This patch makes nitpicker's geometry utilities available for the use
by other programs. Thereby, the 'Point', 'Area', and 'Rect' classes
have become templates that take the coordinate type and distance type
as arguments.
Access to a block session is provided by using the block file system.
By specifying the label, each block session request can be routed to
the proper block session provider:
! <fstab>
! ...
! <dir name="dev">
! <block name="blkdev0" label="block_session_0" />
! </dir>
! ...
! </fstab>
In addition to this file system, support for the DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl
request was added. This request is used by FreeBSD and therefore our
libc to query the size of the block device in bytes.
Fixes#1010.
All source codes of the glue code between Vancouver and Genode that were
based on existing GPL code had already stated that Genode Labs is not
the sole owner of the code. To make the distinction between the Genode
OS framework and the glue code more clear, this patch removes the text
"is part of the Genode OS framework" from the glue code.
File systems using the File_system_session interface can now be
synchronized by using this syscall. This is needed for file system
that maintain an internal cache, which should be flushed.
Fixes#1008.
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.

Makeinfo versions greater 5 treat an @itemx that isn't preceeded by an @item
not as warning anymore but as error. The GCC version 4.7.2 that is used by
noux currently triggers this error multiple times. This commit adds a patch
to 'make prepare PKG="gcc"' that avoids the use of @itemx without preceeding
@item. As GCC versions greater than 4.8 should fix this problem by themselves
this should be seen as temporary quick fix.

At least with base-hw, the endless loop at the end of the fork
parent slows execution of the fork child dramatically. Using
libc function pause() is a cleaner solution anyways.

Related to issue #808 - one way to nearly double the maximum VM size for
VMs on 32bit Genode/Nova host if decreased performance is acceptable.
To ease the creation of custom virtual machine monitors on top of
NOVA, this patch moves generic utilities from vancouver resp. seoul to the
public include location 'ports/include/vmm'. As a nice side effect,
this change simplifies 'vancouver/main.cc'.

DosBox is DOS-Emulator which is mainly used for playing old
DOS games on POSIX systems and newer Windows versions.
This port of DosBox runs natively on Genode by using its
SDL backend. It is currently only works on x86_*.
Fixes#937.
This patch changes the noux.run script to use the new log_terminal
component instead of an UART driver. Besides being a nice way to test
the log_terminal service, the new version is much simpler and it just
became compatible to Linux as it no longer relies on an UART driver.
Issue #947
There are programms that use struct stat's st_ino field to check certain
conditions. Since we are using multiple filesystems in a noux session we
cannot use the inode number which the actual filesystem provides.
Therefore we calculate a random inode number by hashing the stated path.
Fixes#299.
This patch adds a 'gdb' command to 'cli_monitor', which makes it possible
to debug an application with GDB.
The command works similarly to the 'start' command, but instead of
starting the subsystem binary directly, an 'init' subsystem gets
started, which then starts 'terminal_crosslink', 'noux', GDB and
'gdb_monitor' (which starts the application binary as its target).
So, for the 'gdb' command to work, these additional components need to
be available, too. 'terminal_crosslink', 'noux', 'gdb_monitor' and the
file 'gdb_command_config' are expected to be ROM modules. The Noux GDB
client needs to get mounted at '/bin' in Noux and the target binaries need
to be available as ROM modules (loaded by 'gdb_monitor') and also mounted
at '/gdb' in Noux (loaded by the GDB client).
Additionally, the source code of the target application can be provided
at '/gdb/src/ in Noux. How the Noux mountings get established can
be configured in the 'gdb_command_config' file. The default configuration
in 'os/src/server/cli_monitor/gdb_command_config' mounts GDB from a tar
archive named 'gdb.tar', the GDB target binaries from a tar archive named
'gdb_target.tar' and the target source code from a tar archive named
'gdb_target-src.tar'.
The patch includes an 'expect' include file (ports/run/noux_gdb.inc)
which provides functions that help to create those tar files:
- 'create_gdb_tar' creates a tar archive for the 'gdb' client
- 'create_binary_tar' creates a tar archive for the target application
- 'create_source_tar' creates a tar archive for the source code of
the target application
- 'create_binary_and_source_tars' is a convenience wrapper for the previous
two functions
The patch also includes an example run script
(ports/run/noux_gdb_dynamic.run).
The 'gdb' command supports the following command line options:
- --ram: the initial RAM quota provided to the whole subsystem
(including the GDB-related components)
- --ram-limit: limit for expanding RAM quota
- --gdb-ram-preserve: the RAM quota that 'gdb_monitor' ahould preserve
for itself
Fixes#928.
This patch implements the POSIX signal functionality needed to interrupt a
running Noux GDB by pressing 'Ctrl-C'.
It allows to register a signal handler for the 'SIGINT' signal, which
gets executed after 'Ctrl-C' is received from the terminal. With the
current state of the implementation, the signal handler only gets executed
when the Noux application calls a 'read()', 'write()', 'ftruncate()' or
'select()' syscall.
Fixes#923.
* Remove far too low default values from Nic::Connection constructor
* Extend lwip initialization function with desired TX/RX buffer sizes
* Add configuration possibility to libc_lwip_dhcp plugin to define
buffer sizes, like the following:
'<libc tx_buf_size="1M" tx_buf_size="1M"/>'
Fixes#892
Statically configured NIC bridge clients must be configured via
<policy...> nodes in the config. Otherwise, the bridge can't answer ARP
requests or route traffic.
This patch updates the launchpad config to use XML attributes and
removes the built-in default configuration (which is only meaningful
for demo.run anyway).
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.
binary_ds cap is attempted to free up twice by
_root_dir->release(_name, _binary_ds) in ~Child de-constructor and by
Static_dataspace_info _binary_ds_info de-constructor.
This commit keeps all binary related information inside a struct which gets
freed up after all noux session book keep cleaning is done.
