By now, rump would query its available RAM quota to determine the
memory limit minus some RAM reserved for Genode meta-data. This
does not work when the VFS rump plugin is used as the available
quota belongs to the VFS server. In this case the memlimit should
be set by specifing the RAM in the plugin's config, e.g.:
! <vfs>
! <rump fs="ext2fs" ram="64M" writeabl="yes"/>
! </vfs>
Fixes#2783.
Adjust managed dataspace (== max memory provided to rump kernel) based
on 32/64 bit architecture. On 32bit is it 256M, on 64bit is 4G.
Additionally limit the actual announced memory to rump by the available RAM and
by the maximum size of the managed dataspace.
Fixes#2709
* integrate rump's contrib code into Genode's build system and build what is
required by Genode, only
* checkout needed NetBSD sources directly from CVS
fixes#2589
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).
Issue #2398
This streamlines the Genode-specific interface for both 32-bit and
64-bit architectures and fixes dynamic-linking issue with the rump
VFS due to differing size_t types.
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
Since rump now requires large buffers of random numbers (>= 512 bytes), use the
jitterentropy library instead of the slow timer pseudo random number generation.
Fixes#1393
On ARM in one way or another 'string.h' prototypes will be used. Move
the definitions from rump_fs to the rump library because it is needed
by all rump based servers running on ARM.
Issue #1141.
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.
