In the past, unmap sometimes occured on RM clients that have no thread,
PD, or translation table assigned. However, this shouldn't be the
case anymore.
Fixes#504
* Introduce hw-specific crt0 for core that calls e.g.: init_main_thread
* re-map core's main thread UTCB to fit the right context area location
* switch core's main thread's stack to fit the right context area location
Fix#1440
The 'check_port_source' checks whether all remote sources defined for a given
port are currently available. It returns zero, when all remote resources are
available.
Fix#1430
This decouples the size of the mode transition control region from the
minimal mapping size of the page tables implementation. Rather, the CPU
architecture is able to specify the actual size.
Rationale: For x86_64, we need the mtc region to span two pages in order
to store all the tables required to perform the mode switch.
The size of empty structs differs in C (0 byte) and C++ (1 byte), which
leads to different offsets in compound structures. This fixes the driver
on 32Bit platforms.
Issue #1439.
The wireless stack calls timer_before(foo, timer.expires) and up to now
it was always 0. Let's be save and set this field when scheduling the
timer, although it worked fine so far.
Issue #1439.
We will always see this error message when the driver is started. It
is expected and not an actual error. When the driver is running it will
not allocate larger chunks than the Slab provides. Therefore, we can
safely ignore this message.
Issue #1439.
Some functions in the time manager, for example 'TMTimerSet()' and
'TMTimerStop()' let VirtualBox abort with a failed assertion if the timer
does not change to a 'stable' state after 1000 calls of a mixture of
'yield' and 'sleep'. On Genode, this happens sometimes when the 'EMT'
thread is executing 'TMTimerSet()' and gets interrupted by the 'TAP'
thread, which calls 'TMTimerStop()' and waits for the 'EMT' thread to
finish setting the timer. Since the 'EMT' thread has the lowest priority,
1000 retries can be too few. Without the assertion, these functions would
return an error code, which is often ignored by the caller, so it seems
safer to keep retrying until the function can return successfully.
Fixes#1437
The mkfs.ext2 heuristics select the "small" ext2 usage type, which does
not fit well with GiB-sized pen drives. For example, the block size is
just 1024 bytes compared to 4096 for "default". Therefore, we enforce
the default usage type as this fits our use case of dumping the image to
USB sticks better.
Among others, this function is used in the for_each_set_big() macro,
which is used when configuring the data rate tables. Therefore, this
fixes observed performance issues.
Fixes#1439.
If running multiple VBox VMMs with Windows as guest concurrently then it may
happen that the system seem to hang. It turned out that actually
a VM-exit storm (vmx_exception->handle_exc_nm) causes a endless loop between
kernel and vCPU. Nothing gets scheduled nor interrupts are received anymore.
The referenced kernel commit fixes this issue.
