The bash-builtin 'pwd' command uses the 'st_dev' and 'st_ino' members of
the 'stat' struct to compare the path from the 'PWD' environment variable
with the path returned by 'getcwd()'. These members don't get set
correctly in Noux and therefore the 'pwd' command sometimes returns wrong
results when building Genode in Noux. With this patch the 'CURDIR' make
variable gets used instead of calling 'pwd'.
Fixes#454.
With this patch an error message gets printed in
'Allocator_avl_base::free()' if the given address is not the start address
of the allocated block.
Fixes#459.
Create the signal context object before the signal receiver object to get the
signal receiver destroyed before the signal context. This avoids a 'specified
signal-context capability has wrong type' warning when the signal receiver
tries to free its managed context on destruction.
Part of #448.
When building the Fiasco.OC kernel, and L4Linux within the Genode build system,
forward the CC, and CXX variables. It might contain useful tools like ccache,
or distcc to speed up compilation. Moreover, don't delete the MAKEFLAGS when
building Fiasco.OC. It hinders parallel builds.
Certain symbols from the libgcc_eh library in cxx that is linked with the
L4Linux kernel were resolved by using kernel internal implementations.
This lead to errors because the complete Linux kernel is built regparm=3.
This patch prefixes the appropriate symbols in the Linux Kernel and its
modules. Moreover, it fixes some warnings introduced by the latest update
to gcc 4.7.
g++ 4.4.5 outputs the following warnings in our code using the loader
session:
.../base/include/base/capability.h: In member function 'typename Genode::Trait::Call_return<typename IF::Ret_type>::Type Genode::Capability<RPC_INTERFACE>::call() const [with IF = Loader::Session::Rpc_view_geometry, RPC_INTERFACE = Loader::Session]':
.../base/include/base/capability.h:207: warning: 'ret.Genode::Capability<Loader::Session>::Return<Loader::Session::Rpc_view_geometry>::_value.Loader::Session::View_geometry::width' may be used uninitialized in this function
.../base/include/base/capability.h:207: warning: 'ret.Genode::Capability<Loader::Session>::Return<Loader::Session::Rpc_view_geometry>::_value.Loader::Session::View_geometry::height' may be used uninitialized in this function

This is easily fixed with providing a default constructor.
Because of the C++ rules regarding initialer lists code that used
them for View_geometry had to be modified to use a normal construction
call. In my tests only Nitpicker had to be changed.
Preparation of base-pistachio fails on Ubuntu with dash as /bin/sh as it
does not support non-POSIX features like brace expansion. In this case
expanding in the Makefile via $(addprefix ...) fixes this shortcoming.
With the update to L4ka::Pistachio, we no longer need to patch the
contrib sources. Our patch went upstream in the meanwhile.
Apparently, gcc-4.7 is picky about specifying the '-melf_i386' argument
at the command line of the GCC frontend. We need to make sure to use the
'-Wl,' prefix.
The eglgears application depends on 'sqrt'. With the old tool chain,
this symbol was resolved through the dependencies of the 'gallium'
library. This does not work anymore for the new tool chain.
A similar issue arised for avplay, where we need to explicitly
state the av components in the LIBS declaration of the target.
The terminal has a lot of bits that may be worth reusing outside the
single implementation. Those bits are now located at 'include/terminal'
in the gems repository.
Replacing the local name of a capability index object which exists in the
capability map can destroy the AVL tree order of the capability map. With
this patch the outdated object gets removed from the map and a new object
gets inserted afterwards.
Fixes#435.
After this commit "make prepare" uses HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP where possible
fvor downloading third-party source codes. This prevents problems with
strict firewall rules where only selected ports are usable.
Unfortunately, git.l4android.org does not support Git via HTTP and,
therefore, the sources need a working Git port (9418).
Fixes#443.
* Introduces Schedule_context
* Use fast-interrupts or normal interrupts
* Add mode-transition between secure/non-secure world
* Limit system resources for Genode apps due to non-secure world
This commit implements the newly introduced Vm session interface to be used
on top of TrustZone capable Armv7 CPUs. Therefore a new Schedule_context is
introduced in the kernel. Threads and Vms are both Schedule_contexts used
by the scheduler. In contrast to a thread a vm uses a different assembler
mode switch to the non-secure, virtual world, as well as another exception
is used, when the non-secure world is left. For both worlds to co-exist
the interrupt-controller needs to be configured, so that the secure (Genode)
world uses fast-interrupts only, and the non-secure world only legacy
interrupts.
The only TrustZone capable platform the base-hw kernel works on top of
is the CoreTile Express 9x4 for the Versatile Express motherboard. For a
virtual machine working properly on top some platform resources must be
reserved. Therefore there exist two flavours of this platform now, one with
the 'trustzone' spec-variable enabled, and one without. If 'trustzone' is
specified most platform resources (DDR-RAM, and most IRQs) are reserved
for the Vm and not available to the secure Genode world.
Driver definitions which are used by kernel/core in base-hw, and also by other
drivers (e.g. from the os repository) have to reside in the generic
base-repository, for instance some uart drivers. All drivers which are
interesting for one of the sites only (sp804 for timer driver, or
cortex_a9 cpu driver for base-hw) should reside in the respective repos.
Factorize cpu context out of Cortex A9 specific definitions. Moreover, there
is already a Cpu_state object containing all common ARM registers. We use
this as a base for the cpu context switching done by the base-hw kernel.
The Cpu_state class get extended by a cpu-exception field, that stores the kind
of exception raised when the corresponding context got interrupted. This
information is used not only by the base-hw kernel, but also by the TrustZone
VMM that is build currently.
The 'Cpu_state' in 'base/include/base/cpu_state.h' is not needed anymore.
Moreover, it's inconsistent with the architecture-specific definitions
of 'Cpu_state' that all reside in <cpu/cpu_state.h>.
By now all services in core where created, and registered in the generic
main routine. Although there exists already a x86-specific service (I/O ports)
there was no possibility to announce core-services for certain platforms only.
This commit introduces a hook function in the 'Platform' class, that enables
registration of platform-specific services. Moreover, the io-port service
is offered on x86 platforms only now.
By naming all board declaration (previously in base/include/drivers/board) the
same way, and putting them in platform-specific include-pathes, we save additional
declaration redirection in the base-hw kernel, and in driver definitions.
By adding a "mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" attribute/value pair to the nic_bridge's
configuration one can define the first MAC address from which the nic_brigde
will allocate MACs for it's clients. Note: that the least relevant byte will
be ignored, and ranges from 0-255. Fixes#424.
