Executing the system call will change the input fds as a side-effect
because the select_in.fds and select_out.fds structure are part of a
union. Since the original select_in.fds content is needed afterwards
make a copy instead of using a reference.
Fixes#1809.
The main thread's UTCB, used during bootstrap of the main thread before
it allocates its context area, needs to be outside the virtual memory
area controlled by the RM session, because it is needed before the main
thread can access its RM session.
Fix#1804
This patch adds diagnostic messages during the label-policy application,
if no policy for the session label was found or if the domain configured
in the policy node does not exist.
When unblocking a thread in Semaphore::up() while holding the fifo meta-data
lock, it might happen that the lock holder gets destroyed by the one it was
unblocking. This happened for instance in the pthread test in the past, where
thread destruction was synchronized via a semaphore. There is no need to hold
the lock during the unblock operation, so we should do it outside the critical
section.
Fix#1333
Previously we used a pretty slow external clock source for the timer. This
resulted in such a low TICS_PER_MS value that the granularity wasn't
sufficient to find a setup with a precision better than 1 second error per
minute. Now we use the so-called High Frequency Reference Clock as input
with TICS_PER_MS=33333 and the timer precision is significantly < 1 second per
minute.
Fixes#1805
From our observations we can tell that the error should not exceed 4%.
However, there is no reasonable explanation by now why the test results
are less stable on these platforms. We have tried several things that
did not lead to an explanation or improvement:
* changing the timing parameters of the scheduler
* switching off SMP
* double-checking the speed of userland and kernel timers
Ref #1805
The test threads previously used a stack size independent from the machine
word width. Qemu was previously configured to provide 64Mb of RAM which isn't
sufficient for x86_64.

Upgrading the quota of a PD session on HW always triggers a "Quota
exceeded" warning. To prevent unecessary debugging effort in the future,
we explain in an in-code comment that the warning is normal.

Print result error and error tolerance per test result. Use TCL commands
'format' and 'abs'to simplify calculations in the conclusion part of the run
script.
Ref #1805
When capabilities are delegated to components, they are added to the UTCB of the
target thread. Before the thread is able to take out the capability id out of
the UTCB and adapt the user-level capability reference counter, it might happen
that another thread of the same component deletes the same capability because
its user-level reference counter reached zero. If the kernel then destroys the
capability, before the same capability id is taken out of all UTCBs, an
inconsitent view in the component is the result. To keep an consistent view in
the multi-threading scenario, the kernel now counts how often it puts a
capability into a UTCB. The threads on the other hand hint the kernel when they
took capabilities out of the UTCB, so the kernel can decrement the counter
again. Only when the counter is zero, capabilities can get destructed.
Fix#1623
On Linux the linker can now be loaded at arbitrary addresses, this became
necessary for newer kernel versions. The 'linux_arm' target is not supported.
Issue #1728
Former Native_config::context_area_virtual_base() was used to identify
the main, which is not desired as the Native_config is rather low-level
(almost private to the base libs). The commit uses a library constructor
to retrieve the main-thread Thread_base pointer, which can be used later
to distinguish main and other threads.
Likewise on the x86 branch, we have to remove all virtual memory ranges from the
virtual memory allocator that are used by one-by-one mappings of I/O regions
used by the kernel.
Fix#1797
If the injection of an event causes an EPT violation, the event must be
injected again. This commit implements the reinjection for the case that
the EPT violation can be resolved without involving the recompiler.
Fixes#1798
This reverts commit d8b95c263b.
Some clients might want to fiddle with the clients play position
(e.g. the mixer) within 'Audio_out::start()' and we might reset
it to an old value if we do it afterwards.
Fixes#1796.
Since all Audio_out server components loop over the packet stream
queue it is save to reset the tail position to one after the play
position. We have to do this because we do not know exactly when
the play position changes (i.e. the driver has processed the packet)
and we might end up with a tail position before the current play
position.
Issue #1796.
* Also change the way how mute is handled. Only send the
changed signal if the user has clicked on the mute checkbox
* Always check channels_rom is valid
* Add <default> handling
* Increase verbosity
Fixes#1795.
Instead of bailing out if the channel list is incorrect check config
node attributes and default settings first.
Being there also fix flawed LOG messages.
Fixes#1794.
* enable i915 driver from Linux 3.14.5
* tested for generation 5 till 8 GPUs
The driver can be configured at run-time via the config ROM. Every
connector of the graphic card can be configured separately using the
following syntax
<config>
<connector name="LVDS-11" width="1280" height="800" enabled="true"/>
</config>
Also, when enabled within the intel framebuffer driver configuration like
the following
<config buffered="yes"/>
a simple ram dataspace is propagated to the client and the driver
itselfs copies from that buffer to the framebuffer triggered via refresh
calls. This option is useful to alleviate tearing effects.
The driver distributes all available connectors of the graphic card and
their supported resolutions via a report. It looks like follows
<connectors>
<connector name="LVDS-11" connected="1">
<mode width="1280" height="800" hz="60"/>
...
</connector>
...
</connectors>
The driver distributes the report only if this is stated within its
configuration, like the following
<config>
<report connectors="yes"/>
</config>
