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
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
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.
Issue #2264
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.
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 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
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 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'.

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

Both methods are now available for Ipv4_address as well as for
Ipv4_address_prefix. An IPv4 address is invalid if it contains zeros only.
An IPv4 address prefix is invalid if its address is invalid and its
prefix is 32.
Ref #2139
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.
Issue #2120
This is a redesign of the root and parent interfaces to eliminate
blocking RPC calls.
- New session representation at the parent (base/session_state.h)
- base-internal root proxy mechanism as migration path
- Redesign of base/service.h
- Removes ancient 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature
- Interface change of 'Child', 'Child_policy', 'Slave', 'Slave_policy'
- New 'Slave::Connection'
- Changed child-construction procedure to be compatible with the
non-blocking parent interface and to be easier to use
- The child's initial LOG session, its binary ROM session, and the
linker ROM session have become part of the child's envirenment.
- Session upgrading must now be performed via 'env.upgrade' instead
of performing a sole RPC call the parent. To make RAM upgrades
easier, the 'Connection' provides a new 'upgrade_ram' method.
Issue #2120
- use the correct memory free functions on errors

In other contexts (IPv4) 'calc_checksum' merely returns a new checksum that is

Issue #2060
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

Conveying the ROM filename as the final label element simplifies
routing policy and session construction.
Annotations by nfeske:
This commit also changes the ROM session to use base/log.h instead of
base/printf.h, which produced build error of VirtualBox because the
vbox headers have a '#define Log', which collides with the content of
base/log.h. Hence, this commit has to take precautions to resolve this
conflict.
The commit alse refines the previous session-label change by adding a
new 'Session_label::prefix' method and removing the use of 'char const *'
from this part of the API.

Allocating a packet in the packet stream without a payload is not
allowed. Therefore we have to allocate CTRL message packets, that do
not have a payload, with a bogus length instead.
This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
