Add a new plugin for creating pipes between pairs of VFS handles. It is
intended to replace the libc_pipe plugin, one of the last remaining libc
plugins.
In contrast to the libc_pipe plugin, this plugin defers cross-handle
notification until I/O signal handling rather than block and unblock
readers using a semaphore. This is a performance regression in the case
of multiple threads blocking on a pipe, but shall be an intermediate
mechanism pending renovations within the libc VFS and threading layers.
As a side effect, threads blocked on a pipe might not be resumed until
the main thread suspends and dispatches I/O signals.
The "test-libc_pipe" test has been adjusted to use the VFS pipe plugin
and tests both local pipes and pipes hosted remotely in the VFS server.
Fix#2303
The 'aes_cbc_4k' library is simple wrapper around libsparkcrypto to
serve as a backend for storage encryption. It operates on data chunks of
4 KiB and uses AES-CBC while incorporating the block number and the
private key as salt values.
The COW plugin provided only partial copy-on-write semantics and had
problems detecting recursive requests. Conversely, the import plugin has
much simpler behavior that is easy to test because it mirrors that of
the ram_fs server.
Ref #2745
This new vfs_import plugin allows a VFS instance to be populated during
construction using a sub-VFS configured in an '<import>' configuration
node. This allows the ram_fs File_system server to be replaced by the
VFS server by reimplementing the ram_fs 'content' feature. At the
moment the copying of symlinks is not enabled, and the resources
obtained by the import file-system may not be freed after the import is
finished.
Fix#2906
VFS plugin to replicate from one file-system to another. Can be used to
seed a mutable file-system with an immutable file-system. The plugin is
configure with two paths, a read-only path, and a read-write path. This
is an initial implementation that copies files on open. It is not
optimized to perform actual copy-on-write, but the result is the same.
<vfs>
<dir name="immutable"> ... </dir>
<dir name="mutable"> ... </dir>
<dir name="cow">
<cow ro="/immutable" rw="/mutable"/>
</dir>
</vfs>
Fix#2745
This commit introduces a VFS plugin that exposes the glyphs and
metadata of a TrueType font as a pseudo file system. The TTF font data
is obtained from the VFS. The resulting pseudo file system is a
directory that contains the files 'glyphs', 'baseline', 'max_width',
and 'max_height'.
The counter part of the plugin is the 'Vfs_font' class that implements
the 'Text_painter::Font' interface by accessing the pseudo file system
as provided by the TTF VFS plugin.
Fixes#2740
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
