Unmasking of a pending interrupt did not lead to immediate IRQ handler
execution in all cases.
This commit also addresses some style concerns risen during the issue
discussion.
- Replace multi-boolean IRQ state by state enum
- EOI and ACK should be same in DDE context
- Unify x86 and ARM irqchip.c
- Remove Pending_irq type
- Remove dde_irq_set_wake()
Fixes#5164
The use of the Linux-internal SLUB allocator is supported by lx_emul and
drivers may now decide between the Linux implementation or our emulation
of kmem_cache. Drivers for pc and virt already use SLUB, while other
drivers still use the emulation and may be adapted step-by-step incl.
the testing on the devices.
Fixes#5236
Allocate a Genode known stack via alloc_secondary_stack and register it
as alternative stack via Signal:use_alternative_stack().
The original semantic of Posix, where the caller may choose arbitary stack
pointers is currently not possible. Warn about the fact.
Issue #5305
The Fn key on keyboards should never be reported as real scancode event,
as it is just a hardware switch that changes the reported scancodes of
other keys. The behavior of Linux hid-apple.c is wrong as it on one hand
reports different scancodes for the same hard key depending on the Fn
state but sends the Fn press and release events too. Thus from now on,
we just drop KEY_FN events for all drivers as otherwise, scancodes
generated generated by Fn+key combinations would never be single-key
events on upper layers, for example KEY_FN + KEY_F12 on the Matias Apple
keyboard clone in the fixed issue.
Fixes#5288
By calling run_genode_until twice, we take into account that the boot
time on some boards might long than on others, while still verifying
that the second "set_rtc" is reported within about 1min (+10s).
Fixes#5306
Since page tables might need to be allocated during
insert_translation(), Out_of_ram or Out_of_caps exceptions might occur.
Entries that have already been added by insert_translation() must thus be
removed once one of those exceptions occurred.
Fixes#5254
Add TAR_OPT to global.mk that defaults to user and group 1, while
setting mtime to 0 for tar archives. This can be used in components to
produce consistent (reproducible) tar archives.

This patch replaces the former Child::Process and
Child::Process::Loaded_executable classes by static functions that
return failure conditions as return values.
Issue #5245
By using GCC's --debug-prefix-map argument, we can make sure that debug
archives always refer to source files at /depot. With this change, GDB
can be pointed to the correct source-file location by using the `set
substitute-path /depot /path/to/local/depot`.
Fixes#5260
This patch tightens the coupling of the 'Platform_thread' objects
with their corresponding 'Platform_pd' objects by specifying the
'Platform_pd' as constructor argument, keeping the relationship
as a reference (instead of a pointer), and constraining the
lifetime of 'Platform_pd' objects to the lifetime of the PD.
It thereby clears the way to simplify the thread creation since all
PD-related information (like quota budgets) are now known at the
construction time of the 'Platform_thread'.
The return value of 'Platform_thread::start' has been removed because it
is not evaluated by 'Cpu_thread_component'.

Fix the wrong assumption about isochronous packets being always send
with maximum EP's packet size. Instead the isochronous cache now contains
a sizes array to deal with arbitrary packet sizes.

For consistency reasons, remove the cortex_a8, cortex_a9, and cortex_a15
spec directories. Such SPEC variables do not exist since a while.
Also rename remaining translation_table.h header to page_table.h to
stay consistent with the class names inside.

- Remove exceptions
- Use 'Attr' struct for attach arguments
- Let 'attach' return 'Range' instead of 'Local_addr'
- Renamed 'Region_map::State' to 'Region_map::Fault'

The 'Thread_creation_failed' error is now reflected as
'Thread::Start_result' return value. This change also removes the
use of 'Invalid_thread' within core as this exception is an alias
of Cpu_session::Thread_creation_failed.
Issue #5245
For each packet that got stuck with an ARP-cache miss, the router used to send
one ARP request and create one ARP waiter. However, in situations where many
packets target the same IP at one destination domain and during a short period
of time, this causes unnecessary session-quota consumption and network traffic.
This issue becomes especially pressing when taking malicious source peers,
absent destination peers, and packet batching into account.
Therefore, with this commit, the router can accumulate multiple source packets
with the same destination IP at one ARP waiter. This means, that only the first
packet with an ARP-cache for a certain IP sends an ARP request and creates an
ARP waiter. For situations where the ARP request is not answered, this
essentially rate-limits ARP requests for one IP at one destination domain
according to the lifetime of ARP waiters (default: 10s)
Ref #4534
The router used to send an ARP request for a packet before allocating the
corresponding ARP waiter. If the ARP waiter could not be allocated due to
resource exhaustion plus emergency free failed, the packet got dropped and the
router had produced unnecessary network traffic. The commit fixes this by
sending only after successful allocation.
Ref #4534
The previous default packet-batch count of 150 (<config
max_packets_per_signal>) was choosen with the only goal of preventing
starvation by huge amounts of packets from one session.
However, there is something else to keep in mind. A packet that is found to
require ARP sends an ARP request and becomes blocked after having consumed
resources. This means, that, in the worst case, the router used to send 150 ARP
requests and consume resources 150 times before making it even possible for the
outer world to react and cause resources to be freed.
With this additional scenario in mind, the default batch size should be
significantly lower.
