In the future bin_* means the direct destruction of a kernel object
without any blocking. kill_* in contrast is used for bringing a
kernel object such as signal contexts synchronized into a sleeping
state from where they can be destructed without the risk of getting
broken refs in userland.
ref #989
To remap its UTCB to its context area later, a main thread needs
to know the according dataspace capability. This is done through
the start-info it receives from its creator at startup.
ref #989
I have no idea where the previous default alignment = 2 in the unsynchronized
singleton came from but as at least the Arndale IC-driver in base-hw needs an
alignment of 4 = address width, unmanaged singleton now uses sizeof(addr_t)
as default alignment.
ref #989
An unmanaged singleton is a singleton object that isn't
constructed or destructed implicitly through the C++ runtime
enviroment. The new header provides a helper to create such objects
and is located in src/base/include.
ref #989
* Increase entrypoint stack size for part_blk server,
since it crashes on 64 bit
* Consider packet alignment in bulk buffer size calculation of test-blk-cli
* allow to handle a maximum of packets in parallel
that fits free slots in the ack queue
* stop processing packets, when the driver can't handle
more requests in parallel, and resume packet handling,
when the driver is ready again
As hw_arndale is a bit slower than foc_arm and spawn_serial timing
calculation has changed in general, timeouts of noux_tool_chain_auto test
must be adjusted.
fix#996
The Genode-specific implementation of 'QWaitCondition' contains a race
condition which can make the 'qt5_samegame' application hang on Fiasco.OC.
Since most of the pthread synchronization functions needed by the
UNIX-specific implementation of 'QWaitCondition' and 'QMutex' are
available now, we can use these now instead of fixing and keeping
the Genode-specific implementation.
Fixes#993.
Instead of using an additional thread in each Session_component of a
block server, which uses the generic block component and driver classes,
replace it with signal dispatchers.
Ref #113
With 64K stack size, when doing 'make core' in noux on base-hw, the main thread
of /libexec/gcc/arm-elf-eabi/4.7.2/cc1plus runs into a stack overflow during
the compilation of core/main.o . Thus raise the stack size to 128K.
