The Uplink_test used to end in an uncaucht exception about a failed packet
allocation on several x86_32 platforms.
* Destruct and re-construct the corresponding TX packet allocator during a
link-down-up step in the Uplink test. Fixes the exceptions but results in a
never ending test.
* Decouple the link-down-up steps from the handling of packet stream signals
by simply triggering it with a local periodic timeout of 1 sec period.
This prevents that the Uplink_test never finishes because it destructs the
Uplink connection too often.
* The test finishes not before at least 3 link-down-up steps were executed.
* Replace the Allocator_avl's used for the TX packet allocators of the Nic
and Uplink Connection with the better suited Nic::Packet_allocator.

The service is merely announced but trying to request a session always causes a
Service_denied exception. This helps in scenarios where the client is
won't open a session anyway but expects the service to be available. This is
considered a temporary solution.
Ref #4419
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.
Issue #4448
This patch changes the output format of the trace logger to become
better suitable for human consumption. For example, when instrumenting
the VFS server in Sculpt using the GENODE_TRACE_TSC utility, the
trace logger now generates tabular output as follows.

Subjects that belong to the same PD are grouped together. The formerly
optional affinity and activity options have been removed. Those
information are now unconditionally displayed. The trace entries
belonging to a thread appear as slightly indented.
The patch also updates the coding style, avoiding excessively long

To make room for the re-newed usb_host_drv basing on Linux 5.14 and
the re-newed lx_kit/lx_emul we have to move the depot recipe and
consistently name the old drivers with a legacy_ prefix.

Issue #4281
The former implementation did not internally track ROM changes notified
vs. delivered to the client. We adapt the versioning implementation
implemented in dynamic_rom_session.h and enable explicit notification of
the current version.
The feature is used by the clipboard to notify permitted readers of the
clipboard ROM service on focus change via the newly created private
Rom::Module::_notify_permitted_readers() function.
Fixes#4274
The 'black_hole' component provides dummy implementations of common
session interfaces.
At this time, only the 'Audio_out' session is provided if enabled
in the configuration of the component:
<config>
<audio_out/>
</config>
Issue #3653
If the trace subjects are not properly destructed when the TRACE client
disappears, enabled sources will be owned by a non-existing client.
In other words, when a TRACE client disappears all sources owned by the
client must be disabled.

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.
Ref #4246
BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY:
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
HOW TO ADJUST:
At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays the
same.
The term "uplink" for network interfaces in the router that have a NIC session
client as back end was introduced in a time when Uplink sessions didn't yet
exist. Now, they do and, although both an uplink and an Uplink session
normally describe a network session between router and network device driver,
they are based on two different service types (NIC and Uplink). This can easily
cause confusion when integrating the router (the <uplink> is not related to
Uplink sessions) or trying to understand its functioning (an 'Uplink' object
has nothing to do with the Uplink service).
Therefore, this commit introduces the more specific term "NIC client" for an
interface that is based on a NIC session requested by the router. This doesn't
imply any semantic changes at the NIC router. However, the commit also brings a
broader update of the router's README and removes the term "downlink" that was
used only in documentation to refer to interfaces backed by a NIC session
provided by the router. The term was only associated with this meaning because
it is the natural counterpart to an uplink. This isn't appropriate anymore as
the terms for interface types have moved to a more technical level.
The commit adjusts all scenarios in the basic Genode repositories properly.
Fixes#4238
The driver is faily simple and does not support fancy features like
TCP checksum offloading or vlan filtering, but it is fully capable of
running every Genode network based scenario I've tried. Its currently
known to work on virt_qemu arm platforms and x86_64.
Fix#3825
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
The 'vfs_block' component will give access to a VFS file through a
Block session. For more detailed information please look at its
README.
(On a technical note, the server currently only allows for one
active session and has only one pending back end request but can
easily be extended in the future.)
Fixes#3781.
Make the framebuffer driver for pl11x chipsets,
the ps2 input driver for pl050, and the lan9116 NIC driver independent from
the pbxa9 board by using the newly introduced common ARM platform driver API.
