The code intended to stop after the first failed attempt,
however the bool variable to control this was reseted
inside the loop and so it endless loops.

If a thread has been deleted the thread object at the cpu_session was never
freed which caused the cpu_session quota to be exhausted as reported in
issue #150.
Fixes#150
Be bit more robust.
* Don't use addresses and sizes larger than
32 bit address boundaries.
* Don't take modules of size 0, at address 0 and if aux is 0.

With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link
terminal and allows interactive source-level debugging of the GDB monitor
test application on Genode.
Fixes#280.
This patch implements the 'readv()' function in the libc.
A lock guard prevents the parallel execution of either or both of the
'readv()' and 'writev()' functions.
Fixes#279.
This patch implements the 'pread()' and 'pwrite()' functions in the libc.
A lock guard prevents the parallel execution of either or both functions.
Fixes#278.
Increase size of block session backing store so it can handle maximum supported
packet size. Synchronize client threads during packet allocation.
Fixes#276
The line-status register has two relevant status bits - transmitter-hold
register empty and data-hold register empty - from which only the THR is
relevant as it signals new character can be written to the device.
Fixes#281
Setting the handler for SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN (ignore) informs the kernel
not to enter the zombie state: (man 2 wait)
POSIX.1-2001 specifies that if the disposition of SIGCHLD is set to
SIG_IGN or the SA_NOCLDWAIT flag is set for SIGCHLD (see
sigaction(2)), then children that terminate do not become zombies

Fixes#271.
This patch sets the default document type in the "File save" dialog to
HTML and makes both the "File open" and "File save" dialogs enter the "/"
directory by default.
Fixes#274.
The block test at test/ahci is indeed not AHCI-specific. It is a generic
block read/write test for the block-session interface. But in contrast
to the original test/block, it restores the block device content (at
least when the test succeeds). Hence, we remove the original (dangerous)
block test and always use code of test/ahci.
The new SD card driver at 'os/src/drivers/sd_card/omap4' allows the use
of an SD card with the Pandaboard as block service. Currently, the
driver is using PIO, no DMA, and no IRQs. The driver can be tested using
the 'os/run/sd_card.run' script.
Rm_client is derived from Pager_object. If the Pager_object is also
derived from Thread_base (which is the case for NOVA) then the
Rm_client object must be destructed without holding the rm_session_object
lock. The native platform specific Thread_base implementation has to take
care that all in-flight page handling requests are finished before
destruction. On NOVA it is done by doing an IPC to the pager thread.
(performed in Pager_object::dissolve() in base-nova). The
called thread than executes its operation until end which also requires
in some cases to take the rm_session_object lock.
Since _client_slab insertion/deletion also must be performed
synchronized but can't be protected by the rm_session_object lock
because of the described dead_lock situation, we have
to use a synchronized allocator object to perform insertion and
deletion of Rm_clients.
Following deadlock happens when a Rm_client/Pager_object handles a page-fault
and concurrently the same object is dissolved (triggered by parent killing
the client).
The situation is as follows:
Page fault handling :
base-nova/src/base/pager/pager.cc : pf_handler() - lock pf_lock
base/.../core/rm_session_component.cc: pager() - lock rm_session
(in reverse_lookup())
Dissolve of Rm_client:
base/src/core/rm_session_component.cc: dissolve() - lock rm_session
base-nova/src/base/pager/pager.cc : dissolve() - lock pf_lock
The pf_lock is not required here during normal page fault handling,
since this pager object @NOVA is executed only by one and the same
thread and all critical operations inside the rm_session_object itself
are locked anyway. The only critical point is the destruction of the
Pager_object which is already handled in the both dissolve functions
of the rm-session_component (locking) and the pager_object (finalize
in-flight page faults).
Allocate exc_pt_sel inside Thread_base object
instead of pager object, since it is a thread
specific characteristic.
Same for freeing of the thread capabilities:
- ec, sc, rs, exc_pt_sel is thread specific
and has nothing to do in server nor pager object.
The invalid thread is specified as 0,0,-1 (ec cap, sc cap, sem cap).
The main thread is specified as 0,0,0.
The comparator identified "tid_main == tid_invalid" as equal,
which is obviously wrong.
The patch compares at least ec and sem cap.
Use semaphore down feature of NOVA to set the counter to zero.
If the semaphore was up()ed more than one time by impatient callers
(e.g. guys calling cancel_blocking) we make sure that the thread
really stops.
Don't allocate ec cap twice, in pager.cc and thread_start.cc.
Unmap of utcb has to be done in destructor of thread class, not
in pager class. Free capability selectors of ec and rs.
Invoke cancel_blocking before calling the
cleanup portal of the rpc_entrypoint. If a rpc_entrypoint
is blocked in a semaphore the cleanup call gets
stuck forever.
If nobody is blocked in a semaphore, nothing can be dequeued. If
the semaphore is used for signalling, there can be somebody in the queue,
but not necessarily.
