This commit puts all C++ runtime/support symbols of ld.lib.so in a
dedicated section of base/lib/symbols/ld and mirrors the section to
libports/lib/symbols/libc. So, the libc ABI resolves potential C++
runtime dependencies of base-ABI-agnostic components at link time. The
runtime resolution is done by the linker by symbol lookup in ld.lib.so.
Issue #3720
The function is exposed in libc headers provided by Genode, the code for
the function is being compiled and actually works, but the symbol is
missing from the symbols file resulting in linking failures. Add it to
the libc symbols file.

Generated a separate 'config.h' for arm, arm_64, x86_32, x86_64 for the
current version (6.1.2) of GMP. This became necessary because
configurations differ for each architecture.
'config.h' generaton on x86_64 host in'gmp-6.1.2' directory:
for x86_64 (native):
! configure
for x86_32:
! configure --host=x86-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
for arm:
! configure --host=arm-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu \
! CC=/usr/local/gcc-linaro-arm/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ABI=32
for arm_v8:
! configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu \
! CC=/usr/local/gcc-linaro/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc ABI=64
issue #3598
The libc monitor facility enables the execution of monitor jobs by the
main thread when the monitor pool was charged. In comparison to the
current suspend/resume_all mechanism the main thread iterates over all
job functions in contrast to waking up all threads to check their
conditions by themselves. Threads are only woken up if the completion
condition was met.
This commit is the result of a collaboration with Christian Prochaska.
Many thanks for your support, Christian.
Fixes#3550
This patch unifies the patterns of using the 'Genode' and 'Libc'
namespaces.
Types defined in the 'internal/' headers reside in the 'Libc'
namespace. The code in the headers does not need to use the
'Libc::' prefix.
Compilation units import the 'Libc' namespace after the definition of
local types. Local types reside in the 'Libc' namespace (and should
eventually move to an 'internal/' header).
Since the 'Libc' namespace imports the 'Genode' namespace, there is
no need to use the 'Genode::' prefix. Consequently, code in the
compilation units rarely need to qualify the 'Genode' or 'Libc'
namespaces.
There are a few cases where the 'Libc', the 'Genode', and the global
(libc) namespaces are ambigious. In these cases, an explicit
clarification is needed:
- 'Genode::Allocator' differs from 'Libc::Allocator'.
- 'Genode::Env' differs from 'Libc::Env'.
- Genode's string functions (strcmp, memcpy, strcpy) conflict
with the names of the (global) libc functions.
- There exist both 'Genode::uint64_t' and the libc'c 'uint64_t'.
Issue #3497
This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.
The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.
The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.
There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.
Issue #3497
Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket
control files at the VFS. Add an "address" and "netmask" file to the
lwIP plugin.
Only a single IPv4 address is initially supported, and the broadcast
address returned will never be valid.
Fixes#3439
This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc.
The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the
loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc -
intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc
internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a
heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g.,
libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to
any memory object allocated from the malloc heap.
Issue #3481
Replace the FreeBSD libm with OpenLibm, which is easier to port.
OpenLibm is used by Mirage's freestanding Ocaml runtime (sin POSIX).

The minimal-footprint Ada runtime for implementing library-like
functionality in SPARK is now called "spark" runtime.
The full Ada runtime for entire components written in Ada and using the
libc as glue to the underlying system will move to the world repository
as "ada" runtime.
Issue #3144
Store all files generated by moc and rcc in the application's build
directory to prevent the use of unfinished generated files for other
applications built at the same time.
Issue #3115
FreeBSD implements 'clock' with an accuracy of 128 ticks-per-second for
compatibility reasons, Linux uses 1000000 per-second. Remove 'clock' and
print an error because it is unlikely that this is the resolution
expected by the application.
Fix#3057
Move the libc-i386, libc-amd64, and libc-arm include directories into
the standard "include/spec" directory. This allows the platform specific
headers in the libc API package to be detected in a generic manner.
Ref #3051
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
