The former implementation did not internally track ROM changes notified
vs. delivered to the client. We adapt the versioning implementation
implemented in dynamic_rom_session.h and enable explicit notification of
the current version.
The feature is used by the clipboard to notify permitted readers of the
clipboard ROM service on focus change via the newly created private
Rom::Module::_notify_permitted_readers() function.

The 'black_hole' component provides dummy implementations of common
session interfaces.
At this time, only the 'Audio_out' session is provided if enabled
in the configuration of the component:
<config>
<audio_out/>
</config>

If the trace subjects are not properly destructed when the TRACE client
disappears, enabled sources will be owned by a non-existing client.
In other words, when a TRACE client disappears all sources owned by the
client must be disabled.

WARNING: BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY!
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
How to adjust:
At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The attribute
value remains unaltered.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The new attribute name 'dns_config_from' reflects that also other aspects of
the DNS configuration of the denominated domain are used by the DHCP server
that holds the attribute. This commit is a preparation for forwarding also the
domain name (DHCP option 15) with the mechanism behind the attribute.
Ref #4246
BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY:
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
HOW TO ADJUST:
At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays the
same.
The term "uplink" for network interfaces in the router that have a NIC session
client as back end was introduced in a time when Uplink sessions didn't yet
exist. Now, they do and, although both an uplink and an Uplink session
normally describe a network session between router and network device driver,
they are based on two different service types (NIC and Uplink). This can easily
cause confusion when integrating the router (the <uplink> is not related to
Uplink sessions) or trying to understand its functioning (an 'Uplink' object
has nothing to do with the Uplink service).
Therefore, this commit introduces the more specific term "NIC client" for an
interface that is based on a NIC session requested by the router. This doesn't
imply any semantic changes at the NIC router. However, the commit also brings a
broader update of the router's README and removes the term "downlink" that was
used only in documentation to refer to interfaces backed by a NIC session
provided by the router. The term was only associated with this meaning because
it is the natural counterpart to an uplink. This isn't appropriate anymore as
the terms for interface types have moved to a more technical level.
The commit adjusts all scenarios in the basic Genode repositories properly.
Fixes#4238
The driver is faily simple and does not support fancy features like
TCP checksum offloading or vlan filtering, but it is fully capable of
running every Genode network based scenario I've tried. Its currently
known to work on virt_qemu arm platforms and x86_64.
Fix#3825
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.
Fixes#3813
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.
Make the framebuffer driver for pl11x chipsets,
the ps2 input driver for pl050, and the lan9116 NIC driver independent from
the pbxa9 board by using the newly introduced common ARM platform driver API.

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
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
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.
Ref #3027
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
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.
Fix#2839
This patch introduces the subnodes <provides>, <requires>, and
<content> to the <runtime> node. All <rom> sessions that are
expected from the depot appear within the <content> node, which
sets them nicely apart from <rom> sessions that may be required
as runtime arguments.
Note that the <requires> and <provides> nodes do not appear in the
patch because the existing depot_deploy tool does not interpret this
information (the pkg/test-fs_report runtime does not provide any
service, and the timer session is provided as a common route).
By specifying the 'config' of a '<runtime>' as an attribute, we can
distinguish the case where the config is obtained from a ROM session
from the case where the config is specified inline as a '<config>' node.
