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

The commit "sculpt_manager: relax nic_drv policy label" introduced the use of
the "label_prefix" attribute instead of "label" for the uplink policy in the
NIC router. However, it missed an appropriate adaption of the lookup of that
attribute when the Sculpt manager has to decide which uplink is used in a
manually managed router config. This caused the uplink to disappear whenever a
user created a manually managed router config. This commit fixes the problem.

This commit circumvents faulty behaviour of base-pistachio, if
the PCI config space gets requested megabyte-wise. It occurs that
we get a mapping sequence in between sigma0, core and component,

with the consequence that the component stalls when accessing
the latter one. By requesting I/O memory aligned to the size,
the faulty behaviour vanishes.

This is required for scenarios in which a device appears at a later

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.

200 TSC ticks for max measurement duration can get too small on platforms

Try to allocate within constraint area first. In case the area is exhausted,
try allocation at other memory locations.
The motivation for this is to limit DMA allocations to 4GB (since some
devices require addresses below 4GB). On some platforms there is little
physical RAM in this area (<1GB) and the constrainted area exhausts. In
case an IOMMU is present, RAM at higher locations can still be mapped
below 4GB, which is done in the platform drivers.

When using the newer genode_c_api uplink library, an uplink connection uses
the device name as label, which enables integrators to use different policies
resp. routes for different devices driven by one driver. The nic_drv policy
of the nic_roouter configuration generated by the sculpt_manager however uses
an empty label like: "nic_drv -> ". This is the way how existent NIC drivers,
like ipxe_nic_drv requested their uplink session. To support both driver
variants this commit relaxes the policy by checking for a prefix only.

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.

On some Cortex A9 platforms (Qemu 4.2.1 PBXA9), the IRQ status register is not
reliable. Sometimes, it indicates an IRQ too early, i.e., shortly before the
counter wraps. Therefore we have to accomplish wrap detection via counter
comparison only. We check whether the current counter value is higher than the
start counter value of the current timeout.
However, this implies that we have to take care to always read out the counter
before it hits the max timout value again. And, therefore, the max timeout
value has to be far away from the first value the counter has after wrapping.
Consequently, we propagate a max timeout value of half the max counter value.

The NIC router README claims that the 'dns_config_from' attribute in a DHCP
server configuration binds the propagated link state of all interfaces at the
domain of the server to the validity of the IP config of the domain that is
given through 'dns_config_from'.
However, this was not true. The router missed to implement this detail which
led to clients of such a DHCP server sending DHCP DISCOVER packets too early.
These early DHCP DISCOVER packets were dropped by the router potentially
causing a big delay until the client started a new attempt. Unnecessary long
network boot-up delays were observed with at least the lwip run script and
Sculpt on the PinePhone and could be tracked down to this former
inconsistency in the router.

This patch avoids repetitive depot queries at the start of the Sculpt
system.
We don't need to trigger a query unconditionally whenever the
managed/deploy changes because the call of 'handle_deploy' triggers a
query when needed.
We don't need to trigger a query once the prepare step is completed
because the depot_query component is spawned at this point. The initial
blueprint produced by the depot_query component, in turn, triggers the
'handle_deploy' mechanics in the sculpt manager.
The constructor of the Sculpt manager's 'Main' does not need to call
'depot_deploy' because the prepare step - which is a precondition for
the deployment - cannot be completed at this point anyway.

This patch consolidates the repetitive error handling across the RPC
functions, which take node handles or directory handles as arguments.
During this change, I noticed that directory handles - which are values
provided by the client - were not checked for their type before being
used. A misbehaving client may open a file, manually construct a
directory handle using the number of the file handle, and invoke a
directory operation at lx_fs, which would then wrongly access a file
node as directory node.
This patch solves this issue by introducing two distinct methods
_with_open_node and _with_open_dir_node, which perform the respective
safety checks.
Fixes#4608
Creating and destructing an interface was not considered a change of its real
link state as defined in the description of the <report link_state_triggers="">
config attribute in the router's README. In case of Uplink sessions this is
obviously a problem as they communicate their real link state through session
lifetime. But also in case of NIC sessions it's a possible to create an
interface that is immediately "up" after creation or destruct an interface
without its link state going "down" beforehand.
Taking into account also the practical application of the
<report link_state_triggers=""> attribute, reporting only on destruction and
construction of interfaces that are "up" seems shorthanded. This is because a
report-receiver most likely needs to be able to synchronize the lifetime of
the objects that keep track of the link states with the lifetime of the
corresponding sessions.
That said, with this commit, the router triggers a report update on each
session construction/destruction when <report link_state_triggers=""> is
set.
Fixes#4462
The NIC router used to generate reports triggered by IP config changes or link
state changes synchonously, i.e., inline with the activation context that
caused the change. This has two disadvantages. First, it can lead to an
excessive number of report updates in situations with quick bursts of
triggering changes. In such situations it is preferable to collect the changes
and reflect them with only one final report update.
Second, synchronous reporting may happen while the router is in a state that
leads to an incorrect report (e.g. during reconfiguration). To prevent this
from happening, the router so far explicitely switched off reporting when
entering incoherent states and back on when leaving them. However, this
solution is error-prone as the exclusion windows must be maintained manually.
Both issues can be solved by not directly generating a report when necessary
but instead submitting a signal and letting the signal handler do the work in
a dedicated activation context.
Ref #4462
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.
Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!
With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.

This patch splits the former DEPOT=omit option into two variants.
The new 'list' option behaves like the former 'omit' option, skipping
the creation of the tar archive from the depot content referenced by the

When specifying 'omit' in th new version, the local depot is not queried
for the packages referenced in the deploy configuration. So the
deployment can refer to packaged hosted only remotely.

private and instead introduces a public lambda method 'construct' that calls
one lambda argument on success and another on failure. This is also in line

the NIC router and contributes to the goal of reducing expensive exception
handling.

The Interface class of the router is an abstraction for NIC client sessions,
NIC server sessions, and Uplink sessions. Nonetheless, Interface generally used
to use the packet stream types of the Nic namespace and it worked because the
Uplink packet stream types are factually the same (the are typedef'd from the
same base type templates with the same parameters).
The initial intention of this issue was to remove dependency on the diverse
packet stream stream types from Interface. However, this turned out to be more
tricky than thought. The Interface class calls function templates on the packet
stream types, making a generic virtual interface impossible. And moving the
calling code to the session classes as well would produce a lot of redundancy.
Therefore, this commit removes only the use of the Nic namespace in the
interface.* files by typedef'ing the packet stream types from the generic
Genode type templates with the same parameters as in Nic and Uplink.
