Fwd: problem with routing of reports/ROMs inside runtime

Yes, this is the problem. It uses an Expanding_reporter inside the method that creates the configuration. Many thanks, Pirmin

problem with routing of reports/ROMs inside runtime
by Pirmin Duss 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Hello list While testing the configuration update for the floating_window_layouter I encountered a problem. Inside the signal handler for the config update the configuration is always "<empty/>". In the log I see that layout_controller writes the report "layout_controller -> layouter_config" and that the layouter receives a signal. But after a config.update() the content of config.xml() is always empty. <config> ... <default-route> <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service> </default-route> ... <start name="report_rom"> <resource name="RAM" quantum="4M"/> <provides> <service name="Report"/> <service name="ROM"/> </provides> <config verbose="yes"> <policy label="layouter -> window_list" report="wm -> window_list"/> <policy label="layouter -> focus_request" report="wm -> focus_request"/> ... <policy label="layouter -> config" report="layout_controller -> layouter_config"/> </config> </start> ... <start name="layout_controller"> <resource name="RAM" quantum="4M"/> <route> <service name="Report" label="layouter_config"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service> </route> </start> ... <start name="layouter"> <binary name="floating_window_layouter"/> <resource name="RAM" quantum="4M"/> <route> <service name="ROM" label="config"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <service name="ROM" label="decorator_margins"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <service name="ROM" label="focus_request"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <service name="ROM" label="hover"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <service name="ROM" label="window_list"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <service name="Report"> <child name="report_rom"/> </service> <any-service> <child name="wm"/> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service> </route> </start> ... </config> I also have tried to change the route and the policy as follows: <service name="ROM" label="config"> <child name="report_rom" label="layouter_config"/> </service> <policy label="layouter -> layouter_config" report="layout_controller -> layouter_config"/> But this also didn't help. LOG: [runtime -> wm -> layouter] config at startup: <empty/> [runtime -> wm -> report_rom] report 'layout_controller -> layouter_config' [runtime -> wm -> report_rom] <config> [runtime -> wm -> report_rom] ... [runtime -> wm -> report_rom] </config> [runtime -> wm -> layouter] config update signal [runtime -> wm -> layouter] new config: <empty/> Does anybody see the error, that my colleague an I weren't able to find? Best regards Pirmin

Doubts regarding IRQ capabilities in L4 fiasco and genode
by Harsha Sharma 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Dear Genode Community, I have some doubts regarding handling IRQ capabilities in L4 fiasco microkernel and Genode. L4 kernel maps IRQs to IRQ kernel objects which are created using l4_factory_create_irq using factory object. In genode, we attach IRQ capabilites to entrypoint thread with l4_irq_attach in core component. Also, signal handler session returns signal context capabilities from core component and l4_irq_attach is also called in signal_source_client. What is the difference between signal context capabilities and IRQ capabilities? (Or IRQ capabilities are kernel space capabilities and signal context capabilities are genode cap map capabilities) Is it possible to attach entrypoint thread to IRQ object capability outside of core component ? Actually, I'm working on checkpoint/restore project in genode and L4 fiasco. And comparing the kernel cap space before checkpoint and restoring state, we find out that IRQ kernel object capabilities are not same. Signal context capabilities are checkpointed and restored correctly, but problem is (most probably), that while restoring, we don't attach it to entrypoint thread. One approach is to intercept, IRQ session and then attaching irq capability to entrypoint thread capability in restoring process. Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere and any suggestions on above approach will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

update config of floating_window-layouter at runtime
by Pirmin Duss 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Hello list We would like to change the configuration of the floating_window_layouter while it is running (change key shortcuts, set policies for some windows (only for newly created ones)). Unfortunately it only reads the configuration at startup. Is there a specific reason, why this is so, or is it only because there was no requirement for this? Otherwise I would volunteer to implement the corresponding changes and test them. best regards Pirmin

BUILD TOOLCHAIN FOR ARM
by athul vincent 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

HI, I wanted to build the tool chain for arm processor and to set up genode by qemu emulator. But when i build the genode tool chain for arm..it is asking for missing tools. athul@athul-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~/genode/tool$ ./tool_chain Need to have GNAT installed and the GNAT version must match the GCC version (found GCC 7). tool_chain:155: *** Please install missing tools.. Stop. athul@athul-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~/genode/tool$ I have installed the same versions for gcc and gnat. Can you help me?

I forgot to sent this to the list for everyone, not just the spooks who tapped the line ;-) On 06/21/2018 01:51 PM, Norman Feske wrote: > Hi Guido, > >>> thanks for the report and the log.

I ran it three times just to make sure, both in usb2 and usb3 sockets. All good. Other news: 1. I noticed that the debian iso-download on this 06-21 image was jittery, stopping the now-counter for a second every few MBs. Is that an effect of these patches? 2. With the old (sculpt-tc) image, the debian download sometimes hang with what looked like a filesystem lockup. I could not save the config/deploy, nor exit vim. Other processes seemed unaffected. Is that lockup to be expected from the old code? It could also have been a memory error I encountered with memtest. But that was transient. I could not pinpoint it to a single DIMM, nor did it occur any time after that. Perhaps this iron is getting old and flaky. Anyway, thanks for the patch. I've attached the log. Cheers, Guido.

My experience with the official release of Sculpt TC
by Guido Witmond 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hi Genodians, I tried this version too. It has some visual differences: - the network-section has these buttons: Off, Local, Wired. While the 18.05 version had Off, Wired, Wifi. There is no mention of Local in the Sculpt article. The Expand option of the GENODE-partition hang at first with an error: [runtime -> usb-1-2.part_blk] Error: Block-session creation failed (ram_quota=4208640, cap_quota=5, tx_buf_size=4194304, label="") [runtime -> usb-1-2.part_blk] Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Service_denied' When I plugged in a second USB-stick, the resize proces restarted and delivered a bootable resized stick. In case you're interested, I attached the LOG of that session. Cheers, Guido.

usage of lxip
by Johannes Kliemann 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hi all, after noticing that lwip is not fulfilling my requirements I tried to use lxip. Yet I'm not sure how to use it correctly. Just replacing lwip with lxip yields multiple errors: > [init -> test-tcp_echo_server] Error: no plugin found for socket() > [init -> test-tcp_echo_server] Error: Failed to open socket: -1 > [init -> test-tcp_echo_server] Error: no plugin found for bind(-1) > [init -> test-tcp_echo_server] Error: Failed to bind: -1 > [init -> test-tcp_echo_server] Error: no plugin found for listen(-1) I looked into the lxip_udp_echo but I can't find anything that is special to lxip and that could make a difference. So I cannot see where this plugin (what plugin?) is missing and how I could include it. Regards, Johannes
