This patch improves the handling of the corner case where a client vanishes while a session request is in flight (CREATE_REQUESTED but not yet AVAILABLE). This corner case could be sporadically observed with the init_loop test on base-linux. In the original version, the session would eventually be delivered but never picked up by anyone. Such a stale session still uses resources that should better be released. In the new version, the parent checks for the liveliness of the client whenever a session is delivered. If there is no client of the session, a close request is immediately issued to the server. The session state must be preserved until the close requests has been answered.
This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts: :_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the appropriate 'base-<system>' directory. :_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything together. _Core_ may export information about the hardware platform by an ROM called 'platform_info'. Depending on the platform, e.g. ARM or x86 or riscv, and depending on the boot mode and boot loader and kernel, some nodes may not be populated. !<platform_info> ! <acpi revision="2" rsdt="0x1fe93074" xsdt="0x1fe930e8"/> ! <boot> ! <framebuffer phys="0x7300000" width="1024" height="768" bpp="32"/> ! </boot> !</platform_info> If the ACPI RSDT and XSDT physical pointer is reported by the used kernel and/or bootloader, _Core_ may provide this information by the ROM. If the graphic device is initialised and can be directly used by a framebuffer driver, _Core_ may provide the physical pointer to the framebuffer, the resolution and color depth in bits.
