When using certain assembler instructions, e.g. 'smc' that are
only available on some CPUs of the same architecture like ARMv7a,
it's necessary to specify the target CPU for the assembler. Otherwise
it will complain about.
- use the generic 'crt0.s' for Linux
- move the read-only '__dso_handle' definition into the '.text' section
- move the '__initial_sp' definition into the '.bss' section
- remove the '_main_utcb' definition
Part of #766.
Until now the print procedure call in the Log_session_component
did contain a hardcoded 'init' string. Adding a method to filter
the session args to prefix the label and labelling the initial
Cpu_connection for the init-process enabled us to remove the
hardcoded string.
Fixes#789.
The given number of bytes is consumed but not actually allocated. This
feature may be used for accounting and use memory within core which is
in fact provided by a session client.
Fixes#792.
The verbosity must be enabled at two levels: at compile time
via an enum that switches the availability of verbosity code
and via two members of 'Mmio' named '_read_verbose' and
'_write_verbose'. The latter are initialized to 0 (change this to
enable verbosity globally) and can be used to locally enable
(or disable) verbosity in deriving classes.
Ref #753
Added spec file for ARM-VFPv3 floating-point unit. This shadows
'base/include/arm/' with 'base/include/arm/vfp' and enables a 'memcpy_cpu'
version that mainly uses the FPU. Enabled VFP support for 'foc_arndale'.
Ref #773
* Implements platform driver for Arndale providing Regulator for CPU clock
* Implements a cpu frequency scaling test using the affinity test
* Fixes#770
This patch introduces a new platform 'linux_arm' for building and running
Genode/Linux on an ARM device.
Known limitations:
- libc 'setjmp()'/'longjmp()' doesn't currently save/restore floating
point registers
Fixes#746.
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.
With this patch, the thread context area RM session gets created at
program startup to have the thread context area's virtual address range
reserved right from the beginning.
Fixes#734.
This patch implies that all Genode processes try to create an RM
session. So a route to the RM service must be present even for processes
that have only a single thread. Hence, the patch contains an update of
affected components.
* 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
This patch adds the consideration of suddenly disappearing managed
dataspaces in the 'Rm_session_component::reverse_lookup' function.
Previously, this case resulted in a seamingly valid translation.
Fixes#701
Because the template instantiation rules of C++ do not deal well with
null pointers specified as '0', the constructor of 'Local_addr' was
instantiated for [T = int], which does not make sense. To avoid the
warning "cast to pointer from integer of different size", we need to
explicitly state that '0' is a pointer. In C++11, there is the 'nullptr'
keyword, but until we switch to this version, we have to state (void *)0.
When L4Linux tries to allocate a dataspace of the size of its physical
memory, this allocation can fail, because the 'l4re_ma_alloc()' function
in the 'l4lx' library always tries to allocate a contiguous dataspace of
the given size and there might be no contiguous free area left.
With this patch, memory gets allocated in chunks: if the size to be
allocated exceeds the configured chunk size, a managed dataspace gets
created and filled with multiple memory chunks of at most the chunk size.
The chunk size is 16M by default and can be configured in an l4linux
config node:
<config args="...">
<ram chunk_size="16M"/>
</config>
Fixes#695.
Remove the 'epit' variable from the generic imx31 and imx53 specification,
and only add it to base-hw specific i.MX specs. Thereby the EPIT timer
library gets build for base-hw only.
Moreover, fix some const-ness issues in the platform_timer implementation
for the EPIT timer.
Fixes#688.
The new core-internal 'Address_space' interface enables cores RM service
to flush mappings of a PD in which a given 'Rm_client' thread resides.
Prior this patch, each platform invented their own way to flush mappings
in the respective 'rm_session_support.cc' implementation. However, those
implementations used to deal poorly with some corner cases. In
particular, if a PD session was destroyed prior a RM session, the RM
session would try to use no longer existing PD session. The new
'Address_space' uses the just added weak-pointer mechanism to deal with
this issue.
Furthermore, the generic 'Rm_session_component::detach' function has
been improved to avoid duplicated unmap operations for platforms that
implement the 'Address_space' interface. Therefore, it is related to
issue #595. Right now, this is OKL4 only, but other platforms will follow.
