This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
This patch integrates the functionality of the former CAP session into
the PD session and unifies the approch of supplementing the generic PD
session with kernel-specific functionality. The latter is achieved by
the new 'Native_pd' interface. The kernel-specific interface can be
obtained via the Pd_session::native_pd accessor function. The
kernel-specific interfaces are named Nova_native_pd, Foc_native_pd, and
Linux_native_pd.
The latter change allowed for to deduplication of the
pd_session_component code among the various base platforms.
To retain API compatibility, we keep the 'Cap_session' and
'Cap_connection' around. But those classes have become mere wrappers
around the PD session interface.
Issue #1841
Don't skip the cleanup call if a pager object is marked as blocked.
It happens that the pager_object is in destruction but it is also used
concurrently by the pager thread. The pager thread handling code may set the
pager object to blocked but still uses the pointer to the pager object. Avoid
locking at the state of the pager object and make the cleanup call everytime.
Error output looks like this, where the pf_ip is within
void Pager_object::_page_fault_handler(addr_t pager_obj)
method and the pf_addr is the stale pointer to the already released pager_object.
no RM attachment (READ pf_addr=xxx pf_ip=xxx from 00 <NULL>)
static void Genode::Pager_object::_page_fault_handler(Genode::addr_t): page fault, thread '<NULL>', cpu x, ip=xxx, fault address=xxx
PAGE-FAULT IN CORE (READ pf_addr=b10e0090 pf_ip=132dbc from 00 <NULL>)
Additionally print warnings about unavailable CPUs if they are tried to be
used during pager object setup.
Discovered during Turmvilla scenario #1552 and issue #1733.
Instead of returning pointers to locked objects via a lookup function,
the new object pool implementation restricts object access to
functors resp. lambda expressions that are applied to the objects
within the pool itself.
Fix#884Fix#1658
For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint
and pager activation is not needed, and only exists due to historical
reasons. Moreover, the pager thread's execution path is almost identical
between most platforms excluding NOVA, HW, and Fisco.OC. Therefore,
this commit unifies the pager loop for the other platforms, and removes
the pager activation class.
