This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output
directly via a low-level kernel mechanism, if available.
On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.
Fixes#2012
This is a follow-up commit to "slab: throw exception if initial
allocation fails". It is needed because on seL4, the PD session quota is
used as backing store for the meta data of the PD's virtual memory. For
this reason, PD sessions on seL4 require more session quota compared to
the other kernels. Apparently, the default quota is too scarce to
complete the PD-session construction. By shrinking the number of
supported page-table entries, we reduce the size of the PD session
component so that the creation succeeds.
Issue #1983
Replace 'attribute(...).has_value("yes")`
with 'attribute_value(..., false)'.
This allows for boolean configuration to be set with values such as
"true", "false", "yes", "no", or "1", "0".
Fixes#2002
A configuration policy must match against a policy node label,
label_prefix, or label_suffix atttribute. A fallback to
<default-policy/> is provided as a label wildcard.
Fixes#1901
The sinfo function declared in sinfo_instance.h creates a static sinfo
object instance and returns a pointer to the caller.
- kernel timer and platform support to use sinfo() function to
instantiate sinfo object
- address and size of the base-hw RAM region via the sinfo API
- log_status() function in sinfo API
To circumvent problems on platforms with shaky hotplug interrupt notification
introduce a "poll" configuration option to the driver, which enables
polling for connector changes.
Fix#2004
The whole XML comment has to be parsed as one XML tag to support strange
but valid combinations like
<!---->
<!--invisible-tag></invisible-tag-->
Fixes#1424
The vanilla 'schedule_timeout()' Linux function expects a relative
timeout value. The first implementation of the wifi_drv, however, used
an absolute timeout value. This mismatch was overlooked when the
lx_kit, which adheres to the vanilla Linux semantics, was incoporated
in the driver.
Fixes#1990.
Instead of introducing a $(BASE_HW_DIR) variable that has to be defined in each
core makefile for the different base-hw targets, this commit replaces the
$(REP_DIR) variable usage in core.inc files with $(BASE_DIR)/../base-hw.
Ref #1955
Quota_exceeded message are of no use during session construction, since
the arguments of the ram_quota are used and no upgrade can take place (the
session construction failed and is so not available for upgrade)
Fixes#1983
Allocating a packet in the packet stream without a payload is not
allowed. Therefore we have to allocate CTRL message packets, that do
not have a payload, with a bogus length instead.
Directory_service::leaf_path returns a pointer offset from its argument
so pass member data rather than a constructor argument to leaf_path.
Issue #1775
This is an interim fix for solving the quota leakage problem of
the platform driver on x86 platforms. To properly fix that problem
one has to track which dataspaces where created by the platform driver,
so that freeing the dataspace and reversing the quota transfer is done
on correct dataspaces only.
Refer #1980
This patch removes the outdates doc/architecture.txt since the
topics are covered by the book. We keep repos/os/doc/init.txt
because it contains a few details not present in the book (yet).
The patch streamlines the terminology a bit. Furthermore, it
slightly adjusts a few source-code comments to improve the book's
functional specification chapter.
Instead of passing on the Noux 'config' ROM dataspace to child processes,
provide a separate configuration for each Noux child, which is either
'<config/>' or '<config ld_verbose="yes"/>', depending on the
configuration of this attribute for the Noux process. This is also a
workaround to prevent multiple insertion of the same 'config' ROM
dataspace capability into the dataspace registry.
Issue #1978
* Adds public timeout syscalls to kernel API
* Kernel::timeout installs a timeout and binds a signal context to it that
shall trigger once the timeout expired
* With Kernel::timeout_max_us, one can get the maximum installable timeout
* Kernel::timeout_age_us returns the time that has passed since the
calling threads last timeout installation
* Removes all device specific back-ends for the base-hw timer driver and
implements a generic back-end taht uses the kernel timeout API
* Adds assertions about the kernel timer frequency that originate from the
requirements of the the kernel timeout API and adjusts all timers
accordingly by using the their internal dividers
* Introduces the Kernel::Clock class. As member of each Kernel::Cpu object
it combines the management of the timer of the CPU with a timeout scheduler.
Not only the timeout API uses the timeout scheduler but also the CPUs job
scheduler for installing scheduling timeouts.
* Introduces the Kernel::time_t type for timer tic values and values inherited
from timer tics (like microseconds).
Fixes#1972
