- if no affinity was set for a new thread before calling
Cpu_session::start(), the CPU session's affinity gets set for this
thread
- documentation fix: <affinity_space> -> <affinity-space>
Fixes#873.
In case there is not enough quota left to create the trace buffer
or trace policy dataspace throw Out_of_metadata explicitly instead
of rethrowing the Ram_session::Quota_exceeded exception. Now one
can catch Trace::Out_of_metadata exception in a client application.
In addition fix Allocator_guard::withdraw() checks because this
method does not throw any exceptions and a failed withdrawal goes
unoticed.
Fixes#871.
By now Signal_session_component has allocated initial SLAB
blocks in constructor, wich crashed with the root
components assumptions about the RAM quota needs of
session creation. Thus, if the background allocator was already
exhausted from component allocation the session was created
with broken initial SLAB blocks.
fix#574
This patch extends the 'Parent::session()' and 'Root::session()'
functions with an additional 'affinity' parameter, which is inteded to
express the preferred affinity of the new session. For CPU sessions
provided by core, the values will be used to select the set of CPUs
assigned to the CPU session. For other services, the session affinity
information can be utilized to optimize the locality of the server
thread with the client. For example, to enable the IRQ session to route
an IRQ to the CPU core on which the corresponding device driver (the IRQ
client) is running.
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.
By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.
* read out supported number of CPUs
* start per CPU a thread
* monitor by main thread liveness of remote CPU threads
* add a round variable
* terminate run script after a specific round or after 90s
* on qemu wait 5 rounds, on native runs 40
Add run script to autopilot list
Issue #814
This avoids a deadlock if during issuing a printf the low level IPC fails.
. Printf uses an address space local lock and if we are trying again
to make a printf we deadlock forever ...
The rm_session implementation expects that offset + size must be
part of one dataspace. Unfortunately the parameters are not checked
properly during an rm::attach.
During an detach memory behind the actual region can be unmapped by such
bogus region entries.
Issues #591
Since RM sessions can be used as dataspaces and dataspace sizes are
supposed to have page granularity, RM session sizes should have page
granularity, too.
Fixes#799.
The Rpc_exit call is delivered via RPC which results in a deadlock
if the Rpc_entrypoint has not been started yet. To prevent this
situation we active the Rpc_entrypoint explicitly before we call
Rpc_exit.
Fixes#811.
When using certain assembler instructions, e.g. 'smc' that are
only available on some CPUs of the same architecture like ARMv7a,
it's necessary to specify the target CPU for the assembler. Otherwise
it will complain about.
- use the generic 'crt0.s' for Linux
- move the read-only '__dso_handle' definition into the '.text' section
- move the '__initial_sp' definition into the '.bss' section
- remove the '_main_utcb' definition
Part of #766.
Until now the print procedure call in the Log_session_component
did contain a hardcoded 'init' string. Adding a method to filter
the session args to prefix the label and labelling the initial
Cpu_connection for the init-process enabled us to remove the
hardcoded string.
Fixes#789.
The given number of bytes is consumed but not actually allocated. This
feature may be used for accounting and use memory within core which is
in fact provided by a session client.
Fixes#792.
The verbosity must be enabled at two levels: at compile time
via an enum that switches the availability of verbosity code
and via two members of 'Mmio' named '_read_verbose' and
'_write_verbose'. The latter are initialized to 0 (change this to
enable verbosity globally) and can be used to locally enable
(or disable) verbosity in deriving classes.
Ref #753
Added spec file for ARM-VFPv3 floating-point unit. This shadows
'base/include/arm/' with 'base/include/arm/vfp' and enables a 'memcpy_cpu'
version that mainly uses the FPU. Enabled VFP support for 'foc_arndale'.
Ref #773
* Implements platform driver for Arndale providing Regulator for CPU clock
* Implements a cpu frequency scaling test using the affinity test
* Fixes#770
This patch introduces a new platform 'linux_arm' for building and running
Genode/Linux on an ARM device.
Known limitations:
- libc 'setjmp()'/'longjmp()' doesn't currently save/restore floating
point registers
Fixes#746.
