In overload situations, i.e. when a sender fills up the entire buffer, we land
in situations where the sender receives an ack_avail signal, releases one
packet, allocates and sends a packet and fails to allocate a second packet.
This is especially relevant if the receiver does not batch ack_avail signals
(such as vfs_lwip). In those ping-pong scheduling scenarios, the overhead from
catching the Packet_alloc_failed exception becomes significant. In case of the
NIC router, we will land in an overload situation if the sender is faster than
the receiver. The packet buffer will be filled up at some point and the NIC
router starts to drop packets. For every dropped packet, we currently have to
catch the Packet_alloc_failed exception.
This commit adds a new method alloc_packet_attempt to Packet_stream_source that
has almost the same signature as the older alloc_packet method but returns
an Attempt<Packet_descriptor, Alloc_packet_error> object. As the method already
used the allocator back end exception-less, changes on lower levels were not
needed. Furthermore, the NIC router was modified to use the new exception-less
alloc_packet_attempt instead of alloc_packet.

The checksums for forwarded/routed UDP, TCP and ICMP, used to be always
re-calculated from scratch in the NIC router although the router changes only
a few packet fields. This commit replaces the old approach whereever sensible
with an algorithm for incremental checksum updates suggested in RFC 1071.
The goal is to improve router performance.

The wakeup call only emits a single signal as it assumed both are
handled by the same signal handler. However, the original implementation
did not reset the wakeup_needed variable properly.
genodelabs/genode#4555
When using signal batching, ack_avail and packet_avail should always
be emitted and preferred over ready_to_submit and ready_to_ack.
A signal receiver might decide to not register the ready_to_* signals when it
handles congestion by dropping packets. The Nic router is an example of
such a signal receiver.

Using the 'query_buffer_ppgtt()' function allows for retrieving the
virtual address of the buffer in the PPGTT.
This is for components that manage the GPU virtual addresses rather than
the client as is the case with the lima driver.

As accommodating the session component object is already taken care of

Fixes#4521.
There is a race between the trace subject doing the buffer
initialization and the monitor trying to iterate the buffer entries. If
the monitor tries to iterate entries of an uninitialized buffer, it will
read the very first entry twice. The monitor should therefore only start
iteration when the buffer has been initialised.

* Adds methods for copying raw data to the data field of Ethernet frames and
UDP packets. This is used in the port to wrap the higher-layer packet data
prepared by the contrib code with the additionally required headers before
sending it at a network session.
* Adds a method to cast raw data to an IPv4 packet. This is required in the
port in order to check values in stand-alone IP packets produced by the
contrib code before sending them at a network session.
* Adds methods for setting UDP ports given big endian port values without
having to convert to little endian in the app and then back to big endian in
the net lib.

Instead of returning an invalid device capability when a device
is (not yet) available, e.g. a PCI device is requested before the
PCI bus got parsed accordingly, we check the device capability
within the Platform::Connection utilities, and register temporarily
an Io_signal_handler to wait for changes of the devices ROM, and
try the device aquisition again. Thereby, simple drivers so not have
to take the burden to do so.
To enable this feature for all drivers, we always have to export a
devices ROM, but limit the information about physical resources
(I/O memory addresses, IRQ numbers, I/O port ranges) to clients with
'info=yes' in their policy description.

To discharge the generic platform driver from certain PCI bus scanning,
and ACPI + kernel specifics, this commit introduces a new component,
which consumes the acpi drivers report and the platform_info from core
to prepare a devices ROM for the platform driver that contains all
PCI devices and its resources.

This commit adjusts the value such that USB sessions requested by

This commit simplifies the current implementation by overloading the
length field with a padding indicator in addition to the zero-length
head entry. This simplifies the iteration semantics as it eliminates
the need for determining whether a zero-length entries is the actual
head of the buffer or a padding at the buffer end.

The new usb_host driver for PC by default needs more RAM quota in contrast

XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

'generate(Xml_node node)', as used by the Sculpt manager, calls this
function instead of the lambda version. The 'report' function of the
'Genode::Reporter' does not throw an exception in case there is not
enough backing storage for the 'generate' request. Therefore, we have to
check this condition in a loop and call '_increase_report_buffer' in
case size limits are reached.

This patch makes the server-side policy-matching logic available outside
the 'Session_policy' class. Given that the new 'with_matching_policy'
function does not throw any exception, it gives server implementations
the freedom to avoid the C++ exception mechanism for the policy handling.
If the platform driver lacks the 'managing_system="yes"' attribute,
requests for DMA addresses return 0. This patch is meant to help
diagnosing such configuration issues.

The new event type allows for the propagation of sequence numbers as a means to
validate the freshness of input handling. E.g., an menu-view-based application
can augment artificial sequence numbers to the stream of motion events supplied
to 'menu_view'. Menu view, in turn, can now report the latest received sequence
number in its hover reports, thereby enabling the application to robustly
correlate hover results with click positions.
