Evaluate fadt xml node in report from acpi_drv. If the io ports in the range
of 0xcf8+4 are necessary for the reset than the platform driver will
react on the 'system' state 'reset' and reboot.
Issue #1962
Will be/can be used by the platform driver to reset the machine, iif the
platform driver owns the resources, e.g. the I/O ports of PCI config access.

The modular lx_kit seperates the required back end functionality of the
Linux emulation environment from the front end. Thereby each driver can
reuse specific parts or supply more suitable implementations by itself.
It is used to reduce the amount of redundant code in each driver.
The lx_kit is split into several layers whose structure is as follows:
The first layer in _repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul_ contains those
header files that provide the structural definitions and function
declarations of the Linux API, e.g. _errno.h_ provides all error code
values. The second layer in _repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul/impl_
contains the implementation of selected functions, e.g. _slab.h_
provides the implementation of 'kmalloc()'. The lx_kit back end API is
the third layer and provides the _Lx::Malloc_ interface
(_repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_kit/malloc.h_) which is used to
implement 'kmalloc()'. There are several generic implementations of the
lx_kit interfaces that can be used by a driver.
A driver typically includes a 'lx_emul/impl/xyz.h' header once
directly in its lx_emul compilation unit. The lx_kit interface files
are only included in those compilation units that use or implement the
interface. If a driver wants to use a generic implementation it must
add the source file to its source file list. The generic
implementations are located in _repos/dde_linux/src/lx_kit/_.
The modular lx_kit still depends on the private _lx_emul.h_ header file
that is tailored to each driver. Since the lx_kit already contains much
of the declarations and definitions that were originally placed in
these private header files, those files can now ommit a large amount
of code.
Fixes#1974.
In addition to updating the contrib sources the driver now uses the
new Component API and will report the internal mixer state.
Reporting of the mixer state is enabled by adding the 'report_mixer'
attribute to the drivers configuration and setting its value to 'yes'.
The following snippets illustrates the format of the report:
!<mixer_state>
! <mixer field="inputs.beep" value="108"/>
! <mixer field="outputs.hp_sense" value="plugged"/>
! <mixer field="outputs.master" value="128,128"/>
! <mixer field="outputs.mic_sense" value="unplugged"/>
! <mixer field="outputs.spkr_muters" value="hp,mic"/>
!</mixer_state>
The mixer state may expose other mixer fields as well, depending on the
used sound card. The naming scheme of the attributes intentionally
matches the naming scheme of OpenBSD's mixerctl(1) program.
Each 'mixer' node can be used to configure the audio driver by using it
in its configuration, e.g.:
!<config report_mixer="yes">
! <mixer field="outputs.master" value="255,255"/>
!</config>
This configuration will set the output volume to the highest possible
value. Although it is now also possible to update the configuration
at run-time it should not be done while the driver is currently playing
or recording because it may provoke the generation of artefacts.
Fixes#1973.
We do not ensure that the Fpu::Context is 16-byte aligned and,
therefore, should not tell the compiler that we did. Otherwise, the GCC
may optimize operations regarding the addresses of members as it did for
if ((addr_t)_fxsave_area & 0xf) ...
With the declared 16-byte alignment the condition will never become
true.
- add a new function 'binary_ready_hook_for_gdb()' in ldso. GDB can set a
breakpoint at this function to know when ldso has loaded the binary
into memory.
- get the thread state from the NOVA kernel immediately on 'pause()'
Fixes#1968
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.
A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.
To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.
Fixes#1939
These warnings are triggered by requests either using byte offsets or
reading a number of bytes that is not a multiple of the block size as
well as by components using the plugin with a different block size than
the backend block session provides.
Fixes#1964.
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
