The CML2 configuration system calls 'evn python' and expects version
2.x. So we check if python2 is installed when preparing Pistachio and
use the found version instead.
Fixes#264.
Some type size tests in the findutils source code expect the 'time_t' type
to be of the same size as the 'long' type, whereas the Genode libc defines
it as '__int64_t' for ARM. This patch disables these tests.
Fixes#262.
Eliminate prints to stderr for normal messages, because it leads to exceptional
returns in TCL-scripts e.g. when run-script is triggered by the autopilot even
if the script's return code itself will be zero.
In the create_builddir script the foc_x86_64 platform was missing
when adding x86-drivers to the etc/build.conf file. This lead to
failed run-scripts initiated by the autopilot tool.
The compiler complained about ambigous references when compiling a
lx_hybrid program using the loader session. Here are some error
messages:

This commit qualifies size_t using the Genode namespace which fixes
the compilation.
Make pxe optional and use by default grub.
For that to work we use objcopy to repack the elf64
file into elf32.
With this commit more tests succeed. Most
tests use 64M and with that pulsar even does not start
the hypervisor. With 96M more test run however that would
mean to adjust most of the run scripts ...
Without this patch the compilation failed with:

For this patch the use of the hardening tool chain must be indicated
using the "hardening_tool_chain" SPECS entry within the file
<build>/etc/specs.conf
Fixes#79
Check that there is enough room for a typed item on the
UTCB. Otherwise deny to add the item and return false.
Enable explicitly a return unused warning to get the right
attention.
The UTCB of the thread cleaning up thread objects has been unmapped.
However the UTCB of the destroyed thread must be unmapped.
Objects must explicitly be made unreachable before cleaning up. The
server and pager objects must be unreachable before they can be freed.
Both object types are threads. Revoking the thread(EC) cap on NOVA
doesn't mean that the thread stops executing. All portals pointing to a
thread are still reachable by clients even if the last EC cap is gone in
user land. So it must be taken care that no portals are pointing anymore
to a thread when the associated objects are getting destroyed. This
commit handles this.
Additionally, even if the last portal is gone - there can be still an
ongoing request handled by such server/pager object/threads. For each
such object an additional portal is created. This object is called
'cleanup portal' and is only local to the object. After all portals are
revoked the cleanup portal is called. When the call returns we know that
nobody is anymore handled by the object since all remotely available
portals are gone.
Fixes#20
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode
Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.
On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.
In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)
Fixes#233, fixes#234
In 'Fs_file_system::open()' the call of '_fs.dir()' can throw a
'File_system::Lookup_failed' exception, which gets explicitly caught
with this patch.
Fixes#246.
This patch adds a new "terminal" file system type to Noux, which allows to
create a "character device" file that is connected to a Genode 'Terminal'
service.
The 'Terminal' session created by the file system has the label
"noux(terminal_fs)" to distinguish it from the 'Terminal' session
created by Noux itself.
Fixes#244.
This patch extends the RAM session interface with the ability to
allocate DMA buffers. The client specifies the type of RAM dataspace to
allocate via the new 'cached' argument of the 'Ram_session::alloc()'
function. By default, 'cached' is true, which correponds to the common
case and the original behavior. When setting 'cached' to 'false', core
takes the precautions needed to register the memory as uncached in the
page table of each process that has the dataspace attached.
Currently, the support for allocating DMA buffers is implemented for
Fiasco.OC only. On x86 platforms, it is generally not needed. But on
platforms with more relaxed cache coherence (such as ARM), user-level
device drivers should always use uncacheable memory for DMA transactions.
