This prevents a sporadic null-pointer dereference in the nic_loopback
test, which occurred once in 100 runs. I'm not sure if there's still a
race window (we may investigate) with context dissolve.
On Linux the linker can now be loaded at arbitrary addresses, this became
necessary for newer kernel versions. The 'linux_arm' target is not supported.
Issue #1728
'block_for_signal' and 'pending_signal' now set pending flag in signal context
in order to determine pending signal. The context list is also used by the
'Signal_receiver' during destruction.
Fixes#1738
Currently, when a signal arrives in the main thread, the signal dispatcher is
retrieved and called from the main thread, the dispatcher uses a proxy object
that in turn sends an RPC to the entry point. This becomes a problem when the
entry point destroys the dispatcher object, before the dispatch function has
been called by the main thread. Therefore, the main thread should simply send an
RPC to the entry point upon signal arrival and the dispatching should be handled
solely by the entry point.
Issue #1738
Destroying an object within the scope of a lambda/functor executed
in the object pool's apply function leads potentially to memory corruption.
Within the scope the corresponding object is locked and unlocked when
leaving the scope. Therefore, it is illegal to free the object's memory meanwhile.
This commit eliminates several places in core that destroyed wrongly in
the object pool's scope.
Fix#1713
* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
Fix#1697
The commit consumes the argument of a unsupported printf command.
Without the commit - a subsequent command uses the argument of the preceding
command, which may cause memory corruption or page faults for sequences using
string commands, e.g.
Genode::printf("%#x %s\n", 0x20, "Test");
'#' is not supported by Genode::printf. In this scenario a pagefault at
address 0x20 is caused.
Fixes#1701
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:
repos/base/include/spec
repos/base/mk/spec
repos/base/lib/mk/spec
repos/base/src/core/spec
...
Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
Fix#1673
Instead of returning pointers to locked objects via a lookup function,
the new object pool implementation restricts object access to
functors resp. lambda expressions that are applied to the objects
within the pool itself.
Fix#884Fix#1658
For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint
and pager activation is not needed, and only exists due to historical
reasons. Moreover, the pager thread's execution path is almost identical
between most platforms excluding NOVA, HW, and Fisco.OC. Therefore,
this commit unifies the pager loop for the other platforms, and removes
the pager activation class.
Increase internal chunk size of heap only if an allocation succeeded
beforehand. Otherwise the chunk size increases with every unsuccessful
invocation and a upgrade of the used ram session will be insufficient and of
no use at all.
Fixes#1632
Introduces a class Unmanaged_singleton_constructor that can be declared as
friend to be able to call unmanaged_singleton on classes with a private
constructor. Enables the appliance of the singleton pattern.
Ref #1625
This commit eliminates the mutual interlaced taking of destruction lock,
list lock and weak pointer locks that could lead to a dead-lock situation
when a lock pointer was tried to construct while a weak object is in
destruction progress.
Now, all weak pointers are invalidated and dequeued at the very
beginning of the weak object's destruction. Moreover, before a weak pointer
gets invalidated during destruction of a weak object, it gets dequeued, and
the list lock is freed again to avoid the former dead-lock.
Fix#1607
Up to now it was not possible to trace threads that use a different
Cpu_session rather than env()->cpu_session() (as done by VirtualBox).
This problem is now solved by setting the Cpu_session explicitly when
creating the event logger and attaching the trace control area when
creating the thread.
Fixes#1618.
Add a test where a locked pointer shall be taken during object destruction.
Moreover, extend the run-script so it runs on different platforms with
"real" timers.
While importing trace sources as trace subjects into a TRACE session,
the session quota might become depleted. The TRACE session already keeps
track of the session quota via an allocator guard but the 'subjects' RPC
function missed to handle the out-of-memory condition. This patch
reflects the error condition as an 'Out_of_metadata' exception to the
TRACE client. It also contains an extension of the trace test to
exercise the corner case.
This patch enable clients of core's TRACE service to obtain the
execution times of trace subjects (i.e., threads). The execution time is
delivered as part of the 'Subject_info' structure.
Right now, the feature is available solely on NOVA. On all other base
platforms, the returned execution times are 0.
Issue #813
On ARM, the compiler generates calls to memcpy and memset. Most
dynamically linked programs use the libc, which provides these
functions. However, if a dynamically linked program does not use the
libc (e.g., noux/minimal or the new version of cli_monitor), those
symbols remain unresolved. By adding them to ldso's symbol.map, the
dynamic linker will resolve them with the functions of the cxx
library, which is part of the dynamic linker.
Issue #1561
Currently, libc_noux includes the 'base/src/base/env/platform_env.h' file
to be able to reinitialize the environment using the 'Platform_env'
interface. For base-linux, a special version of this file exists and the
inclusion of the generic version in libc_noux causes GCC 4.9 to make wrong
assumptions about the memory layout of the 'Env' object returned by
'Genode::env()'.
This commit moves the reinitialization functions to the 'Env' interface to
avoid the need to include the 'platform_env.h' file in libc_noux.
Fixes#1510
On seL4, we need to convert untyped memory to page frames before being
able to use it as normal memory. There already exists the hook function
'_export_ds' that is principally suitable for such tasks. It is
currently solely used on Linux where we have to create a file for each
dataspace. To make the hook useful also for seL4, we need to call
_export_ds prior _clear_ds. Otherwise, we would try to clear memory that
is still untyped.
