With the change of the Timer::Session interface, all scenarios that use
the timer use core's SIGNAL service. So we need to route sessions
accordingly.
In addition to the adaptation to the changed timer, this patch removes
some stale examples that predate the run tool and are no longer used.
The setup now uses nitpicker and nit_fb to display several instances of
vancouver. The guest OS binaries must be supplied in the
'<build-dir>/bin' directory manually.
Furthermore, the patch lets launchpad pass Block, Nic, and Rtc to the
parent.
When matching the 'label' session argument using '<if-args>' in a
routing table, we can omit the child name prefix because it is always
the same for all sessions originating from the child anyway. Therefore,
this patch adds a special case for matching session labels. It makes the
expression of label-specific routing more intuitive.
Make sure unlock is called when 'global_mutex' reaches zero count. Add verbose
variable in order to disable some output. Disable irritating 'Overflow' messages
in 'sys_mbox_post' and 'sys_mbox_try_post' per default. This may happen and is
not an error, since the ring buffer is full and will be emptied eventually.
Remove priority from genode_org run script.
Should fix#347
Use 'Nic::Packet_allocator', wait for acknowledgements if packet allocation
fails. Updated 'lwip.run' and 'genode_org.run' to support OMAP4 correctly. Use
memcpy to copy PBUFs
May resolve issue #347
The memory allocation heuristics in the usb driver provided by dde_linux
changed with the recent commit 71b2b42936.
Apparently, the new variant requires a larger memory pool. Increasing
the quota is a temporary fix until the memory allocator gets revisited.
Explanation why --disable-rpath-hack is needed:
When building on pistachio_x86 $(LDFLAGS) contains '-L[...]/l4/lib'
which will be transformed by autoconf to '-rpath [...]/l4/lib'.
Now the problem at hand is that we pretend to be FreeBSD when we are
actually not. So autoconf assumes it is valid to use '-path' when it
is actually not.
Also we use zlib for (de)compressing gzipped streams/files instead of
calling gzip as this currently somewhat buggy.
This patch adds lighttpd as noux package. However, we do not use the
original build system but rather compile lighttpd directly from the
Genode build system. This is needed because we want to statically link
lighttpd modules into the binary. This mode is (somehow) supported by
the SConscript that comes with lighttpd. However, the GNU build scripts
do not expose this feature.
The port of lighttpd at 'ports/src/app/lighttpd' executes the web server
directly (w/o using Noux). It is accompanied by the lighttpd.run script.
At the current stage, lighttpd is starting up but fails because of an
unsupport fcntl call.
With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link
terminal and allows interactive source-level debugging of the GDB monitor
test application on Genode.
Fixes#280.
This patch adds a new "terminal" file system type to Noux, which allows to
create a "character device" file that is connected to a Genode 'Terminal'
service.
The 'Terminal' session created by the file system has the label
"noux(terminal_fs)" to distinguish it from the 'Terminal' session
created by Noux itself.
Fixes#244.
Noux/net adds network functionality to noux. Currently most basic
network related system calls including 'accept', 'bind', 'connect',
'listen', 'recv', 'send', 'shutdown', and 'socket' are implemented by
wrapping lwip's network functions.
At the moment noux/net is rarely usable, though it is possible to
use netcat to send a message to a netcat server which listen on a
given port in noux/net.
This patch introduces support for stacked file systems alongside new
glue for accessing file-system implementations provided via Genode's
new file-system-session interface.
Using stacked file systems, an arbitrary number of file systems (such
as tar archives or file systems implemented as separate Genode
components) can be composed to form one merged virtual file system.
An example is given via the 'ports/run/noux_bash.run' script. This run
script creates a virtual file system out of multiple tar archives each
containing the content of a particular GNU package. In addition, one
'ram_fs' is mounted, which enables Noux to perform write operations.
This way, the shell output can be redirected to a file, or files can
be saved in VIM.
Fixes#103.
This patch allows to configure the amount of RAM that GDB monitor should
preserve for itself. The configuration syntax looks as follows:
<start name="gdb_monitor">
<resource name="RAM" quantum="1G"/>
<config>
<target name="noux">
<preserve name="RAM" quantum="2M"/>
...
</config>
</start>
Fixes#190.
The old variant provided 8K capability slots to all processes on core,
which increased binaries by 180 KB for the static allocator. I reduced it
to 4K capabilities stay under 100 KB overhead for the allocator.
Anyway, pci_drv and pl11x_drv need more RAM quota now: 2M for pl11x_drv
and 1M for pci_drv.
The 'noux_bash.run' script has become able to present the user with an
interactive bash shell for executing various coreutils programs. It is
still pretty limited, i.e., the environment is not correctly passed to
child processes and pipes are not supported. But bash and coreutils are
operational.
