Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
The Arora main thread sometimes blocks on a pthread condition variable,
which prevents Genode signal processing with the current implementation.
This is especially a problem when the thread who could unblock the main
thread calls 'Libc::suspend()'.
As a workaround until the pthread locking mechanisms get adapted to the
Genode libc execution model, the Arora main function can be called from
a dedicated thread.
Fixes#2978
Close the stdin, stdout, and stderr I/O channels at child exit. This
serves to flush buffers at the I/O resources which might not be written
otherwise.
Ref #2919
This patch reintroduces the LwIP stack to libc as a VFS plugin
implementing the socket_fs interface. Rather than use LwIP's socket
emulation layer this plugin interfaces directly to LwIP raw API and is
single threaded.
The internal TCP parameters of the stack are untuned.
Fix#2050Fix#2335
A timer should set itslef not pending before calling the timout handler.
This is important for timeout handler that program the timeout again.
issue #2910
Calling 'handle_io_response()' in a regular VFS function (in contrast to a
post-signal hook) can cause problems if the caller of the VFS function holds
a lock which prevents the io response handler from returning.
With this commit, the user of the VFS becomes responsible for unblocking
threads which might be blocking after a failed 'queue_read()', 'queue_sync()'
or 'write()' call.
Fixes#2896
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
This commit contains a patch of bash's built-in default escape sequences
to match the 'screen' terminal as used by Genode's terminal component.
Fixes#2705
The libc will now use the file given by the 'nameserver_file' attribute
to get the DNS nameserver address instead of reading '/etc/resolv.conf'.
It defaults to '/socket/nameserver' which is the common location when
using the lxip VFS plugin. As a constraint the libc will read the first
line and expects the nameserver address without any keywords in front of
it.
Fixes#2861.
In contrast to most information of init's state reports, which can be
monitored at a relatively low rate (like 2 seconds in Sculpt's runtime),
resource requests call for an immediate response by the consumer of the
report. Otherwise the requesting child stays unnecessarily blocked until
the next rate-limited state report is due. This patch adds a fast lane
for such low-latency state updates to init.
Rename LwIP library in preparation for removal of LwIP libc plugin. The
current LwIP library will be replaced with a new version stripped of its
synchronous socket support. The next version will be incompatible with
the current, so removing 'lwip.lib.so' completely for a period makes it
easy to identify legacy users.
Fix#2797
This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.
Issue #2761Fixes#2786
Reduce the size and forward compatibility of VFS file-system
constructors by passing an object holding accessors for 'Genode::Env',
'Genode::Allocator', response handlers, and the root file-system.
Fix#2742
This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data
- Basic UTF-8 support
Since the change decouples the font format from the 'Text_painter' and
changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.
Fixes#2716
This patch enables the use of the VFS from VFS plugins by passing a
reference of the root directory to the constructors of file-system
instances. Since it changes the signature of 'Vfs::Dir_file_system',
any code that uses the VFS directly requires an adaptation.
Fixes#2701
