We implicitly know that the value range will not exceed access_t despite
the integer-based arithmetics, i.e., negation and shift operations.
Fixes#1524
Currently, libc_noux includes the 'base/src/base/env/platform_env.h' file
to be able to reinitialize the environment using the 'Platform_env'
interface. For base-linux, a special version of this file exists and the
inclusion of the generic version in libc_noux causes GCC 4.9 to make wrong
assumptions about the memory layout of the 'Env' object returned by
'Genode::env()'.
This commit moves the reinitialization functions to the 'Env' interface to
avoid the need to include the 'platform_env.h' file in libc_noux.
Fixes#1510
If a null-terminated string exactly of length MAX (0 byte included) is
provided, it will be handled as invalid because of wrong string size length
checks.
Commit fixes this.
Discovered during #1486 development.
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
* Instead of using local capabilities within core's context area implementation
for stack allocation/attachment, simply do both operations while stack gets
attached, thereby getting rid of the local capabilities in generic code
* In base-hw the UTCB of core's main thread gets mapped directly instead of
constructing a dataspace component out of it and hand over its local
capability
* Remove local capability implementation from all platforms except Linux
Ref #1443
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
The 'Thread_base' class is constructed differently in some special cases
like the main thread or a thread that use a distinct CPU session. The
official API, however, should be clean from such artifacts. Hence, I
separated the official constructor from the other cases.
The port uses the Cortex-A9 private timer for the kernel and an EPIT as
user timer. It was successfully tested on the Wandboard Quad and the CuBox-i
with the signal test. It lacks L2-cache and Trustzone support by now.

LLC, Russia). This work is partially based on their contributions.
Fix#1467
On base-hw/x86_64 the quota of the signal session is not sufficient due to
the large size of the Signal_session_component. Increasing the quota to
16K avoids signal-context resource exhaustion messages as emmitted by the
run/launcher scenario:
...
Quota exceeded! amount=4096, size=4096, consumed=4096
failed to allocate signal-context resources
upgrading quota donation for signal session
C++ runtime: Genode::Parent::Quota_exceeded
void* abort(): abort called
...
Note: This change increases the quota for all kernels even though it is
strictly only required for base-hw/x86_64.
* Enable the use of the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions, see Intel SDM
Vol. 3C, section 2.5.
* The state of the x87 floating point unit (FPU) is loaded and saved on
demand.
* Make the cr0 control register accessible in the Cpu class. This is in
preparation of the upcoming FPU management.
* Access to the FPU is disabled by setting the Task Switch flag in the cr0
register.
* Access to the FPU is enabled by clearing the Task Switch flag in the cr0
register.
* Implement FPU initialization
* Add is_fpu_enabled helper function
* Add pointer to CPU lazy state to CPU class
* Init FPU when finishing kernel initialization
* Add function to retry FPU instruction:
Similar to the ARM mechanism to retry undefined instructions, implement a
function for retrying an FPU instruction. If a floating-point instruction
causes an #NM exception due to the FPU being disabled, it can be retried
after the correct FPU state is restored, saving the current state and
enabling the FPU in the process.
* Disable FPU when switching to different user context:
This enables lazy save/restore of the FPU since trying to execute a
floating point instruction when the FPU is disabled will cause a #NM
exception.
* Declare constant for #NM exception
* Retry FPU instruction on #NM exception
* Assure alignment of FXSAVE area:
The FXSAVE area is 512-byte memory region that must be 16-byte aligned. As
it turns out the alignment attribute is not honored in all cases so add a
workaround to assure the alignment constraint is met by manually rounding
the start of the FXSAVE area to the next 16-byte boundary if necessary.
The new errcode field is used to store the error code that some
interrupts provide (e.g. #PF). Rework mode transition reserved space and
offset constants to match the new CPU_state layout.
The driver for the Freescale eSDHCv2 doesn't support the highest
available bus frequency by now and also the bus width may be set to a
higher value but that needs further checks on the capabilities of the
inserted card.
The commits provide a benchmark as it exists for the OMAP4 SDHC driver.
Fix#1458
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
The USB Armory is almost the same as the i.MX53-QSB but it uses only
one of the two RAM banks available in i.MX53. Furthermore we use the USB
Armory only with Trustzone enabled.
Ref #1422
* enables world-switch using ARM virtualization extensions
* split TrustZone and virtualization extensions hardly from platforms,
where it is not used
* extend 'Vm_session' interface to enable configuration of guest-physical memory
* introduce VM destruction syscall
* add virtual machine monitor for hw_arndale that emulates a simplified version
of ARM's Versatile Express Cortex A15 board for a Linux guest OS
Fixes#1405
* name irq controller memory mapped I/O regions consistently
in board descriptions
* move irq controller and timer memory mapped I/O region descriptions
from cpu class to board class
* eliminate artificial distinction between flavors of ARM's GIC
* factor cpu local initialization out of ARM's GIC interface description,
which is needed if the GIC is initialized differently e.g. for TrustZone

This patch changes the Shared_object::lookup function to use a
reinterpret_cast instead of a static_cast to allow the conversion
from symbol addresses to arbitrary pointers.
