The chroot server was conceived to automatically place File_system
sessions into segregated root directories by converting session labels
to paths. If multiple children needed to be grouped under the same path,
a 'merge' policy would truncate the session label before path conversion.
Now that init can rewrite session labels and thus reproduce truncation,
the chroot merge feature is redundant and can be removed.

Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.

Dissolve and destroy the invalid domain first before deinitializing all
domains for the next round. This way, the deinitialization is not done twice
for the invalid domain.
Issue #2840
Due to a bug in the deinitialization of the DHCP server of a domain (the
reference to the destroyed object was not cleared), the NIC router could
end up in a page fault caused by a double-free at the heap. This also fixes
the previously missing dissolving of the "DNS-server-from" relation to a
remote domain.
Issue #2840
Currently has three clients that continuously create new UDP/TCP/ICMP
connections through the NIC router with NAT to the outer world and they
get never closed. A fourth client does normal ping through the same
domain to the outer world that must succeed even after the RAM quota of
the other session at the router is exhausted. The test is restricted to
Qemu to not being at risk to flood real networks.
Issue #2857
This patch weakens the aggressive restart of a child with incomplete
environment sessions. The restart check is performed each time
the init configuration changes. In sculpt, this is not a rare special
case anymore but a frequent case when using the depot_rom as provider
for environment ROM sessions. In particular when starting a chain of
inter-depending children, the sculpt-manager quickly generates a
sequence of configurations with successively added start nodes.
The addition of the 'Cap_consumer' feature to app/dummy increased the
static RAM demand of the component to a point where 1 MiB no longer
suffices on sel4 (on this kernel, the base library uses a larger amount
of statically allocated data compared to the others). The tweaks enable
init.run and init_loop.run to work on sel4 on x86-64.
Selecting an alternate interface setting, even if it is the same as the
current one, apparently makes the INQUIRY command fail with USB devices
like 'SanDisk Ultra Fit' (0781:5583) and 'Corsair Flash Voyager'
(1b1c:1a03) when the USB block driver is restarted.
Fixes#2860
* Catch Quota_guard exceptions wherever we do 'new (_alloc)' in Interface
and in case drop the packet that caused the exception
* Modify Interface::handle_config_2 to not use the guarded allocator of the
NIC session quota as we cannot handle a RAM exhaustion well at this point
in time. Instead use a Constructible member in Interface so that a needed
RAM adds up to the calculation in the create_session implementation where
an exhaustion is handled via a service denial.
Issue #2857
The interface destructor called pure virtual methods at least when
cancelling ARP- waiting states. The implementations were made by the
deriving classes Session_component respectively Uplink. This led to an
abort of the NIC router as the destruction of the derived class was
already done. A similar problem already occured in the past during the
construction of Interface and was back then solved by introducing a
separate init() method. This commit, however, solved the problem by
making Interface a member of the other classes. Therefore, the init()
method could be removed again. Furthermore, the interface polica could be
moved from Session_component_base to Session_component. The commit also
had to generalize the way the link state of an interface is determined.
Fixes#2856
While a child is abandoned, we must limit the start of anothers with
the same name. Otherwise - of the child has startup problems - a number
of abandoned children with the same name may queue up. This becomes a
problem whenever the child destruction depends on an asynchronous
service that provides an env session for the children. If the service is
unable to keep up with the session requests (both create and close),
the queue of abandoned children becomes unbounded. Limiting the child
creation rate to one abandoned child per name mitigates this problem.
This patch reduces the latency of state reports when children are
removed or added, thereby, accellerating the feedback loop between a
management component and init during the staged startup or removal of
inter-dependent components.
This test monitors the RAM quota of a dynamic init and a server hosted
within the dynamic init in the presence of a repeatedly created and
destructed client.
Previously we were doing the initialization once over all domains,
remembered which of them became invalid and destroyed those afterwards.
This isn't sufficient. As soon as one domain becomes invalid we have to
dissolve/destroy this one, deinitialize all other domains again (as they
could contain references to the invalid domain) and retry to initialize
them from the beginning. We proceed with this until we have one run
without a domain becoming invalid. Then we can be sure that the last
initialization run did not create references to any invalid domain.
Issue #2840
The generic helper Avl_string_tree of the NIC router is currently only
used for finding domains via their names, but in the future it can be
used for finding uplinks by their labels also. Additionally, it enables
us to throw an exception when inserting two elements with the same
identifier.

The condition was too rigid. In the case where no motion occurred in
between the press and release events of the magic button, the delayed
press event would not be delivered. This - in turn - confused other

Fixes#2835
In contrast to most information of init's state reports, which can be
monitored at a relatively low rate (like 2 seconds in Sculpt's runtime),
resource requests call for an immediate response by the consumer of the
report. Otherwise the requesting child stays unnecessarily blocked until
the next rate-limited state report is due. This patch adds a fast lane
for such low-latency state updates to init.
Do not send nor buffer packets at interfaces with link state "down". This
prevents that packets that were routed to one network (allowed to see them),
due to a sudden link down/up, are leaked to another network that is not
allowed to see them.
When updating an interface in the NIC router to a new configuration and
the domain name of the interface has not changed but the domain
disappeared, the NIC router did not detach from the old domain correctly
which led to broken remnants of interface state objects (like connection
states).
Adapt the nic_router_uplinks run script to work with the fix.
fs_report truncated the report file on construction of the report
session to mimic an "empty report". This prevented existing use cases
where the initial state was already written to the file system by other
means.
I doubt that use cases exist where the inital empty-report mimic is
needed and (if I'm wrong) there is still the race of the consumer
reading the file just before the report session is constructed.
Reporters that want to enforce an empty initial report should send it
explicitly.
Clients may wish to act on missing files. In any case the fs_rom
needs to reopen a watch handle when a file is deleted, and this
sort of change to the internal state machine is propelled by
client RPC requests.
Fix#2839
The new 'displays' report contains information about the used
framebuffer backend. It is issued when nitpicker has successfully passed
all initialization, in particular the connection to the framebuffer
driver. Hence, it can be taken as an indicator of whether the framebuffer
is available or not (e.g., caused by a faulty driver).
When re-configuring the NIC router, determine for each domain if at least one
interface stays with the domain. If a domain fullfills this and has a
dynamic IP config (received via a DHCP client), keep the IP config.
To achieve this, the following changes have been made to the existing NIC
router code:
* Split-up Interface::handle_config into three steps:
1) Determine for each interface if its domain can keep its IP config or
or if it has to mark it invalid. This must be done before (re-)attaching
any interface because during "attach" several decisions are made based on
the validity of the IP config of corresponding the domain.
(E.g. whether to participate in sending DHCP DISCOVERs {IP config
invalid} or whether to participate in sending pending ARP REQUESTs
{IP config valid} ).
2) Detach, attach, or re-attach each interface according to the
configuration. This must be done before re-considering the temporary
state objects of each interface because the latter might have effects
on the interfaces of remote domains which must then be in place already.
3) Re-consider temporary state objects of each interface. (E.g. transport
layer connection states)
* Re-work IP-config setter in a way that it works as follows:
1) If the old IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain detach from the old
IP config.
2) Overwrite with new IP config
3) If the new IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain attach to the new
IP config.
Issue #2815
The new attribute config.domain.label has effect only at the uplink
domain-tag. It determines which label the NIC router shall use when
requesting the NIC session for the uplink domain. If value of this
attribute changes at the uplink domain-tag, the NIC router closes and
re-requests the NIC session of the uplink with the new label.

Set DHCP-DISCOVER retry timeout and DHCP-REQUEST retry timeout from 10

The Ethernet destination MAC address of a DHCP reply is not the same as the
DHCP client MAC address. The DHCP server of the NIC router did not take care
of this by now.
Issue #2837
When an environment session is provided by a async service such as a
sibling component, the session metadata must be preserved until end of
the lifetime of the session at the server has been acknowledged by the
server. Since the session meta data of env sessions are always part of
the 'Child' object, the destruction of this object must be deferred
until this point.
Merge the 'Packet_handle' into the 'Rom_root' and use an Id_space to
match File_system handles to session objects rather than a list. This
avoids the need to override 'Root_component::_destroy_session'.
Fix#2833
When exhausted of RAM quota while starting children, init used to throw
an uncaught 'Out_of_ram' exception as this condition was considered
fatal. However, this behavior is undesired when init is used in a highly
dynamic yet long-running fashion like sculpt's runtime subsystem. This
change keeps init running despite the error condition, giving the user
the chance to relieve the resource pressure.
The 'View_stack::draw_rec' method limited the redraw to parts of the
view that were explicitly marked as dirty. This does not produce the
desired result when stacking multiple transparent views. Here, the
background views must be drawn regardless of whether they are marked as
dirty or not.
The file may also be changed by other components, so a open-close cycle
for write() is more robust. For example, Vim removes the original file
and recreates with the new content.
The '_active_mode' must not be changed at any time except when the
client asks for the 'Framebuffer::mode'. Otherwise, the dimensions of
dataspace used by the client is not always consistent with the mode
information as gathered by the client.
Normally, the NIC sessions are independent from the domain tags.
However, by now the uplink session, in contrast to the sessions of the
other domains, is still not a server but a client. This means that only
the NIC router itself can decide when to open and close uplink sessions
and how many. Thus, with this commit, we break with the pattern that
session lifetime is independent from domains by letting the NIC router
create the uplink session when the uplink domain appears and close the
session when the domain disappears.
Fixes#2795
Since the router MAC is allocated like the donwlink MACs it can't happen
anymore that these MACs clash, for instance due to nested routers. Thus,
the range of the MAC allocators of nested routers must not be exclusive
anymore which deprecates the 'mac_first' configuration attribute.
Issue #2795
Allocate a virtual MAC address at runtime that is used as router
Ethernet-identity for all downlink domains. This makes the downlink
domains independent from the uplink session.
Issue #2795
The old MAC allocator had several drawbacks:
* the address base was a public static that could and must have been written
directly from outside the class
* the in-use-flag array was based on unsigned values consuming 4 bytes each
for only one bit of information
* it was a public header that we actually don't want to expose to all
components but only to the few networking components
* it used the not-so-safe bit notation for integer members of GCC
The new version fixes all these drawbacks.

Instead of handing over the maximum available size to the packet data
accessors, hand over a size guard that keeps track of the packets
boundaries.
This commit also moves the size-guard utilitiy header of Ping and NIC
Router to the include/net directory making it a part of the net library.
It applies the new approach to all net-lib users in the basic repositories.
Ping looses its configurability regarding the ICMP data size as this would
require an additional method in the size guard which would be used only by
Ping.
The size guard was also re-worked to fit the fact that a packet can
bring a tail as well as a header (Ethernet).

The Ethernet payload may be followed by padding of variable length and
the FCS (Frame Check Sequence). Thus, we should consider the value
"Ethernet-frame size minus Ethernet-header size" to be only the maximum
size of the encapsulated IP packet. But until now, we considered it to
be also the actual size of the encapsulated IP packet. This commit fixes
the problem for all affected components of the Genode base-repository.

This reduces the redundant implementations of checksum calculation to

Replace packet method 'T *data' by the new methods 'T &reinterpret_data'

This patch largely reverts the feature of selecting parts of input nodes
from within the output node (as originally introduced by commit
7263cae5a18b4f1f2293d031f9bafcf05ba51146). The selection of content
should be consistently performed by input nodes instead. The principle
ability of copying input nodes verbatim into the output stays available.

The 'stat' method is called for all paths, not just the specific file
system node of the ROM module. The ROM update is needed only in the
latter case.
Otherwise, when always updating the ROM on stat, stat calls on the VFS
become very expensive in the presence of a mounted ROM module if the ROM
is obtained from fs_rom (which re-watches the file and all its
individual path elements whenever the 'update' RPC function is called).
Reduce the size and forward compatibility of VFS file-system
constructors by passing an object holding accessors for 'Genode::Env',
'Genode::Allocator', response handlers, and the root file-system.

Issue #2738
Nitpicker's 'Session:focus' call used to trigger a one-off focus change
at call time. This focus change did not pass the same code paths as a
focus change triggered by a "focus" ROM update, which led to
inconsistencies.
This patch changes the implementation of 'Session::focus' such that the
relationship of the caller and the focused session is preserved after
call time. Whenever the calling session is focused in the future, the
specified session will receive the focus instead. So 'Session::focus'
represents no longer a single operation but propagates the information
about the inter-session relationship. This information is taken into
account whenever the focus is evaluated regardless of how the change is
triggered.
This makes the focus handling in scenarios like the window manager more
robust.
Issue #2746
Relative motion events with a motion vector of (0,0) should not exists.
They cause jittery movements of nitpicker's pointer position. This
patch filters out such events.
The 'ping' component continuously sends ICMP Echo requests to a given IP host
and waits for the corresponding ICMP Echo replies. For each successfull ICMP
Echo handshake it prints a short statistic. By now, it can be used only with a
static IP configuration. The size of the ICMP data field can be configured. It
gets filled with the letters of the alphabet ('a' to 'z') repeatedly.
Issue #2732
Originally, the timeout framework caused deadlocks when acquiring the same
lock from different timeout handlers. This use case is now tested in the
timeout test.
Fixes#2704
To handle all pending timeouts in the context of scheduling a timeout
was only necessary because the Timeout framework once made use of the
Alarm framework. The method Alarm_scheduler::schedule_absolute took an
absolute deadline as argument and we couldn't change this beause the
Alarm framework was also used without the Timeout framework. We had to
calculate this absolute deadline with the now time of the Timeout
framework but the Alarm framework has its own now time that is always a
bit behind the one of the Timeout framework. This lead to bad decisisons
when finding the right position for the new timeout. Now, we can call
schedule_absolute with a relative duration and thereby fix the problem.
When we schedule an absolute timeout without considering the small time
difference, the end-time for the timeout that is calculated using the
local time value is also smaller than the expected end-time. This can
also lead to directly triggering timeouts that should have triggered
with a certain delay.
As it is not trivial to update the local time value while scheduling a
timeout _without_ calling other timeout handlers, we simply raise the
duration of the new timeout by the age of the local time value.
Issue #2704
This fixes the problem that large timeouts, when rescheduled, are interpreted
to be from the last now_period instead of, what would be right, the next
now_period. This occured if there were multiple pending alarms at the head of
the queue and the reschedule of the first one was done with the other outdated
deadlines still in place.
Issue #2704
Instead of taking the absolute deadline of a timeout as argument from
outside (where it is calculated with a freshly requested now time), we
now take a relative duration as argument and calculate the deadline with
the scheduler-internal now time (which can be a little bit outdated).
This enables us to schedule timeouts without updating the internal now time
and thereby handle all pending timeouts.
Issue #2704
Integrate the code of the Alarm framework directly into the Timeout

corresponding classes of the Timeout framework and get prefixed with

want to be able to configure them differently.

This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data

changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.

This patch enables the use of the VFS from VFS plugins by passing a

If the remote DNS server address value of a DHCP server changes, the affected
interfaces do a link down/up to inform all DHCP clients that they should
re-request their DHCP info.
Issue #2730
The dns_server_from attribute of the dhcp-server tag has effect only if
the dns_server attribute of the same tag is not set. If this is the
case, the dns_server_from attribute states the domain from whose IP
config to take the DNS server address. This is useful, for instance, if
the stated domain receives the address of a local DNS server via DHCP.
Whenever the IP config of the stated domain becomes invalid, the DHCP
server switches to a mode where it drops all requests unanswered until
the IP config becomes valid again.
Issue #2730
Until now, the DHCP server of a domain was re-constructed each time the
IP config changed. This is not necessary as a domain that acts as DHCP
server must have a static IP config as it would be senseless to act as
DHCP server and client at the same time. Now, a configured DHCP server
is constructed only when the Domain gets constructed and stays alive
until the domain gets destructed. Furthermore, we now throw Domain::Invalid
if there is no static IP config plus a DHCP server configured. However, by
now, this exception is not caught as it is not trivial to destruct the
domain at this point.
Issue #2730
The Interface constructor previously tried to attach to a domain. This
might include sending a DHCP request to get the domain a valid IP config.

the attach attempt was moved to a new Interface::init method.

The router reacts as follows to a configuration change:
1) Construct new internal configuration representation (the old one stays
in place to be able to do comparisons in the following steps)
2) Iterate through all user-dependent objects (interfaces, link states, ARP
information, DHCP information) and re-check which remain valid with the
new configuration and which must be dismissed.
3) Adapt the objects that remain valid to the new configuration (re-write
references) and remove or detach the dismissed objects.
4) Do a link state DOWN at each interface and a link state UP at each
interface that remains attached to a domain.
5) Replace the old internal configuration representation with the new one
This way, the router keeps as much user dependent states as possible
while going through a configuration change. Thus, overwriting the old
configuration with an exact copy of itself is (almost) transparent to
clients of the router. Almost, because there are things the router must
do on every configuration handling, like re-scheduling the expiration
timeouts of links.

The for_each method of the List wrapper remembers the next list item

Ref #2670
Clients can connect at any time to the NIC router. The interfaces (sessions)
get attached to the appropriate domain as soon as it appears. This implies
that interfaces can also be detached from a domain without beeing destructed
when the domain disappears. All user dependent states of an interface such as
the link states, DHCP allocations and ARP information get lost when the
interface gets detached.

Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
Fixes#2547
This patch adds a safety check to nit_fb to ensures that nit_fb never
runs out of RAM. Should the available RAM not suffice for resizing the
virtual framebuffer to a new mode, it keeps the current mode.
This patch removes the notion of partial writes from the file-system
servers. Since write operations are asynchronously submitted, they are
expected to succeed completely, except for I/O errors. I/O errors are
propagated with the write acknowledgement but those are usually handled
out of band at the client side. Partial writes must never occur because
they would go undetected by clients, which usually don't wait for the
completion of each single write operation.
Until now, most file-system servers returned the number of written bytes
in the acknowledgement packet. If a server managed to write a part of
the request only, it issued the acknowledgement immediately where it
should have cared about writing the remaining part first.
The patch detects such misbehaving server-side code. If partial writes
unexpectedly occur, it prints a message and leaves the corresponding
request unacknowdleged.
Issue #2672
File_system clients may now watch files and directories for changes by
opening a 'Watch_handle' rather than submitting a 'CONTENT_CHANGED'
packet to the server. When a change happens at a node with an open
Watch_handle a CONTENT_CHANGED packet will be sent from the server to
the client. This serializes registration with other handle operations
and separates I/O handle state from notification handle state.
Test at run/fs_rom_update.

This change enables the use of negative values for the 'initial_width'
and 'initial_height' attributes to specify values that are relative to
the screen size. This is consistent with the meaning of the 'width' and
'height' attributes.
The new 'Terminal_session::size_changed_sigh' RPC function registers a
signal handler that is triggered each time when the terminal size
changes. It enables the client to adjust itself to the new size by
subsequently calling the 'size' RPC function. Of all terminal servers,
only the graphical terminal triggers this signal.
AVL trees can't be copied with the default copy constructor as the
parent pointer of the first item of both of the resulting trees would
point to the original tree. Copying an AVL node, however, generally
violates the integrity of the corresponding tree. The copy constructor
of Avl_tree is used in some places but in those places it can be
replaced easily. So, this commit deletes the copy constructor of
Avl_node_base which makes Avl_node and Avl_tree non-copyable.
Issue #2654
The 'trace_logger' component can be used to easily gather, process and export
different types of tracing data. Which subjects to select is configurable via
session label policies and thread names. Which data to collect from the
selected subjects can be configured for each subject individually, for groups
of subjects, or for all subjects. The gathered data can be exported as log
output.
This is an example configuration of the 'trace_logger' component which shows
the default value for each attribute except the policy.thread and
policy.label:
! <config verbose="no"
! session_ram="10M"
! session_arg_buffer="4K"
! session_parent_levels="0"
! period_sec="5"
! activity="no"
! affinity="no"
! default_policy="null"
! default_buffer="4K">
!
! <policy label="init -> timer" />
! <policy label_suffix=" -> ram_fs" />
! <policy label_prefix="init -> encryption -> "
! thread="worker"
! buffer="4K"
! policy="null" />
! </config>

Building this policy was disabled by a REQUIRES = riscv_toolchain_bugfix
to prevent compiler crashes on nightly test builds. Since the latest
RISCV toolchain update, test builds for RISCV crash at much more places
which makes this single work-around senseless.
Issue #2654
The 'Buffered_xml' utility is used by three components and a fourth is
on the way. To avoid another duplication of the code, this patch makes
it publicly available at 'os/buffered_xml.h'.
This patch replaces the 'Heap' by a 'Sliced_heap' to avoid the
allocation of a 16 KiB memory block when 'dummy' acts as a server. On
seL4, such an allocation would exceed the 1M quota as assigned by the
init.run script.
The 'initial_width' and 'initial_height' attributes were added to
accomodate the use-case to set the initial dimensions whenever 'nit_fb'
is used in a dynamic fashion, e.g, in combination with a window manager.
These attributes may not be mixed with the 'width' and 'height'
attributes, which are mostly used when a static size configuration is
desired.
When a NIC session is destructed at the router, we have to remove all ARP
cache entries that match the MAC address of that session. Otherwise the
outdated entries might be re-applied later, leading to wrong destination
MAC addresses in routed packets.
Fixes#2637
This fix handles the case where the focused domain loses its focus
because the currently focused client vanishes. In this case, the focus
will be undefined and the non-focused views of the domain become
tinted again. The refresh should take effect immediately as soon as the
client vanishes.
With this patch, init responds to the exit of a child by closing all
sessions of the child. E.g., if a child is a GUI application, its
nitpicker session is closed at the time of exit, not at the time when
the start node disappears from init's configuration.
Since this change requires a modification of the 'Genode::Child' class,
it takes the chance to make the child-destruction less brutal. The
new version ensures that all threads of the destructed subsystem are
destructed before other sessions, in particular PD sessions. This
eliminates spurious page-fault warnings during the child destruction.
On Fiasco.OC, closing the CPU session of a thread while being called by
the thread causes a deadlock. Hence, we skip the eager destruction of
CPU sessions on this kernel.

Issue #2638
Require x86_64 because memory/adress space limitations on x86_32
restrict the use-cases on such a platform anyway. Doing that,
we can also assume that memory adresses are always 64bit long and
do not have to handle 32bit adresses.
According to the creator of the net-stat lib, this lib was a mere debugging
tool that is not used anymore nor worth the work of updating the it to
modern Genode coding paradigms. Also, there exist no tests for the lib.
Instead of having a method validate_size in each packet class, check
sizes in the data accessor of the surrounding packet class. This packet
accessor is the one that casts the data pointer to the desired data type
so it is sensible that it also checks whether the desired type would
exceed the available RAM before doing the cast. This also fits nicely
the fact that for the top-level packet-class of a packet, the size must
not be checked (which was previously done).
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
The warning "no interface connected to domain" was introduced when only one NIC
session at a time could be connected to a domain. It should help to track
packet drops that were caused by startup timing issues between servers and
clients. However, a user should watch the "NIC sessions" value of a domain
(verbose_domain_state) instead when debugging packet loss. With support for
multiple sessions per domain, even a non-empty domain may still miss the
session that connects the desired server.
Fix#2629
Previously, all packets that the router wanted to sent were first prepared to
their final state and then copied at once into the packet stream RAM. This is
fine for packets that the router only passes through with modifying merely
a few values. But for packets that the router writes from scratch on its own,
it is better to compose the packet directly in the packet stream RAM.
Fix#2626
Normally, Interface::send always takes the base and size of the RAM region
where a packet was composed and copies this finished packet at once into the
packet stream RAM. But we want to be able to also compose packets directly in
the packet stream RAM, so that no memcpy is needed. Thus, Interface::send now
takes a functor that describes how to compose the packet, then allocates the
packet stream RAM and applies the functor to this RAM. there is also a version
of Interface::send that provides the old behavior but with the new back end.
This way, we stay backwards-compatible.
Issue #2626
When composing an ARP packet for sending, it's pointless to use the Arp_packet
constructor as the constructor only checks whether the packet is malformed.

The NIC router can now be configured to periodically send reports.
Configuration example (shows default values):
<config>
<report interval_sec="5" bytes="yes" config="yes">

If the 'report' tag is not available, no reports are send.
The attributes of the 'report' tag:
'bytes' : Boolean : Whether to report sent bytes and received bytes per
domain
'config' : Boolean : Whether to report ipv4 interface and gateway per
domain
'interval_sec' : 1..3600 : Interval of sending reports in seconds

In the context of link state objects we often used the term "close" were we
actually meant "dissolve". The term "close" originated from the TCP connection
state and is still used in TCP links in the correct manner.
Issue #2609
Act as hub for the interfaces at a domain. This also changes the roles of the
Domain and Interface classes. By now the Interface held the data structures for
the ARP cache, foreign ARP waiters, and the searchtrees for layer 3 links. All
these structures have moved to the Domain while the memory allocations and
lifetime management for the contents of these structures still come from from
the according Interface object. The mentioned data structures were also adapted
to fit the fact that they now may maintain objects of different interfaces.

If a client decides to spontaneously send a DHCP DISCOVER again, even though
he has received a still valid IP config from the router, we don't want to
discard the DISCOVER like it was done before but discard the IP config
assignment and offer a new one.
Issue #2534
When this flag is set in the config tag, the NIC router will print a
short information to the log for each general state change of a domain.
This includes currently the IP-configuration state and the number of
connected NIC sessions. This a useful addition as the normal verbose
flag's purpose is a very deep insight into almost every activity in the
router, which is cool for debugging sophisticated problems but normally
floods the log and therefore discards this option for, e.g., desktop
systems. In such systems, the new verbosity is pretty discreet but
already gives a good hint on why packets may get dropped by the router
although the routing rules are correct.
Issue #2534
The run tool now by default checks configurations with target-specific
XML schemata. Each component may define a config schema file in its
target.mk via the CONFIG_XSD variable. When the run tool has checked an
configuration of an init instance, it additionally goes through the
start nodes of the config. For each start node it checks whether there
is an XSD file that matches. If so, the run tool also checks the config
of the start node (if existant). This is done recursively. I.e., also
the child configs of a sub-init of a sub-init of the top-level init
receive a config check.
Issue #2600
Replace former rtt_sec attribute of the <config> tag by more specific
(and still optional) attributes for timeouts used in the NIC router
(these are also the default values):
<config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">
Details about the new attributes can be found in the README of the router.
Issue #2590
Multi-wraps
-----------
Previously, on every new timeout, we programmed registers LR=timeout and
CMP=0. The counter than counted from LR down to 0, triggered the IRQ,
jumped back to LR, and counted down again. If one installed small
timeouts (< 1000 us), it was likely that the counter wrapped multiple
times before we were able to read it out. Initially, this was not a big
issue as the additional wraps were simply ignored and the amount of time
lost through this was not big. But when we want to do correct rate
limitation, multiple wraps cause an overflow in the additional
calculations, and this has a big effect on the resulting time value.
Thus, we now program the counter to start from ~0 and count down to 0.
We set CMP=~0-timeout so that the timer still triggers the IRQ at the right
time. The counter continues counting down after the IRQ has triggered until
we install a new timeout. We do not consider anymore that the counter wraps.
The maximum timeout is set to half the maximum counter value, so, we should
be able to install a new timeout before the counter wraps.
Rate limit for time updates
---------------------------
In the time span between two interrupts we have to remember how many ticks
we have already added to the time value. This is because at each call of
curr_time we can only see how many ticks have passed since the last call of
schedule_timeout and not since the last call of curr_time. But we want to
limit the rate of time updates in curr_time. With the member for ticks that
were already added since the last call to schedule_timeout we can then
calculate how many are yet to be added.
This patch supplements the existing 'hover' report with the information
whether or not the user has recently moved the pointer. This works
analogously to how the 'focus' report features the information about
recent button/keyboard activity.
Together, the 'hover' and 'focus' reports may be combined to observe
prolonged user inactivity, e.g. to activate a lock screen.
This patch enables nitpicker to use an external focus policy instead of
the traditional builtin click-to-focus policy. The external focus policy
is obtained from a 'focus' ROM. The focus ROM is expected to have a
'label' attribute with the value set to the label of the to-be focused
client.
This patch revises the implementation of nitpicker in the following
respects:
- Split the implementation into smaller files,
- Consistently use the 'Nitpicker' namespace,
- Avoid the use of format strings,
- Retire old (and hackish) debug mode,
- Removal of unused timer connection,
- Merging 'Session' into 'Session_component',
- Merging 'Mode' into 'User_state',
- Adding the notions of 'View_owner' and 'Focus' as interfaces,
- Untangle 'User_state' and 'View_stack'
This patch supplements init's service-forwarding mechanism to propagate
the insufficient RAM/cap quota conditions from the server to the client.
Without it, the client's session request stays pending infinitely.
This is a follow-up patch to "init: periodic state updates if sensible".
In situations where the report rate is deliberately limited via the
'delay_ms' attribute while also reporting child-resource stats, we don't
want generate reports at a fixed rate of one second. This patch limits
the rate according to the 'delay_ms' value.
The input filter used to temporarily close all input sessions upon its
reconfiguration. In most cases, the same set of sessions is
re-established immediately afterwards. However, at the server (driver)
side, the closing of the session implicitly disables the input-event
queue. Hence events generated by the hardware while the session is
closed are dropped. This becomes a noticeable problem when using the
recently added <rom> modifier feature for handling capslock. The change
of the ROM always triggers the re-configuration of the input filter.
When pressing capslock and other keys at a high rate, press/release
events may get lost.
This patch solves this problem by maintaining all input sessions that
are defined in both the old and new configuration. It thereby removes
the short duration where the input event queues are temporarily disabled
at the drivers.
This makes '/' and the actual root of VFS distinguishable. A VFS root
may contain one ore more '/' entries for each file system. 'opendir' for
the VFS root opens all file systems via 'open_composite_dir', while
'opendir' for '/' only returns a VFS handle.
Fixes#2569
Check at the VFS server that the capability cost of sessions do not
exceed the session quota donation. Raise the default initial capability
donation for File_system connections.
Fix#2553
Previously the destructors of classes derived from Source were not
called when destructing a Source because Source missed the declaration
of a virtual destructor. This caused at least problems when
reconstructing a Chargen_source with its Chargen_repeater that includes
a One_shot_timeout. In this case, the members of the Alarm behind the
timeout were not reset and the next time beeing used the Alarm appeared
to be still active which wasn't true.
Fixes#2570
A new configuration may implicitly change the domain color of the
currently focused session. We need to refresh the report to trigger an
update of the status bar.
This commit replaces the old xray_trigger component by a new component
called global_keys_handler. For details, please refer to the issue text
and the accompanied README file.
