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.
Issue #5340
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.

The version in ui_report and ui_config were merely used for making test output
more readable. However, there are other ways to achieve this goal.
Ref #5190
* adds rekeying and resizing controls to config+report api of file vault
* moves common types of file vault to file_vault/include/file_vault/types.h
to be included by other components
* fixes wrong type of nr_of_clients fields in file_vault
* introduces the file_vault_gui component that is a minimal graphical front end
for the file vault based on the dialog lib and that uses the
config+report api of the file vault as back end

This commit adds missing routes to I2c for the framebuffer driver of the
MNT Reform. If build for this concrete board the Board_info::Soc variable
within the sculpt_manager is initialized according to the properties of
this device. The `update_soc` routine is called in the initialization of
the sculpt_manager, otherwise it won't be called at all, if no PCI devices
changes are detected. Missing driver binaries and device-tree-binaries are
add to the run-script.

This commits updates the contrib sources to version 8.7.1.
This version requires more random entropy as it queries OpenSSL
about the current random state and will bail if it is not sufficient.
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.
Fixes#5184.
The new VFS OSS plugin utilizes the Record and Play session. For the
time being it is a drop-in replacement for the old plugin and shares
its limitations.
In contrast to the old plugin it is possible to force a client to
use a configured fragment size. Some clients work best with larger
fragments, e.g. VBox, where raising the minimal fragment size is
beneficial.
Please look at the README file for more information.

By moving the event_filter and the numlock_remap_rom from the drivers
subsystem to the static system, the filtering can be applied to drivers
hosted in the runtime and drivers hosted in the drivers subsystem.
This is a preparatory step for moving the USB host and HID drivers to
the runtime.
Issue #5150
* 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.

- New session interfaces:
- os/include/play_session (for audio playing / mic-input driver)
- os/include/record_session (for audio recording / audio-output driver)
- Mixer at os/src/record_play_mixer providing both play and record services
- Simple waveform player at os/src/app/waveform_player
- Simple audio-signal capturing component at os/src/app/record_rom
- Simple oscilloscpe at gems/src/app/rom_osci (using record_rom)
- Simple test-audio_play for playing raw stereo f32 data
The _gems/run/waveform_player.run_ script illustrates the use of the new
components and interfaces.
Issue #5097
This patch moves the text-editing facility of app/text_area to a
text-area widget as part of the dialog library. This has two benefits.
First, it simplifies app/text_area by using the dialog API. Second, the
editor can now easily be reused by other dialog-API-based applications.
Fixes#5058
Differences in TAR archive member metadata results in unstable depot
hashes. The following properties have to be fixed: modification time
(incl. time zone), numeric owner and group, permission modes.
Releated to #2842
This patch partially converts the Sculpt manager to the dialog API.
At this stage, both the old utilities and the new dialog API are still
used simultaneously.
Issue #5008
* Removes the <event> tag from all test package runtime files and replaces the
contained <timeout> and <log> sub-tags with the new tags <succeed> and
<fail>. If a <succeed> or <fail> tag has a content, it defines a log pattern
that should be recognized and render the test failed or successful. If a
<succeed> or <fail> tag has an attribute after_seconds that is not set to 0,
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
over the new syntax.
Fixes#4922
