Up until now 'schedule_timeout' did only wait for the next signal to occur.
However, we might run into situations where there won't occur signals for longer
periods of time. Therefore, we took care of the respective timeout handling.
This commit also adds Genode's tracing support
Issue #1310
This has been broken for a while now. Use correct (global) signal transmission,
do not use local signal transmission, as signals seems to get lost.
Issue #1310
Ported drivers list and extract all needed source files. This decouples
ports according to contrib sources and also enables us to revert lxip to
Linux version 3.9, while staying with 3.14 for usb.
Fixes#1285
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.
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
