The PWD variable contains the current working directory of the original
location where 'make -C' is executed, not the directory specified as
argument of '-C'. The tools referenced by ports/libports, however,
expect PWD to point to the root of the respective repository.
This patch splits the download of signatures from the download of the
archive to improve robustness. This way, signature files will be
downloaded even if the corresponding archive is already in place.
Issue #748
In fact, the sizes were the same the whole time, but by using
the same enum in both cases to instantiate the Packet_stream_tx
and Packet_stream_rx members of the e.g. RPC object, it allows
for more flexible generalization between e.g. source or, sink
objects, when programming event-driven, and implementing generic
handlers for their signals.
This patch makes the handling of failed integrity checks of 3rd-party
packages more robust. Previously, a once failed 'make prepare PKG=curl'
would not leave any trace of the verification state. Hence, a successive
attempt to perform the 'make prepare' step again succeeded even if the
signature check failed.
To solve this problem, the outcome of a successful signature check is
represented by a tag file called 'download/<archive-name>.verified'.
Because the rule for extracting the archive depends on the .verify tag
file, the extraction step is not performed until the signature check
succeeds.
Issue #748
This patch introduces a new platform 'linux_arm' for building and running
Genode/Linux on an ARM device.
Known limitations:
- libc 'setjmp()'/'longjmp()' doesn't currently save/restore floating
point registers
Fixes#746.
In issue #313 the SO_RCVBUF was intended to be enabled, however the current
lwip port looks for another define LWIP_SO_RCVBUF instead of LWIP_RCVBUF.
Fixes#716
lwIP only supports the 'AF_INET' domain, but doesn't check the 'domain'
argument of the 'lwip_socket()' function.
This patch avoids an error message from lwIP when the Arora browser
tries to connect a socket of the 'AF_LOCAL' domain.
Fixes#732.
With this patch, the 'libc_lwip_nic_dhcp' plugin provides the DNS server
address acquired by lwIP via DHCP in the file '/etc/resolv.conf'.
This feature can be disabled from the config file:
<libc resolv="no" />
The static network interface configuration attributes are now also a part
of the '<libc>' config node:
<libc ip_addr="..." netmask="..." gateway="..." />
Fixes#731.
Since checking if the certificate is valid is not that important
(we currently do not check the signature of the archive which is the
bigger issue) we disable the checking to prevent certain wget version
from refusing to download the archive.
Fixes#681
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.
Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:
- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
processes
Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.
Fixes#18
