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.
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.
By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.
r3 contains the recent Nova upstream kernel version plus the Genode specific
extensions and changes as known from r2.
Additionally, the r3 branch
* contains the assign_pci patch now directly,
* adds support for cross CPU IPC,
* fixes some issues with freeing up kernel memory part of r2 and
* update the documentation a bit.
Fixes#814
* read out supported number of CPUs
* start per CPU a thread
* monitor by main thread liveness of remote CPU threads
* add a round variable
* terminate run script after a specific round or after 90s
* on qemu wait 5 rounds, on native runs 40
Add run script to autopilot list
Issue #814
This avoids a deadlock if during issuing a printf the low level IPC fails.
. Printf uses an address space local lock and if we are trying again
to make a printf we deadlock forever ...
This patch eliminates the "no attachment at..." warnings, which
were caused by a use-after-free problem of dataspaces. When a
dataspace was destroyed, the users of the dataspace were not
informed and therefore could not revert possible attachments to
RM sessions. The fix introduces a callback mechanism that allows
dataspace users (i.e., RM regions) to register for the event that
a dataspace vanishes.
The following types of dataspaces are handled:
* RAM dataspaces
* ROM dataspaces
* The process binary
* The binary of the dynamic linker
* Args dataspace
* Sysio dataspace
* Env dataspace
* managed RM dataspaces
The handling of ROM dataspaces is still not complete. When forking,
the ROM dataspace of the parent process gets just reused without
creating proper meta data ('Dataspace_info') for the forked process.
Similar issues might arise from other special dataspaces (e.g.,
args, env, sysio).
This patch removes all "no attachment at..." warnings except for
one (an attachment at 0).
Issue #485
The 'check_dev_tty()' function calls 'ttyname()', which calls the pthread
stub function 'pthread_main_np()', which prints a 'not implemented'
message. Calling 'check_dev_tty()' doesn't seem to be necessary, so this
patch removes the call.
Issue #815.
With this patch, the 'not implemented' messages of the pthread function
stubs always get printed to the Genode log console instead of stdout.
Issue #815.
Previous commit denies the creation of regions larger then the dataspace.
Noux does it by setting the default size to the dataspace size without
subtracting the offset.
Fixes#591
The rm_session implementation expects that offset + size must be
part of one dataspace. Unfortunately the parameters are not checked
properly during an rm::attach.
During an detach memory behind the actual region can be unmapped by such
bogus region entries.
Issues #591
Since RM sessions can be used as dataspaces and dataspace sizes are
supposed to have page granularity, RM session sizes should have page
granularity, too.
Fixes#799.
Forgetting to restore the old utcb content results in hard to debug bugs.
Save only the amount of word items which are actually on the UTCB.
Issue #806
Avoids the message
cxx: operator delete (void *) called - not implemented. A working implementation is available in the 'stdcxx' library
during a " new ..." which causes exceptions. Happens for seoul in disk.cc
Issue #806
The Rpc_exit call is delivered via RPC which results in a deadlock
if the Rpc_entrypoint has not been started yet. To prevent this
situation we active the Rpc_entrypoint explicitly before we call
Rpc_exit.
Fixes#811.
