When a PD owns the right to ask for a RAM dataspace's `dma_addr` it is
concurrently constrained to use allocations of a specific physical RAM area.
This commit further limits this area by removing RAM page frame zero.
Otherwise the return value of `dma_addr` for such a dataspace would be
erroneously interpreted as a fault, because zero is currently the error
return value of `dma_addr`.

This patch cuts the superfluous dependency of abi.so files from the
library dependencies of the corresponding lib.so file. ABIs depend
only on symbol files.
Prior this patch, the second step of the following sequence would
wrongly re-build the abi.so file.
arm_v6$ make init
arm_v6$ make init KERNEL=hw
As the KERNEL argument does not affect the ABI, the abi.so should
better not be created twice.
Issue #4408
Genode linker does not support .gnu.hash tables so they will never be
used. Tell the linker not to bother producing them. This should reduce
the size of Genode ELF files a tiny bit without loosing anything
important in the process.
Fixes#4423
This does not affect default Genode builds as far as I can tell. There
is always at least one global static CTOR which seems to be coming from
one of the GCC runtime libs bundled in the toolchain. The problem became
visible for me only after I've replated GCC runtime with LLVM based
one. In such setup I often see binaries that do not have any static ctors.
Such binaries end up crashing Genode ld.lib.so.
Make sure the code does handle empty constructors array.
Fixes#4422
The official way to obtain DMA addresses for RAM dataspaces is
the RPC function 'Pd_session::dma_addr' now. User-level device drivers
should not call this function directly but use the 'Platform_session'
interface of the platform driver instead.
Fixes#2243
To make room for the re-newed usb_host_drv basing on Linux 5.14 and
the re-newed lx_kit/lx_emul we have to move the depot recipe and
consistently name the old drivers with a legacy_ prefix.

This patch removes the implicit build of ld-$(KERNEL) by the generic
ld.mk file because the kernel-specific dynamic linker is unreachable
when building a regular binary archive.
Issue #4320
When 'KERNEL' is specified, let the generic (pseudo) target of
lib/mk/ld.mk trigger the build of the actual dynamic linker named after
the used kernel. This way, we become able to remove the magic
linker-build step from the boot-image stage of the run tool.
Issue #4320
This patch applies the existing "privatization" of transitive
shared-library dependencies from static lib dependencies to shared lib
dependencies. It thereby improves the consistency of binaries created in
a regular build directory with binaries created in depot archives.
Issue #4408
This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.
The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.
The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.
With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.

* renamed rpi pic to Bcm2835_pic
* renamed rpi3 pic to Bcm2837_pic
* added bcm2837 control for setting prescaler value (to fix timer_accuracy)
* changed handling of all interrupts for rpi3 by cascading to bcm2835 pic
* rpi3 irq controller base address made consistent with rpi
* added usb controller memory region for pic on rpi3 (for SOF interrupts)

When used by the 'Allocator_avl' the slab allocator's backing store is
dynamically disabled and re-enabled while adding/freeing ranges.
However, during those operations, slab entries can be freed. This,
in turn, can result in the release of a slab block (when the freed slab
entry happens to be the last entry of the block). In this corner case,
'Slab::_release_backing_store' operation has no effect because no
backing-store allocator is set. As a result, the block is no longer
referenced but not physically freed.
The patch fixes the problem by skipping '_free_curr_sb' whenever
no backing store is defined. So the completely empty block remains
in the working set.
Thanks to Peter for reporting and fixing this issue!
Fixes#4367
Fix some trivial cases where the signedness of the constant value does
not match the signedness of type the code expects to see. GCC can be
asked to warn about those by passing Wsign-covnersion flag.
Issue #4354
As far as I can tell this is not raised by any released GCC versions.
Clang 13 on the other hand warns about it due to implicit-int-conversion
warning which is automatically enabled together with Wconversion. The
problem is relatively simple, shifting access_t value does not always
produce result which is also of access_t type. For example, if access_t
is uint16_t, shifting it will produce integer result. This can be
observed even with GCC. Building the following C++ example will fail:
#include <type_traits>
#include <stdint.h>
int test() {
uint16_t a = 0xabcd;
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(a<<1), uint16_t>);
return 0;
}
Changing uint16_t in the static_assert to int, will allow the code to
build.
Make such int to access_t implicit conversion explicit to allow the code
to be compiled with both GCC and clang.
Issue #4354
This patch improves the robustness of the CPU-affinity handling.
- The types in base/affinity.h received the accessors
'Location::within(space)' and 'Affinity::valid', which alleviates
the fiddling with coordinates when sanity checking the values,
in init or core.
- The 'Affinity::Location::valid' method got removed because its
meaning was too vague. For sanity checks of affinity configurations,
the new 'within' method is approriate. In cases where only the x,y
values are used for selecting a physical CPU (during thread creation),
the validity check (width*height > 0) was not meaningful anyway.
- The 'Affinity::Location::from_xml' requires a 'Affinity::Space'
as argument because a location always relates to the bounds of
a specific space. This function now implements the selection of
whole rows or columns, which has previously a feature of the
sandbox library only.
- Whenever the sandbox library (init) encounters an invalid affinity
configuration, it prints a warning message as a diagnostic aid.
- A new 'Affinity::unrestricted' function constructs an affinity that
covers the whole affinity space. The named functions clarifies
the meaning over the previous use of the default constructor.
- Core's CPU service denies session requests with an invalid
affinity parameter. Previously, it would fall back to an
unrestricted affinity.
Issue #4300
Instead of using a bitfield for storing rwx and skip boolean value,
take a boolean instead. This fixes a note giv]en by GCC 9.1 about
changes semantics of bitfields given as parameter by value on ARM.
Ref #4344
The requested guest-physical memory range may comprise multiple attached
dataspace regions, which must all be detached. This is not required for
the current vbox5 implementation, but for vbox6 as the current API
suggests these semantics.
This commit can be seen as intermediate fix as a real fix should change
the API to prevent long-running detach loops in core that may lock out
requests by other components.
* Only give managing_system permission when all parent nodes of the
corresponding component agree in doing so.
* Move the physical memory constrains heuristic from sandbox library to core
Fix#4335
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
This patch replaces the 'Ram_allocator::alloc' RPC function by a
'try_alloc' function, which reflects errors as 'Attempt' return value
instead of an exception.
