This patch implements 'execve' in Genode's libc. The mechanism relies on the dynamic linker's ability to replace the loaded binary while keeping crucial libraries - in particular the libc - intact. The state outside the libc is wiped. For this reason, all libc internal state needed beyond the 'execve' call must be allocated on a heap separate from the application-owned malloc heap. E.g., libc-internal file-descriptor objects must not be allocated or refer to any memory object allocated from the malloc heap. Issue #3481
This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party applications to Genode. The 'ports' repository follows the line of the 'libports' repository. For instructions about downloading and building 3rd-party applications, please refer to 'libports/README'. Dependencies from other repositories ------------------------------------ Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports' repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'.
