Issue #949
Related to issue #808 - one way to nearly double the maximum VM size for
VMs on 32bit Genode/Nova host if decreased performance is acceptable.
To ease the creation of custom virtual machine monitors on top of
NOVA, this patch moves generic utilities from vancouver resp. seoul to the
public include location 'ports/include/vmm'. As a nice side effect,
this change simplifies 'vancouver/main.cc'.
Issue #949
DosBox is DOS-Emulator which is mainly used for playing old
DOS games on POSIX systems and newer Windows versions.
This port of DosBox runs natively on Genode by using its
SDL backend. It is currently only works on x86_*.
Fixes#937.
There are programms that use struct stat's st_ino field to check certain
conditions. Since we are using multiple filesystems in a noux session we
cannot use the inode number which the actual filesystem provides.
Therefore we calculate a random inode number by hashing the stated path.
Fixes#299.
This patch implements the POSIX signal functionality needed to interrupt a
running Noux GDB by pressing 'Ctrl-C'.
It allows to register a signal handler for the 'SIGINT' signal, which
gets executed after 'Ctrl-C' is received from the terminal. With the
current state of the implementation, the signal handler only gets executed
when the Noux application calls a 'read()', 'write()', 'ftruncate()' or
'select()' syscall.
Fixes#923.
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.
binary_ds cap is attempted to free up twice by
_root_dir->release(_name, _binary_ds) in ~Child de-constructor and by
Static_dataspace_info _binary_ds_info de-constructor.
This commit keeps all binary related information inside a struct which gets
freed up after all noux session book keep cleaning is done.
Issue #485
At least 64bit Seoul dies with Region_conflict reliable and reproducible.
When during startup of Seoul some Genode code (caused by executing some
constructors) try to attach a region, the region manager code in the rm_session
will try to place the attachment at the smallest large enough aligned free
virtual region.
For now, I observed one attachment causing trouble (but not knowing who causes
this - it does also not really matter). The questionable region is 0x4000 of
size for 32bit and 0x8000 of size for 64bit.
To steer the region manager a bit, we try now following trick:
With this commit the load address of the binary for 32 and 64 bit is moved
close to the end of the virtual address space, but leaving enough free virtual
space for the above observed attachment (and a bit more).
The region manager code now will try to fill up the virtual region behind
the binary up to the end of the virtual address space, effectively letting the
lower virtual region untouched - hopefully.
Works for now, but it will break again - for sure.
Fixes#519
If a script is executed which uses a interpreter that does not exist the
construction of the child fails and potentially leaks memory because the
wrong delete operator is called.
Therefore the binary dataspace of the script and the binary dataspace of
the interpreter are now checked before a new child will be created.
Fixes#812.
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 introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.
By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.
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).
Issue #485
The 'check_dev_tty()' function calls 'ttyname()', which calls the pthread
stub function 'pthread_main_np()', which prints a 'not implemented'
message. Calling 'check_dev_tty()' doesn't seem to be necessary, so this
patch removes the call.
Issue #815.
Previous commit denies the creation of regions larger then the dataspace.
Noux does it by setting the default size to the dataspace size without
subtracting the offset.
Fixes#591
Forgetting to restore the old utcb content results in hard to debug bugs.
Save only the amount of word items which are actually on the UTCB.
Issue #806
Avoids the message
cxx: operator delete (void *) called - not implemented. A working implementation is available in the 'stdcxx' library
during a " new ..." which causes exceptions. Happens for seoul in disk.cc
Issue #806
MAERTS is STREAM backwards and effectively lets the netserver sends the packets
to the netperf client. So, TCP_STREAM measure the receive performance of the
lwIP stack on Genode and TCP_MAERTS the send performance of the lwIP stack
on Genode.
The previous version of the PS/2 mouse backend manged mouse motion
events in a strange way, effectively throwing away most information
about the motion vector. Furthermore, the tracking of the mouse-button
states were missing. So drag-and-drop in a guest OS won't work. The new
version fixes those issues. For the transformation of input events to
PS/2 packets, a the Genode::Register facility is used. This greatly
simplifies the code.
