Init's state reports are updated whenever an interesting part of init's
internal state changes (e.g., when sessions are established, or when
children are started/removed). However, until now, a change of a skipped
heartbeat counter was not taken as trigger for state-report updates.
In scenarios where no other intersting event happened, the last reported
state did no reflect the current heartbeat state. In particular, when
the last report was issued during the construction of a new child just
before the child became able to respond to heartbeat requests, the stale
report hinted at heartbeat problems that were just an initialization
artifact. This problem became visible on some Qemu platform where the
child startup takes a long time.
The patch tracks the observed skipped-heartbeat counter and triggers a
report whenever the counter value changes.
Issue #3079
By adding an additional synchronization point in the form of a matched
log message, this patch makes the timing behavior of the "test changing
provided services" step more deterministic. Without it, the scheduling
of OKL4 and base-hw resulted in a merge of two config updates into one.
Issue #3079
Packets whose data is stored within the Packet_descriptor itself
but not as payload, .e.g Usb::Packet_descriptor, are valid packets
after all. So loosen the packet valid check for zero-sized packets
is reasonable.
Fixes#3076.
Our overall nightly test time greatly decreases when the timeouts for
the single tests are not that over-pessimistic. Using the slowest
platforms as reference, this commit reduces the test timeouts.
Ref #3027
For reading the MAC address we try first to read it from the <policy> tag, and
when it is not defined in the <policy> tag, we allocate a MAC. But there was
no handling of the case that there is no appropriate <policy> tag. In this
case we want to create the session with an allocated MAC also.
This patch makes init robust against invalid routing rules that lack a
name attribute in the '<service>' node. This situation may occur when
interactively editing routes in Sculpt.
Some application code is dereferencing the pointer returned by
'packet_content' at packet streams without checking that it is valid.
Throw an exception rather than return a null pointer, except for
zero-length packets, which have somewhat implicit invalid content and
that we believe to be properly handled in all current cases.
The client-side of a packet stream cannot take corrective action if the
server-side is sending packets with invalid content, but the servers
that provide packet streams should catch this exception to detect
misbehaving clients.

The bulk buffer is now 64Byte-aligned so that the allocated

Issue #3053
This patch improves the detection of new appearing top-most windows.
Such a window should prompt the decorator to bring the corresponding
nitpicker view(s) to the front of the view stack. The original
implementation relied on hints provided by the layouter (the 'topped'
attribute). With the patch, the decorator tracks the top-most window by
itself, which improves the robustness.
As a second improvement, the patch defers the destruction of windows to
the point when all other window operations are completed. This hides
intermediate states when replacing one window by another in one step,
which is typical for console-like scenarios. Hence, this patch should
eliminate flickering artifacts when switching from one virtual console
to another.

* Account all RAM/CAP quota of a session except quota for metadata used in
core. The latter is considered when asking if a session can afford to make

atop of the allocators down to the level of RAM/RM session operations.

Like suggested by RFC 2663, reprogram the dissolve timeout of a TCP link
state to 2 times the maximum segment lifetime (by default 1 minute) when
receiving a matching packet with the FIN flag set, or with the ACK flag
set to acknowledge a FIN of the remote side.
Mark a link state as closed (no further reprogramming of the dissolve
timeout) and set the dissolve timeout to 2 times the maximum segment
lifetime when receiving a packet with the RESET flag set.
Issue #2953
If the NIC router has insufficient CAP or RAM quota for the creation of
a state object for an interface, it tries to destroy a certain amount of
existing state objects of this interface to free resources. Afterwards,
it retries handling the current packet once. If it does fail again, the
router drops the packet.

The VFS server does not support file-system with one single-file plugin

Description from https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html
The ten grey keys Insert, Home, PgUp, Delete, End, PgDn, Up, Left,
Down, Right are supposed to function regardless of the state of Shift
and NumLock keys. But for an old AT keyboard the keypad keys would
produce digits when Numlock was on or Shift was down. Therefore, in
order to fool old programs, fake scancodes are sent: when LShift is
down, and Insert is pressed, e0 aa e0 52 is sent; upon release of
Insert e0 d2 e0 2a is sent. In other words, a fake LShift-up and fake
LShift-down are inserted.

Fix#2923
When the cached_fs_rom saturates the packet stream of its File_system
session it will call the session request handler recursively as pending
transfers are completed. This is bad because the content of the XML node
currently being processed will change.
The session request handler can no longer be called directly, but the
"schedule" method will submit a signal to the request handler, and
requests will be processed after the current operation has completed.
Calling 'handle_io_response()' in a regular VFS function (in contrast to a
post-signal hook) can cause problems if the caller of the VFS function holds
a lock which prevents the io response handler from returning.
With this commit, the user of the VFS becomes responsible for unblocking
threads which might be blocking after a failed 'queue_read()', 'queue_sync()'
or 'write()' call.
Fixes#2896
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
The ram plugin to the VFS must send notifications to watch handles on

the ram_fs server for the sake of notifications.
Move run/fs_report to gems and use the vfs server and the vfs init
plugin in the test.
Ref #2902
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
When mounting a ROM module with binary="no", the
vfs will detect the 0-termination to calculate the
file size instead of using the dataspace size.

Process I/O packets in batches. If a batch is processed and there are
still packets pending, send a signal locally to the packet handler and
return to the entrypoint signal dispatcher. This prevents clients from
starving each other, which happens when a client continuously submits
packets at a faster rate than the server can process.

Test of File_system I/O scheduling. It appears that a client not

The 200-second timeout of the init test triggers on some test platform
(in particular on qemu) while it is overly pessimistic on others.
This patch aims at stabilizing the timing behavior of the test across
the tested kernels/machines.
This is a follow-up patch of "init: avoid too eager child restart". On
each config update of init, init re-applies child-specific configuration
changes. In the case of an already exited child, this re-evaluation
wrongly marked such a child as abandoned because the child's environment
sessions do no longer exist. Abandoning the child, in turn, triggers the
destruction and subseqent restart (because the <start> node of the
configuration still exists). The latter is bad for two reasons.
First, the exit state of the original instance becomes lost. Second, the
restart may have unexpected side effects due to sessions created by the
new instance. I.e., when resizing a partition in sculpt, init would
wrongly restart the gpt-write tool after the tool successfully exited.
This collides with a newly started instance of part_blk/resize2fs, which
now competes with the second gpt-write instance for the exclusive access
of the targeted block device.
The patch prevents init from re-applying configurations to exited
children. The accompanied test case covers the corner case.
Do not simply wait for the good ping test to finish, but for the other
flood tests to trigger the RAM exhaustion. This makes the test more
robust with slower platforms or a different timing.

The log messages covered by verbose_packet_drop were previously
configured by the verbose attribute. This isn't the case anymore. Now,
you can configure them as follows:
! <config verbose_packet_drop="no" ... >
! <domain verbose_packet_drop="no" ... />
! <config/>
The new attribute determines whether to log each packet drop and the
rational behind it. The <config> value affects all domains without a
<domain> local value.

The ICMP-Echo-server functionality of the router has the following
configuration attributes (default values shown):
! <config icmp_echo_server="yes">
! <domain icmp_echo_server="yes" ... />

The icmp_echo_server attribute configures whether the router answers ICMP Echo
requests that address the router. The <config> value affects all domains
without a <domain> local value.
Issue #2874
When a domain is updated to a new component config, the two criteria for
keeping an ARP waiting state of a remote domain are whether the remote
domain still exists and whether its IP config is still the same. This
means that a domain must also dissolve all of its remote ARP waiting
states if its IP config changes (without an update of the component
config). This wasn't the case until now.
Issue #2840
The chroot server was conceived to automatically place File_system
sessions into segregated root directories by converting session labels
to paths. If multiple children needed to be grouped under the same path,
a 'merge' policy would truncate the session label before path conversion.
Now that init can rewrite session labels and thus reproduce truncation,
the chroot merge feature is redundant and can be removed.

Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.

Dissolve and destroy the invalid domain first before deinitializing all
domains for the next round. This way, the deinitialization is not done twice
for the invalid domain.
Issue #2840
Due to a bug in the deinitialization of the DHCP server of a domain (the
reference to the destroyed object was not cleared), the NIC router could
end up in a page fault caused by a double-free at the heap. This also fixes
the previously missing dissolving of the "DNS-server-from" relation to a
remote domain.
Issue #2840
Currently has three clients that continuously create new UDP/TCP/ICMP
connections through the NIC router with NAT to the outer world and they
get never closed. A fourth client does normal ping through the same
domain to the outer world that must succeed even after the RAM quota of
the other session at the router is exhausted. The test is restricted to
Qemu to not being at risk to flood real networks.
Issue #2857
This patch weakens the aggressive restart of a child with incomplete
environment sessions. The restart check is performed each time
the init configuration changes. In sculpt, this is not a rare special
case anymore but a frequent case when using the depot_rom as provider
for environment ROM sessions. In particular when starting a chain of
inter-depending children, the sculpt-manager quickly generates a
sequence of configurations with successively added start nodes.
The addition of the 'Cap_consumer' feature to app/dummy increased the
static RAM demand of the component to a point where 1 MiB no longer
suffices on sel4 (on this kernel, the base library uses a larger amount
of statically allocated data compared to the others). The tweaks enable
init.run and init_loop.run to work on sel4 on x86-64.
Selecting an alternate interface setting, even if it is the same as the
current one, apparently makes the INQUIRY command fail with USB devices
like 'SanDisk Ultra Fit' (0781:5583) and 'Corsair Flash Voyager'
(1b1c:1a03) when the USB block driver is restarted.
Fixes#2860
* Catch Quota_guard exceptions wherever we do 'new (_alloc)' in Interface
and in case drop the packet that caused the exception
* Modify Interface::handle_config_2 to not use the guarded allocator of the
NIC session quota as we cannot handle a RAM exhaustion well at this point
in time. Instead use a Constructible member in Interface so that a needed
RAM adds up to the calculation in the create_session implementation where
an exhaustion is handled via a service denial.
Issue #2857
The interface destructor called pure virtual methods at least when
cancelling ARP- waiting states. The implementations were made by the
deriving classes Session_component respectively Uplink. This led to an
abort of the NIC router as the destruction of the derived class was
already done. A similar problem already occured in the past during the
construction of Interface and was back then solved by introducing a
separate init() method. This commit, however, solved the problem by
making Interface a member of the other classes. Therefore, the init()
method could be removed again. Furthermore, the interface polica could be
moved from Session_component_base to Session_component. The commit also
had to generalize the way the link state of an interface is determined.
Fixes#2856
While a child is abandoned, we must limit the start of anothers with
the same name. Otherwise - of the child has startup problems - a number
of abandoned children with the same name may queue up. This becomes a
problem whenever the child destruction depends on an asynchronous
service that provides an env session for the children. If the service is
unable to keep up with the session requests (both create and close),
the queue of abandoned children becomes unbounded. Limiting the child
creation rate to one abandoned child per name mitigates this problem.
This patch reduces the latency of state reports when children are
removed or added, thereby, accellerating the feedback loop between a
management component and init during the staged startup or removal of
inter-dependent components.
This test monitors the RAM quota of a dynamic init and a server hosted
within the dynamic init in the presence of a repeatedly created and
destructed client.
Previously we were doing the initialization once over all domains,
remembered which of them became invalid and destroyed those afterwards.
This isn't sufficient. As soon as one domain becomes invalid we have to
dissolve/destroy this one, deinitialize all other domains again (as they
could contain references to the invalid domain) and retry to initialize
them from the beginning. We proceed with this until we have one run
without a domain becoming invalid. Then we can be sure that the last
initialization run did not create references to any invalid domain.
Issue #2840
The generic helper Avl_string_tree of the NIC router is currently only

identifier.

In contrast to most information of init's state reports, which can be
monitored at a relatively low rate (like 2 seconds in Sculpt's runtime),
resource requests call for an immediate response by the consumer of the
report. Otherwise the requesting child stays unnecessarily blocked until
the next rate-limited state report is due. This patch adds a fast lane
for such low-latency state updates to init.
Do not send nor buffer packets at interfaces with link state "down". This
prevents that packets that were routed to one network (allowed to see them),
due to a sudden link down/up, are leaked to another network that is not
allowed to see them.
When updating an interface in the NIC router to a new configuration and
the domain name of the interface has not changed but the domain
disappeared, the NIC router did not detach from the old domain correctly
which led to broken remnants of interface state objects (like connection
states).
Adapt the nic_router_uplinks run script to work with the fix.
fs_report truncated the report file on construction of the report
session to mimic an "empty report". This prevented existing use cases
where the initial state was already written to the file system by other
means.
I doubt that use cases exist where the inital empty-report mimic is
needed and (if I'm wrong) there is still the race of the consumer
reading the file just before the report session is constructed.
Reporters that want to enforce an empty initial report should send it
explicitly.
Clients may wish to act on missing files. In any case the fs_rom
needs to reopen a watch handle when a file is deleted, and this
sort of change to the internal state machine is propelled by
client RPC requests.
Fix#2839
The new 'displays' report contains information about the used
framebuffer backend. It is issued when nitpicker has successfully passed
all initialization, in particular the connection to the framebuffer
driver. Hence, it can be taken as an indicator of whether the framebuffer
is available or not (e.g., caused by a faulty driver).
When re-configuring the NIC router, determine for each domain if at least one
interface stays with the domain. If a domain fullfills this and has a
dynamic IP config (received via a DHCP client), keep the IP config.
To achieve this, the following changes have been made to the existing NIC
router code:
* Split-up Interface::handle_config into three steps:
1) Determine for each interface if its domain can keep its IP config or
or if it has to mark it invalid. This must be done before (re-)attaching
any interface because during "attach" several decisions are made based on
the validity of the IP config of corresponding the domain.
(E.g. whether to participate in sending DHCP DISCOVERs {IP config
invalid} or whether to participate in sending pending ARP REQUESTs
{IP config valid} ).
2) Detach, attach, or re-attach each interface according to the
configuration. This must be done before re-considering the temporary
state objects of each interface because the latter might have effects
on the interfaces of remote domains which must then be in place already.
3) Re-consider temporary state objects of each interface. (E.g. transport
layer connection states)
* Re-work IP-config setter in a way that it works as follows:
1) If the old IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain detach from the old
IP config.
2) Overwrite with new IP config
3) If the new IP config is valid, let all local interfaces as well as remote
interfaces that depend on the IP config of the domain attach to the new
IP config.
Issue #2815
The new attribute config.domain.label has effect only at the uplink
domain-tag. It determines which label the NIC router shall use when
requesting the NIC session for the uplink domain. If value of this

re-requests the NIC session of the uplink with the new label.

Issue #2837
When an environment session is provided by a async service such as a
sibling component, the session metadata must be preserved until end of
the lifetime of the session at the server has been acknowledged by the
server. Since the session meta data of env sessions are always part of
the 'Child' object, the destruction of this object must be deferred
until this point.
Merge the 'Packet_handle' into the 'Rom_root' and use an Id_space to
match File_system handles to session objects rather than a list. This
avoids the need to override 'Root_component::_destroy_session'.
Fix#2833
When exhausted of RAM quota while starting children, init used to throw
an uncaught 'Out_of_ram' exception as this condition was considered
fatal. However, this behavior is undesired when init is used in a highly
dynamic yet long-running fashion like sculpt's runtime subsystem. This
change keeps init running despite the error condition, giving the user
the chance to relieve the resource pressure.
The 'View_stack::draw_rec' method limited the redraw to parts of the
view that were explicitly marked as dirty. This does not produce the
desired result when stacking multiple transparent views. Here, the
background views must be drawn regardless of whether they are marked as
dirty or not.
The file may also be changed by other components, so a open-close cycle
for write() is more robust. For example, Vim removes the original file
and recreates with the new content.
The '_active_mode' must not be changed at any time except when the
client asks for the 'Framebuffer::mode'. Otherwise, the dimensions of
dataspace used by the client is not always consistent with the mode
information as gathered by the client.
On real hardware, the tests expect an IPv4 subnet such that UDP requests
to 10.0.0.2 port 12345 get answered with an ICMP destination port unreachable.

Adaption to mac-address allocation changes
Normally, the NIC sessions are independent from the domain tags.
However, by now the uplink session, in contrast to the sessions of the
other domains, is still not a server but a client. This means that only
the NIC router itself can decide when to open and close uplink sessions
and how many. Thus, with this commit, we break with the pattern that
session lifetime is independent from domains by letting the NIC router
create the uplink session when the uplink domain appears and close the
session when the domain disappears.
Fixes#2795
Since the router MAC is allocated like the donwlink MACs it can't happen
anymore that these MACs clash, for instance due to nested routers. Thus,
the range of the MAC allocators of nested routers must not be exclusive
anymore which deprecates the 'mac_first' configuration attribute.
Issue #2795
Allocate a virtual MAC address at runtime that is used as router
Ethernet-identity for all downlink domains. This makes the downlink
domains independent from the uplink session.
Issue #2795
The old MAC allocator had several drawbacks:
* the address base was a public static that could and must have been written
directly from outside the class
* the in-use-flag array was based on unsigned values consuming 4 bytes each
for only one bit of information
* it was a public header that we actually don't want to expose to all
components but only to the few networking components
* it used the not-so-safe bit notation for integer members of GCC
The new version fixes all these drawbacks.
Issue #2795
Instead of handing over the maximum available size to the packet data
accessors, hand over a size guard that keeps track of the packets
boundaries.
This commit also moves the size-guard utilitiy header of Ping and NIC
Router to the include/net directory making it a part of the net library.
It applies the new approach to all net-lib users in the basic repositories.
Ping looses its configurability regarding the ICMP data size as this would
require an additional method in the size guard which would be used only by
Ping.
The size guard was also re-worked to fit the fact that a packet can
bring a tail as well as a header (Ethernet).

For now it is enough to differentiate the most commonly used file
system on Genode, e.g. Ext2 for the Genode partition and FAT32 for
(U)EFI partitions.
Issue #2803.
The component will now always try to parse the MBR as well as the GPT
(in this order). It will bail out if both are considered valid, using
GPT/MBR hybrid tables is not supported.
Fixes#2803.
The Ethernet payload may be followed by padding of variable length and
the FCS (Frame Check Sequence). Thus, we should consider the value
"Ethernet-frame size minus Ethernet-header size" to be only the maximum
size of the encapsulated IP packet. But until now, we considered it to
be also the actual size of the encapsulated IP packet. This commit fixes
the problem for all affected components of the Genode base-repository.
Fixes#2775
This reduces the redundant implementations of checksum calculation to
one generic implementation, makes the checksum interface conform over
all protocols, and brings performance optimizations. For instance,
the checksum is now calculated directly in big endian which saves us
most of the previously done byte-re-ordering.
Issue #2775
Replace packet method 'T *data' by the new methods 'T &reinterpret_data'
for parsing or modifying existing sub-protocol packets and 'T
&construct_at_data' for composing a new sub-protocol packet. This has
the advantage that, when composing a new packet, the default constructor
that zero-fills the packet is always called first.
Fixes#2751
This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.

On the Raspberry PI, the 2 seconds of round time in the polling test
were not sufficient to reach the goal of at least 1000 successful polls.
Thus, the commit sets the round time to 2.5 seconds which doesn't hurt to
much but allows the RPI to just make it.
Fixes#2779
This patch largely reverts the feature of selecting parts of input nodes
from within the output node (as originally introduced by commit
7263cae5a18b4f1f2293d031f9bafcf05ba51146). The selection of content
should be consistently performed by input nodes instead. The principle
ability of copying input nodes verbatim into the output stays available.
Issue #2691
The new 'attribute' and 'value' attributes of input nodes
can be used to select input sub nodes that match the presence and value
of the specified attribute.
Issue #2691
This patch replaces the terminal's formerly built-in fonts with the new
VFS-based font handling.
To avoid the copying of the terminal's font configuration across run
scripts, this patch adds the new terminal/pkg runtime package, which
includes everything needed for instantiating a terminal: the actual
terminal component, the library dependencies (vfs_ttf, which in turn
depends on the libc), a font (bitstream-vera), and a reasonable default
configuration.
Fixes#2758
The 'stat' method is called for all paths, not just the specific file
system node of the ROM module. The ROM update is needed only in the
latter case.
Otherwise, when always updating the ROM on stat, stat calls on the VFS
become very expensive in the presence of a mounted ROM module if the ROM
is obtained from fs_rom (which re-watches the file and all its
individual path elements whenever the 'update' RPC function is called).
Reduce the size and forward compatibility of VFS file-system
constructors by passing an object holding accessors for 'Genode::Env',
'Genode::Allocator', response handlers, and the root file-system.
Fix#2742
When working with GPIO interrupts on i.MX6SX for Ethernet PHYs
it became obvious that the GPIO driver repeatedly receives interrupts
for the same event, because it acknowledges the interrupt before a
client has handled the event.
Ref #2750
This driver component provides support for using consumer NVMe storage
devices, i.e. it omits name space managment and will always use the
first name space, on Genode. For now it defaults to a reasonable low
configuration:
- 1 I/O queue (completion/submission tuple)
- 128 entries in the I/O queue
- 4096 as the only I/O transaction memory page size
Fixes#2747.
The 'default' attribute is useful to change the default value for those
protocol attributes that are not explicitely set in the configuration of
the component.
Issue #2738
Each supported protocol now has an attribute with the name of the protocol in
the config tag. Each of these attributes accepts one of four possible values:
* no - do not print out this protocol
* name - print only the protocol name
* default - print a short summary of the most important header values
* all - print all available header values
Example:
! <config eth="name"
! arp="all"
! ipv4="default"
! dhcp="no"
! icmp="all"
! udp="no"
! tcp="default"
! ... />
Corresponding output example:
! ETH IPV4 10.0.2.212 > 10.0.2.55 time 7158 ms (Δ 11 ms)

Issue #2738
Nitpicker's 'Session:focus' call used to trigger a one-off focus change
at call time. This focus change did not pass the same code paths as a
focus change triggered by a "focus" ROM update, which led to
inconsistencies.
This patch changes the implementation of 'Session::focus' such that the
relationship of the caller and the focused session is preserved after
call time. Whenever the calling session is focused in the future, the
specified session will receive the focus instead. So 'Session::focus'
represents no longer a single operation but propagates the information
about the inter-session relationship. This information is taken into
account whenever the focus is evaluated regardless of how the change is
triggered.
This makes the focus handling in scenarios like the window manager more
robust.
Issue #2746
Relative motion events with a motion vector of (0,0) should not exists.
They cause jittery movements of nitpicker's pointer position. This
patch filters out such events.
This tests ping with simple IP forwarding, ping with NAPT as well as
forwarding of ICMP "Destination Unreachable" messages through the NIC
router.
Issue #2732
The 'ping' component continuously sends ICMP Echo requests to a given IP host
and waits for the corresponding ICMP Echo replies. For each successfull ICMP
Echo handshake it prints a short statistic. By now, it can be used only with a
static IP configuration. The size of the ICMP data field can be configured. It
gets filled with the letters of the alphabet ('a' to 'z') repeatedly.
Issue #2732
Originally, the timeout framework caused deadlocks when acquiring the same
lock from different timeout handlers. This use case is now tested in the
timeout test.
Fixes#2704
To handle all pending timeouts in the context of scheduling a timeout
was only necessary because the Timeout framework once made use of the
Alarm framework. The method Alarm_scheduler::schedule_absolute took an
absolute deadline as argument and we couldn't change this beause the
Alarm framework was also used without the Timeout framework. We had to
calculate this absolute deadline with the now time of the Timeout
framework but the Alarm framework has its own now time that is always a
bit behind the one of the Timeout framework. This lead to bad decisisons
when finding the right position for the new timeout. Now, we can call
schedule_absolute with a relative duration and thereby fix the problem.
When we schedule an absolute timeout without considering the small time
difference, the end-time for the timeout that is calculated using the
local time value is also smaller than the expected end-time. This can
also lead to directly triggering timeouts that should have triggered
with a certain delay.
As it is not trivial to update the local time value while scheduling a
timeout _without_ calling other timeout handlers, we simply raise the
duration of the new timeout by the age of the local time value.
Issue #2704
This fixes the problem that large timeouts, when rescheduled, are interpreted
to be from the last now_period instead of, what would be right, the next
now_period. This occured if there were multiple pending alarms at the head of
the queue and the reschedule of the first one was done with the other outdated
deadlines still in place.
Issue #2704
Instead of taking the absolute deadline of a timeout as argument from
outside (where it is calculated with a freshly requested now time), we
now take a relative duration as argument and calculate the deadline with
the scheduler-internal now time (which can be a little bit outdated).
This enables us to schedule timeouts without updating the internal now time
and thereby handle all pending timeouts.
Issue #2704
Integrate the code of the Alarm framework directly into the Timeout
framework. The former Alarm-framework methods are all private to the
corresponding classes of the Timeout framework and get prefixed with
'_alarm__'. The latter avoids name clashes and makes it easier to
simplify the code later.
Issue #2704
In the domain class there were several places where output was generated
not conforming to the typical output format of the router ("[domain]
event: parameters").
Issue #2670
When having an interface that yet is not attached to a domain, then a new
configuration comes in and the interface receives a domain name (via the
policy tag) but the corresponding domain doesn't exist, an exception
Domain_tree::No_match is thrown but was not caught and handled until now.
Issue #2670
This follows the guidelines in RFC 5508 to enable forwarding of ICMP
"Destination Unreachable" that correspond to an existing link state in
the NIC router. It also serves as blueprint for forwarding ICMP error
messages in general (They are merely not enabled because we don't test
them).
Issue #2732
By now, the 'verbose packets' output when sending packets was printed after
finish sending the packet. This makes following the packet flow harder if you
have multiple components that print such information.
Issue #2732
The mac_first attribute tells the MAC-address allocator of the router
from which MAC address to start allocating. This is useful, for
instance, if you have nested nic_routers. In this case, identical
MAC-allocator settings have led to name clashes in the past, so, you
want to be able to configure them differently.
Issue #2732
This follows the guidelines in RFC 5508 to enable ICMP echo through a NAPT
channel of the NIC router. It serves also as blueprint for ICMP queries in
general (they are merely not enabled because we don't test them by now).
Issue #2732
The 'verbose packets' output previously was not generated for Interfaces
without a domain. But this is desirable as the router nonetheless
receives packets at such interfaces. This is now fixed and such output
is simply prefixed with a "[?]" denoting that the interface has no
domain.
Issue #2732
We missed to zero-out the ECN field in IPv4 packets. We don't use the ECN
field but there might be old data left in the packet RAM allocated by the
NIC packet streams. If we don't zero-out ECN it might leak old data.
Issue #2732
Add a new 'Vfs_watch_handle' type to the VFS interface. This handle type
will pass a handle context up through the I/O handler to the application
when a notification event occurs.
Watch support implemented for RAM and File_system plugins, all other
file-systems return WATCH_ERR_STATIC by default.
Test at run/fs_rom_update_ram and run/fs_rom_update_fs.
Fix#1934
This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data
- Basic UTF-8 support
Since the change decouples the font format from the 'Text_painter' and
changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.
Fixes#2716
This file system is meant as a building block for pseudo file systems
that host a directory of several small files where each corresponds to
an attribute of the pseudo file system.
By letting the 'Dir_file_system' accept an arbitrary 'File_system'
as root directory, we can use the 'Dir_file_system' as a building
block for creating other file-system types.
This patch enables the use of the VFS from VFS plugins by passing a
reference of the root directory to the constructors of file-system
instances. Since it changes the signature of 'Vfs::Dir_file_system',
any code that uses the VFS directly requires an adaptation.
Fixes#2701
If the remote DNS server address value of a DHCP server changes, the affected
interfaces do a link down/up to inform all DHCP clients that they should
re-request their DHCP info.
Issue #2730
The dns_server_from attribute of the dhcp-server tag has effect only if
the dns_server attribute of the same tag is not set. If this is the
case, the dns_server_from attribute states the domain from whose IP
config to take the DNS server address. This is useful, for instance, if
the stated domain receives the address of a local DNS server via DHCP.
Whenever the IP config of the stated domain becomes invalid, the DHCP
server switches to a mode where it drops all requests unanswered until
the IP config becomes valid again.
Issue #2730
Until now, the DHCP server of a domain was re-constructed each time the
IP config changed. This is not necessary as a domain that acts as DHCP
server must have a static IP config as it would be senseless to act as
DHCP server and client at the same time. Now, a configured DHCP server
is constructed only when the Domain gets constructed and stays alive
until the domain gets destructed. Furthermore, we now throw Domain::Invalid
if there is no static IP config plus a DHCP server configured. However, by
now, this exception is not caught as it is not trivial to destruct the
domain at this point.
Issue #2730
The Interface constructor previously tried to attach to a domain. This
might include sending a DHCP request to get the domain a valid IP config.
But in order to achieve this, the constructor used a pure virtual method
of Interface which crashes due to the unfinished vtable. To fix this bug,
the attach attempt was moved to a new Interface::init method.
Issue #2730
Instead of Pointer<T>::set use assignment operator with implicit constructor
from T-reference. Instead of Pointer<T>::unset use assignment operator with
Pointer<T>(). Instead of Pointer<T>::deref provide () operator.
Issue #2730
The router reacts as follows to a configuration change:
1) Construct new internal configuration representation (the old one stays
in place to be able to do comparisons in the following steps)
2) Iterate through all user-dependent objects (interfaces, link states, ARP
information, DHCP information) and re-check which remain valid with the
new configuration and which must be dismissed.
3) Adapt the objects that remain valid to the new configuration (re-write
references) and remove or detach the dismissed objects.
4) Do a link state DOWN at each interface and a link state UP at each
interface that remains attached to a domain.
5) Replace the old internal configuration representation with the new one
This way, the router keeps as much user dependent states as possible
while going through a configuration change. Thus, overwriting the old
configuration with an exact copy of itself is (almost) transparent to
clients of the router. Almost, because there are things the router must
do on every configuration handling, like re-scheduling the expiration
timeouts of links.
Ref #2670
The for_each method of the List wrapper remembers the next list item
before calling the functor on the current one, so, the current one can
be destroyed during the functor.
Ref #2670
Clients can connect at any time to the NIC router. The interfaces (sessions)
get attached to the appropriate domain as soon as it appears. This implies
that interfaces can also be detached from a domain without beeing destructed
when the domain disappears. All user dependent states of an interface such as
the link states, DHCP allocations and ARP information get lost when the
interface gets detached.
Ref #2670
This separates the decision wether to log the received and sent packets
from the 'verbose' attribute. This information is now only logged if
'verbose_packets' is switched on. If 'verbose' is switched on, only
routing decisions and optional hints are printed.
Ref #2670
Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
