The count value can be used to batch timeouts. I.e., if a periodic
timeout triggered multiple times before the timer had a chance to
process them, the count corresponds to the number of passed periods.
Until now, the HW platform support for the TrustZone features of the
i.MX53 boards could only be used, when adding a "trustzone" SPEC variable
manually. This commit adds a create_builddir target for HW i.MX53 with
TrustZone features enabled, fo convenience reasons.
- Log elapsed time per test in summary
- Command-line switch `--time-stamp` prefixes log output lines with
current time stamp (requires ts utility from Debian package _moreutils_)
Fixes#1156.
A subject that inherits from Processor_client not necessarily has the need for
doing a processor-global TLB flush (e.g. VMs). At the other hand the Thread
class (as representation of the only source of TLB flushes) is already one of
the largest classes in base-hw because it provides all the syscall backends
and should therefore not accumulate other aspects without a functional reason.
Hence, I decided to move the aspect of synchronizing a TLB flush over all
processors to a dedicated class named Processor_domain_update.
Additionally a singleton of Processor_domain_update_list is used to enable
each processor to see all update-domain requests that are currently pending.

and add xml configuration option to switch it on if required. Avoids trouble
on Windows 7 guest where IRQ injected by VMMDev PCI device is not delivered.
If ioapic is required and Windows guest addition "hangs", look in file
DevPCI.cpp, function pciSetIrqInternal, variable fIsApicEnabled. If
config[0xde] == 0xbe
config[0xad] == 0xef
it works. "Deadbeaf" seems to/should be set in ACPI file vbox.dsl. Happens for
unknown reason not on Genode/Nova.

By adding: "--target jtag \
--jtag-debugger <debugger configuration> \
--jtag-board <board configuration>" to the RUN_OPTs
this commits enables the run-tool to load and execute an ELF image
via JTAG to the target platform.
Fixes#1191
Commit 6a3368ee that refactored the mode transition assembler path, and
high-level entry point, fundamentally broke that part for the TrustZone VMs.
Instead of jumping to the appropriated address, the instruction value at that
point where used as target address.
Moreover, the TrustZone part of the mode transition page was not included into
the boundary check.
Ref #1182
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
Depending on 'src_w' and 'dst_w', different lines of a block to copy may be
32-bit aligned or not, so the alignment of each line needs to get checked.
Fixes#1111.
Don't define assembler constants inside macros, thereby calling the
corresponding macros isn't needed anymore. To prevent having to much
constants included in files where they aren't needed, split macros.s
file into a generic mode_transition.s part, and globally used macros.s.
Fix#1180
Previously this was not done before Thread_base::start(..) in
base-hw as it was not needed to have a valid cap that early. However,
when changing the affinity of a thread we need the cap to be valid
before Thread_base::start(..).
fix#1151
By now the scheduling timer was only refreshed for a new scheduling timeout
when the choosen scheduling context has changed. But we want it to be refreshed
also when the scheduled context yields without an effect to the schedulers
choice (this is the case e.g. when the idle thread gets a scheduling timeout
or a thread yields without any competitor in its priority band).
