Instead of fixing the missing dynamic facilities of the AHCI driver
backends for x86 and Exynos5, just avoid to create/destroy the backend
for every new connection, but always use one and the same object.
The AHCI drivers need to be re-written anyway, see issue #1352 for instance,
we can make it more robust for the dynamic case then.

When building Genode for VEA9X4 as micro-hypervisor protected by the ARM
TrustZone hardware we ran into limitations regarding our basic daily
testing routines. The most significant is that, when speaking about RAM
partitioning, the only available options are to configure the whole SRAM
to be secure and the whole DDR-RAM to be non-secure or vice versa. The
SRAM however provides only 32 MB which isn't enough for both a
representative non-secure guest OS or a secure Genode that is still
capable of passing our basic tests. This initiated our decision to
remove the VEA9X4 TrustZone-support.
Fixes#1351
Declaring the SP804 0/1 module and its interrupt to be non-secure prevents the
secure Genode from receiving the interrupt and hence the timer driver in the
secure Genode doesn't work.
Fixes#1340
The commit uses a fixed kernel branch (r8), which fixes a caching bug
observable in the Genode host. The quirk detecting the circumstance in the
timer service is obsolete now and is removed.
Fixes#1338
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.
! <start name="test">
! <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>
This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test". Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.
The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.
Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.
This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.
fix#1275
The way this function is currently used in dde_linux expects this
function to return. Since there is dde_kit_panic it should better
be used in such a case the output should block.
This patch ensures that priority values passed as session arguments
are within the valid range of priorities. Without the clamping, a child
could specify a priority of a lower priority band than the one assigned
to the subsystem. Thanks to Johannes Schlatow for reporting this issue.
Fixes#1279
The alias is rather Linux-specific and also prevents particularly
tailored jiffies implementations. For the existing dde_linux ports (usb
and lxip) we just define jiffies to be dde_kit_timer_ticks with a
preprocessor macro.
The new 'session_control' function can be used to perform operations on
the global view stack that span one or multiple sessions, e.g., bringing
all views of specific sessions to the front, or hiding them.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
This patch add an optional alpha argument to the constructor, which may
be passed to a pixel type representing an alpha channel. Furthermore,
a new overload of the mix function has been added to accommodate use
cases where one texture is applied to both a pixel surface and an alpha
channel.
When X-ray mode is active, nitpicker filters motion events that are not
referring to the currently focused domain. However, domains configured
as xray="no" (such as a panel) need to obtain motion events regardless
of the xray mode. This patch relaxes the motion-event filtering to
accommodate such clients.
The buffer offset was wrongly accounted for. The miscalculation went
unnoticed until now because the buffer offset was apparently never used
in combination with alpha-channels.
If a domain is configured as xray="no", we want to let the views of the
domain respond to input events like in flat mode, even if xray mode is
active. Normally, the input mask of views with an alpha channel is
disregarded in X-ray mode. However, for non-ray views, the input mask
should always be considered.
The 'Signal_rpc_member' takes care about dissolving its signal context
from the receiver. So we don't need to manually perform this operation
in the session destructor.
It turned out that the controller configuration can change during the self
tests, so now it is read before running the tests and restored afterwards.
Fixes#1260.
This component merges the input events of multiple sources.
Example configuration:
<start name="input_merger">
<resource name="RAM" quantum="1M" />
<provides>
<service name="Input" />
</provides>
<config>
<input label="ps2" />
<input label="usb_hid" />
</config>
<route>
<service name="Input">
<if-arg key="label" value="ps2" /> <child name="ps2_drv" />
</service>
<service name="Input">
<if-arg key="label" value="usb_hid" /> <child name="usb_drv" />
</service>
<any-service> <parent /> <any-child /> </any-service>
</route>
</start>
For each 'input' config node, the component opens an 'Input' session with the
configured label. This label is then evaluated by 'init' to route the session
request to a specific input source component.
Fixes#1259.
The backend allocator for the slab is a sliced heap, which hands out
allocations with page-size granularity (4096 bytes). Therefore, the
slab-block size should also be about a multiple of the page size minus
some bytes of overhead.
Additional adjustments:
- The slab-block size and the default quota-upgrade amount for SIGNAL
sessions depends on the platform bit width now.
- The signal test also stresses the case of many managed context in one
session including creation and destruction of the used signal receiver
in repeated rounds.
- correctly catch and report non-existing root directories
- remove *all* leading slashes from root-directory attributes and
sanitize empty declarations to current working directory
