By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.
Ref #3864
To access the ARM Trusted Firmware from the platform driver
fill the new `managing_system` call of the PD session with life resp.
do a SMC call on behalf of the client.
Fix#3816
- base/cancelable_lock.h becomes base/lock.h
- all members become private within base/lock.h
- solely Mutex and Blockade are friends to use base/lock.h
Fixes#3819
This patch largely reverts the commit "base: lay groundwork for
base-linux caps change" because the use of 'epoll' instead of 'select'
alleviated the need to allocate large FD sets, which motivated the
introduction of the 'Native_context' hook.
Related to issue #3581
Older ARM processors like ARMv6, or Cortex A8 need to write back changes
of the page-tables to physical ram because the MMU does not use the cache.
This naturally needs to be done not only when adding a mapping,
but on removal too.
Fix#3715
This patch adds support for booting base-hw kernel on qemu-arm virt
machines. The arm_virt machine has 2GB of RAM, 2 Cortex A15 cores and
uses GICv2 interrupt controller. The arm_64_virt machine also has 2GB of
RAM, but has 4 Cortex A53 cores and uses GICv3. Both machines use PSCI
to boot additional CPU cores.
Fixes#3673
So far this only exposes two functions allowing the code to turn on
additional CPUs. There is much more functionality defined by PSCI spec
but so far its not needed by Genode.
Fixes#3672
This is a follow-up fix for commit 202333c881.
It checks for the diagnostic registers being already setup correctly.
Otherwise on platforms with secure firmware, like Pandaboard it will stuck.
Ref #3639
This patch reflects the Out_of_caps exception from core to the client,
in addition to the already covered Out_of_ram exception. It thereby
eliminates a potential abort in core, which I observed with the
tool_chain_auto.run script:
Kernel: RPC upgrade_cap_slab
Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Quota_guard<Genode::Cap_quota>::Limit_exceeded'
Warning: abort called - thread: entrypoint
In addition to propagating the exception, the patch add the client-side
exception-handling code to the base library.
Fixes#3703
This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction
Fix#3685
The mutex class is more restrictive in usage compared to
Genode::Lock.
- At initialiation time it is ever unlocked.
- No thread is permitted to lock twice. Warn about it
in case it happens.
- Only the lock onwer is permitted to unlock the mutex.
Warn about it and don't unlock the mutex in case it happens.
Issue #3612
In preparation of ipc receive, by now a bunch of capabilities got
allocated to be ready iin case of capability receiption. After that
unuse slots were freed again. This overhead of senseless (de-)allocations
is replaced in this commit by just restock capability slots that got
used by the last receive.
Fix#3640
Error return codes are used with non-const functions in the signaling modules.
This would have been impractical for the in-place translation of the module to
Ada in the context of the Spunky project. Besides, it is easy to get rid of
them and it makes the execution flow more clear.
Ref #3308
Besides reducing the use of pointers in base-hw, this prepares for the in-place
translation of the signaling module to Ada in the context of the Spunky
project.
Ref #3308
This prevents the use of Kernel::Object as base class for the specific kernel
objects and instead makes it a member of the kernel objects. Besides
simplifying inheritance hierarchies in base-hw, this prepares for the in-place
translation of the signaling module (and others) to Ada in the context of the
Spunky project.
