This patch introduces new commands for dynamically balancing RAM between
subsystems. The 'status' command prints a table with the RAM status of
each subsystem. The 'ram' command changes the quota or a quota limit of
a given subsystem. The quota limit can be defined to allow the on-demand
expansion of the quota. Finally, the 'yield' command can be used to
instruct a subsystem to yield a specified amount of resources.
For trying out the new commands, a so-called 'ram_eater' example has
been added to the 'terminal_mux.run' scenario. This program simulates a
subsystem with a growing demand for resources, yet with the capability
to yield resources when instructed by the parent (i.e., cli_monitor).
Besides implementing the new features, the patch splits the
implementation of 'cli_monitor' into multiple files.
In order to be able to dynamically balance resources of slaves, we need
to provide an accessor to the slave's RAM session and a way to issue
yield requests.
Deleting the generated 'launchpad.config' file is a bad idea because in
contrast to most base platforms, on Linux, we merely create symlinks
from the 'var/run/demo/' directory to the 'bin/' directory instead of
copying the files.
This patch makes sure that a line break is printed before the test
finishes. This way, the "Test succeeded" message is printed on a new
line, which was not always the case (i.e., on Pistachio) otherwise.
After announcing the NIC service, the bridge connects to the driver to
ensure to see any incoming traffic in case the client itself only reacts
on connects from LAN (e.g., the netperf server).
Also, some styling issues were fixed.
Both 'platform_session/capability.h' and 'platform_session/connection.h'
do not contain platform-specific information. By moving them from
'include/platform/imx53/platform_session/' to 'include/platform_session/',
this patch enables other platforms to reuse them.
Prior this change, the attempt to re-schedule a timer from its timer
handler resulted in a clear '_pending' flag. This caused the timer event
to disappear from the scheduling queue without the handler being called
ever again. By resetting the '_pending' value before calling the hander,
we prevent a re-scheduled '_pending' flag to be cleared immediately
after calling the handler.
This patch updates the launchpad config to use XML attributes and
removes the built-in default configuration (which is only meaningful
for demo.run anyway).
By splitting Session_policy into two classes, we make it more flexible.
Originally, the constructor accepted solely an args string, which made it
unusable for situations where we already have extracted the session
label (e.g., stored in the session meta data of a server). Now, the
extraction of the label from the args string is performed by the new
Session_label class instead, which, in turn, can be passed to the
constructor of Session_policy.
This change causes a minor API change. The following code
Session_policy policy(session_args);
Must be turned into
Session_label label(session_args);
Session_policy policy(label);
This patch overhauls the signal handling of nitpicker to clear the way
towards dynamic reconfiguration. Furthermore, it moves the
implementation of the global-keys handling and input utilities to
separate files.
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.
This patch adds support for iterating through a const list. This allows
users of lists to be more rigid with regard to constness. Furthermore,
the patch adds the function 'List::insert_at' for inserting an element
at a specified position. By adding this function, we can remove code
duplication in nitpicker.
To enable the specification of key names in configuration files parsed
at runtime, we need the association between key-code values and their
respective names.
- if no affinity was set for a new thread before calling
Cpu_session::start(), the CPU session's affinity gets set for this
thread
- documentation fix: <affinity_space> -> <affinity-space>
Fixes#873.
Instead of using msleep to sleep periodically, and then increase jiffies
counter in the alarm scheduler implementation of the timed semaphore
use the 'trigger_periodic' call introduced by the change of the timer session
interface into an asynchronous one. Thereby, we can reduce the necessary IPC
communication with the timer service effectively.
Ref #35
As it turns out using -fPIC was not the issue but discarding certain
sections. The policy_module_table is now located in .data.rel which
needs to be at the beginning of the binary.
Fixes#849.
The regions reported by the RMRR structure are used by legacy devices for DMA
requests. Theses would need to be added to the device_pd to avoid DMAR faults
when used in legacy mode.
For now parse and print them, so that one has a clue about why we get DMAR
faults.
Issue #683
Be more robust. If the attachment fails continue to operate and just print a
error message. Before the commit the device_pd stopped to operate if an
attachment did not succeed.
