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
Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like vim to edit init
configurations dynamically, which alleviates the need for a custom CLI.
The CLI-monitor component was too limited for use cases like Sculpt
anyway.
The patch also removes the ancient (and untested for long time)
terminal_mux.run script, which used to be the only remaining user of the
CLI monitor.
Issue #3512
This driver manually checks if the RAM quota is big enough for the
Lan9118 nic session component. The problem is Root_component::_create
from which Root_component::_create_session gets called does already
check this. No need to account for it twice.
Fixes#3514
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.
Moving the handling into the input-session clients enables more
sophisticated implementations (like Qt5) to apply key-symbol based
handling of those modifiers like correct CTRL-A with QWERTY and AZERTY
layouts and distinction of CTRL-J and Return.
Issue #3483
The API still exports 32-bit address and size values only, which works
as the actual MMIO resources are allocated in platform_drv internally.
Fixes#3494
Map ACPI tables entirely as one dataspaces (not page-by-page). Note, the
current approach does only merge overlapping but not consecutive I/O
memory regions, which would reduce the amount of capabilities required
even further.
Fixes#3495
With the added modification-time support in the libc, the extract tool
requires a timer session, which is not plausible for the purpose of the
program.
This behavior stems from the fact that the libc implicitly writes the
mtime when closing a written file. For this update, it implicitly calls
'clock_gettime', which in turn initializes the timer subsystem within
the libc (creating a timer session).
For the extract tool, the implicitly updated mtime is useless because
the extract tool overwrites this modification time with the mtime stored
in the archive anyway. However, the dependency from a timer service
remains.
This patch explicitly disables the libc's implicit updating of the
file-modification when closing a written file.
Issue #1784
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.
Issue #1784
... and set initial time by using RTC session.
Up to now Noux used a monotic clock whose initial start value always
was '0' (which correlates to the start of the UNIX epoch) to provide
a notion of time. In addition it is now possible to use the RTC
session to set the initial value for use cases where having a proper
real-world time matters.
To use the RTC session the 'rtc' attribute of the '<config>' node
must be set to 'yes'. Thereby the session becomes a mandatory
dependency as Noux will not start without it.
Issue #1784
This patch complements the commit "libc: execve" with the ability to
execute files stored at arbitrary sub directories of the file system.
Issue #3481
Issue #3500
This patch removes ldso's builtin policy of removing any path elements
prepending the ROM module name. Instead, the ROM name is used as is.
This clears the way to access different ROM modules that share the same
name but are stored at different directories behind an fs_rom (e.g.,
/bin/bash vs. /usr/local/bin/bash).
Issue #3500
This patch replaces the naive dup2 implementation (that merely
duplicated the context pointer) by the replication of the original
FD state by re-opening the same file with the same flags and seek
position. This prevents a potential double release of the VFS handle
(the FD context). It also implements 'dup'.

- Eliminate call of global libc_config()
- Remove dynamic memory allocation, const cast
- Prepare for moving the state from compilation unit to header
- Fix run/libc_getpwent.run
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.
Issue #3497
- readv_writev: move 'rw_lock' instance into a function scope,
constructing the instance on the first access.
- select: move 'select_cb_list' instance into function scope.
- thread: move 'key_list_lock' and 'keys' into function scope.
- rwlock, semaphore, socket_fs_plugin, thread, thread_create:
instantiate 'Libc::Allocator' per use, alleviating the need for a
global instance.
Issue #3496
Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket
control files at the VFS. Add an "address" and "netmask" file to the
lwIP plugin.
Only a single IPv4 address is initially supported, and the broadcast
address returned will never be valid.
Fixes#3439
This adds complete character-generator configurations for English (US),
German (Germany and Switzerland), and French (France and Switzerland).
The configs are manually amended and stripped-down versions of
xkb2ifcfg generated configs.
Issue #3483
The Press event is actually a Press_char event with a default codepoint.
The default codepoint is now
Codepoint { Codepoint::INVALID } /* value 0xfffe */
in contrast to
Codepoint { Input::Event::INVALID } /* value 0 */
Issue #3483
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
The allocation of regions within the linker area is normally left to the
best-fit 'Allocator_avl', which happens to populate the linker area
starting with the binary followed by all loaded libraried with no gaps
in between.
When replacing the binary during execve, however, we need to ensure that
the new binary does not conflict with any library that stays resident
during execve. This patch tweaks the linker's region allocation scheme
such that these libraries are placed at the end of the linker area.
Issue #3481
This patch extends the interface of the dynamic linker with the ability
to replace the running binary executable by another one. It is
designated for the implementation of execve. The interface consists of
two new functions.
'Dynamic_linker::keep' marks the specified shared object as unloadable.
This can be used to pin a set of libraries (i.e., the libc) within the
local address space while replacing the binary and other higher-level
libraries.
'Dynamic_linker::respawn' unloads the current binary, loads the one
specifed as first argument, and looks up the entry point symbol of the
new binary, which would be "main" for POSIX programs.
In addition to implementing the new interface, the patch adjusts the
linker at various places that previously assumed the binary to be
constant over runtime.
Issue #3481
This patch is a follow-up commit for "ld: load dynamic linker at static
address on Linux". It suppresses the stderr output of 'dd' when marking
the ELF binary as executable.
Issue #3479
This patch enables the fork.run script to run on base-linux. It should
be regarded as an interim solution, however, because the randomization
performed by the Linux kernel may still - by chance - produce a
situation where one of the libc's malloc heap regions intersects with
another dataspace dynamically attached to the child.
The better solution would be to make the 'Region_map_mmap'
implementation not depend on the kernel's allocation policy by using a
locally implemented allocator.
Issue #3478
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'.
