Ported drivers list and extract all needed source files. This decouples
ports according to contrib sources and also enables us to revert lxip to
Linux version 3.9, while staying with 3.14 for usb.
Fixes#1285
The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
This patch changes both the Input::Session interface and the skeleton
for the server-side implementation of this interface
('input/component.h').
The Input::Session interface offers a new 'sigh' function, which can be
called be the client to register a signal handler. The signal handler
gets notified on the arrival of new input. This alleviates the need to
poll for input events at the client side.
The server-side skeleton for implementing input services underwent a
redesign to make it more modular and robust. I.e., there are no
global functions needed at the server side and the event-queue
enable/disable mechanism is implemented at a central place (in the root
component) rather than inside each driver.
Fixes#46
In case the storage-entry point dispatches more then one packet, wait for the
previous command to finish before setting a new request. This has to be done
because the 'queuecommand' does actually *not* queue things, but can only handle
one request at the time.
Fix#1143
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
