Merge core only libs into the target make-files.
Use base-hw specific Board drivers that inherit
from generic Board_base.
Use Page_flags::access_t instead of additional
page_flags_t.
Fix#570
As iPXE header files are not C++ compatible, the implementation missed
proper include directives. For example, alloc_memblock() had a wrong
signature, which was not detected. Now, C wrapper functions are
implemented using a local API to the C++ backend.
Related to #593.
With this patch, the loader installs an optional client-provided fault
handler as default CPU exception handler and RM fault handler for all
CPU and RM sessions of the loaded subsystem. This way, loader clients
become able to respond to failures occuring within the subsystem.
The new feature is provided via the added 'Loader::fault_handler' RPC
function.
The 'run/failsafe' test covers two cases related to the loader, which
are faults produced by the immediate child of the loader and faults
produced by indirect children.
The CPU session interfaces comes with the ability to install an
exception handler per thread. This patch enhances the feature with the
provision of a default signal handler that is used if no thread-specific
handler is installed. The default signal handler can be set by
specifying an invalid thread capability and a valid signal context
capability.
Furthermore, this patch relaxes the requirement of the order of the
calls of 'exception_handler' and 'set_pager'. Originally, the exception
handler could be installed not before setting a pager. Now, we remember
the installed exception handler in the 'Cpu_thread' and propagate to to
the platform thread at a later time.
With this patch, core responds to SIGCHLD signals of terminating Genode
processes by reflecting these events as exceptions to the CPU session
interface. This way, Genode processes become able to respond to
terminating Genode child processes.
Implement the same semantic like L4Re for the initialization of the initramfs
dataspace. Although, it didn't lead to problems right now, this commit might
prevent future problems.
With this patch hybrid applications get linked with the Genode GCC's
'crtbegin.o' and 'crtend.o' files instead of the host GCC's versions
to avoid compatibility problems. This only affects the 'linux_x86'
platform, since on the 'lx_hybrid_x86' platform the Genode GCC is the
host GCC.
Fixes#550.
It happens that ram_session and rm_session itself are invoking alloc
respectively free on the very same sliced heap inside core.
Lock only the sliced_heap list implementation and let the session locking to
the session implementation of rm_session and ram_session.
The ram_session and rm_session must take care to proper lock since inside
both implementations already the session handling thread and the service thread
are running parallel.
With commit 1389b63050 in thread.cc for base-foc
a bug was fixed, where the memory of the context got freed up before running
the de-constructor.
Apply the fix also to base and base-mb.
For base-nova thread creation related exception can be thrown, since the
Pager_objects are threads. Catch the exception and re-throw the
expected/documented exception in rm_session.
This commit avoids that core dies with an unhandled exception if a thread
couldn't be created (e.g. because the limit has been reached).
Sanity check that the context area has been attached. Otherwise the code
later tries to access the context area and core dies with a unhandled page
fault.
Open VCPU interrupts while the VCPU is in an IPC operation can badly influence
its state. That's why this commit fixes a whole bunch of places, where IRQs
weren't masked by now.
We have to take the block queue's spin lock before invoking the interrupt
routine, otherwise the AVL tree og Genode's block packet stream gets
corrupted.
If no platform thread was created before somebody destroys a thread object,
there is no valid UTCB available. Thereby, we've to check this before accessing
the UTCB when destroying a thread object.
This should ensure that the directory is created before trying to
create a file within it.
This hopefully fixes errors like the following when using parallel
builds:
checking library dependencies...
/bin/bash: line 19: var/libdeps: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [init_libdep_file] Error 1
