The new helper function returns a boolean value analoque to 'have_spec' if the
BOARD variable corresponds to the given value. It shall replace [have_spec <board>]

Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.

Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.
Ref #3816
This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.

Fix#3785
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
The 'vfs_block' component will give access to a VFS file through a
Block session. For more detailed information please look at its
README.
(On a technical note, the server currently only allows for one
active session and has only one pending back end request but can
easily be extended in the future.)
Fixes#3781.
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
- don't use 'qemu -serial mon:stdio' anymore as it no longer works as
expected
- use "bash -l" with [terminal] to read user's profile configuration,
e.g., PATH settings
- added missing boot modules and cap quotas
As a result of the API change the memory handling could be simplified.
Since the Block session dataspace is now directly used for DMA, we
actually only have to provide the memory for setting up PRP lists for
large requests (for the moment more than 8 KiB of data).
As we limit the maximum data transfer length to 2 MiB, we get by with
just a page per request. Those memory is allocated beforehand for the
maximum number of I/O requests, which got bumbed to 512 entries. Since
not all NVMe controllers support such large a maximum data transfer
length and this many entries, especially older ones, the values are
capped according to the properties of the controller during
initialization. (The memory demands of the component are around 3 MiB
due to setting up for the common case, even if a particular controller
is only able to make use of less.)
(Although there are controllers whose maximum memory page size is more
than 4K, the driver is hardcoded to solely use 4K pages.)
In addition to those changes, the driver now supports the 'SYNC' and
'TRIM' operations of the Block session by using the NVMe 'FLUSH' and
'WRITE_ZEROS' commands.
Fixes#3702.
This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by
2064ffd64b nova: support multidimensional affinity space
The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful
boot as well as to detect unexpected reboots. This message should never
be logged twice and, thus, should not be part of the core_log. The patch
mentioned above moved the former run_boot_string after the core_log
initialization.

This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
When re-configuring a domain from using a static IP config to using a dynamic

the described behavior.
Fix#3518
The rtc_drv on x86 can now by used to also set the RTC. If the config
attribute 'allow_setting_rtc' is set to 'yes' the driver will update
the RTC from the content of the 'set-rtc' ROM module. A valid ROM must
contain a top node with the following attributes: 'year', 'month',
'day', 'hour', 'minute' and 'second'.

On some platforms (foc+pbxa9, hw+imx53_qsb_tz, hw+rpi) the default buffer size

Fixes#3354
Moreover, express current requirement to hw API, which was missing until now.
Originally, in the board-specific build directory of imx53_qsb the
"KERNEL" variable was preset with "hw". Therefore, it was not perceived
that this dependency is required.

Issue #3179
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
If the NIC router has insufficient CAP or RAM quota for the creation of
a state object for an interface, it tries to destroy a certain amount of
existing state objects of this interface to free resources. Afterwards,
it retries handling the current packet once. If it does fail again, the
router drops the packet.

This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
Process I/O packets in batches. If a batch is processed and there are
still packets pending, send a signal locally to the packet handler and
return to the entrypoint signal dispatcher. This prevents clients from
starving each other, which happens when a client continuously submits
packets at a faster rate than the server can process.
Fix#2900
Test of File_system I/O scheduling. It appears that a client not
submitting I/O packets slower than the VFS server can process will
starve other clients.

The test triggers the following assertion in the kernel, which will
remain unfixed as the kernel is no longer developed:
Assertion queue_state.is_set(queue_state_t::send) failed in file
.../pistachio/kernel/src/api/v4/tcb.h, line 727
This assertion is presumably similar / related to issue #1495.
The legacy PIT timer driver is too jittery for the character-repeat
test. This patch disables the test for platforms using this device as
user-level time source, which are at the moment OKL4, Pistachio, and
seL4.
Also remove 'requires_installation_of', while also checking sbin
directories in 'have_installed'. The run scripts have been adjusted
accordingly.
Fixes#2853
The 200-second timeout of the init test triggers on some test platform
(in particular on qemu) while it is overly pessimistic on others.
This patch aims at stabilizing the timing behavior of the test across
the tested kernels/machines.
This is a follow-up patch of "init: avoid too eager child restart". On
each config update of init, init re-applies child-specific configuration
changes. In the case of an already exited child, this re-evaluation
wrongly marked such a child as abandoned because the child's environment
sessions do no longer exist. Abandoning the child, in turn, triggers the
destruction and subseqent restart (because the <start> node of the
configuration still exists). The latter is bad for two reasons.
First, the exit state of the original instance becomes lost. Second, the
restart may have unexpected side effects due to sessions created by the
new instance. I.e., when resizing a partition in sculpt, init would
wrongly restart the gpt-write tool after the tool successfully exited.
This collides with a newly started instance of part_blk/resize2fs, which
now competes with the second gpt-write instance for the exclusive access
of the targeted block device.
The patch prevents init from re-applying configurations to exited
children. The accompanied test case covers the corner case.
Do not simply wait for the good ping test to finish, but for the other
flood tests to trigger the RAM exhaustion. This makes the test more
robust with slower platforms or a different timing.
Issue #2857
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
Currently has three clients that continuously create new UDP/TCP/ICMP
connections through the NIC router with NAT to the outer world and they
get never closed. A fourth client does normal ping through the same
domain to the outer world that must succeed even after the RAM quota of
the other session at the router is exhausted. The test is restricted to
Qemu to not being at risk to flood real networks.

This test monitors the RAM quota of a dynamic init and a server hosted
within the dynamic init in the presence of a repeatedly created and

Clients may wish to act on missing files. In any case the fs_rom
needs to reopen a watch handle when a file is deleted, and this
sort of change to the internal state machine is propelled by
client RPC requests.

This tests the case that behind a NIC router domain there are not only
directly connected clients of the subnet but also Layer 2 indirections like
a switch or a bridge which might be interesting for example for testing the
NIC routers DHCP server implementation.

When an environment session is provided by a async service such as a
sibling component, the session metadata must be preserved until end of
the lifetime of the session at the server has been acknowledged by the
server. Since the session meta data of env sessions are always part of
the 'Child' object, the destruction of this object must be deferred
until this point.
On real hardware, the tests expect an IPv4 subnet such that UDP requests
to 10.0.0.2 port 12345 get answered with an ICMP destination port unreachable.
