issue #3568
This is important to issue sync requests for written-to files.
As the closing must be performed by an atexit handler, it happens at a
time _after_ libc plugins are destructed. Consequently an FD allocated
by such a plugin results in a close error, which in turn, does not
destruct the FD. We ultimatedly end up in an infinte loop of
re-attempting the close. For this reason, the patch changes 'close' to
be robust against this special case.
This is generally not a problem because libc plugins are phased out.
However, at present, the libc_noux plugin is still important. With the
changed 'close' in place, there occurred an error message "Error: close:
close not implemented" at the exit of each noux program. This patch
removes the error printing from the libc plugin mechansim to avoid this
noise. The error messages are not important anyway because the
deprecation of the libc plugin interface.

The getpeername function is provided only by the socket fs.

- Close FDs marked with the close-on-execve flag
(needed for 'make', which sets the flag for the pipe-in
FD of forked children)
- Update binary name on execve to use as ROM for subsequent fork
- Enable vfork as an alias for fork (needed by make)
- Purge line buffers for output streams during execve because they
may be allocated at the allocation heap, which does not survive
the execve call.
- Consider short-lived processes that may exit while the parent still
blocks in the fork call.
With these changes, the website generator of genodians.org works without
the need for the Noux runtime.

Add a new plugin for creating pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It is
intended to replace the libc_pipe plugin, one of the last remaining libc
plugins.
In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, this plugin defers cross-handle
notification until I/O signal handling rather than block and unblock
readers using a semaphore. This is a performance regression in the case
of multiple threads blocking on a pipe, but shall be an intermediate
mechanism pending renovations within the libc VFS and threading layers.
As a side effect, threads blocked on a pipe might not be resumed until
the main thread suspends and dispatches I/O signals.
The "test-libc_pipe" test has been adjusted to use the VFS pipe plugin
and tests both local pipes and pipes hosted remotely in the VFS server.

interface changes) by Norman Feske.
Fix#2303
This patch reduces the debug noise for the prominent case of executing
bash with coreutils. Without it, the forked process will always ask for
more RAM immediately when starting up.
This patch improves the libc's write operation to iterate on partial
writes to continuous files until the original write count is reached.
The split of large write operations into small partial writes as
dictated by the VFS infrastructure (e.g., constained by I/O buffer
sizes) becomes invisible to the libc-using application.

This adds two new boolean attributes to the <report> tag of the NIC router
configuration 'link_state' and 'link_state_triggers'. The former decides
whether to report the link state of each NIC interface (downlink, uplinks) at
the NIC router. The other decides whether to trigger reporting each time the
link state of an interface changes.
Fixes#3527
This patch introduces a new scheme of handling ioctl operations that
maps ioctls to pseudo-file accesses, similar to how the libc maps socket
calls to socket-fs operations.
A device file can be accompanied with a (hidden) directory that is named
after the device file and hosts pseudo files for triggering the various
device operations. For example, for accessing a terminal, the directory
structure looks like this:
/dev/terminal
/dev/.terminal/info
The 'info' file contains device information in XML format. The type of
the XML node corresponds to the device type. E.g., If the libc receives
a 'TIOCGWINSZ' ioctl for /dev/terminal, it reads the content of
/dev/.terminal/info to obtain the terminal-size information. In this
case, the 'info' file looks as follows:
<terminal rows="25" columns="80/>
Following this scheme, VFS plugins can support ioctl operations by
providing an ioctl directory in addition to the actual device file.
Internally, the mechanism uses the 'os/vfs.h' API to access pseudo
files. Hence, we need to propagate the Vfs::Env to 'vfs_plugin.cc' to
create an instance of a 'Directory' for the root for the VFS.
Issue #3519
The run script used to be the only user of the fatfs_fs server, which
we're going to remove. This patch removes the components for accessing a
real storage device and file system from the run script. The new version
just uses ram_fs.
Issue #3512
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
By specifying <libc update_mtime="no"...>, the modification-time update
on VFS-sync operations (as issued whenever a written file is closed)
can explicitly be disabled.

This patch replaces the naive dup2 implementation (that merely

Issue #3497
This patch unifies the patterns of using the 'Genode' and 'Libc'
namespaces.
Types defined in the 'internal/' headers reside in the 'Libc'
namespace. The code in the headers does not need to use the
'Libc::' prefix.
Compilation units import the 'Libc' namespace after the definition of
local types. Local types reside in the 'Libc' namespace (and should
eventually move to an 'internal/' header).
Since the 'Libc' namespace imports the 'Genode' namespace, there is
no need to use the 'Genode::' prefix. Consequently, code in the
compilation units rarely need to qualify the 'Genode' or 'Libc'
namespaces.
There are a few cases where the 'Libc', the 'Genode', and the global
(libc) namespaces are ambigious. In these cases, an explicit
clarification is needed:
- 'Genode::Allocator' differs from 'Libc::Allocator'.
- 'Genode::Env' differs from 'Libc::Env'.
- Genode's string functions (strcmp, memcpy, strcpy) conflict
with the names of the (global) libc functions.
- There exist both 'Genode::uint64_t' and the libc'c 'uint64_t'.
Issue #3497
This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.
The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.
The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.
There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.

Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket

Fixes#3439
This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc.
The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the
loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc -
intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc
internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a
heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g.,
libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to
any memory object allocated from the malloc heap.
Issue #3481
This patch extends the fork test with explicit checks for the cloned
content of the heap and RW segment as well as the seek position of an
open file descriptor. It adds the new libports/run/fork.run script
that exercises the fork mechanism implemented by the libc. It is based
on noux_fork.run, which tests the mechansim provided by noux. The
test program has been moved from ports to libports.
Issue #3478
The libc already supports the configuration of 'stdin', 'stdout', and
'stderr' using '<libc>' config attributes. This patch equips the libc
with the additional ability to pre-initialize any other file descriptor.
A file descriptor is configured as follows:
<config>
...
<libc ...>
<fd id="3" path="/dev/log" writeable="yes" readable="no" seek="10"/>
...
</libc>
</config>
Furthermore, this patch moves the FD initialization code from the VFS
plugin to the libc kernel initialization because opening the FDs
depends on 'malloc' ('strdup'), which should not be used at early
'Libc::Kernel' initialization time.
Issue #3478
This patch replaces the former use of an Allocator_avl with the Id_space
utility, which is safer to use and allows for the iteration of all
elements. The iteration over open file descriptors is needed for
implementing 'fork'.

Issue #3450
On Fujitsu S936, evaluating the _BIF method on each battery-info update
successively increased the RAM usage, while _BST (dynamic battery
status) and _STA (generic status) did not show this behavior. Therefore
this commit retrieves only dynamic information periodically (resp. on
SCI IRQ). Now, acpica hast static RAM usage in idle state for 24+ hours.
The root cause for the increased RAM usage is still shady. While it
could just be normal that it grows until a certain yet unknown limit,
there may also be memory leak in contrib code or some strange AML on the
designated notebook.

This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,

As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
This patch removes the blocking Block::Session::sync RPC function and
adds the asynchronous operations SYNC and TRIM to the block session's
packet-stream interface.
Even though the patch adjusts all block components to the interface
change, the components keep the former blocking handling of sync
internally for now because of the design of the 'Block::Driver'
interface. This old interface is not worth changing. We should instead
migrate the block servers step by step to the new
'Block::Request_stream' API.
Fixes#3274
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
This patch removes the reliance of the extract tool from the libc's
behavior regarding the access of time and timing.
The extract tool is not expected to need time. However, unfortunately,
libarchive calls the 'time' function unconditionally. By adding a
dummy for 'time', we avoid bothering the libc, which would otherwise
need to obtain a time source.
Issue #3204
In the original version, I used 'number_of_bits' because Ada's 'Size
returns the size in bits, not bytes. But the values (for objects) are
always a multiple of 8. On the C++ side, performing size checks at the
granularity of bits is just awkward. The term 'object size' is more
natural.
By adding a wildcard at the beginning of (expected) error messages, the
test.run tool becomes able to match the lines (ignoring the characters
of the color escape sequence).
The "nameserver" file cannot be opened through a VFS File_system client
if the plugin does not support opening the parent directory of
"/nameserver", which would be "/".
Ref #3269
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.

The "Vfs::Vfs_handle" type should not contain any public members that

lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.
