This patch unifies the core-internal 'Mapping' type across all base
platforms.
As one minor downside on seL4, the diagnostic error messages when
observing faults other than page faults no longer print the faulting
thread and PD names.
Issue #2243
- Enable the "platform-level interrupt controller" PLIC on base-hw
- The RISC-V specification offers only a register description, but no
layout for the register set. This implies the layout is platform
dependent, and therefore, implemented separately for Qemu
issue #4042
With this patch, the board/<name>/arch property file can have multiple
lines where each line denotes an instruction-set architecture supported
for the board.
Issue #4019Fixes#4034
Simplify calculation of Timer::_duration, the old implementation caused
the time running backwards sometimes. This makes
'nic_router_dhcp_*' and 'event_filter' run scripts succeed.
issue #4021
Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.
issue #4027
This patch simplifies the packaging of the base-hw kernel for a given
board, in particular when the board support is hosted as an external
repository such as genode-world. Regardless of where the board-support
is hosted, the content.mk file becomes as simple as:
include $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/base-hw/recipes/src/base-hw_content.inc
The board name is automatically inferred from the path of the src
recipe. The architecture is determined from board/<name>/arch files,
following the pattern of the image_link_address. The attempt to build a
base-hw-<board> binary archive for the wrong architecture is now
gracefully handled by skipping all targets (using the REQUIRES
mechanism).
Besides the improved convenience, the patch results in depot archives
that are much closer tailored to the actual board by omitting files for
architectures that are not used by the board. E.g., the src/base-hw-pc
archive does not contain any ARM-related content.
The patch also restores the package builds for core/bootstrap object
files as a follow-up fix of "base: remove SPEC variables of boards",
which happened to left 'BOARD' undefined in the src archives.
Fixes#4019
- remove Spike/BBL support in favour of Qemu (>=4.2.1)
- add 'riscv_qemu' board, remove 'spike' board'
- update to privileged ISA v1.10 (from v1.9.1)
- use direct system calls for privileged core threads (they call into
the kernel and don't use mode changing system calls, i.e. 'ecall',
semantics)
- use 'OpenSBI' semtantics for SBI calls (to machine mode) instead of
BBL
issue #4012
Improve consistency with the other base repositories, in particular
- Indentation of class initializers
- Vertical whitespace around control-flow statements
- Preferably place control-flow statements (return, break, continue) at
beginning of a line
- Placing the opening brace of a namespace at the end of line
- Placing the opening brace of a class at a new line
- Removing superfluous braces around single statements
- Two empty lines between methods/functions in implementation files
This patch moves the bootstrap-link-address information from the
tool/run/boot_dir/hw file to board-specific property files that can be
accessed by using the board as key. This eliminates the need to
customize boot_dir/hw when hosting board-support in an external
repository.
Fixes#3998
The _crt0_start_stack label points to a memory location containing the
size of the bootstrap stack. On AArch64 this should be an 8 byte value,
but the code only only defines half of those using asm .long statement.
The other half is expected to be 0, which is true when using GNU as.
This is not the case when using clang's integrated as however. Since
_crt0_stack_size is defined inside .text section clang uses 0xd503201f
value (aarch64 nop instruction) to fill the extra 4 bytes.
Fix this minor incompatibility by explicitly defining both halfs of
this 8 byte quantity.
Fixes#3987
Avoid use of REP_DIR in *.mk files to simplify the use of these files as
templates for a board hosted in a separate repository.
Use REP_INC_DIR for searching headers, thereby considering headers
hosted in an external repository.
Issue #3168
* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
In case of arm_v7a Kernel::call64 the syscall will use both r0 and r1 as
output registers. Unfortunately the inline asm does not reflect this and
only r0 is explicitly specified as output. GCC manages to produce output
which we'd like to see. Clang on the other hand takes adventage of the fact
r1 should not be touched by swi and produces fewer instructions which do
what the code describes, but not what we actually want.
Basically the code which we want and is generated by GCC is:
svc 0
mov r2, r0
mov r0, r1
mov r1, r2
bx lr
Clang on the other hand generates correct assembly given the code, but
incorrect given what the function is supposed to do:
svc 0
mov r1, r0
mov r0, #0
bx lr
Both GCC and clang generate the same, expected assembly output when r1
is marked as output register from the inline asm swi call.
Fixes#3951
Right now the code marks specific instance of this function as noreturn.
It then tries to initialize it using a value that has the same type,
except for the noreturn part. GCC does not care, but clang complains this
technically assigns the value of entry from incompatible pointer type.
Fix this by defining Entry function as no return.
Issue #3938
The lambda function passed to Board::Vm_page_table_array does not
actually use "this" for anything. GCC does not warn about this, but
clang does. Remove the extra capture to make clang happy.
Issue #3938
GCC doesn't care, but clang complains if [[fallthrough]] is not followed
by a semicolon. Existing code is also not consitent in this regard. Lets
just fix it to make clang happy.
Issue #3938
* Introduce hypervisor-stack per CPU
* Introduce host world context per CPU
* Mark EL2 translation table memory as inner shareable
* The VMID is not bound to a single VCPU, but to the Vm_session as a whole
* Set affinity of the VCPU accordingly
* Add VMPIDR to VM state
Ref #3926
Instead of calling core to run/pause a VCPU, go directly to the kernel.
Apart from the performance win, it would otherwise involve a more complex
protocol, when a VCPU on another core has to be removed from the scheduler.
Core's entrypoint handling those request runs on the boot-cpu only.
Ref #3926
To enable the interaction of a VMM with the kernel directly,
a hidden RPC gets introduced. It allows a kernel-specific
base-library implementation of the Vm_session::Client to request
a kernel-specific capability to address a VCPU, e.g., to
run/stop it.

Adjust the base-* platforms to acknowledge new thread location solely if
migration is supported and succeeded. Otherwise the wrong thread
locations are observed via the trace session and utilization time calculation
get wrong.
