Adjust IRTE_COUNT to specify the number of IRTEs and not the index of
the last IRTE entry. This fixes an off-by-one error in the toggle_mask()
function, where the range check for I/O APIC IRQs wrongly ignored IRQ
23.
The custom version merely differs from the generic one with respect to
the session quota. Since we support the dynamic upgrading of sessions,
we don't need to provide the big amount (128KiB) defined by the custom
version.
This patch supplements each existing connection type with an new
constructor that is meant to replace the original one. The new
one takes a reference to the component's environment as argument and
thereby does not rely on the presence of the globally accessible
'env()' interface.
The original constructors are marked as deprecated. Once we have
completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.
Fixes#1960
The recent move of the initial three region maps into the PD session
breaks the noux.run test on Linux because the address spaces are locally
managed on this platform but the generic code of Noux still tries to
execute the regular procedure of creating the virtualized PD session for
a new Noux process. This patch handles a corner case that occurs on
Linux but no other platform. It enables the successful creation of the
virtualized PD session so that the test runs to completion. Still noux
on Linux remains to be limited to non-forking programs.
Issue #1938
All core.inc files now use $BASE_HW_DIR instead of $REP_DIR. The former
is defined by the core.mk file. This allows including core.inc files
from other repositories (e.g. genode-world) for additional platform
support.
Fixes#1955
Replace size_t by uint8_t in accessors for the IPv4 header fields
'version' and 'header_length' - uint8_t is the smallest integral type
for 4 bit of information. Note, as the _internet header length_ field is
defined to reflect the number of 32-bit words the header occupies, we
also stick to the specification with our accessor.
Issue #1915
The old implementation cleared all other bits in the SCU control
register when enabling the SCU, which broke the kernel startup on zynq-
based boards.
By only raising the enable bit, we can keep the initial/default state
e.g. as set up by uboot.
Fixes#1953
It turns out that the name function does not have much use in practice
except for naming the thread of the component's initial entrypoint. For
dynamically linked components, this thread is created by the dynamic
linker. It is named "ep" in these cases. Considering that we will
eventually turn all regular components into dynamically linked
executables, the additional information provided by the
Component::name() function remains unused. So it is better to not bother
the component developers with adding boilerplate code.
Now rlibs are actually linked to programs. Target files have been
modified to not generate code that requires compiler-rt. Added a target
for libstd-rust, but it's very broken right now. Moved alloc_system to
the libports folder because either a memory allocator needs to be
written in rust or posix_memalign needs to be implemented. Changed
liblibc to use freebsd as the OS instead of netbsd. Added a library with
unwind dummy functions.
Rust relies on atomic builtins, which are not implemented in libgcc for
ARM. One was implemented in rust, which was sufficient to get the
current rust test to run. Rust libs were added into the group of libs
for the linker so order no longer matters. The raspberry pi now uses an
armv6 target.
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch moves the base library from src/base to src/lib/base,
flattens the library-internal directory structure, and moves the common
parts of the library-description files to base/lib/mk/base.inc and
base/lib/mk/base-common.inc.
Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and
comments only) that I encountered while browsing the result.
Fixes#1952
We report UNLINK_ERR_NO_PERM only for files in TAR archive, otherwise
UNLINK_ERR_NO_ENTRY is returned. This permits the arbitrary layering of
file systems with support for proper ENOENT reporting, for example,
when using 'rm -f non_existent_file' that aborts if EPERM is wrongly
reported.
Most slab allocators in core use a sliced heap as backing store. Since
sliced-heap allocations are performed at page-granularity, it is
sensible to dimension the slab blocks to fill whole pages.
This patch cleans up the implementation of the sliced heap, adds a
constructor that takes references instead of pointers, and adds the
function 'meta_data_size' to determine the meta-data overhead per block.
The latter can be used to dimension slab allocators such that slab
blocks use whole pages.
The original 'Env' interface as returned by 'Genode::env()' has been
renamed to 'Env_deprecated' and moved to deprecated/env.h. The new version
of base/env.h contains the interface passed to modern components that
use the component API via base/component.h.
Issue #1832
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.
Note the API change:
This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.
Issue #1938
Since the dynamic linker depends on the XML utils and we plan to replace
the ancient 'Arg_string' with XML, it is time to move the 'Xml_node' and
'Xml_generator' to base/include.
We will eventually remove the delivery of the number of occurred signals
to the recipient. There haven't been any convincing use cases for this
feature. In the contrary, it actually led to wrong design choices in the
past where the rate of signals carried information (such as the progress
of time) that should better be obtained via an explicit RPC call.
The old 'Signal_rpc_member' template retains the old interface for now.
But the new 'Signal_handler' omits the 'unsigned' argument from the
handler function.
GNU ar only uses a flat module (object) name space but supports multiple
instances of objects with the same name. As we use subdirectories with
source file names that may clash (e.g., signal/common.cc and
server/common.cc in the base library) some of our static library
archives have multiple object instances. This is not an issue on archive
creation but works not as expected when updating archives. To avoid
updates of library archives we delete the files before calling GNU ar.
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.
Note the API change:
With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.
The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.
Issue #1938
The return code of assign_parent remained unused. So this patch
removes it.
The bind_thread function fails only due to platform-specific limitations
such as the exhaustion of ID name spaces, which cannot be sensibly
handled by the PD-session client. If occurred, such conditions used to
be reflected by integer return codes that were used for diagnostic
messages only. The patch removes the return codes and leaves the
diagnostic output to core.
Fixes#1842
The mixer is not directly necessary for the avplay demo. But it implies
additional maintenance work. E.g., in the current state, it complains about
the missing Report server and mutes audio output by default.
