By now, the 'verbose packets' output when sending packets was printed after
finish sending the packet. This makes following the packet flow harder if you
have multiple components that print such information.
Issue #2732
The mac_first attribute tells the MAC-address allocator of the router
from which MAC address to start allocating. This is useful, for
instance, if you have nested nic_routers. In this case, identical
MAC-allocator settings have led to name clashes in the past, so, you
want to be able to configure them differently.
Issue #2732
This follows the guidelines in RFC 5508 to enable ICMP echo through a NAPT
channel of the NIC router. It serves also as blueprint for ICMP queries in
general (they are merely not enabled because we don't test them by now).
Issue #2732
The 'verbose packets' output previously was not generated for Interfaces
without a domain. But this is desirable as the router nonetheless
receives packets at such interfaces. This is now fixed and such output
is simply prefixed with a "[?]" denoting that the interface has no
domain.
Issue #2732
We missed to zero-out the ECN field in IPv4 packets. We don't use the ECN
field but there might be old data left in the packet RAM allocated by the
NIC packet streams. If we don't zero-out ECN it might leak old data.
Issue #2732
Add a new 'Vfs_watch_handle' type to the VFS interface. This handle type
will pass a handle context up through the I/O handler to the application
when a notification event occurs.
Watch support implemented for RAM and File_system plugins, all other
file-systems return WATCH_ERR_STATIC by default.
Test at run/fs_rom_update_ram and run/fs_rom_update_fs.
Fix#1934
This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data
- Basic UTF-8 support
Since the change decouples the font format from the 'Text_painter' and
changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.
Fixes#2716
This file system is meant as a building block for pseudo file systems
that host a directory of several small files where each corresponds to
an attribute of the pseudo file system.
By letting the 'Dir_file_system' accept an arbitrary 'File_system'
as root directory, we can use the 'Dir_file_system' as a building
block for creating other file-system types.
This patch enables the use of the VFS from VFS plugins by passing a
reference of the root directory to the constructors of file-system
instances. Since it changes the signature of 'Vfs::Dir_file_system',
any code that uses the VFS directly requires an adaptation.
Fixes#2701
If the remote DNS server address value of a DHCP server changes, the affected
interfaces do a link down/up to inform all DHCP clients that they should
re-request their DHCP info.
Issue #2730
The dns_server_from attribute of the dhcp-server tag has effect only if
the dns_server attribute of the same tag is not set. If this is the
case, the dns_server_from attribute states the domain from whose IP
config to take the DNS server address. This is useful, for instance, if
the stated domain receives the address of a local DNS server via DHCP.
Whenever the IP config of the stated domain becomes invalid, the DHCP
server switches to a mode where it drops all requests unanswered until
the IP config becomes valid again.
Issue #2730
Until now, the DHCP server of a domain was re-constructed each time the
IP config changed. This is not necessary as a domain that acts as DHCP
server must have a static IP config as it would be senseless to act as
DHCP server and client at the same time. Now, a configured DHCP server
is constructed only when the Domain gets constructed and stays alive
until the domain gets destructed. Furthermore, we now throw Domain::Invalid
if there is no static IP config plus a DHCP server configured. However, by
now, this exception is not caught as it is not trivial to destruct the
domain at this point.
Issue #2730
The Interface constructor previously tried to attach to a domain. This
might include sending a DHCP request to get the domain a valid IP config.
But in order to achieve this, the constructor used a pure virtual method
of Interface which crashes due to the unfinished vtable. To fix this bug,
the attach attempt was moved to a new Interface::init method.
Issue #2730
Instead of Pointer<T>::set use assignment operator with implicit constructor
from T-reference. Instead of Pointer<T>::unset use assignment operator with
Pointer<T>(). Instead of Pointer<T>::deref provide () operator.
Issue #2730
The router reacts as follows to a configuration change:
1) Construct new internal configuration representation (the old one stays
in place to be able to do comparisons in the following steps)
2) Iterate through all user-dependent objects (interfaces, link states, ARP
information, DHCP information) and re-check which remain valid with the
new configuration and which must be dismissed.
3) Adapt the objects that remain valid to the new configuration (re-write
references) and remove or detach the dismissed objects.
4) Do a link state DOWN at each interface and a link state UP at each
interface that remains attached to a domain.
5) Replace the old internal configuration representation with the new one
This way, the router keeps as much user dependent states as possible
while going through a configuration change. Thus, overwriting the old
configuration with an exact copy of itself is (almost) transparent to
clients of the router. Almost, because there are things the router must
do on every configuration handling, like re-scheduling the expiration
timeouts of links.
Ref #2670
The for_each method of the List wrapper remembers the next list item
before calling the functor on the current one, so, the current one can
be destroyed during the functor.
Ref #2670
Clients can connect at any time to the NIC router. The interfaces (sessions)
get attached to the appropriate domain as soon as it appears. This implies
that interfaces can also be detached from a domain without beeing destructed
when the domain disappears. All user dependent states of an interface such as
the link states, DHCP allocations and ARP information get lost when the
interface gets detached.
Ref #2670
This separates the decision wether to log the received and sent packets
from the 'verbose' attribute. This information is now only logged if
'verbose_packets' is switched on. If 'verbose' is switched on, only
routing decisions and optional hints are printed.
Ref #2670
Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
