Platform_pd "_pd" uses a allocator for, which relies on the mapped RAM
dataspace within core. Unfortunately the RAM dataspaces are already freed up
during _ram_ds_factory destruction, which may lead to trouble if accessed
afterwards.
Issue #2451
relocation is required, to avoid overlapping phdr in the elf binaries, but
sel4 will fail to boot if bender relocates the images at the end of physical
memory. Limit the physical relocation address to a fixed 256M value, so that
sel4 will work.
Issue #2451
The new version of the test exercises the combination of fs_report with
ram_fs and fs_rom as a more flexible alternative to report_rom.
It covers two corner cases that remained unaddressed by fs_rom and
ram_fs so far: First, the late installation of a ROM-update signal
handler at fs_rom right before the content of the file is modified.
Second, the case where the requested file is not present on the file
system at the creation time of the ROM session. Here, the ram_fs missed
to inform listeners for the compound directory about the later created
file.
This patch ensures that fs_rom delivers a ROM-update notification in the
case where the underlying file was changed in-between requesting the
initial ROM content and registering the signal handler.
With the introduction of the CONTENT_CHANGED notifications delivered via
the packet stream, the assumption that no more than one READ packet is
in flight at all times does no longer hold. If the fs server responds
to a CONTENT_CHANGED packet while the fs_rom expects the completion of a
read request, the '_update_dataspace' method would prematurely return,
leaving the dataspace unpopulated. This patch solves the problem by
specifically waiting for the completion of the read request.
Session_requester inherits from Dynamic_rom_session::Content_producer
which specifies the Buffer_capacity_exceeded exception which is thrown
on insufficient buffer space.
The former use of 'arm_v7' as architecture was too unspecific. Depot
binary archives for Cortex-A8/A9 platforms should be generated for
the 'arm_v7a' architecture to define the required compile flags
(i.e., -march).
This patch sets the -march complile flag in spec/arm_v7a.mk, which
enables us to build depot archives for the 'arm_v7a' architecture.
It also removes copy-pasted comments that offer no valuable insights but
contain grammar errors.
On platforms that use the PIT timer driver, 'elapsed_ms' is pretty
inprecise/unsteady (up to 3 ms deviation) for a reason that is not
clearly determined yet. On Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, that use kernel timing,
it is the same. So, on these platforms, our locally interpolated time
seems to be fine but the reference time is bad. Until this is fixed, we
raise the error tolerance for these platforms in the run script.

Appending a suffix to report filenames was behavior inherited from
fs_log, it prevents creating files where directories need to be created
later. But unlike logs, only a subset of the hierarchy will report and
those that do append a component-local label, so the risk of collision
is low.
By removing the suffix fs_rom can serve reports back as ROM just as
report_rom does.
Ref #2422
When building with multiple jobs, the 'Makefile' rule may be executed
before any of its sibling rules, which implicitly create the target
directory. In this case, the attempt to create the symlink for
'Makefile' fails and the 'build_bin_archive' aborts. Analogously to the
sibling rules, this fix creates the target directory as a side effect of
the 'Makefile' rule.
This patch makes the build step of the create tool conditional. If
merely creating api, src, pkg, or raw archives, the invocation of the
'build' tool can be skipped. Otherwise, the heap message for the 'build'
tool is displayed (because it is called w/o any arguments), which is
misleading to the user.
A bug in the timer-ticks-to-microseconds translation of the kernel timer
caused the user time to periodically get stuck for about 32 milliseconds
and then jump forward to the normal level again.
Ref #2400
In the timeout framework, we maintain a translation factor value to
translate between time and timestamps. To raise precision we scale-up
the factor when we calculate it and scale-down the result of its
appliance later again. This up and down scaling is achieved through
left and right shifting. Until now, the shift width was statically
choosen. However, some platforms need a big shift width and others a
smaller one. The one static shift width couldn't cover all platforms
which caused overflows or precision problems.
Now, the shift width is choosen optimally for the actual translation
factor each time it gets re-calculated. This way, we can take care that
the shift always renders the best precision level without the risk for
overflows.

The result-buffer related members of the fast polling test are
the same for each buffered result type. Thus, we can make the
code easier by providing them through a struct.
