This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
Issue #465
* integrate rump's contrib code into Genode's build system and build what is
required by Genode, only
* checkout needed NetBSD sources directly from CVS

By now the file system gets mounted and unmounted on demand (whenever
the first clients comes along and whenever the last client leaves).
As a precaution we now also try to mount and unmounted the file system
in the init phase to prevent the first client from failing to its own
surprise.
Issue #2558.
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.
Fixes#2399
The run script did not consider the routing for the environment ROM
sessions for the test-iso component. It routed all ROM sessions -
including the ones for the executable and the dynamic linker - to
fs_rom. The patch also adds the cap quota definitions required since
version 17.05 and fixes a whitespace inconsistency between the test
program and the run script.
Thanks to Steven Harp for reporting!
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.
Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.
This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).
This patch reworks the implementation of core's RAM service to make use
of the 'Session_object' and to remove the distinction between the
"metadata" quota and the managed RAM quota. With the new implementation,
the session implicitly allocates its metadata from its own account. So
there is not need to handle 'Out_of_metadata' and 'Quota_exceeded' via
different exceptions. Instead, the new version solely uses the
'Out_of_ram' exception.
Furthermore, the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception has become an alias
for 'Out_of_ram', which simplifies the error handling.
Issue #2398
This patch replaces the 'Parent::Quota_exceeded',
'Service::Quota_exceeded', and 'Root::Quota_exceeded' exceptions
by the single 'Insufficient_ram_quota' exception type.
Furthermore, the 'Parent' interface distinguished now between
'Out_of_ram' (the child's RAM is exhausted) from
'Insufficient_ram_quota' (the child's RAM donation does not suffice to
establish the session).
This eliminates ambiguities and removes the need to convert exception
types along the path of the session creation.
Issue #2398
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).
Issue #2398
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
The read-ready packet informs the server that the client wants to be
notified if a handle becomes readable. When becoming readable, the
server acknowledges packet and the client may queue a read requests
accordingly.
This change introduces a Genode specific init function, which sets the
backend allocator used by jent_zalloc/zfree(). As consequence the
library can solely be used by native Genode components, direct libc
usage is not supported.
Fixes#2274.
This streamlines the Genode-specific interface for both 32-bit and
64-bit architectures and fixes dynamic-linking issue with the rump
VFS due to differing size_t types.
This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.
To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.
