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.

In case of the GPU multiplexer, we need to delegate MMIO memory
to the framebuffer client in form of a managed dataspace. To be
able to attach a given Platform::Device::Mmio object to a region map
we need to access its capability.

This commit fixes two issues with the timeout lib and the base-hw src recipe:
* Add source files of timeout lib to recipe content.
The files weren't copied to the depot until now. However, the archive
nonetheless built successfully because of the second issue that is described
below.
* Get rid of the usage of the BASE_DIR variable in the timeout lib.
The BASE_DIR variable always resolves to the repos/base directory even when
building in a depot. That said, the use of BASE_DIR in make-files that are
not part of the build system itself must be avoided. Instead, REP_DIR,
REP_INC_DIR, and $(call select_from_repositories, ...) should be used.

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.

When creating an Irq connection to a component (not core), e.g. a pin
driver, we typically need a to provide a session label in order to apply
a session policy and to distinguish multiple sessions from the same
component.

This is a follow-up commit for "menu_view: configurable alpha channel
and bg color", which simplifies the code. The '_no_alpha' surface is not
needed because the 'Gui_buffer' provides a 0x0 alpha surface when using
the opaque mode.
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).

With the increase of MAXPHYS, the rump kernel requests a contiguous
allocation of 2101248 bytes, which exceeds the allocator's block size of
2 MiB.
Error: backend allocator: Unable to allocate memory (size: 2101248 align: 12)
The patch avoids this corner case by increasing the allocator's block
size to 4 MiB.

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.

This patch changes the access of pkg-archives files such that the file
read only once per pkg, not for each ROM module used by the package.
Issue #4611
By caching directory listings, the performance of depot_query is no
longer impeded by a massive amount of stat calls while searching for ROM
module locations.
Issue #4611
Upon closer inspection of real-world access patterns, it turns out that
the 'Stat_cache' and 'Cached_rom_query' are not as effective as hoped
for because cache hits are rare while querying pkg blueprints.
However, by increasing the initial size of the blueprint reporter from 4
KiB (default) to 64 KiB has a great effect. With the small default
report size, the querying of blueprints is repeated until the buffer
size suffices, incrementing the buffer size by 4 KiB in each iteration.
Issue #4611
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
platform driver because it would be ambigious now.
Fixes#4610
This patch avoids repetitive depot queries at the start of the Sculpt
system.
We don't need to trigger a query unconditionally whenever the
managed/deploy changes because the call of 'handle_deploy' triggers a
query when needed.
We don't need to trigger a query once the prepare step is completed
because the depot_query component is spawned at this point. The initial
blueprint produced by the depot_query component, in turn, triggers the
'handle_deploy' mechanics in the sculpt manager.
The constructor of the Sculpt manager's 'Main' does not need to call
'depot_deploy' because the prepare step - which is a precondition for
the deployment - cannot be completed at this point anyway.
Do not advance ring buffer positions when playing silence, additionally
to not send progress signals when playing silence. Silence implies
underrun in the client side - not progress.
issue #4609
In case a driver is waiting for data, is should only investigate 'pos'.
It should not advance the ring in any way until there is data available.
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
This patch splits the former DEPOT=omit option into two variants.
The new 'list' option behaves like the former 'omit' option, skipping
the creation of the tar archive from the depot content referenced by the
deploy configuration but showing a list of depot archives that need to
be published for the deployment.
When specifying 'omit' in th new version, the local depot is not queried
for the packages referenced in the deploy configuration. So the
deployment can refer to packaged hosted only remotely.
Fixes#4605
Tracing must be inhibited in attach/detach as RPC trace points may
trigger attachment of trace dataspaces, which would result in nested
mutex acquisition.
This prevents errors in test-trace_logger like follows.

Fixes#4607
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 updated Bender version is configurable regarding the mode in which to run
the Intel HWP plugin. This can now be controlled via the new run option
'--bender-intel-hwp-mode' (only when running on NOVA). The option knows 4 valid
values 'off', 'performance', 'balanced', and 'power_saving'. When running on
NOVA, the default value applied by the run tool is 'performance'. when running
on any other kernel, the default value of Bender ('off') is used. Therefore,
when not setting the new '--bender-intel-hwp-mode' flag, the behavior is the
same as before this commit.

The libc kernel used to silently go on if one of the files given through
stdin/stdout/stderr or <fd path=""> was missing (with possibly vital
functionality for the component not working). A pointer to the presumably
simple configuration issue of the underlying scenario was not given to the
user.
With this commit, the libc kernel prints a descriptive warning before
proceeding with the invalid file descriptor
Fixes#4218
The libc kernel used to end up in an uncaught exception if one of the
directories in the paths given through stdin/stdout/stderr or <fd path=""> was
missing. The resulting error didn't point the user to the presumably simple
configuration issue of his scenario in any way and killed the affected
component.
With this commit, the libc kernel prints a descriptive warning instead and
simply continues to run the component with the corresponding file descriptor
missing. At least in case of stdin/stdout/stderr, the libc deals gracefully
with this approach.
