Implement shared IRQs using 'Irq_proxy' class.
Nova: Added global worker 'Irq_thread' support in core and adapted Irq_session.
FOC: Adapted IRQ session code, x86 has shared IRQ support, ARM uses the old
model. Read and set 'mode' argument (from MADT) in 'Irq_session'.
OKL4: Use generic 'Irq_proxy'
Fixes issue #390
This patch introduces the functions 'affinity' and 'num_cpus' to the CPU
session interface. The interface extension will allow the assignment of
individual threads to CPUs. At this point, it is just a stub with no
actual platform support.
With this patch clients of the RM service can state if they want a mapping
to be executable or not. This allows dataspaces to be mapped as
non-executable on Linux by default and as executable only if needed.
Partially fixes#176.
The 'copy_to' function turned out to be not flexible enough to
accommodate the Noux fork mechanism. This patch removes the function,
adds an accessor for the capability destination and a compound type
'Native_capability::Raw' to be used wherever plain capability
information must be communicated.
This commit unifies the policy name for the template argument for
Native_capability_tpl to Cap_dst_policy, like suggested by Norman in the
discussion resulting from issue #145. Moreover, it takes the memcpy
operation for copying a Native_capability out of the template, which is
included by a significant bunch of files, and separates it in a library,
analog to the suggestion in issue #145.
Because we use to pass a policy class to 'Native_capability_tpl'
we can pass the dst type as part of the policy instead of as
a separate template argument. This patch also adds documentation
of the POLICY interface as expected by 'Native_capability_tpl'.
This patch unifies the Native_capability classes for the different kernel
platforms by introducing an appropriate template, and eliminating naming
differences. Please refer issue #145.
To give the platform developer more freedom in how the Native_capability
class is internally implemented (e.g. turning it into a smart-pointer),
this patch removes the memcpy operation, when transfering the parent-capability
to a new process from the generic code, and let the implementation of the
platform-specific Native_capability decide how the transfer has to be done.
Please refer to issue #144.
Introduce a factory-, and dereference method for local capabilities. These are
capabilities that reference objects of services, which are known to be used
protection-domain internally only. To support the new Capability class methods
a protected constructor and accessor to the local object's pointer is needed
in the platform's capability base-classes. For further discussion details please
refer issue #139.
When an invalid opcode gets executed, OKL4 switches to the kernel debugger
console instead of sending an exception IPC to the userland. This patch
fixes the problem by removing the code that invokes the debugger console.
This patch fixes#95.
