BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY:
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
HOW TO ADJUST:
At each occurrence of the '<uplink ...>' tag in a NIC router configuration
replace the tag name 'uplink' with 'nic-client'. The rest of the tag stays the
same.
The term "uplink" for network interfaces in the router that have a NIC session
client as back end was introduced in a time when Uplink sessions didn't yet
exist. Now, they do and, although both an uplink and an Uplink session
normally describe a network session between router and network device driver,
they are based on two different service types (NIC and Uplink). This can easily
cause confusion when integrating the router (the <uplink> is not related to
Uplink sessions) or trying to understand its functioning (an 'Uplink' object
has nothing to do with the Uplink service).
Therefore, this commit introduces the more specific term "NIC client" for an
interface that is based on a NIC session requested by the router. This doesn't
imply any semantic changes at the NIC router. However, the commit also brings a
broader update of the router's README and removes the term "downlink" that was
used only in documentation to refer to interfaces backed by a NIC session
provided by the router. The term was only associated with this meaning because
it is the natural counterpart to an uplink. This isn't appropriate anymore as
the terms for interface types have moved to a more technical level.
The commit adjusts all scenarios in the basic Genode repositories properly.
Fixes#4238
I discovered thinkbroadband.com requires the User-Agent header field and
rejects requests missing it with HTTP response code 403 "access to the
requested resource is forbidden". Now, fetchurl always adds the
User-Agent header fetchurl/LIBCURL_VERSION.
Also the error message now contains the HTTP response code.
The symlink implementation wrongly constructed a 'Sync' object within
the context of a monitor call. The 'Sync' constructor indirectly
depended on libc I/O for obtaining the current time, ultimately
resulting in a nested attempt of a monitor call. This could be
reproduced via the base.run script:
$ cd /home
$ ln -s a b
The 'ln' command resulted in the following log message:
[init -> /bin/bash -> 7] Error: deadlock ahead, mutex=0x10ff8c70, return ip=0x500583a7
The patch fixes the problem by splitting the single monitor call into
two monitor calls and moving the construction of the 'Sync' object
in-between both monitor calls, thereby executing the constructor at the
libc application level.
Fixes#4219
- Patch the XHCI model in order to handle frame wrapping correctly. For
this adjust 'mfindex_kick' to the correct period (same, before, or after
'mfindex').
- Flush EP when it is stopped, this causes all pending packets for the EP
to be acked. Correct counting of packets in flight.
- Add BEI patch by Josef.

- API packages for: libusb, libuvc, and libyuv
- Source packages for: API packages + USB webcam app
- Meta package for USB webcam
- Raw package for USB webcam configuration
issue #4196
Because qemu-usb allocated host devices after 'USB_HOST_DEVICE' in the
object array and 'USB_WEBCAM' is loacated after 'USB_HOST_DEVICE' the
webcam model can overwrite an already allocated pass-through device. As
a solution add the 'USB_FIRST_FREE' to make it clear from where host
devices can be allocated. Also increase the number of supported host
devices to eight.
fixes#4182
After update of stdcxx, either hardware (CPU) random sources are taken
or, if not available/insufficient, /dev/urandom is used.

Issue #4094
The old port version contained '*.ali' files that were build with an older GCC
which led to problems when compiling packages that use the port with the new
GCC 10. The '*.ali' files of the new port version were generated with GCC 10.
