The new bytes() accessor returns a Byte_range_pointer as an alternative
to the 'local_addr' for accessing the content of the dataspace. This
facilitates the safe practice of passing (and validating) the buffer
bounds along with the pointer.
Issue #5351
By default, a 'Connection' donates an amount of caps as declared in
SESSION_TYPE::CAP_QUOTA to the server at session-creation time.
In some situations, however, a client may deliberately want to donate a
larger amount. For example, when opening a GUI session at the wm, the
total amount of needed caps is the sum of those consumed by the wm plus
those consumed by nitpicker. Using this knowledge, the Gui::Connection
may specify a sufficient amount to avoid iterative session-creation
retries. The new 'Connection' constructor accommodates this use case by
accepting an explicit 'cap_quota' argument.

This patch replaces the former Child::Process and
Child::Process::Loaded_executable classes by static functions that
return failure conditions as return values.
Issue #5245
- Remove exceptions
- Use 'Attr' struct for attach arguments
- Let 'attach' return 'Range' instead of 'Local_addr'
- Renamed 'Region_map::State' to 'Region_map::Fault'

The 'Thread_creation_failed' error is now reflected as
'Thread::Start_result' return value. This change also removes the
use of 'Invalid_thread' within core as this exception is an alias
of Cpu_session::Thread_creation_failed.
Issue #5245
This patch removes the exception formerly thrown by 'Cpu_thread::state'
and turns the 'Thread_state' structure into a plain compound type w/o a
constructor.

This patch replaces exceptions of the PD session RPC interface with
result types.
The change of the quota-transfer RPC functions required the adaptation
of base/quota_transfer.h and base/child.h.
The 'alloc_signal_source' method has been renamed to 'signal_source'
to avoid an exceedingly long name of the corresponding result type.
The Pd_session::map function takes a 'Virt_range' instead of basic-type
arguments.
The 'Signal_source_capability' alias for 'Capability<Signal_source>' has
been removed.
Issue #5245
This patch updates the signal API to avoid raw pointers, and
replaces the Context_already_in_use and Context_not_associated
exceptions by diagnostic messages.
Fixes#5247
This exception got introduced as a mere convenience for implementers of
'Child_policy' but required a special case in the base library.
Following the goal of eliminating exceptions from the base system,
this patch removes it by making a server_id_space mandatory.
Issue #5245
This patch allows the use of the 'Id_space' utility without catching
'Unknown_id' exceptions. Instead, the new 'apply' overload takes a
second functor 'missing_fn' as argument, which is called whenever the
lookup fails.
Issue #5244
Per default Tslab checks that 8 slabs incl. overhead fit into one block.
If this is not desired the template parameter 'MIN_SLABS_PER_BLOCK' can
be used to control the minimum number of blocks.
Fixes#3834
Since component.cc is no longer linked to core, we can also remove
entrypoint.cc, which was merely a dependency of component.cc.

This patch replaces the former 'address_space' accessor by a new
'with_address_space' interface that grants access to the region map of
the child's address space, but limits the interface lifetime to the
scope of the caller.
Issue #4917
This patch ultimatedly removes format strings from Genode's base API.
Users of the former base/snprintf.h and base/console.h headers may
use the free-standing 'format' library hosted in the ports repository.
Fixes#2064Fixes#3869
The new 'Connection' constructor accepts the session label, affinity,
and args as constructor arguments. The session arguments are passed as a
'Genode::String'. This allows for side-stepping the need for rendering a
format string passed to 'Env::session'.
Issue #2064
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.
genodelabs/genode#4600
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.
genodelabs/genode#4513
After reverting unused ranges during allocator destruction
'_meta_data.free_empty_blocks' may lead to more unused ranges because
meta data blocks maybe freed where the meta data for the blocks is
managed by other meta data blocks. This leads to dangling allocation
warnings which are caused by meta data. Therefore, we call
'_revert_unused_ranges' and 'free_empty_blocks' until no more ranges
can be freed.
issue #4466
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.
Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.
This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:
UNATTACHED prior any call of 'trace'
ATTACHED after a trace monitor called 'trace'
but before the tracing is active
TRACE tracing is active
Fixes#4447
The new macros GENODE_TRACE_TSC and GENODE_TRACE_TSC_NAMED complement
the existing GENODE_LOG_TSC and GENODE_LOG_TSC_NAMED macros to simplify
TSC measurements at a low overhead of the trace mechanism.
Split the trace buffer into two partitions in order to prevent overwriting
of entries when the consumer is too slow. See file comment in buffer.h.
genodelabs/genode#4434
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.
genodelabs/genode#4434
When committing a new entry, the buffer wrapped if the last entry fit
perfectly into the buffer. Otherwise, the length field of the next entry
was set to 0 to mark the new head. Yet, if there was still some padding but not
enough to hold the length field of another entry, we ended up with a
headless buffer.
genodelabs/genode#4430
Since the head of the buffer is marked by a zero-length entry, we must
only write the length field if a new head was set. Otherwise, the
consumer might already read the new entry and not find the new head as a stop
condition.
