The <build-dir>/bin/ directory used to contain symbolic links to the
unstripped build results. However, since the upcoming depot tool
extracts the content of binary archives from bin/, the resulting
archives would contain overly large unstripped binaries, which is
undesired. On the other hand, always stripping the build results is not
a good option either because we rely of symbol information during
debugging.
This patch changes the installation of build results such that a new
'debug/' directory is populated besides the existing 'bin/' directory.
The debug directory contains symbolic links to the unstripped build
results whereas the bin directory contains stripped binaries that are
palatable for packaging (depot tool) and for assembling boot images (run
tool).
By installing the core object to bin/, we follow the same convention as
for regular binaries. This, in turn, enables us to ship core in a
regular binary archive. The patch also adjusts the run tool to pick up
the core object from bin/ for the final linking stage.
'unzip' can uncompress and load raw multiboot images and ELF files.
Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running the muen hypervisor
together with a Genode/x86_64 VM, where the raw boot image is typically quite
large.

Debian has dropped mkisofs long time ago, hence hardcoding it prevents
Genode from being built on Debian easily. This patch makes the tool
configurable (defaulting to mkisofs). Building on Debian can then be
done by something like:
ISOTOOL=genisoimage make run/foobar

We call curl a second time if the first check fails. This gives download

Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap
the kernel resp. core.
Ref #2092
Instead of implicitly asking for core's link address when linking
core within the run tool, deliver it explicitly to the build_core
routine. Thereby we gain the freedom to use the build_core tool for
different targets like core, and bootstrap.

This test reproduces an issue of the VFS block file system when the
underlying block device has a coarser granularity than the block
requests issued by the VFS client. I.e., if the underlying block device
has a block size of 4K, writing a sequence of (non-4K-aligned) 512 blocks
that crosss a 4K boundary corrupts the data on the block device.

Ref #2190
This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.
To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.
This commit adds support for testing multiple kernels within the same
build directory. In addition to the existing -p arguments, the new
version expects one or more -k arguments that denote the kernels to be
used for executing the specified run scripts.
Consequently, the autopilot executes the 3-dimensional matrix of
platforms x kernels x run scripts, e.g.,
autopilot --force -p x86_32 -k nova -k okl4 -k sel4 -k linux -r log
Issue #2190
This patch makes the benefit of the recently introduced unified Genode
ABI available to developers by enabling the use of multiple kernels from
within a single build directory. The create_builddir tool has gained a
new set of kernel-agnostic platform arguments such as x86_32, or panda.
Most build targets within directories are in principle compatible with
all kernels that support the selected hardware platform. To execute a
scenario via the run tool, one has to select the kernel to use by
setting the 'KERNEL' argument in the build configuration
(etc/build.conf). Alternatively, the 'KERNEL' can be specified as
command-line argument of the Genode build system, e.g.:
make run/log KERNEL=nova
This allows us to easily switch from one kernel to another without
rebuilding any Genode component except for the very few kernel-specific
ones.
The new version of the 'create_builddir' tool is still compatible with
the old version. The old kernel-specific build directories can still be
created. However, those variants will eventually be removed.
Note that the commit removes the 'ports-foc' repository from the
generated 'build.conf' files. As this is only meaningful for 'foc',
I did not want to include it in the list of regular repositories (as
visible in a 'x86_32' build directory). Hence, the repository must
now be manually added in order to use L4Linux.
Issue #2190
This patch removes possible ambiguities with respect to the naming of
kernel-dependent binaries and libraries. It also removes the use of
kernel-specific global side effects from the build system. The reach of
kernel-specific peculiarities has thereby become limited to the actual
users of the respective 'syscall-<kernel>' libraries.
Kernel-specific build artifacts are no longer generated at magic places
within the build directory (like okl4's includes, or the L4 build
directories of L4/Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, or the build directories of
various kernels). Instead, such artifacts have been largely moved to the
libcache. E.g., the former '<build-dir>/l4/' build directory for the L4
build system resides at '<build-dir>/var/libcache/syscall-foc/build/'.
This way, the location is unique to the kernel. Note that various tools
are still generated somewhat arbitrarily under '<build-dir>/tool/' as
there is no proper formalism for building host tools yet.
As the result of this work, it has become possible to use a joint Genode
build directory that is usable with all kernels of a given hardware
platform. E.g., on x86_32, one can now seamlessly switch between linux,
nova, sel4, okl4, fiasco, foc, and pistachio without rebuilding any
components except for core, the kernel, the dynamic linker, and the timer
driver. At the current stage, such a build directory must still be
created manually. A change of the 'create_builddir' tool will follow to
make this feature easily available.
This patch also simplifies various 'run/boot_dir' plugins by removing
the option for an externally hosted kernel. This option remained unused
for many years now.
Issue #2190
This patch decouples the kernel-specific implementation of the dynamic
linker from its kernel-agnostic binary interface. The name of the
kernel-specific dynamic linker binary now corresponds to the kernel,
e.g., 'ld-linux.lib.so' or 'ld-nova.lib.so'. Applications are no longer
linked directly against a concrete instance of the dynamic linker but
against a shallow stub called 'ld.lib.so'. This stub contains nothing
but the symbols provided by the dynamic linker. It thereby represents
the Genode ABI.
At system-integration time, the kernel-specific run/boot_dir back ends
integrate the matching the kernel-specific variant of the dynamic linker
as 'ld.lib.so' into the boot image.
The ABI symbol file for the dynamic linker is located at
'base/lib/symbols/ld'. It contains the joint ABI of all supported
architectures. The new utility 'tool/abi_symbols' eases the creation of
such an ABI symbol file for a given shared library. Its result should be
manually inspected and edited as needed.
The patch removes the 'syscall' library from 'base_libs.mk' to avoid
polluting the kernel-agnostic ABI with kernel-specific interfaces.

Instead of solving the problem to deliver ROM modules to core while booting
differently for the several kernels (multi-boot, elfweaver, core re-linking),
this commit unifies the approaches. It always builds core as a library, and
after all binaries are built from a run-script, the run-tool will link an
ELF image out of the core-library and all boot modules. Thereby, core can
access its ROM modules directly.
This approach now works for all kernels except Linux.
With this solution, there is no [build_dir]/bin/core binary available anymore.
For debugging purposes you will find a core binary without boot modules, but
with debug symbols under [run_dir].core.

Issue #2044
When running the same kernel in a VM as on the host system and the
kernel boot message from the VM appears on the log output, the run tool
assumes that the host machine has rebooted unexpectedly. With this
commit, an unexpected reboot is assumed only if the kernel boot message
appears at the beginning of a line. On base-hw, we enforce a line feed
at the beginning of the boot message as the SPIKE emulator log starts
with the first message of the kernel lacking a line feed.
Fixes#2041
This patch equips the build system with the feature of building an
individual library with its dependencies by specifying the library
as 'LIB' argument. E.g., 'make LIB=libc' builds the libc.
This is a generalisation approach of the hw_zynq target. As the boards
typically use UART1 instead of UART0 (used by qemu), we have to
distinguish between those. Moreover, in general hw_zynq does not imply
zynq_qemu anymore, so that the support of particular boards can be
placed in third-party or community repositories (e.g. Genode world).
Fixes#1926
If ports need preparation in order to execute a run script, use the
