Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
This patch fixes a problem in the non-const 'for_each' method of the
'Registry' data structure. If an exception was thrown from within the
functor of the 'for_each' operation, the not yet processed items of the
registry were dropped from the registry, which is not expected.
The Ada runtime can now be set with the ADA_RTS variable. The ada
library builds a (currently) minimal runtime from the gcc sources that
come with Genode (to stay consistent with the used compiler) and sets
the runtime path accordingly. It is build as a shared library ada.lib.so
which needs to be added to the build files.
I split the existing Ada test into program and library, and moved it
to libports as it depends on the runtime library residing in this
repository too.
Fixes#2748
Switch port I/O based PCI config space access to memory-mapped IO. The
base address of the PCI configuration space is acquired by mapping the
ACPI ROM and reading the first <bdf> node. An exception is thrown if the
first <bdf> node is not for PCI domain zero or if multiple <bdf> nodes
exist. This is to reduce complexity and also because multiple PCI
domains are rare.
The PCI configuration space is accessed via I/O mem dataspace which is
created in the platform_drv root and then passed on to the PCI session,
device components and finally to the actual PCI config access instances.
The memory access code is implemented in a way to make it work with Muen
subject monitor (SM) device emulation and also general x86 targets. On
Muen, the simplified device emulation code (which works also for Linux)
always returns 0xffff in EAX to indicate a non-existing device.
Therefore, EAX is enforced in the assembly templates.
Fixes#2547
On platforms without nic or audio driver support, the corresponding
functions to return the correct names should return a meaningful
name instead of an empty list. Otherwise, in an erroneous run-script
that calls those functions to append names to the boot modules
the whole 'bin' directory is appended instead, which leads to big
image files or errors when linking the boot modules to core.
As noted above the former enum for the local-attachment address we
discovered address clashes on current Linux installations, esp. 32-bit
runtime on 64-bit Linux. The local_attach_addr is now configurable in
the run script and the memory maps heuristics were removed.
When building Genode on a Linux system running in a Xen Dom0, the 'xen'
run target can run a Genode scenario in a Xen DomU.
Usage: in build/x86_*/etc/build.conf, define:
RUN_OPT = --include boot_dir/$(KERNEL) --include image/iso --include power_on/xen --include log/xen --include power_off/xen
The Xen DomU runs in HVM mode and loads Genode from an ISO image. Serial
log output is printed to the console and graphical output is shown in an
SDL window.
The Xen DomU ist managed using the 'xl' command line tool and it is
possible to add configuration options in the 'xen_args' variable in a run
script. Common options are:
- disabling the graphical output:
append xen_args { sdl="0" }
- configuring a network device:
append xen_args { vif=\["model=e1000,mac=02:00:00:00:01:01,bridge=xenbr0"\] }
- configuring USB input devices:
append xen_args { usbdevice=\["mouse","keyboard"\] }
Note: the 'xl' tool requires super-user permissions and interactive
password input can be troublesome in combination with 'expect' and is not
practical for automatic tests. For this reason, the current implementation
assumes that no password input is needed when running 'sudo xl', which can
be achieved by creating a file '/etc/sudoers.d/xl' with the content
'user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/xl'
(where 'user' is the Linux user name).
Fixes#2504
The implementations of the lock and C++ guards tests depend on
thread-execution priorities, which produces false negatives of the whole
thread test on platforms without priority support.
