Replace _map_local and _unmap_local in the I/O mem session component
by _acquire and _release. The _acquire and _release must be implemented
per base-<kernel>.
The commit is a preparation commit for seL4, so that it can implement
_acquire differently in a subsequent commit to solve #5597 actually.
Issue #5597
The '_create_session' method returns now a 'Create_result' instead
of a pointer. This result can either be a reference to the new
session object or an 'Create_error' code.
The '_upgrade_session' and '_destroy_session' method now take a
reference instead of a pointer as argument.
Fixes#5562
- Introduce common Buffer_error type.
- Enforce the handling of buffer-exceeded errors.
- Unify interface of Reporter and Expanding_reporter,
using Byte_range_ptr instead of basic types.
- Simplify the Xml_generator API by providing the plain
class function Xml_generator::generate.
- Use Expanding_reporter where appropriate.
Fixes#5561
Replace try/catch/throw by guard objects.
In panic situations, print an error and sleep forever.
Infinitely block invalid IPC calls.
Weasel out of cap ref count overflows by clamping count to max.
Accept ID-space ambiguities but be verbose about it.
Skip Duration::add when detecting an integer overflow.
Issue #5245
Replace use of deallocate=false by keeping the IRQ number as guard
object. Don't throw 'Service_denied'. Remove superfluous debug messages.
Issue #5502
Issue #5251
The new 'Local_rm' type offers a narrow interface for the interaction
with the component-local address space, managing the lifetime of
attachments by using the 'Allocation' API.
Fixes#5516
This catches bugs early on. E.g., when leaving an 'Allocation'
unused, it gets immediately deallocated, which is most probably not
intended. For regular 'Attempt' objects, this change encourages
the proper propagation of errors, or at least the logging of unexpected
conditions.
Fixes#5513
This patch converts the memory-allocator interfaces ('Allocator',
'Range_allocator') and their implementations ('Heap', 'Sliced heap',
'Slab', 'Allocator_avl', 'Synced_allocator') to the new 'Allocation'
utility. The new interface resides at base/memory.h whereas the
traditional allocators implement the new interface.
Down the road, the traditional allocators can successively be decoupled
from the traditional 'Allocator' and 'Range_allocator' interfaces.
Issue #5502
Issue #5245
After constructed, a 'Thread' object may remain in a dysfunctional state
should the stack allocation have failed. This condition is no longer
reflected as a C++ exception but as result value of 'Thread::info()'.
Keep 'Thread::name' as public constant because the stack is not always
available for storing the name.
The 'stack_top' accessor has been removed because this information is
already provided by 'Thread::info()'.
Issue #5245
With planned removal of Thread:: exceptions, we need to consider that a
'Thread' object may exist without a valid 'Stack' and therefore without
a valid 'Native_thread', which is hosted as part of the 'Stack'.
This patch reworks the code that accesses the 'Native_thread' to use the
new 'Thread::with_native_thread' interface. Within the local scope,
the native thread is referred to as 'nt'.
The _init_platform_thread and _deinit_platform_thread() have been
replaced by _init_native_thread and _deinit_native_thread, which take
a 'Stack &' as argument.
As a safety caution, 'Native_thread' objects can no longer be copied.
Issue #5245
Replace the use of the global 'core_env()' accessor by the explicit
delegation of interfaces.
- For allocating UTCBs in base-hw, 'Platform_thread' requires
a way to allocate dataspaces ('Ram_allocator') accounted to the
corresponding CPU session, a way to locally map the allocated
dataspaces (core's 'Region_map'), and a way to determine the
physical address (via 'Rpc_entrypoint') used for the initial
UTCB mapping of main threads. Hence those interfaces must be
passed to 'Platform_thread'.
- NOVA's pager code needs to look up 'Cpu_thread_component'
objects using a map item as key. The lookup requires the
'Rpc_entrypoint' that hold the 'Cpu_thread_component' objects.
To make this 'Rpc_entrypoint' available, this patch adds
the 'init_page_fault_handing' function.
- The 'Region_map_mmap' for Linux requires a way to look up
'Linux_dataspace' objects for given dataspace capabilities.
This lookup requires the 'Rpc_entrypoint' holding the dataspaces,
which is now passed to 'platform.cc' via the new Linux-specific
'Core_region_map::init' function.
Issue #5408
This patch tightens the coupling of the 'Platform_thread' objects
with their corresponding 'Platform_pd' objects by specifying the
'Platform_pd' as constructor argument, keeping the relationship
as a reference (instead of a pointer), and constraining the
lifetime of 'Platform_pd' objects to the lifetime of the PD.
It thereby clears the way to simplify the thread creation since all
PD-related information (like quota budgets) are now known at the
construction time of the 'Platform_thread'.
The return value of 'Platform_thread::start' has been removed because it
is not evaluated by 'Cpu_thread_component'.
Related to #5256
The 'Thread_creation_failed' error is now reflected as
'Thread::Start_result' return value. This change also removes the
use of 'Invalid_thread' within core as this exception is an alias
of Cpu_session::Thread_creation_failed.
Issue #5245
This patch removes the exception formerly thrown by 'Cpu_thread::state'
and turns the 'Thread_state' structure into a plain compound type w/o a
constructor.
Issue #5245Fixes#5250
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.
