This patch replaces the exception-based error propagation by the use of
'Attempt' return values, which eliminates side effects of the exception
handling - cxx_heap allocations - from code paths that are used by the
the cxx_heap itself (when growing the cxx_heap).
It thereby fixes the failure of the sub_rm test at the "attach RAM ds to
any position at sub rm - this should fail" step.
Fixes#4953
This patch replaces the global '_wait_for_exit_sem' object by a local
static variable, which does not rely on the global ctors. It thereby
fixes the fault_detection test after the removal of the global ctors
execution from core ("base: remove component.cc from core").
Issue #4784
This patch removes the use of the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism
and the call of glibc's exit from the lx_hybrid tests, for two reasons.
First, the interplay of atexit handlers executed by the glibc and
Genode's lx_hybrid library is complicated while bringing no benefits in
practice as lx_hybrid applications are usually servers that don't exit
anyway.
Second, the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism in not used by any
other component. By removing its use from the lx_hybrid tests, we can
remove this mechanism from the base library.
Issue #4940
By supplying only the parts of the Env that are actually relevant for
initializing the cxx heap, we avoid the need for the 'Env' interface.
The patch also moves the call of 'init_ldso_phdr' to the outside
of the cxx library because it does not belong there.
Issue #4784
By splitting the 'init_capability_slab()' implementation to a separate
compilation unit 'capability_slab.cc', base-hw no longer needs a
customized version of 'lib/base/platform.cc'.
Related to issue #4784
This patch replaces the internal use 'env_deprecated()' from the
implementation of the thread API in the base library. It also
replaces the global accessor 'main_thread_cap' by the explicit
propagation of the main-thread's capability to the single point of
use via a new 'init_thread_bootstap' function.
Issue #4784
The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific
component-local low-level initialization. It allows for the
differentiation between core and regular components as well as
kernel-dependent peculiarities.
This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial
stack.
Issue #4784
The namespace draws a clear line between the base library and the core
component.
It is declared at the new core-local header <types.h>, which is expected
to be included by all code of the core component. It is thereby a
natural place for kernel-agnostic general types like commonly used C++
utilities.
Fixes#4777
Tracing must be inhibited in attach/detach as RPC trace points may
trigger attachment of trace dataspaces, which would result in nested
mutex acquisition.
This prevents errors in test-trace_logger like follows.
[init -> depot_autopilot] 0.140 [init -> dynamic_rom] Error: deadlock ahead, mutex=0x500e6f00, return ip=0x50053ed7
Fixes#4607
The 'base-linux' API is used by hybrid Genode/Linux programs for the
lx_hybrid library. This API archive happend to contain other libraries -
like seccomp - that are solely needed for building core. With the change
of the build system in issue #4599, the build system would attempt to
build all libraries instead of merely the library dependencies of the
available targets. Hence, it would trigger the build of, e.g., the
seccomp library for each user of the base-linux API.
This patch avoids these superfluous build steps by pruning the content
of lib/mk/ to the libraries actually needed for lx_hybrid users.
