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
Channels, and therefore contexts, may be shared between children
causing corruption when a child is destroyed while another child still
uses the old context within the channel.
related to #2601
In the past, we had the lock of the context we found for the rest of the scope
of pending_signal. Now we use for_each_locked to find the context and the
lock is released as soon as we return from for_each_locked. Thus, we need to
lock the context again before returning it to avoid that the copy constructor
during the return reads values that are currently changing.
Fixes#2532
The missing dissolve of the dummy decorator input component resulted in
problems when using the themed_decorator when repeatedly opening and
closing windows. In contrast to the default decorator, the themed
decorator creates and destroys nitpicker sessions per window.
Added a new constructor that takes the entrypoint as constructor
argument. The original constructor retrieves the entrypoint from the
Genode environment. This does not allow to use a different entrypoint.
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
On x86 64 bit with SeL4, the test needs around 80MB that must be
completely composed of 4KB-pages due to current limitations of the SeL4
port. Thus, Core must flush the page table caches pretty often during
the test which is an expensive high-prior operation and makes it
impossible to provide a highly precise time.
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.
