Originally, the spec files for less specific SPEC values were include
via the 'select_from_repositories' function. This implies that BASE_DIR
must always be present in the list of 'REPOSITORIES'. Otherwise the
spec files won't be found. By explicitly including sub specs from
'$(BASE_DIR)/mk', we lift this restriction.
This patch is required to build the OKL4 version of core from a source
archive. It avoids fetching source codes from BASE_DIR, and moves the
vpath wildcard for %.cc after all specific vpath definitins, in
particular those that are x86-specific. Without the latter change, core
would always end up using the generic version of 'platform_services.cc',
omitting the IO_PORT service from core.
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.
When creating a source archive for the USB driver, both the contrib and
Genode-specific source codes are merged into a single directory
structure. In this case, the original way of determining the Linux
source code to scan for #include directives would apply the scanning to
Genode-specific source codes too. This patch tightens the search
criterion such that only Linux source codes are processed.
This macro is implicitly pulled in by libc-setjmp (via the libc's
cdefs.h). However, apparently not all sources include <setjmp.h>.
Unfortunately, for sources that do, this change produces a
double-definition warning. We should fix it by removing the dependency
from the libc's setjmp.
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.
'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.

The information log file contains a list of all log files that are
expected to exist after the autopilot has finished its execution.
By using the '-i' option the default filename of 'autopilot.log'
can be overriden.
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

The size of the whole table and table entries were exchanged for PML4,
leading to out-of-bound accesses for addesses >= 2^39. Some constants
were lacking type suffixes causing integer overflows.
Added assertions to catch out-of-bound accesses early on.

If we do the tics-to-us translation with one division and multiplication
over the whole argument, like before, we loose microseconds granularity
although the timer frequency allows for such granularity. Thus, we treat
the most significant half and the least significant half of the tics
value separate. Each half is shifted to the best bit position for the
translation, then translated, and then shifted back.
Ref #2347
The use of 'select_from_repositories' for locating the linker script for
dynamically-linked executables only works if 'BASE_DIR' appears in the
list of 'REPOSITORIES'. This is the case when using the build system in
the traditional way but it is not desired when building binary archives
of individual components.
This patch adjusts the run script in two ways:
It removes the reliance on init's formerly built-in resource-request
handling by increasing the RAM quota for the backdrop instances. Since
commit "init: explicit response to resource requests", init no longer
hands out slack memory automatically.
Second, it makes sure that the backdrop appears under the precise label
"backdrop" at nitpicker by facilitating init's label-rewriting feature.
Without explicitly setting the label to "backdrop", nitpicker observes
the label "backdrop -> backdrop" (the first part comes from init, the
second part comes from the nitpicker-session argument specified by
backdrop itself). However, the client is only considered as default
background if labeled as "backdrop" (see nitpicker's '_create_session')
implementation.
