This has been broken for a while now. Use correct (global) signal transmission,
do not use local signal transmission, as signals seems to get lost.
Issue #1310
This patch changes the Shared_object::lookup function to use a
reinterpret_cast instead of a static_cast to allow the conversion
from symbol addresses to arbitrary pointers.
By blocking on a timeout, we yield the CPU in order to give a
concurrently running sporadic process a chance to obtain ROM modules.
Otherwise, such requests would be deferred until the ROM prefetcher
completes its operation or in the unlikely event that the prefetcher
gets preempted.
Fixes#1378
The linker scripts use to fill alignment gaps within the text section
with the magic value 0x90909090, which correponds to the opcodes of four
nop instructions on x86. This patch removes this value because it
apparently solves no problem. If, for some reason (e.g., due to a dangling
pointer) a thread executes instructions within alignment paddings, NOP
instructions are not any better than any other instruction. The program
will eventually execute the instructions after the padding, which is
most likely fatal. It would be more reasonable to fill the padding with
the opcode of an illegal instruction so that such an error can be
immediately detected. That said, I cannot remember a single instance,
where the fill value has helped us during debugging.
Even if the mechanism served a purpose on x86, it is still better to
remove it because it does not equally work on the other architectures
where the linker scripts are used. I.e., on ARM, the opcode 0x90909090
is not a NOP instruction.
The patch supports both, a download-specific UNZIP_OPT(download) and a
general UNZIP_OPT that can be defined across downloads.
UNZIP_OPT(download) overrides UNZIP_OPT.
Note, the `--strip-components=1` argument is not required for unzip.
Issue #1357
If newlines are in the string send to the core log service, they don't get
the label properly appended before each output. The messages then look like
they are coming from core.
Fixes#1368
Be less verbose regards warnings caused by vmx_invalid exits - which triggers
on T400 more often because it has no Unrestricted Guest support. This leads
to lot of log messages so that the test does not succeed in time. Additionally,
the virtualbox_auto_disk.run script is adjusted to check for some output to
exit earlier if something went wrong.
Fixes#1367
Workaround for issue #1343. By disabling the 'vpid' feature of the nova
kernel several VMs can be used concurrently. Applies for Seoul and VirtualBox.

Fixes#1345.
Instead of fixing the missing dynamic facilities of the AHCI driver
backends for x86 and Exynos5, just avoid to create/destroy the backend
for every new connection, but always use one and the same object.
The AHCI drivers need to be re-written anyway, see issue #1352 for instance,
we can make it more robust for the dynamic case then.

This has to be used during shared object creation and destruction because global
lists are manipulated. We cannot use the 'Elf_object::lock' here because there
may be jump-slot relocations during object initialization.
Fixes#1350
When building Genode for VEA9X4 as micro-hypervisor protected by the ARM
TrustZone hardware we ran into limitations regarding our basic daily
testing routines. The most significant is that, when speaking about RAM
partitioning, the only available options are to configure the whole SRAM
to be secure and the whole DDR-RAM to be non-secure or vice versa. The
SRAM however provides only 32 MB which isn't enough for both a
representative non-secure guest OS or a secure Genode that is still
capable of passing our basic tests. This initiated our decision to
remove the VEA9X4 TrustZone-support.
Fixes#1351
