Print Fiasco.OC kernel debugger messages into a file instead of a pipe
in the default l4linux run-script. Thereby rarely triggered issues by the
nightly running buildbot can be analyzed after the test failed.
Implement shared IRQs using 'Irq_proxy' class.
Nova: Added global worker 'Irq_thread' support in core and adapted Irq_session.
FOC: Adapted IRQ session code, x86 has shared IRQ support, ARM uses the old
model. Read and set 'mode' argument (from MADT) in 'Irq_session'.
OKL4: Use generic 'Irq_proxy'
Fixes issue #390
Added generic 'Irq_proxy' class to core includes (ported from base-okl4). It can
be used to implement shared IRQ support for various base platforms. It will
generate one thread per IRQ and unblocks waiting clients (IRQ sessions) upon
interrupt receipt.
Issue #390
GCC warns about uninitialized local variables in cases where no
initialization is needed, in particular in the overloads of the
'Capability::call()' function. Prior this patch, we dealt with those
warnings by using an (unreliable) GCC pragma or by disabling the
particular warning altogether (which is a bad idea). This patch removes
the superfluous warnings by telling the compiler that the variable in
question is volatile.
Formerly, GENODE_RELEASE just undef'd PDBG() which concealed bugs in
places PDBG was used, e.g., do to API changes. Unfortunately,
desparately disabling GENODE_RELEASE during bug hunt sometimes
introduced new errors. Now, PDBG is just a branch not taken but seen by
the compiler, which is able to produce warnings/errors when the API is
changed.
Fixes#378.
Unify handling of UTCBs. The utcb of the main thread is with commit
ea38aad30e at a fixed location - per convention.
So we can remove all the ugly code to transfer the utcb address during process
creation.
To do so also the UTCB of the main thread of Core must be inside Genode's
thread context area to handle it the same way. Unfortunately the UTCB of the
main thread of Core can't be chosen, it is defined by the kernel.
Possible solutions:
- make virtual address of first thread UTCB configurable in hypervisor
- map the utcb of the first thread inside Core to the desired location
This commit implements the second option.
Kernel patch: make utcb map-able
With the patch the Utcb of the main thread of Core is map-able.
Fixes#374
Noux actually uses the sp variable during thread creation and expects to be
set accordingly. This wasn't the case for the main thread, it was ever set
to the address of the main thread UTCB.
If during the file system iterations in the 'stat()', 'rename()' or
'mkdir()' funtions of the 'Dir_file_system' class any file system
returns an error code other than 'ERR_NO_ENTRY', return immediately.
Fixes#376.
Make sure unlock is called when 'global_mutex' reaches zero count. Add verbose
variable in order to disable some output. Disable irritating 'Overflow' messages
in 'sys_mbox_post' and 'sys_mbox_try_post' per default. This may happen and is
not an error, since the ring buffer is full and will be emptied eventually.
Remove priority from genode_org run script.
Should fix#347
The 'build.mk' file checks if the tool chain to be used supports the
'-static' and '-fno-stack-protector' flags, but this check always fails
for the current Genode tool chain because it cannot create executable
files without explicitly specifying the 'crt0' and library files to be
linked, which the check doesn't.
This patch removes the compiler check.
Fixes#358.
With this patch, when a child exits, all of its open file descriptors get
closed immediately. This is necessary to unblock the parent if it is
trying to read from a pipe (connected to the child) before calling
'wait4()'.
Fixes#357.
Use slab allocators for small object sizes, do it the usual way otherwise.
This patch is related to #363. Using this optimization may be a viable
alternative to switching to the FreeBSD's malloc implementation.
Use 'Nic::Packet_allocator', wait for acknowledgements if packet allocation
fails. Updated 'lwip.run' and 'genode_org.run' to support OMAP4 correctly. Use
memcpy to copy PBUFs
May resolve issue #347
Missing parantheses around the calculation of last byte address in a UDP
Packet led to dereferencing the wrong value, thereby the UDP checksum
calculation failed, whenever an odd byte-count UPD packet was calculated.
Many thanks to Markus Partheymueller who discovered this issue and its
resolution.
