Even though the call of map.metadata is known to always return a valid
pointer (because the meta data is assigned in the code just above),
better add an explicit nullptr check.
This commit uses CUSTOM_HOST_CC/CUSTOM_HOST_CXX instead of hardcoded
commands and introduces HOST_DEV_PREFIX.
Original patch by Roman Iten and Pirmin Duss.
Issue #3466
This patch removes the global variable 'blocker', which was expected to
be constructed via the global ctors. This mechanism, however, is not
used for the base library, which resulted in the use of an unconstructed
object. Specifically, the spinlock of the 'Lock' of the 'Registry'
defaulted to the LOCKED state (value 0), which eventually would lead to
a deadlock in the contention case of the cxa guard.
I could observe this deadlock once on during the component startup on
base-linux during the construction of the 'startup_lock'.
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly initializing the registry
of blockers via an init function.

Make sure that at least entry is present in the .dynamic section, so the
PT_DYNAMIC segment points to something valid in case there are no
dynamic symbols.
issue #3537
This patch removes ldso's builtin policy of removing any path elements
prepending the ROM module name. Instead, the ROM name is used as is.
This clears the way to access different ROM modules that share the same
name but are stored at different directories behind an fs_rom (e.g.,
/bin/bash vs. /usr/local/bin/bash).
Issue #3500
The allocation of regions within the linker area is normally left to the
best-fit 'Allocator_avl', which happens to populate the linker area
starting with the binary followed by all loaded libraried with no gaps
in between.
When replacing the binary during execve, however, we need to ensure that
the new binary does not conflict with any library that stays resident
during execve. This patch tweaks the linker's region allocation scheme
such that these libraries are placed at the end of the linker area.
Issue #3481
This patch extends the interface of the dynamic linker with the ability
to replace the running binary executable by another one. It is
designated for the implementation of execve. The interface consists of
two new functions.
'Dynamic_linker::keep' marks the specified shared object as unloadable.
This can be used to pin a set of libraries (i.e., the libc) within the
local address space while replacing the binary and other higher-level
libraries.
'Dynamic_linker::respawn' unloads the current binary, loads the one
specifed as first argument, and looks up the entry point symbol of the
new binary, which would be "main" for POSIX programs.
In addition to implementing the new interface, the patch adjusts the
linker at various places that previously assumed the binary to be
constant over runtime.
Issue #3481
This patch is a follow-up commit for "ld: load dynamic linker at static
address on Linux". It suppresses the stderr output of 'dd' when marking
the ELF binary as executable.
Issue #3479
This patch enables the fork.run script to run on base-linux. It should
be regarded as an interim solution, however, because the randomization
performed by the Linux kernel may still - by chance - produce a
situation where one of the libc's malloc heap regions intersects with
another dataspace dynamically attached to the child.
The better solution would be to make the 'Region_map_mmap'
implementation not depend on the kernel's allocation policy by using a
locally implemented allocator.
Issue #3478
The new 'Heap::for_each_region' method provides information about the
heap's used virtual-memory regions. This method allows for the
mirroring of the heap state as needed by 'fork'.
Issue #3478
By specifying the config attribute 'check_ctors="no"', the dynamic
linker won't abort the program on a missing call of
'Env::exec_static_constructors'. This is the case for forked programs
where the ctors were already executed by the forking program prior the
fork operation.
Issue #3478
This patch enhances the 'base/shared_object.h' interface of the dynamic
linker with the function 'for_each_loaded_object', which allows the
caller to obtain information about the currently loaded binary and
shared libraries.
The new interface is a base mechanism needed for implementing 'fork' in
the libc.
Issue #3478
This patch handles the case where a PD's cap quota becomes exhausted
on the attempt to transfer caps via 'Env::pd().transfer_quota'. The
solution mirrors the existing code for RAM quota.
Prior this patch, the 'transfer_quota' operation would trigger an
'Out_of_caps' exception.
The warning falsely detected cases where shared objects where loaded before
exec_static_constructors() was called as unneeded even in cases were the
binary itself contained static globals.
The commit also removes one redundant call to exec_static_constructors()
from the block tester.
The lazy-timer test depends on the faster-timer handler to be executed
before the fast timeout occurs, which was pretty hard to achieve on Qemu
and a busy host machine. Therefore, I increased the fast-to-faster
timeout ratio from 50/25 ms to 200/25 ms and set the test runtime to
4000 ms.
* added global offset table relative loading for global symbols
* removed 'initial_sp' and 'initial_x0' because they are currently not
used on this platform. If required they are easy to resurrect.
issue #3260
Components like kernel, core, and bootstrap that are built for a
specific board need to reside inside the same architectural dependent
build directory. For instance there are sel4, foc, and hw kernel builds
for imx6q_sabrelite and imx7d_sabre, which have to reside inside the same
arm_v7 build directory.
This commit names those components explicitely, and adapts the run-tool to it.
Fix#3316
Previously, only Invalid_dataspace, Region_conflict, and Out_of_ram were
handled for both allocate and attach with the same handlers. However,
both operations can also throw Out_of_caps and for all exceptions during
attach, the dataspace must be freed again whereas this is not the case
when the exception occured during allocate.
Issue #2953
Instead of retieving the information about the underlying platform from
the configuration, check the running kernel from the platform_info. This
commit removes the undocumented "acpi" config attribute.
* Make target binaries independent of board SPECS
* Name binaries of one architecture unambigously
* Extend include path to match board specifics
* Adapt run-scripts to use the right binary

With the new fact that plain time values are always 64 bit unsigned, the
timestamp type is never bigger than the plain time type. Therefore, a code path
in the curr_time interpolation that treated this condition is not neccessary
anymore.
Ref #3208
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
Issue #3111
remove_range may deny to the job on memory pressure or insane ranges,
which ends up in an endless loop when the Avl allocator is in destruction.
Since the Avl gets destructed, solely the memory free up is of importance,
not the correct range adjustments during remove_range.
Track the dataspaces used by attach and add handling of flushing VM space
when dataspace gets destroyed (not triggered via the vm_session interface).
Issue #3111
Handles corner case when addr + size becomes exactly 0. Before the commit
the function returned that sum is not part of the range, which is wrong.
Issue #3111
The old inline assembly provided two output operands that were afterwards
combined for a return value. However, the second output operand isn't
necessary when using the "Acquiring a Lock" example-code of the ARM manual
"Barrier Litmus Tests and Cookbook". This saves two logical operations
per acquisition try. Additionally better documentation is now provided.
Fixes#1292
This patch adds the items necessary for building Genode components with
stack protection enabled, but it is not initialized at runtime. They are
provided at the moment as a convenience and do not implement a security
feature.
Fix#3066
If a component is being destroyed just before it calls `exit()` at its
parent, the `exit()` call causes an `Ipc_error` exception, which leads to
an `abort()` loop with repeated error messages, because `abort()` calls
`exit()` too. Catching the exception in `Expanding_parent_client::exit()`
avoids this problem.
Fixes#3228
* Introduces pending_signal syscall to check for new signals for the
calling thread without blocking
* Implements pending_signal in the base-library specific for hw to use the
new syscall
Fix#3217
The "schedule_post_signal_hook" method of the Genode::Entrypoint class
is problematic because the signal hook can be scheduled and replaced
multiple times during the signal dispatch cycle. Add an alternative to
this method with "register_io_progress_handler" and the "Post_signal_
hook" class with "Io_progress_handler". The difference being an
"Io_progress_handler" may be registered once during the lifetime of an
entrypoint to prevent arbitrary libraries from replacing a pending hook.
The "register_io_progress_handler" remains as a deprecated API, and is
now invoked for every I/O signal received and only for I/O signals
rather than for any signal.
Ref #3132
The zynq nic_drv also depends on hw, we therefore adapted the folder
structure for clarity. Also renamed the binary to 'zynq_nic_drv' to
prevent conflicts and to allow removing the cadence_gem spec.
Issue #3179
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.
