* Remove far too low default values from Nic::Connection constructor
* Extend lwip initialization function with desired TX/RX buffer sizes
* Add configuration possibility to libc_lwip_dhcp plugin to define
buffer sizes, like the following:
'<libc tx_buf_size="1M" tx_buf_size="1M"/>'
Fixes#892
In order to be able to dynamically balance resources of slaves, we need
to provide an accessor to the slave's RAM session and a way to issue
yield requests.
Both 'platform_session/capability.h' and 'platform_session/connection.h'
do not contain platform-specific information. By moving them from
'include/platform/imx53/platform_session/' to 'include/platform_session/',
this patch enables other platforms to reuse them.
By splitting Session_policy into two classes, we make it more flexible.
Originally, the constructor accepted solely an args string, which made it
unusable for situations where we already have extracted the session
label (e.g., stored in the session meta data of a server). Now, the
extraction of the label from the args string is performed by the new
Session_label class instead, which, in turn, can be passed to the
constructor of Session_policy.
This change causes a minor API change. The following code
Session_policy policy(session_args);
Must be turned into
Session_label label(session_args);
Session_policy policy(label);
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.
To enable the specification of key names in configuration files parsed
at runtime, we need the association between key-code values and their
respective names.
Instead of using msleep to sleep periodically, and then increase jiffies
counter in the alarm scheduler implementation of the timed semaphore
use the 'trigger_periodic' call introduced by the change of the timer session
interface into an asynchronous one. Thereby, we can reduce the necessary IPC
communication with the timer service effectively.
Ref #35
The assignment of affinities consists of two parts, the definition
of the affinity space dimensions as used for the init process, and
the association sub systems with affinity locations (relative to the
affinity space). The affinity space is configured as a sub node of the
config node. For example, the following declaration describes an
affinity space of 4x2:
<config>
...
<affinity_space width="4" height="2" />
...
</config>
Subsystems can be constrained to parts of the affinity space using
the '<affinity>' sub node of a '<start>' entry:
<config>
...
<start name="loader">
<affinity xpos="0" ypos="1" width="2" height="1" />
...
</start>
...
</config>
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.
* Implements platform driver for Arndale providing Regulator for CPU clock
* Implements a cpu frequency scaling test using the affinity test
* Fixes#770
In fact, the sizes were the same the whole time, but by using
the same enum in both cases to instantiate the Packet_stream_tx
and Packet_stream_rx members of the e.g. RPC object, it allows
for more flexible generalization between e.g. source or, sink
objects, when programming event-driven, and implementing generic
handlers for their signals.
Changes GPIO session interface to a one-GPIO-pin-per-session style. Moreover,
this commit introduces a generic driver interface for GPIO drivers. Thereby
generalizes root- and session component for GPIO.
* Simplify IPU register definitions using templates
* Distinguish between i.MX53 QSB and SMD board in driver
* Support IPU specific overlay mechanism by framebuffer session extension
Instead of trying all PCI devices by a specific PCI driver, now the device or
the device class can be limited to the one actually supported by the specific
driver.
Without the patch the signal cap was ever transferred to the timer session
when a usleep/msleep was called, even when unneeded. On base-nova this
causes the allocation of new capability indexes which are not freed up.
So the timer service run quickly out of indexes and get out of order...
