Ref #3971
In order to perform a smooth transition from NIC drivers that act only as NIC
session clients to NIC drivers that act only as Uplink session clients, this
commit introduces an intermediate state in which all NIC drivers support both
modes. That said, a NIC drivers mode is now statically determined through a new
optional 'mode' attribute in the drivers <config> tag that can be set to either
'nic_server' (default value) or 'uplink_client'. Reconfiguring this attribute
at a driver doesn't have any effects. Whithout this attribute being set, all
NIC drivers will behave the same as they did before the commit. When set to
'uplink_client', however, instead of providing a Nic service, they request
an Uplink session whenever their network interface becomes "UP" and close the
session whenever their network interface becomes "DOWN".
Ref #3961
Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.
Ref #3961
Adds new Uplink session interface, the corresponding client side (Client,
Connection), and the corresponding API archives. An Uplink session is almost
the same as a NIC session with the difference that the roles of the end points
are swapped. An Uplink client is the one that provides a network interface
(for instance, a NIC driver) whereas an Uplink server is the one that uses
that network interface (for instance, a networking stack).
Therefore, in contrast to the NIC session, MAC address and link state come from
the Uplink client. The link state is reflected through the lifetime of an
Uplink session: The client requests the session only when the link state is
"UP" and closes it whenever the link state becomes "DOWN" again. The MAC
address is transmitted from the Uplink client to the Uplink server as an
argument of the session request.

The driver is faily simple and does not support fancy features like
TCP checksum offloading or vlan filtering, but it is fully capable of
running every Genode network based scenario I've tried. Its currently
known to work on virt_qemu arm platforms and x86_64.
Fix#3825
To simplify writing native VirtIO drivers for Genode add helper classes
representing VirtIO device and queue. The queue implementation should
be platform independant. The device abstraction however is closely tied
to the VirtIO transport being used (PCI/MMIO). Both PCI and MMIO
implementations expose the same public API so the actual driver logic
should be the same regardless of which transport is used.
Its also important to note that the PCI version of Virtio::Device
currently does not support MSI-X interrupts. Unfortunately my kowledge
about PCI bus is very limited and my main area of interest was to get
VirtIO drivers working on virt_qemu ARM/Aarch64 platform. As such all
the VirtIO drivers I plan to submit will work with PCI bus, but might
not use some extended capabilities.
Ref #3825
The VirtIO device configuration on Qemu is dynamic. The
order and presence of different command line switches affects
base address and interrupt assignment of each device. One could
probably hard-code the necessary switches and resulting XML ARM
platform driver configuration in each run script, but this seems
like troublesome and hard to maintain solution.
This patch explores an alternative approach to the problem.
It implements a ROM driver which probes the address space region
Qemu virt machines assign to VirtIO MMIO devices and exposes the
result as XML via a ROM session. This XML output can be fed directly
as config to the generic ARM platform driver.
Ref #3825
Right now the same code dealing with nic setup on qemu is duplicated
in many different run scripts. It makes it unnecesarily complex to
change the existing config or add support for new nic types. Lets move

This patch fixes the corner case where the keyboard focus is defined
independently from user interactivity, e.g., the activation of a
screensaver or lock screen.
In this case, nitpicker would update its internal focus state not before
the next input event is handled. Should this input event be a press
event, this event would wrongly be delivered to the prior focused
session. Another problematic situation is the initial state before the
very first input event occurs. Since the focus remains undefined until
the first input event is handled, an initial key press event would not
be delivered.
This is a regression caused be the transition to the event-session
interface and the removal of the nitpicker's periodic way of operation.
The patch fixes the problem by applying pending focus changes not only
at the input processing but also on the code path that responds to focus
changes (e.g., focus-rom update).

The combination of Net::Mac_address and
Genode::ascii_to(Net::Mac_address) required shaky quirks in several
places because GCC is not able to resolve the ascii_to overload if
base/xml_node.h was included to early. The current solution moves the
several ascii_to overloads "closer" to the Net types by putting them
into the Net namespace, where GCC reliably picks them up.
Hence, co-locating the ascii_to() utility with the overload type in the
same scope/namespace is good practice.
This patch removes the now obsolete <nic/xml_node.h> header file.

Fix#3876
This is needed to enable VFS plugins to notify VFS clients about file
changes that depend on the plugin configuration, E.g., whenever the vfs_ttf
plugin responds to a font-size change, it generates a watch notification
for the glyphs file. Since the change is independent from I/O, we need
to manually call 'handle_io_progress'.
With the change of nitpicker to the event session interface, the
formerly periodic hovering updates moved to the - now sporadic - input
processing. This has the unfortunate side effect that hovering changes
caused by non-user-input, in particular view-stack changes issued by the
GUI clients that change the view under the current pointer position,
would no longer be reported immediately but only after receiving the
next incoming input event.
This patch reworks the hover handling such that potential hovering
changes due to view-stack operations are evaluated immediately by
those operations, covering the update of the hover report and the
generation of artificial enter/motion events.
Issue #3812
This patch solves a corner case where one long-active job (e.g.,
read-ready request) stays at the beginning of the '_active_jobs' queue
without an ack. In this case, the '_try_acknowledge_jobs' method would
wrongly stop processing the subsequent acknowledgements. In practice,
this can lead to a delayed sending of acknowledgements until new I/O or
client requests occur. In particular, Vim in Sculpt's inspect window
sometimes did not immediately respond to key presses during tab
completion. Here, the read-ready request of the terminal prevented the
acknowledgement for read of directory entry from being delivered until
the next key was pressed.
Fixes#3873
The quota for the argument buffer is already accounted by using the

waste become noticeable.
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.

This is a follow-up commit to "nitpicker: make framebuffer and input
optional". It restores the dynamic mode-change support when using
'request_framebuffer="yes"' as needed in scenarios where multiple
nitpicker instances are used in a cascaded way. E.g., Sculpt's
Leitzentrale. The previous version missed to reconstruct the
'_fb_screen' on mode changes.
Issue #3812
This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch brings the input filter into a shape that is easier to
re-mold into an event filter, reversing the client/server roles of
the component.
* The 'Sink &destination' is no longer passed as constructor argument
to the individual filters but passed as argument to the 'generate'
method. This way, the final destination does not need to exist at
the construction time of the filter chain but can be created on
the fly (clearing the way for using 'Event::Client::with_batch').
* A new 'Source::Filter' interface with the 'apply' method aids the
cascading of filters during 'generate'. The modules now implement
the 'Source::Filter::filter_event' interface instead of the
'Source::Sink::submit_event' interface.
* Since the 'Sink &destination' is no longer a member of the filter
modules, character-repeat events can no longer be emitted in an
ad-hoc way. Instead, the character-repeat mechanism now invokes
a new 'Trigger::trigger_generate' hook that prompts the execution
of the regular 'generate' mechanism by the main program.
This patch is supposed to leave the semantics of the input filter
unchanged (validated by the input_filter.run script).
Issue #3827
This is an intermediate helper component for the transition of input
servers into event clients. It works analogously to the
input_event_bridge but it connects servers instead of clients.
In particular, it can act as glue between a traditional input driver
that provides an input service and the event filter that provides an
event service. Thanks to this component, each driver can be migrated to
the event-client interface individually.

This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.

Nitpicker used to unconditionally request a framebuffer and input
session. With the transition to the new capture/event session
interfaces, this built-in policy does no longer suffice.
This patch introduces the attributes 'request_framebuffer="yes"' and
'request_input="yes"' (with the default values shown) to nitpicker's
<config> node. If setting those attributes to "no", nitpicker won't
request a "Framebuffer" and "Input" session respectively.
Issue #3812
In the presence of potentially multiple output back ends, this
dirty_rect state must be maintained individually per back end. Instead
of storing the dirty_rect as view-stack member, the view stack now calls
a new 'Damage::mark_as_damaged' interface, which allows nitpicker to
propagate this information to multiple back ends. Unfortunately, the
patch must remove the per-view dirty_rect state.

Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the

XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.

Setting the 'size' attribute will restrict a reader to consume
0s up to the specified amount per VFS handle. The attribute is

empty file with a fixed size.
Issue #3781.
So far the condition whether to spawn a new job or not depended on
the amount of data already processed. This could lead to spawning
more jobs than necessary if batching is used and in return could
result in creating invalid requests in case the tested block session

In addition to checking the amount of data the test now stores the
number of the last block and checks if the current request is in
range. This properly limits the total amount of requests.

The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.
As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.
Issue #3720
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.
- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
does not exist (yet)
Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.
The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.

- don't use 'qemu -serial mon:stdio' anymore as it no longer works as

As a result of the API change the memory handling could be simplified.
Since the Block session dataspace is now directly used for DMA, we
actually only have to provide the memory for setting up PRP lists for
large requests (for the moment more than 8 KiB of data).
As we limit the maximum data transfer length to 2 MiB, we get by with
just a page per request. Those memory is allocated beforehand for the
maximum number of I/O requests, which got bumbed to 512 entries. Since
not all NVMe controllers support such large a maximum data transfer
length and this many entries, especially older ones, the values are
capped according to the properties of the controller during
initialization. (The memory demands of the component are around 3 MiB
due to setting up for the common case, even if a particular controller
is only able to make use of less.)
(Although there are controllers whose maximum memory page size is more
than 4K, the driver is hardcoded to solely use 4K pages.)
In addition to those changes, the driver now supports the 'SYNC' and
'TRIM' operations of the Block session by using the NVMe 'FLUSH' and
'WRITE_ZEROS' commands.
Fixes#3702.
The update modification timestamp is implemented as one-shot where

This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by

The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful

be logged twice and, thus, should not be part of the core_log. The patch
mentioned above moved the former run_boot_string after the core_log
initialization.
The tar vfs plugin returns an inode value of zero and a type directory

following scenario:

</dir>
</vfs>
The following sequence of commands wrongly resulted in "Operation not

In this case, rm should not fail (unlink should return ENOENT)
Fixes#3690
When updating the domain object of interfaces that stay with the same domain
during a reconfiguration, until now, the normal "detach raw" function was used.
This caused the old domain object to discard a dynamic IP config as all
interfaces detached. This caused interfaces also to discard network links
established with the old configuration although it wasn't necessary. Thus, now
we use a dedicated "detach" in case that an interface actually stays with its
domain. This new "detach" doesn't decrease the interface counter of the domain,
so, it'll not discard its dynamic IP config. If, however, during a
reconfiguration, there's no interface calling this function (all interfaces
move to another or no domain), the dynamic IP config is still discarded as
expected.
Fixes#3686
Until now, the DHCP client was called also for DHCP requests when an interface
had a domain but yet no IP config. Now, an interface distinguishes between DHCP
requests and replies first and then accordingly calls the DHCP server or the
DHCP client if they're available. This also prevents that the DHCP client has
to handle packet headers other than that of DHCP.
Fixes#3681
Let the DHCP client be a constructible member of Interface that is constructed
only as long as the interface is attached to a domain with a dynamic IP config.
This prevents DHCP client timeouts from a period with dynamic IP config to
trigger after a reconfiguration to a static IP config. Furthermore, handle
DHCP-reply packets at an interface only when the DHCP client its constructed.
Otherwise drop such packets.

This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction

When specifying "/" or "" as rel_path to the 'Directory' constructor,
the constructed directory should refer to the same directory. The

An invalid ROM dataspace can occur, for example, when requesting a ROM
from the report_rom service before the first report was posted. Such a
<rom> node can still be useful if it's dynamic. E.g., it can be watched.
Hence, the corner case of an invalid ROM dataspace should be gracefully
handled instead of causing an abort.
Issue #3606
This patch adds a special variant of a 'Content_producer' called
'Xml_producer', which allows the direct use of an 'Xml_generator'
for generating the ROM-module content.
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
This patch extends the 'Buffered_xml' utility with a new constructor
that fills the buffer with the output of an 'Xml_generator'. It thereby
presents an easy way to generate XML to be consumed locally.
The patch also add a deprecation mark to the original 'xml' accessor
because copying 'Xml_node' objects (here as return value) is dangerous.
The new 'with_xml_node' method should instead be used to access the XML
content stored in the buffer.

Issue #693
This patch addresses a corner case where the nitpicker focus is not
solely defined by mouse clicks or (exclusively) by a window manager, but
by a policy component that takes mouse clicks and other policy (e.g.,
a lock screen) into account. It ensures that each click that follows a
focus change (however initiated) results in a new "clicked" report even
when the report looks the same. To allow the policy component to
uniquely distiguish subsequent reports, the report features a new
'version' attribute.
Fixes#3493
This is a follow-up patch for issue #1784 that solves two
inconsistencies.
- The Vfs::Timestamp::INVALID matches File_system::Timestamp::INVALID
- The Noux libc plugin tests for Timestamp::INVALID instead of a
positive value.
The patch fixes the mtime info as shown in directory listings in
Sculpt's inspect window.
This patch let the VFS server reflect the session policy via the
writeable bit in directory entries instead of merely forwarding the bit
from the respective VFS plugin. This way, all files originating from a
read-only file-system session automatically appear in directory listings
as read-only files.
Related to issue #3507
This patch prevents the driver from translating Insufficient_ram_quota
and Insufficient_cap_quota exceptions to Service_denied exceptions at
session-creation time. This enables the client to respond to such a
condition by retrying the session creation with increased session quota.
Add a new plugin for creating pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It is
intended to replace the libc_pipe plugin, one of the last remaining libc
plugins.
In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, this plugin defers cross-handle
notification until I/O signal handling rather than block and unblock
readers using a semaphore. This is a performance regression in the case
of multiple threads blocking on a pipe, but shall be an intermediate
mechanism pending renovations within the libc VFS and threading layers.
As a side effect, threads blocked on a pipe might not be resumed until
the main thread suspends and dispatches I/O signals.
The "test-libc_pipe" test has been adjusted to use the VFS pipe plugin
and tests both local pipes and pipes hosted remotely in the VFS server.

interface changes) by Norman Feske.
Fix#2303
This patch reworks the VFS server to become easier to understand.
- The packet-stream handling is hidden from the node types.
- Introduced the notion of a "job" as an abstraction from the raw packet
stream.
- The processing of requests is split into three phases:
(1) accepting new jobs,
(2) the execution of jobs, and
(3) the delivery of acknowledgements.
- There is no longer a global fifo of pending nodes. Instead, each
session has a fifo of "active" nodes, which are nodes that wait
for the completion of jobs.
- The Io_node type no longer uses virtual functions as hooks for
the derrived classes. Instead, it provides a number of utility
functions.
- The control flow of the 'Io_progress_handler' is now the same as
for the session-local packet-stream handler.
- Removed dependency from 'file_system/node.h', which is a relic
from the ram_fs.
While reworking the code, the following semantic changes were made
additionally.
- The handling of SEEK_TAIL no longer overwrites the file content at the
end of the file.
- Removed diagnostic message at session-creation time.
- Write loop for continuous files

Issue #3547
This patch equips the VFS terminal file system with the ability to
detect user interrupts in the incoming data stream, and propagate this
information via the new pseudo file '.terminal/interrupts'. Each time,
the user presses control-c in the terminal, the value stored in this
pseudo file is increased. Thereby, a VFS client can watch this file to
get notified about the occurrences of user interrupts.
Fixes#3546
The scratch buffer is now allocated from the heap and is shared
between the test as they are executed in a serial fashion. This
change saves memory as the test are constructed at start-up.
Fixes#3539.
This patch adds support for watch notifications for the
'Readonly_value_file_system', which is often used by VFS plugins to
implement pseudo files. It thereby enables VFS clients to respond to
VFS-plugin events (think of terminal resize) dynamically.
Fixes#3523
Uplink labels were stored in the uplink objects as reference. As uplink objects
may be re-used on re-configuration to avoid unnecessary closing and re-opening
of NIC sessions, the label reference could get invalid as the object that
stored the label content didn't get re-used. Thus, the label is now copied to
the uplink object.
Fixes#3529
This adds two new boolean attributes to the <report> tag of the NIC router
configuration 'link_state' and 'link_state_triggers'. The former decides
whether to report the link state of each NIC interface (downlink, uplinks) at
the NIC router. The other decides whether to trigger reporting each time the
link state of an interface changes.
Fixes#3527
If a MAC address was once allocated for a downlink and during the further
creation of the downlink an exception caused the creation to be aborted, the
NIC router didn't free the MAC address again.
Ref #3525
The handling of exceptions during session creation implies freeing and
detaching the RAM DS behind the session env and session component. But this
was done using the session env located in the same RAM DS, which must
lead to problems. Now, the session env from the RAM DS is copied to the stack
and the operations are done on this temporary instance instead.
Ref #3525
When the construction of a member of Packet_stream_*::Rpc_object after
the _cap member threw an exception, the object was not dissolved from
the entrypoint although the Rpc_object vanished at this point. This was
because the call to 'manage()' happened in the initializer list (for the
_cap member instantiation). The destruction of the _cap member then did
not dissolve the object.
This first fix moves the call to 'manage()' into the constructor body
after the instantiation of all other members. A more sophisticated fix
would use some kind of 'Managed_object' life-time guard that manages an
object on construction and dissolves on destruction.

Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like vim to edit init

This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
Moving the handling into the input-session clients enables more
sophisticated implementations (like Qt5) to apply key-symbol based
handling of those modifiers like correct CTRL-A with QWERTY and AZERTY

The commit also removes one redundant call to exec_static_constructors()

If a path element cannot be watched because it does not exist yet, the next
available parent directory is watched to detect the creation of the missing
path element. If a missing path element got created just between the failed
watch request for the element and the successful watch request for its parent

With this commit, 'fs_rom' tries to watch a path element again if the watch
request for its parent directory was successful.

When there are too many PCI devices, the Expanding_reporter regenerates

issue by putting the BDF counter initialization inside the lambda
function used to generate the report.

Issue #3283
This patch equips the 'Block::Connection' with a framework API for the
implementation of robust block-session clients that perform block I/O in
an asynchronous fashion.
An application-defined 'JOB' type, inherited from 'Connection::Job',
encapsulates the application's context information associated with a
block operation.
The lifecycle of the jobs is implemented by the 'Connection' and driven
by the application's invokation of 'Connection::update_jobs'. The
'update_jobs' mechanism takes three hook functions as arguments, which
implement the applications-defined policy for producing and consuming
data, and for the completion of jobs.
Issue #3283
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the

Issue #3111
This patch removes the blocking Block::Session::sync RPC function and
adds the asynchronous operations SYNC and TRIM to the block session's
packet-stream interface.
Even though the patch adjusts all block components to the interface
change, the components keep the former blocking handling of sync
internally for now because of the design of the 'Block::Driver'
interface. This old interface is not worth changing. We should instead
migrate the block servers step by step to the new
'Block::Request_stream' API.
Fixes#3274
The new request tag allows a block-session client to uniquely correlate
acknowledgements with outstanding requests. Until now, this was possible
for read and write operations by taking the value of the request's
packet-stream offset. However, SYNC and TRIM requests do not carry any
packet-stream payload and thereby lack meaningful offset values. By
introducing the notion of a 'tag', we can support multiple outstanding
requests of any type and don't need to overload the meaning of the
'offset' value.
Issue #3274
This patch splits the 'Request' definition into smaller types that are
suitable for the client-side API too.
The new 'Operation' type comprises the block operation's type (opcode)
and the operation's arguments (block number, block count).
The former 'Request::operation_defined' is now 'Operation::valid'.
The 'Request' aggregates an 'Operation', which changes its object
layout.
Note that this commit relaxes the bit-precise definition of 'Request' to
facilitate the use of 'unsigned long' where appropriate, in particular
for the request tag (which should correspond to an 'Id_space::Id'). The
originally bit-precise definition was pursued to allow the sharing of
the 'Request' type between SPARK and C++ code. However, it turns out
that defining a native type in each language and a (set of) converting
constructors is a more natural approach.

When receiving a terminal signal, the uart device model has to

This patch renames 'wakeup_client' to 'wakeup_client_if_needed' to
clarify that the method triggers signals only when needed, not on every

The name 'wakeup_client' is prone to misguide users to call the function
conditionally as an optimization, thereby complicating the code, but to
no effect.
Fixes#3279
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of

Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.

lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.

This is a safeguard against accidentally taking the 'Ack' interface as a

The 'Payload' interface should also not be copied (and potentially
stored) because it contains a pointer.

of the child (its name) is checked against the new configuration.

The "schedule_post_signal_hook" method of the Genode::Entrypoint class
is problematic because the signal hook can be scheduled and replaced
multiple times during the signal dispatch cycle. Add an alternative to
this method with "register_io_progress_handler" and the "Post_signal_
hook" class with "Io_progress_handler". The difference being an
"Io_progress_handler" may be registered once during the lifetime of an
entrypoint to prevent arbitrary libraries from replacing a pending hook.
The "register_io_progress_handler" remains as a deprecated API, and is
now invoked for every I/O signal received and only for I/O signals
rather than for any signal.

Issue #3179
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.

1) A session request gets denied if there is no matching session policy.
(The <defaul-policy/> tag can be used for the former default behavior)
2) A session request gets denied if the MAC address is given through the
matching policy but this address cannot be allocated.
3) A session request gets denied if the MAC address is not given through the
matching policy and it is also not possible to allocate one.
Issue #3040
This patch enhances the packet-stream API with the principle ability to
side-step the built-in implicity data-flow signals and manage the
signals manually. This allows for a more efficient batching of packet
processing.
Issue #3092
The 'tx_cap' RPC function is only used at session-creation time. For
this reason, it was not listed in the "official" RPC interface in
'block_session.h'. However, this makes the interface more obscure than
it needs to be. So this patch promotes it to a regular RPC function.
Issue #3092
This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.
The most prominent changes are:
- Removing the use of base/printf.h
- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
'Connection' classes.
- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
come to an end now.
- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.
- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.
- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.
Issue #1987
The notion of a RAM session does not exist anymore. Hence, we have to
adjust the name of 'init_env_ram_session'. Since this change modifies
the ABI, it comes as separate commit.

Issue #3111
Move the allocation of the session packet buffer into a subclass that is
constructed before the File_system RPC object. This allows the buffer
allocation to be wrapped in a constructor/destructor class and clearly
accounted for.
Fix#3134
The situation where a 'Session_policy' is constructed for a label with
no matching policy is in almost all cases a configuration problem.
A diagnostic message eases pin-pointing such mistaks. By adding the
message to the 'Session_policy', servers don't need to manually handle
the exception to provide diagnostic information. This simplifies the
server code in many components.
The former 'Genode::Timed_semaphore' mechanism is moved to the private
part of the two remaining users, namely dde_rump and the libc. Note
there are now two private copies of 'timed_semaphore.h'. This should be
regarded as an interim step until the use of this mechanism is removed
from both users.
This patch also cleans up the mechanism from legacy Genode API calls and
global side effects (alarm-thread singleton). The test/timed_semaphore
is now located at the libports repository as it now tests a mechanism of
the libc. The former timed_semaphore library is no more.
Fixes#3121
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
This patch improves the window decorators in the following respects:
* Strict warnings are enabled now.
* The use of the 'List_model' makes the application of window-
layout changes more robust. This is particularly the case for
the restacking of windows.
* Display-mode changes are now supported by both decorators.
Issue #3094
Init's state reports are updated whenever an interesting part of init's
internal state changes (e.g., when sessions are established, or when
children are started/removed). However, until now, a change of a skipped
heartbeat counter was not taken as trigger for state-report updates.
In scenarios where no other intersting event happened, the last reported
state did no reflect the current heartbeat state. In particular, when
the last report was issued during the construction of a new child just
before the child became able to respond to heartbeat requests, the stale
report hinted at heartbeat problems that were just an initialization
artifact. This problem became visible on some Qemu platform where the
child startup takes a long time.
The patch tracks the observed skipped-heartbeat counter and triggers a
report whenever the counter value changes.
Issue #3079
By adding an additional synchronization point in the form of a matched
log message, this patch makes the timing behavior of the "test changing
provided services" step more deterministic. Without it, the scheduling
of OKL4 and base-hw resulted in a merge of two config updates into one.
Issue #3079
Packets whose data is stored within the Packet_descriptor itself
but not as payload, .e.g Usb::Packet_descriptor, are valid packets
after all. So loosen the packet valid check for zero-sized packets
is reasonable.
Fixes#3076.
Our overall nightly test time greatly decreases when the timeouts for
the single tests are not that over-pessimistic. Using the slowest
platforms as reference, this commit reduces the test timeouts.
Ref #3027
For reading the MAC address we try first to read it from the <policy> tag, and
when it is not defined in the <policy> tag, we allocate a MAC. But there was
no handling of the case that there is no appropriate <policy> tag. In this
case we want to create the session with an allocated MAC also.
This patch makes init robust against invalid routing rules that lack a
name attribute in the '<service>' node. This situation may occur when
interactively editing routes in Sculpt.
Some application code is dereferencing the pointer returned by
'packet_content' at packet streams without checking that it is valid.
Throw an exception rather than return a null pointer, except for
zero-length packets, which have somewhat implicit invalid content and
that we believe to be properly handled in all current cases.
The client-side of a packet stream cannot take corrective action if the
server-side is sending packets with invalid content, but the servers
that provide packet streams should catch this exception to detect
misbehaving clients.

Change the root of a session request into an explicit path and apply the

The bulk buffer is now 64Byte-aligned so that the allocated
packets get aligned likewise (assumed the packet allocator uses an
appropriately aligned block size). This ensures that each packet
starts at a new cache line on common platforms.
Issue #3053
This patch improves the detection of new appearing top-most windows.
Such a window should prompt the decorator to bring the corresponding
nitpicker view(s) to the front of the view stack. The original
implementation relied on hints provided by the layouter (the 'topped'
attribute). With the patch, the decorator tracks the top-most window by
itself, which improves the robustness.
As a second improvement, the patch defers the destruction of windows to
the point when all other window operations are completed. This hides
intermediate states when replacing one window by another in one step,
which is typical for console-like scenarios. Hence, this patch should
eliminate flickering artifacts when switching from one virtual console
to another.
Issue #3031
* Account all RAM/CAP quota of a session except quota for metadata used in
core. The latter is considered when asking if a session can afford to make

atop of the allocators down to the level of RAM/RM session operations.

Like suggested by RFC 2663, reprogram the dissolve timeout of a TCP link
state to 2 times the maximum segment lifetime (by default 1 minute) when
receiving a matching packet with the FIN flag set, or with the ACK flag
set to acknowledge a FIN of the remote side.
Mark a link state as closed (no further reprogramming of the dissolve
timeout) and set the dissolve timeout to 2 times the maximum segment
lifetime when receiving a packet with the RESET flag set.
Issue #2953
If the NIC router has insufficient CAP or RAM quota for the creation of
a state object for an interface, it tries to destroy a certain amount of
existing state objects of this interface to free resources. Afterwards,
it retries handling the current packet once. If it does fail again, the
router drops the packet.

The VFS server does not support file-system with one single-file plugin

This patch addresses a situation where _process_packets was called as a

Description from https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html
The ten grey keys Insert, Home, PgUp, Delete, End, PgDn, Up, Left,
Down, Right are supposed to function regardless of the state of Shift
and NumLock keys. But for an old AT keyboard the keypad keys would
produce digits when Numlock was on or Shift was down. Therefore, in
order to fool old programs, fake scancodes are sent: when LShift is
down, and Insert is pressed, e0 aa e0 52 is sent; upon release of
Insert e0 d2 e0 2a is sent. In other words, a fake LShift-up and fake
LShift-down are inserted.

Fix#2923
When the cached_fs_rom saturates the packet stream of its File_system
session it will call the session request handler recursively as pending
transfers are completed. This is bad because the content of the XML node
currently being processed will change.
The session request handler can no longer be called directly, but the
"schedule" method will submit a signal to the request handler, and
requests will be processed after the current operation has completed.
Calling 'handle_io_response()' in a regular VFS function (in contrast to a
post-signal hook) can cause problems if the caller of the VFS function holds
a lock which prevents the io response handler from returning.
With this commit, the user of the VFS becomes responsible for unblocking
threads which might be blocking after a failed 'queue_read()', 'queue_sync()'
or 'write()' call.
Fixes#2896
This new vfs_import plugin allows a VFS instance to be populated during
construction using a sub-VFS configured in an '<import>' configuration
node. This allows the ram_fs File_system server to be replaced by the
VFS server by reimplementing the ram_fs 'content' feature. At the
moment the copying of symlinks is not enabled, and the resources
obtained by the import file-system may not be freed after the import is
finished.
Fix#2906
The ram plugin to the VFS must send notifications to watch handles on

Move run/fs_report to gems and use the vfs server and the vfs init
plugin in the test.
Ref #2902
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
When mounting a ROM module with binary="no", the
vfs will detect the 0-termination to calculate the
file size instead of using the dataspace size.
Fixes#2903
Process I/O packets in batches. If a batch is processed and there are
still packets pending, send a signal locally to the packet handler and
return to the entrypoint signal dispatcher. This prevents clients from
starving each other, which happens when a client continuously submits
packets at a faster rate than the server can process.

Test of File_system I/O scheduling. It appears that a client not

The 200-second timeout of the init test triggers on some test platform
(in particular on qemu) while it is overly pessimistic on others.
This patch aims at stabilizing the timing behavior of the test across
the tested kernels/machines.
This is a follow-up patch of "init: avoid too eager child restart". On
each config update of init, init re-applies child-specific configuration
changes. In the case of an already exited child, this re-evaluation
wrongly marked such a child as abandoned because the child's environment
sessions do no longer exist. Abandoning the child, in turn, triggers the
destruction and subseqent restart (because the <start> node of the
configuration still exists). The latter is bad for two reasons.
First, the exit state of the original instance becomes lost. Second, the
restart may have unexpected side effects due to sessions created by the
new instance. I.e., when resizing a partition in sculpt, init would
wrongly restart the gpt-write tool after the tool successfully exited.
This collides with a newly started instance of part_blk/resize2fs, which
now competes with the second gpt-write instance for the exclusive access
of the targeted block device.
The patch prevents init from re-applying configurations to exited
children. The accompanied test case covers the corner case.
Do not simply wait for the good ping test to finish, but for the other
flood tests to trigger the RAM exhaustion. This makes the test more
robust with slower platforms or a different timing.

The log messages covered by verbose_packet_drop were previously
configured by the verbose attribute. This isn't the case anymore. Now,
you can configure them as follows:
! <config verbose_packet_drop="no" ... >
! <domain verbose_packet_drop="no" ... />
! <config/>
The new attribute determines whether to log each packet drop and the
rational behind it. The <config> value affects all domains without a
<domain> local value.
Issue #2857
The default value of each <domain> is the <config> value. However, if
a <domain> local value is set, the <config> value doesn't affect this

The ICMP-Echo-server functionality of the router has the following
configuration attributes (default values shown):
! <config icmp_echo_server="yes">
! <domain icmp_echo_server="yes" ... />
! </config>
The icmp_echo_server attribute configures whether the router answers ICMP Echo
requests that address the router. The <config> value affects all domains
without a <domain> local value.
Issue #2874
When a domain is updated to a new component config, the two criteria for
keeping an ARP waiting state of a remote domain are whether the remote
domain still exists and whether its IP config is still the same. This
means that a domain must also dissolve all of its remote ARP waiting
states if its IP config changes (without an update of the component
config). This wasn't the case until now.
Issue #2840
The chroot server was conceived to automatically place File_system
sessions into segregated root directories by converting session labels
to paths. If multiple children needed to be grouped under the same path,
a 'merge' policy would truncate the session label before path conversion.
Now that init can rewrite session labels and thus reproduce truncation,
the chroot merge feature is redundant and can be removed.

Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.

Dissolve and destroy the invalid domain first before deinitializing all
domains for the next round. This way, the deinitialization is not done twice
for the invalid domain.
Issue #2840
Due to a bug in the deinitialization of the DHCP server of a domain (the
reference to the destroyed object was not cleared), the NIC router could
end up in a page fault caused by a double-free at the heap. This also fixes
the previously missing dissolving of the "DNS-server-from" relation to a
remote domain.
Issue #2840
Currently has three clients that continuously create new UDP/TCP/ICMP
connections through the NIC router with NAT to the outer world and they
get never closed. A fourth client does normal ping through the same
domain to the outer world that must succeed even after the RAM quota of
the other session at the router is exhausted. The test is restricted to
Qemu to not being at risk to flood real networks.
Issue #2857
This patch weakens the aggressive restart of a child with incomplete
environment sessions. The restart check is performed each time
the init configuration changes. In sculpt, this is not a rare special
case anymore but a frequent case when using the depot_rom as provider
for environment ROM sessions. In particular when starting a chain of
inter-depending children, the sculpt-manager quickly generates a
sequence of configurations with successively added start nodes.
The addition of the 'Cap_consumer' feature to app/dummy increased the
static RAM demand of the component to a point where 1 MiB no longer
suffices on sel4 (on this kernel, the base library uses a larger amount
of statically allocated data compared to the others). The tweaks enable
init.run and init_loop.run to work on sel4 on x86-64.
Selecting an alternate interface setting, even if it is the same as the
current one, apparently makes the INQUIRY command fail with USB devices
like 'SanDisk Ultra Fit' (0781:5583) and 'Corsair Flash Voyager'
(1b1c:1a03) when the USB block driver is restarted.
Fixes#2860
* Catch Quota_guard exceptions wherever we do 'new (_alloc)' in Interface
and in case drop the packet that caused the exception
* Modify Interface::handle_config_2 to not use the guarded allocator of the
NIC session quota as we cannot handle a RAM exhaustion well at this point
in time. Instead use a Constructible member in Interface so that a needed
RAM adds up to the calculation in the create_session implementation where
an exhaustion is handled via a service denial.
Issue #2857
The interface destructor called pure virtual methods at least when
cancelling ARP- waiting states. The implementations were made by the
deriving classes Session_component respectively Uplink. This led to an
abort of the NIC router as the destruction of the derived class was
already done. A similar problem already occured in the past during the
construction of Interface and was back then solved by introducing a
separate init() method. This commit, however, solved the problem by
making Interface a member of the other classes. Therefore, the init()
method could be removed again. Furthermore, the interface polica could be
moved from Session_component_base to Session_component. The commit also
had to generalize the way the link state of an interface is determined.
Fixes#2856
While a child is abandoned, we must limit the start of anothers with
the same name. Otherwise - of the child has startup problems - a number
of abandoned children with the same name may queue up. This becomes a
problem whenever the child destruction depends on an asynchronous
service that provides an env session for the children. If the service is
unable to keep up with the session requests (both create and close),
the queue of abandoned children becomes unbounded. Limiting the child
creation rate to one abandoned child per name mitigates this problem.
This patch reduces the latency of state reports when children are
removed or added, thereby, accellerating the feedback loop between a
management component and init during the staged startup or removal of
inter-dependent components.
This test monitors the RAM quota of a dynamic init and a server hosted
within the dynamic init in the presence of a repeatedly created and
destructed client.
Previously we were doing the initialization once over all domains,
remembered which of them became invalid and destroyed those afterwards.
This isn't sufficient. As soon as one domain becomes invalid we have to
dissolve/destroy this one, deinitialize all other domains again (as they
could contain references to the invalid domain) and retry to initialize
them from the beginning. We proceed with this until we have one run
without a domain becoming invalid. Then we can be sure that the last
initialization run did not create references to any invalid domain.
Issue #2840
The generic helper Avl_string_tree of the NIC router is currently only

identifier.

In contrast to most information of init's state reports, which can be
monitored at a relatively low rate (like 2 seconds in Sculpt's runtime),
resource requests call for an immediate response by the consumer of the
report. Otherwise the requesting child stays unnecessarily blocked until
the next rate-limited state report is due. This patch adds a fast lane
for such low-latency state updates to init.
Do not send nor buffer packets at interfaces with link state "down". This
prevents that packets that were routed to one network (allowed to see them),
due to a sudden link down/up, are leaked to another network that is not
allowed to see them.
When updating an interface in the NIC router to a new configuration and
the domain name of the interface has not changed but the domain
disappeared, the NIC router did not detach from the old domain correctly
which led to broken remnants of interface state objects (like connection
states).
Adapt the nic_router_uplinks run script to work with the fix.
fs_report truncated the report file on construction of the report
session to mimic an "empty report". This prevented existing use cases
where the initial state was already written to the file system by other
means.
I doubt that use cases exist where the inital empty-report mimic is
needed and (if I'm wrong) there is still the race of the consumer
reading the file just before the report session is constructed.
Reporters that want to enforce an empty initial report should send it
explicitly.
Clients may wish to act on missing files. In any case the fs_rom
needs to reopen a watch handle when a file is deleted, and this
sort of change to the internal state machine is propelled by
client RPC requests.
Fix#2839
The new 'displays' report contains information about the used
framebuffer backend. It is issued when nitpicker has successfully passed
all initialization, in particular the connection to the framebuffer
driver. Hence, it can be taken as an indicator of whether the framebuffer
is available or not (e.g., caused by a faulty driver).
When re-configuring the NIC router, determine for each domain if at least one
interface stays with the domain. If a domain fullfills this and has a
dynamic IP config (received via a DHCP client), keep the IP config.
To achieve this, the following changes have been made to the existing NIC
router code:
* Split-up Interface::handle_config into three steps:
1) Determine for each interface if its domain can keep its IP config or
or if it has to mark it invalid. This must be done before (re-)attaching
any interface because during "attach" several decisions are made based on
the validity of the IP config of corresponding the domain.
(E.g. whether to participate in sending DHCP DISCOVERs {IP config
invalid} or whether to participate in sending pending ARP REQUESTs
{IP config valid} ).
2) Detach, attach, or re-attach each interface according to the
configuration. This must be done before re-considering the temporary
state objects of each interface because the latter might have effects
on the interfaces of remote domains which must then be in place already.
3) Re-consider temporary state objects of each interface. (E.g. transport
layer connection states)
* Re-work IP-config setter in a way that it works as follows:
1) If the old IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain detach from the old
IP config.
2) Overwrite with new IP config
3) If the new IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain attach to the new
IP config.
Issue #2815
The new attribute config.domain.label has effect only at the uplink
domain-tag. It determines which label the NIC router shall use when
requesting the NIC session for the uplink domain. If value of this
attribute changes at the uplink domain-tag, the NIC router closes and
re-requests the NIC session of the uplink with the new label.
