Until now, the rumpkernel based tools were installed with all symbols
included. This accounts for about 200MiB used space on 64Bit system.
Stripping the binaries prior to installation brings the space
requirements down to 20MiB.
Fixes#1245.
The clean rule is used to delete already built binaries as well as to
clean-up any left-overs from previous build attempts. If there was
no previous attempt just return true to prevent make from complaining.
Fixes#1245.
Before the pointer handling was removed from the nitpicker server, the
pointer was always the first view, which was skipped in the find_view
function. However, since we support pointer-less operation by now, we
have to consider all views starting with the top-most one.
The port was succesfully tested a echo test and lighttpd. DHCP over
OpenVPN is not tested and probably will not work out of the box.
Therefore, the ip address etc. need to be specified manually.
For now, only ethernet bridging (using a TAP device) is supported.
Fixes#1235.
This commit adds a port the jitterentropy library to Genode. As
backend on x86_{32,64} 'rdtsc' is used and on ARMv{6,7} the
performance-counter.
Fixes#1239.
These file systems are provided on-demand by loading a shared library
when the fstab node is traversed. By convention this library is named
after the file system it provides. For example a file system that
provides a 'random' file system node is called 'vfs_random.lib.so'. It
is still possible to give the the node another name in the vfs. The
following code snippts illustrates this matter:
! [...]
! <config>
! <libc>
! <vfs>
! <dir name="dev"> <jitterentropy name="random"/> </dir>
! </vfs>
! </libc>
! </config>
! [...]
Here the jitterentropy file system, implemented in
'vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so' provides a file system node named 'random'
in the 'dev' directory. When traversing the vfs section the libc will
try to load 'vfs_jitterentropy.lib.so' but programs may access the
file system only via '/dev/random'.
Fixes#1240.
This patch fixes a potential race condition that could happen if a
client connects to nitpicker before the signal for the import of the
initial configuration was delivered. In this case, nitpicker would be
unable to assign a domain to the session (because this information comes
from the configuration), rendering subsequent calls to 'mode' invalid.
The patch solves this problem by manually calling the signal handler
for importing the configuration.
This provides bootable disk images for x86 platforms via
! RUN_OPT="--target disk"
The resulting disk image contains one ext2 partition with binaries from
the GRUB2 boot loader and the run scenario. The default disk size fits
all binaries, but is configurable via
! --disk-size <size in MiB>
in RUN_OPT.
The feature depends on an grub2-head.img, which is part of the commit,
but may also be generated by executing tool/create_grub2. The script
generates a disk image prepared for one partition, which contains files
for GRUB2. All image preparation steps that need superuser privileges
are conducted by this script.
The final step of writing the entire image to a disk must be executed
later by
sudo dd if=<image file> of=<device> bs=8M conv=fsync
Fixes#1203.
After modifying mode transition for branch prediction tz_vmm wasn't
working anymore on hw_imx53_tz but the modifications had nothing to do
with the VM code. However, the amount of instructions in the MT before the
VM exception-vector changed. So I tried stuffing the last working version with
NOPs and found that tz_vmm worked for some NOP amounts and for others not.
Thus, I increased the alignment of the VM exception-vector from 16 bytes to 32
bytes, é voila, its working with any amount of NOPs as well as with branch
prediction commits.
