This way, the redirected env sessions for the CPU burner are no longer
called directly by init. Init stays independent from the behavior of the
CPU balancer.

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.

Fix#3926
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
all this common code to qemu.inc.

Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.
Ref #3816
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 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.

* Differentiate in between different architectures with assembler routines
for correct measures
* Automate first step measuring of 10G bogomips across different hardware
Fix#3785
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
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.
Fixes#3784
The 'vfs_block' component will give access to a VFS file through a
Block session. For more detailed information please look at its
README.
(On a technical note, the server currently only allows for one
active session and has only one pending back end request but can
easily be extended in the future.)
Fixes#3781.
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
- don't use 'qemu -serial mon:stdio' anymore as it no longer works as
expected
- use "bash -l" with [terminal] to read user's profile configuration,
e.g., PATH settings
- added missing boot modules and cap quotas
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.
This patch fixes a regression with run/log_core introduced by
2064ffd64b nova: support multidimensional affinity space
The run tool uses a log message 'run_boot_string' to detect successful
boot as well as to detect unexpected reboots. This message should never
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.
