- sorting of initializer by Christian Prochaska - issue #3253
- leak of FPU register state reported by Julian Stecklina - thanks !
- fix page table synchronization bug - by Julian Stecklina
- add a second dynamic buddy if the memory requirements could not be fulfilled
by the first dynamic buddy
- disable vtlb peek if EPT/NPT is enabled
Switch to kernel branch, that determines the available system memory during
boot time. The overall kernel memory is still static, but during boot time
dynamically the amount can be chosen. Following 3 config option exists:
CONFIG_MEMORY_BOOT is the amount of kernel memory allocated in the BSS
statically - effectively chosen during link time - see linker script.
CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_MIN && CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_PER_MILL configures the dynamic
part of the kernel memory allocation applied during early kernel boot time.
CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_MIN is the amount of memory which should be allocated at
least. CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_PER_MILL defines the amount of the system memory in
per mill which should be allocated at most. The overall maximum kernel memory
is restricted to ~1G (64bit), due to the chosen internal virtual memory layout.
Fixes#2985
- Reordering and cleanup of commits to form a common branch shared by others
- Add right bit to deny portal usage for cross-core IPC
- avoid GP when switching on AMD SVM if disabled by UEFI/BIOS
Issue #2854
Kernel fails to lookup a capability it just got delegated, if
the backing store for the destination capability was before backed by a
zero-page. Triggers if PCID (64bit) is in use or in SMP setups.
Fixes#2101
- add a new function 'binary_ready_hook_for_gdb()' in ldso. GDB can set a
breakpoint at this function to know when ldso has loaded the binary
into memory.
- get the thread state from the NOVA kernel immediately on 'pause()'
Fixes#1968
Use kernel branch which is more accurate in accounting memory, which avoids
kernel messages of following form:
[0] warning: insufficient resources ...
Fixes#1830
