By specifying <libc update_mtime="no"...>, the modification-time update
on VFS-sync operations (as issued whenever a written file is closed)
can explicitly be disabled.
Issue #1784
This patch complements the commit "libc: execve" with the ability to
execute files stored at arbitrary sub directories of the file system.
Issue #3481
Issue #3500
This patch replaces the naive dup2 implementation (that merely
duplicated the context pointer) by the replication of the original
FD state by re-opening the same file with the same flags and seek
position. This prevents a potential double release of the VFS handle
(the FD context). It also implements 'dup'.

- Eliminate call of global libc_config()
- Remove dynamic memory allocation, const cast
- Prepare for moving the state from compilation unit to header
- Fix run/libc_getpwent.run
Issue #3497
This patch unifies the patterns of using the 'Genode' and 'Libc'
namespaces.
Types defined in the 'internal/' headers reside in the 'Libc'
namespace. The code in the headers does not need to use the
'Libc::' prefix.
Compilation units import the 'Libc' namespace after the definition of
local types. Local types reside in the 'Libc' namespace (and should
eventually move to an 'internal/' header).
Since the 'Libc' namespace imports the 'Genode' namespace, there is
no need to use the 'Genode::' prefix. Consequently, code in the
compilation units rarely need to qualify the 'Genode' or 'Libc'
namespaces.
There are a few cases where the 'Libc', the 'Genode', and the global
(libc) namespaces are ambigious. In these cases, an explicit
clarification is needed:
- 'Genode::Allocator' differs from 'Libc::Allocator'.
- 'Genode::Env' differs from 'Libc::Env'.
- Genode's string functions (strcmp, memcpy, strcpy) conflict
with the names of the (global) libc functions.
- There exist both 'Genode::uint64_t' and the libc'c 'uint64_t'.
Issue #3497
This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.
The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.
The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.
There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.
Issue #3497
- readv_writev: move 'rw_lock' instance into a function scope,
constructing the instance on the first access.
- select: move 'select_cb_list' instance into function scope.
- thread: move 'key_list_lock' and 'keys' into function scope.
- rwlock, semaphore, socket_fs_plugin, thread, thread_create:
instantiate 'Libc::Allocator' per use, alleviating the need for a
global instance.
Issue #3496
Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket
control files at the VFS. Add an "address" and "netmask" file to the
lwIP plugin.
Only a single IPv4 address is initially supported, and the broadcast
address returned will never be valid.
Fixes#3439
This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc.
The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the
loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc -
intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc
internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a
heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g.,
libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to
any memory object allocated from the malloc heap.
Issue #3481
The libc already supports the configuration of 'stdin', 'stdout', and
'stderr' using '<libc>' config attributes. This patch equips the libc
with the additional ability to pre-initialize any other file descriptor.
A file descriptor is configured as follows:
<config>
...
<libc ...>
<fd id="3" path="/dev/log" writeable="yes" readable="no" seek="10"/>
...
</libc>
</config>
Furthermore, this patch moves the FD initialization code from the VFS
plugin to the libc kernel initialization because opening the FDs
depends on 'malloc' ('strdup'), which should not be used at early
'Libc::Kernel' initialization time.
Issue #3478
This patch replaces the former use of an Allocator_avl with the Id_space
utility, which is safer to use and allows for the iteration of all
elements. The iteration over open file descriptors is needed for
implementing 'fork'.
Issue #3478
By using Genode::strncpy instead of the libc's strncpy, we cannot end up
in the situation where the result lacks the zero termination (where the
number of charactors equals the destination buffer size).

Issue #3450
This mode is used on Linux (if acpi=strict is not set on boot cmdline)
and Windows. The mode ignores certain errors and/or bad AML constructs.
1) Allow "implicit return" of last value in a control method
2) Allow access beyond the end of an operation region
3) Allow access to uninitialized locals/args (auto-init to integer 0)
4) Allow ANY object type to be a source operand for the Store() operator
5) Allow unresolved references (invalid target name) in package objects
6) Enable warning messages for behavior that is not ACPI spec compliant
- make port able to be prepared repeatedly
Rpcgen refuses to overwrite an already existing header, so try to
always remove it beforehand
- get rid of 'cp' warning 'cp: warning: source file
'src/lib/libc/sys/sys/time.h' specified more than once'
- silence patch message 'patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line'
Fixes#3420.
Move the _vfs_sync implementation from vfs_plugin.h to vfs_plugin.cc and
wrap all VFS access in the VFS_THREAD_SAFE macro.
Syncing must be made thread safe because it often happens when closing
files and may require suspending the current thread for I/O signal
dispatching.
Ref #3409
* isatty
For the moment it is not possible to determine if the fd belongs to a
tty. For whatever reasons, the check is done multiple times, e.g.
'tclsh', which will spam the LOG.
* sysctl(HW_FLOATINGPT)
FPU is enabled on all our platforms, so return true.
Fixes#3389.
This removes implementations of and also references to anonymous new and
delete operators from the libc implementation. As allocators for
new/delete Libc::Allocator instances are used, which (paradoxically) map
to libc malloc/free.
