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
On muen, we don't have configured access to wifi so far. Thus, the wifi
driver doesn't come up and we should skip tests using this driver for
the platform.
Fix#3384
* Make package buildable for ARM too
* Move usb library to src targets for explicitly named targets
* adapt remaining run-scripts to use the correctly named usb drivers
Ref #2190
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
This patch reintroduces the LwIP stack to libc as a VFS plugin
implementing the socket_fs interface. Rather than use LwIP's socket
emulation layer this plugin interfaces directly to LwIP raw API and is
single threaded.
The internal TCP parameters of the stack are untuned.

Also remove 'requires_installation_of', while also checking sbin
directories in 'have_installed'. The run scripts have been adjusted
accordingly.
Fixes#2853
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
When updating an interface in the NIC router to a new configuration and
the domain name of the interface has not changed but the domain
disappeared, the NIC router did not detach from the old domain correctly
which led to broken remnants of interface state objects (like connection
states).
Adapt the nic_router_uplinks run script to work with the fix.
Automated test for switching the NIC-router uplink between NIC driver and Wifi
driver with DHCP and different subnets. Tests also removal and later re-
insertion of the uplink domain tag.
Issue #2815
Rename LwIP library in preparation for removal of LwIP libc plugin. The
current LwIP library will be replaced with a new version stripped of its
synchronous socket support. The next version will be incompatible with
the current, so removing 'lwip.lib.so' completely for a period makes it
easy to identify legacy users.
