When capabilities are delegated to components, they are added to the UTCB of the
target thread. Before the thread is able to take out the capability id out of
the UTCB and adapt the user-level capability reference counter, it might happen
that another thread of the same component deletes the same capability because
its user-level reference counter reached zero. If the kernel then destroys the
capability, before the same capability id is taken out of all UTCBs, an
inconsitent view in the component is the result. To keep an consistent view in
the multi-threading scenario, the kernel now counts how often it puts a
capability into a UTCB. The threads on the other hand hint the kernel when they
took capabilities out of the UTCB, so the kernel can decrement the counter
again. Only when the counter is zero, capabilities can get destructed.
Fix#1623
On Linux the linker can now be loaded at arbitrary addresses, this became
necessary for newer kernel versions. The 'linux_arm' target is not supported.
Issue #1728
Former Native_config::context_area_virtual_base() was used to identify
the main, which is not desired as the Native_config is rather low-level
(almost private to the base libs). The commit uses a library constructor
to retrieve the main-thread Thread_base pointer, which can be used later
to distinguish main and other threads.
Likewise on the x86 branch, we have to remove all virtual memory ranges from the
virtual memory allocator that are used by one-by-one mappings of I/O regions
used by the kernel.
Fix#1797
If the injection of an event causes an EPT violation, the event must be
injected again. This commit implements the reinjection for the case that
the EPT violation can be resolved without involving the recompiler.
Fixes#1798
This reverts commit d8b95c263b.
Some clients might want to fiddle with the clients play position
(e.g. the mixer) within 'Audio_out::start()' and we might reset
it to an old value if we do it afterwards.
Fixes#1796.
Since all Audio_out server components loop over the packet stream
queue it is save to reset the tail position to one after the play
position. We have to do this because we do not know exactly when
the play position changes (i.e. the driver has processed the packet)
and we might end up with a tail position before the current play
position.
Issue #1796.
* Also change the way how mute is handled. Only send the
changed signal if the user has clicked on the mute checkbox
* Always check channels_rom is valid
* Add <default> handling
* Increase verbosity
Fixes#1795.
Instead of bailing out if the channel list is incorrect check config
node attributes and default settings first.
Being there also fix flawed LOG messages.
Fixes#1794.
* enable i915 driver from Linux 3.14.5
* tested for generation 5 till 8 GPUs
The driver can be configured at run-time via the config ROM. Every
connector of the graphic card can be configured separately using the
following syntax
<config>
<connector name="LVDS-11" width="1280" height="800" enabled="true"/>
</config>
Also, when enabled within the intel framebuffer driver configuration like
the following
<config buffered="yes"/>
a simple ram dataspace is propagated to the client and the driver
itselfs copies from that buffer to the framebuffer triggered via refresh
calls. This option is useful to alleviate tearing effects.
The driver distributes all available connectors of the graphic card and
their supported resolutions via a report. It looks like follows
<connectors>
<connector name="LVDS-11" connected="1">
<mode width="1280" height="800" hz="60"/>
...
</connector>
...
</connectors>
The driver distributes the report only if this is stated within its
configuration, like the following
<config>
<report connectors="yes"/>
</config>
Fix#1764
This patch unifies the mechanism of selecting server-side policies and
taking session-routing decisions based on session labels. In both cases,
XML nodes are scored against session labels. The score depends on the
XML attributes 'label' (exact match), 'label_prefix', and
'label_suffix'.
Issue #1766
* Provide paravirtualized block API for accessing the second partition
of the block device that is provided by the ESDHC driver.
* Provide paravirtualized serial API for sending log-output over Genodes
serial port.
* Use the latest Linux suggested in the USB Armory Wiki [1] when on USB Armory
while still using the older vendor Linux when on i.MX53 QSB. I.e.,
provide a device tree through RAM and a rootfs through the paravirtualized
block device when on USB Armory while providing ATAGs and Initrd when on
i.MX53 QSB.
* Switch on the LED on the USB Armory when the VMM catches a VM-exception
and switch it off again when as soon as the exception is handled. This
merely show-cases the ability to instrument the LED for such purposes. In an
ideal world, the LED is switched on as long as we're on the "Secure Side"
and switched off as long as we're not.

On the USB Armory, we want to secure different devices than on other i.MX53
implementations. Thus, add a board specific configuration that is interpreted
by the kernel Trustzone initialization.
Ref #1497
Enhance the VM state, that can be accessed by a VMM, by a member
'unsigned irq_injection'. In Kernel::Vm::proceed check, whether
irq_injection is set. If so, check whether irq_injection is a
non-secure IRQ. If so, let the PIC raise this IRQ in the VM and reset
irq_injection.
