Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
Use the new asynchronous IRQ interface in the mostly used drivers, e.g.:
* ahci_drv: x86/exynos5
* gpio_drv: imx53/omap4
* input_drv: imx53/dummy
* ps2_drv: x86/pl050
* timer_drv
Now, the Irq_session is requested from Gpio::Session:
From now on we use an asynchronous IRQ interface. To prevent triggering
another GPIO IRQ while currently handling the former one, IRQs must
now by acknowledged explicitly. While here, we also changed the GPIO
session interface regarding IRQ management. The generic GPIO component
now wraps the Irq_session managed by the backend instead of using the
GPIO backend methods directly. A client using the GPIO session may
request the Irq_session_capability by calling
'Gpio::Session::irq_session()' and can use this capability when using
a local Irq_session_client.
Issue #1456.
This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.
The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.
The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.
Fixes#1327
If a client acknowledges the same packet more than once, the packet also
gets freed more than once. At the second attempt the underlaying
Bit_array will throw an 'Invalid_clear' exception, which results in an
uncaught exception that leads to an abort() call in the freeing
component.
Fixes#1462.
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
When returning early on directory operations, file systems that might
be able to handle the request but come after the current one are not
tried.
Fixes#1400.
Instead of returning an uint64_t value, return a structured time stamp.
This change is only visible to components using Rtc_session directly.
Fixes#1381.
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.
! <start name="test">
! <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>
This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test". Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.
The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.
Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.
This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.
fix#1275
This patch ensures that priority values passed as session arguments
are within the valid range of priorities. Without the clamping, a child
could specify a priority of a lower priority band than the one assigned
to the subsystem. Thanks to Johannes Schlatow for reporting this issue.
Fixes#1279
The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
The new 'session_control' function can be used to perform operations on
the global view stack that span one or multiple sessions, e.g., bringing
all views of specific sessions to the front, or hiding them.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
This patch add an optional alpha argument to the constructor, which may
be passed to a pixel type representing an alpha channel. Furthermore,
a new overload of the mix function has been added to accommodate use
cases where one texture is applied to both a pixel surface and an alpha
channel.
