According to clang there are two symbols which File_system can refer to:
1. namespace File_system from ram_fs/chunk.h.
2. Vfs::File_system class from vfs/file_system.h.
Make it clear we refer to the File_system namespace in this case.

This trace policy can be used as a fault-injection mechanism.
Once installed, the next time the traced thread passes a trace point
(e.g., RPC call, RPC request, ...), the policy produces a divide-by-zero
exception.
During position scaling use the location width/height which is the permitted
dimension within the child space, instead of using the whole possible
child space. (Fixup for "init: scale affinity location" Issue #1412)
Thanks to the report by Peter.
This commit restores the diag feature for selecting diagnostic output of
services provided by core. This feature became unavailable with commit
"base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs", which hard-wired the
diag flag for core services to false.
To control this feature, three possible policies can be expressed in a
routing target of init's configuration:
* Forcing silence by specifying 'diag="no"'
* Enabling diagnostics by specifying 'diag="yes"'
* Forwarding the preference of the client by omitting the 'diag'
attribute
Fixes#3962
When compiling this code, clang complains reference to 'Sandbox' is
ambiguous. It can either mean ::Sandbox namespace from
os/src/lib/sandbox/types.h, or Genode::Sandbox declared in
repos/os/include/os/sandbox.h. Since the code refers to ::Sandbox::Child
and its already in ::Sandbox namespace we can just drop "Sandbox" and
refer to just Child, which makes clang happy.
Issue #3938
Instead of using the old 'ioctl' Vfs::File_io_services API implement
the I/O control functionality in a buch of files. This is similar to
the terminal-VFS plugin.
Fixes#3889.
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.
Ref #3816
When the 'raw' attribute is set to 'yes' the terminal VFS plugin will
ignore control characters. This in necessary for terminal connections
that transport data that contain such characters as part of message.
Fixes#3860.
Setting the 'size' attribute will restrict a reader to consume
0s up to the specified amount per VFS handle. The attribute is
parsed as 'Number_of_bytes', which will limit the amount to the
maximum of the addressable memory on the platform.
This addition comes in handy when needing to provide a synthetic
empty file with a fixed size.
Issue #3781.
- Since Genode::strncpy is not 100% compatible with the POSIX
strncpy function, better use a distinct name.
- Remove bogus return value from the function, easing the potential
enforcement of mandatory return-value checks later.
Fixes#3752
The sandbox library supports the forwarding of session requests from the
outside to one of the hosted children according to a policy. This patch
introduces the distinction between two cases, which previously triggered
the denial of the session request.
- There exists no matching policy for the requested session
- There exists a matching policy but the referred server child
does not exist (yet)
Whereas the proper response to the first case is the denial of the
request, the second case can occur in situation where a dynamic init is
used to implement a staged startup, for example via the deploy
mechanism. In such cases, a policy may exist as a static rule while the
server has not been started yet. This patch changes the behavior such
that such requests are stalled.
The patch is accompanied with test cases for exercising both situations.
Fixes#3733
The update modification timestamp is implemented as one-shot where
the caller is expected to try again if the first attempt failed (see
current libc implementation). So the message is misleading as further
attempts might succeed.
Issue #3713.
The tar vfs plugin returns an inode value of zero and a type directory
for null records, which wrongly triggers the file-system loop detection
of the find utility. This patch returns the node pointer as inode value
instead, which is a unique value.
Fixes#3695
An invalid ROM dataspace can occur, for example, when requesting a ROM
from the report_rom service before the first report was posted. Such a
<rom> node can still be useful if it's dynamic. E.g., it can be watched.
Hence, the corner case of an invalid ROM dataspace should be gracefully
handled instead of causing an abort.
Issue #3606
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
Issue #3601
This patch equips the VFS terminal file system with the ability to
detect user interrupts in the incoming data stream, and propagate this
information via the new pseudo file '.terminal/interrupts'. Each time,
the user presses control-c in the terminal, the value stored in this
pseudo file is increased. Thereby, a VFS client can watch this file to
get notified about the occurrences of user interrupts.
Fixes#3546
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
This patch replaces the formerly fixed 2 KiB data alignment within the
packet-stream buffer by a server-defined alignment. This has two
benefits.
First, when using block servers that provide small block sizes like 512
bytes, we avoid fragmenting the packet-stream buffer, which occurs when
aligning 512-byte requests at 2 KiB boundaries. This reduces meta data
costs for the packet-stream allocator and also allows fitting more
requests into the buffer.
Second, block drivers with alignment constraints dictated by the
hardware can now pass those constraints to the client, thereby easing
the use of zero-copy DMA directly into the packet stream.
The alignment is determined by the Block::Session_client at construction
time and applied by the Block::Session_client::alloc_packet method.
Block-session clients should always use this method, not the 'alloc_packet'
method of the packet stream (tx source) directly. The latter merely
applies a default alignment of 2 KiB.
At the server side, the alignment is automatically checked by
block/component.h (old API) and block/request_stream.h (new API).
Issue #3274
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
Replace the I/O response handler that is passed to the VFS at
construction with an object that is dynamically attached to handles.
This object shall also accept read-ready notifications, and plugins are
encouraged to keep handles awaiting ready-ready notifications separate
from handles that await I/O progress.
Replace the use of handle lists in plugins with handle queues, this
makes the code easier to understand and the ordering of notifications to
the application more explicit.
These changes replace the use of the Post_signal_hook from all VFS
plugins, applications must assume that read-ready and I/O notifications
occur during I/O signal dispatch and use an Io_progress_handler at its
entrypoints to defer response until after signal dispatching.
Fix#3257
The "Vfs::Vfs_handle" type should not contain any public members that
can be initialized by the VFS internally and by the application, so
remove inheritance from the "Genode::list::Element" class. The VFS
plugins must instead use lists of "Vfs::Vfs_handle" sub-classes, the
lifetime of which are always managed by the plugin.
Ref #3036
The "schedule_post_signal_hook" method of the Genode::Entrypoint class
is problematic because the signal hook can be scheduled and replaced
multiple times during the signal dispatch cycle. Add an alternative to
this method with "register_io_progress_handler" and the "Post_signal_
hook" class with "Io_progress_handler". The difference being an
"Io_progress_handler" may be registered once during the lifetime of an
entrypoint to prevent arbitrary libraries from replacing a pending hook.
The "register_io_progress_handler" remains as a deprecated API, and is
now invoked for every I/O signal received and only for I/O signals
rather than for any signal.
