Besides updating to a newer version the update adds the AC97 ICH driver
and addresses shortcomings with the OpenBSD emulation environment:
* Fix 'delay(9)' implementation - it now properly uses 'us' as unit,
which results on faster initialization of the drivers.
* Fix LOG output that got lost during commit f23579532 and bring over
the printf implementation from dde_linux for more structured
printing.
* As said the driver now recognizes the AUICH devices. So far it was
only tested with the device model in VirtualBox where it produces
stuttering audio, investigating the cause is still ongoing.
Fixes#3641.
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
Since QEMU might put the audio device at 00:03.0, also check if the
vendor is Intel. Hopefully we do not render HDA on real machines
useless with this changes (so far I have not encountered one).
Fixes#3263.
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
Also remove 'requires_installation_of', while also checking sbin
directories in 'have_installed'. The run scripts have been adjusted
accordingly.
Fixes#2853
