File-system interface, ram_fs, libc-fs This patch introduces the file-system-session interface, provides an implementation of this interface in the form of an in-memory file system, and enables the libc to use the new file-system facility. The new interface resides in 'os/include/file_system_session/'. It uses synchronous RPC calls for functions referring to directory and meta-data handling. For transferring payload from/to files, the packet-stream interface is used. I envision that the asynchronous design of the packet-stream interface fits well will the block-session interface. Compared to Unix-like file-system APIs, Genode's file-system session interface is much simpler. In particular, it does not support per-file permissions. On Genode, we facilitate binding policy (such as write-permission) is sessions rather than individual file objects. As a reference implementation of the new interface, there is the new 'ram_fs' service at 'os/src/server/ram_fs'. It stores sparse files in memory. At the startup, 'ram_fs' is able to populate the file-system content with directories and ROM modules as specified in its configuration. To enable libc-using programs to access the new file-system interface, there is the new libc plugin at 'libports/src/lib/libc-fs'. Using this plugin, files stored on a native Genode file system can be accessed using the traditional POSIX file API. To see how the three parts described above fit together, the test case at 'libports/run/libc_fs' can be taken as reference. It reuses the original 'libc_ffat' test to exercise several file operations on a RAM file-system using the libc API. :Known limitations: The current state should be regarded as work in progress. In particular the error handling is not complete yet. Not all of the session functions return the proper exceptions in the event of an error. I plan to successively refine the interface while advancing the file-system implementations. Also the support for truncating files and symlink handling are not yet implemented. Furthermore, there is much room for optimization, in particular for the handling of directory entries. Currently, we communicate only one dir entry at a time, which is bad when traversing large trees. However, I decided to focus on functionality first and defer optimizations (such as batching dir entries) to a later stage. The current implementation does not handle file modification times at all, which may be a severe limitation for tools that depend on this information such as GNU make. Support for time will be added after we have revisited Genode's timer-session interface (issue #1). Fixes #54 Fixes #171

File-system interface, ram_fs, libc-fs This patch introduces the file-system-session interface, provides an implementation of this interface in the form of an in-memory file system, and enables the libc to use the new file-system facility. The new interface resides in 'os/include/file_system_session/'. It uses synchronous RPC calls for functions referring to directory and meta-data handling. For transferring payload from/to files, the packet-stream interface is used. I envision that the asynchronous design of the packet-stream interface fits well will the block-session interface. Compared to Unix-like file-system APIs, Genode's file-system session interface is much simpler. In particular, it does not support per-file permissions. On Genode, we facilitate binding policy (such as write-permission) is sessions rather than individual file objects. As a reference implementation of the new interface, there is the new 'ram_fs' service at 'os/src/server/ram_fs'. It stores sparse files in memory. At the startup, 'ram_fs' is able to populate the file-system content with directories and ROM modules as specified in its configuration. To enable libc-using programs to access the new file-system interface, there is the new libc plugin at 'libports/src/lib/libc-fs'. Using this plugin, files stored on a native Genode file system can be accessed using the traditional POSIX file API. To see how the three parts described above fit together, the test case at 'libports/run/libc_fs' can be taken as reference. It reuses the original 'libc_ffat' test to exercise several file operations on a RAM file-system using the libc API. :Known limitations: The current state should be regarded as work in progress. In particular the error handling is not complete yet. Not all of the session functions return the proper exceptions in the event of an error. I plan to successively refine the interface while advancing the file-system implementations. Also the support for truncating files and symlink handling are not yet implemented. Furthermore, there is much room for optimization, in particular for the handling of directory entries. Currently, we communicate only one dir entry at a time, which is bad when traversing large trees. However, I decided to focus on functionality first and defer optimizations (such as batching dir entries) to a later stage. The current implementation does not handle file modification times at all, which may be a severe limitation for tools that depend on this information such as GNU make. Support for time will be added after we have revisited Genode's timer-session interface (issue #1). Fixes #54 Fixes #171

Follow practices suggested by "Effective C++" The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository. To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below: * A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the 'List' must become a friend. * Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes, we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in base/include/util/interface.h. * With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces. * If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error). For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those declarations should be prepended with a comment like this: /* * Noncopyable */ Thread(Thread const &); Thread &operator = (Thread const &); In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration. Issue #465

The new interface resides in 'os/include/file_system_session/'. It uses synchronous RPC calls for functions referring to directory and meta-data handling. For transferring payload from/to files, the packet-stream interface is used. I envision that the asynchronous design of the packet-stream interface fits well will the block-session interface. Compared to Unix-like file-system APIs, Genode's file-system session interface is much simpler. In particular, it does not support per-file permissions. On Genode, we facilitate binding policy (such as write-permission) is sessions rather than individual file objects. As a reference implementation of the new interface, there is the new 'ram_fs' service at 'os/src/server/ram_fs'. It stores sparse files in memory. At the startup, 'ram_fs' is able to populate the file-system content with directories and ROM modules as specified in its configuration. To enable libc-using programs to access the new file-system interface, there is the new libc plugin at 'libports/src/lib/libc-fs'. Using this plugin, files stored on a native Genode file system can be accessed using the traditional POSIX file API. To see how the three parts described above fit together, the test case at 'libports/run/libc_fs' can be taken as reference. It reuses the original 'libc_ffat' test to exercise several file operations on a RAM file-system using the libc API. :Known limitations: The current state should be regarded as work in progress. In particular the error handling is not complete yet. Not all of the session functions return the proper exceptions in the event of an error. I plan to successively refine the interface while advancing the file-system implementations. Also the support for truncating files and symlink handling are not yet implemented. Furthermore, there is much room for optimization, in particular for the handling of directory entries. Currently, we communicate only one dir entry at a time, which is bad when traversing large trees. However, I decided to focus on functionality first and defer optimizations (such as batching dir entries) to a later stage. The current implementation does not handle file modification times at all, which may be a severe limitation for tools that depend on this information such as GNU make. Support for time will be added after we have revisited Genode's timer-session interface (issue #1). Fixes #54 Fixes #171
