To prevent multiple execution of main-bootstrap, I moved the code to a
statically initialized object. The reason for this change is that
_main() is exeuted twice when starting dynamic binaries. Now, the object
is part of the base-common library which is linked with ld.lib.so.
By now Signal_session_component has allocated initial SLAB
blocks in constructor, wich crashed with the root
components assumptions about the RAM quota needs of
session creation. Thus, if the background allocator was already
exhausted from component allocation the session was created
with broken initial SLAB blocks.
fix#574
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.
By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.
This patch moves the implementation of the 'Arm::memory_region_attr'
function from the generic ARM code to the ARM v6/v7 specific code
to enable the customization of page-table bits depending on the
specific CPU core type. I.e., the ARM1176 apparently does not cope
well with setting the 'Tex::bits(2)' for MMIO mappings.
This patch eliminates calls of 'cmpxchg' prior enabling the MMU. This is
needed because the 'ldrex' and 'strex' instructions do not always work
with MMU and L1 cache disabled, i.e., on Raspberry Pi.
The new core-internal 'Address_space' interface enables cores RM service
to flush mappings of a PD in which a given 'Rm_client' thread resides.
Prior this patch, each platform invented their own way to flush mappings
in the respective 'rm_session_support.cc' implementation. However, those
implementations used to deal poorly with some corner cases. In
particular, if a PD session was destroyed prior a RM session, the RM
session would try to use no longer existing PD session. The new
'Address_space' uses the just added weak-pointer mechanism to deal with
this issue.
Furthermore, the generic 'Rm_session_component::detach' function has
been improved to avoid duplicated unmap operations for platforms that
implement the 'Address_space' interface. Therefore, it is related to
issue #595. Right now, this is OKL4 only, but other platforms will follow.
