Replace the use of the global 'core_env()' accessor by the explicit
delegation of interfaces.
- For allocating UTCBs in base-hw, 'Platform_thread' requires
a way to allocate dataspaces ('Ram_allocator') accounted to the
corresponding CPU session, a way to locally map the allocated
dataspaces (core's 'Region_map'), and a way to determine the
physical address (via 'Rpc_entrypoint') used for the initial
UTCB mapping of main threads. Hence those interfaces must be
passed to 'Platform_thread'.
- NOVA's pager code needs to look up 'Cpu_thread_component'
objects using a map item as key. The lookup requires the
'Rpc_entrypoint' that hold the 'Cpu_thread_component' objects.
To make this 'Rpc_entrypoint' available, this patch adds
the 'init_page_fault_handing' function.
- The 'Region_map_mmap' for Linux requires a way to look up
'Linux_dataspace' objects for given dataspace capabilities.
This lookup requires the 'Rpc_entrypoint' holding the dataspaces,
which is now passed to 'platform.cc' via the new Linux-specific
'Core_region_map::init' function.
Issue #5408
This directory contains ports of 3rd-party libraries to Genode. Usage ----- The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the task of downloading and preparing the 3rd-party source codes. One can select individual ports that have to be prepared by specifying their base names (without the version number) as command-line argument. For example, the following command prepares both the C library and the Freetype library: ! ./tool/ports/prepare_port libc freetype To compile and link against 3rd-party libraries of the 'libports' repository, you have to include the repository into the build process by appending it to the 'REPOSITORIES' declaration of your '<build-dir>/etc/build.conf' file. Under the hood -------------- For each library, there is a file contained in the 'libports/ports/' subdirectory. The file is named after the library and contains the library-specific rules for downloading the source code and installing header files. How does 'libports' relate to the other repositories? ----------------------------------------------------- Most libraries hosted in the 'libports' repository expect a complete C library, which is provided via the 'libc' port. The libc, in turn, depends on the 'os' repository for its back end.
