VM-exit interruption info was dropped and Vbox only needs guest CR3
value for guest-physical memory translation but does not actually change
it since the VM is running in unrestricted guest mode.
Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:
* GDB extensions for Fiasco.OC
* i.MX53 support for Fiasco.OC
* Kernel debugger terminal driver
* Obsolete interface Native_pd
* Obsolete function of interface Native_cpu
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.
Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.
This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.
Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.
At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.
If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:
<default-route>
<service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
<parent diag="yes"/>
</service>
...
</default-route>
For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.
Fixes#2398
This patch replaces the 'Parent::Quota_exceeded',
'Service::Quota_exceeded', and 'Root::Quota_exceeded' exceptions
by the single 'Insufficient_ram_quota' exception type.
Furthermore, the 'Parent' interface distinguished now between
'Out_of_ram' (the child's RAM is exhausted) from
'Insufficient_ram_quota' (the child's RAM donation does not suffice to
establish the session).
This eliminates ambiguities and removes the need to convert exception
types along the path of the session creation.
Issue #2398
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).
Issue #2398
The 'Ram_allocator' interface contains the subset of the RAM session
interface that is needed to satisfy the needs of the 'Heap' and
'Sliced_heap'. Its small size makes it ideal for intercepting memory
allocations as done by the new 'Constrained_ram_allocator' wrapper
class, which is meant to replace the existing 'base/allocator_guard.h'
and 'os/ram_session_guard.h'.
Issue #2398
causes the rem timer callback pending check to run more often (every 1 ms
instead 10 ms). This is essential to met the timeout requirements of the
audio backend, which must be checked&run every 5ms.
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
- use more upstream hm code
- add call to memory check as done in vbox4
- add in principle all vbox devices and drivers
- avoid null pointer during VM startup (patch reported to vbox-devel list)
- avoid endless loop in usb root hub
Issue #2338
Since init no longer provides public headers, we have to adjust the
existing users of this headers. The 'init/child_config.h' is used only
by GDB monitor. So the patch moves the header there as an interim fix.
The 'init/child_policy.h' is still used by a few components, so we have
to keep a trimmed-down version of it for now.
The initial ROMs (program and linker) are already attached to the region
map of a forked process and don't need to be obtained again from an
external ROM service when the 'Child' class asks for them. For the program
image, the local Noux ROM service already returned an invalid dataspace
capability, but not for the linker.
Instead of adding another 'magic' ROM name for the local ROM service,
this commit implements an 'empty' ROM service, which returns an
invalid dataspace for the initial ROMs.
Fixes#2272
Otherwise it may happend that the Guest tries to set the last stored
resolution from another run, which maybe is too large.
Up to now, everthing is fine, beside the fact that output changes are not
visible - which is odd and one things the VM came not up.

that happened during early bootup.
The signal about input events may arrive before keyboard and mouse is set
(due wait_and_dispatch_one_signal called from a started pthread and ep still
not done with the initialisation)
