lib, tools: Rename application process and instance

2017-12-02T13:56:20+00:00

This refactors ouroboros to use "program" instead of "application process" and "process" instead of "application process instance" to align with current naming in current Operating Systems courses instead of the ISO nomenclature adopted by RINA. This change permeates through the entire implementation. Also contains some minor other refactors. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Deprecate ouroboros_init and ourboros_fini

2017-10-14T11:19:10+00:00

This commit deprecates ouroboros_init and ouroboros_fini and adds them as a constructor or destructor, causing these function to be run automatically when a program that links to the library calls and exits main(). For this to fully work, the library had to be split so that we can avoid the irmd calling these functions (the IRMd has to create the shm structures on which these calls depend). The library is split in 3 parts: libouroboros-dev, libouroboros-irm and libouroboros-common. The latter is linked to the other two so that including libouroboros-dev or libouroboros-irm will also link libouroboros-common.

ipcpd: Add threadpool manager to DHT

2017-09-24T12:34:03+00:00

This adds a threadpool manager to the DHT. This was needed because the detached thread could cause a data race on shutdown. The threadpool manager is revised to allow multiple instances in a single program. The irmd and ipcp now store commands in a buffer (list) instead of a single buffer before passing it to handler threads.

tools: Add tool to connect IPCP components

2017-08-28T18:49:34+00:00

This enables user-written tools to instruct IPCPs to establish and tear down connections (a.k.a. adjacencies) between its internal components (Management and Data Transfer). For more info, do "irm ipcp connect" or "irm ipcp disconnect" on the command line. This commit exposes a deletion bug in the RIB where FSO's fail to unpack/parse. This will be fixed when the RIB is deprecated.

build: Revise the build system

2017-08-21T08:25:19+00:00

This revises the build system to have configuration per system component. System settings can now be set using cmake. The standard compliance defines were removed from configuration header and are set in the sources where needed. Also some small code refactors, such as moving the data for shims out of the ipcp structure to the respective shims were performed.

irmd, ipcpd: Signal acceptor only

2017-08-16T10:11:21+00:00

This adds an extra condvar so the mainloops can signal the acceptor thread without waking up all mainloops.

irmd, ipcpd: Listen on a dedicated accept() thread

2017-08-16T06:18:03+00:00

The IRMd and IPCPs will now call accept on their command sockets from a single thread that will dispatch work to the other threads. This solves a problem on OS X and FreeBSD where accept() doesn't time out when setting SO_RCVTIMEO on the socket. Calling kqueue or select() on that socket to wait for events before calling accept() didn't solve it since select() or kqueue() might wake up multiple threads, with the non-working threads again blocked on the accept() on shutdown.

build: Replace fsf snail mail with contact URL

lib: Add threadpool manager

2017-07-26T08:39:51+00:00

This adds a threadpool manager component in the library that is used in the IRMd and IPCPs. The threadpool manager now doesn't detach threads but does a join when they exit. This solves a data race in the previous implementation where some threads were not completely finished upon release of some resources.
