The old 'Io_response_handler::io_progress_response' interface has been
replaced by the 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user' (issue #4697). The
remaining 'read_ready_response' method is now hosted in the
appropriately named 'Read_ready_response_handler'.
Issue #4706
The 'blocked_handles' queue was used to notify the VFS user via the
'io_progress_response' mechanism. This is now covered by the
'wakeup_vfs_user' interface introduced in issue #4697.
Issue #4706
By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.
Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.
Issue #4697
The new interface is meant to replace the 'Vfs::Io_response_handler'.
In contrast to the 'Io_response_handler', which had to be called
on a 'Vfs_handle', the new interface does not require any specific
'Vfs_handle'. It is merely meant to prompt the VFS user (like the libc)
to re-attempt stalled I/O operations but it does not provide any
immediate hint, about which of the handles have become ready for
reading/writing.
Issue #4697
This patch removes the 'Insufficient_buffer' exception by returning the
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK result value instead. It also eliminates the
superfluous WRITE_ERR_AGAIN and WRITE_ERR_INTERRUPT codes.
Issue #4697
The original size of 16K impedes the batched processing of network
packets. Changing the value to 256K reduces the number of context
switches when downloading large files and thereby improves the
throughput by more than 25% (base-hw on qemu_x86_64, using fetchurl
to download a file of 100 MiB via the NIC router from lighttpd).
Issue #4697
This patch fosters the batching of network packets transferred by the
lwIP stack over the NIC connection. It replaces the eager submission of
the packet-stream's data-flow signals by explicit wakeup notifications.
The commit also increases the NIC session's buffer size from 128 to 1024
packets.
Issue #4697
Since the lwip library is used only by the vfs_lwip plugin, this patch
moves the Genode-specific support code local to the VFS plugin, easing
further simplification and allowing for a tighter integration with the
VFS plugin.
The recipes for api/lwip and src/vfs_lwip stay separate as both parts
use different licenses.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.
Issue #4697
This test reveals the patters of the batching of consecutive write
operations on a file-system session. It issues 100 writes of one byte
each, which should ideally result in large batches of operations
submitted to the file-system session at once.
The run script performs the write operations through a chain of two VFS
servers, thereby exercising the write batching of both the libc and the
intermediate VFS server.
Issue #4697
There is at least one client that performs DRM calls from multiple
pthreads, which is not supported for now. We guard the concurrent
access by grabbing a pthread_mutex before each operation.
Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
This recipe combines the dummy_rtc_drv, which consumes a given time,
and provides the "Rtc" service to its clients with the simple NTP client,
which provides the current time to the RTC driver in regular intervals.

There is one binder with one memory zone per OpenGL context. The patch was

with context support.

The configured 'st_blksize' influences the sizing of the FILE buffer,
see '__swhatbuf()'. Increasing the blksize hint can lead to larger
'fread()' requests and in return to fewer roundtrips.
With the increase of MAXPHYS, the rump kernel requests a contiguous
allocation of 2101248 bytes, which exceeds the allocator's block size of
2 MiB.
Error: backend allocator: Unable to allocate memory (size: 2101248 align: 12)
The patch avoids this corner case by increasing the allocator's block
size to 4 MiB.

The libc kernel used to silently go on if one of the files given through
stdin/stdout/stderr or <fd path=""> was missing (with possibly vital

With this commit, the libc kernel prints a descriptive warning before

Fixes#4218
The libc kernel used to end up in an uncaught exception if one of the
directories in the paths given through stdin/stdout/stderr or <fd path=""> was
missing. The resulting error didn't point the user to the presumably simple
configuration issue of his scenario in any way and killed the affected
component.
With this commit, the libc kernel prints a descriptive warning instead and
simply continues to run the component with the corresponding file descriptor
missing. At least in case of stdin/stdout/stderr, the libc deals gracefully
with this approach.

When executed on Linux, the test was impaired by the copy-on-write
optimisation since the source buffer was never initialised. By default,
Linux only maps a zeroed page until the first write access to the page
occurs. Since the source buffer was never written, the corresponding
page was always present in the physically-indexed data cache. In
consequence, the test merely measured write performance (similar to memset).

First, the endpoint update has to comply with the current alternate

XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

The 'read' and 'write' utilities are from a time before the VFS API
as os/vfs.h was available. They rely on the (now removed) blocking
semantics of the packet-stream interface.
The only remaining legitimate use case of the direct interaction with
the file-system session without VFS is the back end of gcov, which needs
a way to exfiltrate the statistical data using a channel that is
independent from the libc or the VFS.

To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.

This commit removes the report service from the usb_webcam pkg, which
was used to enable or disable the webcam driver. The on/off state is
instead controlled by the presence of a capture client. That is, once a
capture client appears, the webcam driver is started. Vice versa, once
no capture client exists, the webcam driver is removed automatically.
Internally, the detection of presence of a capture client is based on
nitpicker's 'displays' report, which is consumed as input of the
rom_filter, which in turn generates the configuration of a dynamic sub
init.
Fixes#4287
'Out_of_ram' was so far the only exception a client had to deal with
during buffer managment. Allocating memory, however, does not only
consume RAM quota but CAP quota as well.
This commit tries to mitigate that shortcoming by reflecting the
'Out_of_caps' state back to the client. Furthermore it allows for
resource accounting on certain client allocations, e.g. buffers.
Fixes#4284.
By using the cached_fs_rom instead of fs_rom, each client obtains the

The various mapping methods are modelled after the requirements of
the Intel GPUs or rather the Mesa driver back end.
With upcoming support for other driver back ends, we need to
sequeeze their requirements in as well. For now hijack 'map_buffer'
to provide for specifying the kind of attributes the client needs.
For now all buffers mapped in the GGTT for Intel GPUs are treated
as RW.
Issue #4265.
This call allows for checking if the given execution buffer has been
completed and complements the completion signal. Initially the GPU
multiplexer always sent such a signal when the currently scheduled
execution buffer has been completed. During enablement of the 'iris'
driver it became necessary to properly check of sequence number.
In case of the Intel GPU multiplexer the sequence numbers are
continous, which prompted the greater-than-or-equal check in the
DRM back end. By hidding this implementation detail behind the
interface, GPU drivers are free to deal with sequence numbers any
way they like and allows for polling in the client, where the
completion signal is now more of a progress signal.
Issue #4265.
The current info implementation (as RPC) is limited in a few ways:
* The amount of data that may be transferred is constrained by the
underlying base platform
* Most information never changes during run time but is copied
nonetheless
* The information differs depending on the used GPU device and
in its current implementation only contains Intel GPU specific
details
With this commit the 'info' RPC call is replaced with the
'info_dataspace' call that transfers the capability for the dataspace
containing the information only. This is complemented by a client
local 'attached_info' call that allows for getting typed access to
the information. The layout of the information is moved to its own
and GPU-specific header file, e.g., 'gpu/info_intel.h'

Rather than using the dataspace capability directly, let the client
choose its own local identifier that is linked to the underlying
capability.
