A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
The size of empty structs differs in C (0 byte) and C++ (1 byte), which
leads to different offsets in compound structures. This fixes the driver
on 32Bit platforms.
Issue #1439.
The wireless stack calls timer_before(foo, timer.expires) and up to now
it was always 0. Let's be save and set this field when scheduling the
timer, although it worked fine so far.
Issue #1439.
We will always see this error message when the driver is started. It
is expected and not an actual error. When the driver is running it will
not allocate larger chunks than the Slab provides. Therefore, we can
safely ignore this message.
Issue #1439.
Among others, this function is used in the for_each_set_big() macro,
which is used when configuring the data rate tables. Therefore, this
fixes observed performance issues.
Fixes#1439.
With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,
some scripts still try to use it because only frequently used scripts were
updated by now. The commit replaces the function calls with the new
'have_include power_on/qemu' check.
Ref #1419
The wifi_drv now provides two reports. The first one contains all
accesspoints that were found while scanning the supported frequencies.
The second one reports the state of the driver, i.e., if it is
conntected to an accesspoint or not. In addition to that, the driver
now gets its configuration via a ROM session.
More detailed information are available in 'repos/dde_linux/README'.
Issue #1415.
Up until now 'schedule_timeout' did only wait for the next signal to occur.
However, we might run into situations where there won't occur signals for longer
periods of time. Therefore, we took care of the respective timeout handling.
This commit also adds Genode's tracing support
Issue #1310
This has been broken for a while now. Use correct (global) signal transmission,
do not use local signal transmission, as signals seems to get lost.
Issue #1310
- essential support for 7260 chipset and DMA fixes
- assign mvm->pm_ops at beginning of function iwl_op_mode_mvm_start.
iwl_mvm_mac_setup_register() uses mvm->pm_ops, but it is called
before this field is set to a valid value.
- disable call to function iwl_mvm_prepare_multicast.
This function leads to a pagefault, as it aspects a list of multicast
addresses, but the list is empty as it is not generated by this port.
The context of timer are now inserted correctly and the actual timer
triggering the exection of each context is always programmed if the
head of the timer list changes.
Fixes#1326.
The jiffies are only updated on each round of scheduling the runnable
tasks. We have to schedule the current task that executes the sleep
call to update the jiffies count and thereby preventing the task from
entering an endless loop when using a statement like
'while (!time_after(jiffies, now + timeout)) { msleep(1); }'.

Instead of probing all device on the PCI bus just look for devices
matching PCI_CLASS_NETWORK_OTHER. This fixes issues with other devices
on the PCI bus, e.g. the GPU, when access their extended config space.

Ported drivers list and extract all needed source files. This decouples
ports according to contrib sources and also enables us to revert lxip to
Linux version 3.9, while staying with 3.14 for usb.
Fixes#1285
The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
