What's new in QNX SDP?

Component Feature Details
Kernel Configuration of number of channels for message handling The new procnto option -w allows you to specify the number of channels over which it handles messages from user processes.
Kernel CPU On/Off Lining Improvements and bug fixes have been made related to offlining/onlining CPUs at runtime.
Kernel Process Introspection API The new introspection API (IAPI) allows the collection of system information and process inspection without using the /proc filesystem.
Kernel SSBS (Speculative Store Bypass Safe) SSBS (Speculative Store Bypass Safe) is a processor state flag that disables speculative store bypass to mitigate certain speculative execution vulnerabilities.
Kernel Container Kernel Changes Kernel changes have been introduced to support QNX Containers, providing the underlying mechanisms required for container isolation, resource management, and execution.
Kernel In-kernel Pipes In-kernel pipes have been introduced as a kernel-level data transfer mechanism for efficient communication within the kernel. They support extended message types and configurable I/O behavior, while maintaining compatibility with existing POSIX pipe functionality.
Kernel Spectre v2 Mitigation​ Spectre v2 mitigation introduces hardware and software protections to prevent speculative execution attacks from exposing sensitive data.
Kernel Deferred System RAM Deferred System RAM (_MEM_PMEM_ADD) now allows the system to add physical memory to the kernel’s usable pool after boot.
Kernel Configurable system wide default thread stack size​ The new procnto option -s allows you to set a system-wide default stack size (in bytes) for regular user threads, including SIGEV_THREAD threads.
Networking Marvell Network PHY The devs-marvell_phy.so driver is released as stable.
Networking FreeBSD version update The FreeBSD version that QNX OS networking is based on has been updated from 13.5 to 14.3.
Networking High-performance networking stack New sysctl tunables:
  • qnx.chan_width allows you to set the width of the io-sock resource manager channel.
  • qnx.sysrunmem allows you to specify the total amount of system memory that is available to io-sock. The io-sock networking stack uses this value to calculate sizes for resources like caches and limits on pools of memory that it uses.
Security

Security Events​

 A new function secpolev_get_timestamp() returns the original timestamp of the current security event.
Filesystems Power-Safe (QNX 6) filesystem The Power-Safe (QNX 6) filesystem now allows you to enable trimming on very short-lived files. Trimming entails informing the underlying device that certain sectors are not needed and therefore can be discarded. This feature can help maintain write performance.
Filesystems Power-Safe (QNX 6) filesystem The Power-Safe (QNX 6) filesystem has a new feature: defragmentation. When a regular file is opened, the defragmentation service combines smaller blocks into larger blocks to keep I/O performance optimal over time. This feature is configured through a new fs-qnx6.so option, defrag.
Filesystems Support for inotify() Added support for ionotify() in the fsevmgr client interface, allowing clients to receive event notifications using standard I/O notification mechanisms, such as poll().
Filesystems Support for numocb= option Support has been added for the numocb= option, which can be used with allocation modes such as alloc=upfront and alloc=greedy.
Utilities GDBServer This package contains GNU Project Debugger Server for QNX OS hosts.
Utilities CPU offlining CPU offlining disables a CPU core so that it is no longer used for scheduling or visible as active to user-space tools.
Utilities Introspection The Process Introspection API provides controlled access to information about processes, threads, memory, and system state for debugging, monitoring, and diagnostics.
OS Libraries JSON encoder The JSON library, libjson, now provides json_encoder_add_int_ull(), json_decoder_get_int_ull(), and json_decoder_is_unsigned(), which allow applications to encode, decode, and check for 64-bit unsigned integers.
OS Services PLMS The QNX® SDP 8.0 QNX Process Launcher and Monitor Service (PLMS) has been introduced as a process launching and monitoring service that manages system components based on a configuration file. It provides support for starting, stopping, and restarting components, monitoring their state, and handling dependencies between them.
Screen VulkanSC The Vulkan ICD loader has been updated to version 1.4x.
Screen Debug Overlay Added a visual debugging layer that overlays content and displays diagnostic information to help analyze rendering and troubleshoot issues. For more information, refer to Screen below.
Screen Updates to image codec The following updates have been made to the image codec:
  • .jpeg updated to version 10
  • .png updated to version 1.6.58
  • .tiff updated to 4.7.1
  • .gif updated to 6.1.1
Screen Screen driver DDK The new QNX® SDP 8.0 Screen Driver Development Kit includes header files and static libraries, which provides the tools required to develop QNX Screen display and GPU drivers.
Screen Virtual display The virtual display can now be configured without a framebuffer/compositor, or framebuffer class.
BSP Frameworks Input component The input component was updated for enhanced functionality.
BSP Frameworks New GPIO framework A new hardware-agnostic GPIO framework has been added.
BSP Frameworks Separate package for common PCI HW module source The common PCI HW module source has been moved into a new library, libpci_hw_common.
BSP Frameworks PCIe Gen4, Gen5 support Added official support for PCI Gen4 and Gen5 link speeds.

Note:

Screen demonstrator applications (such as gles2-gears and vk-gears) are now optional and are not installed by default. To install these demos, install the com.qnx.qnx800.target.screen.demos package.

Installing QNX SDP

To use QNX SDP 8.0.5, you need to have QNX Software Center 2.0.4 or later. For information about installing and opening this other product, refer to the Install and launch the QNX Software Center chapter in the QNX Software Center User's Guide.

Note:

You install QNX SDP 8.0.5 as a new baseline product by installing QNX SDP 8.0.5 with the conservative installation policy selected. Currently, you cannot update an existing QNX SDP 8.0.x installation to QNX SDP 8.0.5 using a patch set.

To install the QNX SDP 8.0.5 product:

  1. Open the QNX Software Center and click Add Installation.
  2. In the New Installation Wizard, expand QNX Software Development Platform 8.0, select QNX Software Development Platform 8.0, and then click Next as needed to navigate to the Installation Properties page.
  3. In the Installation Properties page, for Update Policy, select Conservative, and then complete the rest of the installation steps.

For more information, go to the Install the QNX Software Development Platform chapter in the QNX Software Center User's Guide.

To access the contents of the package, right-click QNX OS and QNX Tool Suite, choose Properties, then click Package Contents. Some of the packages may contain no files but instead references to contained packages (or subpackages), in which case the contents page display a note saying so. To access the list of subpackages, right-click the package, choose Properties, then click Package Dependencies. Because the baseline OS product has many inter-package dependencies, sometimes you have to go through multiple levels of subpackages to access the included files.

Note:
For more information related to QNX SDP 8.0.5 updates, refer to the QNX SDP 8.0.5 Product Updates Release Notes prior to installing those updates.
Note:
Some packages in this release include experimental files. The maturity level of individual files is displayed in the Status column in the package contents table. The individual files in a package can have different maturity levels.

You can also obtain the maturity statuses of files by generating a manifest report. For more information, refer to the Manifest Reports & File Lookup chapter of the QNX Software Center User's Guide.

Each package has its maturity level. You can learn this by right-clicking the package, choosing Properties, then clicking General Information. In the Legal and Regulatory Information panel, there's a Status field. For details about the possible values of this field, refer to Package status in the Deploy licenses to users section in the QNX Software Center User's Guide.

Warning:
QNX users must deploy the complete QNX 8.0.5 patch set, as several features introduced in version 8.0.5 rely on tightly coupled OS dependencies. Partial adoption of the patch set may result in incompatibilities or unsupported configurations. Full patch integration is required to ensure proper functionality and system stability.

Debug information for shipped binaries

The QNX SDP target binaries are generated with debug information (-g), with the debug form of the binary stored in a separate binaryName.sym file. The non-sym form is stripped of the debug and .ident information (use -s works only on files containing the .ident section).

Most target packages include debug information (.sym files). The binaries and their .sym files are linked, so gdb understands where to find the symbol data. There's no need to store .sym files for the binaries on a target.

If the debug symbols are especially large, there might be a separate debug package in the QNX Software Center. To install debug symbols in this case, select your installation from the toolbar, then go to the Advanced tab. Click Edit Installation Properties. In the property dialog that opens, ensure that the Install debug symbols checkbox is selected (this box is selected by default). Click OK.

If you decide to not install the debug information but later want it, you can right-click a package and choose Install debug symbols.

Experimental items

CAUTION:
Experimental software is primarily provided for customers and the community to try out, and to get an idea of what might be coming in the future. For information about the use of experimental software, refer to the Commercial Software License Agreement (CSLA) or Partner Software License Agreement (PSLA) in the Licensing area of our website: https://www.qnx.com/legal/licensing/.

Some experimental items are implemented in the packages of the baseline product. This means these items are installed when you install QNX SDP and, hence, there's nothing else you must do to be able to use them. Other experimental items are contained in their own packages that aren't installed when you install QNX SDP. To locate and install these packages so you can use the items they contain, go to the Available tab in QNX Software Center and search for part or all of the package name. Then, click the package in the search results and then the Install button in the bottom right corner.

The table that follows lists the experimental items by functional area and indicates whether each one is contained in an additional package that must be installed separately.

Fixed issues

The following issues are fixed in this update. To find a specific issue, search for a reference number on this page or use the search tool:
Description Applicable Architecture(s) Application-Level Impact System-Level Impact Reference Number
When configured to use a state file, secpolgenerate incorrectly reported all abilities defined in the original policy as used, even if they were unused. This issue has been fixed so that only abilities actually exercised are reported. General Not available. Not available. 3006411
The secpolgenerate tool no longer applies special handling to the priority:255 value, ensuring consistent and predictable behavior when generating security policies. General Not available. Not available. 3001100
The secpolgenerate tool could terminate with a SIGSEGV when processing a state file containing a mem_phys ability without an associated range. This issue has been fixed to prevent crashes when such input is encountered. General Not available. Not available. 3006206
The secpolpush tool no longer fails when procmgr_ability_create() returns an error, allowing policy updates to proceed without interruption. General Not available. Not available. 3001750
The secpolgenerate tool incorrectly handled errors returned by procmgr_ability_create(), resulting in improper error checking during policy generation. This issue has been fixed to ensure errors are correctly detected and handled. General Not available. Not available. 3006701
The secpolgenerate tool could create new types when running in monitoring mode, resulting in unintended policy changes. This issue has been fixed to prevent the creation of new types during monitoring. General Not available. Not available. 2991964
Fixed an issue where the libsecpolev library could experience buffer overruns and other memory-handling problems, potentially leading to instability or incorrect behavior. General Not available. Not available. 3020882
Fixed an issue where the secpolgenerate tool could crash when processing a configuration file containing unexpected or extra types. General Not available. Not available. 3015878
Fixed an issue where secpol-preload could exceed the maximum mount point handle limit, potentially preventing proper handling of mount points. General Not available. Not available. 2976235
Fixed an issue where secpol utilities could block when processing empty ability ranges. General Not available. Not available. 2984018
Fixed an issue where the LC_ALL and LANG environment variables were not set by default, which could lead to inconsistent locale behavior in applications. General Not available. Not available. 3017834
Fixed an issue where AddressSanitizer and Leak Sanitizer did not work correctly when Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) was enabled, which could cause instrumented applications to fail or produce incorrect results. General Not available. Not available. 3014985
Fixed an issue where LeakSanitizer and AddressSanitizer did not work as expected, which could result in incomplete detection of memory leaks and memory errors in instrumented applications. General Not available. Not available. 3002502
Fixed an issue where gdb could fail to interrupt a running process, preventing users from pausing execution during debugging. Aarch64, Host-Windows Not available. Not available. 3000560
Fixed an issue where the mkqnx6fsimg utility used an incorrect default value for num_sectors, which could result in improperly sized filesystem images. General Not available. Not available. 2981646
Fixed an issue where fsevmgr could crash when inotify_rm_watch() was called and the associated filesystem was subsequently unmounted. General The fsevmgr process could terminate with a SIGSEGV, rendering all inotify watches inoperative. The fsevmgr and libfsnotify.so binaries must be updated. These binaries are typically located in the primary boot IFS. 3021215
Fixed an issue where io-blk could crash when using on-demand cache allocation mode. General A devb process would terminate at startup if run with "alloc=demand", or the size of "cache=" was too big to be fully allocated. The fix is within io-blk.so. If this binary is included in the primary boot IFS, then the primary boot IFS will need to be re-built. 3021620
Fixed an issue where fsnotify did not handle filesystem unmount operations correctly, which could lead to inconsistent notification behavior for file system events. General Events triggered immediately before an unmount would not be delivered. The fsevmgr and libfsnotify.so binaries need to be included in a re-built primary boot IFS. 3021519
Fixed an issue where fsevmgr could crash when inotify_rm_watch() was called and the associated filesystem was subsequently unmounted. General The fsevmgr process could terminate with a SIGSEGV, rendering all inotify watches inoperative. `` The fsevmgr and libfsnotify.so binaries must be updated. These binaries are typically located in the primary boot IFS. 3021215
Fixed an issue where fsnotify_evmgr_client_new_watch() did not correctly set the exclusive flag, which could result in incorrect handling of file system event watches. General The IN_MASK_CREATE flag is now honoured by inotify_add_watch(). The fixed libfsnotify.so library is typically located in the primary boot IFS. This IFS must be rebuilt. 3018875
Fixed an issue where repeated use of file system event monitoring could incorrectly reduce the maximum number of available clients over time. General The fsevmgr process no longer leaks client contexts when a program calls inotify_add_watch() multiple times on the same file using the same inotify_fd. The fixed libfsnotify.so library is typically located in the primary boot IFS. This IFS must be rebuilt. 3018791
Fixed an issue where fsnotify did not properly clean up resources when a filesystem failed an ADD_WATCH operation, which could lead to resource leaks. General The fsevmgr process leaked a small amount of memory for each new watch rejected by the filesystem. The fsevmgr and libfsnotify.so binaries must be updated. These binaries are typically located in the primary boot IFS. 3017974
Fixed an issue where repeated removal and re-creation of inotify watches could place fsevmgr in an inconsistent state, causing subsequent file system event operations, such as name length queries, to fail. General Using inotify_rm_watch() to remove a file watch and then quickly using inotify_add_watch() to create a new watch on the same file no longer causes the fsevmgr process to stop delivering events. The correct fsevmgr and libfsnotify.so binaries are typically located in the primary boot IFS. This IFS must be rebuilt. 3016279
Added support in mkqnx6fs for specifying permissions on the root directory of the filesystem using the -R option. General The mkqnx6fs command now accepts the -R command-line option to specify the permissions of the root directory of the filesystem. The modified mkqnx6fs binary must be updated. This binary is typically located in the primary boot IFS. This IFS must be rebuilt. 2996756
Fixed an issue where fsevmgr could crash with a SIGSEGV when handling file system event monitoring operations. General Not available. Not available. 2968679
Fixed an issue where io-blk did not pre-grow the OCB slab when using the alloc=upfront option, which could affect memory allocation behavior for block I/O operations. General If passing blk alloc=upfront or blk alloc=greedy to a disk driver, the memory pool for OCBs is now correctly pre-grown. Refer to the numocb= option in the io-blk documentation. The io-blk.so binary must be updated. This binary is typically located in the primary boot IFS. This IFS must be rebuilt. 2941160
Fixed an issue where Screen could crash when exiting an application if no framebuffer was defined. General None. System can now be configured without a framebuffer 3020531
Fixed an issue where Screen didn't validate the pipeline ID used for the framebuffer class. General None. A faulty configuration causes an error instead of a potential Screen crash. 3020482

Fixed an issue where screen_get_display_property_iv() returned an incorrect value (0) for SCREEN_PROPERTY_TYPE when using a virtual display.

Aarch64 A display manager application is now able to retrieve the property display type. Before it was returning an invalid value. None. 3012940
Fixed an issue where libwayland could not run as a non-root user. x86_64 Wayland application no longer has to run as root. None. 3003397
Fixed an issue where restarting io-hid could cause keyboard input to stop working on i.MX95 platforms. General None. Screen can now reconnect to io-hid if the latter is restarted. 3000725
Fixed an issue where /dev/screen no longer contained buf-<n>.data files, which could affect components expecting these buffer files. General None. Raw buffer data (.data) is now available through the debug interface (/dev/screen). 2996748
Fixed an issue in SNOR flash handling where Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) data was not parsed correctly, which could lead to incorrect device configuration. Aarch64 The flash driver has improved device identification logic. None. 3005979
Fixed an issue in I2C drivers where the _i2c_master_sendrecv() override/workaround was not correctly applied, which could affect I2C communication behavior. General New flag added for drivers to indicate repeated-START support. None. 3001410
Fixed an issue where USB 2.0 UVC cameras using isochronous transfers did not function correctly, preventing proper device operation. x86_64 USB2 UVC cameras now work as expected. None. 2984409
Fixed an issue where io-usb-otg and usblauncher used the legacy slogger interface instead of the current logging mechanism. General USB no longer requires xprocess_query ability. Slight performance increase from slog2 calls. None. 2993240
Fixed an issue where preempting a thread with a CPU affinity to a specific CPU could affect the performance of other threads on other CPUs that were making kernel calls. General None. Rebuild with updated procnto-smp-instr. 3028313

General None. Rebuild with updated procnto-smp-instr and libc.so. 3020604
Enable traceprinter to support trace events when sending IPIs. General None. Rebuild with updated tracelogger, traceprinter, and libtracelog.so. 3019623
Added traceevent before sending IPI. General None. Rebuild with updated procnto-smp-instr. 3008131
Fixed an issue where the pidin utility should print hwid as a 64-bit value for the cpuinfo syspage section. General None. Use updated pidin utility. 3018060
Fixed an issue where slog2info on Win64 and Linux hosts printed pointer values (%p) in a format that didn’t match the target, and where the Win64 host version didn’t print long integer values correctly. General None. Use the updated host versions of slog2info. 3015849
Added an optional tuning capability in libslog2parse.so to throttle rapid queries to slogger2 during dynamic polling. Also added a command-line option to slog2info to use gmtime_r() for timestamp output, eliminating per-log timezone lookups. General None. Use updated libslog2parse.so and slog2info. 3014820
Fixed an issue where pidin fds could access a freed named semaphore node, potentially causing a kernel crash. General None. Rebuild with updated procnto-smp-instr. 3012888
Updated pidin utility to use new Introspection API. General None. Use updated pidin utility. 3011196
