The zynq nic_drv also depends on hw, we therefore adapted the folder
structure for clarity. Also renamed the binary to 'zynq_nic_drv' to
prevent conflicts and to allow removing the cadence_gem spec.
Issue #3179
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.
Issue #1987
Make the size of the packet buffer at the VFS File_system client
configurable. This allows larger reads to be completed in a single
packet cycle.
Example: <vfs> <fs buffer_size="512K"/> </vfs>
Fix#3167
1) A session request gets denied if there is no matching session policy.
(The <defaul-policy/> tag can be used for the former default behavior)
2) A session request gets denied if the MAC address is given through the
matching policy but this address cannot be allocated.
3) A session request gets denied if the MAC address is not given through the
matching policy and it is also not possible to allocate one.
Issue #3040
This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.
The most prominent changes are:
- Removing the use of base/printf.h
- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
'Connection' classes.
- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
come to an end now.
- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.
- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.
- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.
Issue #1987
The notion of a RAM session does not exist anymore. Hence, we have to
adjust the name of 'init_env_ram_session'. Since this change modifies
the ABI, it comes as separate commit.
Issue #2407
- support to create multiple vCPUs
- support to implement Vm_session methods client side within base library
- adjust muen specific virtualbox4 version to compile/link
Issue #3111
Move the allocation of the session packet buffer into a subclass that is
constructed before the File_system RPC object. This allows the buffer
allocation to be wrapped in a constructor/destructor class and clearly
accounted for.
Fix#3134
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
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
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.

Change the root of a session request into an explicit path and apply the
label-to-path conversion using the "path_prefix" policy attribute. This
is in addition to only applying a root change with a "path" attribute.
