Previously, the function that returned the XML config for a network test
client/server in the scripts formed the component name of the peer solely
by combining the protocol name, "client" or "server", and a suffix that
is given as argument. However, to group multiple clients together in one
domain via their session label at the NIC router we want peers with the same
name prefix. Thus, the function now simply takes the whole name as argument.
Issue #2609
When this flag is set in the config tag, the NIC router will print a
short information to the log for each general state change of a domain.
This includes currently the IP-configuration state and the number of
connected NIC sessions. This a useful addition as the normal verbose
flag's purpose is a very deep insight into almost every activity in the
router, which is cool for debugging sophisticated problems but normally
floods the log and therefore discards this option for, e.g., desktop
systems. In such systems, the new verbosity is pretty discreet but
already gives a good hint on why packets may get dropped by the router
although the routing rules are correct.
Issue #2534
Replace former rtt_sec attribute of the <config> tag by more specific
(and still optional) attributes for timeouts used in the NIC router
(these are also the default values):
<config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">
Details about the new attributes can be found in the README of the router.
Issue #2590
In case the video geometry (WxH) is larger than the current size of
the framebuffer, match its size and let libav do the scaling. This
enables the playback of 1080p movies on smaller screens.
Issue #2583.
The synchronization with the ACPI driver is not needed when starting
acpica at a later stage. It could already be disabled via the
'acpi_ready="yes"' config attribute. However, acpica still
unconditionally requests the so-called "Acpi" service, which is an
alias for the platform_drv's "Platform" service. This patch disables the
use of this alias when the 'acpi_ready' synchronization is disabled.
The debug version comes with an unwelcome libc dependency, which is
solely needed for the formatted output of error messages. Since the
distinction between the regular and the debug versions remained unused
in practice, this patch removes the debug version.
This makes '/' and the actual root of VFS distinguishable. A VFS root
may contain one ore more '/' entries for each file system. 'opendir' for
the VFS root opens all file systems via 'open_composite_dir', while
'opendir' for '/' only returns a VFS handle.
Fixes#2569
Currently, LxIP peers need a lot of RAM (the simple test-client/server for the
nic_router test need at least 28 MB per component). As the nic_router test
previously used 6 instances of such components and a lot of other components,
it had issues with insufficient RAM on some platforms. By using two new
LwIP-based UDP tests instead, we save more than 100 MB.
Ref #2543
Do not use two times the RTT for the lifetime of links but use it as
it is configured to simplify the usage of the router. Internally, use
Microseconds/Duration type instead of plain integers.
Ref #2490
The remote shell facilities are past deprecation and there is an
obligation to prevent their use rather than to support them. This patch
removes the related function definitions from 'unistd.h', which have not
been been included in the Genode libc ABI regardless.
Fix#2530
Remove getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo from the Libc::Plugin and get rid of
the extra libc_resolv library. Remove getaddrinfo/freeaddrinfo symbol
hiding patch for FreeBSD sources. Remove libc_resolv from Makefiles and
run scenarios.
Fix#2273
This recipe copies the entire stdcxx library into the API archive, which
is an interim solution until we introduce a proper ABI for stdcxx. With
this current version, every user of the stdcxx ABI will implicitly build
the stdcxx library.
The timer driver should always be of the highest priority to avoid
problem with timers that have low max-counter values like the PIT
with only 53 ms.
Ref #2400
Add a "writeable" policy option to the ahci_drv and part_blk Block
servers and default from writeable to ready-only. Should a policy
permit write acesss the session request argument "writeable" may still
downgrade a session to ready-only.
