Normally, the platform driver helpers adapt the global run variables directly
via append. But the introduction of a more elegant run script style, that
incorporates dependent strings inline may be a good idea. Thus, we need the
backends of the helpers available as functions that return their string rather
than appending it.
The old interface still exists and uses the new interface as backend.
Ref #2193
The 'server_ip' and 'server_port' attributes for 'lxip/udp_client' and
'lwip/http_clnt' as well as the 'port' attribute for 'lxip/udp_echo' and
'lwip/http_srv_static' are not directly libc-related so they should not
live in the libc tag but in the config tag of the component.
Ref #2193
This patch enhances init with the support for rewriting session labels
in the target node of a matching session route. For example, a Noux
instance may have the following session route for the "home" file
system:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs"/>
</service>
...
</route>
At the rump_fs file-system server, the label of the file-system session
will appear as "noux -> home". This information may be evaluated by
rump_fs's server-side policy. However, when renaming the noux instance,
we'd need to update this server-side policy.
With the new mechanism, the client's identity can be hidden from the
server. The label could instead represent the role of the client, or a
name of a physical resource. For example, the Noux route could be
changed to this:
<route>
<service name="File_system" label="home">
<child name="rump_fs" label="primary_user"/>
</service>
...
</route>
When the rump_fs receives the session request, it is presented with the
label "primary_user". The fact that the client is "noux" is not taken
into account for the server-side policy selection.
Issue #2248
The new return value of 'resolve_session_request' allows the child
policy to define the label used as the policy selector at the server.
Because this patch introduces the distinction of the child-provided
label from the label as presented to the server along with the session
request, the latter is now handled as a dedicated 'Session_state'
argument.
Issue #2248
This commit includes changes to the Nic::Session_component interface.
We now pass the entire env to the component instead of only ram, rm and
the ep because we need the env to open connections from within the
Session_component implemenation. So far only the cadence_gem driver
needs this, though.
Issue #2280.
Libc components cannot use regular calls to select() as this may suspend
their execution. In this case incoming RPCs will be deferred until
select() returns and the component returns to the entrypoint dispatch
loop. The Libc::Signal_handler solves this problem with a its select()
that either returns the currently ready file descriptors immediately or
calls the registered handler function during libc resume.
Now, the libc kernel supports to execute application code from all RPC
functions not only Component::construct(). This is enabled by the
Libc::with_libc() scope function.
This commit extends an easy-to-use mechanism to allow Genode component
code to enter/leave the libc application context. This is needed
whenever low-level component code (like signal handlers or RPC
functions) need to interact with potentially blocking libc I/O
functions.
Please note that this commit contains the API-level design only. The
actual context switching code 'execute_in_application_context' is
missing.
The socket file system can be configured in the "socket" attribute of
the libc config node like follows.
<vfs> <dir name="socket"> <fs/> </dir> </vfs>
<libc ... socket="/socket"/>
This configures the socket file system libc backend to access files in
"/socket" for socket operations.
There existed a race when 'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal' is called form
a RPC context, because the 'signal_proxy' or 'main' will block and the
signal semaphore, when the EP then calls 'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal',
the signal proxy is woken up ands sends an RPC to the EP, leading to a
dead lock if no further signal arrive, because the EP will then remain
blocked in the signal semaphore.
Therefore, for this case, the signal proxy will now perform a semaphore
up operation and does not perform an RPC if the EP is within
'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal'.
This patch enhances init with the ability to route individual
environment sessions. Prior this patch, environment sessions could be
routed only by an all-encompassing '<service>' node that would match
both child-initiated and environment sessions.
In contrast to the existing 'label', 'label_prefix', and 'label_suffix'
attributes of '<service>' nodes, which are always scoped with ther name
of the corresponding child, the 'unscoped_label' allows the definition
of routing rules for all session requests, including init's requests for
the child's environment sessions. For example, to route the ROM session
requests for a child's dynamic linker, the following route would match:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so"> ... </service>
</route>
Issue #2215
When a directory gets destructed it dissolves the handles of each contained file
but the acknowledgement might be still in-flight. If we finally receive it,
it leads to an Unknown_id exception on the Handles ID Space in 'handle_ack'.
Now we catch it, print a warning, and go on.
This patch adds the handling of 'CHARACTER' events as emitted by the
input-filter's character generator (<chargen>). To avoid interpreting
press/release events twice (at the input filter and by the terminal's
built-in scancode tracker), the terminal's scancode tracker can be
explicitly disabled via <config> <keyboard layout="none"/> </config>.
In the future, the terminal's built-in scancode tracker will be
removed.
The use of the terminal with the input filter is illustrated by the
'terminal_echo.run' script.
Issue #2264
The input_filter is the successor of the input_merger. In addition to
merging input streams, the component applies several forms of input
transformations such as the application of keyboard layouts.
Issue #2264
Character events are created via a dedicated 'Event' constructor that
takes an 'Event:Utf8' object as argument. Internally, the character is
kept in the '_code' member. The 'Utf8' value can by retrieved by the
recipient via the new 'utf8' method.

A Signal_handler may schedule a hook function that is executed after the
signal handler returned. This can be used if the hook function may
trigger a (nested) signal handler by means of
wait_and_dispatch_one_signal(). Otherwise, an occurrence of the same
signal that triggered the original signal handler results in a dead lock
just before calling the nested handler (due to the Signal_context
destruction lock).
The read-ready packet informs the server that the client wants to be
notified if a handle becomes readable. When becoming readable, the
server acknowledges packet and the client may queue a read requests
accordingly.
The i.MX53 Framebuffer driver doesn't come up on on Fiasco.OC because the Platform
driver isn't allowed to access essential devises like the SRC or the Fuses. This is
most likely due to the kernel not configuring the CSU appropriately.

broken due to changes of
libc: API transition
Issue #1987
For now provide a initial memory buffer for allocation of static
constructors and of malloc calls out of the libc during early
libc initialization until actual vbox code is executed having the Env
pointer.
This change introduces a Genode specific init function, which sets the
backend allocator used by jent_zalloc/zfree(). As consequence the
library can solely be used by native Genode components, direct libc
usage is not supported.
Fixes#2274.
Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap
the kernel resp. core.

This hook allows the export of the allocator's state by a derrived
class. I.e., the final state of the allocator used for bootstrapping
core.
Ref #2092
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.

This function returns the information whether the used platform relies

we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).

Instead, print an explicit warning in front of the detach call.
Cleaning up LWIP when returning from the main function sporadically

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.
