_unmap_dataspace_ggtt requires the cap of Ggtt::Mapping (ring_map, ctx_map)
in order to find the right metadata and to free up the ggtt entries. Also the
pte range is removed already if the metadata was found.

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
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
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
Adds try-catch-statement with diagnostic errors in Dhcp_server::free_ip in
order to guard against exceptions from the underlying bit allocator. These
exceptions should never happen given that the router is programmed correctly
and always feeds Dhcp_server::free_ip with sane arguments (which it should).
However, should this not be the case, we can assume that the failed IP freeing
indicates that the IP isn't allocated anyway and it's fine to continue using
the router. Furthermore, IP allocations are a mere client service and not
relevant for the integrity or safety of the router.
Ref #4200
When Interface::handle_config_3 (third step of applying a new configuration to
interfaces) tried to detach the interface from the current IP config because
the old and new IP config differed, it did so using the new domain. The former
steps of the reconfiguration already installed the new domain reference at the
interface. Therefore, also the DHCP server of the new domain was used. This,
however caused uncaught exceptions because detaching from an IP config
includes dissolving all DHCP allocations. This dissolving of DHCP allocations
now operated on a DHCP server (the one of the new domain) that wasn't related
to the allocations and, in the worst case, caused an uncaught exception
because the IPs were out of its range.
That said, this commit ensures that detaching an interface from an IP config
is always done on the domain from which the IP config originated. Normally,
this is the domain the interface is attached to. But in the case of
Interface::handle_config_3, it is another - the former domain the interface
was attached to.
The commit also adapts the nic_router_dhcp_* tests in a way that they
reconfigure the router in a way that would trigger the uncaught exception
without the fix.

Enable watching files via the inotify interface of the Linux Kernel.
Delivery of watches to components is staggered in order to prevent an
overflow of the ACK queue in cases when a lot of changes are made to the
file system from the Linux side.
Fixes#4070
A reset domain can consist of one or several reset-pins
denoted by name that are assigned to a device.
When the device gets acquired via the Platform RPC API,
the pins are de-asserted, and asserted again when the
device gets released.
A configuration looks like the following:
<device name="mipi_dsi>
<reset-domain name="mipi_dsi_pclk"/>
...
</device>
Fixes#4171
Introduces the notion of a transaction that consists of one or more
messages. Whereby a message has a read or write direction and consists
of one or more bytes.

Report via platform_info the capabilities of the kernel, e.g. ACPI and MSI.
With the commit the try-catch pattern on IRQ session creation by the platform
driver is avoided.
Issue #4016
When a DHCP packet is printed out, it first tries to determine the most
specific message type from the DHCP options and print its human-readable name
right after the protocol name. If finding the message type fails, the less
specific opcode is printed instead, but also in a human-readable way.
Fixes#4131
This commit introduces a fix for lx_fs to propagate errno EEXIST error.
This prevents vfs <import overwrite="false"> to overwrite an imported
file, if it already exists, without the overwrite flag set to true.
Issue genodelabs#4104
With the update to GCC 10 the compiler used to warn when using the internet
checksum functions on packet classes (like in
Net::Ipv4_packet::update_checksum):
warning: converting a packed ‘Net::[PACKET_CLASS]’ pointer
(alignment 1) to a ‘const uint16_t’ {aka ‘const short
unsigned int’} pointer (alignment 2) may result in an
unaligned pointer value
Apparently, the 'packed' attribute normally used on packet classes sets the
alignment of the packet class to 1. However, for the purpose of the
internet-checksum functions, we can assume that the packet data has no
alignment. This is expressed by casting the packet-object pointer to a pointer
of the new packed helper struct 'Packed_uint16' that contains only a single
uint16_t member before handing it over to the checksum function (instead of
casting it to a uint16_t pointer).
Ref #4109
The NAT feature of the NIC router used to prefer re-using source ports that
have been freed recently. From an external server's perspective, if a client
dies and restarts, chances are high that the new connect arrives with the same
source-IP/source-port as the old connection. The server has to forcefully reset
the connection. If that happens a lot, the server may even start to ignore
further connections from this IP/port combination for a while as a mitigation.
This patch adds a continuous counter feature that makes sure that every new
port allocation will increment and result in a port that hasn't been used for a
long time.
The NAT feature of the nic_router is now more in line with RFC 6056 chapter 4.

KEY_UNKNOWN is a collective symbols for all unknown keycodes.
Remapping thus requires iterating through all corresponding codes
instead of only applying the policy to the first match.
Issue genodelabs#4069
* The device XML information dataspace is only provided,
when the client's policy states `info="yes"`
* The device XM information gets changed to include the
physical resource names (I/O memory and IRQ addresses)
instead of virtual ids and page offset
Fix#4077
This API rework eases the access to memory-mapped I/O registers and
interrupts when using the platform driver. It introduces the notions of
- Platform::Device - one device obtained from a platform session
- Platform::Device::Mmio - locally-mapped MMIO registers of a device
- Platform::Device::Irq - interface for receiving device interrupts
The patch touches several drivers. Some drivers would require a
significant structural change to adopt the new API (e.g., net/virtio,
dde_linux drivers, imx gpio). In these cases, the patch adds
compatibility shims meant to be temporary. In other cases (e.g., imx
i2c), the adaptation was simple enough to carry through.
Fixes#4075
These messages pollute the boot log of Sculpt OS when ROM modules are
requested for files of the config fs before the sculpt manager has
created their first version.
