* Enable the use of the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions, see Intel SDM Vol. 3C, section 2.5. * The state of the x87 floating point unit (FPU) is loaded and saved on demand. * Make the cr0 control register accessible in the Cpu class. This is in preparation of the upcoming FPU management. * Access to the FPU is disabled by setting the Task Switch flag in the cr0 register. * Access to the FPU is enabled by clearing the Task Switch flag in the cr0 register. * Implement FPU initialization * Add is_fpu_enabled helper function * Add pointer to CPU lazy state to CPU class * Init FPU when finishing kernel initialization * Add function to retry FPU instruction: Similar to the ARM mechanism to retry undefined instructions, implement a function for retrying an FPU instruction. If a floating-point instruction causes an #NM exception due to the FPU being disabled, it can be retried after the correct FPU state is restored, saving the current state and enabling the FPU in the process. * Disable FPU when switching to different user context: This enables lazy save/restore of the FPU since trying to execute a floating point instruction when the FPU is disabled will cause a #NM exception. * Declare constant for #NM exception * Retry FPU instruction on #NM exception * Assure alignment of FXSAVE area: The FXSAVE area is 512-byte memory region that must be 16-byte aligned. As it turns out the alignment attribute is not honored in all cases so add a workaround to assure the alignment constraint is met by manually rounding the start of the FXSAVE area to the next 16-byte boundary if necessary. |

=============================== Genode source-code repositories =============================== This directory contains the source-code repositories of the Genode OS Framework. Each sub directory has the same principle layout as described in the build-system manual: :Build-system manual: [http://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/build_system] The build system uses a configurable selection of those reposities to obtain the source codes for the build process. The repositories are not independent but build upon of each other: :'base': This directory contains the source-code repository of the fundamental frameworks and interfaces of Genode. Furthermore, it contains the generic parts of core. :'base-<platform>': These directories contain platform-specific source-code repositories complementing the 'base' repository. The following platforms are supported: :'linux': Linux kernel (both x86_32 and x86_64) :'nova': NOVA hypervisor developed at University of Technology Dresden See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/nova] :'foc': Fiasco.OC is a modernized version of the Fiasco microkernel with a completely revised kernel interface fostering capability-based security. It is not compatible with L4/Fiasco. See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/foc] :'hw': The hw platform allows the execution of Genode on bare ARM hardware without the need for a separate kernel. The kernel functionality is included in core. See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/hw] :'okl4': OKL4 kernel (x86_32 and ARM) developed at Open-Kernel-Labs. See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/okl4] :'pistachio': L4ka::Pistachio kernel developed at University of Karlsruhe. See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/pistachio] :'fiasco': L4/Fiasco kernel developed at University of Technology Dresden. See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/fiasco] :'codezero': Codezero microkernel developed by B-Labs See [http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/codezero] :'host': Pseudo platform documenting the interface between the generic and platform-specific parts of the base framework. This is not a functional base platform. :'os': This directory contains the non-base OS components such as the init process, device drivers, and basic system services. :'demo': This directory contains the source-code repository of various services and applications that we use for demonstration purposes. For example, a graphical application launcher called Launchpad and the Scout tutorial browser. :'hello_tutorial': Tutorial for creating a simple client-server scenario with Genode. This repository includes documentation and the complete source code. :'libports': This source-code repository contains ports of popular open-source libraries to Genode, most importantly the C library. The repository contains no upstream source code but means to download the code and adapt it to Genode. For instructions about how to use this mechanism, please consult the README file at the top level of the repository. Among the 3rd-party libraries are Qt5, libSDL, freetype, Python, ncurses, Mesa, and libav. :'dde_linux': This source-code repository contains the device driver environment for executing Linux device drivers natively on Genode. Currently, this repository hosts the USB stack. :'dde_ipxe': This source-code repository contains the device-driver environment for executing drivers of the iPXE project. :'dde_oss': This source-code repository contains the device-driver environment for the audio drivers of the Open Sound System (OSS). :'dde_rump': This source-code repository contains the port of rump kernels, which are used to execute subsystems of the NetBSD kernel as user level processes. The repository contains a server that uses a rump kernel to provide various NetBSD file systems to Genode. :'ports': This source-code repository hosts ports of 3rd-party applications to Genode. The repository does not contain upstream source code but provides a mechanism for downloading the official source distributions and adapt them to the Genode environment. The used mechanism is roughly the same as used for the 'libports' repository. Please consult 'libports/README' for further information. :'ports-<platform>': These platform-specific source-code repositories contain software that capitalizes special features of the respective kernel platform. For the Fiasco.OC platform, 'ports-foc' hosts a port of the L4Linux kernel. For further information, please refer to the README file at the top level of the respective repository. :'gems': This source-code repository contains Genode applications that use both native Genode interfaces as well as features of other high-level repositories, in particular shared libraries provided by 'libports'.
