This is a generalisation approach of the hw_zynq target. As the boards
typically use UART1 instead of UART0 (used by qemu), we have to
distinguish between those. Moreover, in general hw_zynq does not imply
zynq_qemu anymore, so that the support of particular boards can be
placed in third-party or community repositories (e.g. Genode world).
Fixes#1926
Besides unifying the Msgbuf_base classes across all platforms, this
patch merges the Ipc_marshaller functionality into Msgbuf_base, which
leads to several further simplifications. For example, this patch
eventually moves the Native_connection_state and removes all state
from the former Ipc_server to the actual server loop, which not only
makes the flow of control and information much more obvious, but is
also more flexible. I.e., on NOVA, we don't even have the notion of
reply-and-wait. Now, we are no longer forced to pretend otherwise.
Issue #1832
This patch unifies the CPU session interface across all platforms. The
former differences are moved to respective "native-CPU" interfaces.
NOVA is not covered by the patch and still relies on a custom version of
the core-internal 'cpu_session_component.h'. However, this will soon be
removed once the ongoing rework of pause/single-step on NOVA is
completed.
Fixes#1922
This patch changes the organization of the slab blocks within the slab
allocator. Originally, blocks were kept in a list sorted by the number
of free entries. However, it turned out that the maintenance of this
invariant involves a lot of overhead in the presence of a large number
of blocks. The new implementation manages blocks within a ring in no
particular order and maintains a pointer to the block where the next
allocation is attempted. This alleviates the need for sorting blocks
when allocating and deallocating.
Fixes#1908
This patch ensures that the 'Allocator_avl' releases all memory obtained
from the meta-data allocator at destruction time. If allocations are
still dangling, it produces a warning, hinting at possible memory leaks.
Finally, it properly reverts all 'add_range' operations.
This patch fixes a use-after-free problem raised by the recent ability of
the slab allocator to dynamically release empty slab blocks. The
Rm_session_component::detach function used to rely on the assumption
that the region metadata co-located with the allocator metadata of the
'_map' would stay intact even after a 'free' if the region.
This patch prevents the destruction of the fd allocator when the program
exists. Otherwise, the meta data for file descriptors that were not
manually closed would vanish, which may cause problems in subsequent
destructors.
This patch makes sure that the dataspace pool is flushed before
destructing the heap-local allocator-avl instance. With the original
destruction order, the allocator would still contain dangling
allocations on the account of the dataspace pool when destructed. In
practice, this caused no problem because the underlying backing store is
eventually freed on the destruction of the pool. But it triggers a
runtime warning of the allocator since it has become more strict with
regard to dangling allocations.
This patch removes the dynamically growing slab allocator from the
page-table registry. This has two benefits. First, we alleviate the
corner cases where the slab allocator needed to extend its backing store
while establishing a core-local memory mapping, thereby triggering a
nested core-local mapping. Without this corner case, no reentrant lock
is needed any longer. Second, it removes the dependency from the overly
large old API of the slab allocator. So we can tighten the slab
interface.
Replace the Out_of_node_handles exception with Out_of_metadata.
Clients need to know when the server is out of internal resources,
but not why.
Cleanup and sort the errors at file_system_session.h.
Remove 'Size_limit_reached exception' from File_system, which was
internal to ram_fs.

Opening a VFS handle previously involved allocating from the global heap
at each VFS file system. By amending open with an allocator argument,
dynamic allocation can be partitioned.
A new close method is used to deallocate open handles.

The returned capacity had different semantics dependent on the card
type. For HIGH_CAPACITY cards, the memory capacity is specified in 512kB
blocks. So we should also return 512kB blocks for STANDARD_CAPACITY
cards.
Issue #1925
When init destroys a child server with an open session, the client must
be updated as it will otherwise store a pointer to a no-more existing
service object which will be dereferenced when the child client is
destroyed.
Fixes#1912
First, we use an alternate stack for signal handling now. The stack is
shared among all threads of the component, which is okay as we only
handle exceptions with log output and pass on to the default handler
(that terminates the execution). The primary motivation for the
alternate stack is the detection of SIGSEGV due to stack overflows.
Also, hybrid components now handle exception signals by logging and the
support for multi-threaded applications was improved.
Fixes#1935
This commit introduces the new `Component` interface in the form of the
headers base/component.h and base/entrypoint.h. The os/server.h API
has become merely a compatibilty wrapper and will eventually be removed.
The same holds true for os/signal_rpc_dispatcher.h. The mechanism has
moved to base/signal.h and is now called 'Signal_handler'.
Since the patch shuffles headers around, please do a 'make clean' in the
build directory.
Issue #1832
Prevents the annoying warning about
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'bin/test.img' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
If attached ROM dataspaces are not valid after update(), code that uses
these ROMs produces
void Genode::Volatile_object< <template-parameter-1-1> >::_check_constructed() const [with MT = Genode::Attached_dataspace]: Deref_unconstructed_object
In scenarios where the config ROM is loaded from a report ROM or any
other non-static ROM, config might try to access an invalid dataspace
capability. This patch prevents the component from aborting in this
case.
Fixes#1914
This commit replaces the stateful 'Ipc_client' type with the plain
function 'ipc_call' that takes all the needed state as arguments.
The stateful 'Ipc_server' class is retained but it moved from the public
API to the internal ipc_server.h header. The kernel-specific
implementations were cleaned up and simplified. E.g., the 'wait'
function does no longer exist. The badge and exception code are no
longer carried in the message buffers but are handled in kernel-specific
ways.
