A client may register a signal handler to be notified whenever the
RTC value was changed, i.e., a mis-configured clock was synchronized,
by calling 'set_sigh()'.
Issue #3450
This patch enhances part_block with support for parsing the AHDI
partition scheme, and the detection of the GEMDOS variant of FAT as used
by Atari TOS. As a side effect of the implementation, the patch improves
the MBR parsing code by avoiding pointers and using const qualifiers.
Fixes#3470
The rtc_drv on x86 can now by used to also set the RTC. If the config
attribute 'allow_setting_rtc' is set to 'yes' the driver will update
the RTC from the content of the 'set-rtc' ROM module. A valid ROM must
contain a top node with the following attributes: 'year', 'month',
'day', 'hour', 'minute' and 'second'.
* Only rudimentary checking of the provided values is done.
* '12H' mode is not supported.
Fixes#3438.
When setting the config attribute 'match_labels="yes"', the clipboard
performs plausibility checks for copy and paste operations against the
nitpicker focus.
Issue #3437
The warning falsely detected cases where shared objects where loaded before
exec_static_constructors() was called as unneeded even in cases were the
binary itself contained static globals.
The commit also removes one redundant call to exec_static_constructors()
from the block tester.
If a path element cannot be watched because it does not exist yet, the next
available parent directory is watched to detect the creation of the missing
path element. If a missing path element got created just between the failed
watch request for the element and the successful watch request for its parent
directory, the creation of the path element could remain unnoticed.
With this commit, 'fs_rom' tries to watch a path element again if the watch
request for its parent directory was successful.
Fixes#3398
On some platforms (foc+pbxa9, hw+imx53_qsb_tz, hw+rpi) the default buffer size
is to much for the RAM available on the board. Thus, decrease the buffer size
and therefore the number of polls for these platforms only.
Fixes#3354
Moreover, express current requirement to hw API, which was missing until now.
Originally, in the board-specific build directory of imx53_qsb the
"KERNEL" variable was preset with "hw". Therefore, it was not perceived
that this dependency is required.

When enabling the 'keep_going' config attribute, the component will
carry on in case a child exited with an error. In addition, if the
'restart' attribute is set it will start executing the children from
the beginning.
Instead of retieving the information about the underlying platform from
the configuration, check the running kernel from the platform_info. This
commit removes the undocumented "acpi" config attribute.

When there are too many PCI devices, the Expanding_reporter regenerates
the report. However, this doesn't reset the BDF counter used to iterate
over the devices. This results in starting the new report after the PCI
device that triggered the report buffer overflow. This commit fixes the
issue by putting the BDF counter initialization inside the lambda
function used to generate the report.
Fixes#3317
To enable the use of uncached DMA buffers as RX and TX communication
buffers in between driver (service) and client, introduce a cache
attribute in the constructor of Nic::Session_component
Ref #3291
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
- Added 'io_buffer' attribute, default is 4M
- Added 'batch' attribute, specifying the number of jobs used
in parallel, default is 1 (sequential)
- Removed 'synchronous' attribute (use batch of 1 instead)
- Added 'copy' attribute (default "yes")
- Print number of signals ("triggered")
Issue #3283
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
Track the dataspaces used by attach and add handling of flushing VM space
when dataspace gets destroyed (not triggered via the vm_session interface).
Issue #3111
This patch removes the blocking Block::Session::sync RPC function and
adds the asynchronous operations SYNC and TRIM to the block session's
packet-stream interface.
Even though the patch adjusts all block components to the interface
change, the components keep the former blocking handling of sync
internally for now because of the design of the 'Block::Driver'
interface. This old interface is not worth changing. We should instead
migrate the block servers step by step to the new
'Block::Request_stream' API.
Fixes#3274
This patch splits the 'Request' definition into smaller types that are
suitable for the client-side API too.
The new 'Operation' type comprises the block operation's type (opcode)
and the operation's arguments (block number, block count).
The former 'Request::operation_defined' is now 'Operation::valid'.
The 'Request' aggregates an 'Operation', which changes its object
layout.
Note that this commit relaxes the bit-precise definition of 'Request' to
facilitate the use of 'unsigned long' where appropriate, in particular
for the request tag (which should correspond to an 'Id_space::Id'). The
originally bit-precise definition was pursued to allow the sharing of
the 'Request' type between SPARK and C++ code. However, it turns out
that defining a native type in each language and a (set of) converting
constructors is a more natural approach.
Issue #3283
When receiving a terminal signal, the uart device model has to
take all characters out of the stream. Otherwise, characters
might never arrive at the VM. This was not recognized before,
because it was used with a quite slow UART only, which obviously
never achieved to send more characters at once.

A small terminal-client tool, which expects a specific line(-start),
and then sends a specified line to the other side. Optionally,
it prints all received lines to its LOG service.
Ref #3278
This patch renames 'wakeup_client' to 'wakeup_client_if_needed' to
clarify that the method triggers signals only when needed, not on every
call.
The name 'wakeup_client' is prone to misguide users to call the function
conditionally as an optimization, thereby complicating the code, but to
no effect.
Fixes#3279
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
Disconnecting a client and connecting an other to the sd_card_drv
on imx6 results in a "Completion host signal timed out" error in
the newly connected client.
Fixes#3272
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.
Fix#3257
The new configuration attributes <tcp-forward to_port="123" /> and
<udp-forward to_port="123" /> enable manipulating the destination port of
port-forwarded packets.
Fixes#3237
The "Vfs::Vfs_handle" type should not contain any public members that
can be initialized by the VFS internally and by the application, so
remove inheritance from the "Genode::list::Element" class. The VFS
plugins must instead use lists of "Vfs::Vfs_handle" sub-classes, the
lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.
Ref #3036
This patch reworks the 'Session_component::destroy' to cope become
robust against a client-provided invalid view handle. The code did not
consider that 'Handle_registry::has_handle' may throw.
Thanks to Alexander Boettcher for reporting and the initial fix.
Fixes#3232
Without this patch, a version change of an already exited child would not
trigger the restart of the child because the version is evaluated as
late as the child configuration, but only if the child has not exited
yet.
This patch evaluates the version at the earlier stage where the identity
of the child (its name) is checked against the new configuration.
Fixes#3226
The "schedule_post_signal_hook" method of the Genode::Entrypoint class
is problematic because the signal hook can be scheduled and replaced
multiple times during the signal dispatch cycle. Add an alternative to
this method with "register_io_progress_handler" and the "Post_signal_
hook" class with "Io_progress_handler". The difference being an
"Io_progress_handler" may be registered once during the lifetime of an
entrypoint to prevent arbitrary libraries from replacing a pending hook.
The "register_io_progress_handler" remains as a deprecated API, and is
now invoked for every I/O signal received and only for I/O signals
rather than for any signal.

The zynq nic_drv also depends on hw, we therefore adapted the folder
structure for clarity. Also renamed the binary to 'zynq_nic_drv' to
prevent conflicts and to allow removing the cadence_gem spec.
Issue #3179
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.
