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
caller from implementing a read loop in most cases.
As a step away from C-ish use of the API, the patch deprecates the old
'read' method that takes the buffer as char *, size_t arguments.

Up to now it was only checked if an issued admin command was processed
in a timely fashion. Otherwise it has been treated as failed.
However, the completion-queue entry was not examined and the caller was
not able to access the entry itself. Depending on the command, checking
the completion-queue entry might be necessary, e.g. GET/SET_FEATURE.

* Update links from forward rules only with forward rules and links from
transport-routing rules only with transport-routing rules. Besides raising
the performance of the code, this also fixes a former bug that allowed
forward-rule links to falsely stay active because of a transport-routing
rule that matched the client destination ip and port.
* Don't use good-case exceptions for updating TCP/UDP links on re-configuration
of the router.
* Make conditions when to dismiss a forward rule easier to read.
* Introduces != operator to the public Port class in the net library.
* Fix unnecessary log message that a link was dismissed when only a potentially
matching forward rule turned out to be not matching.
* Apply Genode coding style to if statements with a single body statement.
Fix#4728
This fixes a bug that was introduced by this earlier commit:
"nic_router: find forward rules w/o exceptions"
The NIC router used to falsely dissolve TCP/UDP connection states when
reconfiguring although the connection states were still legal according to the
new config. The reason was that the above mention commit nested lambdas but
missed to return from the last nesting level when having found a configuration
that legitimates the connection state.

The old 'Io_response_handler::io_progress_response' interface has been
replaced by the 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user' (issue #4697). The
remaining 'read_ready_response' method is now hosted in the
appropriately named 'Read_ready_response_handler'.
Issue #4706
This commit supplements the various I/O signal handlers of the VFS
plugins with calls of the new 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user'
interface, which will subsequently replace the old 'Io_progress_handler'
(issue #4697).
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.
Issue #4697
This patch removes the 'Insufficient_buffer' exception by returning the
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK result value instead. It also eliminates the
superfluous WRITE_ERR_AGAIN and WRITE_ERR_INTERRUPT codes.
Issue #4697
This patch fosters the batching of network packets transferred by the
lwIP stack over the NIC connection. It replaces the eager submission of
the packet-stream's data-flow signals by explicit wakeup notifications.
The commit also increases the NIC session's buffer size from 128 to 1024
packets.
Issue #4697
...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
'try_ack_packet' and 'try_get_packet', we avoid the implicit triggering
of data-flow signals. Instead, the VFS server now relies on explicit
calls of the packet stream's 'wakeup' interface.
Issue #4697
The change of the queue size from 16 to 32 has negligible costs (4 KiB
instead of 2 KiB for the packet-stream queues) while facilitating the
batching of many small consecutive write operations.

Count more accurately how much packets are in flied, and whether
new packets can be handled. Moreover, catch potential exceptions

This is required for scenarios in which a device appears at a later
point in time. If the ROM is not updated, the device_by_type() method may
operate on an outdated dataspace and never find the device it is waiting for.
Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
During interrupt handling the driver masked and cleared interrupts as
recommended in the spec to prevent spurious or unnecessary interrupts
from occurring.
Due to the way the current implementation operates new Block requests
got submitted while handling completions for already finished ones.
Since interrupts where masked at this point the controller did not
generate interrupts when the newly submitted requests got completed.
As the mask/clear optimization is apparently not strictly needed and
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.

If a device should not be reset, powered off, and its clocks
shall stay untouched when it gets released, the leave_operational
attribute can be set to true in the device node of the related
device inside the devices ROM delivered to the platform driver.
This is useful for drivers, which only enable and initialize
their device, and can be closed afterwards.

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.
Fixes#4634
On-demand initialization prevents read-write operations on BARs of
invalid devices at construction time, which may result in surprising
behavior later on, for example, when resetting X260 notebooks via ACPI
information.
These utilities simplify the control of clocks, resets, and power
domains from within the platform driver.
This is needed when driving a low-level device directly from the
platform driver, for example for driving the mbox mechanism to access
the system-control processor of the PinePhone.
