Reintroduce:
USB Attached SCSI devices might expose a bulk-only interface
as fall-back at interface 0 and alternate setting 0. This commit
allows for probing all alternate settings of the active interface
to be able to use such devices.
The configuration was extended so that in case the device interface
is known beforehand the driver can be configured accordingly.
Additionally:
Perform configuration reset upon sessions close in order to bring USB
device to a well defined state.

Implement the guest code in dedicated assembler source file, assemble
and link the binary to vmm_x86. The resulting guest-code binary
populates one page that is mapped to host the reset vector of the guest.
This approach simplifies future guest code adaption resp. extension,
e.g., to test rdmsr/wrmsr exiting.

This reverts commit 9a37ccfe29 except for the
new declarations in public headers (in order to not change any APIs again).
We revert the commit as we found that there are corner cases in which it
produces a bad UDP checksum. The bad UDP checksum was observed via Wireshark at
a TFTP server in a Sculpt 22.10 Debian 11 VM on the first request of fetching a
file with the TFTP client of the uboot on our iMX8 test board.

According to OpenBSD's azalia driver some AMD HDAudio devices do not

Some DHCP clients (Debian VM in Sculpt) persistently store the last lease they
obtained and try to directly DHCP REQUEST it on a new startup whithout doing
DHCP DISCOVER beforehand. In case the NIC router doesn't know about the lease
anymore (timeout, new router instance), the router used to just ignore the DHCP
REQUEST. This led to significant delays in the network startup of the client
(delayed retries until give-up and DHCP DISCOVER). With this commit, the router
answers such packets with a DHCP NAK instead, causing the client to directly
switch to DHCP DISCOVER.
Fixes#4634
On-demand initialization prevents read-write operations on BARs of
invalid devices at construction time, which may result in surprising
behavior later on, for example, when resetting X260 notebooks via ACPI
information.
These utilities simplify the control of clocks, resets, and power
domains from within the platform driver.
This is needed when driving a low-level device directly from the
platform driver, for example for driving the mbox mechanism to access
the system-control processor of the PinePhone.
Implemented as depicted in the OpenBSD driver, register description
found in 'AMD SB700/710/750 Register Reference Guide'
(43009_sb7xx_rrg_pub_1.00.pdf).

Instead of using a global value to enumerate the MSIs, use a function argument
instead. Whenever the process of PCI device reporting gets started again,
due to an initially too small report buffer, the MSI enumeration value is reset
again. Formerly, we wasted MSI numbers.

Instead of allowing the client to set a caching attribute
in the io_mem() call of the device interface, which was
only used to decide in between of the memory being
write-combined or not, remove it from the API.
Instead use the information delivered by the devices ROM,
whether memory from a PCI BAR is prefetchable or not,
to decide whether it is mapped write-combined or not.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4578
Memory descriptors in PCI BARs have a prefetchable bit, which can
be used to optimize memory access when setting, e.g. write-combined
in page-table entries.

The DHCP client used to always send packets with a size of 1024 regardless of
the size of the actual content, which was always significantly lower. 1024
bytes was simply a guess to provide enough space for all types of DHCP client
packets. As we know the exact size of each packet the DHCP client sends even
before packet creation, this commit makes use of the knowledge resulting in
much smaller packets sent by the DHCP client.

Consumes the information about reserved memory region reports from
the devices ROM, and adds appropriated mappings to the corresponding

Ref genodelabs/genode#4578
We need the information about reserved memory region reports
from the ACPI tables within the platform driver to pre-fill
IOMMU tables with the corresponding mappings. Therefore,
the pci_decode component now parses the information from the
ACPI ROM, and adds "reserved_memory" nodes to all related
devices in the devices report.

This commit gets rid of the router-local wrapper of Genode's AVL string tree
and replaces it with Genode's new Dictionary structure. The Dictionary is now
used for managing domains and NIC clients. Due to this change, the formerly
necessary helper classes Domain_base and Nic_client_base could be removed as
well.
Ref #4610
The default file-system communication-buffer size of 128 KiB combined
with the clamping of requests to 1/4th the buffer size results in the
fragementation of read operations into 32 KiB chunks. This is overly
conservative and causes high context-switch overhead down the storage
stack (vfs server -> part_block -> block driver).

The NIC router README claims that the 'dns_config_from' attribute in a DHCP
server configuration binds the propagated link state of all interfaces at the
domain of the server to the validity of the IP config of the domain that is
given through 'dns_config_from'.
However, this was not true. The router missed to implement this detail which
led to clients of such a DHCP server sending DHCP DISCOVER packets too early.
These early DHCP DISCOVER packets were dropped by the router potentially
causing a big delay until the client started a new attempt. Unnecessary long
network boot-up delays were observed with at least the lwip run script and
Sculpt on the PinePhone and could be tracked down to this former
inconsistency in the router.
This commit fixes the inconsistency.

The new 'Dictionary' provides an easy way to access objects using
strings as key. The 'String' received the 'operator >' to simplify the
organization of strings in an AVL tree.
The patch removes the former definition of the 'operator >' from the

issue #4609
This patch consolidates the repetitive error handling across the RPC
functions, which take node handles or directory handles as arguments.
During this change, I noticed that directory handles - which are values
provided by the client - were not checked for their type before being
used. A misbehaving client may open a file, manually construct a
directory handle using the number of the file handle, and invoke a
directory operation at lx_fs, which would then wrongly access a file
node as directory node.
This patch solves this issue by introducing two distinct methods
_with_open_node and _with_open_dir_node, which perform the respective
safety checks.
Fixes#4608
Creating and destructing an interface was not considered a change of its real
link state as defined in the description of the <report link_state_triggers="">
config attribute in the router's README. In case of Uplink sessions this is
obviously a problem as they communicate their real link state through session
lifetime. But also in case of NIC sessions it's a possible to create an
interface that is immediately "up" after creation or destruct an interface
without its link state going "down" beforehand.
Taking into account also the practical application of the
<report link_state_triggers=""> attribute, reporting only on destruction and
construction of interfaces that are "up" seems shorthanded. This is because a
report-receiver most likely needs to be able to synchronize the lifetime of
the objects that keep track of the link states with the lifetime of the
corresponding sessions.
That said, with this commit, the router triggers a report update on each
session construction/destruction when <report link_state_triggers=""> is
set.
Fixes#4462
The NIC router used to generate reports triggered by IP config changes or link
state changes synchonously, i.e., inline with the activation context that
caused the change. This has two disadvantages. First, it can lead to an
excessive number of report updates in situations with quick bursts of
triggering changes. In such situations it is preferable to collect the changes
and reflect them with only one final report update.
Second, synchronous reporting may happen while the router is in a state that
leads to an incorrect report (e.g. during reconfiguration). To prevent this
from happening, the router so far explicitely switched off reporting when
entering incoherent states and back on when leaving them. However, this
solution is error-prone as the exclusion windows must be maintained manually.
Both issues can be solved by not directly generating a report when necessary
but instead submitting a signal and letting the signal handler do the work in
a dedicated activation context.
Ref #4462
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.
Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!
With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.
Fixes#4603
The DHCP client of the NIC router used to end up in an uncaught exception if
an IP address in the DNS server option of a DHCP ACK was invalid. This commit
makes the 'Dns_server' constructor (where the exception originated from)
private and instead introduces a public lambda method 'construct' that calls
one lambda argument on success and another on failure. This is also in line
with the most recent changes to the 'find_by_*' methods of other classes in
the NIC router and contributes to the goal of reducing expensive exception
handling.
Fixes#4465
The Interface class of the router is an abstraction for NIC client sessions,
NIC server sessions, and Uplink sessions. Nonetheless, Interface generally used
to use the packet stream types of the Nic namespace and it worked because the
Uplink packet stream types are factually the same (the are typedef'd from the
same base type templates with the same parameters).
The initial intention of this issue was to remove dependency on the diverse
packet stream stream types from Interface. However, this turned out to be more
tricky than thought. The Interface class calls function templates on the packet
stream types, making a generic virtual interface impossible. And moving the
calling code to the session classes as well would produce a lot of redundancy.
Therefore, this commit removes only the use of the Nic namespace in the
interface.* files by typedef'ing the packet stream types from the generic
Genode type templates with the same parameters as in Nic and Uplink.
Fixes#4385
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.

Issue #4584
The NIC router used to send an ICMP "Destination Unreachable" packet as
response to every unroutable IPv4 packet. However, RFC 1812 section 4.3.2.7
defines certain properties that must be fullfilled by an incoming packet in
order to be answered with this type of ICMP. One requirement is that the packet
is no IPv4 multicast.
This commit prevents sending the mentioned ICMP response for unroutable IPv4
multicasts and instead drops them silently.

"virt_qemu_riscv".
issue #4034
The NIC router used to add the DNS servers field to DHCP replies regardless of
whether there were DNS servers or not. As reported by a Genode user, the empty
DNS server field irritated at least Windows 10 guests (Vbox 6) that connected
to the NIC router. This resulted in Windows 10 ignoring DHCP offers from the
router with such characteristic.
With this commit adding the DNS server DHCP option is skipped if there are no
DNS servers at the corresponding DHCP server or the domain IP config the server
shall fetch its DNS servers from.

Ref #4555
In overload situations, i.e. when a sender fills up the entire buffer, we land
in situations where the sender receives an ack_avail signal, releases one
packet, allocates and sends a packet and fails to allocate a second packet.
This is especially relevant if the receiver does not batch ack_avail signals
(such as vfs_lwip). In those ping-pong scheduling scenarios, the overhead from
catching the Packet_alloc_failed exception becomes significant. In case of the
NIC router, we will land in an overload situation if the sender is faster than
the receiver. The packet buffer will be filled up at some point and the NIC
router starts to drop packets. For every dropped packet, we currently have to
catch the Packet_alloc_failed exception.
This commit adds a new method alloc_packet_attempt to Packet_stream_source that
has almost the same signature as the older alloc_packet method but returns
an Attempt<Packet_descriptor, Alloc_packet_error> object. As the method already
used the allocator back end exception-less, changes on lower levels were not
needed. Furthermore, the NIC router was modified to use the new exception-less
alloc_packet_attempt instead of alloc_packet.
Ref #4555
Replaces the former implementation of the 'find_by_ip' method at the data
structure for ARP cache entries. This method used to return a reference to the
found object and threw an exception if no matching object was found.
The new implementation doesn't return anything and doesn't throw exceptions. It
takes two lambda arguments instead. One for handling the case that a match was
found with a reference to the matching object as argument and another for
handling the case that no object matches.
This way, expensive exception handling can be avoided and object references
stay in a local scope.

According to a benchmarking series on Zynq (base-hw) and x260 (base-nova) using
test-nic_perf_router, increasing the 'max_packets_per_signal' has a significant
effect on the packet throughput. By increasing the default value from 32
to 150, we could gain a few hundred Mbit/s. Increasing the value further
does not seem to have such a strong effect, though.
