This patch extends the 'Parent::session()' and 'Root::session()'
functions with an additional 'affinity' parameter, which is inteded to
express the preferred affinity of the new session. For CPU sessions
provided by core, the values will be used to select the set of CPUs
assigned to the CPU session. For other services, the session affinity
information can be utilized to optimize the locality of the server
thread with the client. For example, to enable the IRQ session to route
an IRQ to the CPU core on which the corresponding device driver (the IRQ
client) is running.
This patch eliminates the "no attachment at..." warnings, which
were caused by a use-after-free problem of dataspaces. When a
dataspace was destroyed, the users of the dataspace were not
informed and therefore could not revert possible attachments to
RM sessions. The fix introduces a callback mechanism that allows
dataspace users (i.e., RM regions) to register for the event that
a dataspace vanishes.
The following types of dataspaces are handled:
* RAM dataspaces
* ROM dataspaces
* The process binary
* The binary of the dynamic linker
* Args dataspace
* Sysio dataspace
* Env dataspace
* managed RM dataspaces
The handling of ROM dataspaces is still not complete. When forking,
the ROM dataspace of the parent process gets just reused without
creating proper meta data ('Dataspace_info') for the forked process.
Similar issues might arise from other special dataspaces (e.g.,
args, env, sysio).
This patch removes all "no attachment at..." warnings except for
one (an attachment at 0).
