This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.
The most prominent changes are:
- Removing the use of base/printf.h
- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
'Connection' classes.
- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
come to an end now.
- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.
- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.
- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.
Issue #1987
* Increase the CMD length to accomodate the limit of the wpa_supplicant
* Fix case where multiple SSIDs with 32 bytes are used
* Use Expanding_reporter for accesspoints report
Fixes#3139.
On a Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p, the system locks up when the UHCI controller
BIOS handoff (disabling bit 4 in the LEGSUP register) for the controller
with PCI BDF 00:1d:2 is attempted before the handoff for the controller
with BDF 00:1a:0.
Fixes#3138
It can happen that a keyboard gets plugged in and 'led_connect()' is
called while the keyboard LED of another keyboard is just being updated
(and the registry is locked).
Fixes#3118
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The Linux emulation library provides preprocessor macros for min() and
max(), which now clash with implementation in duration.h. So, we disable
those macros in the delay implementation.
Some application code is dereferencing the pointer returned by
'packet_content' at packet streams without checking that it is valid.
Throw an exception rather than return a null pointer, except for
zero-length packets, which have somewhat implicit invalid content and
that we believe to be properly handled in all current cases.
The client-side of a packet stream cannot take corrective action if the
server-side is sending packets with invalid content, but the servers
that provide packet streams should catch this exception to detect
misbehaving clients.
Ref #3059
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
Move button-event reporting behind pointer-position update.
This is just a quickfix to restore correct pointer emulation with
dde_linux usb_drv. It does not change usb_hid_drv because the approach
is a questionable workaround of the current input event handling, which
reports events promptly on occurrence of inputs events and ignores
synchronization events completely. The original contrib code reported
the button press before absolute x and y positioning followed by a sync
event.
Issue #3019
The tasklet_schedule implementation was missing the unblock call, which
was no problem in the past because the correspending task would get un-
blocked by other work items. Now that every workqueue has its own task,
there is nobody left to unblock the task and thereby execute the
tasklet. As a tasklet is the only way to transmit any pending frames
after transmission was temporarily suspended - because the device/fw
was not able to process the TX request - this rendered 6xxx devices
unusable whenever this situation occurred.
Fixes#2973.
