Use slab allocators for small object sizes, do it the usual way otherwise.
This patch is related to #363. Using this optimization may be a viable
alternative to switching to the FreeBSD's malloc implementation.
The 'fd_set' size calculation in the current version of the 'poll()'
function results in an amount which is smaller than the size of the
'fd_set' data type. With this patch the file descriptor sets get
allocated as plain stack variables.
Fixes#335.
Removes getpwent.c from build because the passwd facilities provided by
the FreeBSD libc will not be used anyway and add stub functions instead.
Now services which need these functions have to implement their own
(e.g. libc_noux).
libc_resolv is a {free,get}addrinfo() plugin, mainly for use with NOUX.
We prefix the original libc functions to with 'libc_' so there is no
symbol conflict with file_operations.cc.
Certain rpc headers are needed for compiling getaddrinfo.c. Unfortunatly
that means we have to generate _a few_ header files which we do when we
prepare the libc.
These header files need to be created before the symlinks. Also, some of
these header files depend on a patch. Therefore we apply the patches
first, generate the header files and in the end we create the symlinks.
Fixes#296.
This patch implements the 'readv()' function in the libc.
A lock guard prevents the parallel execution of either or both of the
'readv()' and 'writev()' functions.
Fixes#279.
This patch implements the 'pread()' and 'pwrite()' functions in the libc.
A lock guard prevents the parallel execution of either or both functions.
Fixes#278.
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode
Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.
On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.
In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)
Fixes#233, fixes#234
This patch provides an implementation of the '_nanosleep()' libc function,
which blocks on a timed semaphore for the given time, but at least 10ms.
This should result in better performance than creating a timer connection
on every call (for thread-safety), but could still be improved.
Fixes#158.
The 'log2()' and 'log2f()' functions have been added in FreeBSD's libc
version 9.0.0, but they are missing in version 8.2.0, which is used in
Genode. This patch provides preliminary implementations of these
functions until the Genode libc gets updated to version 9.0.0 or above.
Fixes#143.
If using the libc for Noux programs, the default implementation of these
functions cannot be used because they rely on a dedicated
timeout-scheduler thread. Noux programs, however, are expected to
contain only the main thread. By turning the functions into weak
symbols, the noux libc-plugin can provide custom implementations.
Removed dummy implementation of '_ioctl'. This function is called
internally within the libc, i.e., by 'tcgetattr'. For running
libreadline in Noux, we need to hook into those ioctl operations via
the libc plugin interface.
