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.
Fixes#3813
The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.
As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.
Issue #3720
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.

This depot package is the runtime for rtc_drv and system_rtc server with
coordinated update of system and hardware RTC via reports. It replaces
drivers_rtc which was never freestanding drivers package and, therefore,

Generated a separate 'config.h' for arm, arm_64, x86_32, x86_64 for the
current version (6.1.2) of GMP. This became necessary because
configurations differ for each architecture.

issue #3598
The libc monitor facility enables the execution of monitor jobs by the
main thread when the monitor pool was charged. In comparison to the
current suspend/resume_all mechanism the main thread iterates over all
job functions in contrast to waking up all threads to check their
conditions by themselves. Threads are only woken up if the completion
condition was met.
This commit is the result of a collaboration with Christian Prochaska.
Many thanks for your support, Christian.
Fixes#3550
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 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.

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 minimal-footprint Ada runtime for implementing library-like
functionality in SPARK is now called "spark" runtime.
The full Ada runtime for entire components written in Ada and using the
libc as glue to the underlying system will move to the world repository
as "ada" runtime.
Issue #3144
The former 'Genode::Timed_semaphore' mechanism is moved to the private
part of the two remaining users, namely dde_rump and the libc. Note
there are now two private copies of 'timed_semaphore.h'. This should be
regarded as an interim step until the use of this mechanism is removed
from both users.
This patch also cleans up the mechanism from legacy Genode API calls and
global side effects (alarm-thread singleton). The test/timed_semaphore
is now located at the libports repository as it now tests a mechanism of
the libc. The former timed_semaphore library is no more.
Fixes#3121
Our overall nightly test time greatly decreases when the timeouts for
the single tests are not that over-pessimistic. Using the slowest
platforms as reference, this commit reduces the test timeouts.

The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
GNU tar interprets the passed time value in local time by default, which
lead to unstable hashes again. So, now provide a complete date/time
value incl. time zone.

This patch reintroduces the LwIP stack to libc as a VFS plugin
implementing the socket_fs interface. Rather than use LwIP's socket
emulation layer this plugin interfaces directly to LwIP raw API and is
single threaded.
The internal TCP parameters of the stack are untuned.

The new 'verify' component facilitates the code of GnuPG to verify

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.
