By allocating the packet-stream dataspace for block sessions as
uncached, we can use DMA to directly read and write into the client
buffer. Currently, the OMAP4 SD-card driver is using this feature.
With this patch, the driver code gets complemented with DMA support.
The support for master DMA, in turn, cleared the way for using
interrupts to wait for the completion of transfers, which largely
relieves the CPU compared to the polling PIO mode. Consequently, the new
version has a much lower CPU footprint.
In the current version, both modes of operation PIO and DMA are
functional. However, PIO mode is retained for benchmarking purposes only
and will possibly be removed to keep the driver simple. It is disabled
in the driver's 'main.cc'.
This patch replaces the jiffies thread in 'sd_card/omap4/bench' calls to
'Timer::Session::elapsed_ms()'. This way, we use wall-clock time for the
measurements. Depending on the load of the rest of the system, the
previous version used to accumulate the inaccuracy for each 'msleep'
call.
For 64-bit registers we cannot compute MASK and SHIFT values via enums
because enum values are always of type int. But we can use static member
functions instead. Furthermore, the patch fixes the type trait for
64-bit registers. (apparently, this access width was never used so far)
The enable the use of 'Attached_ram_dataspace' objects as DMA buffers,
we need to pass the 'cached' flag to the constructor. By default, the
dataspace is cached, which corresponds to the original behaviour.
The Demo of 64bit Genode/NOVA fails during the booting phase when
physical memory was tried to be mapped lying above 4G boundary.
(qemu -m 4096 triggered it on some systems). The memory never got
mapped and the attempt to access the virtual region resulted
in a unexpected page fault inside Genode core.
The latest revision removed the artificial boundary of 4G for 64bit.

sgr0 is currently implemented as a wrapper of sgr(0) which
seems to work fine.
For now we accept but ignore certain sgr sequences like for
example [0;10;1m which is generated by lynx even when using
TERM=linux (I am not sure yet if that's actually valid at all).
Our FreeBSD libc based libc defines SOL_SOCKET as 0xffff. We change
lwip's definition from 0xfff to match ours. This prevents us from
converting the level when we call {g,s}etsockopt.
Fixes#292.
libcrypto provides certain optimized assembler functions which
unfortunatly are non-pic. Therefore this asm code is removed
and libcrypto is build with -DOPENSSL_NO_ASM.
Because the asm code is not needed anymore, its generation is
also removed from openssl.mk.
import-libssl.mk was also added because it is essential for building
programs which depend on libssl.
Fixes#291.
Fixes#294.
When opening a new file, a new Fs_vfs_handle is created but with the
initial mode set to 0 which is not expected by functions like fdopen()
that check if the original flags given to the open() call match the
returned ones on the used fd.
Fixes#289.
Though the initial commit contains nicer looking color definitions
it is easier to spot wrong colors when using a program that uses
ncurses like for example lynx.
Fixes#284.
Added support for more than one UHCI controller. Make sure the 'PIRQ' bit in the
legacy support register (PCI config space) of the UHCI controller is enabled and
also that the 'Trap on IRQ' bit is disabled. Fix offset bug in PCI-config space
emulation for Linux.
Fixes#282
The code intended to stop after the first failed attempt,
however the bool variable to control this was reseted
inside the loop and so it endless loops.
Fixes#51
If a thread has been deleted the thread object at the cpu_session was never
freed which caused the cpu_session quota to be exhausted as reported in
issue #150.

Be bit more robust.
* Don't use addresses and sizes larger than
32 bit address boundaries.
* Don't take modules of size 0, at address 0 and if aux is 0.

With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link
terminal and allows interactive source-level debugging of the GDB monitor
test application on Genode.

This patch implements the 'readv()' function in the libc.
A lock guard prevents the parallel execution of either or both of the
'readv()' and 'writev()' functions.

The line-status register has two relevant status bits - transmitter-hold
register empty and data-hold register empty - from which only the THR is

Setting the handler for SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN (ignore) informs the kernel
not to enter the zombie state: (man 2 wait)
POSIX.1-2001 specifies that if the disposition of SIGCHLD is set to
SIG_IGN or the SA_NOCLDWAIT flag is set for SIGCHLD (see
sigaction(2)), then children that terminate do not become zombies

This patch sets the default document type in the "File save" dialog to
HTML and makes both the "File open" and "File save" dialogs enter the "/"
directory by default.
Fixes#274.
