* Implements platform driver for Arndale providing Regulator for CPU clock
* Implements a cpu frequency scaling test using the affinity test
* Fixes#770
Commit c464ee2e6673fe328a8717342dca30f3b0204cb8 removed the RX_BUF_SIZE from
the NIC session interface. Mistakenly, the nic_loopback server was missed
when doing this change.
In fact, the sizes were the same the whole time, but by using
the same enum in both cases to instantiate the Packet_stream_tx
and Packet_stream_rx members of the e.g. RPC object, it allows
for more flexible generalization between e.g. source or, sink
objects, when programming event-driven, and implementing generic
handlers for their signals.
Just use configuration values when existent, otherwise when no configuration
is given use the default values. When an incomplete configuration is given,
take the supplied ones, and for the rest the default ones. Fix#762
This patch introduces a new platform 'linux_arm' for building and running
Genode/Linux on an ARM device.
Known limitations:
- libc 'setjmp()'/'longjmp()' doesn't currently save/restore floating
point registers
Fixes#746.
This is a first version of the AHCI driver. It supports SATA HDDs
with UDMA-133 only, up to 6 Gbps and native command queueing.
The more blocks one transfers with one command, the higher is the
chance that the driver produces a fatal handshake error. Nevertheless
the driver is stable with one block per ATA command. Although NCQ is
used the driver doesn't queue multiple commands simultanously.
The driver was tested with a western digital HDD "WDC WD2500BEVS-08VAT1
13.01A13" (250 GB) with hw_arndale (run/ahci) and foc_arndale
(run/ahci, run/l4linux: dd). SSDs were not tested.
Fix#706
Changes GPIO session interface to a one-GPIO-pin-per-session style. Moreover,
this commit introduces a generic driver interface for GPIO drivers. Thereby
generalizes root- and session component for GPIO.
A run script which sends raw ethernet packets from the host machine to the
target machine. Three tests are implemented:
- The network_stat instrumented driver of usb_drv and net_drv
are used to get the raw receive performance of the network driver.
- A simple nic_session client is receiving from the un-instrumented network
driver raw ethernet packets.
- A bridge is added between driver and simple nic_session client.
Additionally, we do the cleanup of the remains of a previously failed
run prior creating the run directory. Otherwise, the directly creation
may fail because of a pending bindmount.
With this patch, the thread context area RM session gets created at
program startup to have the thread context area's virtual address range
reserved right from the beginning.
Fixes#734.
This patch implies that all Genode processes try to create an RM
session. So a route to the RM service must be present even for processes
that have only a single thread. Hence, the patch contains an update of
affected components.
The parent-service registry is populated on demand by the
'Loader::Child' whenever a prior unknown service is requested. Since the
number of parent services is limited, we expect the registry to settle
after a while. However, each loader session has a private instance of
a parent-service registry. So when creating and destroying loader
sessions, parent registries will be populated again and again. We
have to make sure to discard the entries along with the destruction
of a loader session to avoid the leakage of memory.
Issue #717
Enable optinal support for double buffering in the i.MX53 framebuffer
driver. This prevents flickering in certain scenarios, where applications
directly render in the framebuffer dataspace given by the driver.
* Simplify IPU register definitions using templates
* Distinguish between i.MX53 QSB and SMD board in driver
* Support IPU specific overlay mechanism by framebuffer session extension
This commit removes an endless loop, that occurred when the sd_card driver
called usleep, or msleep on its Timer_delayer object. Fixes#705
Also fixes the same problem for the Omap4 GPIO driver.
'Gratuitous ARP' broadcast messages are used to announce newly created
IP<->MAC address mappings to other hosts. nic_bridge-internal hosts
would expect a nic_bridge-internal MAC address in this message, whereas
external hosts would expect the NIC's MAC address in this message.
The simplest solution to this problem is to just drop those messages,
since they are not really necessary.
Fixes#709.
The KDB UART driver uses the Fiasco(.OC) kernel debugger console as backend
for input and output. This is useful in the case that only one UART is
available.
Fixes#665.
Remove the 'epit' variable from the generic imx31 and imx53 specification,
and only add it to base-hw specific i.MX specs. Thereby the EPIT timer
library gets build for base-hw only.
Moreover, fix some const-ness issues in the platform_timer implementation
for the EPIT timer.
Fixes#688.
Instead of trying all PCI devices by a specific PCI driver, now the device or
the device class can be limited to the one actually supported by the specific
driver.
Without the patch the signal cap was ever transferred to the timer session
when a usleep/msleep was called, even when unneeded. On base-nova this
causes the allocation of new capability indexes which are not freed up.
So the timer service run quickly out of indexes and get out of order...

This patch moves the os/config examples to their respective run scripts,
removes some of them, and moves the priority example to the src/init
directory (where other examples are located).
Additionally, this patch adapts the OKL4-specific priority.run test to
the recent changes of the timer interface.
With the change of the Timer::Session interface, all scenarios that use
the timer use core's SIGNAL service. So we need to route sessions
accordingly.
In addition to the adaptation to the changed timer, this patch removes
some stale examples that predate the run tool and are no longer used.
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.
Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:
- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
processes
Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.
Fixes#18
By using the build system's library-selection mechanism instead of many
timer targets with different 'REQUIRES' declarations, this patch reduces
the noise of the build system. For all platforms, the target at
'os/src/drivers/timer' is built. The target, in turn, depends on a
'timer' library, which is platform-specific. The various library
description files are located under 'os/lib/mk/<platform>'. The common
bits are contained in 'os/lib/mk/timer.inc'.
The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of
long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out
to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer
client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a
multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call
by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in
an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can
be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single
thread.
The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA,
L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this
patch adds the timer test to autopilot.
Fixes#1
The default constructor didn't initialize all members, some of them holding
pointers. In the de-constructor the _name pointer was tried to free up, even
when it was not initialized.
Avoid any hassle for uninitialized members and just initialize it. Fixes
sporadic page fault on x86_64 base-nova.
