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
The log plugin can now be configured to request a log session with the
specified label like follows.
<log label="..."/>
Per default, no new log session is requested but the existing log
session of the component's environment is used.
The heap typically first tries to allocate larger chunks than necessary, and
if it fails the actual minimal one. The first attempt already triggers warnings
which are not critical at all. If the second (critical) allocation fails,
then there are additionally checks and warnings already in place.

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.

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
This data structure is meant as a safe alternative for a list wherever
the list is solely used to remember objects and iterate through them in
an unspecified order. One use case is the 'Service_registry'.
This data structure allows the association of objects with IDs. IDs are
kept in an AVL tree. So in contrast to a bit allocator, the ID space can be
sparsely populated and does not need to be dimensioned. The lifetime of
an ID is bound to an 'Element' object, which relieves the programmer
from manually allocating/deallocating IDs for objects.
Issue #2120
We preserve lower RAM for device drivers with physical memory

VirtualBox mainly derives the initial link-state for its device models
from checking the <Adapter ... cable="true"/> attribute. Our backend
only propagates the current state of the Nic session if it receives a
link-state signal. This may lead to problems if a guest detects a link
up state when it is actually down and wants to use the interface. The
backend now queries the Nic session and sets the link-state accordingly
when it is constructed.
In case there is no link do not attempt to submit a packet to the packet
stream but return with an error so that upper layers can handle it.
Enable signals for network on poweron and not already during
construction. The network model may be not yet ready to process incoming

This patch is a preparation of the forthcoming async parent interface.
Note that this patch increases the size of connection objects.
Furthermore it adds a diagnostic message whenever a connection fails.
Issue #2166
Because of the session-argument buffering added to 'Connection' objects
when changing the parent interface to be non-blocking, the
'Device_component' has grown in size from 1.5 KiB to 5 KiB. The slab
allocator was configured with a block size of 4 KiB. So it does not work
with the grown 'Device_component' size.
Once the transition to the new API is completed (when we can remove the
buffering of session arguments from the 'Connection' objects), we may
revert this change.
Issue #2120
Unfortunately, the volatile object does not inherit the noncopyable

interface. The patch removes the use of feature in all places except for
the components of the demo repository, which will under go a redesign

This overload covers the common case for initializing a string from a
literal without employing the 'Output' mechanism. This way, such
strings can by constructed without calling virtual functions, which in
turn makes the 'String' usable for the 'init_rtld' phase of the dynamic
linker.
This patch fixes a race condition triggered by the thread test running
on Linux inside VirtualBox. The 'test_stack_alloc' sporadically produced
one of two errors: A segfault in the 'Thread::deinit_platform_thread' on
the attempt to access the 'native_thread' of the to-be-destructed thread
(this data structure is located on the thread's stack). Or, an error
message about a region conflict within the stack area.
The problem was that two instances of 'Region_map_mmap' issued a
sequence of munmap and mmap each. Even though each instance locked the
attach/detach operations, the lock was held per instance. In a situation
where two instances performed attach/detach operations in parallel, the
syscall sequences could interfere with each other.
In the test scenario, the two region-map instances are the test's
address space and the stack area. When creating a thread, the thread's
trace-control dataspace is attached at an arbitrary place (picked by
the Linux kernel) within the address space whereas the stack is attached
at the stack area. The problem is the following sequence:
Thread A wants to destruct a thread:
1. Remove stack from stack area
(issue unmap syscall)
2. Preserve virtual address range that was occupied from the stack
so that Linux won't use it
(issue mmap syscall)
Thread B wants to construct a thread:
1. Request trace-control dataspace from CPU session
2. Attach trace-control dataspace to address space at a location
picked by the Linux kernel
(issue mmap syscall)
The problem occurs when thread B's second step is executed in between
the steps 1 and 2 of thread A and the Linux kernel picks the
just-unmapped address as the location for the new trace-control mapping.
Now, the trace control dataspace is mapped at the virtual address that
was designated for the stack of the to-be-created thread, and the
attempt to map the real stack fails.
The patch fixes the problem by replacing the former region-map-local
locks by a component-global lock.
Furthermore, it cleans up core's implementation of the support function
for the region-map-mmap implementation, eliminating the temporary
unlocking of the region-map lock during RPC.

Instead of solving the problem to deliver ROM modules to core while booting
differently for the several kernels (multi-boot, elfweaver, core re-linking),
this commit unifies the approaches. It always builds core as a library, and
after all binaries are built from a run-script, the run-tool will link an
ELF image out of the core-library and all boot modules. Thereby, core can
access its ROM modules directly.
This approach now works for all kernels except Linux.
With this solution, there is no [build_dir]/bin/core binary available anymore.
For debugging purposes you will find a core binary without boot modules, but
with debug symbols under [run_dir].core.

This patch makes the build-system integration of noux packages usable
for non-Noux targets. It moves the GNU build system wrapper to
ports/mk/gnu_build.mk, which is now included by noux.mk. This way,
non-noux applications can use the same build-system wrapper. So the
porting of individual applications becomes easier.
This change removes the 'NOUX_' prefix use the various build variables

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.

This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all

base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.
This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.
Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.
Issue #1993
This patch alleviates the need for a Native_capability::Dst at the API
level. The former use case of this type as argument to
Deprecated_env::reinit uses the opaque Native_capability::Raw type
instead. The 'Raw' type contains the portion of the capability that is
transferred as-is when delegating the capability (i.e., when installing
the parent capability into a new component, or when installing a new
parent capability into a new forked Noux process). This information can
be retrieved via the new Native_capability::raw method.
Furthermore, this patch moves the functions for retriving the parent
capability to base/internal/parent_cap.h, which is meant to be
implemented in platform-specific ways. It replaces the former set of
startup/internal/_main_parent_cap.h headers.

instructions are not emulated by the recompiler any longer.
Also, assert that the FPU has not been used by the recompiler
* Inject pending guest VM interrupts on Muen
Use mapped subject pending interrupts page of guest VM to perform
interrupt injection. IRQs are transferred from the Virtualbox trap

IOAPIC only if the guest operating system selected the IOAPIC with the
'_PIC' ACPI method and if it called the '_PRT' ACPI method afterwards.
When running a guest operating system which uses the IOAPIC, but does
not call these ACPI methods (for example Genode/NOVA), the new
configuration option
<config force_ioapic="yes">
enforces the delivery of PCI IRQs to the IOAPIC.
Fixes#2029
The alternate stack must use the stack area as, e.g., Thread::myself()
depends on this property. Hybrid components do not depend on this
property and, therefore, use a static stack buffer.
Fixes#1935
* Align pitch value to 64 byte (thanks to cnuke for investigation)
* Get rid of extra dataspace retrival and attachment, now that we always buffer
* Consistently name all lx_emul helpers: lx_* (get rid of dde*)
* Add missing file headers
Fix#1997
Instead of providing a buffer to the client and blitting from that
to the "real" framebuffer as an option, with this commit we always do so.
Thereby its possible to immediately destroy the old framebuffer used by
hardware when a configuration change is done, and a new framebuffer
is used. This also simplifies the modesetting.
Moreover, this commit fixes an issue when not using the connector reporting.
Until now the initial mode detection of connectors was only done when
the report was created. this is a regression that entered the driver
when upgrading to the recent Linux kernel version.
Ref #1997
Use new env, component and logging frameworks.
Sync file system and block device on component entrypoint.
Support for 'root' session argument.
Increase Rump open file descriptor limit.
Issue #1987Fixes#2011
* remove all 'Genode::env()' calls
* use attached roms to read configuration
* use compoenent framework
* remove all PDBG, PINF, PWRN macros
Issue #1987Fixes#2019
* use Component::* instead of Server::*
* do not use old printf format anymore
* do not use old Genode::env()->heap() anymore
* avoid pointers where possible, and use references instead
* throw away the thread-safe variants of list and AVL tree,
nic_bridge became single-threaded in the past
* introduce Ram_session_guard instead of Allocator_guard
Issue #1987
- platform_drv announces a separate "Acpi" session
- platform_drv waits for ROM "system" to change state to "acpi_ready"
- acpica waits for "Acpi" announcement
- acpica uses the platform driver via "Acpi" to reconfigure PCI devices
- acpica changes "system" state to "acpi_ready" after it ready with initialization
- platform_drv reacts on "system" state change to "acpi_ready" by announcing "Platform" session
- drivers start to operate as usual
Issue #2009
This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output
directly via a low-level kernel mechanism, if available.
On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.
Fixes#2012
This is a follow-up commit to "slab: throw exception if initial
allocation fails". It is needed because on seL4, the PD session quota is
used as backing store for the meta data of the PD's virtual memory. For
this reason, PD sessions on seL4 require more session quota compared to
the other kernels. Apparently, the default quota is too scarce to
complete the PD-session construction. By shrinking the number of
supported page-table entries, we reduce the size of the PD session
component so that the creation succeeds.
Issue #1983
Replace 'attribute(...).has_value("yes")`
with 'attribute_value(..., false)'.
This allows for boolean configuration to be set with values such as
"true", "false", "yes", "no", or "1", "0".
Fixes#2002
A configuration policy must match against a policy node label,
label_prefix, or label_suffix atttribute. A fallback to
<default-policy/> is provided as a label wildcard.
Fixes#1901
The sinfo function declared in sinfo_instance.h creates a static sinfo
object instance and returns a pointer to the caller.
- kernel timer and platform support to use sinfo() function to
instantiate sinfo object
- address and size of the base-hw RAM region via the sinfo API
- log_status() function in sinfo API
