* Implements platform driver for Arndale providing Regulator for CPU clock
* Implements a cpu frequency scaling test using the affinity test
* Fixes#770
Changes GPIO session interface to a one-GPIO-pin-per-session style. Moreover,
this commit introduces a generic driver interface for GPIO drivers. Thereby
generalizes root- and session component for GPIO.
* Simplify IPU register definitions using templates
* Distinguish between i.MX53 QSB and SMD board in driver
* Support IPU specific overlay mechanism by framebuffer session extension
There is no obvious reason for having two different SPEC variables, definitions,
and pathes for the Pandaboard platform. It even lead to problems regarding the
omap4 framebuffer driver (look at issue #505 and #506).
'Core_tlb' ensures that core never throws pagefaults,
in contrast to its base 'Tlb' that is planned to use displacement
in the future.
'Core_tlb' enables the application of differenet memory attributes
in core, according to the board specific partitioning of the physical
address space. This way it enables caching in core.
Implement 'Signal_receiver::pending()'.
Provide display-subsystem MMIO.
Avoid method ambiguousness in 'Irq_context' in
'dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/signal/irq.cc'
(it derives from two list element classes when using 'base_hw').
Enables demo scenario with 'hw_panda_a2'.
Fix bug regarding idle thread in thread scheduling in
'base-hw/src/core/kernel.cc'.
Fix regarding signal submit in signal framework in
'base-hw/src/core/kernel.cc'.
Implies support for the ARMv6 architecture through 'base-hw'.
Get rid of 'base/include/drivers' expect of 'base/include/drivers/uart'.
Merge with the support for trustzone on VEA9X4 that came from
Stefan Kalkowski.
Leave board drivers in 'base/include/platform'.
Rework structure of the other drivers that were moved to
'base_hw/src/core' and those that came with the trustzone support.
Beautify further stuff in 'base_hw'.
Test 'nested_init' with 'hw_imx31' (hardware) and 'hw_panda_a2' (hardware),
'demo' and 'signal' with 'hw_pbxa9' (qemu) and 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, no trustzone), and 'vmm' with 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, with trustzone).
* Introduces Schedule_context
* Use fast-interrupts or normal interrupts
* Add mode-transition between secure/non-secure world
* Limit system resources for Genode apps due to non-secure world
This commit implements the newly introduced Vm session interface to be used
on top of TrustZone capable Armv7 CPUs. Therefore a new Schedule_context is
introduced in the kernel. Threads and Vms are both Schedule_contexts used
by the scheduler. In contrast to a thread a vm uses a different assembler
mode switch to the non-secure, virtual world, as well as another exception
is used, when the non-secure world is left. For both worlds to co-exist
the interrupt-controller needs to be configured, so that the secure (Genode)
world uses fast-interrupts only, and the non-secure world only legacy
interrupts.
The only TrustZone capable platform the base-hw kernel works on top of
is the CoreTile Express 9x4 for the Versatile Express motherboard. For a
virtual machine working properly on top some platform resources must be
reserved. Therefore there exist two flavours of this platform now, one with
the 'trustzone' spec-variable enabled, and one without. If 'trustzone' is
specified most platform resources (DDR-RAM, and most IRQs) are reserved
for the Vm and not available to the secure Genode world.
By naming all board declaration (previously in base/include/drivers/board) the
same way, and putting them in platform-specific include-pathes, we save additional
declaration redirection in the base-hw kernel, and in driver definitions.
