The fact that the IPv4 config was a struct with all data members public was a
mere leftover of an early state of the NIC router. Today, the router
implementation style is to avoid structs and public data members wherever
possible.
This commit slightly changes the behavior of the router regarding log output.
The router used to print malformed IPv4 configurations to the log only if
the 'verbose' config flag was set using this style:
! [my_domain] malformed dynamic IP config: interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...
Now, malformed IPv4 configurations are only printed if the
'verbose_domain_state' config flag is set (like with any IP4v configuration
states) using this style:
! [my_domain] dynamic IP config: malformed (interface 10.0.2.1/24 ...)

The NIC router DHCP server used to add an extra option 6 field to DHCP replies
for each DNS server address. This conflicts with RFC #2132 section 3.8 which
states that the addresses should be listed within one option 6 field without
delimiter. The discrepancy is fixed by this commit.

File size must be the same as the number of bytes that can be read from
the file. Otherwise, this will trigger a `Truncated_during_read`
exception.

Via a new configuration attribute, the user can decide whether the router
should answer dropped fragmented IPv4 with an ICMP "destination unreachable"
packet and, if so, which value the ICMP code field of this packet should have.
The default is that the router doesn't send such responses (silently dropping
fragmented IPv4). The behavior is tested by the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Fixes#4236
If the new attribute 'dropped_fragm_ipv4' of the <report> tag in the NIC router
config is set "yes", the router will report the number of packets that were
dropped per interface respectively domain because fragmented IPv4 is not
supported. The default is not to report the counter. The behavior is tested by
the 'nic_router_ipv4_fragm' test.
Ref #4236
The NIC router used to ignore the IPv4 header fields "More fragments" and
"Fragment offset" completely. Therefore higher-level protocols of fragmented
IPv4 were interpreted wrong because each fragment was considered a self-
standing packet, expecting, for instance UDP/TCP headers somewhere inside of
the UDP/TCP data field. Normally, such packets were dropped as soon as the
UDP/TCP checksum check failed because of the misinterpretation. However,
it was also possible for fragmented IPv4 to pass the router although normally
only partially.
IPv4 fragmentation support in the router would introduce some potential
security risks and is presumably not an easy endeavor. So, for now, we settled
on not supporting IPv4 fragmentation. With this commit, the router simply drops
all fragmented IPv4. This is reflected to the log for each fragment as "drop
packet (fragmented IPv4 not supported)" when 'verbose_packet_drop="yes"' is
configured.
The new test 'run/nic_router_ipv4_fragm' is an automated test for this
behavior. The test is added to the autopilot list.

- remove redundant file system factory
- remove dead code block
The code was guarded by preprocessor directives checking whether the
contrib code define "_USE_MKFS" is 1. As "_USE_MKFS" is not set one
for our port of FAT, the code was never executed and can be removed.
- remove uneffective config attributes
Apparently, the former XML attributes to the plugin 'drive' and
'codepage' had no effect. I tested them in a scenario with the VFS
block server on a disk-image boot-module as back end. Regardless of
the 'drive' value, the block session label was always "0". Regardless
of the 'codepage' value, the FAT on the disk image succeeded to mount
when not using '--codepage' for 'mkfs.fat' and failed to mount when
using '--codepage' to specify a supported but foreign codepage for
'mkfs.fat' (e.g. "720").
Ref #4220
There was one global static constructor:
! namespace Fatfs { static Constructible<Platform> _platform; }
This caused applications that used the lib or the <fatfs> VFS plugin to end up
in an uncaught exception due to Genode::Component complaining that method
'construct' returned without executing pending static constructors if they
didn't call Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
As the use of Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors() is discouraged in Genode,
this commit rather moves the '_platform' object to the scope of the
initializing function and introduces a global static pointer to the object that
gets set by the initializing function. Although this prevents the exception, it
is, technically speaking even worse than the former solution as the new pointer
isn't checked for validity in contrast to the 'Constructible' object.
However, so far, I don't see a clean solution to this problem without the need
for Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().

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
An interface that received a signal for a link-state change accessed its
domain reference without assuming that it could not be attached to a domain
at that moment. This caused the NIC router to crash with an uncaught exception
of type 'Net::Pointer<Net::Domain>::Invalid'. The commit adds a catch
directive for this exception resulting in the handler doing nothing if not
attached to any domain.
Fixes#4222
The test script failed during preparation of the on-target execution for
USB Armory with the following error:
! can't read "tz_vmm_block_irq": no such variable
Presumably, the script wasn't run anymore since the introduction of the
'tz_vmm_block_irq' variable for i.MX53 QSB. As we do not have infrastructure
for automated testing of the USB Armory and there seems to be not much
interest in using Genode on this platform, this commit simply removes the
support from the script.
Filtering boards in a run script by specs isn't the right way anymore (the
specs do not exist anymore). Nowadays, we have to use [have_board] instead.
Ref #4229
For unknown reasons, the former 'wget genode.org' call, that was meant to test
network in the Trustzone guest on imx53_qsb_tz, didn't succeed anymore although
the same call succeeded on my Sculpt VM Linux. However, 'ping 1.1.1.1' still
works, so, the script now uses this as test for networking instead.
Fixes#4229
So far, in order to create an ARP reply, the NIC router merely created a copy
of the corresponding ARP request and modified only those values that differ.
This approach has the disadvantage of re-using bad parameters from a broken
request. The specific use-case that made this visible was an early version of
the Pine board network driver that used to forward ARP requests with a greater
size than required. The ARP replies of the router re-used this size and
confused other network nodes with that. In general, the NIC router should
rely on the data of incoming packets the least possible. Therefore, with this
commit, the router creates a new ARP reply from scratch and uses only those
values required from the corresponding ARP request.
Fixes#4235
The former declaration of the IPv4 packet did not only use the questionable
tool of implementation-defined C++ bitsets but also lacked access to flags
"don't fragment" (DF) and "more fragments" (MF). This commit replaces the
C++ bitsets by using the register framework and introduces accessors for the
missing flags.

This patch lifts the limitation for 32-bit ARM platforms and makes the

This commit introduces a C-API to the Uplink session, as well as to
serve as a Block service. It can be used by drivers ported from
C-only projects, like the Linux kernel, or BSD kernels for instance.
Fix#4226
The re-newed approach currently supports ARM 64-bit only.
It depends on the Platform API of the ARM architecture.
It tries to meet the original semantic of the Linux kernel
functions as far as possible. To achieve this, device drivers
using this library should reference the original Linux kernel
headers at foremost. Only the headers in `src/include/lx_emul/shadow`
have to shadow clone the original ones.
Fix#4225
skb_push() already increases the skb->len by ETH_HLEN, hence adding
ETH_HLEN to the packet_size is redundant.
A too large packet size becomes a problem for large MTUs. With a maximum
MTU of 1500, adding ETH_HLEN twice will lead to a packet size of 1528.
Since this is larger than what we expect for good-old Ethernet (max. 1522),
some clients (e.g. the e1000 model in vbox5) may drop these packets.

I discovered thinkbroadband.com requires the User-Agent header field and
rejects requests missing it with HTTP response code 403 "access to the
requested resource is forbidden". Now, fetchurl always adds the
User-Agent header fetchurl/LIBCURL_VERSION.
Also the error message now contains the HTTP response code.
