This patch fixes the following build problem that occurs on recent
GNU/Linux systems:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h:307:0: error: "__always_inline" redefined
...
/usr/include/linux/stddef.h:5:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
The code in 'cdefs.h' does not check if the '__always_inline' is already
defined. The patch works around the problem by including the 'sys/cdefs.h'
first.
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
The native CPU client holds a capability reference and the reference
counter of the capability can reach its limit when many threads are
successively created and destroyed (destroyed by the Linux kernel).
Fixes#2886
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
In newer glibc versions, the '__sigword' and '__sigmask' macros are only
available in sigsetops.h which is not installed. These macros are not
system-specific, hence we implement them explicitly ourselves.
Fixes#2616
We moved the stack-area segment 128 MiB behind text and data to comply
with assumptions in the kernel ELF loader.
This commit also reenables static binaries on linux and removes the
unused stack_area.stdlib.ld script.
Fixes#2521
The filename buffer of a dataspace in base-linux is limited to
40 bytes. When using file names longer than this, the remainder
gets dropped silently. Add an error message to aid debugging this
case.
The recently implemented capability resource trading scheme unfortunately
broke the automated capability memory upgrade mechanism needed by base-hw
kernel/core. This commit splits the capability memory upgrade mechanism
from the PD session ram_quota upgrade, and moves that functionality
into a separate Pd_session::Native_pd interface.
Ref #2398
On ARM, we do not have a component-local hardware time-source. The ARM
performance counter has no reliable frequency as the ARM idle command
halts the counter. Thus, we do not do local time interpolation on ARM.
Except we're on the HW kernel. In this case we can read out the kernel
time instead.
Ref #2435
The 'Stack_area_ram_session' is now a 'Stack_area_ram_allocator', which
simplifies the code and remove a dependency from the 'Ram_session'
interface, which we want to remove after all.
