All the pre- and post-processing of the startup lib around the main
function of a dynamic program is now done by LDSO. Hence LDSO directly
calls the main function of the program.
Issue #1042
Base libraries are already contained within ldso.lib.so. Remove unnecessary
filtering from 'dep_lib.mk', make ldso depend on base libs.
Issue #1017
Issue #989
For a main thread a thread object is created by the CRT0 before _main gets
called so that _main can already run in a generic environment that, e.g.,
catches stack overflows as a page-fault instead of corrupting the BSS.
Additionally dynamic programs have only one CRT0 - the one of the LDSO -
which does the initialization for both LDSO and program.
ref #989
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.
Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:
- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
processes
Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.
Fixes#18
The bash-builtin 'pwd' command uses the 'st_dev' and 'st_ino' members of
the 'stat' struct to compare the path from the 'PWD' environment variable
with the path returned by 'getcwd()'. These members don't get set
correctly in Noux and therefore the 'pwd' command sometimes returns wrong
results when building Genode in Noux. With this patch the 'CURDIR' make
variable gets used instead of calling 'pwd'.
Fixes#454.
