This catches bugs early on. E.g., when leaving an 'Allocation'
unused, it gets immediately deallocated, which is most probably not
intended. For regular 'Attempt' objects, this change encourages
the proper propagation of errors, or at least the logging of unexpected
conditions.
Fixes#5513
This patch converts the memory-allocator interfaces ('Allocator',
'Range_allocator') and their implementations ('Heap', 'Sliced heap',
'Slab', 'Allocator_avl', 'Synced_allocator') to the new 'Allocation'
utility. The new interface resides at base/memory.h whereas the
traditional allocators implement the new interface.
Down the road, the traditional allocators can successively be decoupled
from the traditional 'Allocator' and 'Range_allocator' interfaces.

After constructed, a 'Thread' object may remain in a dysfunctional state
should the stack allocation have failed. This condition is no longer
reflected as a C++ exception but as result value of 'Thread::info()'.
Keep 'Thread::name' as public constant because the stack is not always
available for storing the name.
The 'stack_top' accessor has been removed because this information is
already provided by 'Thread::info()'.

Under heavy load, the host may take its time to transfer 2x 16MiB on

When emitting TOUCH_RELEASE events, we have to make sure that the
release events refer to the corresponding ID of the preceding TOUCH
event(s).

This commit alignes the implementation to the intention of dismissing
invalid '<network>' entries. We only accept entries when they contain
a valid SSID and additionally a valid PSK if the network is protected.

This commit does away with controlling the join-intent via an attribute
but couples it to the existence of a '<network>' node. With this change
all '<network>' nodes within the configuration are always
unconditionally considered for joining.
Issue #5356.
This commit splits the intent to scan for a hidden network and the
actual configuration of a network itself by introducing
'<explicit_scan>' nodes. Like the '<network>' node these also feature
a 'ssid' attribute and each node is incorporated into the SCAN request
if its SSID is valid.

issue #5264
This commit streamlines the interaction between the Wifi::Manager
and the wpa_supplicant's CTRL interface.
As user-facing changes it alters some default settings and introduces
new features:
* Every configured network now needs to explicitly have its
'auto_connect' (to be considered an option for joining) attribute
set to 'true' whereas this was previously the default value if the
attribute was not set at all.
* The 'log_level' attribute is added and configures the supplicant's
verbosity. Valid values correspond to levels used by the supplicant
and are as follows 'excessive', 'msgdump', 'debug', 'info', 'warning'
and 'error'. The default value is 'error' and configures the least
amount of verbosity.
* The 'bgscan' attribute may be used to configure the way the
supplicant performs background-scanning to steer or rather optimize
roaming decision within the same network. The default value is set
to 'simple:30:-70:600'. It can be disabled by specifying an empty
value, e.g. 'bgscan=""'.
* The 'verbose_state' attribute was removed alltogether and similar
functionality is now coverted by 'verbose' attribute.
Implementation-wise the internals changed significantly and are
outlined in the following paragraphs.
Formerly the interaction between the manager and the supplicant
was handled in an apparent way where the internal state of each
interaction was in plain sight. This made the flow cumbersome to
follow and therefor each interaction is now confined to its own
'Action' object that encapsulates the ping-pong of commands and
responses between the manager and the supplicant. All actions are
processed in an sequential way and thus there is no longer any
need to defer pending actions depending on the interal state of
the current interaction. Configuration changes as well as events
issued by the supplicant where new actions can be created are
handled in this fashion. Of note are both signal-handlers,
'_handle_cmds' and '_handle_events' respectively.
The state report, which provides the information about the current
state of connectivity to a given wireless network, was dealt with
in the same vein and its handling was spread across the manager
implementation. Again, to make it easier to follow, the generation
of the state report is now purely driven by the 'Join_state' object.
This object encapsulates the state of connectivity and is normally
updated by events issued from the supplicant (see '_handle_events').
It is also incorporated when handling command responses (see
'_handle_cmds').
Handling of timed-actions, like scan and signal quality
update requests, was done by setting a timeout at the Timer session
directly and thus only one timed-action could be pending at any time.
This excluded dealing with timed-actions like connected-scanning
and signal quality polling concurrently. This was changed and now
a One_shot_timeout is used to programm each concurrent timed-action.
For implementing the communication channel for the CTRL interface the
manager and supplicant use a shared memory buffer, the Msg_buffer.
Since the CTRL interface for Genode was implemented using C, some
shenanigans were performed to access the memory buffer. Now the
CTRL interface implementation uses C++ and only exports the functions
required by the supplicant as C. This simplifies the usage of the
Msg_buffer and allows for removing the global functions needed for
synchronizing the Msg_buffer access as those are now part of the
object itself via the 'Notify_interface'.
Fixes#5341.
The 'convert_errno_from_linux' function was already used internally to
convert the Linux errno values to the matching FreeBSD libc ones when
calling socket functions.
It will now also be used to convert the error values included in
netlink messages as those, naturally, also correspond to the Linux
ones.
