The random file-system provides an arc4 based urandom implementation
which is needed for OpenSSL.
NOTE: the Arc4random class currently _does not collect enough_ random
bytes!
If during the file system iterations in the 'stat()', 'rename()' or
'mkdir()' funtions of the 'Dir_file_system' class any file system
returns an error code other than 'ERR_NO_ENTRY', return immediately.
Fixes#376.
These device are mandatory for most programs (well, at least null
is required to be present for a POSIX compliant OS, which Noux is
actually not). But for proper shell-script support we will need
them anyway.
This patch adds a new "terminal" file system type to Noux, which allows to
create a "character device" file that is connected to a Genode 'Terminal'
service.
The 'Terminal' session created by the file system has the label
"noux(terminal_fs)" to distinguish it from the 'Terminal' session
created by Noux itself.
Fixes#244.
This patch introduces support for stacked file systems alongside new
glue for accessing file-system implementations provided via Genode's
new file-system-session interface.
Using stacked file systems, an arbitrary number of file systems (such
as tar archives or file systems implemented as separate Genode
components) can be composed to form one merged virtual file system.
An example is given via the 'ports/run/noux_bash.run' script. This run
script creates a virtual file system out of multiple tar archives each
containing the content of a particular GNU package. In addition, one
'ram_fs' is mounted, which enables Noux to perform write operations.
This way, the shell output can be redirected to a file, or files can
be saved in VIM.
Fixes#103.
