Check at the VFS server that the capability cost of sessions do not
exceed the session quota donation. Raise the default initial capability
donation for File_system connections.
Fix#2553
Previously the destructors of classes derived from Source were not
called when destructing a Source because Source missed the declaration
of a virtual destructor. This caused at least problems when
reconstructing a Chargen_source with its Chargen_repeater that includes
a One_shot_timeout. In this case, the members of the Alarm behind the
timeout were not reset and the next time beeing used the Alarm appeared
to be still active which wasn't true.
Fixes#2570
A new configuration may implicitly change the domain color of the
currently focused session. We need to refresh the report to trigger an
update of the status bar.
If the attribute 'interface' is not set in a 'domain' tag, the router tries to
dynamically receive and maintain an IP configuration for that domain by using
DHCP in the client role at all interfaces that connect to the domain. In the
DHCP discover phase, the router simply chooses the first DHCP offer that
arrives. So, no comparison of different DHCP offers is done. In the DHCP
request phase, the server is expected to provide an IP address, a gateway, a
subnet mask, and an IP lease time to the router. If anything substantial goes
wrong during a DHCP exchange, the router discards the outcome of the exchange
and goes back to the DHCP discover phase. At any time where there is no valid
IP configuration present at a domain, the domain does only act as DHCP client
and all other router functionality is disabled for the domain. A domain cannot
act as DHCP client and DHCP server at once. So, a 'domain' tag must either
have an 'interface' attribute or must not contain a 'dhcp-server' tag.
Ref #2534
An IPv4 config (for a domain/interface of the router) consists of
an IPv4 address, a subnet prefix specifier, an optional gateway
IPv4 address, and some flags that declare whether these fields and
the config as a whole are valid. To make the handling of those
tightly connected values easier and less error prone, we encapsulate
them in a new class.
Ref #2534
The ROM filter did not handle the situation where the generated content
exceeds the size of the initially allocated dataspace for the target
buffer. This patch wraps the XML generation in a retry loop that
expands the buffer as needed.
This patch makes the specification of screen coordinates more flexible.
First, the 'origin' attribute allows one to refer to either of the four
screen corners without knowing the screen size. Second, the 'width'
and 'height' values now accept negative values, which are relative to
the screen size.
This was an error output-line for each affected packet previously but it
is pretty normal for the router to receive packets whose network layer
protocol it doesn't know . In the default case, these packets shall be
ignored silently.
Ref #2490
One can configure the NIC router to act as DHCP server at interfaces of a
domain by adding the <dhcp> tag to the configuration of the domain like
this:
<domain name="vbox" interface="10.0.1.1/24">
<dhcp-server ip_first="10.0.1.80"
ip_last="10.0.1.100"
ip_lease_time_sec="3600"
dns_server="10.0.0.2"/>
...
</domain>
The attributes ip_first and ip_last define the available IPv4 address
range while ip_lease_time_sec defines the lifetime of an IPv4 address
assignment in seconds. The IPv4 address range must be in the subnet
defined by the interface attribute of the domain tag and must not cover
the IPv4 address in this attribute. The dns_server attribute gives the
IPv4 address of the DNS server that might also be in another subnet.
The lifetime of an offered assignment is the configured round trip time of
the router while the ip_lease_time_sec is applied only if the offer is
requested by the client in time.
The ports/run/virtualbox_nic_router.run script is an example of how to
use the new DHCP server functionality.
Ref #2490
Previously, garbage collect was only done when an incoming packet passed the
Ethernet checks. Now it is really done first when receiving a packet at an
interface.
Ref #2490
If the router has no gateway attribute for a domain (means that the router
itself is the gateway), and it gets an ARP request for a foreign IP, it shall
answer with its own IP.
Ref #2490
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 nic_dump uses a wrapper for all supported protocols that
takes a packet and a verbosity configuration. The wrapper object can
than be used as argument for a Genode log function and prints the
packet's contents according to the given configuration. The
configuration is a distinct class to enable the reuse of one instance
for different packets.
There are currently 4 possible configurations for each protocol:
* NONE (no output for this protocol)
* SHORT (only the protocol name)
* COMPACT (the most important information densely packed)
* COMPREHENSIVE (all header information of this protocol)

Provide utilities for appending new options to an existing DHCP packet
and a utility for finding existing options that returns a typed option
object. Remove old version that return untyped options.

Apply the style rule that an accessor is named similar to the the underlying
value. Provide read and write accessors for each mandatory header attribute.
Fix some incorrect structure in the headers like with the flags field
in Ipv4_packet.

Encapsulate the enum into a struct so that it is named
Ethernet_frame::Type::Enum, give it the correct storage type
uint16_t, and remove those values that are (AFAIK) not used by
now (genode, world).
Ref #2490
Do not stop routing if the transport layer protocol is unknown but
continue with trying IP routing instead. The latter was already
done when no transport routing could be applied but for unknown transport
protocols we caught the exception at the wrong place.
Ref #2490
The NIC router always reports the link state "Up" (true) because
the effective link state depends on the targeted remote interface
and thus on the individual routing for each packet. Consequently,
also the signal handler for state changes gets ignored.
Ref #2490
IP stacks may treat a network interface as "down" when it states a MAC
address with the I/G bit (bit 40) set to "Group" (value 0) instead of
"Individual" (value 1). This was observed with a TinyCore 8 inside a
Virtualbox VM. Thus, the previously choosen 03:03:03:03:03:00 as base
for the MAC address allocator is bad. Now we use the 02:02:02:02:02:00
instead. This also ensures that the MAC addresses are not marked as
"Universal" but as "Local" (bit 41, value 1) which is correct in general
as the router allocates MAC addresses only for virtual networks.
Ref #2490
The NIC dump component didn't support forwarding of link states and link-state
signals until now. Furthermore, it now prints MAC address and link state
on session creation and on every link state change.
Ref #2490
Previously, the uplink session was created on component startup while the
creation of the downlink session is timed by the client component. This
created a time span in which packets from the uplink were dropped at the
nic_dump. Now the uplink session-request is done by the session component
of the downlink.
Ref #2490
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.
Fix#2469
The VFS library can be used in single-threaded or multi-threaded
environments and depending on that, signals are handled by the same thread
which uses the VFS library or possibly by a different thread. If a VFS
plugin needs to block to wait for a signal, there is currently no way
which works reliably in both environments.
For this reason, this commit makes the interface of the VFS library
nonblocking, similar to the File_system session interface.
The most important changes are:
- Directories are created and opened with the 'opendir()' function and the
directory entries are read with the recently introduced 'queue_read()'
and 'complete_read()' functions.
- Symbolic links are created and opened with the 'openlink()' function and
the link target is read with the 'queue_read()' and 'complete_read()'
functions and written with the 'write()' function.
- The 'write()' function does not wait for signals anymore. This can have
the effect that data written by a VFS library user has not been
processed by a file system server yet when the library user asks for the
size of the file or closes it (both done with RPC functions at the file
system server). For this reason, a user of the VFS library should
request synchronization before calling 'stat()' or 'close()'. To make
sure that a file system server has processed all write request packets
which a client submitted before the synchronization request,
synchronization is now requested at the file system server with a
synchronization packet instead of an RPC function. Because of this
change, the synchronization interface of the VFS library is now split
into 'queue_sync()' and 'complete_sync()' functions.

This is expected by hardware terminals, ie., terminal programs connected
to null-modem serial connections. Otherwise, the next line starts at the
