This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
Discovered while creating an ext2 file system on an sd_card (no
partitions, imx6), which failed with an error message that stated the
device is in use. Genode's libc/posix layer has no notion of mount
points.
Fixes#3271
This commit contains a patch of bash's built-in default escape sequences
to match the 'screen' terminal as used by Genode's terminal component.
Fixes#2705
The libc will now use the file given by the 'nameserver_file' attribute
to get the DNS nameserver address instead of reading '/etc/resolv.conf'.
It defaults to '/socket/nameserver' which is the common location when
using the lxip VFS plugin. As a constraint the libc will read the first
line and expects the nameserver address without any keywords in front of
it.
Fixes#2861.
The dependency was added as a supposed work-around of a dysfunctional
fork when building bash as depot archive. However, it turned out that
the actual problem was related to the timestamps of 3rd-party source
file, which were discarded by the recipes/src/bash/content.mk.
Remove getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo from the Libc::Plugin and get rid of
the extra libc_resolv library. Remove getaddrinfo/freeaddrinfo symbol
hiding patch for FreeBSD sources. Remove libc_resolv from Makefiles and
run scenarios.
Fix#2273
This patch is a workaround for the apparent problem that noux
applications, which perform execve, implicitly use functionality from
the dynamic linker, not explicitly via the libc. If the binary lacks the
dependency information, noux will fail on the execve attempt. The latter
is the case when the noux package is built as a depot archive where
library dependencies are not traversed over multiple levels.
lesskey and lessecho missed the declaration of ${LIBS} on the compiler
command line, which ended up in unusable programs.

The issue was identified because -O0 builds broke with

Unfortunately, this simple fix renders both tools also dependent to libm
and ncurses which they don't use.
This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.
To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
This patch makes the build-system integration of noux packages usable
for non-Noux targets. It moves the GNU build system wrapper to
ports/mk/gnu_build.mk, which is now included by noux.mk. This way,
non-noux applications can use the same build-system wrapper. So the
porting of individual applications becomes easier.
This change removes the 'NOUX_' prefix use the various build variables
used by the noux-pkg's target.mk files to steer the behaviour of the GNU
build system. E.g., NOUX_CONFIGURE_ARGS is now called CONFIGURE_ARGS.
Note that there is a single exception to this pattern: The formerly
named NOUX_LIBS is now called LDLIBS because the plain LIBS variable is
used by the Genode build system.
Fixes#2094
