI decoder, it has to initialize the PCI Express
host controller first, and needs device resources from the platform driver to
do so before. The component resides in the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-imx - genode-imx]
repository and is called _imx8mq_pci_host_drv_.
Xilinx Zynq
===========
For the Zynq-7000 SoCs, we focused on two main topics in this release. First,
we leveraged the aforementioned improvements on the generic platform driver to
handle the (dis)appearance of devices in consequence of FPGA reconfiguration.
Second, we applied our new DDE Linux approach in order to port the SD-card
driver.
The platform driver for the Xilinx Zynq is now available in the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-zynq - genode-zynq] repository as
_src/zynq_platform_drv_. The default devices ROMs are provided by the
_raw/<board>-devices_ archives. In addition to the generic driver, it features
the readout of clock frequencies. You can use _zynq_clocks.run_ to dump the
frequencies of all clocks.
Since the Xilinx Zynq comprises an FPGA that can be reconfigured at run time,
we also need to handle the appearance and disappearance of devices. For this
purpose, we added a driver manager that consumes the platform driver's devices
report and launches respectively kills device drivers accordingly. This
scenario is accompanied by the _pkg/drivers_fpga-zynq_ archive that assembles
the _devices_ ROM for the platform driver depending on the FPGA's
reconfiguration state. The figure below illustrates this scenario: The
subsystem provided by the _pkg/drivers_fpga-zynq_ archive is a replacement for
the platform driver. It consumes the _fpga.bit_ ROM that contains the FPGA's
bitstream. Once the bitstream has been loaded, the _fpga_devices_ ROM is
merged with the _devices_ ROM provided by the _raw/<board>-devices_ archive.
The _policy_ ROM contains the config of the internal zynq_platform_driver
(policies and reporting config). By enabling device reporting, the
zynq_driver_manager is able to react upon device changes and updates the
_init.config_ for a drivers subsystem accordingly. An example is available in
_run/zynq_driver_manager.run_.
[image zynq_driver_manager]
As a prerequisite for porting the first driver for the Zynq following our new
DDE Linux approach, we added a zynq_linux target that builds a stripped-down
Linux kernel for the Xilinx Zynq. Although Xilinx provides its own vendor
kernel, most drivers have been mainlined. To eliminate version mismatch
issues, we therefore use our mainline Linux port from _repos/dde_linux_
instead. With this foundation, we were able to port the SD card driver, which
is now available as _src/zynq_sd_card_drv_.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 22.08
===============================================
Genode Labs
The overarching topic of version 22.08 is the emerging phone version of the
Genode-based Sculpt OS, targeting the PinePhone. The immense breadth and depth
of this line of work presented in Section [Genode coming to the phone]
touches topics as diverse as telephony, mobile-data connectivity, a custom
user interface, a mobile web browser, the GPU, SD-card access, USB, and audio
control.
With the growing sophistication of Genode-based systems, performance
optimizations come more and more into focus. Aided by the new tools introduced
in Section [Enhanced tooling for system tracing], we were able to profoundly
improve the network performance of Genode's user-level network routing
component. Speaking of optimizations, the current release reduces the CPU
overhead of our Linux device-driver environment
(Section [Linux-device-driver environment (DDE Linux)]) and
improves the responsiveness of GUIs based on Genode's menu-view component
(Section [Menu-view performance]).
Further topics of the new version reach from our forthcoming platform-driver
consolidation across PC and ARM-based devices, over the use of USB smart
cards, to new VirtIO drivers on RISC-V.
Genode coming to the phone
##########################
Our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map] for this year states the
goal of reaching a useful base line of functionality of Genode on the
PinePhone. This entails the principle ability to use the device as a phone -
receiving and issuing voice calls - and a mobile internet browser. Once
reached, this base line of functionality will allow us to routinely use Genode
on the device ("eating our own dog food"), experience pain points, guide
optimization efforts towards user-visible areas that matter, and faithfully
evaluate non-functional aspects like battery lifetime with real-world work
loads under realistic conditions.
For the Genode-based phone, we pursue the combination of a minimally-complex
trustworthy base system with a generally untrusted Web browser as application
runtime. The feature set of the base system corresponds to the bare-bones
[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS] extended with appliance-like
feature-phone functionality. Thanks to Sculpt's rigid component-based
structure and the overall low complexity, it promises high reliability and
security. The application runtime is hosted on top of the base system without
tainting the assurance of the base system. In contrast to the appliance-like
and rather static feature set of the base system, the application runtime
anticipates a great variety of modern-day application scenarios, universally
expected commodity user-interface paradigms, and fast-paced software updates.
E.g., we aspire the use of WebRTC-based video conferencing via Jitsi as one
reference scenario.
Since we succeeded in bringing the Chromium web engine - the base technology
of most modern web browsers - to life as a
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2022-01-27-browser-odyssey - native Genode component],
users of Sculpt OS are able to use a fully featured web browser without
relying on virtualization. With the use case of the browser on a mobile phone
in sight, we already ensured that the browser would work on 64-bit ARM
hardware. However, whereas we could showcase the technical feasibility of
Chromium on Genode, the practical usability eventually depends on a suitable
mobile user experience, which was largely disregarded by the desktop-oriented
Falkon browser that we enabled on Genode.
Assessment
----------
Fortunately, we discovered the Morph web browser while experimenting with
[https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/ - various Linux distributions] on the PinePhone.
Among the various alternatives to Android, the Ubuntu Touch UI - alongside
Sailfish OS - stood out for its refined user experience, subjectively.
The unobtrusive Morph browser as used by default on Ubuntu Touch left a
particularly good impression on us. To our delight, we found that this
browser relies on Qt5 and the Chromium web engine as its foundation, both of
which we already had enabled on Genode. Out of this observation grew the idea
of reusing the Morph browser as application runtime on our Genode-based phone.
But we had to consider several risks.
First, would the heaviness of Chromium overwhelm the rather resource-constrained
PinePhone hardware when executed on Genode? In contrast to Linux, Genode's
POSIX environment is less sophisticated and - most importantly - does not
provide the over-provisioning of memory resources. The latter could be a show
stopper.
Second, the build mechanics of the browser deviate from the beaten track we
covered so far, specifically the use of QMake. The Morph browser
unconditionally depends on CMake as build tool. Even though we gathered
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2019-11-25-goa - early experiences], with using
CMake for building Genode executables, we did not attempt using CMake for
complex Qt5 applications targeting Genode so far.
Finally, we discovered a so-called Ubuntu-Touch-UI toolkit as an
additional dependency over Qt5. It presumably extends Qt5's QML with
custom user-interface widgets for mobile user interfaces. In contrast
to the multi-platform Qt5 framework, Ubuntu Touch generally targets
Linux only, which raised a number of concerns with respect to hidden
assumptions on the underlying platform. For example, the expectation
of a certain service manager, the direct use of the Linux kernel interface,
or accidentally complex library dependencies.
Methodology
===========
As practiced during our work with bringing the Chromium-based Falkon web
browser to Genode, we took several intermediate steps to mitigate technical
risks as far as possible.
Pruning dependencies
--------------------
The first step was building the Morph browser from source for its regular
designated target platform, namely Linux. This step allowed us to validate the
functionality of the browser built from source as opposed to merely testing a
binary package. During this process, we learned about the mandatory dependence
on CMake as build tool. We also identified the following library dependencies
as sources of uncertainty.
*Ubuntu-UI toolkit* is a collection of QML widgets for smartphone apps.
It is built via QMake and comes with its own set of dependencies.
We were specifically concerned by QtSystemInfo, QtOrganizer, D-Bus, and
gettext. Genode has no meaningful equivalent to any of these dependencies.
The *Ubuntu Themes* dependency comprises graphical assets, used on Ubuntu
Touch. *Ubuntu-UI extras* extends Qt's feature set by functionality like the
'TabsBar' QML-Widget introduces additional transitive dependencies
such as the [https://www.cups.org/ - CUPS printing system] or
the [https://exiv2.org/ - Exiv2] image metadata library.
Further dependencies worth noting are QNetworkInterface, QtConcurrent, QtDBus,
QtSystemInfo, unity-action-api, and D-Bus. Those libraries do not exist in
Genode and may even raise conceptual problems. For example, the D-Bus
inter-component mechanism on Linux is not in line with Genode's
capability-based inter-component communication.
With the first manually built executable of Morph created on Linux, we could
repeatedly remove dependencies piece by piece and validate the functioning of
the browser after each step. We ultimately reached a point where most of the
library dependencies could be cut off while the core functionality of the
browser - the ability to view web pages - stayed intact. The resulting
minimized version of the Morph browser thereby served as starting point for
the subsequent porting work to Genode.
Re-targeting to Genode
----------------------
To stay as close as possible to the original browser, we decided to reuse the
browser's build system by tweaking the CMake build tool such that the project
could be cross compiled for Genode, similar to the approach we successfully
employed for QMake in the past. At first, we targeted Genode/Linux on x86,
which is still close to the browser's natural environment. Once the first
version of the browser came to life, we immediately cross-validated the result
on the 64-bit ARM architecture as this is our primary target. Subsequently, we
moved away from Linux by moving the browser over to NOVA (on Sculpt) on PC
hardware as well as our custom base-hw microkernel in order to target the
actual PinePhone.
[image touch_ui]
Ubuntu-Touch UI gallery demo running on Genode
The methodology mirrored in large parts the approach we took for the original
porting of the Chromium web engine, but it was a much smoother experience
given that all road blocks we encountered during our Chromium work are solved
problems by now. Image [touch_ui] shows the browser's underlying
user-interface tool kit in action, running directly on Genode. Image [morph]
shows the Morph browser hosted in Genode's window system.

Unexpected caveats
==================
However, the smooth ride of re-targeting the browser to Genode ended once
we discovered the extremely poor interactive performance of the browser
running on Genode. This is in contrast to our prior experience with the
Chromium-based Falkon browser which achieved comparable performance to Linux.
The performance degradation originated from the Ubuntu-UI toolkit, which
has a hard dependency on OpenGL despite being built atop the Qt5 framework.
In several instances, the Ubuntu-UI toolkit accesses the OpenGL context
directly, which is handled by a software fallback implementation in the
Mesa library. We found the removal of those offending accesses infeasible
because this change would cause several widgets appearing incomplete.
To attain the visual completeness of the user interface, we also had to
enhance the Genode-specific back end of Qt (QPA). However, even though
we achieved correctly looking results, the performance of Mesa3D without
GPU acceleration made the user interface practically unusable, even on
powerful PC hardware, not speaking of the resource-constrained PinePhone.
We came to the conclusion that the Morph browser's hard dependency
on hardware-accelerated graphics cannot be worked around. This realization,
in turn, spawned the line of work reported in
Section [Hardware-accelerated graphics].
As another - but arguably much less dramatic - caveat, we found the touch user
interface behaving strangely in some situations when running on Genode. The
reason turned out to be a disparity of Genode's notion of touch-release events
from the expectations of Qt. Whereas Genode's input-event interface does not
report a positional value of a touch-release event, Qt expects a positional
value that corresponds to the original touch event. Fortunately, once this
disparity had been identified, we could easily emulate the expected behavior
locally in Genode's QPA plugin.
Hardware-accelerated graphics
=============================
As mentioned above, we were taken by surprise by the hard dependency of the
Morph browser on GPU-accelerated graphics. Even though we have explored the
principle use of a GPU on an ARM-based platform before, our prior line of work
was targeting the Vivante GPU of the NXP i.MX8 SoC, which is different from
the Mali-400 GPU as present in the PinePhone's A64 SoC. Originally, we did not
plan to deal with the PinePhone's GPU at the current stage. But the
requirement of the Morph browser abruptly changed our priorities.
As a rapid experiment, we took the challenge to port the Lima driver for the
Mali-400 GPU from Linux to Genode and combine it with the matching user-level
driver code of the Mesa library. Even though this experiment was pursued on
short notice and risky, it was at least a tangible straw. To our delight,
however, the first functional rapid prototype came to life after merely two
weeks of work, which is almost an order of magnitude faster than our past
efforts. The reason of this success is many-fold. First, our recently
established methodology and tooling for porting Linux device drivers - as
described in our comprehensive
[https://genode.org/documentation/genode-platforms-22-05.pdf - Porting Guide] -
streamlines the formerly labor-intensive grunt work. Second, we greatly
benefited from our practical experience with GPUs accumulated over the past
few years. And third, even though the Mali-400 is different from the Vivante
GPU, the integration into the Linux GPU stack follows very similar patterns,
unlike Intel GPUs. So we found our existing knowledge largely applicable.
[image glmark2]
GLMark2 reference application using the GPU
Following the initial rapid prototype, we successively refined this work to
the point where the GPU driver became usable for the Morph browser on the
PinePhone. Thanks to the added driver, the interactive performance got boosted
to an acceptable level.
Mobile data connectivity
========================
It goes without saying that a web browser requires network connectivity,
which is a topic we had left unaddressed on the PinePhone until now.
However, given our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.05#Telephony - recent line]
of modem-related work in the context of telephony, we foresaw a low-complexity
solution to attain mobile data connectivity.
Today's LTE modems offer
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2020-12-04-mbim - QMI or MBIM] protocol support
in order to configure and handle mobile data connections. Both protocols are
in binary format and require a separate USB device (called Wireless Mobile
Communication Device). For Genode, this would mean to add support for this
device to USB while additionally the QMI or MBIM library would have to be
ported and adjusted to Genode. For the
[https://www.quectel.com/product/lte-eg25-g - Quectel EG25 modem]
in the PinePhone, we found a much simpler solution to handle mobile data
connections. The modem can be configured to emulate a USB Ethernet device
([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB - ECM device]).
In this operational mode, the modem will automatically connect to the carrier
and register itself as USB Ethernet device at the PinePhone's USB host
controller. Genode can thereby access the device through the USB networking
and CDC Ethernet drivers. The modem also offers a DHCP server and will hand
out a local IP address upon a DHCP request to Genode. Internally the modem
will use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation - NAT] in
order to translate IP requests from Genode to the address received from the
carrier.
As a prerequisite to conduct this solution, we had to enable a USB
host-controller driver for the PinePhone. Of course, we took advantage of our
modern DDE Linux porting approach for this work, which allowed to attain a
functional USB driver in merely two weeks. This driver must be combined with
our existing USB Ethernet driver (usb_net) that we swiftly extended to support
ECM based devices.
With this driver infrastructure in place, the USB network device of the modem
appears as uplink to Genode's NIC router. The NIC router, in turn,
successfully obtains a local IP address that is network-translated by the
modem. At the carrier side, IP network connectivity can be established by
issuing AT-protocol commands over UART. So the first prototype of the
low-level network connectivity worked as anticipated. With this practical way
of keeping the complexity of binary configuration protocols out of the loop,
we can maintain the low-complexity implementation of telephony and SIM
configuration via the UART control channel while regarding IP connectivity -
and the unavoidable complexity of USB - as an entirely complementary feature.
Phone flavor of Sculpt OS
=========================
Seeing the various puzzle pieces of the Morph browser scenario - GPU
acceleration, data connectivity, the browser itself - coming together, it was
time for the integration of those pieces into an overall system. The natural
basis of such a Genode-based system is
[https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS],
which complements Genode with universally expected operating-system features
such as interactive system configuration as well as the installation and
deployment of software packages.
Sculpt OS was originally designed for PC-based use cases. Its administrative
user interface is largely mouse and keyboard driven, and network connectivity
is usually attained by a wired or wireless LAN connection. Although we
presented a first version of
[https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/nfeske/ - Sculpt OS on the PinePhone]
earlier this year, the call for a touch-oriented user interface is more than
obvious. Hence, we went forward with creating a phone-specific variant
of Sculpt. Similar to the original Sculpt OS, the system consists of two
largely isolated domains, the administrative domain called Leitzentrale and
the domain of user-installed components called desktop. The user can switch
between both domains at any time using a secure attention key or gesture.
On the phone, the Leitzentrale domain plays the role of a feature-phone
appliance that provides the most fundamental device functionality such
as the interaction with the SIM card, power control, telephony, network
configuration, storage management, and software installation. We approached
the concept of the user interface from a clean slate striving for simplicity.
[image sim_pin]
Emerging mobile-phone flavor of Sculpt OS
As the first use case, we addressed telephony, displaying incoming calls,
presenting the options for accepting/rejecting calls, and initiating calls
using a dial pad. By modelling these scenarios, we could validate the
user-interface concept of the evolving phone version of Sculpt's Leitzentrale.
User interaction with the SIM card
==================================
The administrative user interface mentioned above must be matched by the
underlying middleware that talks to the modem. Remember that our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.05#Telephony - original]
telephony scenario relied on the manual use of the modem's AT commands.
We ultimately have to control the modem's control channel by software using an
AT protocol stack. To bridge this gap with the lowest complexity possible, we
created a simple AT protocol implementation that is specifically designed for
Genode's state-driven component model.
The modem driver - hosting the AT protocol driver - accepts a configuration
that expresses the desired state (as opposed to desired actions). For example,
a configuration may look as simple as follows.
! <config speaker="yes" pin="1234">
! <call number="+49123123123"/>
! </config>
The AT protocol implementation takes this configuration and the current modem
state as the basis for determining a sequence of modem commands needed to
attain the desired state. For example, if the modem is not powered, the driver
steps through the powering sequence. Or in case the SIM PIN is required, the
driver supplies the corresponding command to supply the configured PIN.
To allow interactive usage, the driver supports dynamic reconfiguration.
E.g., to cancel the outbound call of the example above, the configuration
would be updated with the '<call>' node removed. Given this approach, an
interactive user interface comes down to generating such simple
configurations.
Vice versa, the driver exports the modem's state as a state report, which is
updated whenever the modem state changes. E.g., an incoming call is reflected
to the consumer of this state report with all information relevant for an
interactive user interface. For example, the state report entails the power
state, PIN state, and call states (incoming, outbound, alerting, rejected).
This design nicely hides the peculiarities of the AT protocol from Genode's
component interfaces.
At the current stage, with less than 1000 lines of code, the AT protocol
implementation suffices for basic telephony needs, supporting the interaction
with the SIM card, managing call states, initiating calls, and driving the
modem power up and down. It also takes care of establishing the modem
configuration needed for USB ECM networking.
Current state
=============
The current version of the phone variant of Sculpt OS is able to control the
power state of the modem, interact with the SIM card (PIN entry), initiate
phone calls via a dial pad, pick up inbound calls, establish mobile-data
network connectivity, and deploy a preconfigured application scenario.
The interactive switching between the base system and the application runtime
can be triggered at any time by touching the left border of the touch screen.

The runtime graph of the base system (left) reveals the relationships of the
Morph browser with other components (right).
This flavor of Sculpt OS evolves in the
[https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner - genode-allwinner] repository,
specifically within the _sculpt/_ and _src/app/phone_manager/_ directories.
The latter asserts the role of Sculpt's _gems/src/app/sculpt_manager_.
We invite seasoned developers - especially those who are following the
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/index - Pine-fun article series] - to experiment
with the new phone variant. It can be built via the following command:
! build/arm_v8a$ make run/sculpt KERNEL=hw BOARD=pinephone SCULPT=phone
For a broader audience, we plan to provide a ready-to-use SD-card image for
the PinePhone in tandem with the next release of Sculpt OS.
Enhanced tooling for system tracing
###################################
Since release 13.08, Genode features a
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Light-weight_event_tracing - light-weight event-tracing facility]
that comes in form of core's TRACE service. Up to now, it has merely been used
for capturing textual trace messages. The two prominent monitor components are
the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#New_trace-logging_component - trace_logger]
and the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#Tracing - VFS plugin]
The trace recorder is a new monitor component that is designed for binary trace
formats. Currently, it supports the Common Trace Format (CTF) and pcapng.
CTF is a compact and scalable format for storing event traces. It is supported
by [https://www.eclipse.org/tracecompass/ - TraceCompass], an Eclipse-based
tool for trace analysis and visualization. Pcapng is a packet-capture format
used by Wireshark.
In order to support capturing network packets, we added a 'trace_eth_packet()'
method to Genode's trace-policy API and equipped the NIC router with a
'trace_packets' option to control packet capturing on domain level. For manual
instrumentation of components, we also added a 'checkpoint()' method to the
trace-policy API.
For more details, please refer to the following Genodians article.
:Identifying network-throughput bottlenecks with trace recording:
[https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2022-08-29-trace-recorder]
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Networking optimizations
========================
With the new trace recorder at hand, we took an effort in optimizing Genode's
network throughput. First, we implemented a benchmark component called
"nic_perf" that sends and/or receives an infinite stream of UDP packets in
order to stimulate the involved networking components in separation. As a
consequence of its central role, we particularly focused on the NIC router as
a starting point.
As a base line, we took two 'nic_perf' components: one as a sender and the other
as a receiver. By taking any copying or packet inspection out of the loop, we
could verify that the packet-stream interface holds up to our expectations with
respect to attainable throughput. However, as soon as we put a NIC router in
between, the throughput dropped to approx. 10% of our base line. On older
ThinkPads, this meant sub-gigabit throughput and on a Cortex-A9 @ 666MHz we
barely jumped over the 100Mbit mark.
Since we were not able to explain the substantial decrease in packet throughput,
we investigated with the help of the trace recorder and 'GENODE_LOG_TSC'.
As it turned out, the NIC router spent most of its time with exception handling
during routing-rule lookup, which is done for every packet. Since there are
multiple types of rules, a lookup takes place for every rule type. If no rule
was found for particular type, an exception was thrown and caught, which
turned out to be incredibly expensive. We therefore eliminated exceptions from
common-case code paths, more precisely from rule lookup, from ARP-cache
lookup, and from packet allocation. The result impressed us with a tripled
throughput.
Another bottleneck that we identified were frequent 'trigger_once' and
'elapsed_ms' RPCs. Given that the NIC router only maintains very
coarse-grained timeouts, such frequent RPCs to the timer seemed finical.
Sparing the details, we were able to significantly reduce the number of
these RPCs by relaxing the precision of the NIC router's time keeping.
Along the way, we identified a few more, minor, tweaks:
* We increased the default value of 'max_packets_per_signal' from 32 to 150.
This value determines the maximum number of packets that are consumed from an
interface at once.
* We eliminated eager packet-stream signalling from the NIC router to improve
batch processing of packets. With this change, packet-stream signals are only
emitted once the NIC router processed all available or
'max_packets_per_signal' packets.
* We implemented incremental checksum update for UDP/TCP according to RFC1071.
* We discovered and fixed a few corner cases in the packet-stream interface
with respect to the signalling.
* We fixed allocation errors in the 'ipxe_nic_drv' that popped up during high
TX load.
In the end, we attained a ~5x speed up (exact values depending on the hardware)
for the NIC router.
Event-filter improvements for touch devices
===========================================
The phone variant of Sculpt OS calls for a way to trigger certain low-level
buttons or keys using the touch screen. In particular, the switch between the
administrative user interface and the runtime system must be possible at any
time. On the [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - PC version], this switch
is triggered by pressing F12, which is remapped to KEY_DASHBOARD. Even though
a physical button could be used on the phone in principle, there are three
arguments in favor of a virtual key. First, there are only three physical
buttons available (volume +/- and power) on the PinePhone. Remapping one of
those buttons to KEY_DASHBOARD deprives the button of its original purpose.
Second, the force needed for pressing a physical button may impede the
ergonomics of the device depending on how often the switch is needed. And
third, the physical buttons require a driver. When enabling a new device, this
barrier can be nicely sidestepped by a virtual key.
Given this rationale, we extended Genode's event-filter component with a new
'<touch-key>' filter type. Once added to the filter chain, it triggers an
artificial key tap (a press event followed by a release event) whenever the
user touches a preconfigured area on the touch screen. The filter node can
host any number of '<tap>' sub nodes. Each sub node must define a rectangular
area - using the attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', 'width', and 'height' - and the
name of the tapped key as 'key' attribute.
! <touch-key>
! <tap xpos="0" ypos="400" width="25" height="600" key="KEY_DASHBOARD"/>
! ...
! </touch-key>
The example above repurposes the 25 left-most pixels of the touch screen as
dashboard key. When touched, a pair of press and release events is fired at
once.
Menu-view performance
=====================
The administrative user interface of Sculpt OS is based on Genode's custom
menu-view component, which renders and updates graphical dialogs based on
high-level XML descriptions. Up to now, the component operated on Genode's
GUI-session interface with alpha-channel support. However, the alpha channel
noticeably impedes the software-rendering performance on lower-end devices
like the PinePhone. In the latter case, we'd prefer to trade the nice-looking
alpha blending for a better UI responsiveness.
We have now enhanced the menu-view component with two new optional
configuration attributes 'opaque' and 'background'. Setting 'opaque' to "yes"
suppresses the use of the alpha channel at the GUI session. This improves the
drawing performance by 20% on the PinePhone. The 'background' attribute can be
specified to define the reset color of the GUI buffer. It alleviates the need
to create a frame widget for the top level, significantly reducing the costs
for drawing the background pixels.
Finally, we found that the use of GCC's optimization level -O3 instead of the
default level -O2 increases the drawing performance on the PinePhone by 30%.
Combined, those optimizations result in an acceptable user experience of
Sculpt's administrative user interface on the PinePhone.
Device drivers
##############
USB networking via Ethernet control model (ECM)
===============================================
To implement mobile data connectivity on the PinePhone
(Section [Mobile data connectivity]), we added USB host-controller support
(EHCI) for the Allwinner A64 SoC to Genode by porting the corresponding
host-controller driver from Linux using our DDE approach. Since our existing
USB-over-Ethernet
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/tree/master/repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/usb_net - driver]
on Genode lacked support for the Ethernet Control Model, which is provided by
the modem, we added support for ECM as well.
GPU and Mesa driver for Mali-400
================================
As mentioned in Section [Genode coming to the phone], we enabled the principle
ability to use the Mali-400 GPU of the PinePhone under Genode. This support
entails two parts. The first part is the low-level driver code called Lima
that normally resides in the Linux kernel. This component provides a GPU
session interface. We transplanted the driver code to a dedicated Genode
component, which is hosted at the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner - genode-allwinner] repository.
The second part is the user-level Mesa3D driver stack - hosted at the libports
repository - that is linked local to the application and uses the GPU session
to access the GPU.
The combination of both parts was successfully tested on the PinePhone and
the Pine-A64-LTS V1.2 board. Given that the primary motivation for this
line of work was our ambition to run the Morph web browser, we disregarded the
multiplexing of the GPU for now. The GPU driver currently supports only one
client at a time.
SD-card driver for the PinePhone
================================
In anticipation of running Sculpt OS on the PinePhone, we ported the Linux
SD/MMC-card driver to Genode. The driver - hosted at the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-allwinner - genode-allwinner] repository -
was successfully tested with the PinePhone and Pine-A64LTS V1.2 board. For the
moment, only SD cards (no eMMC) are supported.
The provided _a64_sd_card_drv.run_ script illustrates the integration and use
of the driver.
Linux-device-driver environment (DDE Linux)
===========================================
Tickless idle operation
-----------------------
The DDE-Linux emulation library and thereby all ported drivers now support
the NO_HZ_IDLE Linux kernel configuration option, which disables periodic
timer ticks when ported drivers are idle. With this option, energy and up to
3% CPU time per driver can be preserved, which becomes significant especially
if multiple ported drivers are in use in sophisticated scenarios like Sculpt
OS.
Consistent use of SMP configuration
-----------------------------------
All kernel threads in the Linux device driver ports are currently mapped to one
and the same native Genode thread, using cooperative scheduling within the
emulation environment. Intuitively, it does not make much sense to address
multi-processing support provided by the original Linux kernel code.
Nonetheless, the drivers that we ported are normally used in the context of
SMP-aware Linux kernel configurations only. To not leave the well tested and
beaten track, we decided to switch on SMP support in all kernel configurations
we use as porting base.
This especially applies to the Linux drivers within the _repos/pc_
sub-directory, and the WireGuard port. Other driver ports already used SMP
support in their configuration.
As a side effect, we removed the insufficient emulation of so called "softirqs"
formerly used by the non-SMP driver ports, and replaced them with the original
implementation.
Forthcoming platform-driver modernization
=========================================
During the past year, we switched from board-specific platform driver APIs
step-by-step to one generic interface. But PC-related drivers still depend on
the legacy x86-specific platform driver and API, especially to the PCI-related
part of it.
To finalize the unification and modernization of the platform driver and its
API, there were still some pieces missing, which we added with the current
release.
While trying to switch PC-related Linux device driver ports to the new API, we
recognized that some drivers depend on additional information of the PCI
configuration space that were not exported so far. Namely, the fields for
sub-vendor, sub-product, and revision IDs were needed. Moreover, some ported
drivers use hard-coded indices of PCI base-address registers (BAR) to refer to
I/O resources of the device.
Therefore, we extended the pci_decode tool to export this additional
information, and to annotate I/O port ranges and memory attributes with the
corresponding BAR index. The generic platform driver parses this additional
information from a given devices ROM, and exports it to the corresponding
clients accordingly. The correlation between I/O resources and BAR indices is
only unveiled to clients where the platform driver's policy states that
physical information has to be provided, like in this example:
! <config>
! <policy label="usb_drv -> " info="yes">
! <pci class="USB"/>
! </policy>
! ...
! </config>
UHCI-specific platform extensions
---------------------------------
Some device-specific registers are only present within the PCI configuration
space. For instance UHCI controllers in the PC architecture provide a special
legacy support register only accessible via the PCI configuration space. This
register is used to hand over the USB hardware from the BIOS to the operating
system.
We did not want to pollute the platform API with a lot of device specific
tweaks nor provide unlimited access to the PCI configuration space to a
driver. Therefore, we implement the hand-over of the UHCI PCI device in the
platform driver if available. Moreover, we handle the Intel-specific resume
register whenever a session to the corresponding UHCI controller is opened.
Intel GPU information from Host Bridge
--------------------------------------
Some information needed by Intel GPU and framebuffer drivers is derived from
the Intel Graphics and Controller HUB (GMCH) respectively its control
register. It is used to calculate the GPU's Global Translation Table (GTT),
and the stolen memory sizes. Again we do not want to give access to the whole
configuration space of this sensitive device to either the GPU or the
framebuffer driver. Instead, the platform driver now detects Intel PCI graphic
cards, and exports the information found within the GMCH control register to
the corresponding client as part of the platform session's devices ROM.
Transition of PC drivers
------------------------
Although there is everything in place now to switch the remaining PC-drivers
to the generic platform driver and its API, we decided to do this step after
the current release. This way, we have time to stress-test the drivers during
our daily use of Genode, the remaining transitional work is planned for the
upcoming Sculpt OS release instead.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Qt5 and Morph browser
=====================
As mentioned in Section [Genode coming to the phone], we had to improve
Genode's Qt support to get the Morph browser to work. This work includes
added support for building Qt projects with CMake, the addition of missing Qt
modules like QtGraphicalEffects, and improving the OpenGL support of the QPA
plugin. The latter was needed for the Ubuntu UI Toolkit to display its widgets
correctly. Note that this change implies that QtQuick applications now use
OpenGL by default instead of the QtQuick software rendering fallback back end.
This can improve the experience when an accelerated GPU driver is available
but can also slow down a QtQuick application if only the Mesa software driver
('softpipe') is available on the target platform. In that case, it is possible
to enforce the use of the software QtQuick renderer by setting the following
environment variable in the configuration of the application:
! <env key="QT_QUICK_BACKEND" value="software"/>
When we tried to use the free public Jitsi server at [https://meet.jit.si] with
our ported web browsers, we noticed that our QtWebEngine Chromium version was
too old and caused issues like a non-working join button and failed WebRTC
connections. For this reason, we updated our Qt port to the latest version with
QtWebEngine support on FreeBSD, which at this time is version 5.15.2.
To use this new version, it is necessary to update the Qt5 host tools with the
'tool/tool_chain_qt5' script.
We also updated the Falkon web browser to the latest version 3.2.0.
Up-to-date Sculpt packages of both the Falkon and Morph browsers for x86_64 are
available in the 'cproc' depot.
USB smart cards via PKCS#11
===========================
With this release, Genode gains support for accessing USB smart-card devices
via PKCS#11. This is achieved through a port of the OpenSC PKCS#11 tool that is
now available as package for the Sculpt OS. A quick look into the features and
integration of the tool is possible using the new _pkcs11_tool_ run script
hosted in the [https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-world - genode-world]
repository. For a more detailed guide to the tool, you may read the
corresponding Genodians article.
:USB smart cards via PKCS#11:
[https://genodians.org/m-stein/2022-08-18-pkcs11-tool-1]
Sculpt OS improvements
======================
In addition to the major developments described in
Section [Genode coming to the phone], Sculpt OS has received several minor
refinements.
When integrating a
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#Framework_for_special-purpose_Sculpt-based_operating_systems - Sculpt-based appliance]
with a predefined deploy configuration, the _sculpt.run_ script automatically
adds the required software packages as tar archive to the boot image. However,
for complex scenarios, it is sometimes desirable to keep the boot image small
and fetch the packages at runtime over the network. To support such use cases,
we added the new run-script argument 'DEPOT' with the possible values 'tar'
(default) and 'omit'. If the latter is specified, the deployed software
packages are excluded from the boot image and the run script merely prints the
versions of the required packages. This information can conveniently be used
as input for publishing the packages.
We added two new packages 'part_block' and 'ext2_fs' that simplify the access
of multiple block devices and partitions in manually curated deploy
configurations. The part_block package can be used in Sculpt's
_/config/deploy_ as follows.
! <start name="nvme-0.part_block" pkg="part_block">
! <route>
! <service name="Block">
! <parent label="nvme-0"/>
! </service>
! <service name="Report" label="partitions">
! <parent/>
! </service>
! </route>
! </start>
It can be combined with the 'ext2_fs' package to access the files stored on a
particular partition.
! <start name="nvme-0.4.fs" pkg="ext2_fs">
! <route>
! <service name="Block">
! <child name="nvme-0.part_block" label="4"/>
! </service>
! <service name="RM">
! <parent/>
! </service>
! </route>
! </start>
Platforms
#########
Qemu virtual platform
=====================
Because more and more architectures on Genode now support VirtIO drivers on
Qemu (ARMv7, ARMv8, and RISC-V), the generic board name "virt_qemu" did not
suffice for keeping a clean distinction between the separate architecture
requirements. Therefore, we decided to make the board name architecture
specific. The following board names are now supported on base-hw:
"virt_qemu_arm_v7a", "virt_qemu_arm_v8a", and "virt_qemu_riscv".
The "virt_qemu" board name was removed.
RISC-V
======
As suggested above Genode's RISC-V support got extended by VirtIO drivers.
This includes a block driver, a networking driver, keyboard and mouse handling
as well as basic framebuffer support. This way, it has become possible to test
interactive and networking scenarios on Genode's RISC-V version using Qemu.
This work was contributed by Piotr Tworek. Thanks a lot!
Allwinner A64
=============
In the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.05#Custom_system-control_processor__SCP__firmware - previous release],
we introduced our custom firmware for the PinePhone's system-control processor
(SCP). We have now generalized the firmware to cover also the Pine-A64-LTS
board. By establishing our custom SCP firmware as a base line for all A64-based
boards, we can make our A64 platform driver depend on the SCP for accessing the
PMIC (power management chip) instead of driving the RSB and PMIC by itself.
Build system and tools
######################
In this release, we improve support for booting Genode/Sculpt on UEFI
platforms in several aspects. First, the Bender tool gains a more robust
UEFI-boot detection mechanism while retrieving serial-device parameters. Also,
the GRUB boot loader was updated to version 2.06 and now keeps lower RAM
untouched from internal memory allocations, which prevents nasty surprises on
booting some UEFI devices. And last, our [https://ipxe.org/ - iPXE-based] boot
option received support for UEFI images when using the following run-tool
configuration.

===============================================
Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 23.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
With Genode's February release, almost everything goes
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - according to plan].
As envisioned on our road map, it features the first ready-to-install
system image of Sculpt OS for the PinePhone, which is not merely a re-targeted
version of the PC version but comes with a novel user interface, a new
mechanism for rapidly switching between different application scenarios, and
system-update functionality.
Section [First system image of mobile Sculpt OS (PinePhone)] gives an
overview and further links about running Genode on your PinePhone.
While enabling substantial application workloads on devices as constrained as
the PinePhone, we engaged in holistic performance optimizations, ranging from
kernel scheduling (Section [Base-HW microkernel]), over the framework's VFS
infrastructure (Section [VFS optimization and simplification]), to the
interfacing of GPU drivers (Section [GPU performance optimizations]).
For stationary ARM-based platforms like the MNT-Reform laptop,
interactive graphical virtual machines have become available now, which
brings us close to mirror the experience of the PC version of Sculpt OS on
such devices (Section [Interactive graphical VMs on ARM]). This development
is accompanied by several device-driver improvements for NXP's i.MX family.
For embedded devices based on Xilinx Zynq, the release introduces custom
FPGA fabric for implementing DMA protection that is normally not covered by
Zynq SoCs. This line of work - as outlined in
Section [Custom IP block for DMA protection on AMD/Xilinx Zynq] - exemplifies
how well Genode and reconfigurable hardware can go hand in hand.
Also, PC platforms got their share of attention, benefiting from the
new distinction between Intel's P&E cores, or the principle support of
suspend/resume on both NOVA and Genode's custom base-hw microkernel.
When it comes to running applications on top of Genode, the release brings
good news as well. Our custom Goa tool for streamlining
application-development work flows received the ability to largely automate
the porting and packaging of 3rd-party libraries using CMake
(Section [Build system and tools]).
First system image of mobile Sculpt OS (PinePhone)
##################################################
Just in time for our
[https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/genode_on_the_pinephone/ - public presentation]
of Genode on the PinePhone at FOSDEM in the beginning of February,
we published a first ready-to-use system image:
:First system image of mobile Sculpt OS:
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-02-01-mobile-sculpt]
It features a
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-01-05-mobile-user-interface - custom user interface],
voice calls and mobile-data connectivity, on-target software installation and
system update, device controls (battery, brightness, volume, mic, reset,
shutdown), and a variety of installable software. Among the installable
applications, there is the Chromium-based Morph web browser, an OpenGL demo
using the GPU, tests for the camera and microphone, as well as a light-weight
Unix-like system shell.
The underpinnings of the Genode system image for the PinePhone are nearly
identical to Sculpt OS on the PC. However, besides the new user interface
specifically designed for the touch screen of the phone, two noteworthy
differences set it apart from the regular version of Sculpt OS.
[image pinephone_presets]
First, the phone variant allows the user to rapidly switch between different
runtime configurations, called presets. This way, the limited resources of the
phone can be accounted and fully leveraged for each preset individually, while
making the system extremely versatile. The loading of a preset can be imagined
as the boot into a separate operating system, but it takes only a fraction of
a second. The structure of the running system is made fully transparent to the
user by the component graph known from Sculpt OS.
[image pinephone_scenarios]
The variety of presets includes the Morph browser, GLMark2, a system shell,
a simple oscilloscope, and camera test.
Second, the system is equipped with an on-target system update mechanism that
allows the user to install new versions of the system image when they become
available. System updates are secured by cryptographic signatures. The
mechanism does not only allow for updating the system but also for the
rollback to any previously downloaded version. This way, the user can try
out a new version while being able to fall back to the previous one in the
case of a regression. This reinforces the end user's ultimate control.
[image pinephone_update]
Interactive graphical VMs on ARM
################################
The virtual-machine monitor (VMM) using hardware-assisted virtualization on
ARM started as a case study eight years ago for Samsung's Exynos 5250 SoC.
Originally, it supported virtualization of CPU, timer, interrupt-controller,
and a UART-device only. Since then, it received several extensions like
support for 64-bit ARMv8 systems, VirtIO devices for network, console, and
block access. With release 22.11, the VMM's I/O device access, RAM
consumption, and CPU count have come configurable.
With the current release, we further enhance the VMM for ARM devices to
provide all the means necessary to become a useful virtualization solution for
interactive scenarios.
[image mnt_interactive_debian_vm]
Sculpt OS running Debian in a virtual machine on the MNT Reform laptop
Two additional VirtIO device models are available now: A GPU model and one for
input. Both models are mapped to Genode's GUI service under the hood. One can
extend the configuration of the VMM accordingly:
! <config ...>
! <virtio_device name="fb0" type="gpu"/>
! <virtio_device name="event0" type="input"/>
! ...
! </config>
For now, only one GPU and one input device can be declared. Both devices get
mapped to the very same GUI service, according to the service routing of the
VMM.
Caution: the GPU and input model are still in an experimental state, and there
are known corner cases, e.g., when the graphical window size of the VMM gets
changed dynamically.
Formerly, the VMM always expected an initial RAM file system to be provided as
ROM dataspace, which got loaded together with the Linux kernel into the VM's
memory. Now, it is possible to omit the "initrd_rom" configuration option.
If omitted, no initrd is provided to the Linux guest.
Custom IP block for DMA protection on AMD/Xilinx Zynq
#####################################################
As a continuation of the hardware-software co-design efforts presented in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.11#Hardware-software_co-design_with_Genode_on_Xilinx_Zynq - previous release],
we turned towards enabling bulk-data transfer between the Zynq's CPU and its
FPGA. In a first step, we built a custom hardware design that implements a DMA
loopback device based on Xilinx' AXI DMA IP. Since we were particularly
interested in testing out the Zynq's accelerator coherency port (ACP), we
implemented two loopback devices: one attached to the ACP and one to the
high-performance (HP) AXI port of the Zynq. In order to test the design in
Genode, we added a port of Xilinx' embeddedsw repository that hosts standalone
driver code for the Xilinx IP cores. Based on this port, we implemented the
xilinx_axidma library as a Genode wrapper in order to simplify development of
custom drivers using Xilinx' AXI DMA IP. A newly written test component takes
throughput measurements for varying transfer sizes. A more detailed account of
this story is published in an
[https://www.hackster.io/johannes-schlatow/using-axi-dma-on-genode-6482d2 - article on hackster.io].
Knowing that DMA bypasses any memory protection on the Zynq as it does not
feature an IOMMU, we further spent some development efforts on implementing a
custom IP block, called DMA Guard, for protecting against unintended DMA
transfers from/to the FPGA. The DMA Guard is configured with a limited set of
address ranges for which DMA transfers will be granted. Any out-of-range
transfer will be denied. The configuration of the DMA Guard is conducted by
the Zynq's platform driver based on the allocated DMA buffers. For the time
being, we applied several changes to the platform driver. These modifications
are currently hosted in the genode-zynq repository but are going to find their
way into the generic platform driver for the next release.
More details about the DMA Guard are covered by the dedicated article:
[https://www.hackster.io/johannes-schlatow/taking-control-over-dma-transactions-on-zynq-with-genode-fd60b6 - Taking control over DMA transactions on Zynq with Genode].

===================================
For regular applications executed on Genode, input and output involves the
virtual file system (VFS). In contrast to traditional monolithic operating
systems (which host the VFS in the kernel) or traditional microkernel-based
operating systems (which host the VFS in a dedicated server component),
Genode's VFS has the form of a library, giving each component an individual
virtual file system. The feature set of the VFS library is not fixed
but extensible by so-called VFS plugins that come in the form of optional
shared libraries. These plugins can implement new file-system types, but also
expose other I/O facilities as pseudo files. For example, TCP/IP stacks like
lwIP and lxIP (IP stack ported from Linux) have the form of VFS plugins.
The extensibility of the VFS gives us extreme flexibility without compromising
Genode's simplicity.
On the other hand, the pervasiveness of the VFS - being embedded in Genode's C
runtime - puts it on the performance-critical path whenever application I/O is
involved. The ever-growing sophistication of application workloads like
running a Chromium-based web browser on the PinePhone puts merciless pressure
on the VFS, which motivated the following I/O-throughput optimizations.
Even though the VFS and various VFS plugins work asynchronously, the batching
of I/O operations is not consistently effective across different kernels. It
particularly depends on the kernel's scheduling decision upon the delivery of
asynchronous notifications. Kernels that eagerly switch to the signal receiver
may thereby prevent the batching of consecutive write operations. We could
observe variances of more than an order of magnitude of TCP throughput,
depending on the used kernel. In the worst case, when executing a kernel that
eagerly schedules the recipient of each asynchronous notification, the
application performance is largely dominated by context-switching costs.
Based on these observations, we concluded that the influence of the kernel's
scheduler should better be mitigated by scheduling asynchronous notifications
less eagerly at the application level. By waking up a remote peer not before
the application stalls for I/O, all scheduled operations would appear at the
remote side as one batch.
The implementation of this idea required a slight redesign of the VFS,
replacing the former implicit wakeup of remote peers by explicit wakeup
signalling. The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles
down. E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case when the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O. In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking
file descriptor or socket (e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once
a write operation yields an out-count of 0. The deferring of wakeup signals is
accommodated by the new 'Remote_io' mechanism (_vfs/remote_io.h_) that is
designated to be used by all VFS plugins that interact with asynchronous
Genode services for I/O.
Combined with additional adjustments of I/O buffer sizes - like the request
queue of the file-system session, the TCP send buffer of the lwIP stack, or
the packet buffer of the NIC session - the VFS optimization almost eliminated
the variance of the I/O throughput among the different kernels and generally
improved the performance. On kernels that suffered most from the eager context
switching, netperf
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/4697#issuecomment-1342542399 - shows a 10x]
improvement. But even on kernels with more balanced scheduling, the effect is
impressive.
While we were at it, and since this structural change affected all VFS plugins
and users anyway, we took the opportunity to simplify and modernize other
aspects of the VFS-related code as well.
In particular, the new interface 'Vfs::Env::User' replaces the former
'Vfs::Io_response_handler'. In contrast to the 'Io_response_handler', which
had to be called on a 'Vfs_handle', the new interface does not require any
specific handle. It is merely meant to prompt the VFS user (like the libc) to
re-attempt stalled I/O operations but it does not provide any immediate hint
about which of the handles have become ready for reading/writing. This
decoupling led to welcome simplifications of asynchronously working VFS
plugins.
Furthermore, we removed the 'file_size' type from read/write interfaces. The
former C-style pair of (pointer, size) arguments to those operations have been
replaced by 'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr' argument types, which
make the code safer and easier to follow. Also, the VFS utilities offered by
_os/vfs.h_ benefit from this safety improvement.
GPU performance optimizations
=============================
Session interface changes
-------------------------
The GPU session interface was originally developed along the first version of
our GPU multiplexer for Intel devices. For this reason, the interface
contained Intel specific nomenclature, like GTT and PPGTT for memory map and
unmap operations. With the introduction of new GPU drivers with different
architectures (e.g., Mali and Vivante), the Intel specifics should have gone
away. With the current Genode release, we streamlined the map and unmap
functions to semantically be more correct on all supported hardware. There are
two map functions now: First, _map_cpu_ which maps GPU graphics memory to be
accessed by the CPU. And second, _map_gpu_ which establishes a mapping of
graphics memory within the GPU.
Additionally, we removed the concept of buffers (as used by Mesa and Linux
drivers) to manage graphics memory and replaced it by the notion of video
memory (VRAM) where VRAM stands for the actual graphics memory used by a GPU -
may it be dedicated on-card memory or system RAM. The change makes it possible
to separate the graphics-memory management from the buffer management as
required by the Mesa library.
Intel graphics
--------------
When porting 3D applications using Mesa's OpenGL, we found that Mesa allocates
and frees a lot of small GPU buffer objects (data in GPU memory) during
operation. This is sub optimal for component-based systems because the Mesa
library has to perform an RPC to the GPU multiplexer for each buffer
allocation and for each buffer mapping. As mentioned above, we changed the
session semantics from buffer object to video memory and implemented this
feature within Intel's GPU multiplexer, which now only hands out VRAM. This
made it possible to move the buffer handling completely to the Mesa client
side (libdrm). Libdrm now allocates large chunks of video memory (i.e., 16MB)
and hands out memory for buffer objects from this pool. This brings two
advantages: First, the client-side VRAM pool acts as cache, which reduces the
number of RPCs required for memory management significantly. Second, because
of the larger VRAM allocations (compared to many 4K or 16K allocations before)
fewer capabilities for the actual dataspaces that back the memory are
required. Measurements showed that almost an order of magnitude of
capabilities can be saved at Mesa or the client side this way.
Mali graphics
-------------
The 22.08 release introduced a
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.08#GPU_and_Mesa_driver_for_Mali-400 - driver]
for the GPU found in the PinePhone. Since it was merely a rapid prototype, it
was limited to one client at a time, and was normally started and stopped
together with its client. With this release, we remedied these limitations and
enabled support for multiple concurrent clients and also revised our libdrm
backend for Mesa's Lima driver.
We have not yet explored applying the same VRAM optimizations that are employed
by our Intel graphics stack. One VRAM allocation still correlates to one
buffer-object.
More flexible ACPI-event handling
=================================
The _acpica_ component uses the Intel ACPICA library to parse and interpret
ACPI tables and AML code. One designated feature is the monitoring of several
ACPI event sources including optional reporting of information about state
changes. The supported event sources are:
* Lid, which can be open or closed
* Smart battery (SB), information about battery parameters (e.g., capacity)
and charging/discharging status
* ACPI fixed events, e.g., power buttons
* AC adapters, which reflect power cable plug/unplug
* Embedded controller (EC), events like Fn-* keys, Lid, AC, SB changes
* Vendor-specific hardware events, e.g., Fujitsu FUJ02E3 key events
Acpica optionally reports information about state changes. These reports can
be monitored by other components as ROMs. The following configuration
illustrates the feature:
!<start name="report_rom">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="2M"/>
! <provides> <service name="ROM" /> <service name="Report" /> </provides>
! <config>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_lid" report="acpica -> acpi_lid"/>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_battery" report="acpica -> acpi_battery"/>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_fixed" report="acpica -> acpi_fixed"/>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_ac" report="acpica -> acpi_ac"/>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_ec" report="acpica -> acpi_ec"/>
! <policy label="acpi_event -> acpi_hid" report="acpica -> acpi_hid"/>
! </config>
!</start>
!
!<start name="acpica">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="8M"/>
! <config report="yes"/>
! <route>
! <service name="Report"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! ...
! </route>
!</start>
One such ACPI monitor component is _acpi_event_ that maps ACPI events to key
events of a requested Event session based on its configuration. This way, ACPI
state changes can be processed like ordinary key press-release events via, for
example, the _event_filter_. The following configuration illustrates how to
map the ACPI event types to key events:
!<start name="acpi_event">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="1M"/>
! <config>
! <map acpi="lid" value="CLOSED" to_key="KEY_SLEEP"/>
! <map acpi="fixed" value="0" to_key="KEY_POWER"/>
! <map acpi="ac" value="ONLINE" to_key="KEY_WAKEUP"/>
! <map acpi="ec" value="20" to_key="KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP"/>
! <map acpi="ec" value="21" to_key="KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN"/>
! <map acpi="hid" value="0x4000000" to_key="KEY_FN_F4"/>
! </config>
! <route>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_lid"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_battery"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_fixed"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_ac"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_ec"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="acpi_hid"> <child name="acpi_state"/> </service>
! <service name="Event"> <child name="event_filter" label="acpi"/> </service>
! ...
! </route>
!</start>
In the current release, we replaced the limited list of supported key names by
a general mechanism, which supports the use of all key names declared in
_repos/os/include/input/keycodes.h_.
Base API changes
================
As part of our continuous motive to streamline and simplify the framework's
base API as much as possible, the current release removes the interfaces
_base/blocking.h_, _base/debug.h_, and _base/lock_guard.h_ as those headers
contained parts of the API that have become obsolete by now. As a further
minor change, the 'abs' function of _util/misc_math.h_ got removed.
The string utilities _util/string.h_ received the new 'Const_byte_range_ptr'
type complementing the existing 'Byte_range_ptr'. Both types are designated
for passing arguments that refer to a byte buffer, e.g., the source buffer of
a write operation.
On-target system-update and rollback mechanism
##############################################
For the mobile version of Sculpt OS as covered in
Section [First system image of mobile Sculpt OS (PinePhone)],
we envisioned easy-to-use system updates that would enable us to quickly
iterate based on the feedback of early field testers.
This topic confronted us with a variety of concerns. Just to name a few,
conventions for booting that would not require changes in the future,
equipping (system) images with self-reflecting version information, tools for
generating and publishing digitally-signed images, on-target discovery of new
image versions, secure downloading and cryptographic checking of new images,
directing the machine's boot loader to use the new version, and possibly
reverting to an earlier version.
Fortunately, most of these concerns have a lot in common with the problems
we had to address for Genode's
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#On-target_package_installation_and_deployment - package management].
For example, the off-target and on-target tooling for digital signatures,
the notion of a depot, and the concept of federated software providers
(depot users) are established and time-tested by now.
Self-reflecting version information
-----------------------------------
To allow a running Sculpt system to know its own version, the sculpt.run
script generates an artificial boot module named "build_info", which can be
evaluated at runtime by the sculpt-manager component.
! <build_info genode_version="22.11-260-g89be3404c0d"
! date="2023-01-19" depot_user="nfeske" board="pinephone">
Formalism for generating images and image metadata
--------------------------------------------------
To enable the Sculpt system to easily detect new versions, system images must
be accompanied by metadata discoverable at a known location. This information
is provided by a so-called image-index file located at
_depot/<user>/image/index_. The image index of a depot user lists the
available images in XML form, e.g.,
! <index>
! <image os="sculpt" board="pinephone" version="2023-01-19">
! <info text="initial version"/>
! </image>
! ...
! </index>
The 'os', 'board', and 'version' attributes can be used to infer the file name
of the corresponding image file. The '<info>' nodes contain a summary of
changes as information for the end user.
The new _gems/run/sculpt_image.run_ script provides assistance with generating
appropriately named images, placing them into the depot, and presenting a
template for the manually curated image index.
Signing and publishing
----------------------
For signing and publishing system images and image indices, we extended the
existing _tool/depot/publish_ tool. To publish a new version of an image
index:
! ./tool/depot/publish <depot-user>/image/index
Each system image comes in two forms, a bootable disk image and an archive of
the boot directory. The bootable disk image can be used to install a new
system from scratch by copying the image directly to a block device. It
contains raw block data. The archive of the boot directory contains the
content needed for an on-target system update to this version. Within the
depot, this archive has the form of a directory - named after the image - that
contains the designated content of the boot directory on target. Depending on
the board, it may contain only a single file loaded by the boot loader (e.g.,
uImage), or several boot modules, or even the boot-loader configuration. The
following command publishes both forms:
! ./tool/depot/publish <depot-user>/image/<image-name>
This results in the following - accompanied by their respective .sig
files - in the public directory:
! <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.img.xz (disk image)
! <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.tar.xz (boot archive)
! <depot-user>/image/<image-name>.zip (disk image)
The .zip file contains the .img file. It is provided for users who download
the image on a system with no support for .xz.
On-target image discovery, download, and verification
-----------------------------------------------------
To enable a running Sculpt system to fetch image index files and images, the
existing depot-download component accepts the following two new download
types:
! <image_index path="<user>/image/index"/>
! <image path="<user>/image/<name>"/>
Internally, the depot-download subsystem employs the depot-query component to
determine the missing depot content. This component accepts the following two
new queries:
! <images user="..."/>
! <image_index user="..."/>
If present in the query, depot_query generates reports labeled as "images" and
"image_index" respectively. These reports are picked up by the depot-download
component to track the completion of each job. The reported information is
also used by the system updater to get hold of the images that are ready to
install.
On-target image installation and rollback
-----------------------------------------
Once downloaded into the local depot of a Sculpt system, the content of the
boot directory for a given image version is readily available, e.g.,
! depot/nfeske/image/sculpt-pinephone-2023-02-02/uImage
The installation comes down to copying this content to the _/boot/_ directory.
On the next reboot, the new image is executed.
When subsequently downloading new image versions, the old versions stay
available in the depot as sibling directories. This allows for an easy
rollback by copying the boot content of an old version to the _/boot/_
directory.
Device drivers
##############
NXP i.MX Ethernet & USB
=======================
The Ethernet driver for i.MX53, i.MX6, and i.MX7 got updated to use a more
recent Linux kernel version (5.11). These drivers got aligned with the
source-code base originally ported for the i.MX8 SoC.
Using the recent approach to port Linux device drivers, trying to preserve the
original semantic, it is necessary to provide the correct clock rates to the
driver. Therefore, specific platform drivers for i.MX6 and i.MX7 were created
that enable the network related clocks and export their rate values.
The i.MX53 related platform driver got extended to support these clocks.
The USB host-controller driver for the i.MX 8MQ EVK is now able to drive the
USB-C connector of this board too.
Realtek Wifi
============
As a welcoming side effect of switching to the new DDE-Linux approach,
enabling other drivers that are part of the same subsystem has become less
involved. In the past, we mostly focused on getting wireless devices supported
by the iwlwifi driver to work as those are the devices predominantly found in
commodity laptops. That being said, every now and then, one comes across a
different vendor and especially with the shifting focus on ARM-based systems
covering those as well became necessary.
As a first experiment, we enabled the rtlwifi driver that provides support
for Realtek-based wireless devices. Due to lacking access to other hardware,
the driver has been so far tested only with a specific RTL8188EE based device
(10ec:8179 rev 01). Of course, some trade-offs were made as power-management
is currently not available. But getting it to work, nevertheless, took barely
half a day of work, which is promising.
Platforms
#########
Base-HW microkernel
===================
Cache-maintenance optimization
------------------------------
On ARM systems, the memory view on instructions and data of the CPUs, as well
as between CPUs and other devices is not necessarily consistent. When dealing
with DMA transfers of devices, developers of related drivers need to ensure
that corresponding cache lines are cleaned before a DMA transfer gets
acknowledged. When dealing with just-in-time compilation, where instructions
are generated on demand, the data and instruction caches have to be aligned
too.
Until now, the base-API functions for such cache-maintenance operations were
mapped to kernel system calls specific to base-hw. Only the kernel was allowed
to execute cache maintenance related instructions. On ARMv8 however, it is
possible to allow unprivileged components to execute most of these
instructions.
With this release, we have implemented the cache maintenance functions outside
the kernel on ARMv8 where possible. Thereby, several device drivers with a lot
of DMA transactions, e.g. the GPU driver, benefit from this optimization
enormously. The JavaScript engine used in the Morph and Falkon browsers
profits as well.
ACPI suspend & resume
---------------------
In the previous release, we started to support the low-level
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.11#Low-level_mechanism_for_suspend_resume_on_PC_platforms - ACPI suspend and resume]
mechanism with Genode for the NOVA kernel. With the current release, we added
the required low-level support to Genode's base-hw kernel for x86 64bit
platforms. Similar to the base-nova version, on base-hw the
'Pd::managing_system' RPC function of Genode's core roottask is used to
transfer the required ACPI values representing the S3 sleep state to the
kernel. The kernel then takes care to halt all CPUs and flush its state to
memory, before finally suspending the PC using the ACPI mechanism. On resume,
the kernel re-initializes necessary hardware used by the kernel, e.g., all
CPUs, interrupt controller, timer device, and serial device. One can test
drive the new feature using the _run/acpi_suspend_ scenario introduced by the
former release.
Scheduling improvements for interactive workloads
-------------------------------------------------
As Genode conquers the PinePhone, the base-hw kernel, for the first time, has
to perform real-life multimedia on a daily basis given a resource-limited
mobile target. One particularly important and ambitious use case has become
video conferencing in the Morph browser. A combination of an already demanding
browser engine with an application that not only streams video and audio in
both directions over network but also handles video and audio I/O at the
device, and all that fluently and at the same time.
A lot of thinking went into how to optimize this scenario on each level of
abstraction and one rather low-level lever was the scheduling scheme of the
base-hw kernel. The base-hw scheduling scheme consists of a combination of
absolute priority bands with execution-time quotas that prevent higher
prioritized subjects from starving lower ones. There is the notion of a super
period and each subject owns only a fraction of that super period as quota
together with its priority. Once a subject has depleted its quota, it can't
use its priority until the end of the current super period where its quota
will be re-filled. However, during that time, the subject is not blocked - It
can become active whenever there is no subject with priority and remaining
quota present.
So, this "zero" band below all the priority bands temporarily accommodates all
subjects that have a priority but that are out of quota. It contains, however,
also subjects that have no priority in general. These might be tasks like a GCC
compilation or a ray tracer. While prioritized tasks would be user input
handlers or the display driver. Now, one difficult problem that arises with
this scheduling scheme is that system integration has to decide how much quota
is required by a prioritized task. The perfect value can't be determined as it
depends on many factors including the target platform. Therefore, we have to
consider that an important task like the audio driver in the video-conference
scenario runs out of quota shortly before finishing its work.
This is already bad as is as the audio driver now has to share the CPU with
many unimportant tasks until the next super period. But it became even worse
because, in the past implementation, subjects always entered the zero band at
the tail position. It meant that, e.g., the remaining audio handling had to
wait at least until all the unprioritized tasks (e.g. long-taking computations)
had used up their zero-band time slice. In order to mitigate this situation, we
decided that prioritized tasks when depleting their quota become head of the
zero-band, so, they will be scheduled first whenever the higher bands become
idle.
This change relaxes the consequences of quota-depletion events for
time-critical tasks in a typical system with many unprioritized tasks.
At the same time, it should not have a significant impact on the overall
schedule because depletion events are rare and zero-band time-slices short.
NOVA microhypervisor
====================
ACPI suspend & resume
---------------------
As an extension to the principal
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.11#Low-level_mechanism_for_suspend_resume_on_PC_platforms - ACPI suspend and resume]
support introduced with the Genode 22.11 release, the NOVA kernel now supports
also the re-enablement of the IOMMU after ACPI resume. The IOMMU as a hardware
feature has been supported by Genode since
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.02#DMA_protection_via_IOMMU - release 13.02]
and extended in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11#NOVA_microhypervisor - release 20.11],
which sandboxed device hardware and (malicious/faulty) drivers to avoid
arbitrary DMA transactions.
Intel P/E cores
---------------
Starting with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core#12th_generation - Intel CPU generation 12],
Intel introduced CPUs with heterogeneous cores, similar to
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE - ARM's big/LITTLE] concept.
The new CPUs have a number of so called P-cores (performance) and E-cores
(efficient), which differ in their performance and power characteristics.
The CPU cores
([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Lake#CPUID_incoherence - should be])
instruction compatible and are reported as identical via x86's CPUID
instruction nowadays. However, an operating system such as Genode must be able
to differentiate the cores in order to take informed decisions about the
placement and scheduling of Genode components.
With the current release, we added support to the NOVA kernel to propagate the
information about P/E cores to Genode's 'core' roottask. In Genode's core,
this information is used to group the CPU cores into Genode's
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Management_of_CPU_affinities - affinity space].
With
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.05#NOVA_microhypervisor - release 20.05],
we introduced the grouping of hyperthreads on the y-axis, which we keep in
case the P-cores have the feature enabled. Following the P-cores and
hyperthreads, all remaining E-cores are placed in the affinity space.
The following examples showcase the grouping in the affinity-space on x/y axis:
Core i7 1270P - 4 P-cores (hyperthreading enabled) and 8 E-cores:
! x-axis 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
! ----------------------------------
! y-axis 1 | P\ P\ P\ P\ E E E E
! 2 | P/ P/ P/ P/ E E E E
!
! hyperthreads \ / of same core
Core i7 1280P - 6 P-cores (hyperthreading enabled) and 8 E-cores:
! x-axis 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
! -----------------------------------------
! y-axis 1 | P\ P\ P\ P\ P\ P\ E E E E
! 2 | P/ P/ P/ P/ P/ P/ E E E E
!
! hyperthreads \ / of same core
The information about the P/E cores is visible in the kernel and Genode's
log output and is reported in the 'platform_info' ROM, e.g.
! kernel:
!
! [ 0] CORE:00:00:0 6:9a:3:7 [415] P 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1270P

Build system and tools
######################
Building and packaging CMake-based shared libraries (via Goa)
=============================================================
The [https://github.com/nfeske/goa - Goa] tool streamlines the work of
cross-developing, testing, and publishing Genode application software
using commodity build tools like CMake. The tool is particularly suited for
porting existing 3rd-party software to Sculpt OS.
Until recently, Goa was solely focused on applications whereas the porting of
3rd-party libraries required the use of the traditional approach of hand
crafting build rules for Genode's build system. This limitation of Goa got
lifted now.
In the new version, a Goa project can host an _api_ file indicating that
the project is a library project. The file contains the list of headers that
comprise the library's public interface. The build artifact of a library
is declared in the _artifacts_ file and is expected to have the form
_<library-name>.lib.so_. The ABI symbols of such a library must be listed
in the file _symbols/<library-name>_. With these bits of information supplied
to Goa, the tool is able to build and publish both the library and the API as
depot archives - ready to use by Genode applications linking to the library.
The way how all those little pieces work together is best illustrated by the
accompanied
[https://github.com/nfeske/goa/tree/master/examples/cmake_library - example].
For further details, please consult Goa's builtin documentation via 'goa help'
(overview of Goa's sub commands and files) and 'goa help api' (specifics of
the _api_ declaration file).
When porting a library to Genode, one manual step remains, which is the
declaration of the ABI symbols exported by the library. The new sub command
'goa extract-abi-symbols' eases this manual step. It automatically generates a
template for the _symbols/<library-name>_ file from the library's built shared
object. Note, however, that the generated symbols file is expected to be
manually reviewed and tidied up, e.g., by removing library-internal symbols.
_Thanks to Pirmin Duss for having contributed this welcomed new feature, which_
_makes Goa much more versatile!_
New tool for querying metadata of ports
=======================================
The integration of third-party software into Genode is implemented via _ports_
that specify how to retrieve, verify, and patch the source code in preparation
for use with our build system. Ports are managed by tools residing in the
_tool/ports_ directory. For example, _tool/ports/prepare_port_ is used to
execute all required preparation steps.
Currently, the base Genode sources support 90 ports (you may try
_tool/ports/list_ yourself) and, thus, it's not trivial to keep track of all
the ports in the repo directories. Therefore, we introduce the
_tool/ports/metadata_ tool to extract information about license, upstream
version, and source URLs of individual ports. The tool can be used as follows:
!./tool/ports/metadata virtualbox6
!
!PORT: virtualbox6
!LICENSE: GPLv2
!VERSION: 6.1.26
!SOURCE: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.26/VirtualBox-6.1.26.tar.bz2 (virtualbox)
!SOURCE: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.26/VirtualBoxSDK-6.1.26-145957.zip (virtualbox_sdk)
Harmonization of the boot concepts across ARM and PC platforms
==============================================================
To make the system-update functionality covered in
Section [On-target system-update and rollback mechanism] equally usable across
PC and ARM platforms, the conventions of booting the platforms had to be
unified.
Traditionally, a bootable disk image for the PC contains a _boot/_ directory.
E.g., when using NOVA, it contains the GRUB boot-loader config + the hypervisor +
the bender pre-boot loader + the banner image + the Genode system image.
This structure corresponds 1:1 to the _boot/_ directory as found on the 3rd
partition of the Sculpt system, which is very nice. A manual system update of
Sculpt comes down to replacing these files. However, on ARM platforms, SD-card
images used to host a _uImage_ file and a U-Boot environment configuration
file in the root directory. The distinction of these differences complicates
both the build-time tooling and the on-target handling of system updates.
The current release unifies the boot convention by hosting a _boot/_ directory
on all platforms and reinforces the consistent naming of files. On ARM, the
_uImage_ and _uboot.env_ files now always reside under _boot/_. Thanks to this
uniform convention, Genode's new system update mechanism can now equally
expect that a system update corresponds to the mere replacement of the content
of the _boot/_ directory.
Minor run-tool changes
======================
The functionality of the _image/uboot_fit_ plugin has been integrated into the
regular _image/uboot_ plugin as both plugins were quite similar.
FIT images can now be produced by adding the run option '--image-uboot-fit'.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 23.05
===============================================
Genode Labs
Besides our annual documentation update, our major tool-chain update as
scheduled every two years, and the switch to C++20, version 23.05 puts the
spotlight on the Goa tool, which allows us to leverage existing SDKs like
Lomiri and Rust's cargo for Genode applications. In line with the previous
versions, DDE-Linux is prominently featured as enabler of our cross-platform
Wifi stack and the updated (6.1.20) drivers for Intel graphics and USB.

Before getting to the technical achievements, we'd like to draw your attention
to the books "Genode Foundations" and "Genode Platforms", which have been
updated to reflect the most recent state of the framework. Whereas the
"Foundations" cover Genode's architecture, developer work flows, and reference
material, the "Platforms" document is focused on low-level hardware topics and
provides plenty of practical guidance.
: <div class="visualClear"><!-- --></div>
Every two years, we update Genode's tool chain to the latest stable releases
of GCC and binutils. This time, we took the update as opportunity to switch
Genode's default from C++17 to C++20 so that modern C++ niceties can be used
for regular Genode components. The new tool chain is covered by
Section [New tool chain based on GCC 12.3, C++20 enabled by default].
For application developers, the evolving Goa tool is certainly the most
interesting feature of the current release. As detailed in
Section [Goa tool updated to Sculpt OS 23.04, initial support for Rust],
this tool enables us to reuse existing SDKs to target Genode. In particular,
we enabled the use of the Lomiri mobile UI toolkit (formerly known as Ubuntu
Touch UI toolkit) for targeting the PinePhone, and Rust's cargo.
System integrators may appreciate our continued development of the Linux
device-driver environment, which received an update to Linux 6.1.20
(Section [Device drivers]) and ultimately enabled us to use the same Wifi
stack across PC and ARM platforms
(Section [Uniform Wifi stack across PC and ARM platforms]).
Even though not end-user facing yet, two noteworthy development milestones of
the current release are the new use of our custom base-hw microkernel as x86
hypervisor (Section [Base-HW microkernel]) and the profound work on storage
encryption covered in
Section [Revision of Genode's custom block-encryption infrastructure].
Further topics making an appearance in version 23.05 range from RISC-V, over
WireGuard, VirtualBox, to seL4.
Goa tool updated to Sculpt OS 23.04, initial support for Rust
#############################################################
Last month, we [https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-23.04 - released]
Sculpt OS 23.04 for PC and PinePhone. The new release comes with various
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-05-11-sculpt-os - usability improvements]
such as presets and on-target system updates.
[image mobile_sculpt_23_04]
Interactive software management on the mobile variant of Sculpt OS
In particular, with Sculpt OS 23.04 running on the PinePhone, we have carved
out the base for hosting mobile apps on a Genode-based system. Yet, there are
only very few apps available right now. Since an OS is of no practical use
without apps, this urgently called for an SDK to simplify (mobile) app
development. After careful investigation, we opted for porting the
Ubuntu-Touch-UI toolkit to Genode and integrate it into Goa (Section
[Using Goa for bringing apps based on the Ubuntu-Touch-UI toolkit to Genode]),
our streamlined workflow tool for application development. In addition, we
integrated initial support for Rust's _cargo_ to make Goa palatable to a
broader developer audience (Section [Initial Rust support]).
The growing attention of the Goa tool prompted us to move it under the
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-05-02-goa-genode-labs - umbrella of Genode Labs]
as we are increasing our development and maintenance efforts for the tool.
Aligned with the Sculpt release, the Goa tool has been updated with the
corresponding depot archive versions. With this Genode release, we put a
cherry on top and added bash completion to improve the user experience even
further. Having Goa installed, bash completion is enabled by the following
commands:
! goa update-goa master
! GOA_DIR=$(realpath $(which goa) | sed s#bin/goa##)
! echo "source ${GOA_DIR}/share/bash-completion/goa" >> ~/.bashrc

[https://github.com/genodelabs/goa/]
Using Goa for bringing apps based on the Ubuntu-Touch-UI toolkit to Genode
==========================================================================
While writing mobile apps might be fun, it is outside our core expertise.
Therefore, we have looked into ways of supporting established open-source SDKs
for app development on Genode. We investigated two possible options in depth,
namely Ubuntu Touch's UI toolkit now called [https://lomiri.com - Lomiri] and
the [https://docs.sailfishos.org/Tools/Sailfish_SDK - Sailfish SDK]. We have
tried to port applications for both stacks and after many iterations settled
with the Ubuntu UI toolkit. The full story can be read
[https://genodians.org/ssumpf/2023-05-06-ubunutu_ui - here]. Therefore, a port
of the Ubuntu UI toolkit is available on Genode right now and support for it
has been added to the Goa tool.
The workflow for crafting an app for the PinePhone using the Goa tool is a
fairly streamlined experience now:
# Since the UI toolkit depends on Qt5, add "genodelabs/api/qt5" to your
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2019-11-25-goa - _used_apis_ file]
# Add "ssumpf/pkg/ubuntu_ui_toolkit" to your _archives_

Initial Rust support
====================
The Rust programming language has grown in popularity in the recent years.
The Genode OS Framework had support for the Rust programming language
before, contributed to Genode release 16.05 by Waylon Cude. However, as an
on-off contribution it never got traction and the support was eventually
removed with release 20.05.
While the original support focused on some low-level runtime libraries and
integration into the Genode build system, our new attempt has a somewhat
different objective, which is to facilitate the use of the existing Rust
ecosystem on the Genode OS Framework. The removal note already envisioned a
possible comeback using the Goa tool and Rust's cargo build system, for which
we have added initial support with this release.
Our objective led to the following guidelines for Rust integration:
# Make use of the native build system, cargo, to make the existing ecosystem
accessible.
# Aim for a seamless integration into the Genode OS Framework using the Goa
build tool.
# Instead of introducing our own Genode
[https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html - target triples],
leverage Genode's FreeBSD-based C library interface to use existing
supported standard library targets like 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd'.
# Strive to use the upstream tool chain, or at least stay as close to upstream
as possible.
While we largely succeeded in following these guidelines, our initial
proof-of-concept implementation relies on a marginally adapted tool chain to
work around missing support for versioned library symbols in our linker.
We are exploring avenues to overcome these limitations and expand the support
to cover more complex use cases in the next release.

Uniform Wifi stack across PC and ARM platforms
##############################################
Support for wireless LAN was mostly focused on the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.11#Intel_wireless_stack - PC platform]
as it was the platform predominately used for using Genode and, in extension,
Sculpt on a daily basis. In the last couple of years, however, we started to
embrace ARM-based platforms like the MNT Reform 2 and the PinePhone as well,
longing for thorough support of Sculpt OS on such systems. Thanks to our Linux
device-driver environment, we have now taken the opportunity to reuse the
existing wireless stack on vastly different platforms.
Making the wireless stack globally accessible
---------------------------------------------
The
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.02#Realtek_Wifi - previous release]
already featured additional support for a different wireless LAN device driver -
the rtlwifi driver that supports Realtek-based devices - giving us a good
intuition on how easy it has become to extend even a complex Linux-based
driver component stack such as our wifi-driver component ('wifi_drv').
The first step was making it less x86-centric. We started by making the various
ingredients of the driver available on the ARM platforms.
On the one hand, that includes the WPA supplicant and its dependencies like
the 'nl80211' driver that in turn depends on 'libnl'. Enabling them was
straight-forward because they are already pretty platform independent and
the platform-dependent portions, e.g. libcrypto, are readily available for ARM.
On the other hand, the wireless stack was slightly more complicated because
the hardware integration of wireless networking devices on ARM platforms
varies from platform to platform. In case of the MNT Reform 2 and PC, the
integrated wireless devices are normally connected via PCIe. In contrast, the
PinePhone relies on SDIO. We separated the code to allow for a "mix-and-match"
way of selecting the necessary compilation units as the used Linux
configuration might differ between each target and could result in compilation
issues otherwise.
The next step was to make the wireless stack globally accessible by moving it
from the _pc_ to the _dde_linux_ repository. This move was motivated by the
fact that the _dde_linux_ repository is already available in all platform or
rather board-specific repositories while the _pc_ repository is not. It is
in itself a board-specific repository and therefore having it appear as
dependency for other such repositories feels unnatural.
So the bulk of the driver code now lives in the _dde_linux_ repository from
where it can be referenced by other repositories.
While moving the code, we noticed that in contrast to all other Linux-based
drivers the 'wifi_drv' is special. Since the binary itself is a libc component,
care was taken to isolate the application code, the 'wpa_supplicant', from
the driver code, the library containing the Linux wireless stack and drivers.
On all platforms, the binary stays the same while the driver library contains
all the platform-specific code. For this reason, the 'wifi_drv' binary is now
delegated to be a generic harness that includes all configuration and
management functionality shared by all wireless device driver components,
e.g., the WPA supplicant. The code of the device driver emulation environment
is located in _repos/dde_linux/src/lib/wifi_. It is referenced by the
platform-specific driver library that resides in the corresponding platform
repository. The runtime configuration needs to point the driver to a proper
driver library.
The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the 3rd-party
sources utilized by the driver as well as providing the _source.list_ and
_dep.list_ files. It must include the generic library snippet
_repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc_ that deals with managing the emulation
environment code. The amount of code added by the platform-specific libraries
is unimposing as it mostly consists of the dummy implementations needed by
the Linux configuration.
[image wifi_drv_architecture]
Composition of the wireless LAN driver component
All recipes for the depot archives are prefixed to the specific driver, for
example 'pkg/pc_wifi' contains a reference to 'src/pc_wifi_drv' as well as to
'raw/pc_wifi_firmware'.
Thanks to the steps outlined above, we now have three different wireless LAN
drivers, one for the PinePhone, one for the MNT Reform 2, and one for the PC
that nicely follow the same approach.
New firmware loading mechanism
------------------------------
Additionally to making it easier to enable and use the driver for new
platforms, we also refined how the driver loads its firmware images. In the
past, the driver contained a list of well-known working firmware images that
needed to be updated every now and then when new devices where enabled or the
firmware version changed due to a Linux update. In particular using the driver
with new devices was cumbersome as the driver itself already supported the
device most of the time, but it solely missed the corresponding entry in the
firmware list and adding that required recompiling the driver.
[image wifi_firmware_loading]
Firmware image loading sequence
So instead, the driver now loads the firmware images via its local VFS rather
than requesting a predetermined ROM module. Since the platform-specific driver
library has no direct access to the VFS - after all both worlds are
intentionally isolated from each other - a request/response interface was
added. The library submits a request to the _wifi_drv_ binary and will suspend
its execution waiting for the completion of the request. The binary will
acquire the firmware image and notify the driver library in return.
Streamlining the firmware acquisition in such a manner allows for using the
original probing mechanism available in Linux. Rather than following the
firmware list the actual driver code is now free to probe as it sees fit,
exactly pointing to the required uAPI revision in case the firmware is
missing.
The following snippet illustrates the configuration of the driver on the
PinePhone (omitting any integration-related routes for the config ROM as well
as state and scan reports):
!<start name="wifi_drv" caps="250" priority="-1">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="32M"/>
! <config ld_verbose="yes">
! <report mac_address="true"/>
! <libc stdout="/dev/log" stderr="/dev/log"
! rtc="/dev/rtc" rng="/dev/urandom"/>
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev"> <log/> <null/> <rtc/>
! <jitterentropy name="random"/>
! <jitterentropy name="urandom"/>
! <wifi/>
! </dir>
! <dir name="firmware">
! <tar name="wifi_firmware.tar"/>
! </dir>
! </vfs>
! </config>
! <route>
! <service name="ROM" label="wifi.lib.so">
! <parent label="a64_wifi.lib.so"/>
! </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="wifi_firmware.tar">
! <parent label="a64_wifi_firmware.tar"/>
! </service>
! <service name="ROM" label="dtb">
! <parent label="wifi-pinephone.dtb"/>
! </service>
! […]
! <any-services> <parent/> <any->child/> </service>
! </route>
!</start>
In this configuration, the firmware images are provided as a _.tar_ archive
that itself is requested via a ROM connection. The driver will always look
into the _/firmware_ directory to access any firmware related files. How the
directory is populated is up to the integrator of the driver.
As a further simplification step, we removed the need for the firmware library
used to contain firmware images. It is superseded by the use of a plain data
depot archive, e.g., _raw/pc_wifi_firmware_.
Additional device support and updates
-------------------------------------
We updated the firmware images to the most recent ones supported by
Linux version 6.1.20.
We enabled the ath9k PCIe driver that can be used on the MNT Reform 2 and the
PC. As the ath9k device (168c:0034) used to test the driver on the PC exhibited
problems when using MSIs, we disable their usage in the 'pci_decoder'. Similar
treatment might be necessary if other ath9k-based devices are used.
The device support in the 'rtlwifi' driver got extended by additionally
enabling support for RTL8192CE devices.
Furthermore, we updated the WPA supplicant to its latest v2.10 release and
introduce preliminary support for joining networks secured by WPA3.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
New tool chain based on GCC 12.3, C++20 enabled by default
==========================================================
Following a regular cycle of two years, we updated our tool chain to recent
versions again, this time in particular to GCC 12.3.0, binutils 2.40, and GDB
13.1 while taking the opportunity to enable C++20 by default.
A noticeable change with GCC 12 is that auto-vectorization with the
'-ftree-vectorize' option is now enabled by default when building with the
'-O2' optimization level. This has the effect that more SIMD instructions are
generated, which required adaptations throughout our code base, for example by
making sure that memory allocations in ported Linux drivers adhere a suitable
address alignment and by saving and restoring ARMv8 FPU registers in the
dynamic linker.
In addition to that, GCC 12 reports new warnings and errors, which we had to
rectify at various places, the most common ones being:
* Deprecated arithmetics between different enumeration types,
* Deprecated use of '++' and '--' operators with volatile variables, and
* Undefined references to 'strlen' inside custom implementations
of 'strlen'-like functions, related to the
'-ftree-loop-distribute-patterns' option.
As an extra feature, we added Genode's library name patterns to the linker so
that the '-l' option has become able to find the corresponding libraries.
This is useful while porting 3rd-party software based on Autoconf, whenever a
'configure' script checks for a library dependency by linking a test program
with this option. This change thereby removes the need for dummy libraries
that were formerly used to satisfy the probing.
API changes
===========
As part of Genode's
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/16.08#Cultivation_of_the_new_text-output_API - great API revision]
in 2016, we largely *abolished* the use of *format strings* throughout the
framework. This is desirable because a code base without format strings cannot
have format-string vulnerabilities. Still, a few occurrences, specifically the
interface for passing session-construction arguments, remained untouched since
then. With version 23.05, we finally attained our initial goal by wrapping up
the transition.
In particular, we revised 'Genode::Connection', which now accepts the session
label, affinity, and session-specific parameters as constructor arguments,
whereas the parameters are passed as a 'Genode::String'. This eliminates the
need for rendering a format string. Given this new interface, we were able to
remove format strings from all connection types, updated all components that
still happened to rely on format strings, and ultimately removed format
strings from Genode's base API.
Format strings still play a role to accommodate 3rd-party code ported
to Genode. Whenever the 3rd-party code targets the C runtime, format
strings are readily available via the libc. For free-standing ports that
avoid the dependency from the full C runtime, e.g., ported device drivers,
a new 'format' library based on Genode's former _base/snprintf.h_ and
_base/console.h_ provides rudimentary format-string support. The library
is hosted in the libports repository.
As another matter of housekeeping, we removed the _util/avl_string.h_ utility.
The use case of organizing objects by using strings as keys is covered by the
_util/dictionary.h_ now.
Towards kernel-agnostic DMA protection
======================================
As sketched in our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], we plan
having a feature-complete PC version of Sculpt OS based on base-hw by the end
of this year. One of the reasons why we are still sticking to base-nova for
the PC version is the fact that we are relying on NOVA's IOMMU support. One
necessary step to decouple Sculpt OS from base-nova is to integrate the IOMMU
handling into the platform driver.
Motivated by our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.02#Custom_IP_block_for_DMA_protection_on_AMD_Xilinx_Zynq - custom IP block for DMA protection on AMD/Xilinx Zynq],
we integrated the notion of IOMMU-like devices into the platform driver with
this release as a preparatory step. The platform driver automatically acquires
known IOMMU-like devices for itself by looking at the device types. Other
devices can then reference these devices by using '<io_mmu>' nodes. This is
best illustrated by looking at the devices ROM for the Zynq's dma_guard IP
block:
! <devices>
!
! <device type="dma_guard" name="dma_guard_0">
! <!-- [...] -->
! </device>
!
! <device type="axi_dma" name="axi_dma_0">
! <io_mmu name="dma_guard_0"/>
! <!-- [...] -->
! </device>
!
! </devices>
This tells the platform driver that, whenever a DMA buffer is allocated/freed
for the session owning the 'axi_dma_0' device, the 'dma_guard_0' must be
configured accordingly in order to allow/deny access to the corresponding
memory ranges. With the structural changes to the platform driver, the support
for dma_guard devices is simply added by implementing specific 'Io_mmu' and
'Io_mmu_factory' objects. You can find the code in the _dma_guard.h_ within
the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-zynq/blob/master/src/drivers/platform/zynq/dma_guard.h - genode-zynq repo].
For the PC version of the platform driver, we implemented a _kernel_iommu_
device that still uses device PDs to pass IOMMU configuration to the NOVA
kernel. The _kernel_iommu_ is automatically instantiated and used as a default
for each device until we replaced this by a kernel-agnostic implementation in
a future release.
With these preparations, we paved the way for implementing configuration logic
for arbitrary IOMMU-like devices within the platform driver. In particular,
the platform driver has been made capable of managing multiple IOMMU-like
devices at the same time. However, there is one limitation that comes from the
fact that DMA buffers are not device-specific but allocated per session: All
IOMMU-like devices must either operate as MMU (virtual addressing) or as MPU
(physical addressing).
Revision of Genode's custom block-encryption infrastructure
===========================================================
Tresor library
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For about two years, our Ada/SPARK-based CBE block encryption and its GUI
front-end, the file vault, served us well with rather manageable workloads
such as configuration and credential files in Sculpt OS on the PC. However,
with the rise of mobile Sculpt on the PinePhone, the CBE ecosystem was
suddenly confronted with new challenges and requirements.
First, mobile platforms are usually less forgiving when it comes to
performance and the CBE still exhibited a lot of potential for optimization.
Second, we envision encrypted storage to become an integral part of the base
system - the "appliance role" of mobile Sculpt OS - which shifts the role of
the component from an optional feature to a foundational mechanism. With this
role shift, however, maintainability becomes increasingly important. Third,
now that we decided to settle on this block-encryption approach and to
increasingly expose it to real workloads, we can expect new requirements to
pop up more frequently and with higher priority. Last but not least, our
Ada/SPARK runtime, so far, lacks ARM support.
This prospect forced us to carefully reconsider our relation to the existing
CBE approach, and especially to the fact that its core logic and crypto
back-end were entirely written in Ada/SPARK. When we started developing the
CBE in Ada/SPARK, we were positive that the language might become popular
among the core developers of Genode and that, eventually, other, especially
critical parts of the framework could benefit from it as well. But this idea
didn't come to fruition. Only a few of us came in touch with the new language
and, of those, even fewer acquired profound experience with it. We ultimately
realized that the friction caused by the added language boundary that emerged
with the CBE approach became a bottleneck, inhibiting the further evolution of
our block-encryption stack with a strong sense of collective code ownership.
This observation in mind, and the above-mentioned challenges in sight, we
decided to drop the CBE library and create a new implementation strongly
inspired by the CBE design but in C++, our "mother tongue". The new library is
called tresor, brings the same feature set as the CBE and is compatible with
containers created with the CBE. The file vault has been adapted to run with
the tresor library. So file-vault users can continue using their containers as
usual without further ado. The entire tresor-based ecosystem is
architecture-agnostic, which lifts the former restriction to x86.
File Vault
~~~~~~~~~~
Some new features have been added to the file vault. For instance, the
component can now be driven with one of two available user interfaces: The
usual graphical front-end or the new non-interactive interface that is driven
by a textual configuration and provides feedback through a report. This allows
for the integration of the file vault with automated controls respectively
lower or higher-level UIs. The interactive interface remains the default, but
one can replace it with the text-based variant using the new "user_interface"
configuration attribute. An example of operating the text-based interface is
provided by the new _file_vault_config_report.run_ script.
As another rather small but handy feature, a file vault can now be locked and
unlocked without having to restart the component. In the locked state, all key
material is removed from the cryptographic back end and the block-encryption
driver is shut down. The user is then prompted to provide the correct
credentials in order to re-establish access to the container.
Custom virtual machine monitor on ARM
=====================================
The
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.02#Interactive_graphical_VMs_on_ARM - previous release], introduced interactive graphical VMs on ARM systems.
Genode's custom virtual machine monitor was enhanced by VirtIO device models
for input events and GPU. However, dynamic changes of the virtual GPU's
framebuffer resolution weren't yet handled by the initial version. With the
current release, these restrictions got removed. Now, the user is able to
resize the window of a virtual machine as expected.
NetBSD rump kernel on RISC-V
============================
We have added RISC-V to our port of the
[https://wiki.netbsd.org/rumpkernel - rump kernel].
This enables Genode to access commodity file-systems on RISC-V based devices.
Strengthened fault tolerance of on-target package management
============================================================
Genode's way of safely installing and deploying packages on-target - as
introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#On-target_package_installation_and_deployment - version 18.02] -
is a corner stone of Sculpt OS. The recent move of Sculpt OS to mobile
devices, however, revealed a couple of limitations that we address with the
current release.
First, in contrast to the PC version of Sculpt OS that allows for the
straight-forward management and editing of files using a regular command-line
interface, a touch-based user interface as present on the phone is far more
constrained. Problems that can be solved by manual intervention on the PC
without second thought can become insurmountable showstoppers on the phone.
The most prominent problem is recovery from the situation where package
dependencies remain incomplete due to an interruption of the installation
process or due to packaging mistakes. On the PC, such a situation can be
resolved by simply clearing the depot using a single terminal command,
followed by a reinstall of the package. On the phone, the user was left out in
the cold with the message "package installed but incomplete" but with no
obvious or non-obvious way of recovery. The new version gracefully handles
this failure state by offering the retry of the package installation.
Second, network connectivity is far more fluctuating on mobile devices, which
increases the likelihood for download errors. The previous version that
regarded download errors as rare and sporadic issues, responded to such errors
by repeated and silent retries. We found that a mobile phone demands a more
graceful way to reflect such failure situations to the user, and to limit the
rate of futile download attempts. The new version preserves information about
download failures for user inspection and re-issues new downloads only if not
already flagged as unavailable.
Finally, we encountered the manual addition of software providers to the
system as a hurdle on the phone. On the PC, a new software provider can be
added by manually placing the provider's _download_ and _pubkey_ files in a
local depot directory, which is straight-forward when using a shell. However,
on a touch-screen device, there is no obvious and simple way to supplement the
system with such information. To still accommodate the user's desire to
download and install software from arbitrary providers, we added the option to
explicitly skip the signature verification for downloads. This is useful in
scenarios where the lack of integrity of downloaded content does not pose a
risk, e.g., for untrusted applications that are rigidly sandboxed, or during
development.
Whenever the depot-download subsystem encounters the attribute 'verify="no"'
for an '<installation>' item, it accepts the installation even if no key is
available. It still applies verification for dependencies whenever possible.
E.g., if a package of the provider "john" gets installed via 'verify="no"' and
the package depends on an archive by "genodelabs", for which the public key is
known, the integrity of the content originating from "genodelabs" is verified.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Qt5 reorganization
==================
When the Goa tool is used to build an application, all libraries of the used
API packages get linked to the application and the single Qt5 API package with
big libraries like QtWebEngine was a bit too much for simple Qt applications.
For this reason, we split the Qt5 API into smaller packages according to the
corresponding Qt modules.
As preparation for the release of a binary version of the Qt5 host tools, we
also reduced the external dependencies of these tools for improved
compatibility with different host systems and changed their install location
to the location of the other Genode host tools.
And finally, we added a 'ubuntu-ui-toolkit' meta package in the genode-world
repository which pulls in all dependencies for the Ubuntu UI toolkit,
including a runtime with the required ROMs.
WireGuard improvements
======================
There are two smaller changes related to Genode's port of WireGuard. First,
peers can now be removed from WireGuard at runtime by removing the
corresponding '<peer>' tags from the component's configuration. This operation
enforces the same assurances as removing a peer from a native WireGuard driver
in Linux.
The second change has to do with the nature of the port. The WireGuard port is
one of the rare examples where we use our Linux device driver environment
(dde_linux) for porting software that is not exactly a driver. The component
does not depend on a specific hardware configuration and therefore, the
emulated Linux kernel can be platform-agnostic. Consequently, while porting,
we created such a variant of the Linux emulation specifically for WireGuard.
However, we realized that this variant can come in handy for ports of other
hardware-agnostic kernel parts (for instance, lxip) as well. Therefore, we now
cut it out of the WireGuard port in order to make it a self-contained version
of the 'lx_emul' library. The new library is called 'virt_lx_emul' and is
accompanied by the 'virt_linux' target that can be used to build the
corresponding Linux kernel and run it in Qemu.
Updated or removed 3rd-party software
=====================================
VirtualBox updated to version 6.1.44
------------------------------------
Our port of VirtualBox underwent some maintenance work published in this
release. With the tool chain updated to GCC 12, it became necessary to update
VirtualBox to version 6.1.44 to keep up with the tool-chain changes and fix
many upstream bugs alongside. Also, we improved several aspects of the port to
improve robustness of networking, USB, multi-threading, and VM reboot. After
thorough testing in every-day scenarios, we finally adopted the handling of
the x86 time-stamp counter from version 5 and disabled the VM exit for the
RDTSC instruction, which improves the performance of selected scenarios
significantly. For Windows guests, it has become crucial to configure the
paravirtualization provider like follows in the _machine.vbox6_ file.
Otherwise, the guest's TSC calibration fails resulting in a bogus CPU
frequency assumption.
! <Paravirt provider="HyperV"/>
Removed ports of pcre16 and icu libraries
-----------------------------------------
The pcre16 and icu libraries had been used by Qt5 in the past but were not
used anymore since the last Qt updates. So we removed them from the _libports_
repository.
Device drivers
##############
Linux device driver environment updated to Linux 6.1.20
=======================================================
According to [https://genode.org/about/road-map - our roadmap], the update of
Genode's Linux device driver environment (DDE) to a more recent 6.x Linux
version was planned for release 23.08. Now, we decided to tackle this update
with this version already.
Besides the Wireguard port to Genode, the following ported drivers use the
latest Linux kernel 6.1.20 version now:
* Zynq SD-card driver
* PCI Wifi driver for i.MX 8MQ
* all PC drivers (USB host, Wifi, Intel display)
Note that a few drivers are not listed above. The existing drivers for the
Allwinner and i.MX 8MQ SoC still use older 5.x Linux kernel versions as base.
However, the Linux device driver environment has been tweaked carefully to
support a range of Linux kernel versions from 5.11 till 6.1.20.
While doing the update work, we investigated a more sustainable link between
the Linux kernel drivers for USB and display drivers (DRM/KMS) on the one
hand, and the Genode API on the other. The outcome is explained in the next
two sections.
Intel display driver
====================
During the update of DDE Linux to the Linux 6.1.20 version, the dependency on
internal structures of the Intel framebuffer driver (intel_fbdev) became a
hassle. Although the update was successful finally, we decided to remove the
direct usage of intel_fbdev in our ported Intel display driver, in order to
ease future updates. Nevertheless, the functionality of intel_fbdev is
required to manage the framebuffer memory to provide a working Genode GUI
interface by the driver. For that, we investigated the use of the
[https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/gpu/drm-kms.html - Linux DRM/KMS]
interface, specifically to allocate and manage so called
[https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/gpu/drm-kms.html#dumb-buffer-objects - dumb buffer objects].
As described in the linked article, the dumb buffers are a standardized and
streamlined way to make early boot graphics possible driven by user-land
tools. We adjusted our port along the ioctl's of the dumb buffer functionality
to manage the framebuffer in our ported display driver.
USB
===
Connecting different USB clients to a USB host controller driver is a delicate
task. When using a port of a Linux kernel driver, it can quickly become
brittle because the USB driver API in the Linux kernel is complex and contains
some semantic dependencies, for instance regarding synchronization, which are
not always obvious. However, the Linux kernel offers a USB device I/O API to
the user-land that is used for instance by libusb. This API has to guard the
USB subsystem against wrong usage, and implements the necessary semantics
regarding synchronization and dynamic changes of clients and devices. In the
past, we repeatedly encountered corner-case issues, if clients or devices
vanished and appeared at a high rate. For the sake of robustness, we decided
to redesign our internal linking in between the Genode USB API and Linux to
use the user-level device I/O API of the latter. Moreover, we extended the
capacity of USB packets in-flight that can be handled by the controller in
parallel to 32, to enhance the throughput for some USB devices.
NVMe storage
============
Our custom NVMe driver received the following improvements. First we added
'host-memory-buffer' (HMB) support to the driver, which is a performance
optimization for NVMe devices that do not make use of a DRAM cache for its
operational data.
The amount of memory used for the HMB can be set by adding the 'max_hmb_size'
attribute in the '<config>' node of the driver. This value is checked against
the constraints imposed by the device. Should the value be less than the
minimal required amount of memory, it will not be used and a warning is
issued. On the other hand, if the specified value is larger than the preferred
amount of memory as favored by the device, it will be capped to the useful
amount instead.
Naturally, when using the HMB, the required RAM quota of the driver component
increases by that amount.
Second, we fixed a problem detecting the block size (LBA format) of a given
namespace. The lower 4 bits of the 'FLABS' register indicate which of the (up
to) 16 supported LBA formats is used by the namespace. However, instead of
only making use of those bits, the driver looked at the whole register that
also includes other information. This led to using the wrong index for reading
the LBA format and, on certain devices, rendered the driver unusable as the
assumed block size was detected wrong.
Audio-driver update
===================
We updated the audio driver for HDA devices ported from OpenBSD to version 7.3.
The functional changes are minimal, but the new version supports more recent
PC platforms and recognizes more codecs.
Platforms
#########
Base-HW microkernel
===================
Principle x86 virtualization support (on Qemu)
----------------------------------------------
This release brings limited support for AMD's Secure Virtual Machine (SVM)
vCPUs to Genode's custom base-hw microkernel. Supporting SVM is meant as an
intermediate step towards enabling advanced virtualization workloads using
VirtualBox on Intel VMX later this year. The approach allows us to craft the
kernel's virtualization infrastructure using Qemu - which is able to emulate
SVM in software - and cross-test our implementation against other hypervisors
in a tightly controlled setting. For reference, we used the time-tested Qemu
version 4.2 for this line of work.
Implementing principle vCPU support revealed a few points of friction between
base-hw's kernel interface, which had been designed for the needs of our
custom ARM VMM, and our kernel-agnostic VM interface on x86 that has been
carefully crafted to support a range of 3rd party hypervisors, but relies on
more logic in the kernel-specific VMM library to manage the vCPU state.
The current implementation is able to run several test VM workloads like the
artificial 'vmm_x86' test, our seoul VMM run scripts with Linux, and - of
course - Genode VMs on one vCPU. It has thereby reached an important stepping
stone towards our actual goal of hosting VirtualBox on Intel hardware.
Having shown that base-hw can support the generic x86 VM interface, we will
mature our implementation and may adapt our interface to make it a better fit
to base-hw's vCPU execution model in the future.
Boot-time RAM detection on the PinePhone
----------------------------------------
For the PinePhone, we implemented dynamic detection of the system RAM size by
parsing the values of the DRAM controller as programmed by U-Boot. This way, 2
and 3 GB models of the PinePhone are supported by Genode.
Updated seL4 microkernel
========================
With this release, we updated the support of the seL4 kernel from 9.0.1 to
12.1.0 for i.MX6 Sabrelite board and x86_64 PC. The support for 32-bit PC got
removed since it is unused, and the i.MX7 Sabrelite support got removed since
it is not supported by the new seL4 kernel anymore.
The updated seL4 kernel requires additional host tools installed, namely
CMake, Ninja and additional Python3 modules, jinja2, jschonschema, and pyfdt.
Depending on the distribution, the modules are available as distribution
package or need to be installed with the python pip3 tool.

===============================================
Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 23.08
===============================================
Genode Labs
The headline features of Genode 23.08 are concerned with developer tooling.
First, we re-approached Genode's GDB debugging support with the grand vision
of easy on-target debugging directly on Sculpt OS. Our new debug monitor
introduced in Section [Multi-component debug monitor] combines the GDB
protocol with Genode's init component. Thereby, the monitor can transparently
be integrated in Genode subsystems and can be used to debug multiple
components simultaneously.
Second, the Goa tool, which started as an experiment in 2019, has been shaped
into an all-encompassing alternative to Genode's traditional work flows for
developing, porting, and publishing applications. The tool got vastly more
flexible with respect to runtime testing, and even became able to handle
dependencies between Goa projects. The massive improvements are covered in
Section [Goa tool gets usability improvements and depot-index publishing support].
Besides the headline features of the release, we admittedly deviated from the
original plans laid out on our [http:/about/road-map - road map]. Early-on in
the release cycle, we found ourselves drawn to code modernization, the
retiring of legacies, and quality assurance. E.g., we finally updated some of
the most veteran internals of the framework to our modern-day coding
practices, we urged to continue the success story of our new Linux
device-driver environment (DDE) by replacing old USB drivers by new components
leveraging the modern approach, and created a new DDE-Linux-based NIC driver
for PC hardware while retiring the aged iPXE-based traditional driver. The
outcome of this tireless work may hardly be visible from a feature perspective.
But it greatly improves the velocity and quality of the code to maintain down
the road.
It goes without saying that the other topics of the road map haven't been
disregarded. In fact we celebrated a break-through with x86 virtualization
on our base-hw kernel, are diving deep into the latest Intel platforms, and
working on the user-visible side of the mobile version of Sculpt OS. But since
those topics are not wrapped up yet, we all have to stay tuned for the next
release.
Multi-component debug monitor
#############################
The debugging of Genode components using the GNU debugger (GDB) was already
an anticipated feature when we introduced the first version of the GDB monitor
component in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.05#GDB_monitor_experiment - 11.05]
and refined it in the subsequent releases
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/12.02#GDB_monitor_refinements_and_automated_test - 12.02],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.11#GNU_Debugger - 13.11] (on-target GDB), and
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/16.05#Enhanced_GDB_support_on_NOVA - 16.05] (supporting NOVA).
Despite these efforts, the feature remained rarely used in practice.
In most situations, manual instrumentation with debug messages or the use
of GDB with the Linux version of Genode remain to be the instruments of choice.
Driven by the vision of easy on-target debugging on Sculpt OS, we identified
the following limitations of the existing GDB monitor that stand in the way.
# The GDB monitor supports only one component as debugging target, which makes
the debugging of scenarios where components closely interact difficult.
# The existing implementation re-uses the gdbserver code and thereby inherits
many POSIX peculiarities that must be stubbed for Genode, yet make the
overall implementation complex. Genode is not POSIX after all.
# The integration of the GDB monitor into an existing scenario is a fairly
invasive change that requires too much work.
Given these limitations as a backdrop, two key ideas motivated a new approach
for the revision of Genode's GDB support for this release:
First, by using Genode's sandbox API as foundation for a new debug monitor,
we would become able to use the monitor as drop-in replacement for 'init',
potentially going as far as using the monitor for Sculpt's runtime subsystem.
Wouldn't that approach vastly simplify the integration issue (3)?
Second, GDB supports the debugging of multiple processes (called inferiors)
within one session, which would in principle allow us to inspect and debug
component compositions, addressing the first limitation.
And third, the casual review of the documentation of the GDB protocol left
the impression that a Genode-tailored implementation shouldn't be that
complicated.
The result of these ideas is the new *monitor* component at _os/src/monitor_
as the designated successor of the traditional gdb_monitor. By leveraging the
sandbox API, it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the init component
and monitor multiple components. In real-world scenarios like Sculpt's
runtime, we deliberately want/need to restrict the debugging to a few selected
components, however, which calls for the support of a mix of monitored and
regular components hosted side by side. Given this requirement, the sandbox
API had to be enhanced to support the selective interception of PD and CPU
sessions.
Like the original gdb_monitor, the new monitor speaks the GDB remote serial
protocol over Genode's terminal session. But the protocol implementation does
not re-use any gdbserver code, sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.
The monitor supports the essential GDB remote protocol commands for reading
and writing of memory and registers, for stopping and resuming of threads
including single-stepping, and it reports the occurrence of page faults and
exceptions to GDB. Breakpoints are managed by GDB using software breakpoint
instructions. The GDB protocol is operated in GDB's 'non-stop' mode, which
means that threads of multiple inferiors can be stopped and resumed
individually or in groups, depending on the GDB commands issued by the user.
As of now, the monitor supports NOVA on 64-bit x86 as well as Genode's custom
base-hw kernel on 64-bit ARM and x86. The 64-bit ARM support required a change
in Genode's customized GDB port to enable shared-library support for this
architecture. So in order to use Genode's host GDB with the monitor on 64-bit
ARM, the Genode tool chain needs to be rebuilt with the _tool/tool_chain_
script.
There exist three run scripts illustrating the new component. The
_os/run/monitor.run_ script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
and memory modification via the 'M' command by letting a test program monitor
itself. The _os/run/monitor_gdb.run_ script performs automated tests of various
GDB commands and the _os/run/monitor_gdb_interactive.run_ script allows for the
interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored components.
Details about the configuration of the monitor component are given by the
README file at the _os/src/monitor/_ directory.
Goa tool gets usability improvements and depot-index publishing support
#######################################################################
Moving the Goa tool under the umbrella of Genode Labs in the previous release
unleashed a wave of substantial improvements.
Most significantly, we were able to integrate support for depot-index projects
into Goa (Section [Support of index projects]). This greatly simplifies the
publishing of user-specific Goa projects for the upcoming Sculpt release.
One of the game-changing features of Goa is its ability to easily test-run
applications on the host system leveraging Genode's ABI compatibility between
different kernels. However, in various instances, we still required customized
runtime scenarios in order to render an application runnable by Goa. With this
release, we further streamlined Goa's base-linux runtime with Sculpt OS
(Section [Run-stage generalization]).
Apart from these major changes, the lately added shared-library support and
Rust support have seen practical improvements.
Support of index projects
=========================
With an increasing number of Genode applications being developed with Goa,
being able to manage and publish a personal depot index with Goa became due.
In the past, we needed to build, export, and publish each individual Goa
project and manually add it to the depot index in order to make it available
for a particular Sculpt release.
For this purpose, we added support for index projects to Goa. An index project
is defined by an 'index' file. This file follows the structure of a depot index
but only names the archive names (lacking depot user and version). The
'goa export' command augments these names with the current depot user and
version information. By running 'goa publish', the result is published as a
depot index for the current Sculpt version.
As Goa supports a hierarchical project structure, an index project may
contain subdirectories with other Goa projects that provide the corresponding
pkg archives. The 'goa export' command issued within such an index project
recursively scans the working directory for any Goa project providing the
required depot archives or any of their dependencies, and exports these
subprojects as well.
To make working with index projects an even more joyful experience, we changed
the way Goa looks up version information. Goa used to expect the current
version of each required depot archive to be specified in a goarc file. For
each Goa project, however, a 'version' file may be used to specify the current
version. This file was only evaluated on export of the particular project.
With this release, Goa now scans the working directory for Goa subprojects in
order to look up their 'version' file. This spares us keeping the 'version'
files and goarc files in sync. The new 'bump-version' command adds another
level of convenience as it automatically updates the 'version' file of a Goa
project. In combination with the '-r' switch, we are now able to update the
version information of all subprojects with a single command.
An example of an index project is found at _examples/index_ in the Goa
repository.
:Goa tool:
[https://github.com/genodelabs/goa/]
Run-stage generalization
========================
In addition to building, exporting, and publishing of depot archives, Goa
supports test-running an application project directly on the development
system by utilizing base-linux. Similarly to how Goa modularized the build
stage to support various build systems, we generalized the run stage to pave
the way for other targets than base-linux. The interface of the generalized
run stage and the current feature set of the linux target is documented by
'goa help targets'.
In the course of generalizing the run stage, we introduced various plausibility
checks to further accelerate application development. For instance, we check
for typos in required and provided services of a runtime, and verify the
availability of required ROM modules.
Furthermore, the linux target underwent a major revision to streamline the
application development for Sculpt OS.
* Scenarios using a terminal component require a fonts file system.
In Sculpt OS, this is typically provided by instantiating a fonts_fs
component. Doing the same in Goa lifts the need to wrap Goa-managed
Sculpt packages in a separate test project.
* A route for the mesa_gpu_drv.lib.so ROM module was implicitly added when
a Gpu was required. For consistency with existing packages, we now require
the runtime file to mention the mesa_gpu_drv.lib.so ROM explicitly.
* For NIC requirements, we used to take the label as the tap-device name to
which the NIC driver was bound. Since the 'label' attribute might be
evaluated differently by Sculpt OS, we introduced the 'tap_name' attribute
instead. For each distinct tap device, we now instantiate a pair of NIC
driver and NIC router. Each router uses a distinct subnet for its default
domain, starting at 10.0.10.0/24 and ending at 10.0.255.0/24.
* The clipboard ROM and Report requirements are now routed to a report_rom
component.
* Arbitrary ROM requirements are routed to an lx_fs component that provides
the files found in the project's _var/rom_ directory as individual ROM
modules. An example resides in _examples/external_rom_. Thanks to Pirmin
Duss for this useful contribution.
* Remaining service requirements that are not handled otherwise will be routed
to a black-hole component.
Improved support for building shared libraries
==============================================
Since release 23.02, we are able to
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.02#Building_and_packaging_CMake-based_shared_libraries__via_Goa_ - build CMake-based shared libraries in Goa].
In this release, this feature has seen a few improvements:
* If available, Goa now calls 'make install' during build in order to install
artifacts into _<build_dir>/install_. For libraries, this typically also
installs include files into this directory. Having all include files in the
build directory is a prerequisite for extracting these as api artifacts
(see 'goa help api').
* We added support for publishing api archives.
* 'goa export' now respects the 'common_var_dir' configuration variable and
'--common-var-dir' command-line option when exporting api archives.
* We fixed an issue that resulted in large binaries when building shared
libraries with Goa.
Quality assurance and usability tweaks
======================================
Increasing our development efforts for the Goa tool demands means to catch
regressions early on. For this purpose, we added a basic testing facility,
which validates that our examples still work as expected. Note that we are
going to address automated testing for arbitrary Goa projects at some point in
the future.
With this release, we changed the name of the '.goarc' files to 'goarc'. The
original intention of these files was to allow user-specific settings
analogously to, e.g., '.bashrc'. However, these files may contain arbitrary Tcl
code, thus having various '.goarc' files checked into git repositories, made
things a little bit too obscure because those files are hidden. When a user
clones a Git repo and invokes Goa commands, this code gets executed. Hence, it
is only fair to bring this code to the user's attention by not hiding it.
In addition to all the aforementioned major changes, we added a couple of minor
usability tweaks:
* We added 'goa help import' in order to document the syntax of the 'import'
file.
* We added the 'goa depot-dir' command that allows initializing a custom depot
directory with the default depot users.
* We added a 'goa run-dir' command that prepares the run directory without
actually running the scenario. This is helpful when the run time of 'goa run'
is automatically evaluated by external scripts since 'goa run-dir' may take a
while downloading the required depot archives.
* We added the 'run_as' configuration variable and '--run-as' command-line
option. This allows changing the depot user from which 'goa run' downloads
the required archives. See 'goa help config' for more details.
Support for the mainline Rust toolchain
=======================================
When we reintroduced Rust on Genode in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Initial_Rust_support - previous]
release, our implementation relied on a slightly adapted Rust toolchain to
work around missing support for versioned library symbols in our linker. With
this release, we are now able to use the mainline 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd'
target provided by Rust project, eliminating the need for a custom toolchain.
On top of the streamlined Rust support, we created a Goa package for a popular
Rust command-line application, which will be published along with updated
system packages in the upcoming Sculpt release.
For details on the mainline Rust toolchain support and the ported package,
take a look at the dedicated
[https://genodians.org/atopia/2023-08-24-enabling-the-upstream-rust-toolchain - blog post on Genodians.org].
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Internal core and base-framework modernization
==============================================
Genode's API received multiple rounds of modernization in the past years. But
some of the framework's deepest internals remained largely unchanged over that
time. Even though one can argue that mature and battle-tested code should
better not be disrupted, our programming practices are not carved in stone.
To make Genode's internal code a delight for reviewers, auditors, and future
maintainers, we revisited the following areas.
Core's page-fault resolution code got reworked for improved clarity and
safety, by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic
types, choosing expressive names, and fostering constness. Along the way, we
introduced a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual instrumentation
and streamlines diagnostic messages printed by core. Those messages no longer
appear when a user-level page-fault handler is registered for the faulted-at
region map. So the monitor component produces less noise on the attempt to
dump non-existing memory.
Closely related to the page-fault handling, we tightened the distinction
between rx and rwx inside core by restricting 'Region_map::attach_executable'
to create read-only mappings, while offering the option to map the full rights
using a new 'attach_rwx' method. The 'attach_rwx' method is now used by the
dynamic linker to explicitly attach the linker area with full rwx rights. With
the old page-fault handling code, the execute flag was evaluated only for leaf
dataspaces, not for managed dataspaces while traversing region-map
hierarchies. With the new page-fault handling code, the execute bit is
downgraded to no-execute when passing a managed dataspace that is not attached
as executable.
We ultimately removed the last traces of the global 'env_deprecated()'
interface that was still relied-on within core and parts of the base library.
Nowadays, we no longer use global accessors but generally employ
dependency-injection patterns. Since the 'env_deprecated()' interface is
closely related to initialization code, the startup code of core and regular
components got largely refactored, eliminating the reliance on global side
effects. As a collateral change, the legacy 'main' support for native Genode
component as well as the now-obsolete 'Entrypoint::schedule_suspend' mechanism
got removed.
API changes
===========
Register framework update
-------------------------
The register framework has been updated to ease its use with '-Wconversion'
warnings enabled, which is the default for Genode components.
When reading from a bitfield, the new version returns the value in the
smallest possible integer type, not the register-access type. This way,
the user of the bitfield value can use appropriate types without the need for
casting. The update also replaces 'bool' access types with 'uint8_t' access
types.
Thanks to this change, the net lib - used by Genode's low-level network
routing components for parsing protocol headers via the register API - has
been made compliant to strict conversion warnings.
Hex-dump utility
----------------
To aid the monitoring, implementation, and debugging of binary protocols, a
handy hex-dump utility got added to _util/formatted_output.h_. The new
'Genode::Hex_dump' class can be used to print a hexadecimal dump of a byte
range. The data is printed in a format similar to that used by the 'xxd'
utility. In addition to the 'xxd' format, consecutive duplicate lines are
replaced with a single "*\n".
Libraries and applications
##########################
New NIC server for raw uplink connectivity
==========================================
With Genode
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#Pluggable_network_device_drivers - 21.02],
we transitioned all network device drivers to act as session clients in order
to make them pluggable. We achieved this by introducing a new _uplink_ service
interface that is very similar to the NIC service but with the peer roles
switched. Up to now, the only uplink server and uplink-to-NIC adapter was the
NIC router. This is reasonable as it is the standard network multiplexer in
Genode and therefore normally sits in front of each network device driver
anyway. However, there is one major issue with this approach: It binds
physical network access to layer 3 and 4 routing respectively layer 2
multiplexing, which, in our case, means that NIC clients can talk to the
physical network only with what is protocol-wise supported by the NIC router.
That's why Genode 23.08 introduces the new NIC-uplink adapter component. It
re-enables raw access to physical networks in Genode by forwarding packets
unmodified and unfiltered between multiple NIC sessions and one uplink
session. The new component is accompanied by a test script _nic_uplink.run_
that demonstrates the low-level integration and a Sculpt package _pkg/pc_nic_
that can be used for deployment in more sophisticated systems together with
the PC NIC-driver as back end.
One constellation, in which the NIC-uplink server will be especially useful for
us is the planned enablement of IPv6 on different layers of Genode's network
stack. More specifically, the tool will allow us to work at IPv6 support in
both Genode's ported TCP/IP stacks and the NIC router at the same time.
New depot-remove component
==========================
_The work described in this section was contributed by Alice Domage._
_Thanks for this welcome addition._
Genode's on-target package management allows for the installation of multiple
versions of the same package side by side, which is useful to roll back the
system to an earlier state, or to accommodate software depending on an older
library version. Software is installed into the so-called _depot_ stored on
the target and populated with downloads on demand. Until now, however, the
on-target depot could only grow, not shrink. Even though this limitation
hasn't been a pressing concern for Sculpt OS on the PC, it impeded embedded
use cases.
The new depot-remove component lifts this limitation by providing an orderly
way to remove depot content and orphaned dependencies. It operates by reading
its configuration and processes delete operations based on the provided rules.
A typical configuration looks as follows.
! <config arch="x86_64" report="yes">
! <remove user="alice" pkg="nano3d"/>
! <remove user="bob" pkg="wm" version="2042-42-42"/>
! <remove-all>
! <keep user="alice" pkg="fonts_fs"/>
! </remove-all>
! </config>
For more details about the configuration options, please refer to the README
file at _/gems/src/app/depot_remove/_. Furthermore, the
_gems/run/depot_remove.run_ script illustrates the component by exercising
several practical use cases.
DDE-Linux changes
=================
With this release, we changed how external events are treated within the
Linux emulation environment.
Whenever an external event occurred, for example timer or interrupt, the
corresponding I/O signal handler was triggered. This handler unblocked the
task waiting for the event and also initiated the immediate execution of all
unblocked tasks. This, however, could lead to nested execution because these
tasks might hit serialization points, e.g., synchronously waiting for packet
stream operations, that under the hood also require handling of other I/O
signals. Such an execution model is not supported and confusing as it mixes
application and I/O level signal handling.
So the flagging of the scheduling intent is now decoupled from its execution by
using an application-level signal handler that is run in the context of the
component's main entrypoint. The I/O signal handler now triggers the scheduling
execution by sending a local signal to the EP and only flags the occurrence
of the external event by unblocking the corresponding task.
In this context, we reworked the interrupt handling itself. Previously all
interrupts were immediately processed in the I/O signal handler and only the
currently pending one was handled. Due to the decoupling change the occurrence
of interrupts becomes merely flagging a state and requires recording all
interrupts and dispatch them consecutively in one go.
To facilitate this convention, the Lx_kit initialization function got extended,
and it is now necessary to pass in a signal handler that is used to perform the
normally occurring scheduler execution. As this signal handler is part of
the main object of the DDE-Linux based component it is the natural place to
perform any additional steps that are required by the component before or after
executing the scheduler.
As it is sometimes necessary to execute a pending schedule from the EP directly,
in case the scheduler is called from within an RPC function, the scheduler is
extended with the 'execute' member function that performs the check that the
scheduler is called from within the EP and triggers the execution afterwards.
Tresor block encryptor
======================
Following the introduction of the tresor library in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Revision_of_Genode_s_custom_block-encryption_infrastructure - previous]
release, we further polished the tresor tester in order to make it run on a
broad spectrum of target platforms. For instance, the test can now be run
without entropy input (permanently warning the user about the security risk)
because some of our test hardware lacks support for it. Besides that, we
mainly worked at the resource consumption of the test - made it more adaptable
or reduced it through improvements. This pleased not only less powerful
hardware but our test management as well.
Furthermore, we fixed a significant former deficiency with the tresor library.
The library used to work on the raw on-disc data without decoding first. This
worked fine for some platforms but caused alignment faults on others. That
said, the tresor library now always decodes into naturally typed and aligned
C++ structs before accessing the data.
Device drivers
##############
Intel GPU
=========
The handling of GPUs is somewhat special within the driver world. A GPU is a
standalone execution unit that can be programmed much like a CPU. In the past,
there were fixed function GPUs, which have been gradually replaced by
dynamically programmable units that execute compiled machine code (think
shader compilers like GLSL or general purpose computing like CUDA or OpenCL).
This leads to a situation where a GPU driver cannot trust the client that
sends its machine code to be executed by the GPU. There exists no sufficient
way of inspecting the compiled machine code for malicious behavior by the GPU
driver. Therefore, the only reasonable solution for a GPU driver is to send
the code to the GPU and hope for the best. In case the code execution is not
successful, GPUs tend to just hang and the only thing a driver can do is to
make sure via an IOMMU that the code does not access arbitrary memory and
program a watchdog timer and reset the GPU to a graceful state in case there
is no proper response. With the current Genode release, we have implemented
this behavior for GEN9 (HD graphics) and GEN12 (Intel Iris Xe).
Intel display
=============
The ported Linux Intel display driver now supports USB Type-C connectors as
used with modern notebooks.
New PC network driver based on DDE-Linux
========================================
Since 2010, we use Ethernet drivers ported from the iPXE project in a tiny
emulation layer on Genode. While those drivers did a good job for the common
cases, they always had some rough edges that may not hurt in the original
network-booting use case but had become a nuisance in Sculpt OS and Genode
in general. Most prominently the dropped link speed with Intel E1000e cards
on cable unplug/plug and the moderate throughput on GBit links had to be
addressed.
Our new DDE Linux approach introduced this year makes the porting of drivers
from the Linux kernel much easier and less labour-intensive as in the past.
Also, Linux is a very tempting Ethernet driver donor because of the variety
of supported devices and the well known excellent performance (especially on
Intel devices). Moreover, the Intel E1000e driver addresses all issues we
had with the iPXE implementation and promises a smooth interplay with Intel
AMT/ME. Note, Intel AMT Serial-over-LAN is still an important debug console
while deploying Genode on Intel-based notebooks.
Hence, the current release brings the new _pc_nic_drv_ for Intel e1000/e1000e,
Realtek 8169, and AMD PCnet32 (Qemu) devices on PC and is fully integrated
into Sculpt OS. Performance-wise the driver easily saturates 1 GBit links in
our throughput tests.
USB host controller
===================
The USB host controller driver ports for Raspberry Pi 1 and i.MX 6 Quad got
updated to Linux kernel version 6.1.37 resp. 6.1.20. Both driver ports share
the renewed device-driver environment approach for Linux introduced in release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - 21.08].
Besides the update of the last remaining outdated USB host controller drivers,
we have reworked the common C/C++ Linux-to-Genode USB back end used by all USB
host controller driver incarnations. The internal changes were necessary to
address issues regarding races during USB session close attempts, resets of
USB endpoints, and potential stalls during synchronous USB RPC calls.
PC audio refinements
====================
In this release, we simplified the memory allocator in the OpenBSD-based
audio-driver component and thereby decreased its memory usage. The memory
subsystem implementation was initially brought over from DDE Linux and is
geared towards use cases where a high-performing allocator is desired. For the
audio driver with its clear memory usage pattern, such an allocator is not
necessary and since no other driver that could benefit from it was ported in
the meantime, we opted for replacing the implementation with a simpler one
with less overhead.
We also adapted the mixer state report mechanism to always generate a new
report on head-phone jack sense events.
Furthermore, we decreased the internal buffer size to implicitly limit the
number of blocks provisioned for recording that brings them in line with the
number of blocks used for playback (2).
Wifi
====
With the [DDE-Linux changes] in place, we had to adapt the initialization
procedure in the wireless LAN driver since it behaves differently to all other
DDE-Linux-based driver components. The driver is actually a 'Libc::Component'
due to its incorporation of the 'wpa_spplicant' application and the driver
itself is confined to its own shared-object to better separate the Linux code.
Since we implement the Linux initcalls as static constructors, we have to
initialize the Lx_kit before those are executed. This is normally not a
problem because they are executed manually from within the drivers main object
on construction. However, in a 'Libc::Component' this happens before our main
object is constructed. In the past, we used a VFS plugin to perform the
initialization - as the VFS is also constructed beforehand - but this is no
longer possible as the driver's main signal handler that now dispatches the
Lx_kit event signals is not available at this point.
We decided therefore to perform a multi-staged boot-up process where the
component is now implemented as regular 'Genode::Component' that triggers the
'Libc::Component' construction manually after performing the Lx_kit
initialization. This change enabled us to remove the VFS 'wifi' plugin that no
longer has to be specified in the VFS configuration.
Furthermore, we removed the handcrafted MAC address reporter in favor of the
Genode C API utility that was recently made available.
PinePhone support for buttons and screensaver
=============================================
To equip the mobile version of Sculpt OS on the PinePhone with a proper
screensaver, we added drivers for detecting user interactions with the
PinePhone's physical buttons, namely the volume buttons and the power button.
The volume buttons are connected via cascaded resistors to a single ADC of the
A64 SoC. The corresponding driver has been added to the genode-allwinner
repository at _src/drivers/button/pinephone/_ and is accompanied by the
_button_pinephone.run_ script. It reports KEY_VOLUMEUP and KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
input events to an event session.
Sensing the power button has been a slightly more delicate issue because the
power button is connected to the power-management IC (PMIC), which shall only
be accessed via the system-control processor (SCP). To detect state changes,
the PMIC's IRQ (routed through the R_INTC to the GIC) is now handled by the
power driver. This has the added benefit that also other interesting PMIC
events (like connecting AC) get immediately reported.
With the button drivers in place, we finally equipped Sculpt OS with a
screensaver as a crucial battery-conserving feature. The screensaver kicks in
after the user remained inactive in the administrative user interface for some
time. It also can be manually activated by pressing the power button. While
the screen is blanked, a press of the power button enables the display again.
Under the hood, Sculpt completely removes the drivers for the display and the
touchscreen while the screen is blanked, which considerably reduces the power
draw. The system also switches the CPU to economic mode while the screen is
blanked. Here are some illustrative data points:
! Max brightness in performance mode: 2.8 W
! Max brightness in economic mode: 2.6 W
! Low brightness in economic mode: 1.7 W
! Screensaver: 1.1 W
You can find the screensaver feature integrated in the latest mobile Sculpt OS
images published by _nfeske_.
Platforms
#########
NXP i.MX SoC family
===================
Certain parts of i.MX specific code, like the base support for the hw kernel,
and the GPIO driver for i.MX got moved from Genode's main repository to the
corresponding genode-imx repository.
Sculpt OS image creation for MNT Reform2
----------------------------------------
With this release, we introduce mainline support for Sculpt OS on the MNT
Reform2. To build a Sculpt OS image for this board you can use the common
_gems/run/sculpt_image.run_ script, like the following:
! make run/sculpt_image KERNEL=hw BOARD=mnt_reform2 DEPOT=omit
To be effective, you need to extend your RUN_OPT variable accordingly:
! RUN_OPT += --include image/imx8mq_mmc
seL4 microkernel
================
With the update of the seL4 kernel in the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Updated_seL4_microkernel - previous]
release we now added several improvements, which reduce the boot-up time of
Genode's 'core' roottask on seL4 by converting untyped memory to I/O memory on
demand.
Build system and tools
######################
Depot autopilot on-target test orchestrator
===========================================
As the rough plan to support automated testing in Goa is shaping up, it makes
sense to share one convention about expressing the success criteria for a
package under test between the depot autopilot and Goa. This prospect motivated
us to review the convention that was used with the depot autopilot up until
now. The old syntax looked as follows:
! <runtime ...>
! <events>
! <timeout meaning="failed" sec="20"/>
! <log meaning="succeeded">
! [init -> rom_logger] ROM 'generated':*
! [init -> dynamic_rom] xray: change (finished)
! </log>
! <log meaning="succeeded">child exited</log>
! <log meaning="failed">Error: </log>
! </events>
! ...
! </runtime>
We applied the following simplifications to this syntax:
* Dropped the intermediate '<events>' tag,
* Replaced '<log meaning="succeeded">' by '<succeed>',
* Replaced '<log meaning="failed">' by '<fail>',
* Replaced '<timeout meaning="failed" sec="20"/>' by an 'after_seconds'
attribute of the '<succeed>' or '<fail>' tags.
So, the above example becomes the following:
! <runtime ...>
! <fail after_seconds="20"/>
! <succeed>
! [init -> rom_logger] ROM 'generated':*
! [init -> dynamic_rom] xray: change (finished)
! </succeed>
! <succeed>child exited</succeed>
! <fail>Error: </fail>
! ...
! </runtime>
For now, the depot autopilot maintains backwards-compatibility to allow Genode
users to adapt to the change progressively. The old scheme is used whenever
the package runtime contains an '<event>' tag. Note that backwards
compatibility will be removed after a short transition period.
All test packages of the official Genode repositories have been updated
to the new convention.
Furthermore, we took the opportunity to also add a new feature. The optional
'log_prefix' attribute in the '<succeed>' and '<fail>' tags is a simple but
handy white-list filter when it comes to typical Genode logs. When matching
the test log against the pattern given in the affected '<succeed>' or '<fail>'
tag, the depot autopilot considers only those log lines that start with the
given prefix. This is an easy way to watch only specific Genode components and
solve problems with the log order of simultaneously running components.
Last but not least, the transition prompted us to fix a minor issue with the
depot autopilot log-processing. Color sequences will now be forwarded correctly
from the test runtime to the log output of the depot autopilot, making the
analysis of test batteries a more pleasant experience.
Updated run-tool defaults for x86_64
====================================
With the update of the seL4 kernel and the update of the toolchain to GNU GCC
12 in the previous release, certain x86 assembly instructions like POPCNT are
generated, which are not supported by the Qemu CPU models we used.
Previously, the used CPU model was either the default model, or
'-cpu core2duo' for NOVA, or '-cpu phenom' for SVM virtualization.
The current release changes the default model to '-cpu Nehalem-v2', and
selects '-cpu EPYC' for SVM virtualization.
Note that the _build.conf_ file in the x86 build directory must be
re-generated by you, which otherwise may contain an older Qemu "-cpu " model,
which can collide with the new default Qemu CPU settings.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 23.11
===============================================
Genode Labs
Genode 23.11 brings a healthy mix of OS architectural work, curation of the
existing framework, and new features. In an arguably radical move - but in
perfect alignment with microkernel philosophy - we move the IOMMU driver from
the kernel to user space. This way, Genode attains DMA protection independent
of the used kernel. Section [Kernel-agnostic DMA protection] covers the
background and implementation of this novel approach.
We constantly re-evaluate our existing code base for opportunities of curation
and simplification and the current release is no exception. It bears the fruit
of an intense one-year cross-examination of Genode's existing virtualization
interfaces across CPU architectures and kernels, as a collateral effort of
bringing x86 virtualization to our custom base-hw microkernel. Section
[Modernized virtualization interface] presents the story and outcome of this
deep dive.
As another curation effort, the release brings Genode's arsenal of USB device
drivers in line with our modern DDE Linux porting approach.
Section [USB device drivers updated to Linux 6.1.20] details this line of work.
Feature-wise, the release contains the underpinnings of the CPU
frequency/temperature/power monitoring and control feature of the latest
Sculpt OS release
(Section [PC power, frequency, temperature sensing and control]),
showcases the port of the Linphone VoIP stack using the Goa tool
(Section [Ported 3rd-party software]), and equips the Seoul virtual machine
monitor with the ability to host 64-bit guests
(Section [Seoul virtual machine monitor]).
Kernel-agnostic DMA protection
##############################
On our quest towards a PC version of Sculpt OS on our custom (base-hw)
microkernel, we were able to move an essential chunk away to clear another
section of the path. Based on the preparatory changes to the platform driver
regarding IOMMU handling introduced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Towards_kernel-agnostic_DMA_protection - release 23.05],
we were able to enable kernel-agnostic DMA protection on Intel platforms.
Similar to how the MMU protects the system against unintended CPU-initiated
memory transactions, the IOMMU protects the system against unintended DMA
transactions. Since components allocate DMA buffers via the platform driver,
the latter sits in the perfect spot to manage DMA remapping tables for its
clients and let the IOMMU know about them.
[image dma_remap]
The figure above illustrates how we added remapping to the PC version of
Sculpt OS. IOMMUs are announced in the ACPI DMAR table, which is parsed by our
ACPI driver component.
It particularly evaluates the _DMA Remapping Hardware Unit Defintions_ (DRHDs)
and _Reserved Memory Region Reporting_ (RMRRs) structures and reports the
essential details in form of an _acpi_ report. There are typically multiple
DRHDs with different device scopes. The RMRRs specify memory regions that may
be DMA targets for certain devices.
The _acpi_ report is used by our PCI decode component, which creates a
_devices_ report. It adds the DRHDs as devices to this report and annotates
the found PCI devices with corresponding '<io_mmu name="drhdX"/>' nodes
according to the DRHDs' device scopes. Moreover, it adds
'<reserved_memory .../>' nodes to the particular devices as specified by the
RMRRs.
By evaluating the _devices_ report, the platform driver has a complete picture
of the DMA remapping hardware units and knows about which PCI devices fall
into their scopes. It takes control over the mentioned _drhdX_ devices on its
own and sets up the necessary structures that are shared between all sessions
and devices. For every Platform session and _drhdX_ device used, it creates an
'Io_mmu::Domain' object that comprises a DMA remapping table. As shown in the
figure, Client A, which acquires devices in the scope of drhd0 and drhd1, the
platform driver sets up two DMA remapping tables. The tables are populated with
the DMA buffers allocated via Client A's platform session. For every acquired
device, the platform driver maps the corresponding remapping table. Note that
DMA buffers are allocated on a per-session basis so that all devices in the
same session will get access to all DMA buffers. To further restrict this,
Client A could open separate platform sessions for distinct DMA-capable
devices.
A subtle implementation detail (not shown in the figure) concerns the
aforementioned reserved memory. The reserved memory regions of a device must
be added to the corresponding DMA remapping table. Moreover, these regions
must be accessible at all times, i.e. even before the device is acquired by
any client. For this purpose, the platform driver creates a default remapping
table. This table is filled with the reserved memory regions and mapped for
every unused device that requires access to any reserved memory region.
A particular benefit of moving DMA remapping into the platform driver (apart
from becoming kernel-agnostic) is that DMA remapping tables are now properly
allocated from the session's quota. In consequence, this may increase the RAM
and capability requirements for certain drivers.
The platform driver's support for Intel IOMMUs is enabled by default on the
NOVA and base-hw kernels. The seL4 and Fiasco.OC kernels are not yet covered.
Nevertheless, we also kept NOVA's IOMMU enablement intact for the following
reasons:
* To protect the boot-up process from DMA attacks, the IOMMU should be enabled
as early as possible. The platform driver simply takes over control when it
is ready.
* The platform driver is not (yet) able to manage interrupt remapping because
this requires access to the _I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller_
(IOAPIC) controlled by the kernel. Thus, in this release, we still let NOVA
manage the interrupt remapping table.
* As we have not implemented support for AMD IOMMUs yet, we simply keep NOVA
in charge of this. If there is no Intel IOMMU present, the platform driver
falls back to the device PD for controlling the kernel-managed IOMMU.
Along with the DMA remapping support, we added an _iommu_ report to the
platform driver. On the PC version of Sculpt OS, this is enabled by default
and routed to _/report/drivers/iommu_. The report summarizes the state of each
DRHD. When the platform driver takes control, it also logs a message like
"enabled IOMMU drhd0 with default mappings". The platform driver can be
prevented from touching the IOMMU by removing the DRHD info from the _acpi_
report. This can be achieved by supplying the ACPI driver with the following
config:
! <config ignore_drhd="yes"/>
_Note that the ACPI driver does not handle configuration updates._
Orthogonal to the DMA remapping support, we changed the allocation policy for
DMA buffers in the generic part of the platform driver. The new policy leaves
an unmapped page (guard page) between DMA buffers in the virtual I/O memory
space. This ensures that a simple DMA buffer overflow does not corrupt other
DMA buffers. Since this is only a matter of virtual address allocation, it
does not add any additional RAM costs.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
PC power, frequency, temperature sensing and control
====================================================
PC CPU vendors provide various CPU features for the operating system to
influence frequency and power consumption, like Intel HWP or AMD pstate to
name just two of them. Some of the features require access to various MSR CPU
registers, which can solely be accessed by privileged rdmsr and wrmsr
instructions.
Up to now, this feature was provided in a static manner, namely before Genode
boots. It was possible to set a fixed desired target power consumption via the
pre-boot chain loader bender. This feature got introduced with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11#Hardware_P-State_support_on_PC_hardware - Genode version 20.11]
and was refined in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.11#Configurable_Intel_HWP_mode - version 22.11].
Another and desired approach is to permit the adjustment of the desired power
consumption depending on the current load of the system. This dynamic way of
power and frequency management has been in casual development since 2021 and
first got presented in one [https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2023-05-29-freq_power - sneak peak]
Genodian article. The feature now found its way into the
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2023-10-23-msr - Sculpt 23.10] release.
With the current Genode release, we have added general support to the
framework that permits guarded access to selected MSRs via Genode's
system-control RPC of the protection domain (PD) session. If the underlying
kernel supports this feature, presently the NOVA kernel, read and write
requests are forwarded via Genode's 'core' roottask to the kernel. A component
needs the explicit [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.02#Restricting_physical_memory_information_to_device_drivers_only - managing_system] configuration role to get
access to this functionality, which is denied by default.
The actual knowledge about how to manage Intel HWP and AMD pstate is provided
as a native Genode component, which uses the new 'Pd::system_control'
interface. The component monitors and reports changes of MSR registers for
temperature (Intel), frequency (AMD & Intel), and power consumption (Intel
RAPL). Additionally, it can be instructed - by the means of configuration
changes - to write some of the registers. Besides the low-level MSR component,
a Genode package with a GUI component is provided to make the interactive
usage of the feature more user-friendly. For Sculpt, we added an interactive
dialog to assign the system-control role to a component like the graphical MSR
package via the resource dialog. For a more detailed description please refer
to our [https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2023-10-23-msr - Genodians article]
for the Sculpt 23.10 release.
Modernized virtualization interface
===================================
When we introduced the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Kernel-agnostic_virtual-machine_monitors - generic Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) interface]
for x86 virtualization with Genode
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.05#Kernel-agnostic_virtual-machine_monitors - version 19.05],
it was largely modeled after our Genode VMM API for ARM with the following
characteristics.
* A vCPU's state could be requested, evaluated, and modified with the
'state()' method.
* The vCPU was started by the 'run()' method.
* For synchronization, the vCPU could be stopped with the 'pause()' method.
However, this ostensibly uniform interface for ARM and x86 virtualization
obscures two significant differences between the architectures.
:Hardware and generic vCPU state:
On ARM, the VMM directly handles the hardware virtualization state, i.e., the
vCPU state is directly passed to the VMM. In contrast, what is passed to the
VMM on x86 is a generic _Vcpu_state_. This is due to two aspects of x86
virtualization: First, there are two competing implementations of
virtualization on x86: AMD's _Secure Virtual Machine (SVM)_ / _AMD-V_ and
Intel's _Virtual Machine Extensions (VMX)_. Second, neither interface lends
itself to passing the vCPU state directly to the VMM: VMX requires privileged
instructions to access fields in the _Virtual Machine Control Structure
(VMCS)_. Whereas SVM supports direct access to fields in its _Virtual Machine
Control Block (VMCB)_, the VMCB (as well as the VMCS) does not represent the
whole state of the vCPU. Notably, both the VMCS and the VMCB do not include
the CPU's general purpose registers, thereby warranting a separate data
structure to synchronize the vCPU state with a VMM.
:vCPU pause and state synchronization:
On ARM, the 'pause()' method simply stopped the vCPU kernel thread from being
scheduled. Since the VMM's vCPU handler runs on the same CPU core we could be
certain that the vCPU was not running while the VMM's vCPU handler was
executing, and calling 'pause()' made sure the vCPU wasn't rescheduled while
the VMM was modifying its state. In contrast, calling 'pause()' on x86 has
different semantics. It requests a synchronization point from the hypervisor,
which responds by issuing a generic _PAUSE_ or _RECALL_ exit in order to
signal the VMM that state can be injected into the vCPU. The mechanism is
woven deeply into the device models of our x86 VMMs, and therefore
asynchronous state synchronization from the VMM needed to be available in the
VMM.
API shortcomings and improvements
---------------------------------
On ARM, making the hardware vCPU state unconditionally available to the VMM via
the 'state()' method meant that the API did not enforce any synchronization
between hypervisor / hardware and VMM accesses to the vCPU state. On x86, the
asynchronous semantics of the 'pause()' method required complex state tracking
on the hypervisor side of the interface.
To address both shortcomings, we replaced the previous API with a single
'with_state()' method that takes a lambda function as an argument. The method
allows scoped access to the vCPU's state and ensures that the vCPU is stopped
before calling the supplied lambda function with the vCPU as parameter. Only
if the lambda function returns 'true', the vCPU is resumed with its state
updated by the VMM. Otherwise, the vCPU remains stopped.
As a result, the API enforces that the vCPU state is only accessed while the
vCPU is not running. Moreover, we were able to replace the ambiguous 'pause()'
method by a generic mechanism that unblocks the vCPU handler, which in turn
uses the 'with_state()' method to update the vCPU state. Finally, resuming of
the vCPU is controlled by the return value of the lambda function exclusively
and, thus, removes the error-prone explicit 'run()' method.
Porting hypervisors and VMMs
----------------------------
The new API was first implemented for *base-hw*'s using AMD's SVM
virtualization method and recently
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Base-HW_microkernel - introduced]
as part of the 23.05 release. The reduction of complexity was significant:
explicitly requesting the vCPU state via 'with_state()' did away with a vast
amount of vCPU-state tracking in the kernel. Instead, the VMM library
explicitly requests updates to the vCPU state.
With the first hypervisor ported, we were curious to see how easily our new
interface could be applied to the *NOVA* hypervisor. The initial pleasant
reduction of complex state handling in base-nova's VMM library was closely
followed by the insight that there was no way to match the NOVA-specific
execution model to our new library interface. The asynchronous nature of the
'with_state()' interface meant that we needed a way to synchronize the vCPU
state with the VMM that could be initiated from the VMM. Since NOVA's
execution model is based on the hypervisor calling into the VMM on VM exits,
we had to extend NOVA's system call interface to allow for an explicit setting
and getting of the vCPU state. This was needed because the 'with_state()'
interface requires that the vCPU state is made available to the caller within
the method call, so the old model of requesting a _RECALL_ exit that would be
processed asynchronously couldn't be used here. For the same reason, the vCPU
exit reason had to be passed with the rest of the vCPU state in the UTCB since
in this case this information wasn't provided through the VMM portal called
from the hypervisor. The new 'ec_ctrl' system call variants proved to be a
simple addition and allowed us to adapt to the new interface while still using
NOVA's execution model for processing regular exits.
The _blocking system call into the hypervisor_ execution model of *Fiasco.OC*
and *seL4* offered its own unique set of challenges to the new library
interface in the interplay between asynchronous 'with_state()' triggers and
the synchronous vCPU run loop. Fortunately, we were able to meet these
challenges without changing the kernels.
While adapting our VMMs for ARM and x86, we found varying degrees of
dependency on permanently accessible vCPU state, which we resolved by
refactoring the implementations. As a result, the new interface is already
used since the release of
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-23-10 - Sculpt OS 23.10].
We haven't experienced any runtime vCPU state access violations and can now be
certain that there aren't any silent concurrent accesses to the vCPU state.
All in all, the new VMM library interface has succeeded in reducing complexity
while providing a more robust access to the vCPU state, which is shared
between our various hypervisors and VMMs.
Dialog API for low-complexity interactive applications
======================================================
Since version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.11#New_menu_view_application - 14.11],
Genode features a custom UI widget renderer in the form of a stand-alone
component called _menu view_. It was designated for use cases where the
complexity of commodity GUI tool kits like Qt is unwanted. Menu-view-based
applications merely consume hover reports and produce dialog descriptions as
XML. In contrast to GUI toolkit libraries, the widget rendering happens
outside the address space of the application.
Today, this custom widget renderer is used by a number of simple interactive
Genode applications, the most prominent being the administrative user
interface of Sculpt OS. Other examples are the touch keyboard, file vault,
text area, and interactive
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2023-10-23-msr - system monitoring tools].
In each application, the XML processing used to be implemented via a rather
ad-hoc-designed set of utilities. These utilities and patterns started to get
in the way when applications become more complex - as we experienced while
crafting the
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-01-05-mobile-user-interface - mobile variant]
of Sculpt OS. These observations prompted us to formalize the implementation
of menu-view based applications through a new light-weight framework called
dialog API. The key ideas are as follows.
First, applications are to be relieved from the technicalities of driving a
sandboxed menu-view component, or the distinction of touch from pointer-based
input, or the hovering of GUI elements. These concerns are to be covered by
a runtime library. The application developer can thereby focus solely on the
application logic, the UI representation (view) of its internal state (model),
and the response to user interaction (controller).
Second, the dialog API promotes an immediate translation of the application's
internal state to its UI representation without the need to create an object
for each GUI element. The application merely provides a 'view' (const) method
that is tasked to generate a view of the application's state. This approach
yields itself to the realization of dynamic user interfaces needing dynamic
memory allocation inside the application.
The 'view' method operates on a so-called 'Scope', which loosely corresponds
to Genode's 'Xml_generator', but it expresses the generated structure using
C++ types, not strings. A scope can host sub scopes similar to how an XML node
can host child nodes. Hence, the _view_ method expresses the application's
view as a composition of scopes such as frames, labels, vbox, or hbox.
Third, user interaction is induced into the application by three callbacks
'click', 'clack', and 'drag', each taking a location as argument. The location
is not merely a position but entails the structural location of the user
interaction within the dialog. For interpreting of the location, the
application uses the same C++ types as for generating the view. Hence, the C++
type system is leveraged to attain the consistency between the view and the
controller, so to speak.
Fourth, structural UI patterns - made out of nested scopes - can be combined
into reusable building blocks called widgets. In contrast to scopes, widgets
can have state. Widgets can host other widgets, and thereby allow for the
implementation of higher-level GUI parts out of lower-level elements.
The API resides at _gems/include/dialog/_ and is accompanied by the dialog
library that implements the runtime needed for the interplay with the
menu-view widget renderer. Note that it is specifically designed for the needs
of Sculpt's UI and similar bare-bones utilities. It is not intended to become
a desktop-grade general-purpose widget set. For example, complex topics like
multi-language support are decidedly out of scope. During the release cycle,
the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS - for both the desktop and
mobile variants - has been converted to the new API. Also, the text-area
application and the touch keyboard are using the new API now.
Given that the new API has been confronted with the variety of use cases found
in Sculpt's administrative user interface, it can now be considered for other
basic applications. Since we target Genode-internal use for now, proper
documentation is still missing. However, for the curious, an illustrative
example can be found at _gems/src/test/dialog/_ accompanied by a corresponding
_dialog.run_ script. For a real-world application, you may consider studying
the _app/sculpt_manager/view/_ sub directory of the gems repository.
API changes
===========
Simplified list-model utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The so-called 'List_model' utility located at _base/include/list_model.h_ has
become an established pattern used by Genode components that need to maintain
an internal data model for XML input data. It is particularly useful whenever
XML data changes over time, in particular when reconfiguring a component at
runtime.
The original utility as introduced in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#API_changes - 18.02]
relied on a policy-based programming pattern, which is more ceremonial than it
needs to be, especially with recent versions of C++. The current release
replaces the original policy-based 'update_from_xml' by a new method that
takes three functors for creating, destroying, and updating elements as
arguments. XML nodes are associated with their corresponding internal data
models by annotating the element type with the 'type_matches' class function
and the 'matches' method.
Besides the interface change, two minor aspects are worth noting. First, to
improve safety, list model elements can no longer be copied. Second, to foster
consistency with other parts of Genode's API, the 'apply_first' method has
been renamed to 'with_first'.
Pruned IRQ-session arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So far, we have used the 'device_config_phys' argument of the IRQ session to
implicitly request the use of _Message-Signalled Interrupts_ (MSI) to core.
This argument specifies the address to the PCI configuration space. However,
with the addition of Intel IOMMU support to the platform driver, we encountered
an instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device in order to receive fault
IRQs from the IOMMU. We therefore added an 'irq_type' argument to the IRQ
session, which allows the explicit specification of whether a LEGACY interrupt
or an MSI is requested.
Yet, as we exceeded the character limit by adding another argument, we pruned
the IRQ-session arguments: Since 'device_config_phys' is not relevant for
LEGACY interrupts, we removed this from the default _Irq_connection_
constructor. We further added an alternative constructor for MSI, which sets
'device_config_phys' but omits the 'irq_trigger' and 'irq_polarity' arguments.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Seoul virtual machine monitor
=============================
The Seoul/Vancouver VMM - introduced to Genode with release 11.11 - is an
experimental x86-based VMM which runs on Genode@NOVA, Genode@seL4, and
Genode@Fiasco.OC, and Genode@hw on Intel and on AMD hardware. It has been up
to now solely used with 32-bit and special crafted VMs. With the addition of
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/22.11#Seoul_VMM - VirtIO support]
for GPU, input, and audio, the usage as specialized tailored
[https://genodians.org/alex-ab/2023-05-09-seoul-23-04 - disposable VMs] became
quite comfortable.
However, time is ticking for 32bit on x86 and some features aren't provided in
the same quality as for 64bit VMs. For example, when using Firefox on 32bit,
the video playback on some webpages gets denied while functioning on 64bit
without complaints. So, the time came to extend the Seoul VMM by 64bit guest
support to make it fit for today and avoid further hassles.
Over the year 2023, the Seoul VMM got extended by enabling the instruction
emulator - called Halifax - to decode
[https://wiki.osdev.org/X86-64_Instruction_Encoding - x86_64 instructions]
with additional prefixes and additional 8 general purpose registers. Besides
the necessary deep dive through this special topic, the Seoul VMM required
extensions to handle more than 4G guest physical memory. Several changes to
the guest-memory layout handling and the memory-layout reporting, e.g.,
[https://wiki.osdev.org/Detecting_Memory_(x86) - VBios e820], were necessary.
Once an early prototype successfully booted a 64bit Linux kernel, we found the
initial user task of some Linux distributions to fail by complaining about
unsupported CPUs. As it turned out, glibc-based software (and later also
llvm-based) have several detection mechanism to identify the running CPU - and
if they feel uncomfortable, deny to work. So, we had to extend the support to
report more of the native CPUID values of the host and as an after-effect,
have to emulate more MSR accesses as performed by 64bit Linux guests.
Unfortunately, the MSRs between Intel and AMD differ in subtle ways, so a per
CPU differentiation became necessary in the vCPU model.
Additionally, during testing of the native 64bit Debian VM installation with
the Seoul VMM, several improvements during early boot, especially for the
interactive usage of the GRUB bootloader were made. Ready to use packages to
test drive the 64bit Seoul VMM on Sculpt OS are available via the "alex-ab"
depot.

Linphone SIP client
-------------------
Sculpt on the PinePhone used to provide only support for making and receiving
regular phone calls but did not yet provide any VoIP functionality. Now, the
"Linphone Console Client" and the "SIP Client for Ubuntu Touch" got ported to
Genode to expand the available features on the PinePhone when it comes to
mobile communication.
We decided to port the [https://linphone.org - Linphone-SDK], the console
client in particular, to Genode because it seems to be a time-tested solution
on a range of OSes. Furthermore, it uses the [https://cmake.org - cmake]
build-system, which makes it the ideal candidate for stressing
[https://github.com/genodelabs/goa - Goa] with a reasonably complex project.
Using Goa itself turned out to be straight-forward and by re-using the already
existing back ends for POSIX-like systems, e.g. OSS for handling audio via the
mediastreamer library, we only had to tweak the build-system in very few
places. In the process, we encountered a few short-comings regarding the
handling of shared libraries in cmake-based Goa projects. We were happy to
address these and the fixes are part of the current Goa release.
Since the user interface of the console client cannot be used comfortably on
the PinePhone, it had to be complemented by a GUI application that handles the
user interaction. While looking for such an application we noticed the
[https://gitlab.com/ubports-linphone/linphone-simple/ - SIP Client for Ubuntu Touch]
that utilizes the Ubuntu Touch UI Toolkit - where a port to Genode already
exists. We adapted that project for our needs and - with the major components
now in place - created a preset for Sculpt on the PinePhone.
The preset's structure is depicted by the following chart.
[image linphone_preset]
Structure of the linphone preset
Each of the two components has its own requirements: The Linphone client needs
access to the network, has to store its configuration, and requires access to
the audio subsystem. It is the driving force behind the operation while it
receives its instructions from the GUI. The GUI needs access to the GPU
driver, as required for fluent rendering of QML on the PinePhone, as well as
access to input events for user interaction.
Naturally these requirements are satisfied by other components also
incorporated into the preset:
* The _Dynamic chroot_ component selects and limits the file-system access of
the client to the configured directory. In case of the PinePhone it points
to the '/recall/linphone' directory on the SD-card.
* The _SNTP_ component provides the client with a correct real-time clock
value. Note that the SNTP component uses a different TCP/IP-stack than the
client itself.
* The _Audio driver_ component makes the speaker as well as the microphone
available to the client.
* The _GPU driver_ component allows the GUI to render the interface via OpenGL
on the GPU.
* The _Touch keyboard_ collects the touch events and translates them into key
events that are then consumed by the GUI.
The Linphone client and the GUI themselves are connected via the _terminal
crosslink_ component where the control channel is formed by connecting stdout
from the GUI to stdin from the client and vice versa.
As denoted by the chart, the client actually functions as a _daemon_ that is
running in the background, whereas the GUI is the _app_ the user interacts
with.

Socat
-----
We ported socat, a multipurpose relay (SOcket CAT), to Genode and created a
ready-to-use pkg archive that allows for making a terminal session available
on port '5555'.
SDL libraries
-------------
This release also makes more SDL-related libraries available on Genode.
The common helper libraries like SDL2-image, SDL2-mixer, SDL2-net, and SDL2-ttf
complement the SDL2 support, while the SDL-gfx library enhances the support
of SDL1.2. All these libraries are located in the _genode-world_ repository.
Device drivers
##############
USB device drivers updated to Linux 6.1.20
==========================================
With our ongoing effort to replace our traditional device-driver porting
approach by our new
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - device-driver environment],
USB-device drivers were subject to this porting effort during this release
cycle. This includes the HID driver for keyboard, mouse, and touch support,
the network driver, which supports USB NICs like AX88179 or the PinePhone's
CDC Ether profile of its LTE Modem, as well as the USB modem driver that
offers basic LTE-modem access for modems relying on the
[https://www.usb.org/document-library/mobile-broadband-interface-model-v10-errata-1-and-adopters-agreement - MBIM]
configuration.
Architecture
------------
In contrast to the USB host-controller drivers, USB device drivers do not
communicate with the hardware directly, but only send messages to the USB host
controller through Genode's USB-session interface. So, from Genode's point of
view, they can be classified as protocol stacks. Therefore, we based these
drivers not on the DDE Linux version that offers direct hardware access, but
on 'virt_linux' as described in release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#WireGuard_improvements - 23.05].
We replaced the actual Linux calls that create USB messages (like control,
bulk, or IRQ transfers) by custom implementations that forward these messages
through a USB client session to the host controller. The client-session
implementation is written in C++. Since our DDE Linux strictly separates C++
from C-code, we introduced a USB-client C-API that can be called directly by
the replacement functions.
The same goes for the services the USB drivers offer/use. These services
are accessed through the respective C-APIs. For example, the HID driver
communicates with Genode's event session through the event C-API and the NIC
driver through the uplink C-API.
USB HID driver
--------------
The HID driver is a drop-in replacement of its predecessor. It still offers
support to handle multiple devices at once, and the configuration remains
unchanged.
Note that we have dropped support for multi-touch devices, like Wacom, because
touch was merely in a proof of concept state that should be redesigned and
rethought for Genode if needed.
USB modem
---------
The LTE-modem driver (usb_modem_drv) has been integrated into the network
driver (see below).
USB net
-------
The 'usb_net_drv' is a drop-in replacement for its predecessor with the
exception that an additional configuration attribute is available:
!<config mac="2e:60:90:0c:4e:01 configuration="2" />
Next to the MAC address (like in the previous version), the USB configuration
profile can be specified with the 'configuration' attribute. For USB devices
that provide multiple configuration profiles, the Linux code will always
select the first non-vendor-specific configuration profile found. This may not
be the desired behavior, and therefore, can now be specified.
The available configuration profile of a device can be found out under Linux
using:
! lsusb -s<bus>:<device> -vvv
Currently the driver supports NICs containing an AX88179A chip and that offer
the NCM or the ECM profile. Support for the SMSC95XX line of devices has been
dropped, but may be re-enabled if required.
As mentioned above, the LTE modem support for MBIM-based modems has been
merged into this driver because an LTE modem is merely a USB networking device
(for data) plus a control channel. In case the driver discovers an LTE modem,
it will announce a Genode terminal session as a control channel.
Example configuration for the Huawai ME906s modem:
!<start name="usb_net_drv">
! <resource name="RAM" quantum="10M"/>
! <provides>
! <service name="Terminal"/>
! </provides>
! <config mac="02:00:00:00:01:01" configuration="3"/>
! <route>
! <service name="Uplink"><child name="nic_router"/></service/>
! ....
! </route>
!</start>
The MBIM interface is enabled using configuration profile "3" and the service
"Terminal" is provided.
We have tested the driver mainly on Lenovo Thinkpad notebooks using Huawai's
ME906e and Fibocoms's L830-EB-00 modems, but different modems might work as
well.
Current limitations
-------------------
The current version of 'virt_linux' does not support arm_v6 platforms like
Raspberry Pi (Zero). We will address this shortcoming with the next release
and update the drivers accordingly.
Platforms
#########
Linux
=====
Following the official
[https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide - migration guide] of SDL, the
fb_sdl framebuffer driver was updated from SDL1 to SDL2 by Robin Eklind.
Thanks to this valuable contribution, fb_sdl is now ready to run on modern
Linux installations especially in environments that use the Wayland display
server. Note, to compile the component from source, the installation of
libsdl2 development packages (e.g., libsdl2-dev, libdrm-dev, and libgbm-dev on
Ubuntu/Debian) is required.
Build system and tools
######################
Debug information for depot binaries
====================================
So far, the Genode build system created symbolic links to unstripped binaries
in the _debug/_ directory to provide useful debug information, but binaries
from depot archives did not have this information available.
With this release, the 'create', 'publish' and 'download' depot tools received
an optional 'DBG=1' argument to create, publish, and download 'dbg' depot
archives with debug-info files in addition to the corresponding 'bin' depot
archives.
To avoid the storage overhead from duplicated code with archived unstripped
binaries, we now create separate debug info files using the "GNU debug link"
method in the Genode build system and for the 'dbg' depot archives.
Decommissioned implicit trigger of shared-library builds
========================================================
Since the very first version, Genode's build system automatically managed
inter-library dependencies, which allowed us to cleanly separate different
concerns (like CPU-architecture-specific optimizations) as small static
libraries, which were automatically visited by the build system whenever
building a dependent target.
When we later
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/9.11#Completed_support_for_dynamic_linking - introduced]
the support for shared libraries, we maintained the existing notion of
libraries but merely considered shared objects as a special case. Hence,
whenever a target depends on a shared library, the build system would
automatically build the shared library before linking it to the target.
With the later introduction of Genode's ABI's in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/17.02#Genode_Application_Binary_Interface - 17.02],
we effectively dissolved the link-time dependency of targets from shared
objects, which ultimately paved the ground for Genode's package management.
However, our build-system retained the original policy of building shared
libraries before linking dependent targets. Even though this is arguably
convenient when using many small inter-dependent libraries, with complex
shared libraries as dependencies, one always needs to locally build those
complex libraries even though the library internals are rarely touched or the
library is readily available as a pre-built binary archive. In the presence of
large 3rd-party libraries, the build system's traditional policy starts to
stand in the way of quick development-test cycles.
With the current release, we dissolve the implicit built-time dependency of
targets from shared libraries. Shared libraries must now be explicitly listed
in the 'build' command of run scripts. For example, for run scripts that build
Genode's base system along with the C runtime, the build command usually
contains the following targets.
! core lib/ld init timer lib/libc lib/libm lib/vfs lib/posix
However, in practice most run scripts incorporate those basic ingredients as
depot archives. So those targets need to be built only if they are touched by
the development work. To incorporate the results of all explicitly built
targets into a system image, the 'build_boot_image' command can be used as
follows. Note that the listing of boot modules does not need to be maintained
manually anymore.
! build_boot_image [build_artifacts]
During the release cycle of version 23.11, we have revisited all run scripts
in this respect, and we encourage Genode users to follow suit. The run tool
tries to give aid to implement this change whenever it detects the presence of
a .lib.so 'build_boot_image' argument that is not covered by the prior build
command. For example, on the attempt to integrate 'ld.lib.so' without having
built 'lib/ld', the following diagnostic message will try to guide you.
! Error: missing build argument for: ld.lib.so
!
! The build_boot_image argument may be superfluous or
! the build step lacks the argument: lib/ld
!
! Consider using [build_artifacts] as build_boot_image argument to
! maintain consistency between the build and build_boot_image steps.
The inconvenience of the need to adopt existing run scripts notwithstanding,
developers will certainly notice a welcome boost of their work flow,
especially when working with complex 3rd-party libraries.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 24.02
===============================================
Genode Labs
Version 24.02 focuses on developer experience and framework infrastructure.
Genode's Goa SDK has reached prominence in the past few releases. It largely
streamlines the porting, development, and publishing of software targeting
Genode and Sculpt OS in particular.
With the current release, Goa has become able to conveniently use Sculpt OS as
a remote test target. Regardless of whether targeting a PC or the PinePhone,
either can be turned into a test target in seconds and the developer's
compile-test cycle looks exactly the same
(Section [Sculpt OS as remote test target for the Goa SDK]).
A long anticipated infrastructure topic is the rework of Genode's audio stack
to accommodate latency-sensitive scenarios, using flexible sample rates, and
making audio drivers pluggable.
Section [Revised audio infrastructure] gives an overview of the taken
architectural approach, the interfaces, and a low-complexity mixer modelled
as self-sufficient resource multiplexer.
Speaking of infrastructure, we are excited to report to have wrapped up the
transition to our modern Linux device-driver environment based on Linux 6.x.
The last piece of the puzzle was the TCP/IP stack that was still based
on code originating from Linux 4.4.3.
Section [TCP/IP stack based on DDE-Linux version 6.1.20] details the new
TCP/IP stack.
According to our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], we plan to
add suspend/resume as feature to Sculpt OS 24.04. As a crucial stepping stone
towards this goal, all drivers that cannot be easily restarted must become
suspend/resume aware.
Section [Suspend/resume awareness of GPU, AHCI, and NVMe drivers] explains
this achievement for the AHCI, NVMe, and Intel GPU drivers.
Further highlights of the release are the much improved handling of HID
events including the generalized calibration of motion events, API safety
improvements, the prospect of de-privileged tracing in Sculpt OS, and
multi-client support for Vivante GPUs.
On our road map, we had scheduled two further topics that are notably absent,
namely USB and SMS. But don't fret. Even though the large rework of our USB
infrastructure for fine-grained and dynamic USB access has been completed just
in time, we felt that this far-reaching change should better not be rushed
into the release. It will be merged shortly after, and settle into the upcoming
Sculpt OS version 24.04 just fine. The second topic not covered is SMS support
for the PinePhone, which is a topic actively
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5127 - worked on] but with no
user-visible effect until its integration in Sculpt OS in April.
Revised audio infrastructure
############################
After first introduced in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.05#Device-class_interfaces_for_NIC_and_Audio-out - 10.05],
Genode's
[https://genode.org/documentation/genode-foundations/23.05/components/Common_session_interfaces.html#Audio_output - audio support]
slowly evolved over the years, covering audio mixing in
version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.11#Audio_mixer - 10.11],
leveraging OpenBSD's audio driver since version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.05#Audio_drivers_ported_from_OpenBSD - 15.05]
and offering the OSS interface as VFS plugin since version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.11#Streamlined_ioctl_handling_in_the_C_runtime___VFS - 20.11].
With our recent focus on use cases like
[https://genodians.org/jws/2023-11-16-sip-client-for-genode - VoIP on the PinePhone] or
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.05#Webcam_support - video conferencing],
however, we identified limitations that cannot be overcome without an
architectural revision.
First, in the name of simplicity, we used to tie the inter-component audio
interfaces to a fixed sample rate of 44100 Hz. This has recently become a
problem because some audio drivers tend to support only 48000 Hz.
Second, in latency-sensitive scenarios, we observed that the existing
interfaces were prone to effects caused by the drifting of time between the
producer and consumer of audio data. One effect are buffer under-runs, which
produce audible noise. The other is the slow accumulation of buffered sample
data, which increases latency over time (affecting the effectiveness of
acoustic echo cancellation) and yields an audible buffer overrun after a
while.
Third, the mixer is a single client of the audio driver, which makes the mixer
dependent on the liveliness of the driver. Therefore, the driver cannot be
restarted without also restarting the mixer and - transitively - each client
of the mixer. The rigid relation between the audio driver and the mixer also
stands in the way of routing audio between different audio devices operated
by separate drivers.
After having successfully introduced the concept of _pluggable drivers_ for graphics in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#The_GUI_stack__restacked - 20.08]
and applying the same idea to networking in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.02#Pluggable_network_device_drivers - 21.02],
the time was ripe for turning the audio infrastructure upside down.
[image audio_vs_recordplay]
original layered architecture (left) compared to the new pluggable
architecture (right)
The new architecture as shown on the right turns the mixer into a
self-sufficient resource multiplexer, which offers a service for playing audio
and a service for recording audio. Both audio drivers as well as audio
applications are becoming mere clients of the mixer. With this architecture,
the dynamic starting, removal, and restarting of the driver, of even multiple
drivers, is trivially solved.
To bridge the gap between audio clients operating at different sample rates,
the mixer automatically detects and converts sample rates as needed. Both play
and record clients are expected to operate periodically. The number of samples
produced per period is up to each client and does not need to be constant over
time. The mixer infers the used sample rates and periods by observing the
behavior of the clients. It measures the jitter of clients to automatically
adjust buffering parameters to attain continuous playback while trying to
optimize for low latency. Those runtime-measurements can be augmented by
explicit configuration values.
Multi-channel playing and recording are realized by one session per channel
whereas one channel is used to drive the time allocation while all further
channels merely enqueue/obtain data into/from their respective sessions
without any synchronous interplay with the mixer.
The mixer routes and mixes audio signals produced by play clients to record
clients according to its configuration. Typical play clients are an audio
player or a microphone driver whereas typical record clients are an audio
recorder or an audio-output driver. A simple mixer configuration looks as
follows:
! <config>
!
! <mix name="left"> <play label_suffix="left"/> </mix>
! <mix name="right"> <play label_suffix="right"/> </mix>
!
! <policy label_suffix="left" record="left"/>
! <policy label_suffix="right" record="right"/>
!
! </config>
This configuration defines two signals "left" and "right" that are mixed from
the audio input of the matching <play> clients. In the example, each play
session labeled as "left" is mixed into the "left" signal. Each <mix> node can
host an arbitrary number of <play> nodes. The same <play> policy can appear at
multiple <mix> nodes. A <policy> node assigns a signal to a record client. In
the example, a record client labeled "left" is connected to the <mix> signal
"left".
The mixer allows for the cascading of <mix> nodes. For example, the following
signal "lefty" is a mix of the two signals "left" and "right", weighted by
respective volume attributes.
! <mix name="lefty">
! <signal name="left" volume="0.7"/>
! <signal name="right" volume="0.3"/>
! </mix>
[image mixed_waveforms]
Example of the mixer output for a sine wave as the "left" signal (top),
a signal mixed 70:30, a signal mixed 30:70, and a square wave as the
"right" signal (bottom).
The operation and configuration of the mixer is described in more detail by
the accompanied README at _os/src/record_play_mixer/_. The inter-component
interfaces are located at _os/include/play_session/_ and
_os/include/record_session/_.
The _gems/run/waveform_player.run_ script illustrates the integration of the
mixer by using a waveform generator as multi-channel play client and an
oscilloscope as record client.
Current state and next steps
----------------------------
The new infrastructure is ready to be exercised by the synthetic example
mentioned above as well as by the _audio_out.run_ and _audio_in.run_ scripts
located at _repos/dde_bsd/run/_. The OpenBSD-based audio driver can be
operated in either of two modes. By default, it is compatible to the old audio
in/out interfaces. The new record/play mode can be enabled by setting the
'record_play="yes"' config attribute. Over the next release cycle, we will
successively convert the other pieces of the audio stack, in particular the
other drivers and the OSS VFS plugin, to the new record and play interfaces.
Following this transition, the original audio in/out interfaces will be
removed.
Sculpt OS as remote test target for the Goa SDK
###############################################
The run-stage generalization from
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Run-stage_generalization - release 23.08],
paved the way for the new run-target "sculpt" that allows using Sculpt OS as
a remote test target for 'goa run'. Since Goa already placed all the required
files for running a scenario into a _var/run_ directory, adding this target
merely involved coming up with a solution for synchronizing the run directory
with Sculpt OS and getting a hold of the log output. The implementation in Goa
is accompanied by a _goa_testbed_ package that starts a remotely-controlled
subsystem on Sculpt OS. It particularly hosts a _lighttpd_ and _tcp_terminal_
component. The former is used for run-directory synchronization based on HTTP
PUT. The latter provides the log output of the test scenario via telnet. For
more details, you may take a look at the corresponding
[https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2024-01-29-goa-sculpt - blog post on genodians.org].
In order to integrate support for this mechanism into Sculpt OS, we
supplemented the NIC router configuration with a _http_ and a _telnet_ domain.
Each of these domains is intended to accommodate a single client. Ports 80 and
23 of the _uplink_ domain are then forwarded to the clients in the _http_ and
_telnet_ domain respectively. This is complemented by the _goa_testbed_ preset
added to the PC and PinePhone version of Sculpt OS that turns the system into
a ready-to-use remote test target. You can see this feature in action in our
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2024-02-15-fosdem-aftermath - FOSDEM talks].
When implementing the Sculpt target in Goa, we also had to come up with a way
to supply Goa with the IP address of the remote test target. Goa's modularity
w.r.t. custom run stages motivated us to implement a generic mechanism for
target-specific options. For this purpose, we added the config variable
'target_opt' that is defined as a Tcl array. The Sculpt target evaluates the
array elements 'sculpt-server', 'sculpt-port-http' and 'sculpt-port-telnet'.
We further augmented Goa's command-line parsing such that individual elements
of the 'target_opt' as well as the 'version' config variables, which are both
arrays, can be supplied as command-line arguments. The corresponding arguments
follow the pattern '--target-opt-<option>' and '--version-<user>/<type>/<name>'.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
TCP/IP stack based on DDE-Linux version 6.1.20
==============================================
Over the course of the previous four releases, we have gradually modernized
the arsenal of Linux-based drivers to use our modern Linux device-driver
environment based on Linux 6.x.
The final piece of code standing in the way of the removal of our legacy DDE
Linux approach has been Linux's TCP/IP stack. The stack was based on Linux
version 4.4.3 and did not even take advantage of lx_kit supported features
like cooperative scheduling.
For this reason, it was about time to update the TCP/IP port while also
adapting it to our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.08#Linux-device-driver_environment_re-imagined - modern]
DDE approach. Being in such an ancient state, this effort ended up being more
of a re-write than an actual update. The IP stack is also one of the few DDE
Linux components that is a shared library, as opposed to most drivers, which
are executable binaries. This led to improvements of our lx_kit, for example,
we had to replace static C++ constructors by automatically generated functions
for kernel module-initialization calls because C++ constructors are supposed
to be called by the binary and not during library initialization
(Section [Linux-device-driver environment (DDE)]).
Additionally, we took the opportunity of experimenting with a socket C-API
with the ultimate goal to replace the VFS plugins for Linux (vfs_lxip) and
lwIP (vfs_lwip) with a unified version, but this is an ongoing effort.
Nevertheless, with the current release, the update of our Linux TCP/IP port is
complete and, from a user perspective, the new version as well as the updated
VFS plugin are drop-in replacements for version 4.4.3. The transition should
be seamless.
While porting the IP stack, we also investigated a long-standing issue
regarding the memory consumption of the IP stack, which always seemed a little
too high. We were able to identify the hash tables used for locating sockets
as the main reason. These tables are configured for server loads per default
(meaning > 1 million sockets), which Genode with one or few (VFS server)
clients per IP stack does not default to. This enabled us to reduce the amount
of hash table allocations during IP stack initialization, which leads to
reduced memory demands (>10MB) of the IP stack.
With the new IP stack in place and no legacy components remaining, we removed
the DDE Linux port file (_dde_linux.port_) and the legacy lx_kit/lx_emul
marking the update to the current DDE approach as complete.
De-privileged tracing
=====================
Genode got equipped with a light-weight event tracing facility in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/13.08#Light-weight_event_tracing - version 13.08].
The underlying core service - appropriately named TRACE - used to be an
outlier among core's services in that it provided a privileged interface with
system-global reach. A trace client is assumed to play a privileged role and
must be ultimately trusted. This is arguably fine for the typical use cases
where event tracing is used in the lab. However, anticipating on-target
debugging on Sculpt OS, the desire for on-target tracing by untrusted trace
monitors casually running on Sculpt OS is anything but far-fetched. To allow
for the secure use of untrusted trace monitors, the global reach of core's
trace service is no longer satisfactory.
The current release changes core's trace service to expose trace subjects
only if their PD label matches up with the label of the trace monitor. Hence,
by default, a trace monitor can only observe itself and its child components.
Only if the trace monitor's parent rewrites the trace-session's label, the
view of the trace monitor can become broader. For example, when rewriting the
trace label to an empty string "", the trace monitor becomes able to observe
the sibling components hosted in the same init instance as the trace monitor.
Note that the trace-subject label as reported as subject info to a trace
monitor is now given relative to the label of the trace session.
To grant a trace session the special privilege of obtaining a global
system view (including the kernel's trace subjects), the top-level init
has to rewrite the session's label to an empty string. At core, this
specific label "init -> " is handled as a special case that discharges
the namespacing of trace subjects.
In Sculpt OS, the user can now select one of three options when connecting a
trace monitor to core's trace service. The "component" option restricts the
tracing to the trace monitor itself, the "deployment" option exposes the
entire runtime subsystem to the trace monitor, whereas the "system" option
exposes the entire Sculpt system to the trace monitor. The latter two options
require adequate trust in the trace monitor.
Deferred unlinking of files in VFS RAM file systems
===================================================
UNIX systems defer the physical deletion of a file until the last file
descriptor referring to the file is closed. Since Genode's VFS does not (try
to) implement this scheme, we encountered a few difficulties while porting
3rd-party software to Genode. In some situations, a parent process of a
Unix-like subsystem may pass the content of an unlinked file to a forked child
process. This can be observed when using the 'exec' command in Tcl scripts.
Another example is the use of the 'tmpfile()' POSIX function.
In the use cases we observed, the mechanism was merely used for _/tmp_ files,
which are usually backed by a '<ram>' file system in Genode's VFS. Hence, to
accommodate these programs, we changed the unlink operation of the ram fs to
defer the destruction of a file until it is no longer referenced by any VFS
handle. When unlinked, the file no longer appears in the directory.
But it can still be opened and accessed.
Improved API safety of MMIO accesses
====================================
The 'Register' respectively 'Mmio' APIs have become predominant in Genode's
native drivers where the type-safe access to hardware registers has become a
second nature. However, up until recently, one point of uncertainty remained:
Since the 'Mmio' utility evaluated only the base address of a memory-mapped
I/O range, all associated register definitions were assumed to be fully
contained within the corresponding local memory mapping. An accidental
violation of this assumption would remain undetected.
The current release replaces this optimistic assumption by a combination of
two mandatory upper-bounds checks. Each 'Mmio' instance is now qualified with
a 'size_t' template parameter denoting the size of the memory-mapped I/O range
in bytes. Each register definition within the 'Mmio' is statically checked
against this upper bound at compile time. At runtime, the local memory mapping
of the I/O range is checked against the statically defined 'Mmio::SIZE'.
A violation is considered a non-recoverable driver bug, prompting an error
message along with a 'Range_violation' exception.
This change modifies the API. Existing driver code must be adapted in two
respects. First, each 'Mmio' definition must be annotated with the expected
size in bytes as template argument. Second, the 'Mmio' constructor requires a
'Byte_range_ptr' argument instead of a plain 'addr_t' value.
Application-level VFS file watching
===================================
The convenience API at _os/vfs.h_ provides utilities for using the VFS as
a stand-alone library without depending on the libc. Among its utilities,
there exists the so-called watch handler that can be used to monitor file
modifications. As watch handlers were primarily used by VFS plugins and
the C runtime, they used to operate in the context of low-level I/O signal
handlers. Code executed in this context should generally not involve any
global side effects that depend on I/O signals themselves (like synchronous
file access).
With the current release, the 'Watch_handler' becomes safe to use at
application level where global side effects are anticipated. The former use
case is now covered by the dedicated 'Io::Watch_handler'.
Device drivers
##############
Linux-device-driver environment (DDE)
=====================================
ARMv6 compatibility
-------------------
In the previous release, we updated our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#USB_device_drivers_updated_to_Linux_6.1.20 - USB device drivers]
to Linux 6.1.20 using 'virt_linux'. Drivers or protocol stacks based on
'virt_linux' do not access hardware directly. They either communicate through
another instance - like the USB host controller for USB device drivers - with
the hardware or do not require hardware at all (e.g., TCP/IP, WireGuard).
The 'virt_linux' flavour is still CPU-architecture specific because it
contains low-level assembly code. A limitation of Genode release 23.11 was
that there is no support for ARMv6 in 'virt_linux'. As devices based on ARMv6
can still be found in the wild (e.g., Raspberry Pi Zero), the current release
supplements support for ARMv6 to 'virt_linux', the USB device drivers, and the
TCP/IP stack. For this to work, we had to separate code shared by ARMv6 and
ARMv7 platforms. In many places, there would be a directory like _spec/arm_,
which would contain build rules or code for both architectures. ARMv6 and
ARMv7 have many things in common - until they don't. With the current release,
we have split these folders into _arm_v6_ and _arm_v7_ respectively and while
we were at it renamed _arm_64_ into _arm_v8_ for consistency. With this
approach, it became possible to introduce ARMv6 and ARMv7 specific kernel
configurations to 'virt_linux', and thus, enable support for drivers/protocol
stacks for both architectures.
Initcall handling without relying on global constructors
--------------------------------------------------------
When porting Linux drivers, a lot of code is placed into modules. Modules
always have a magic module-function call (e.g., 'module_init'), which
registers a function for the initialization of the module and is executed
during kernel startup prior device probing. DDE Linux mapped 'module_init'
indirectly to a macro that generated a function as a static constructor
(ctor), which in turn registered the required module function (Note: This is
simplified because there is also an order that must be preserved). This
solution required all ported components to call 'exec_static_constructors' in
order to trigger the registration of module-init calls before executing any
other Linux kernel code, but not before the 'Lx_kit' initialization because
the init-call functions had to be registered in advance. This scheme led to
hen-and-egg problems in our TCP/IP stack
(Section [TCP/IP stack based on DDE-Linux version 6.1.20]) and our WiFi driver
port because they are shared libraries where static constructors must be
called at a later stage.
In order to avoid these kinds of problems, we changed the module-init approach
by replacing the macro-generated functions with global-function pointers with
a well known prefix. These pointers are collected by the DDE-Linux-build
system using ELF reading tools (i.e., 'nm') after the compile step and are
placed into a function ('lx_emul_register_initcalls') which is called during
'Lx_kit' startup. This way, no changes to existing drivers are necessary, and
the static constructor problem disappeared for the shared library cases.
Note: Any ported driver still using 'exec_static_constructors' can remove the
call after checking if there are no static constructors from other C++ objects
present.
Suspend/resume awareness of GPU, AHCI, and NVMe drivers
=======================================================
As a further step towards general ACPI suspend/resume support, our
custom-developed drivers for Intel GPU, NVME, and AHCI got re-worked to
cooperate with the feature.
Before the final suspend, the drivers can now be notified to stop processing
further client data and to shut down the devices used by closing the
'Platform::Device'. This prompts the platform driver to power-off the
corresponding PCI device. However, DMA buffers containing all the client data
are kept in memory and are not de-allocated. This means that the client
sessions for GPU and 'Block_session' can stay intact (for ACPI S3 - suspend to
memory) and don't require a restart of the users of GPU, NVME, and AHCI on
resume.
On resume, after the kernel is up again, the drivers need to get notified to
re-acquire the PCI device from the platform driver. The platform driver will
power-on the re-acquired devices and the GPU/NVME/AHCI drivers will set up the
device resources, e.g. MMIO and IRQ, and then re-initialize the devices. The
drivers will finally restart processing session requests. This way the clients
will just continue to operate as though nothing had happened.
The test scenario for suspend/resume can be test-driven by using
_run/acpi_suspend_, which contains a periodic suspend-resume cycle for
developing purposes.
Dynamic aperture handling for high resolution framebuffers
==========================================================
We extended the Intel GPU driver with a configuration option to specify the
amount of the graphics aperture provided to the ported Intel display driver.
Beforehand it was a fixed amount (64M), which may not suffice for all
use-cases. The aperture is a shared resource, which must be used for various
GPU-related internal data structures and is used from CPU side for access to
the framebuffers by the display driver. When the display driver sets up
several framebuffers with high resolutions, the fixed amount may be too small.
The snippet below shows the new configuration option and the default value:
! <start name="intel_gpu_drv" ...>
! <resource name="RAM" .../>
! <provides>
! <service name="Gpu"/>
! <service name="Platform"/>
! </provides>
! <config max_framebuffer_memory="64M">
! ...
Improved human-interface device handling
========================================
In preparation of the _support for I2C-based HID (touchpad) devices_
[https://genode.org/about/road-map#February_-_Release_24.02 - road-map item],
we dusted off several aspects of our input-event handling from the drivers
over the event API to the event-filter component. At the heart of the
improvements, we developed a broad understanding of the specifics of the
different motion-event device types that are widely in use. First, there are
mice and touchpads, which generate relative-motion events that are translated
by the GUI stack to movements of the GUI pointer. Then, we have three kinds of
absolute-motion devices: pointers (e.g., Qemu usb-tablet or IP-KVM device like
[https://pikvm.org/ - PiKVM]), touchscreens, and graphics-tablet tools (e.g.,
stylus). These devices require translation of device-specific absolute
coordinates to screen coordinates.
On the driver side, we rewrote our custom *evdev* driver that interfaces
with all current and future ported Linux input drivers. Now, evdev covers
all peculiarities of the different device types, for example, touch devices
that report up to 16 event slots (resp. fingers), and reports them via
Genode Event sessions. Also, we implemented minimal "gesture" support for
simple tap-to-click for touchpads that could be improved in the future,
e.g., by two-finger-scrolling. Based on the rewrite, we could easily enable
support for the Magic Trackpad in usb_hid_drv.
The event filter was extended by a filter node to transform touch and
absolute-motion event coordinates by a sequence of primitives expressed in
sub-nodes, namely translation (move), scaling, rotation, and flipping.
For example, the scaling of 32767x32767 touch coordinates to a FullHD screen
is configured like follows. All primitives are documented in the event-filter
README file.
! <transform>
! <input name="usb"/>
! <scale x="0.0586" y="0.0330"/>
! </transform>
Additionally, the event filter now supports to optionally log motion and touch
events beside keys and buttons.
! <log motion="true"> <input name="usb"/> </log>
Unfortunately, the developments outlined above delayed the actual integration
of the prospected I2C HID support to a later release.
Multi-client use of Vivante GPU (i.MX8)
=======================================
In this release, we brought our port of the etnaviv driver, which was still
limited to one client only, up to speed. It now joins the other GPU drivers in
providing multi-client support.
Back in release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.11#Vivante_GPUs__i.MX8_ - 21.11],
we added support for the Vivante GC7000L GPU featured in the i.MX8MQ SoC to
Genode via a port of the etnaviv Linux and Mesa3D driver. As a blueprint, it
served us well when enabling another GPU for a different ARMv8 SoC, namely the
Mali GPU in the PinePhone. The etnaviv port itself, however, never left its
initial state and was able to cater to one client only. For this reason it was
co-located and deployed in tandem with the client requiring its service. This
factor somewhat restricted its usefulness in Sculpt when used in a
desktop-like capacity on, e.g., the MNT Reform.
The current release lifts this limitation and enables the driver to accommodate
multiple clients at the same time.
Libraries and applications
##########################
VirtualBox
==========
As a debugging aid, we enabled the reporting of Windows Blue Screen of Death
(BSOD) reasons in our VirtualBox port. To enable the output, the new release
adds a default of '+dbgf+gim' to the 'VBOX_LOG' environment variable. With
VirtualBox Guest Additions installed in the Windows guest, after a "Guest
indicates a fatal condition!", the reason for the blue screen will be printed
to the log.
Seoul VMM
=========
Several improvements got added since the previous Genode release, which showed
up during daily use of a Genode developer VM. On the one hand, the exported
guest-cursor shape was a bit offset from its actual position. Besides the
guest shape, small hot_x, hot_y shifts are exported, which are now considered
in order to position the mouse cursor shape more accurately. Additionally, the
processing of alt-gr and <>| keys on German keyboard layouts got enabled.
Finally, the AHCI model and the bindings to the Genode block session got
reworked. Up to now, the AHCI model could not cope with delaying a block
request in case the block session was saturated. Instead of making temporary
copies, as done before, the AHCI model now supports keeping guest requests in
guest memory when necessary and resumes block operations as soon as the block
session is able to process more requests.
Lighttpd web server version 1.4.73
==================================
We updated our port of the [https://www.lighttpd.net - lighttpd] HTTP server
and at the same time also extended its feature-set by enabling the WebDAV
module.
Rather than being used as a general purpose HTTP server that comes with all
bells and whistles, it powers our [https://genodians.org - Genodians]
appliance in static fashion and with WebDAV in place is now also the
foundation for the goa testbed introduced in
Section [Sculpt OS as remote test target for the Goa SDK].
Jitterentropy version 3.4.1
===========================
Back in 2014, we ported the
[https://www.chronox.de/jent/index.html - jitterentropy library] as a basic
component-local entropy source for seeding pseudo random-number generators like
[https://prng.di.unimi.it/ - Xoroshiro] or [https://www.pcg-random.org/ - PCG].
As the last port update dates back years, we brought the most recent version
3.4.1 of jitterentropy to Genode. The new library is API-compatible to the old
version and can be integrated as usual via the '<jitterentropy>' plugin into
your VFS configuration.
Build system and tools
######################
Goa SDK
=======
In addition to the support for using Sculpt as test target for Goa
(Section [Sculpt OS as remote test target for the Goa SDK]), the latter
underwent quite a few usability adjustments.
As announced in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Support_of_index_projects - release 23.08],
Goa has been enabled to export and publish a personal depot index. The depot
index lists the depot user's packages in a nested structure of '<index>' nodes.
The initial support for index projects, however, was restricted to two levels
of '<index>' nodes. We eliminated this restriction in order to clear the path
for large depot indexes with hierarchical structure.
When using Goa to export and publish a depot index, one always had to provide
the '--depot-overwrite' switch in order to overwrite the current depot index.
Goa also propagated this switch to any sub-project that got exported along
with the depot index. In practice, however, an index project will typically be
exported and published when development on all sub-projects has finished,
hence there is no need for re-exporting already exported sub-projects.
We therefore added the '--depot-retain' switch in order to express the intent
to not overwrite any depot content. Instead of propagating the
'--depot-overwrite' switch, Goa now uses the '--depot-retain' switch when it
automatically exports sub-projects.
Along with the support for index projects, Goa had been equipped with the
ability to lookup version information from other project directories. By
default, Goa uses the current working directory as a starting point for the
lookup of projects and their versions. The practical use of this was still
limited, though, since it required using the '-C' argument to execute Goa
from a different directory than the project directory. We thus introduced the
'search_dir' config variable that allows defining the directory from which Goa
starts searching for depended on projects.
When porting CMake-based projects with Goa, we often needed to patch the
_CMakeLists.txt_ or add quirks to Goa in order to disarm CMake's
'find_library' command. Instead of resorting to those ad-hoc solutions, we
decided to add support for _FindXXX.cmake_ files in api archives. Any api
archive mentioned in the _used_apis_ file is now added to the
'CMAKE_MODULE_PATH' so that CMake is able to correctly identify the presence
of depended on libraries via the _FindXXX.cmake_ files. An example is found
in the Goa repository at _examples/cmake_sdl2_.
In addition to the aforementioned changes, we added a couple of minor tweaks:
* We added the sub-commands 'goa help index' and 'goa help runtime' to document
the structure of _index_ and _runtime_ files.
* The sub-command 'goa bump-version' now creates a _version_ file if none exists.
Convenient parsing of backtraces
================================
The new _tool/backtrace_ parses the copied and pasted shared library info of a
component (generated with <config ld_verbose="yes"/>) and the log output of the
'Genode::backtrace()' function and prints the corresponding source locations in
a convenient way.

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 24.05
===============================================
Genode Labs
The main driver behind Genode 24.05 was the
[https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-24.04 - recent release] of Sculpt
OS 24.04 ([https://genodians.org/nfeske/2024-04-26-sculpt-os - What's new?]).
Among the many usability advances of Sculpt OS is the flexible assignment
of USB devices to components and virtual machines.
Section [Fine-grained and dynamic assignment of USB devices/interfaces]
introduces the underpinnings that made our new quality of life possible.
Another user-facing feature with a surprisingly deep technical reach is
suspend/resume. Section [Suspend/resume infrastructure] details the changes of
the framework on that account. The new ability of seamlessly using the GNU
debugger on top of Sculpt OS is a game changer for developers
(Section [On-target debugging using the GNU debugger (GDB)]).
Further user-visible and user-audible topics are the support for
high-resolution displays and the wrapped-up transition to our new audio stack
(Section [Transition to the new audio interfaces introduced in 24.02]).
Besides the many usability-motivated topics of our
[https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], however, we celebrate
the break-through of running Sculpt OS directly on our custom microkernel
alternatively to using a 3rd-party kernel.
Section [First version of Sculpt OS based on Genode's custom kernel]
details the background story, the showstoppers we had to overcome, and the
prospects of this achievement.

The "Genode Foundations" book covers Genode's architecture, developer work
flows, and reference material. In tandem with the current release, the
document received its annual update, which includes not only adjustments
to the most recent version but also new material about accessing GPIO pins,
audio, debugging, and prominent APIs like the list model.
Further topics of the current release reach from timing and network-throughput
optimizations, over the profound rework of storage encryption, to updated
3rd-party software such as Mesa, libSDL2, and Curl.

First version of Sculpt OS based on Genode's custom kernel
##########################################################
The ability to use a wide variety of kernels is certainly a distinctive
feature of Genode. Since the very first version, the framework accommodated
both a microkernel and the Linux kernel.
Over the years, we embraced most members of the L4 family of kernels
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/9.05#Supporting_the_OKL4_kernel_as_new_base_platform - OKL4],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/9.02#Genode_on_L4ka__Pistachio - Pistachio],

[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.02#Codezero_kernel_as_new_base_platform - Codezero]),
all object-capability microkernels we could get our hands on
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.02#NOVA_hypervisor_as_new_base_platform - NOVA],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.02#Support_for_Fiasco.OC - Fiasco.OC],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.05#Proof-of-concept_support_for_the_seL4_kernel - seL4]),
and even combined the framework with a static isolation kernel
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.08#Genode_on_top_of_the_Muen_Separation_Kernel - Muen]).
Confronting the framework with largely different kernel mechanisms has
undoubtedly strengthened Genode's software design, but also gave us a great
depth of insights into the landscape of kernel designs and the implications of
the respective design choices. It did not take us long to question some of
these choices, and we started experimenting with custom kernel designs on our
own. This work made its first appearance in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.02#Approaching_platform_support_for_Xilinx_MicroBlaze - 11.02]
targeting Xilinx Microblaze softcore CPUs.
Without haste, we steadily evolved this kernel as a research endeavour, mainly targeting ARM CPUs
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.05#Multi-processor_support - SMP],
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/trustzone - TrustZone],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.02#Virtualization_on_ARM - virtualization],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.08#64-bit_ARM_and_NXP_i.MX8 - 64 bit]),
and later also addressing the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.05#Feature_completion_of_our_custom_kernel__base-hw_ - x86]
architecture.
When we
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/18.02#Sculpt_for_Early_Adopters - started]
creating Sculpt OS as a Genode-based operating system for commodity PCs, we
picked NOVA as kernel of choice. NOVA's unique combination of microkernel and
virtualization mechanisms served us extremely well. It is truly a technical
marvel! But like any other 3rd-party kernel, it imposes certain complexities
and points of friction onto the user land. In contrast to 3rd-party kernels
like NOVA or seL4, which are self-sufficient programs, our custom kernel is
melted with Genode's core component. This alleviates redundant data structures
between kernel and user space and makes Genode's resource management directly
applicable to kernel objects. In other words, it fits like a glove. Hence,
looking ahead, we foresee a much simpler and ever more coherent trusted
computing base of Sculpt OS.
In order to realize this vision, we had to tackle a couple of long-time
showstoppers. First of all, we needed to move IOMMU support out of the kernel
into the user-level platform driver to render it kernel-agnostic. We completed
a major part of this transition with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#Kernel-agnostic_DMA_protection - release 23.11].
Second, virtualization of commodity operating systems is a common use case for
Sculpt installations, ours at Genode Labs included. Therefore, adding support
for Intel's Virtual-Machine Extensions (VMX) was another important missing
piece of the puzzle. Under the hood, we refactored and generalized the
kernel's x86 hypervisor support to allow for the selection of the available
virtualization technology at runtime and consolidated code for page-table
handling. Even though we still have some way to go before the kernel is ready
to replace the time-tested NOVA hypervisor as the default kernel for Sculpt
OS, this release is a milestone in that direction.
The Sculpt OS variant using our custom kernel is now available as a
ready-to-use system image at [https://depot.genode.org/jschlatow/image]
for Intel systems up to 8th generation core processors (Whiskey Lake).
Note, when using Sculpt's integrated update mechanisms, you must already run
at least Sculpt 24.04. The system image includes a launcher for running a
Tiny-Core-Linux VM with a Firefox browser in VirtualBox. The launcher requires
a window manager that is best deployed by switching to the corresponding
preset. You also need to enable the _system clock_ and _mixer_ options.
Note that there are still a few areas of improvement for this Sculpt variant:
The IOMMU support currently omits IRQ remapping, which is important to shield
the system from rogue devices sending arbitrary interrupts. Moreover, we plan
to improve the kernel scheduling for interactive and time-critical workloads.
Fine-grained and dynamic assignment of USB devices/interfaces
#############################################################
USB support has a long history within the Genode framework and for almost one
decade its client session API has remained stable. Back in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/15.02#USB_session_interface - 2015],
we split the USB host-controller driver parts from other USB client device
drivers. Since then, a USB client component could request exactly one USB
device per session from the USB server resp. USB host-controller driver.
Moreover, a client had to drive the device in its entirety.
This former approach led to some limitations and intricateness. First, USB
drivers capable of driving more than one device of the same class needed to
know each device to request in advance. This information was not delivered by
the USB session but by means of configuration. The out-of-band information
path complicated the management of USB devices in complex systems like Sculpt
OS, e.g., when passing arbitrary USB devices to a guest OS running inside a
virtual machine.
The second drawback was related to USB devices with multiple interfaces of
different interface classes, most prominently, USB headsets with extra buttons
for volume control. Such devices typically have several USB interfaces for
audio playback and recording, and at least one interface for HID input events.
Whereas the development of one driver for each interface class is certainly an
attainable goal, creating driver mixtures for each potential combination of
interfaces is unrealistic. Ultimately, we strive to freely operate different
interfaces of a single device by dedicated drivers.
These limitations accompanied us for quite some time, and a design to overcome
them matured at the back of our minds. With the current release, the USB
session eventually received its long-anticipated redesign.
The new USB session API provides a _devices_ ROM to its client. Within this
ROM a client can retrieve all relevant information about existing devices it
is allowed to access. You can think of it as a virtual private USB bus for
this client. When a new device gets connected that matches the client's policy
of the USB host controller driver, the ROM gets updated appropriately. If a
device gets removed physically, it'll vanish from the _devices_ ROM, which
may, for example, look as follows.
! <devices>
! <device name="usb-1-10" class="0x0" product="USB Optical Mouse"
! vendor_id="0x1bcf" product_id="0x5" speed="low" acquired="true">
! <config active="true" value="0x1">
! <interface active="true" number="0x0" alt_setting="0x0"
! class="0x3" subclass="0x1" protocol="0x2">
! <endpoint address="0x81" attributes="0x3"
! max_packet_size="0x7"/>
! </interface>
! </config>
! </device>
! </devices>
As can be seen in the example, the human-readable XML representation of the
USB devices already contains most information that normally resides in the
full-length device descriptor of the USB standard. That means a driver can
parse relevant information about available configurations, interfaces, and
endpoints - including their types and identifiers - without the need to
communicate with the device in the first place.
Besides the _devices_ ROM, the new USB-session API consists of an acquire
function and a function to release a formerly acquired device. The acquisition
of a device returns a capability to a new device RPC API. This distinct API
includes a function to obtain a packet-stream buffer to exchange USB control
requests with the USB host-controller driver. The host-controller driver
sanity-checks the control requests, and potentially forwards them to the
device. Thereby, a client can change the configuration of the device, enable
an alternate interface, or request additional descriptors regarding
device-class specific aspects.
Moreover, the device RPC API provides functions to acquire or release an
interface of the device. When acquiring an interface, a capability to the
interface RPC API gets returned. This third new RPC API provides a
packet-stream buffer to the client, which allows for the exchange of
interrupt, bulk, or isochronous transfers with the host-controller driver.
The host-controller driver checks these transfer requests for plausibility,
and forwards them directly to the device and vice versa.
The whole internals of the different RPC API layers, however, are not imposed
on the developer. Instead, convenient helper utilities are provided within
_repos/os/include/usb_session/device.h_. Those helper classes simplify the
acquisition of USB devices and interfaces. Moreover, they support the notion
of USB Request Blocks (Urbs) on the level of device (control) and interface
(irq, bulk, isochronous). For an example component that makes use of these
utilities, please refer to the USB block driver.
All components that directly use the USB session have been adapted to the new
API. This includes the Linux USB driver ports for host controllers, HID, USB
Ethernet cards, the libusb library port, our XHCI model within VirtualBox, and
the black-hole component.
Practical considerations
------------------------
For users of the framework or Sculpt OS, the most notable change is that all
USB clients use their own _devices_ ROM to react to device appearance and
disappearance. No global information is required anymore. That means the
addition of a new policy rule in the USB host-controller's configuration is
sufficient to, e.g., let a device appear in a Linux guest. If the rule already
exists, even the pure physical connect will result in the appearance of the
device.
Because one USB session can now control an arbitrary number of devices, the
syntax of the policy rules for a USB host controller driver changed a bit:
! <config>
! <policy label="usb_net">
! <device vendor_id="0x0424" product_id="0xec00"/>
! </policy>
! <policy label="usb_hid">
! <device class="0x3"/>
! </policy>
! <policy label="vm">
! <device name="usb-2-2"/>
! <device name="usb-2-4"/>
! </policy>
! </config>
As you might notice, there is no differentiation in the policy rules on the
interface-level yet. In short, each device is still handled by only one
driver. As a prerequisite to assign drivers to individual interfaces, drivers
first have to become resilient against denied device-acquisition attempts.
This is not the case for most ported drivers or virtualized guest OSes. Hence,
even though the USB session API is now prepared for driving interfaces of one
USB device by dedicated drivers, we decided against activating this feature on
the policy level at the current time. Nonetheless, once a set of interface
drivers gets in place, we can enable the added flexibility without touching
the USB session API again.
Sculpt OS
---------
The outcome of this line of work is already present in
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2024-04-26-sculpt-os - Sculpt OS 24.04], which makes the
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-24-04#Assignment_of_USB_devices_to_components - assignment of USB devices]
to components intuitive and secure.
On-target debugging using the GNU debugger (GDB)
################################################
The renovation of our debugging monitor in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Multi-component_debug_monitor - Genode 23.08]
was driven by the vision of easy on-target debugging on Sculpt OS. Just
imagine, any runtime component from applications over device drivers to VMMs,
like VirtualBox, could be started with debugging optionally enabled. The key
to make this vision come true is the debug monitor at the heart of the Sculpt
runtime. All other missing ingredients for viable on-target debugging - above
all a GDB front end - are introduced with this release.
The _debug monitor_ component got introduced in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Multi-component_debug_monitor - 23.08].
It is a drop-in replacement for the init component with the added ability to
control the execution and memory content of selected child components using
the GDB remote serial protocol. On Sculpt, the debug monitor now acts as the
runtime init component. The user decides which components are made available
to debugger control with a check mark in the launcher menu before the
component is started. If the component is selected for debugging, the monitor
configuration part for this component is added to the Sculpt runtime
configuration.
The [https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/ - GDB] component is the user-facing part
of the debugging experience. It presents a command line interface in a
graphical terminal window and communicates with the debug monitor in the
background. The user can enter GDB commands for inspecting and modifying the
state of monitored components.
In order to debug a component in a meaningful way, GDB usually needs to
evaluate the executable files of the component and profits hugely from
additional debug information like symbol names and source-code location
information generated by the compiler. As this information can take up a lot
of space, we decided to store it in separate debug info files shipped in
dedicated _dbg_ depot packages since version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#Debug_information_for_depot_binaries - 23.11].
Two small support components help to make this information available to GDB at
runtime:
The _dbg_download_ component can be started by the user by checking the
_download debug info_ option in the Sculpt launcher menu. It evaluates the
Sculpt runtime configuration in the background and downloads any missing _dbg_
archive content of monitored components into the depot.
The _gdb_support_ component is started automatically together with GDB. It
evaluates the Sculpt runtime configuration in the background and dynamically
creates directories with symbolic links to the depot binaries and debug info
files of monitored components in a RAM file system shared with GDB, and
thereby allows GDB to access these files in a convenient way.
[image on_target_gdb]
With this setup in place, the user can debug multiple components at once
and control the execution of threads on an individual basis thanks to GDB's
_non-stop_ mode.
Learn how to integrate and use GDB on Sculpt with our article and screencast
video on [https://genodians.org/chelmuth/2024-05-17-on-target-debugging - Genodians.org].
One noteworthy challenge discovered while testing on Sculpt was that GDB
apparently was not prepared for the case that there are no initial inferiors
and that the first inferior could appear spontaneously on the remote side
instead of being actively started by GDB. We had to make some adaptations to
the GDB source code to support this situation and some more adaptations might
be necessary in the future, for example to update the output of the
_info inferiors_ command when the first inferior appears.
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Transition to the new audio interfaces introduced in 24.02
==========================================================
In Genode's
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.02#Revised_audio_infrastructure - February release],
we introduced new audio 'Record' and 'Play' sessions intended to supersede the
old 'Audio_in' and 'Audio_out' interfaces. In the time following up to the
current release, we worked on integrating the new sessions into the existing
components. In fact, they are already exercised in the most recent
[https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-24.04 - Sculpt release].
As most prominently used by ported software, the VFS OSS plugin plays a vital
role in interfacing with Genode's native audio stack. The already existing
VFS plugin got renamed to _legacy_oss_ while the new one takes its place and
is usable as a drop-in replacement. Existing users have to adapt the session
routes accordingly or change their VFS configuration to make use of the
legacy plugin, if the use of the new sessions is not yet desirable.
In contrast to the old plugin, it is possible to configure the fragment size a
client is allowed to use via its configuration and thereby enforce its latency
requirements. The fragment size ranges from 2048 to 8192 bytes, which equals a
period length of around 11.6 to 46.4 ms when using a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
The plugin leverages the ability of the _report_play_mixer_ to convert sample
rates. However, to constrain the resource requirements of the plugin, it is
limited from 8 kHz to 48 kHz, which covers a reasonable range. Please consult
the _repos/gems/src/lib/vfs/oss/README_ file for more information.
The _black_hole_ component gained additional support for providing the play
and record sessions so that it is able to perform its role when using the new
sessions. We also removed the custom audio subsystem from our SDL1.2 port in
favor of using its own OSS back end, which brings it in line with our SDL2
port.
As there are no critical components left that exclusively use the old sessions
directly, the way is paved to remove them. However, we keep the legacy audio
sessions intact to give users time to migrate their components and become
comfortable with the new interfaces.
Improved timing stability
=========================
Our recent work on real-time audio processing moved the timing characteristics
of the framework into focus. Low latency cannot be attained in the presence of
high jitter. But in a component-based system carrying general-purpose
workloads, jitter can be induced for many reasons including kernel scheduling,
spontaneous high-priority events, or the interference between clients of
shared services. The timer driver in particular is such a shared service.
While analyzing the timer's behaviour under stress, we indeed observed
unwelcome interference between timer clients. E.g., the stability of a
waveform generated at a period of 5 milliseconds would be effected by
otherwise unrelated spontaneous USB-HID events. Those observations motivated
the following improvements:
First, we simplified the timer implementation to make it dead-simple to
understand and straight-forward to trace its behavior. The timer no longer
relies on TSC-interpolated measurements but only on ground-truth values
obtained from the timing device (or from the underlying kernel). Second, to
improve accuracy at the client side, the timer no longer limits the time
resolution when the current time is queried. The deliberate limiting of the
time resolution is applied only to the triggering of timeouts in order to cap
the timer's CPU load induced by its clients. Third, to limit the rate of
inter-component communication, the timer batches the wake-up of clients that
have timeouts closely clustered together. Combined, those measures reduced the
cross-client interferences between timer clients comfortably below the level
relevant for our synthetic test setup using audio periods of 5 ms. Note that
such small periods are not generally usable in practice because real-world
audio applications are subjected to additional sources of jitter.
The improvements are in effect for the timers used on NOVA, the base-hw
kernel, and the PIT-based timer as used on seL4, OKL4, and Pistachio. Linux,
Fiasco.OC, and L4/Fiasco are not covered yet.
Device drivers
##############
Linux-device-driver environment (DDE)
=====================================
Porting Linux drivers to Genode is a multi-staged process with the
configuration of a minimal yet functional platform-specific Linux kernel as
an essential step. The device support in this kernel is the baseline and
reference for the final Genode driver. To simplify the testing of minimal
kernel images, we introduced new run scripts for i.MX boards and PCs. Now, a
plain execution of 'make run/pc_linux' or 'make run/imx_linux' runs Linux on
the test target as known from Genode scenarios. In case of i.MX, a FIT image
is generated, whereas we provide an i.PXE-bootable image for PCs. The run
scripts integrate busybox into an initial RAM disk and, for i.MX, amend this
image with _memtool_, a tool by Pengutronix to inspect all kind of memory
under Linux (via _/dev/mem_).
Furthermore, we address some deficiencies in DDE Linux with this release.
We improved support for fine-grained, sub-millisecond timing by enabling
high-resolution timers and attended to a long-standing pc_nic_drv link reset
bug that manifested in some situations on some platforms only. For driver
developers, we added the 'lx_emul_trace_msg()' function for the generation
of low-overhead trace entries that can be used to debug timing-sensitive or
high-traffic scenarios.
Intel framebuffer and GPU driver
================================
An essential prerequisite for providing a GUI as Sculpt OS does, is having a
driver for the graphics controller. In Genode, this task is split between the
framebuffer driver and the GPU driver. Exposing these to a growing range of
devices led to a few robustness and compatibility improvements for the Intel
framebuffer/GPU drivers.
In the context of the latest Sculpt release, we made the accounting of maximum
framebuffer memory configurable. Previously, this was derived from the
component's RAM quota, which implicitly limited the maximum display
resolution. The separate configuration explicitly sets the maximum framebuffer
memory by default to 64 MiB, which suffices for resolutions of at least
3840x2160. The actual memory used by the component depends on the configured
display resolution. If the RAM quota is depleted, the component will issue a
resource request. The configuration follows the scheme established for the GPU
driver with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.02#Dynamic_aperture_handling_for_high_resolution_framebuffers - release 24.02].
In this release, we also incorporated a vendor check in the Intel framebuffer
driver in order to ensure that it only operates Intel devices. Our central
platform driver typically hands out all VGA-class devices to the driver,
including GPUs of other vendors. This caused issues on platforms with an
additional Nvidia GPU for multiple users. Thanks to Alice Domage for this
contribution.
Furthermore, we fixed a few issues that popped up when test-driving Sculpt OS
on the ZimaBlade. By doing this, we added support for Intel HD Graphics 500 to
the Intel framebuffer/GPU drivers. This GPU can be found in various Intel
Processors in the Pentium/Celeron N-series.
Suspend/resume infrastructure
=============================
As planned in our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], we
integrated the current state of x86 suspend/resume as a feature into Sculpt
OS. The sculpt manager got enhanced to drive the system state and manage the
life cycle of driver components during suspend-resume cycles.
The new
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-24-04#System_power_control - power options]
can be found in the _System_ menu once the ACPI support option is activated.
[image sculpt_24_04_system_power]
Non-stateful drivers are removed from the runtime before suspending and are
restarted during resume, e.g., network drivers. Stateful drivers like NVME,
AHCI, and GPU drivers participate cooperatively in the system states by
stopping their processing and reporting their fulfillment. Currently, the USB
host driver needs to be restarted forcefully on resume. To avoid data loss,
the power suspend feature is not offered while a USB block device is in use.
Additionally, during Sculpt integration, several drivers got enhanced. The
acpica application now reflects the completion of the last action, which the
sculpt manager monitors and incorporates into the system state machine. The PC
platform driver saves and restores the IOMMU configurations before and after
suspend. Additionally, the platform driver gained the ability to trigger the
final suspend RPC to Genode's core. Furthermore, the Intel display driver now
participates in the system state changes by switching off all connectors
before suspend in order to reduce graphical noise on displays during the
transition.
Mesa updated to version 24.0.1
==============================
With the goal to add support for more recent Intel GPUs (Alder Lake+), we took
the first step by updating our three-year-old Mesa 21 to version 24. Because
Mesa is under heavy development, the effort to do so was more elaborate than
anticipated. For the current release, we enabled all the previously supported
GPUs, which are Intel Gen8 (Broadwell), Gen9 (Skylake up to Whiskey Lake),
Gen12 (Tiger Lake) using the Iris Gallium driver, Vivante as found in i.MX8
SoCs, and Mali on the PinePhone. There are still many improvements to be
explored, like buffer life-time management, using Mesa's native build system
(Meson) for simplifying future updates, testing Alder Lake, replacing softpipe
with llvm for software rendering, and adding Vulkan support, to name a few.
We are looking forward to tackle these topics in future Genode releases.
Removed obsolete loader component and session interface
=======================================================
The loader was originally introduced in version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/10.11#Qt4 - 10.11] as part of an
early [https://genode.org/news/genode-live-demonstration-2010-11 - live CD].
It later served the purpose of dynamically starting and stopping preconfigured
subsystems. As of today, the latter use case has long been covered by the
dynamically reconfigurable init component. The only substantial client of the
loader remained to be the qpluginwidget in combination with the Arora web
browser. But as the blending of plugins with websites never moved beyond a
fancy tech demo and Arora was replaced by Falkon, the current release removes
the now obsolete loader infrastructure.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Consolidation of Tresor block encryptor and File Vault
======================================================
Genode [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#Revision_of_Genode_s_custom_block-encryption_infrastructure - 23.05]
marked a big update of the core logic for block-data security and management
behind the file vault. It replaced the former Ada/SPARK-based implementation
called CBE with a C++-based, modernized library that we named _Tresor_. As a
side effect of this endeavor, we improved testing and fixed many issues of the
former approach. However, the tresor library also inherited some unwelcome
traits from its predecessor. The CBE approach was shaped in many ways by the
semantic restrictions imposed by SPARK and the tresor library had retained
some of these at the expense of code redundancy. In addition, we had adopted a
rather peculiar approach to execution flow that led to unforeseen
implementation complexity down the road. In order to improve this situation,
the current release comes with a comprehensive re-design of the tresor
library, relieving it from legacy burdens, significantly shrinking the code
base, and making it much easier to understand.
Once warmed up with the topic, we stepped one level up in the block-encryption
stack and continued reworking the tresor VFS plugin because it also suffered
from over-complexity and redundancy. After finishing that, we noticed that the
next higher layer - the File Vault - could also be improved in two ways:
First, the file vault used to combine two unrelated tasks in one component:
The logic for modeling typical user work-flows on the tresor VFS and the
operation of a graphical user interface. We found that these are better
assigned to separate components that work together via a narrow and
well-defined interface. Second, the file vault used to operate directly on
the low-level interface of the menu view component in order to drive its GUI
instead of using the newer and far easier dialog API for this purpose.
[image file_vault_gui]
For the component that deals with the logic, we stayed with the name
_file vault_ whereas the new front-end is the _file vault gui_.
Putting all these changes together, the whole ecosystem around the tresor block
encryption and the file vault becomes far more manageable and its code base
has been cut in half while providing the same feature set as before:
component | 23.05 | 24.05 | difference
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
lib/tresor | 14374 | 5212 | -63%
-----------------------------------------------------------
lib/vfs/tresor | 2728 | 1823 | -33%
-----------------------------------------------------------
lib/vfs/tresor_crypto | 1162 | 1213 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
lib/vfs/tresor_trust_anchor | 1800 | 1992 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
app/tresor_init | 159 | 93 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
app/tresor_init_trust_anchor | 166 | 163 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
app/file_vault | 5429 | 1256 | -76%
-----------------------------------------------------------
app/file_vault_gui | - | 617 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
total | 25818 | 12369 | -52%
But the update is not only about cleaning up. We also consolidated the stack
by, for instance, fixing and re-enabling asynchronous rekeying, implementing
robust handling of corner-case configurations, patching several performance
limitations, and further improving the test suite.
Last but not least, the file vault received two handy usability enhancements.
First, the new file-vault GUI is fully controllable via keyboard.
The hotkeys are documented in _repos/gems/src/app/file_vault_gui/README_.
Second, as an implication of separating GUI from logic, the text-based
interface of the file vault became the canonical way to steer that component.
In order to achieve that, the interface had to be extended to the full feature
set, which has the welcome side effect of easing the combination of the file
vault with alternative front ends. For instance, the file vault could now
become an integrated part of the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS.
The new interface is mostly backwards compatible (only the non-functional
version attribute disappeared) and documented in
_repos/gems/src/app/file_vault/README_.
Despite the extensive overhaul, file vault version 24.05 remains compatible
with old containers created via the 23.05 version and we also kept the
structure and appearance of the new graphical front end close to that of the
old version in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.
VirtualBox network-throughput improvements
==========================================
The Uplink and NIC session interfaces provide means to batch several network
packets before informing the other side to process the packets. The batching
is crucial to achieve good network throughput and also to keep the CPU
overhead per packet at a moderate level. Up to now, our ports of VirtualBox
did not leverage this feature, which became noticeable on systems under high
CPU load. By adding the batching of network packets to our VirtualBox ports,
we were able to reduce the CPU load and achieve stable throughput
measurements, which otherwise fluctuate more depending on other factors like
scheduling.
Seoul virtual machine monitor
=============================
Since the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.02#Seoul_VMM - previous]
release, the VMM received several improvements.
Notably, the former global motherboard lock got replaced by fine-grained
locking within each device model where appropriate. Thanks to the better CPU
utilization, long-running work, for example compilation, now finishes earlier.
The network binding got reworked and now reflects network link-state changes
from the Genode interface into the guest VMs. The legacy audio-session binding
got replaced by Genode's new Play interface.
The so far unused ACPI model of the Seoul sources got enabled and adjusted
to support so-called fixed ACPI events, e.g., power-button press event. On
GUI window close, the event is now triggered and forwarded to the guest VM.
Depending on the configuration of the guest, the VM may power down
automatically, similar as done by our port of VirtualBox.
Finally, a USB XHCI model powered by our qemu-usb library has been added to
Seoul, which got developed during our recent
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/4989 - Hack'n'Hike] event.
With this new model, USB devices can be passed through to the guest. It has
been successfully tested with several USB storage, keyboard, and audio
devices.
SDL2 improvements
=================
We enhanced our SDL2 port by enabling more subsystems, improving its window
handling, and adding support for its text-input API.
This release adds preliminary support window resizing. It works well for some
of the currently available ports but still has issues with others (especially
those using an OpenGL context) as it depends to some degree on the component
itself using the SDL2 library. As an additional feature, we added support for
setting the initial window geometry via the '<initial>' node, e.g.:
! <initial width="800" height="600"/>
This allows for restricting the initial window size because otherwise the
actual screen size will be used and that might be too large depending on the
attached display.
Support for using SDL2's text-input API has been enabled. Once the application
enables text input, any key press that has a valid Unicode codepoint is sent
as text input.
Curl updated to version 8.7.1
=============================
We updated our cURL port to version 8.7.1 to support the use of
elliptic-curve algorithms for TLS (CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES).
In setups where no service is employed to provide entropy, it might be
necessary to increase the amount of statically configured entropy. Doubling
the content of the '<inline>' VFS plugin as used in static configurations
seems satisfactory. Furthermore, DNS resolving needs a configured '<pipe>'
plugin to work properly. For an exemplary configuration, please look at the
_repos/libports/run/fetchurl.inc_ run-script snippet.
The 'fetchurl' component also gained a 'verbose' configuration option to
enable verbose operations as a convenience feature to ease debugging.
Platforms
#########
NOVA microhypervisor
====================
Some of the command-line options changed. The 'iommu' option is now split up
into 'iommu_amd' and 'iommu_intel', so that they may be enabled/disabled
separately. The 'novga' option turned into 'vga' since it is unused nowadays.
The tagged TLB feature for virtual machines is now enabled by default.
The kernel now supports the 'mwait' instruction besides the 'hlt' instruction,
which can be used to give hints to the CPU to enter deeper sleep states.
The feature is off by default and can be utilized via the 'Pd::system_control'
interface.
Build system and tools

Goa SDK
=======
Aligned with the Sculpt release, the Goa tool has been updated with the
corresponding depot archive versions for Sculpt 24.04. This also involved
adding support for the new audio play and record sessions.
The _Goa testbed_ package and preset have been updated accordingly so that
an out-of-the-box Sculpt 24.04 lends itself as a

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 24.08
===============================================
Genode Labs
Genode 24.08 puts emphasis on the tracking of the supported 3rd-party software
and consolidation work. It features the Qt6 application framework in addition
to the time-tested Qt5, consistently updates all Linux-based components and
PC device drivers from Linux version 6.1 to version 6.6.47, and updates Mesa
to version 24.0.8. The consolidation work revisits the framework's base and
GUI interfaces with respect to C++20 style, the move away from exception-based
error handling, and the use of strict types.
Combining Genode's recent advances of
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.05#On-target_debugging_using_the_GNU_debugger__GDB_ - on-target debugging]
with the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Goa_tool_gets_usability_improvements_and_depot-index_publishing_support - Goa SDK],
the release introduces remote debugging via Goa (Section [Debugging]). Further
topics of version 24.08 range from enhanced board support for i.MX-based
devices (Section [Improvements for NXP's i.MX family]), over the exploration
of AVX on x86 (Section [NOVA microhypervisor]), to steady improvements of
Genode's custom microkernel (Section [Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)]).
Base framework and OS-level infrastructure
##########################################
Reduced reliance on the C++ exception mechanism
===============================================
In [https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.11#New_pattern_for_C___error_handling - version 21.11],
we introduced the
[https://genode.org/documentation/genode-foundations/24.05/api/Fundamental_types.html#Exception-less_error_handling - Attempt]
utility as an alternative to exception-based error handling. While gradually
applying this pattern, in particular for newly introduced interfaces, we
observed our code becoming more rigid and concrete, leaving no condition
unconsidered. Given this added assurance, we ultimately decided to remove
the reliance on C++ exceptions from the base framework over time. The current
release takes a huge leap in this direction.
:base/id_space.h:
A new 'Id_space::apply' overload takes a second functor 'missing_fn' as
argument, which is called whenever the lookup fails. It thereby allows the
use of the 'Id_space' utility without 'Unknown_id' exceptions.
:util/xml_node.h:
The two 'Xml_node::attribute' accessors have been removed along with the
'Nonexistent_attribute' exception. Attributes are generally accessed via the
'attribute_value' method, which handles the case via a default value.
:Core RPC interfaces:
Exceptions have been entirely removed from the RPC interfaces provided by
the core component, namely 'Trace', 'Pd', 'Cpu', 'Rm', and 'Region_map'.
While touching these interfaces, we took the opportunity for modernization
and consolidation of both the interfaces and their implementations. E.g.,
core's trace service received a welcome facelift, e.g., the former use of
basic types got replaced by dedicated types.
The revised 'Region_map' interface uses an 'Attr' compound struct for
specifying arguments to the 'attach' operation, which makes the intent of
client code more obvious. The operation returns a 'Range' instead of a
'Local_addr' now. The 'Region_map::State' type got renamed to 'Fault'.
:base/child.h:
The 'Child_policy::Nonexistent_id_space' exception has been removed by
making the 'server_id_space' mandatory for each policy. The former
'Child::Process' and 'Child::Process::Loaded_executable' classes got
replaced by class functions that return failure conditions as return
values, eliminating the use of C++ exceptions by the child framework.
The overall ambition of cutting back the use of C++ exceptions is not limited
to the base framework but can be observed for critical components as well.
In particular, the NIC router received a profound rework in this respect.
Cultivation of C++20 programming style
======================================
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.05#New_tool_chain_based_on_GCC_12.3__C__20_enabled_by_default - One year ago],
we enabled C++20 as default. With the current release, we took the chance to
update the codebase according to this version of the standard.
:C++20 function template syntax:
The 'auto' keyword can be used in many places where template arguments had
to be declared manually. We updated all sources of the base framework
accordingly.
:Using 'using' instead of 'typedef':
C-style type aliases are no longer used within the framework.
:util/geometry.h:
The header has been moved from the os repository to the base repository.
'Point', 'Area', and 'Rect' have been turned into plain compound types,
making 'x', 'y', 'w', 'h', 'at', and 'area' accessible without a method
call. 'Rect' is now represented as a tuple of 'Point' and 'Area', which is
the most common form of initialization. The companion utilities have been
updated ('constexpr', eliminating out parameters) as well.
:util/color.h:
The 'Color' type has been converted from a class to a POD type by replacing
the constructors by the named create functions 'rgb', 'clamped_rgb', and
'clamped_rgba'. This enables the initialization of color values using the
'{ .r = ... }' syntax and makes the type usable in const expressions. The
change also narrows the type for the color components and alpha values to
'uint8_t'. So possible integer overflows of computed values are detected
by '-Wconversion'.
Tightened GUI-session interface
===============================
On our [https://genode.org/about/road-map - road map], we anticipated
intensive work on user-facing topics, many being related to graphical user
interfaces. While approaching these topics, we sensed that the clean
implementation of our ideas would benefit from a revisit of the framework's
existing GUI infrastructure, in particular the GUI-session interface as
provided by the nitpicker GUI server and the window manager. Note that we
barely touched this corner of the framework in the past ten years since
version
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.08#New_GUI_architecture - 14.08].
The changes are as follows.
* The 'Gui::Session::session_control' RPC function got removed because its
functionality has long been superseded by the window manager and layouter.
* The interfaces and components received a thorough coding-style update,
embracing C++20, avoiding plain pointers, using 'Attr' structs for passing
attributes, removing the notion of invalid handles/IDs, replacing basic
types by dedicated types, and removing the use of C++ exceptions.
* The out-of-RAM and out-of-caps conditions are now consistently handled by
the 'Gui::Connection', which does no longer inherit the 'Gui::Session'
interface and can thereby introduce tailored result types.
* The creation of top-level views and child views are now two distinct
operations ('view' and 'child_view').
* The access of the subsumed framebuffer and input interfaces is now
mediated by the plain public members 'Connection::framebuffer' and 'input'.
This simplifies the client-side code. E.g., '_gui.input()->pending()'
becomes '_gui.input.pending()'.
* Corner cases of view-stacking operations are now expressed as dedicated
commands. The new stacking commands are FRONT, BACK, FRONT_OF, and BEHIND_OF.
* View handles are managed as 'Id_space' and hence named view IDs now. The
allocation of view IDs has been moved from the server side to the client,
which gives clients more flexibility and reduces the surface of possible
error conditions between client and server. To ease the client-side ID
management, the 'Gui::Connection' hosts a 'view_ids' ID space for optional
use. E.g., the new 'Top_level_view' class uses this ID space for ID
allocation. This class accommodates the most typical use case of opening a
single window.
* The creation of new views accepts initial view attributes now, which
accommodate typical client use cases with less code.
_As a note of caution, this line of work will continue over the course of the_
_next release cycle. The GUI-related APIs of the framework are expected to_
_undergo further changes during that time._
Fostered consistency of naming
==============================
Within our code base, we are ardent about consistency. However, two relics
from the infancy of the project remained standing out like sore thumbs. First,
the '_drv' suffix of driver executables remained at odds with our established
[https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/conventions - style]
of naming things without artificial abbreviations. Second, the plural naming
of the _<repo>/src/drivers/_ directory nagged us by being inconsistent with
the sibling directories _test/_, _app/_, _server/_. The current release
rectifies both inconsistencies. The '_drv' suffix has been dropped and the
directory has been renamed to _driver/_.
Device drivers
##############
Linux device-driver environment (DDE)
=====================================
We last adapted Linux DDE for kernel 6.1 in May/August 2023. According to
our plan of approximately one update per year, it was time to roll up our
sleeves for the adaption to Linux 6.6 LTS and ready our driver base for
future (especially PC) platforms. With this release, we limited our efforts
to the emulation library itself as well as virt_linux and pc_linux driver
ports.
Thus, from now on, PC platforms use Linux driver sources of kernel version
6.6.47 for USB host controllers and devices, Wifi and Ethernet adapters,
Intel display, lxip TCP/IP protocols, and wireguard. Non-x86 platforms were
updated for USB devices and network protocols only, but will be adapted in
future releases step-by-step. All drivers work as drop-in-replacements of
older versions with respect to integration and configuration.
Our Wifi driver port got amended by an online quality update concerning the
currently established connection, which can be enabled by the configuration
attribute 'update_quality_interval'. With this feature, user interfaces are
enabled to reflect connection-quality changes almost instantly. Additionally,
we added support for Intel AX200/9560 wireless adapters and restored support
for Wifi devices found in Thinkpad T430 notebooks.
During this release cycle, we analyzed a noticeable network throughput drop
resp. CPU load increase when using the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/5151 - PC Ethernet driver].
We eventually traced the effect to runtime overhead originating from our DDE
memory allocator. The positive impact of a simple allocation-cache
implementation confirmed our suspicion veritable. Hence, we replaced our
custom allocator by the Linux kernel-internal SLUB allocator that is based
on page/folio allocation. The folio API is well hidden in the kernel
internals, still in flux, and offers only incomplete (resp. outdated)
documentation, which required quite a bit of research efforts reading and
understanding the kernel's implementation.
In the end, we improved our emulation implementation sufficiently and managed
to get the PC NIC driver to work robustly with gigabit performance and with
CPU load reduced by 25-40% on Intel Kaby/Tiger Lake notebooks.
Platform driver
===============
During ACPI suspend, the PCI bridges in the system may forget their PCI
configuration. Hence on resume, this configuration needs to be restored to
render all PCI devices behind the bridge usable again. With this release, we
added support to the pci_decode component to report all relevant information,
which is then picked up by the platform driver after an ACPI resume to
re-configure the used PCI bridges. This change enables the successful
restart of the Wifi driver after resume on many platforms.
Improvements for NXP's i.MX family
==================================
The current release comprises a lot of updates and additional support for the
i.MX family of devices.
First of all, we have updated all existent Linux driver ports to Linux kernel
version 6.1.20. In detail, drivers for the Freescale Ethernet Device (FEC) for
ARMv7 and ARMv8, the display management for the i.MX 8M Quad EVK and the MNT
Reform 2, as well as the SD-card Host Controller for the same two boards got
refreshed.
Alice Domage of Gapfruit AG contributed outstanding work to enable platform
support for the i.MX 8M Plus SoC and Compulab's IOT Gateway, which is based on
it. Besides clock, powering, and reset support by a platform driver specific
to this SoC, support is now available for both Ethernet cards (FEC and ST
Microelectronics' STMMAC), SD-card host controller, I2C, and GPIO.
Genode's custom kernel supports two more boards now, namely the F&S Embedded
armStone Starterkit and MNT Pocket Reform. Both are using the i.MX 8M Plus SoC
mentioned above. The support is currently limited to the very basics, and no
peripherals apart from CPU and timer are integrated yet.
For the fine-grained control of GPIO pins, release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/21.11#Pin_I_O_session_interfaces - 21.11],
introduced the pin I/O session interfaces, superseding the older 'Gpio'
session interface. So far, however, our driver for the GPIO controller as
present on all i.MX SoC's merely supported the old interface. With this
release, we introduce a pin driver implementing the favored pin I/O session
interface instead. All occurrences in packages and run-scripts under Genode's
umbrella use the new driver now, which can be found under _src/driver/pin/imx_
within the genode-imx repository. The old driver and the 'Gpio' session
interface are still existent. But now, as there is no hard dependency or
necessity for it anymore, we mark the old driver as well as the 'Gpio' session
interface as deprecated.
Finally, we moved all remaining i.MX specific parts out of Genode's main
repository into the [https://github.com/genodelabs/genode-imx - genode-imx]
repository to be consistent with our recent approach of vendor-specific
external repositories.
Libraries and applications
##########################
Qt6 application framework
=========================
With this release, we started updating the Qt application framework from Qt5
to Qt6 by adding an initial port of Qt 6.6.2, covering the _qtbase_,
_qtdeclarative_, _qtshadertools_, and _qtsvg_ modules. We are planning to
support the _qtwebengine_ module as well in the near future, which will remove
the dependency from Python 2 and provide us with a more recent Chromium engine
for the Falkon and Morph web browsers.
We also improved the Qt build process for both Qt6 and Qt5 by making sure that
Qt libraries are only built when needed and stub libraries generated from
symbol files are used otherwise.
The Qt6 port uses updated host tools, which need to be built with the
_tool/tool_chain_qt6_ script. Please note that Qt6 requires CMake version 3.19
or higher to build successfully.
Mesa version 24.0.8
===================
With release
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.05#Mesa_updated_to_version_24.0.1 - 24.05],
we updated Mesa to major version 24. During the past few months, we improved
the memory allocation and synchronization for Intel's Iris driver and as a
side effect updated Mesa to version 24.0.8.
Platforms
#########
Execution on bare hardware (base-hw)
====================================
Under the hood of Genode's custom kernel, the way how CPU-local memory is
arranged changed fundamentally. The kernel's virtual memory layout now
comprises a CPU area. Each CPU has its own slot within this area, containing
kernel stack, CPU object data resp. all CPU-local data. This change is
transparent to most Genode developers. It was motivated to ease CPU detection
and bootstrapping at run time, for kernel stack overflow detection, and for
increasing the kernel's flexibility regarding multi-core hardware.
NOVA microhypervisor
====================
The kernel received support to handle the x86 CPU FPU extension
[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions - AVX], which is a
family of SIMD instruction extensions used for optimized implementations of
mathematical algorithms, e.g., it is used in multimedia applications. In
principle, the kernel has to detect the available AVX versions, e.g., AVX,
AVX-2, AVX-512. Depending on the version, it has to save and restore
additional FPU state during thread switching. Besides the general
availability to Genode applications, the Seoul VMM has become the first user
of the feature. The VMM now announces the AVX feature to the guest VMs, so
that the guest kernel can enable it and guest user applications can utilize
it, e.g., for web browser and video encoding/decoding use-cases. The feature
got tested with the Seoul VMM on Intel and AMD systems.
Additionally, we adapted the core component to support Intel SoCs with E-Core
only CPUs, which were formerly named Intel Atom and are nowadays branded as
Intel N-Series CPUs.
Finally, the NOVA kernel now supports the freeing of vCPU related data
structures during VM destruction, got optimized to reduce resource overhead
during cross CPU IPC and improved VM MSR exit handling.
Build system and tools
######################
Improved reproducibility
========================
The demand for reproducible builds has been increasing during the past few
years. The main hindrance that makes builds unreproducible are timestamps. On
Genode, especially components that produce TAR files suffered from this
limitation, since the date of the archived data was set to the time of
archiving. To avoid this issue, we introduced a customizable global TAR_OPT in
Genode's build system that sets the date of the archived files to the date of
the epoch and the user/group to one. As a starting point, we added the TAR_OPT
to the Qt-build process while other targets will incrementally follow.
Additionally, we enabled our Rump-kernel port to be reproducible.
Goa SDK
=======
Debugging
~~~~~~~~~
After the addition of on-target debugging on Sculpt OS in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.05#On-target_debugging_using_the_GNU_debugger__GDB_ - Genode 24.05],
it was about time to equip [https://github.com/genodelabs/goa - Goa] with
debugging support as well. For this purpose, the tool received an optional
'--debug' command-line switch, which instructs Goa to consider
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#Debug_information_for_depot_binaries - dbg archives]
in its download, export and publish steps.
When provided with this switch on 'goa run', the tool also creates a
_<project-name>.gdb_ file in the project's _var/_ directory. This file contains
initialization commands for the GNU debugger (GDB) and can be passed to GDB
via the '--command' argument.
[image goa_gdb_sculpt]
The _Goa testbed_ package and preset have been updated accordingly to make use
of our debug monitor. The figure illustrates how Goa interoperates with the
Goa testbed. Sculpt's default NIC router configuration now comprises an
additional _gdb_ domain that is intended to accommodate a single client to
which the router forwards port 9999 of the _uplink_ domain. This is intended
for making the testbed's debug monitor available as a remote GDB target. Note
that these changes will become effective with the next Sculpt release in
October. In the meantime, you may cherry-pick the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/aeb42b0983143e6fe0a01f7f5316612709da1a9d - corresponding commit].
Along with debugging support, Goa also received a '--with-backtrace' switch and
a 'backtrace' command. The former instructs the tool to preserve frame-pointer
information by supplying the '-fno-omit-frame-pointer' flag to GCC. The
'goa backtrace' command is a shortcut for 'goa run --debug --with-backtrace'
that additionally passes the log output to our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.02#Convenient_parsing_of_backtraces - backtrace tool].
For detailed instructions, please refer to the corresponding
[https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2024-07-31-goa-gdb - Genodians article].
Meson build system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Projects like Qemu, glib, and Mesa have switched to the Python-based
[https://mesonbuild.com - Meson] build system. Mesa, for example, produces a
large number of generated C/C++ files using Meson features. In order to ease
future porting effort of Meson-based projects to Genode, we have added basic
support for this build system to Goa.
A Meson project can be built and executed like any other Goa-supported build
system with the addition that there can be a _meson_args_ file (analogously to
_cmake_args_ for CMake) where additional arguments can be passed to the meson
command. Otherwise, Goa will look for a _meson.build_ file in the _src_
directory, which identifies the project's build system as Meson.
As a simple test, you can check out the _hello_meson_ example in the _examples_
directory of Goa.
At the current stage, only binary targets for the x86_64 architecture are
supported by Goa/Meson. Shared libraries and ARM support will be addressed
next.
Rust & Cargo
~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Rust 1.77 onward, the binary distribution of the _std_ library
('x86_64-unknown-freebsd') assumes that the underlying OS kernel supports
thread-local storage via the FS segment register on x86. As Genode does not
provide a TLS area via FS, TLS accesses by the library would end up in invalid
memory, which renders the binary version of the std library unusable on
Genode. In response, we have implemented a custom Genode target profile for
Rust, which allows us to still leverage the FreeBSD port of Rust's standard
library while using the _emulated_ TLS model. In order to compile the parts of
the std library used by an application for the custom profile, we have moved
to using a _nightly_ Rust tool chain. For detailed instructions for setting up
the tool chain, head over to the

Release notes for the Genode OS Framework 24.11
===============================================
Genode Labs
During the discussion of this year's road-map roughly one year ago, the
usability concerns of Sculpt OS stood out.
Besides suspend/resume, which we addressed
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.05#Suspend_resume_infrastructure - earlier this year],
multi-monitor support ranked highest on the list of desires. We are more than
happy to wrap up the year with the realization of this feature.
Section [Multi-monitor support] presents the many facets and outcomes of this
intensive line of work.
Over the course of 2024, our Goa SDK has received tremendous advances, which
make the development, porting, debugging, and publishing of software for
Genode - and Sculpt OS in particular - a breeze.
So far however, the learning curve for getting started remained rather steep
because the underlying concepts largely deviate from the beaten tracks known
from traditional operating systems. Even though there is plenty of
documentation, it is rather scattered and overwhelming.
All the more happy we are to announce that the current release is accompanied
by a new book "Genode Applications" that can be downloaded for free and
provides a smooth gateway for application developers into the world of Genode
(Section [New "Genode Applications" book]).
Regarding hardware-related technical topics, the release focuses on the
ARM-based i.MX SoC family, taking our ambition to run Sculpt OS on the MNT
Pocket Reform laptop as guiding theme. Section [Device drivers and platforms]
covers our driver and platform-related work in detail.
New "Genode Applications" book
##############################
Complementary to our _Genode Foundations_ and _Genode Platforms_ books, we have
been working on a new book that concentrates on application development.
_Genode Applications_ centers on the Goa SDK that we introduced with
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/19.11#New_tooling_for_bridging_existing_build_systems_with_Genode - Genode 19.11]
and which has seen significant improvements over the past year
([https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Goa_tool_gets_usability_improvements_and_depot-index_publishing_support - 23.08],
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.02#Sculpt_OS_as_remote_test_target_for_the_Goa_SDK - 24.02],

The book intends to provide a beginner-friendly starting point for application
development and porting for Genode and Sculpt OS in particular. It starts off
with a getting-started tutorial for the Goa tool, and further recapitulates
Genode's architecture and a subset of its libraries, components, and
conventions such as the C runtime, VFS, NIC router, and package management.
With these essentials in place, the book is topped off with instructions for
application debugging and a collection of advanced tutorials.
Aligned with the release of Sculpt 24.10, we updated the Goa tool with the
corresponding depot archive versions. Furthermore, the Sculpt-integrated and
updated _Goa testbed_ preset is now prepared for remote debugging.

Multi-monitor support
#####################
Among the users of the Genode-based Sculpt OS, the flexible use of multiple
monitors was certainly the most longed-after desire raised during our public
road-map discussion roughly one year ago. We quickly identified that a
profound solution cannot focus on piecemeal extensions of individual
components but must embrace an architectural step forward. The step turned
out being quite a leap.
In fact, besides reconsidering the roles of display and input drivers in
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/20.08#The_GUI_stack__restacked - version 20.08],
the GUI stack has remained largely unchanged since
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/14.08#New_GUI_architecture - version 14.08].
So we took our multi-monitor ambitions as welcome opportunity to incorporate
our experiences of the past ten years into a new design for the next ten
years.
Tickless GUI server and display drivers
=======================================
Up to now, the nitpicker GUI server as well as the display drivers used to
operate in a strictly periodic fashion. At a rate of 10 milliseconds, the GUI
server would route input events to the designated GUI clients and flush
graphical changes of the GUI clients to the display driver.
This simple mode of execution has benefits such as the natural ability of
batching input events and the robustness of the GUI server against overload
situations. However, in Sculpt OS, we observed that the fixed rate induces
little but constant load into an otherwise idle system, rendering
energy-saving regimes of modern CPUs less effective than they could be.
This problem would become amplified in the presence of multiple output channels
operating at independent frame rates. Moreover, with panel self-refresh
support of recent Intel graphics devices, the notion of a fixed continuous
frame rate has become antiquated.
Hence, it was time to move to a tickless GUI-server design where the GUI
server acts as a mere broker between events triggered by applications (e.g.,
pushing pixels) and drivers (e.g., occurrence of input, scanout to a display).
Depending on the behavior of its clients (GUI applications and drivers alike),
the GUI server notifies the affected parties about events of interest but
does not assert an active role.
For example, if a display driver does not observe any changed pixels for 50
ms, it goes to sleep. Once an application updates pixels affecting a display,
the GUI server wakes up the respective display driver, which then polls the
pixels at a driver-defined frame rate until observing when the pixels remain
static for 50 ms. Vice versa, the point in time when a display driver requests
updated pixels is reflected as a sync event to GUI applications visible on
that display, enabling such applications to synchronize their output to the
frame rate of the driver. The GUI server thereby asserts the role of steering
the sleep cycles of drivers and applications. Unless anything happens on
screen, neither the GUI server nor the display driver are active. When two
applications are visible on distinct monitors, the change of one application
does not induce any activity regarding the unrelated display. This allows for
scaling up the number of monitors without increasing the idle CPU load.
This change implies that the former practice of using sync signals as a
time source for application-side animation timing is no longer viable.
Sync signals occur only when a driver is active after all. GUI applications
may best use sync signals for redraw scheduling but need to use a real time
source as basis for calculating the progress of animations.
Paving the ground for tearing-free motion
=========================================
Tearing artifacts during animations are rightfully frowned upon. It goes
without saying that we strive to attain tearing-free motion in Genode. Two
preconditions must be met. First, the GUI server must be able to get hold
of a _consistent_ picture at any time. Second, the flushing of the picture
to the display hardware must be timed with _vsync_ of the physical display.
Up to now, the GUI stack was unable to meet the first precondition by design.
If the picture is composed of multiple clients, the visual representation of
each client must be present in a consistent state.
The textures used as input of the compositing of the final picture are buffers
shared between server and client. Even though clients traditionally employ
double-buffering to hide intermediate drawing states, the final back-to-front
copy into the shared buffer violated the consistency of the buffer during
the client-side copy operation - when looking at the buffer from the server
side. To overcome this deficiency, we have now equipped the GUI server with
atomic blitting and panning operations, which support atomic updates in two
fashions.
_Atomic back-to-front blitting_ allows GUI clients that partially update their
user interface - like regular application dialogs - to implement double
buffering by placing both the back buffer and front buffer within the GUI
session's shared buffer and configuring a view that shows only the front
buffer. The new blit operation ('Framebuffer::Session::blit') allows the client
to atomically flush pixels from the back buffer to the front buffer.
_Atomic buffer flipping_ allows GUI clients that always update all pixels -
like a media player or a game - to leverage panning
('Framebuffer::Session::panning') to atomically redirect the displayed pixels to
a different portion of the GUI session's shared buffer without any copy
operation needed. The buffer contains two frames, the displayed one and the
next one. Once the next frame is complete, the client changes the panning
position to the portion containing the next frame.
Almost all GUI clients of the Genode OS framework have been updated to use
these new facilities.
The vsync timing as the second precondition for tearing-free motion lies in
the hands of the display driver, which can in principle capture pixel updates
from the GUI server driven by vsync interrupts. In the presence of multiple
monitors with different vsync rates, a GUI client may deliberately select
a synchronization source ('Framebuffer::Session::sync_source'). That said,
even though the interfaces are in place, vsync timing is not yet provided by
the current display drivers.
Mirrored and panoramic monitor setups
=====================================
A display driver interacts with the nitpicker GUI server as a capture client.
One can think of a display driver as a screen-capturing application.
Up until now, the nitpicker GUI server handed out the same picture to each
capture client. So each client obtained a mirror of the same picture. By
subjecting each client to a policy defining a window within a larger panorama,
a driver creating one capture session per monitor becomes able to display the
larger panorama spanning the connected displays. The assignment of capture
clients to different parts of the panorama follows Genode's established
label-based policy-selection approach as explained in the
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/os/src/server/nitpicker/README - documentation]
of the nitpicker GUI server.
Special care has been taken to ensure that the pointer is always visible. It
cannot be moved to any area that is not captured. Should the only capture
client displaying the pointer disappear, the pointer is warped to the center
of (any) remaining capture client.
A mirrored monitor setup can in principle be attained by placing multiple
capture clients at the same part of nitpicker's panorama. However, there is
a better way: Our Intel display-driver component supports both discrete and
merged output channels. The driver's configuration subsumes all connectors
listed within a '<merge>' node as a single encompassing capture session at the
GUI server. The mirroring of the picture is done by the hardware. Each
connector declared outside the '<merge>' node is handled as a discrete capture
session labeled after the corresponding connector. The driver's
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/pc/src/driver/framebuffer/intel/pc/README - documentation]
describes the configuration in detail.
Sculpt OS integration
=====================
All the changes described above are featured in the recently released
Sculpt OS version 24.10, which gives the user the ability to attain mirrored
or panoramic monitor setups or a combination thereof by the means of manual
configuration or by using interactive controls.
[image sculpt_24_10_intel_fb]
You can find the multi-monitor use of Sculpt OS covered by the
[https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-24-10#Multi-monitor_support - documentation].
Revised inter-component interfaces
==================================
Strict resource partitioning between GUI clients
------------------------------------------------
Even though Genode gives server components the opportunity to strictly operate
on client-provided resources only, the two prominent GUI servers - nitpicker
and the window manager (wm) - did not leverage these mechanisms to full
extent. In particular the wm eschewed strict resource accounting by paying out
of its own pocket. This deficiency has been rectified by the current release,
thereby making the GUI stack much more robust against potential resource
denial-of-service issues. Both the nitpicker GUI server and the window manager
now account all allocations to the resource budgets of the respective clients.
This change has the effect that GUI clients must now be equipped with the
actual cap and RAM quotas needed.
Note that not all central parts of the GUI stack operate on client-provided
resources. In particular, a window decorator is a mere client of the window
manager despite playing a role transcending multiple applications. As the
costs needed for the decorations depend on the number of applications present
on screen, the resources of the decorator must be dimensioned with a sensible
upper bound. Fortunately, however, as the decorator is a plain client of the
window manager, it can be restarted, replaced, and upgraded without affecting
any application.
Structured mode information for applications
--------------------------------------------
Up to now, GUI clients were able to request mode information via a plain
RPC call that returned the dimensions and color depth of the display.
Multi-monitor setups call for more flexibility, which prompted us to
replace the mode information by XML-structured information delivered as
an 'info' dataspace. This is in line with how meta information is handled
in other modern session interfaces like the platform or USB sessions.
The new representation gives us room to annotate information that could
previously not be exposed to GUI clients, in particular:
* The total panorama dimensions.
* Captured areas within the panorama, which can be used by multi-monitor
aware GUI clients as intelligence for placing GUI views.
* DPI information carried by 'width_mm' and 'height_mm' attributes.
This information is defined by the display driver and passed to the GUI
server as 'Capture::Connection::buffer' argument.
* The closed state of a window interactively closed by the user.
Note that the window manager (wm) virtualizes the information of the nitpicker
GUI server. Instead of exposing nitpicker's panorama to its clients, the wm
reports the logical screen hosting the client's window as panorama and the
window size as a single captured rectangle within the panorama.
Mouse grabbing
--------------
Since the inception of the nitpicker GUI server, its clients observed absolute
pointer positions only. The GUI server unconditionally translated relative
mouse-motion events to absolute motion events.
To accommodate applications like games or a VM emulating a relative pointer
device, we have now extended the GUI server(s) with the ability to selectively
expose relative motion events while locking the absolute pointer position.
This is usually called pointer grabbing. It goes without saying that the user
must always retain a way to forcefully reassert control over the pointer
without the cooperation of the application.
The solution is the enhancement of the 'Input::Session' interface by a new RPC
function that allows a client to request exclusive input. The nitpicker GUI
server grants this request if the application owns the focus. In scenarios
using the window manager (wm), the focus is always defined by the wm, which
happens to intercept all input sessions of GUI applications. Hence, the wm is
in the natural position of arbitrating the grabbing/ungrabbing of the pointer.
For each GUI client, the wm records whether the client is interested in
exclusive input but does not forward this request to nitpicker. Only if a GUI
client receives the focus and has requested exclusive input, the wm enables
exclusive input for this client at nitpicker when observing a mouse click on
the application window. Whenever the user presses the global wm key (super),
the wm forcefully releases the exclusive input at nitpicker until the user
clicks into the client window the next time.
Furthermore, an application may enable exclusive input transiently during a
key sequence, e.g., when dragging the mouse while holding the mouse button.
Transient exclusive input is revoked as soon as the last button/key is
released. It thereby would in principle allow for GUI controls like knobs to
lock the pointer position while the user adjusts the value by moving the mouse
while the mouse button is held. So the pointer retains its original position
at the knob.
While operating in exclusive input mode, there is no useful notion of an
absolute pointer position at the nitpicker GUI server. Hence, nitpicker hides
GUI domains that use the pointer position as coordinate origin. Thereby, the
mouse cursor automatically disappears while the pointer is grabbed.
Current state and ongoing work
==============================
All the advances described above are in full effect in the recently released
version 24.10 of [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt OS]. All
components hosted in Genode's main and world repositories have been updated
accordingly, including Genode-specific components like the widget toolkit
used by the administrative user interface of Sculpt OS, window decorators,
over Qt5 and Qt6, to SDL and SDL2.
[image multiple_monitors]
Current work is underway to implement multi-monitor window management and to
make multiple monitors seamlessly available to guest OSes hosted in VirtualBox.
Furthermore, the Intel display driver is currently getting equipped with the
ability to use vsync interrupts for driving the interaction with the GUI
server, taking the final step to attain tearing-free motion.
Device drivers and platforms
############################
Linux device-driver environment (DDE)
=====================================
With our
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.08#Linux_device-driver_environment__DDE_ - recent]
update of the DDE Linux kernel to version 6.6 for PC platforms and as a
prerequisite to support the MNT Pocket Reform, we have adapted all drivers for
the i.MX5/6/7/8 platforms to Linux kernel version 6.6.47. The list of drivers
includes Wifi, NIC, display, GPU, USB and SD-card.
MNT Pocket Reform
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The [https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-pocket-reform - MNT Pocket Reform] is
a Mini Laptop by MNT aiming to be modular, upgradable, and repairable while
being assembled completely using open-source hardware. Being modular implies
that a range of CPU modules is available for the MNT Pocket. Some of these
chips, like the Rockchip based modules, are not officially supported by
Genode, yet. But there is a choice of an i.MX8MP based module available which
fits nicely into Genode's i.MX infrastructure.
Genode already supports the MNT Reform 2 i.MX8MQ based
[https://genodians.org/skalk/2020-06-29-mnt-reform - laptop]. So an update from
MQ to MP doesn't sound like a big issue because only one letter changed,
right? It turns out that there are more changes to the platform than mere
adjustments of I/O resources and interrupt numbers. Additionally, the MNT
Reform team offers quite a large patch set for each supported Linux kernel
version. Luckily there is
[https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/tree/main/linux/patches6.6?ref_type=heads - one]
for our just updated Linux 6.6 kernel. With this patch set, we were able to
produce a Linux source tree (imx_linux) that we now take as basis for driver
development on Genode. Note that these Linux kernel sources are shared by all
supported i.MX platforms. Of course, additional patch series were necessary to
include device-tree sources from other vendor kernels, for instance from
Compulab.
With the development environment in place and after putting lots of effort in,
we ultimately achieved initial Genode support for the MNT Pocket Reform with
Genode 24.11.
On the device-driver side of things, we did not have to port lots of new
drivers but were able to extend drivers already available for the i.MX8MQ
platform. In particular these drivers are for the wired network card, USB host
controller, display, and SD card.
For the wireless network device that is found on the i.MX8MP SoM in the MNT
Pocket Reform, we needed to port a new driver. It has a Qualcomm QCA9377
chipset and is attached via SDIO. Unfortunately the available _ath10k_ driver
in the vanilla kernel does not work properly with such a device and therefore
is also not used in the regular Linux kernel for the MNT Pocket Reform. A
slightly adapted external QCACLD2 reference driver is used instead. So we
followed suit by incorporating this particular driver in our _imx_linux_
source tree as well.
[image sculpt_mnt_pocket]
Sculpt OS running on the MNT Pocket Reform
Being the initial enablement, there are still some limitations.
For example, the display of the MNT Pocket is physically
[https://mntre.com/documentation/pocket-reform-handbook.pdf - rotated] by 90
degrees. So, we had to find a way to accommodate for that. Unfortunately,
there seems to be no hardware support other than using the GPU to perform
a fast rotation. With GPU support still missing on this system, we had to
resort to perform the rotation in software on the CPU, which is obviously
far from optimal.
Those early inefficiencies notwithstanding, Sculpt OS has become able to run
on the MNT Pocket Reform. We will provide a preview image that exercises the
available features soon.
Platform driver for i.MX 8M Plus
================================
While enabling support for the MNT Pocket Reform (Section [MNT Pocket Reform]),
it was necessary to adjust the i.MX8MP specific platform driver, which was
originally introduced in the previous
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/24.08#Improvements_for_NXP_s_i.MX_family - release 24.08]
to drive the Compulab i.MX 8M Plus IOT Gateway.
Some of the I/O pin configurations necessary to set up the SoC properly are
statically compiled into this driver because they do not change at runtime.
However, the pin configuration is specific to the actual board. Therefore, the
i.MX8MP platform driver now needs to distinguish between different boards (IOT
Gateway and MNT Pocket) by evaluating the 'platform_info' ROM provided by
core.
Moreover, while working on different drivers, we detected a few missing clocks
that were added to the platform driver. It turned out that some clocks that we
initially turned off to save energy, have to be enabled to ensure the
liveliness of the ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF) and thereby the platform. Also,
we had to adapt the communication in between ATF and our platform driver to
control power-domains. The first version of the i.MX8MP platform driver shared
the ATF power-domains protocol with the i.MX8MQ version. However, the
power-domain enumerations of the different firmwares varies also and we
adapted that.
Finally, the watchdog hardware is now served by the platform driver in a
recurrent way. Originally our driver used the watchdog only to implement reset
functionality. But in case of the MNT Pocket Reform, the watchdog hardware is
already armed by the bootloader. Therefore, it needs to get served in time, to
prevent the system from rebooting. As a consequence, the platform driver is
mandatory on this platform if it needs to run longer than a minute.
Wifi management rework
======================
Our management interface in the wifi driver served us well over the years
and concealed the underlying complexity of the wireless stack. At the same
time it gained some complexity itself to satisfy a variety of use-cases.
Thus, we took the past release cycle as opportunity to rework the management
layer to reduce its complexity by streamlining the interaction between
various parts, like the manager layer itself, 'wpa_supplicant' as well as
the device driver in order to provide a sound foundation for future
adaptions.
Included is also an update of the 'wpa_supplicant' to version 2.11.
The following segments detail the changes made to the configuration options as
they were altered quite a bit to no longer mix different tasks (e.g. joining a
network and scanning for hidden networks) while removing obsolete options.
At the top-level '<wifi_config>' node, the following alterations were made:
* The 'log_level' attribute was added and configures the supplicant's
verbosity. Valid values correspond to levels used by the supplicant
and are as follows: 'excessive', 'msgdump', 'debug', 'info', 'warning',
and 'error'. The default value is 'error' and configures the least
amount of verbosity. This option was introduced to ease the investigation
of connectivity issues.
* The 'bgscan' attribute may be used to configure the way the
supplicant performs background-scanning to steer or rather optimize
roaming decision within the same network. The default value is set
to 'simple:30:-70:600'. The attribute is forwarded unmodified to the WPA
supplicant and thus provides the syntax supported by the supplicant
implementation. It can be disabled by specifying an empty value, e.g.
'bgscan=""'.
* The 'connected_scan_interval' attribute was removed as this functionality
is now covered by background scanning.
* The 'verbose_state' attribute was removed altogether and similar
functionality is now covered by the 'verbose' attribute.
The network management received the following changes:
* Every configured network, denoted by a '<network>' node, is now implicitly
considered an option for joining. The 'auto_connect' attribute was
removed and a '<network>' node must be renamed or removed to deactivate
automatic connection establishment.
* The intent to scan for a hidden network is now managed by the newly
introduced '<explicit_scan>' node that like the '<network>' node has
an 'ssid' attribute. If the specified SSID is valid, it is incorporated
into the scan request to actively probe for this network. As the node
requests explicit scanning only, a corresponding '<network>' node is
required to actually connect to the hidden network.
The 'explicit_scan' attribute of the '<network>' node has been removed.
The following exemplary configuration shows how to configure the driver
for attempting to join two different networks where one of them is hidden.
The initial scan interval is set 10 seconds and the signal quality will be
updated every 30 seconds while connected to a network.
!<wifi_config scan_interval="10" update_quality_interval="30">
! <explicit_scan ssid="Skynet"/>
! <network ssid="Zero" protection="WPA2" passphrase="allyourbase"/>
! <network ssid="Skynet" protection="WPA3" passphrase="illbeback"/>
!</wifi_config>
For more information please consult the driver's
[https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/dde_linux/src/driver/wifi/README - documentation]
that now features a best-practices section explaining how the driver should be
operated at best, and highlights the difference between a managed (as used in
Sculpt OS) and a user-generated configuration.
Audio driver updated to OpenBSD 7.6
===================================
With this release, we updated our OpenBSD-based audio driver to a more recent
revision that correlates to version 7.6. It supports newer devices, e.g. Alder
Lake-N, and includes a fix for using message-signaled interrupts (MSI) with
HDA devices as found in AMD-based systems.
AVX and hardware-based AES in virtual machines
==============================================
The current release adds support for requesting and transferring the AVX FPU
state via Genode's VM-session interface. With this prerequisite fulfilled, we
enabled the announcement of the AVX feature to guest VMs in our port of
VirtualBox6.
Additionally, we enabled the announcement of AES and RDRAND CPU features to
guest VMs to further improve the utilization of the hardware.
Build system and tools
######################
Extended depot-tool safeguards
------------------------------
When using the run tool's '--depot-auto-update' feature while switching
between different git topic branches with committed recipe hashes, a binary
archive present in the depot may accidentally not match its ingredients
because the depot/build tool's 'REBUILD=' mode - as used by the depot
auto-update mechanism - merely looks at the archive versions. This situation
is arguably rare. But when it occurs, its reach and effects are hard to
predict. To rule out this corner case early, the depot/build tool has now been
extended by recording the hashes of the ingredients of binary archives. When
skipping a rebuild because the desired version presumably already exists as a
binary archive, the recorded hashes are compared to the current state of the
ingredients (src and api archives). Thereby inconsistencies are promptly
reported to the user.
Users of the depot tool will notice .hash files appearing alongside src and
api archives. Those files contain the hash value of the content of the
respective archive. Each binary archive built is now also accompanied by
a .hash file, which contains a list of hash values of the ingredients that went
into the binary archive. Thanks to these .hash files, the consistency between
binaries and their ingredients can be checked quickly.
_As a note of caution, when switching to the Genode 24.11 with existing depot,_
_one will possibly need to remove existing depot archives (as listed by the_
_diagnostic messages) because the existing archives are not accompanied by_
_.hash files yet._

Herein, we lay out our plans for evolving Genode. Progress in addition to this

[https://genode.org/about/challenges - Challenges] page collects some of our
ideas to advance Genode in various further directions.
The road map is not fixed. If there is commercial interest of pushing the
Genode technology to a certain direction, we are willing to revisit our plans.
Review of 2019
Review of 2023
##############
For the road map 2019, we picked "bridging worlds" as our guiding theme:
(1) Lowering the friction when combining existing software with Genode,
(2) Fostering interoperability with widely used protocols and APIs, and
(3) Making Genode easier to approach and generally more practical.
The overarching theme of the road map in 2023 was the conquering of advanced
platform aspects beyond mere functionality, speaking of temperature sensing,
frequency control, battery monitoring, power management, and suspend/resume.
We aimed at "Rocking the platforms we support!".
The achievements made are best illustrated by the example of the Gen12
Framework laptop. At the beginning of 2023, Sculpt OS was in principle working
on this hardware, but with compromises that spoiled the user experience: fan
noise, an erratic touchpad (using the firmware's PS/2 emulation), Fn key
having no effect, strange issues when re-plugging an external display, and no
indication of the battery state. By the end of 2023, not only were all these
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-11-03-sculpt-os#Framework_laptop - rough edges gone]
but we even gained the ability to exercise
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#PC_power__frequency__temperature_sensing_and_control - precise control]
over the machine's performance/frequency/temperature/power characteristics
using an interactive GUI. It is fair to say that Genode advanced beyond the
state of "working" and has entered the territory of "rocking". That said, not
all lines of platform work such as suspend/resume are wrapped up yet.
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.
Besides PC hardware, we put much emphasis on the PinePhone as a reference device
for Genode on the phone. As one highlight of 2023, we got the
[https://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-05-11-sculpt-os#Mobile_Sculpt_OS_on_the_PinePhone - mobile version of Sculpt OS]
into the hands of a pilot group of users who provided instructive
feedback to us. The system-update mechanism that Sculpt OS gained in April has
been a game changer for such scenarios as it reduces the effort and risk of
test-driving experimental versions to almost zero.
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.
At the beginning of 2023, we declared our ambition to run Sculpt OS on
Genode's custom (base-hw) microkernel as alternative to the time-tested NOVA
kernel. At that time, two showstoppers remained, namely
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#Kernel-agnostic_DMA_protection - DMA protection] and
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.11#Modernized_virtualization_interface - virtualization]
support. Both of these deeply technical topics got covered over
the course of the year. Refinements, optimizations, and real-world testing
notwithstanding, we are happy to be well on track towards our goal.
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.
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.
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.
Besides working on Genode's actual operating-system code, we fully embraced
developer tooling as focus area. In 2023, the
[https://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/23.08#Goa_tool_gets_usability_improvements_and_depot-index_publishing_support - Goa SDK]
for streamlining the application development for Genode has reached the level
of maturity and flexibility that allowed us to port software stacks as
sophisticated as
[https://genodians.org/jws/2023-11-16-sip-client-for-genode - Linphone]
to Genode. Not only for porting but also for developing applications
and libraries, the tool has become a go-to solution. As another noteworthy
developer-tooling topic, we tirelessly followed our vision of on-target
debugging on Sculpt OS. Specifically, we pursued the idea to implement a
debugging instrument as a specialized version of init augmented with the GDB
protocol. Sculpt OS 23.10 has this

already built-in, albeit it is not utilized yet.
2020 - Dwarfing the barrier of entry
####################################
2024 - Sculpt OS 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.
During our annual road-map discussion on Genode's
[https://genode.org/community/mailing-lists - mailing list], it became
apparent that many of us developers long for harvesting user-visible rewards
after concentrating so intensively on topics below the surface,
eagerly rallying behind the theme "Sculpt OS usability" for 2024.
:User friendliness of Sculpt OS:
Of the many aspects of usability, the following stood out during the
discussion: multi-monitor support, desktop utilities (file management,
configuration dialogs, drag'n'drop), improved discoverability (on-target docs),
suspend/resume, and profound support for touchscreens and touchpads.
Accommodating those topics will require us to rethink several parts of the GUI
stack, from the drivers over the low-level GUI server, window management, up
to the application and widget-toolkit level.
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.
A second recurring interest is the further consolidation of Genode's driver
landscape towards fully pluggable drivers, the consistent use of drivers
ported from up-to-date Linux kernels, and clear-cut ACPI support.
:Perception of high quality:
As continuations of 2023, the vision of Sculpt OS on Genode's custom kernel
will come to fruition, and we will bring our goal of easy-to-use on-target
debugging to completion.
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.
Since we added
[https://genodians.org/atopia/2023-10-26-a-first-complex-rust-package - Rust support]
to the Goa tool mid of 2023, we have been looking for natural synergies
between Rust-based projects and Genode. During the road-map discussion, we
identified the use of Rust-based components as building blocks for a
multi-component e-mail client a tempting opportunity. Throughout the year, we
plan to take an (open-ended) e-mail scenario as motivator for combining our
interests in Sculpt usability, Goa-based development work flows, and Rust.
: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.
Device-wise, we will continue our engagement with the PinePhone, look forward
to the upcoming MNT PocketReform, and take on the latest Intel-based PC
platforms. We also want to explore the use of Sculpt OS on form factors like
the ZimaBlade single-board server (headless operation) or the StarLite tablet
(touch-based UI).
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.
