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.
Merge adaptations (such as EOF handling, adjustment to VFS/libc
interface changes) by Norman Feske.
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.
