- search for alternative virtual address regions upwards, starting from
the given start address, in the 'l4re_rm_attach()' and
'Region_manager::reserve_range()' functions
- don't treat memory locations above 0x80000000 in l4linux's virtual
address space as device memory
- align the start address of the vmalloc area according to the assumption
in 'devicemaps_init()'
Fixes#414.
Open VCPU interrupts while the VCPU is in an IPC operation can badly influence
its state. That's why this commit fixes a whole bunch of places, where IRQs
weren't masked by now.
Certain symbols from the libgcc_eh library in cxx that is linked with the
L4Linux kernel were resolved by using kernel internal implementations.
This lead to errors because the complete Linux kernel is built regparm=3.
This patch prefixes the appropriate symbols in the Linux Kernel and its
modules. Moreover, it fixes some warnings introduced by the latest update
to gcc 4.7.
This commit comprises the following changes to enable L4Linux to use several
CPUs:
* change default configuration for x86 and ARM
* add atomic cmpxchg operation to l4re library
* implement l4_sleep (per thread)
* enable setting affinity for VCPUs and IRQs
* move "per CPU" section within linker-script (x86 only)
* introduce SMP run-script for pandaboard
* deactivate direct scheduler (Fiasco.OC syscall) access by L4Linux
Make calls using IPCs IRQ safe, handle packet exhaustion, removed
'Packet_pool', tweak TCP rmem and wmem buffer sizes to show better performance
results, use 'Net::Packet_allocator, fix 'update-patch' Makefile command
