This patch eliminates the need for a global allocator by passing the
parent-service registry as argument to the 'Slave::Policy' constructor.
Fixes#2269
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
Replacing the node lookup table with an Id_space removes the
limit on open handles per session and allows mutal associativity
between File_system handles and local VFS handles.
Fix#2221
The test now forks twice - the parent forks a child and the child itself
forks a grand child. Both, parent and child, wait for termination of
their forked process with waitpid(). Additionally, the run script now
checks for exit of the parent (not any noux process).
First, calls to manage and dissolve signal contexts now check if the
signal receiver was constructed. There is a small window during suspend
where it is destructed before reconstructed again.
Last, we ensure that processing of incoming signal was deblocked by the
suspend signal before entering the suspend operation. This way we ensure
already queued signal are handled.
The block file system wrongly modified the seek offset during a
read-modify-write operation that is required for sub-block-size
requests. This led to problems whenever such write requests spanned
multiple blocks and thereby were handled in multiple iterations.
Fixes#2262
This test reproduces an issue of the VFS block file system when the
underlying block device has a coarser granularity than the block
requests issued by the VFS client. I.e., if the underlying block device
has a block size of 4K, writing a sequence of (non-4K-aligned) 512 blocks
that crosss a 4K boundary corrupts the data on the block device.
Issue #2262
The new utility at 'os/static_parent_services.h' allows the creation of
a registry of parent services at compile time and thereby eliminates the need
for dynamic memory allocations whenever the set of services is known at
compile time as is the case for most uses of 'Slave::Policy'. The commit
showcases the utility in the bomb test.
This commit enables compile-time warnings displayed whenever a deprecated
API header is included, and adjusts the existing #include directives
accordingly.
Issue #1987
On Odroid XU the SD card driver comes up and finds a card but for card
access it seems that we would need a platform driver like on Arndale.
On imx_53, the first SDHCI MMIO access faults. This is likely due to the
AIPSTZ memory bridge. On HW, we initialize the AIPSTZ in the kernel, but
when I tried doing that in the platform driver instead, the first AIPSTZ
MMIO access faults ^^ So I gave up for now and removed support.

In the past, the Genode::destroy, that is called by the RAM-FS-chunk destructors,
issued Allocator::free instead of the C++ delete. Therefore it was possible to
use the size argument of Allocator::free for the allocation tracker in the
RAM-FS-chunk test. Nowadays, we have to keep track of the allocation sizes
ourselves because delete doesn't hand over the size.

The FB Block Adapter in os/src/test visualizes a block session via a
Framebuffer session. As far as I can see, it is not a test but rather
the base for a bump-in-the-wire component. However, for this role it
currently lacks a Block back-end. As it also would have to be updated to
use the new base API I removed it instead, leaving only its git
history as inspiration if someone needs such a component in the future.

Unfortunately, this simple fix renders both tools also dependent to libm
and ncurses which they don't use.
This streamlines the Genode-specific interface for both 32-bit and
64-bit architectures and fixes dynamic-linking issue with the rump
VFS due to differing size_t types.
This function returns the information whether the used platform relies
on USB HID for interactive scenarios by default as is the case for most
ARM platforms. In contrast, for x86 the USB driver can be omitted because
we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).
If the detach address is not the beginning of the region, one gets:
"virtual void Genode::Allocator_avl_base::free(void*): given
address (0x180e0) is not the block start address (0x18000)"
Instead, print an explicit warning in front of the detach call.
Cleaning up LWIP when returning from the main function sporadically
leads to endless errors "Error: sys_arch_mbox_fetch: unknown exception
occured!". We let the client sleep forever at the end of its main function
to prevent tests from failing due to a flooded log.

Fixes#2223
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely

This patch changes the 'Xml_node_label_score' to regard an empty
label_prefix or label_suffix as a match instead of a conflict. Until
now, there was no use case for an empty label_prefix. But with init's
new ability to route environment sessions, an empty prefix denotes any
child-initiated session (as oposed to an parent-initiated environment
session).

This patch fixes a problem that unsurfaced by the commit "menu_view: API
transition", which changed the class layout of the 'Png_image' so that
the 'Read_struct' pointer is no longer equal to the 'Png_image' pointer.
This commit addresses the situation where an environment session
outlives the session-providing service. In this case, the env session
got already invaidated at the destruction time of the server. However,
the underlying session-state structure continues to exist until the
client is destructed. During the eventual destruction of such a dangling
environment session, we have to be careful not to interact with the
no-longer existing service.
Ref #2197
This patch addresses the corner case of destructing a child that
provides an enviroment session to another child. Before this patch,
this situation could result in an infinite loop.
The problem was introduced as a side effect of issue #2197 "base: apply
routing policy to environment sessions".
This patch re-enables the launchpad to start multiple instances of the
same program. Without it, launchpad wrongly requests the binary ROM with
the child's unique name as label. The lookup of the first instance
solely succeeds because the unique name equals the binary name.
To better support non-blocking terminal components, let the
'Terminal::Session::write()' function return the number of bytes
actually written.
Fixes#2240
The session-control mechanism is based on the way how sessions are
labeled. In #2171, we changed the labeling to be more strict. In
particular, label-less sessions do no longer exist.
Unfortunately, nitpicker and the window manager still handled the former
weaker labeling, which ultimately led to a situation where any
session-control argument would mismatch. The behavior could be observed
in the launcher.run script where a click on the subsystem button would
not focus the clicked-on subsystem. With the patch, the scenario works
again as expected.
This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely
in the implicit use of the global Genode::env() accessor are called.
For the time being, some places within the base framework continue
to rely on the global function while omitting the warning by calling
'env_deprecated' instead of 'env'.

This patch removes the dependency of the deprecated Genode API,

Most implementations use a Signal_handler now to acknowledge the packet
instead of waiting for the transfer completion. The exceptions to that are
the non-DMA implementations for RPI and PL180
Ref #2206
In addition to that we now busy wait, i.e. poll, for interrupts
instead of using the IRQ session. That is fine because interrupts
were only used while configuring the HDMI over I2C and are not used
while normal operation.

This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.
To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.
Ubuntu provides position independent shared objects for libraries, e.g.,
libsdl1.2-dev. To appropriatly link it to Genode, the linker flag
'-no-pie' has to be added to the make file.
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
On a 64-bit system, enabling the OpenSSL NIST 64-bit optimization should
result in considerable speed improvements when using curves: NIST-P224,
NIST-P256, and NIST-P521. Additionally it avoids that Tor complains
about having an OpenSSL that lacks this feature.

These functions are marked as always inline through the 'SELF_RELOC' macro. This
became necessary because on riscv functions calls are performed through the
global offset table, which is not initialized at this point.
Fixes#2203
This patch makes the benefit of the recently introduced unified Genode
ABI available to developers by enabling the use of multiple kernels from
within a single build directory. The create_builddir tool has gained a
new set of kernel-agnostic platform arguments such as x86_32, or panda.
Most build targets within directories are in principle compatible with
all kernels that support the selected hardware platform. To execute a
scenario via the run tool, one has to select the kernel to use by
setting the 'KERNEL' argument in the build configuration
(etc/build.conf). Alternatively, the 'KERNEL' can be specified as
command-line argument of the Genode build system, e.g.:
make run/log KERNEL=nova
This allows us to easily switch from one kernel to another without
rebuilding any Genode component except for the very few kernel-specific
ones.
The new version of the 'create_builddir' tool is still compatible with
the old version. The old kernel-specific build directories can still be
created. However, those variants will eventually be removed.
Note that the commit removes the 'ports-foc' repository from the
generated 'build.conf' files. As this is only meaningful for 'foc',
I did not want to include it in the list of regular repositories (as
visible in a 'x86_32' build directory). Hence, the repository must
now be manually added in order to use L4Linux.
Issue #2190
This patch removes the manually maintained symbol map from the dynamic
linker. This way, the symbol map stays in sync with the ABI and - more
importantly - no longer uses wildcards. So the symbols exported by the
dynamic linker are strictly limited by the ABI.
Issue #2190
Previously, if a packet should be routed to a domain that had no interface
connected, the NIC router only printed "Unroutable packet". Technically,
this was wrong as an unavailable interface doesn't mean that the routing
failed. Now it gives an error "no interface connected to domain".
