* ipcpd: Use the term "layer" and deprecate "shim"Dimitri Staessens2017-12-193-65/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the terminology to use layer instead of DIF and deprecate the word "shim" for the IPCPs that attach to Ethernet LLC and UDP .The terminology has not yet been changed in the variable names etc. This reflects the design choices in Ouroboros to make IPCPs pure resource allocators instead of also providing an "IPC service". The Ouroboros IPCPs that attach to Ethernet and UDP implement the allocator and are thus not really shims.

* ipcpd: Integrate raptor into ouroboros 0.8Dimitri Staessens2017-12-151-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | The raptor code is refactored to completely remove reduntant code relating to addresses. The dependency on the google protocol buffers is removed. The build system will only build raptor if the relevant kernel module is found on the system. The irm tool and the relevant documentation are updated.

* lib, tools: Rename application process and instanceDimitri Staessens2017-12-024-33/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ipcpd: Don't bind from the IPCPDimitri Staessens2017-11-291-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The binding of the normal IPCP to its name is moved from the source code to the irm tool introducing the "autobind" option for the bootstrap and enroll commands. With this option, the IPCP will be bound to the IPCP name and the DIF name automatically.

* dev: Split nonblocking read and writeDimitri Staessens2017-10-301-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | The FLOWFNONBLOCK flag now has two subflags FLOWFRNOBLOCK and FLOWFWNOBLOCK which allows setting the behavior of read and write independently. The default behavior is unchanged (blocking read and write). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri.staessens@ugent.be> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander.vrijders@ugent.be>

* doc: Add general documentationdimitri staessens2017-10-1711-27/+645
| | | | | | | | | This adds user documentation for the Ouroboros User Manual in man sections 7 and 8. It consists of a general man page, a tutorial and a glossary. It also fixes and updates other manpages in the Ouroboros Programmer's Manual.
* lib: Deprecate ouroboros_init and ourboros_finidimitri staessens2017-10-148-79/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* doc: man: Update fccntl manpageSander Vrijders2017-09-191-0/+2
| | | | | The option to mark a flow as down was missing from the manpage of fccntl.
* ipcpd, lib: Add flow down eventsSander Vrijders2017-09-191-0/+3
| | | | | | | | This adds the flow down event to Ouroboros. In the shim-eth-llc, a netlink socket is opened which listens to device up/down events. For each event the flow is then adjusted with fccntl to notify the user the flow is down or back up again. In the normal IPCP an event is thrown if a write reports that the flow is down.
* lib: Add fccntl configuration commanddimitri staessens2017-08-313-2/+120
| | | | | | | This replaces the flow_set_* commands with a single fccntl command that can configure flows and the FRCT instance. For more details, see "man 3 fccntl".

* build: Revise the build systemdimitri staessens2017-08-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* doc: Add man pages for flow_allocationdimitri staessens2017-04-103-0/+118
| | | | | | | This commit contains only the sources, correct installation requires gzip and copying the files to /usr/local/man/man3/flow_alloc.3.gz. We need to have a look at integrating this in the build system in an efficient way.
