This patch is the first step of re-organizing the internal structure of
the libc. The original version involved many direct calls of global
functions (often with side effects) across compilation units, which
made the control flow (e.g., the initialization sequence) hard to
follow.
The new version replaces those ad-hoc interactions with dedicated
interfaces (like suspend.h, resume.h, select.h, current_time.h). The
underlying facilities are provided by the central Libc::Kernel and
selectively propagated to the various compilation units. The latter is
done by a sequence of 'init_*' calls, which eventually will be replaced
by constructor calls.
The addition of new headers increases the chance for name clashes with
existing (public) headers. To disambiguate libc-internal header files
from public headers, this patch moves the former into a new 'internal/'
subdirectory. This makes the include directives easier to follow and the
libc's source-tree structure more tidy.
There are still a few legacies left, which cannot easily be removed
right now (e.g., because noux relies on them). However, the patch moves
those bad apples to legacy.h and legacy.cc, which highlights the
deprecation of those functions.
Issue #3497
This enforces the use of unsigned 64-bit values for time in the duration type,
the timeout framework, the timer session, the userland timer-drivers, and the
alarm framework on all platforms. The commit also adapts the code that uses
these tools accross all basic repositories (base, base-*, os. gems, libports,
ports, dde_*) to use unsigned 64-bit values for time as well as far as this
does not imply profound modifications.
Fixes#3208
FreeBSD implements 'clock' with an accuracy of 128 ticks-per-second for
compatibility reasons, Linux uses 1000000 per-second. Remove 'clock' and
print an error because it is unlikely that this is the resolution
expected by the application.
Fix#3057
Use the Timer session duration for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_UPTIME.
Use the Genode::Duration object for passing internal time, it supports
sub-millisecond time and helps disambiguate units of time.
Fix#3018
This patch makes the creation of the libc's timer session depend on
whether or not the 'rtc' attribute of the <libc> configuration is
defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime' returns 0.
