In case a driver is waiting for data, is should only investigate 'pos'.
It should not advance the ring in any way until there is data available.
issue #4609
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.
Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!
With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.
Fixes#4603
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.

Issue #4584
The NIC router used to send an ICMP "Destination Unreachable" packet as
response to every unroutable IPv4 packet. However, RFC 1812 section 4.3.2.7
defines certain properties that must be fullfilled by an incoming packet in
order to be answered with this type of ICMP. One requirement is that the packet
is no IPv4 multicast.
This commit prevents sending the mentioned ICMP response for unroutable IPv4
multicasts and instead drops them silently.

In overload situations, i.e. when a sender fills up the entire buffer, we land
in situations where the sender receives an ack_avail signal, releases one
packet, allocates and sends a packet and fails to allocate a second packet.
This is especially relevant if the receiver does not batch ack_avail signals
(such as vfs_lwip). In those ping-pong scheduling scenarios, the overhead from
catching the Packet_alloc_failed exception becomes significant. In case of the
NIC router, we will land in an overload situation if the sender is faster than
the receiver. The packet buffer will be filled up at some point and the NIC
router starts to drop packets. For every dropped packet, we currently have to
catch the Packet_alloc_failed exception.
This commit adds a new method alloc_packet_attempt to Packet_stream_source that
has almost the same signature as the older alloc_packet method but returns
an Attempt<Packet_descriptor, Alloc_packet_error> object. As the method already
used the allocator back end exception-less, changes on lower levels were not
needed. Furthermore, the NIC router was modified to use the new exception-less
alloc_packet_attempt instead of alloc_packet.

The checksums for forwarded/routed UDP, TCP and ICMP, used to be always

The goal is to improve router performance.

The wakeup call only emits a single signal as it assumed both are

did not reset the wakeup_needed variable properly.
genodelabs/genode#4555
When using signal batching, ack_avail and packet_avail should always
be emitted and preferred over ready_to_submit and ready_to_ack.
A signal receiver might decide to not register the ready_to_* signals when it
handles congestion by dropping packets. The Nic router is an example of
such a signal receiver.

There is a race between the trace subject doing the buffer
initialization and the monitor trying to iterate the buffer entries. If
the monitor tries to iterate entries of an uninitialized buffer, it will
read the very first entry twice. The monitor should therefore only start
iteration when the buffer has been initialised.

* Adds methods for copying raw data to the data field of Ethernet frames and

* Adds a method to cast raw data to an IPv4 packet. This is required in the
port in order to check values in stand-alone IP packets produced by the
contrib code before sending them at a network session.
* Adds methods for setting UDP ports given big endian port values without
having to convert to little endian in the app and then back to big endian in

Instead of returning an invalid device capability when a device
is (not yet) available, e.g. a PCI device is requested before the
PCI bus got parsed accordingly, we check the device capability
within the Platform::Connection utilities, and register temporarily
an Io_signal_handler to wait for changes of the devices ROM, and
try the device aquisition again. Thereby, simple drivers so not have
to take the burden to do so.
To enable this feature for all drivers, we always have to export a
devices ROM, but limit the information about physical resources
(I/O memory addresses, IRQ numbers, I/O port ranges) to clients with
'info=yes' in their policy description.

To discharge the generic platform driver from certain PCI bus scanning,

XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

The new event type allows for the propagation of sequence numbers as a means to
validate the freshness of input handling. E.g., an menu-view-based application

number in its hover reports, thereby enabling the application to robustly
correlate hover results with click positions.

The 'read' and 'write' utilities are from a time before the VFS API

a way to exfiltrate the statistical data using a channel that is

Override 'try_alloc/free' because ethernet frame headers are 14 bytes
(src/dst mac (12) + ethertype (2)) causing the IP header to be 2 byte
aligned, leading to problems on platforms that require load/store
operations to be naturally aligned when reading, for example, 4 byte IP
addresses. Therefore, we align the allocation to 2 bytes, so the IP
header is aligned to 4.
issue #4312
The key changes in this patch are:
* Buffer allocation is moved into a separate Buffer_pool helper. The
implementation of the buffer allocation strategy does not change.
The helper allocates a single RAM dataspace and splits it in multiple,
equally sized chunks.
* Management of main descriptor ring is enacapsulated in Descriptor_ring
helper class.
* Use separate RAM dataspaces for descriptor rings and buffers.
Previously both of them were packed into a single dataspace. This
might have been more RAM efficient, but IMO it made the code uglier and
harder to understand.
* All of the VirtIO::Queue members are now initialized on the class member
initializer list. This is possible due to previously listed changes.
* Since all VirtIO::Queue members are initalized on member initalizer
list, some additional ones can be marked as const, ex _avail, _used ring
pointers.
* Move descriptor writing code into a common method used by both
write_data and write_data_read_reply members. This avoids some code
duplication between those methods.
* Get rid of request_irq argument that most public VirtIO::Queue methods
accept. None of the existing drivers use it and I doubt this will
change any time soon.
* Use Genode namespace by default in Virtio.
This patch also fixes at least one bug that I discovered while working
on VirtIO block device driver. Namely, when chaining descriptors only the
first descriptor in the chain should be exposed in the available ring.
Issue #4347
The const-variant of the data() method contained an erroneous
calculation of the tail size. This led to the size guard throwing

Fixesgenodelabs/genode#4340
Thanks to Piotr Tworek for the fix and his explanation as follows:
The basic idea is to try to fit payload data into the descriptor used to
send the header. If there is no payload, or the payload fits exactly
into the remaining space in the header decriptor, len should be 0 and
only one descriptor should be used. In such case the "next" and "flags"
members of the descriptor structure should be set to 0.
In case there is some extra payload data to send, but its size is
bigger than the remaining free space in the descriptor used to send the
header, len should contain the remaining size of the payload that
can't be sent via the header descriptor. The code will then chain
additional descriptors to handle this remainder.
With the len variable shadowing, the code will never queue the remaining
data.
Issue #4327
Some more advanced devices like VirtIO GPU do expect they can receive
responses to VirtIO commands they issue via VirtIO queue. Such responses
are not sent via a separate device writeable queue. Instead the driver
is expected to queue some additional descriptors and buffers which the
device can then use to provide the reply.
This patch adds support for such write-data-read-response opeartion to
Genode VirtIO::Queue implementation. The implementation is pretty simple
and does not support any fancy features like receiving the response
asynchronously. Instead the operation will use caller provided callback
to wait for the device to process the command. Once this callback
returns the write-data-read-response VirtIO::Queue function will invoke
another callback passing received response as argument.
Mesa queries information about the underlying device and this header
denotes the layout of the information. It is also used by the driver
itself to populate the 'info_dataspace'.
Issue #4329.
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
The new interfaces are meant to gradually replace the existing
Gpio_session interface.
- Each session refers to a single pin.
- The session types distiguish the direction of the signal as input or
output.
- Pin coordinates can be selected via session labels.
- GPIO interrupts are covered by the regular IRQ session interface.
The interfaces are accompanied by framework utilities and interfaces:
- os/pin_driver.h
- pin_control_session/component.h
- pin_state_session/component.h
These headers relieve GPIO drivers from implementing boilerplate code by
providing device-agnostic portions. The A64 pio driver serves as
reference for using those utilities.

Allocating and mapping buffers not only consumes RAM quota, it consumes
CAP quota as well. Extended the Gpu session to allow for dealing with
that on the client side.
On a side note, the amount of initial CAP quota needed to establish

GPU multiplexer.

clipboard ROM service on focus change via the newly created private

The various mapping methods are modelled after the requirements of
the Intel GPUs or rather the Mesa driver back end.
With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to
sequeeze their requirements in as well. For now hijack 'map_buffer'
to provide for specifying the kind of attributes the client needs.
For now all buffers mapped in the GGTT for Intel GPUs are treated
as RW.
Issue #4265.
This call allows for checking if the given execution buffer has been
completed and complements the completion signal. Initially the GPU
multiplexer always sent such a signal when the currently scheduled
execution buffer has been completed. During enablement of the 'iris'
driver it became necessary to properly check of sequence number.
In case of the Intel GPU multiplexer the sequence numbers are
continous, which prompted the greater-than-or-equal check in the
DRM back end. By hidding this implementation detail behind the
interface, GPU drivers are free to deal with sequence numbers any
way they like and allows for polling in the client, where the
completion signal is now more of a progress signal.
Issue #4265.
The current info implementation (as RPC) is limited in a few ways:
* The amount of data that may be transferred is constrained by the
underlying base platform
* Most information never changes during run time but is copied
nonetheless
* The information differs depending on the used GPU device and
in its current implementation only contains Intel GPU specific
details
With this commit the 'info' RPC call is replaced with the
'info_dataspace' call that transfers the capability for the dataspace
containing the information only. This is complemented by a client
local 'attached_info' call that allows for getting typed access to
the information. The layout of the information is moved to its own
and GPU-specific header file, e.g., 'gpu/info_intel.h'
