This patch moves details about the stack allocation and organization
the base-internal headers. Thereby, I replaced the notion of "thread
contexts" by "stacks" as this term is much more intuitive. The fact that
we place thread-specific information at the bottom of the stack is not
worth introducing new terminology.
Issue #1832
- Use 'label' attribute to identify device instead of
bus/dev and vendor_id/product_id
- Implement release_interface RPC
- Report 'label' as well as 'bus' and 'dev'
- Add policy handling to raw driver (includes reconfiguration
at runtime)
- Use own memory backing store for large DMA allocations
Issue #1863.
Thanks to the log_terminal server, we no longer rely on a separate UART
for the noux output. We also skip the indirection of using a tar archive
but rather start the test-noux_form program as a mounted ROM module.
With commit e74b53d5dd the fork semantic in noux
changed slightly, and broke platforms like hw & sel4, where the UTCB is mapped
directly into the thread's context area. The change moved the re-initialization
to a point where the new noux process' thread stack-pointer was already switched
back to the context area. But to re-initialize the context area RPC calls must
be done, and the UTCB must be used therefore. On the other side the UTCB is
found implicitly by the stack-pointer, whereby a stack-pointer located in the
context-area refers to a UTCB that is expected to reside in the context-area
as well. But the UTCB gets overlayed inside the context area by the
context-area's re-initialization - we've come round in a circle.
This commit rolls back the move of the re-initialization routine. To preserve
the intention of the original commit, the context-area location is stored in
a static variable, so that the Native_config API is not needed anymore.
Fix#1851
Executing the system call will change the input fds as a side-effect
because the select_in.fds and select_out.fds structure are part of a
union. Since the original select_in.fds content is needed afterwards
make a copy instead of using a reference.
Fixes#1809.
If the injection of an event causes an EPT violation, the event must be
injected again. This commit implements the reinjection for the case that
the EPT violation can be resolved without involving the recompiler.
Fixes#1798
Instead of just red messages in the log and a hanging caller, the issuer
may respond to it - e.g. a noux bash shell will show an error and is
afterwards still usable.
Fixes#1778
Trapping rdtsc creates a huge load in some guests, e.g. Windows 8.1,
that use this instruction very frequently. This influences audio
playback/recording in a bad way (distorted sounds, …). As a interim
solution disable the virtualization of rdtsc completely. As long
as each guest VM runs on its own CPU core it should be fine as there
should not be that much interference (TSC warping).
That being said, TSC offsetting as well as adjusting within vbox have to
be evaluated.
Fixes#1768.
- we claim to have no limits on file handles and number of threads
- remove obsolete Thread_base::myself fall-back code for stack size calculation
Issue #1733.
Defer destruction of threads which tries to self-destruct. Check an perform
cleanup of such threads during pthread_cancel and pthread_create.
Issue #1687
Instead of white-listing floppy controllers, certain SCSI controllers
as well as ISAPnP etc. pp. remove the diagnostics and print each access
if verbose is set.
Fixes#1726.
Instead of using the alarm_timer thread we use our own timer thread
that uses a kernel semaphore on Nova. On all other platforms a timer
connection and trigger_once is used.
Fixes#1727.
* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators
