This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and 'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD. Note the API change: This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors. There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call. Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux. Issue #1938 |

This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party software to Genode. Usage ----- The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the task of downloading and preparing the library source codes. You can select individual packages 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 PKG="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 with the 'libc' package. Please do not forget to prepare the libc package when using any of the other libports packages. The libc, in turn, depends on the 'os' repository for its back end. Because the 'os' repository is the home of the dynamic linker, libraries contained in 'libports' are safe to assume the presence of the dynamic linker and, thus, should be built as shared libraries.
