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.
Issue #465
This patch enables the warnings -Wextra, -Weffc++, and -Werror for
compiling Genode components. It thereby helps us to detect bugs like
uninitialized member variables or missing virtual destructors at compile
time. The warning level is defined via the new 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT'
variable. For targets that compile 3rd-party code where this warning
level is not applicable, the variable may be explictly set to an empty
value in the corresponding build-description file.
Issue #465
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 warning "no interface connected to domain" was introduced when only one NIC
session at a time could be connected to a domain. It should help to track
packet drops that were caused by startup timing issues between servers and
clients. However, a user should watch the "NIC sessions" value of a domain
(verbose_domain_state) instead when debugging packet loss. With support for
multiple sessions per domain, even a non-empty domain may still miss the
session that connects the desired server.
Fix#2629
Stdin, stdout, and stderr are mapped to descriptors 0, 1, and 2
respectively. If these first three descriptors are not allocated before
the application becomes active then normal files and sockets can be
opened under these numbers, potentially causing unexpected application
behavior.
Fix#2628
This patch makes the creation of the libc's timer session depend on
whether or not the 'rtc' attribute of the <libc> configuration is
defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime' returns 0.
Fixes#2625
Previously, all packets that the router wanted to sent were first prepared to
their final state and then copied at once into the packet stream RAM. This is
fine for packets that the router only passes through with modifying merely
a few values. But for packets that the router writes from scratch on its own,
it is better to compose the packet directly in the packet stream RAM.
Fix#2626
Normally, Interface::send always takes the base and size of the RAM region
where a packet was composed and copies this finished packet at once into the
packet stream RAM. But we want to be able to also compose packets directly in
the packet stream RAM, so that no memcpy is needed. Thus, Interface::send now
takes a functor that describes how to compose the packet, then allocates the
packet stream RAM and applies the functor to this RAM. there is also a version
of Interface::send that provides the old behavior but with the new back end.
This way, we stay backwards-compatible.
Issue #2626
Apply the approach to join the argument list 'args' to pass a single
list argument to _collect_from_depot. Actually, this story teaches me to
shy away from {*} because of its special semantics, which are
{*} makes each item in a list an individual argument of the current
command (https://wiki.tcl.tk/17158)
This is a direct follow up to "run: let import_from_depot accept list
variables", which broke calling import_from_depot with a number of
individual arguments.
Issue #2619
When composing an ARP packet for sending, it's pointless to use the Arp_packet
constructor as the constructor only checks whether the packet is malformed.
Issue #2618
When doing something like this in a run script ...
lappend arg X
lappend arg Y
lappend arg Z
import_from_depot arg
... the internals of import_from_depot do not treat $arg as list but as one
string and interprets it as malformed depot path. We can handle this by
applying {*} to $arg inside the procedure.
Issue #2619
The NIC router can now be configured to periodically send reports.
Configuration example (shows default values):
<config>
<report interval_sec="5" bytes="yes" config="yes">
</config>
If the 'report' tag is not available, no reports are send.
The attributes of the 'report' tag:
'bytes' : Boolean : Whether to report sent bytes and received bytes per
domain
'config' : Boolean : Whether to report ipv4 interface and gateway per
domain
'interval_sec' : 1..3600 : Interval of sending reports in seconds
Issue #2614
Avoid that the user has to define the number of HTTP/UDP clients manually.
This count is used by the run scripts to generate the expected log output.
Fix#2609
In the context of link state objects we often used the term "close" were we
actually meant "dissolve". The term "close" originated from the TCP connection
state and is still used in TCP links in the correct manner.
Issue #2609
Act as hub for the interfaces at a domain. This also changes the roles of the
Domain and Interface classes. By now the Interface held the data structures for
the ARP cache, foreign ARP waiters, and the searchtrees for layer 3 links. All
these structures have moved to the Domain while the memory allocations and
lifetime management for the contents of these structures still come from from
the according Interface object. The mentioned data structures were also adapted
to fit the fact that they now may maintain objects of different interfaces.
Issue #2609
If an IPv4 packet targets an IP local to the domain it comes from and doesn't
target the routers IP of that domain, forward it to all other interfaces of
the domain without considering any other routing.
Issue #2609
Previously, the function that returned the XML config for a network test
client/server in the scripts formed the component name of the peer solely
by combining the protocol name, "client" or "server", and a suffix that
is given as argument. However, to group multiple clients together in one
domain via their session label at the NIC router we want peers with the same
name prefix. Thus, the function now simply takes the whole name as argument.
Issue #2609
Improve ARP handling code in general:
Make the several cases and their handling more clear by using a more
readable if/else statement structure. Drop gratuitous ARP requests.
Domain-local ARP:
Handle ARP packets that target local IPs other than the routers IP
(forward them to all other interfaces of the domain).
Issue #2609
IP allocations were renamed DHCP allocations without fixing the according
places in log messages and comments. This commit rectifies this omission.
Issue #2609
This is necessary because in contrast to the zynq boards (see specs in genode-world), only zynq_qemu uses UART_0.
These files should thus fall under the zynq_qemu spec.
Fixes#2615
In newer glibc versions, the '__sigword' and '__sigmask' macros are only
available in sigsetops.h which is not installed. These macros are not
system-specific, hence we implement them explicitly ourselves.
Fixes#2616
