This patch eliminates the need for a global allocator by passing the
parent-service registry as argument to the 'Slave::Policy' constructor.
Fixes#2269
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
This test reproduces an issue of the VFS block file system when the
underlying block device has a coarser granularity than the block
requests issued by the VFS client. I.e., if the underlying block device
has a block size of 4K, writing a sequence of (non-4K-aligned) 512 blocks
that crosss a 4K boundary corrupts the data on the block device.

This commit enables compile-time warnings displayed whenever a deprecated
API header is included, and adjusts the existing #include directives
accordingly.

Parse ``<env key="..." value=".."/>`` nodes from the config ROM and
populate a list at the 'genode_envp' and 'environ' symbols.
Test script at run/libc_getenv.
Fix#2236
Cleaning up LWIP when returning from the main function sporadically
leads to endless errors "Error: sys_arch_mbox_fetch: unknown exception
occured!". We let the client sleep forever at the end of its main function
to prevent tests from failing due to a flooded log.
Reg #2193
Libc::Env is the Genode::Env interface extended to cover access
to the XML content of the 'config' ROM and a VFS instance. This
deduplicates the burden of components to attain and manage
these resources.
Fix#2217
Ref #1987
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
On a 64-bit system, enabling the OpenSSL NIST 64-bit optimization should
result in considerable speed improvements when using curves: NIST-P224,
NIST-P256, and NIST-P521. Additionally it avoids that Tor complains
about having an OpenSSL that lacks this feature.
Ref #2193
The main window must be visible before avplay or a framebuffer filter
requests the framebuffer session which goes to Nitpicker, because the
parent view of the new Nitpicker view is part of the
QNitpickerPlatformWindow object, which is created when the main window
becomes visible. If this object does not exist yet, a page fault occurs.
Fixes#2187
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.
Issue #2120
This feature is not compatible with the forthcoming nonblocking parent
interface. The patch removes the use of feature in all places except for
the components of the demo repository, which will under go a redesign
anyway.
