Previously the 'partitions' report was implicitly generated after
parsing the partition-table by accessing the referenced reporter
object.
Now the report is explicitly created by calling the 'generate_report'

accommodate for the data needed by MBR as well as GPT reports.

The 'File_content' utility throws an exception whenever a file happens

by throwing 'Truncated_during_read' in the limit-exceeded case as well,
in order to ease the diagnosis of such cases.

'cap()' will return invalid capability within session destructor, therefore Vram

Depending on the number of partitions the current fixed size of 4096

This commit introduces support for the HMB feature and will setup the
buffer during start-up. The host-memory-buffer (HMB) feature is mostly
used on NVMe devices that do not make use of an DRAM cache to store its
translation tables amongst other operational data. Not using HMB can
impair the performance on such devices.
The memory is allocated in 2 MiB chunks of DMA-capable memory and its
total size in bytes is configurable via the 'hmb_size' config attribute.
The driver always checks the minimal and preferred size of the HMB and
issues a warning in case it is not enabled via the configuration.
Moreover, if the configured size is less than the minimal amount
required by the device the HMB is not configured at all and a warning
is issued also. If the configured size is more than the preferred size
it will be capped to that amount.

The 'file_size' type denotes the size of files on disk in bytes. On
32-bit architectures it is larger than the size_t, which refers to
in-memory object sizes.
Whereas the use of 'file_size' is appropriate for ftruncate and seek, it
is not a suitable type for the parameters of read/write operations
because those operations refer to in-memory buffers.
This patch replaces the use of 'file_size' by size_t. However, since it
affects all sites where the read/write interface is uses, it takes the
opportunity to replace the C-style (pointer, size) arguments by
'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr'.

Change the abstraction from buffers to video RAM (VRAM). The notion of
buffers can be provided at the client side (e.g., Mesa) and multiple

can also be mapped to one single buffer as before for clients or drivers

This patch improves the Readonly_file::read method such that the
capacity of the specified buffer is used as upper bound for the read
operation instead of VFS-internal I/O buffer sizes. This relieves the

'read' method that takes the buffer as char *, size_t arguments.

Issue #4706
When a domain receives a new dynamic router IP address and that domain has
active connection states (TCP/UDP/ICMP) from another domain with NAT applied,
the connection states used to stay active while becoming obsolete. They
become obsolete because their identification and their packet processor
use the old routers IP address due to NAT.
One consequence was that connections became dysfunctional when the server
domain received a new dynamic router IP address. Request packets were still
routed from client to server, but when entering the server, their source IP
address was the outdated router address. Consequently, the server responses
used the outdated address as destination and the router dropped the responses
because it did not know this address anymore.
This commit fixes the problem by letting a domain destroy all its connection
states that were initiated from within other domains whenever it detaches from
its current IP configuration.
Strictly speaking, it is not necessary to destroy all connection states, only
those that the domain applies NAT to. However, the Genode AVL tree is not built
for removing a selection of nodes and trying to do it anyways is complicated.
So, for now, we simply destroy all connection states.
Note that the other way around was handled correctly already. When a domain
detaches from its IP config, all interfaces of that domain destroy all the
connection states they created (towards other domains).
Fixes#4696
If the IP config does not change on updates to the router IP config of a domain
change (a common case on DHCP RENEW), prevent detaching from the old config and
attaching to the new one. Because this would not only create unnecessary CPU
overhead but also force all clients at all interfaces that are listening to
this config (via config attribute 'dns_config_from') to restart their
networking (re-do DHCP).
Ref #4696
By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.
Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.
Issue #4697
The new interface is meant to replace the 'Vfs::Io_response_handler'.
In contrast to the 'Io_response_handler', which had to be called
on a 'Vfs_handle', the new interface does not require any specific
'Vfs_handle'. It is merely meant to prompt the VFS user (like the libc)
to re-attempt stalled I/O operations but it does not provide any
immediate hint, about which of the handles have become ready for
reading/writing.

...and tighten constness in adjacent code parts.
The VFS-internal synchronization via mutexes is no longer needed because
the access to the VFS is serialized by the VFS client, i.e., the libc.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.
Issue #4697
By replacing the calls of 'acknowledge_packet' and 'get_packet' with

generate interrupts when the newly submitted requests got completed.

according to the spec undefined when using MSI-X it is removed.

This patch equips the pin-driver framework with support for the
time-multiplexed operation of a pin as output or input. This is needed
when implementing I2C communication via a bit-banging driver.
To operate pin in both directions, a driver obtains both a pin-state and
a pin-control session for the same pin. The pin-state session can be
used to sense the current pin state. The control session allows the
client to set the pin to high or low (using the 'state' method), or to
set it to high-impedance via the 'yield' method. Once switched to
high-impedance, the pin can be used as input.

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.

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 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.

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.
