- we claim to have no limits on file handles and number of threads
- remove obsolete Thread_base::myself fall-back code for stack size calculation
Issue #1733.
Defer destruction of threads which tries to self-destruct. Check an perform
cleanup of such threads during pthread_cancel and pthread_create.
Issue #1687
Instead of white-listing floppy controllers, certain SCSI controllers
as well as ISAPnP etc. pp. remove the diagnostics and print each access
if verbose is set.
Fixes#1726.
Instead of using the alarm_timer thread we use our own timer thread
that uses a kernel semaphore on Nova. On all other platforms a timer
connection and trigger_once is used.
Fixes#1727.
* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
Fix#1697
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
Instead of returning pointers to locked objects via a lookup function,
the new object pool implementation restricts object access to
functors resp. lambda expressions that are applied to the objects
within the pool itself.
Fix#884Fix#1658
If the guest is not in an interruptible state when the recall handler is
called, an assertion fails. Since the assertion is only relevant if the
recall handler was called during IRQ injection, it should be moved into
the corresponding conditional block which already has the assertion for
the 'IF' flag.
Fixes#1661
By default, the EMT thread of the last vCPU handles expired timers. When
running VirtualBox with 2 vCPUs, it sporadically happens that the EMT
thread of the second CPU clears an 'interrupt pending' flag for the first
vCPU after changing the state of a timer device model, which is not
expected by our Genode-specific code (failed assertion '!_irq_win' in the
recall handler).
The problem did not occur yet when letting the EMT thread of the first
vCPU handle the expired timers, which is done by this commit as an interim
fix until the problem has been further investigated.
Issue #1660
There are currently some issue with the mixing/filtering code of vbox.
So instead of using the audio subsystem to do filtering and mixing we
bypass it to get better audio qualitiy. That means that the device
model of the VM has to use the same sample rate as the Audio_out/in
sessions, however.
Issue #1647.
With this commit preliminary audio support in VirtualBox is enabled.
The backend supports playback as well as recording sounds from within
a guest VM. Depending on how the guest configures the device model
the audio output may sound disorted. If the guest uses buffers that
are too small, i.e., 10 ms or less, frequent buffer underruns will
occure.
To get this low-latency one has also to increase vbox' update hz
to 200 (i.e., 5ms).
Fixes#1647.
Run script depending on VFS plugins (i.e., shared objects) like
vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so have to state this dependency rather the actual
binaries linked against libc. The latter introduces a library dependency
that is just not there. For example, the dependency on vfs_jitterentropy
is a result from the config node for libc which automatically loads the
plugin.
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
This exit handler is called by the NOVA kernel now when the VM uses PAE
with nested paging and the PDPTE registers need to get updated. With this
commit, an error message is printed if this situation occurs.
Fixes#1640
