The utilities in os/session_policy.h used to be tailored for the
matching of session arguments against a server-side policy
configuration. However, the policy-matching part is useful in other
situations, too. This patch removes the tight coupling with the
session-argument parsing (via Arg_string) and the hard-wired use of
'Genode::config()'.
To make the utilities more versatile, the 'Session_label' has become a
'Genode::String' (at the time when we originally introduced the
'Session_label', there was no 'Genode::String'). The parsing of the
session arguments happens in the constructor of this special 'String'.
The constructor of 'Session_policy' now takes a 'Genode::String' as
argument. So it can be used with the 'Session_label' but also with other
'String' types. Furthermore, the implicit use of 'Genode::config()' can
be overridden by explicitly specifying the config node as an argument.
Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly
kill subsystems but both used to ignore gracefully exiting subsystems.
It was the user's job to remove the remains of those subsystems. The
patch takes the burden of manually killing exited subsystems from the
user.
Fixes#1685
* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
Fix#1697
The intention of Packet_ref was to allow clients to place opaque
references into the packet descriptor itself, which could be observed on
packet completion. Currently no component in our sources uses this
feature and beyond that it is questionable if it should be used at all:
If the server tampers with the ref the client may easily be confused
into observing an incorrect or invalid context. It seems better to
remove the opaque context from the descriptor and leave the actual
implementation to the client and its needs.
This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:
<start name="noux">
<exit propagate="yes"/>
...
</start>
If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.
Fixes#1686
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
When a stream was stopped it may still contain valid packets that
will be played automatically when the stream is started again. The
invalidate_all() method may be called after stopping the stream to
prevent this.
Issue #1647.
The alarm library failed to handle the case properly where an already
scheduled alarm gets rescheduled before it triggered. Even though the
attempt to reschedule the alarm (twice insertion into alarm queue) was
detected, this condition resulted in the mere modification of the
alarm's parameters while keeping the alarm's queue position unchanged.
This, in turn, may violate the invariant that all enqueued alarm objects
are strictly ordered by their deadlines. The patch handles the case by
dequeuing the alarm object before reinserting it into the queue at the
right position.
Fixes#1646
In line with the Audio_out session a Audio_in session is used to
record audio frames. Like in the Audio_out session shared memory
in form of the Audio_in::Stream is used to transport the frames
from the server to the client. These frames consist of single
channel (mono) samples. An Audio_in::Packet always contains a full
period of frames.
A Audio_in server captures frames and puts them into the
Audio_in::Stream. To do so the server allocates a Audio_in::Packet
from the packet queue embedded in the Audio_in::Stream. If the queue
is already full, the server will override packets and notify the
client by submitting the 'overrun' signal. The client has to cope
with this situation, e.g., by saving packets more frequently.
A client will also receive a 'progress' signal from the server when
a new Audio_in::Packet was submitted to the packet queue.
Fixes#1644.
To archive lower latency the length of a period was reduced from
2048 (~46ms) to 512 (~11.6ms) samples.
It should be noted that this change probably breaks audio in Qemu on
most systems.
Issue #1644.
Move FS Node implementations from server/ram_fs to include/ram_fs.
Support embedded ram_fs instances in VFS configurations using <ram/>.
Add 'no space' handling to VFS symlink ops.
Fixes#1635
Allow symlinks to be passed to the read and write file system utilities.
Disallow writes to symlinks with offsets in file system servers, this is
to ensure that writing the target of a symlink is an atomic operation.
Fixes#1604
Init used to specify the unique child name as session label when
requesting the binary image of a dynamically linked child. The actual
module name was propagated as "filename" session argument. Since we want
to move towards the sole use of the session label, which can be taken
into account for the session routing, the module name should always be
the last part of a ROM session label.
This patch changes the window manager, the decorator, and the
floating window layouter to propagate the usage of an alpha channel from
the client application to the decorator. This way, the decorator can
paint the decoration elements behind the affected windows, which would
otherwise be skipped.
Removed the Nic::Driver implementation. All nic servers now inherit from
Nic::Session_component. Packet stream signals are dispatched to
the 'handle_packet_stream' function within a session component. Thus, nic
servers now have direct access to the packet stream channels, making handling
more flexible.
Adjusted nic_loobpack, dde_ipxe, wifi, usb, lan9118, Linux nic, and OpenVPN to
the new interface.
Fixes#1602
This patch bases the size of the destination buffer in
'Init::Child_policy_redirect_rom_file' on the maximum label size
instead of the filename size. Otherwise, the use of a long configfile
name (i.e., "trace_subject_reporter.config") in combination with a long
child name ("trace_subject_reporter") would result in a truncated label
string.
By appending a newline to the generated XML data, we prevent the output
from messing with the command prompt when using 'cat' on a shell.
Futhermore, when using line-buffered output, the trailing newline
ensures that the output gets gets properly flushed.
This patch moves the VFS file-system factory to a separate vfs library
that is independent from libc. This enables libc-less Genode programs to
easily use the VFS infrastructure.
Fixes#1561
- send a 'state_change' signal on session creation if the device is
already attached
- evaluate the status code of a finished asynchronous operation
- return the number of actually transferred bytes for control transfers,
too
