This patch reflects eventual allocation errors in a more specific way to
the caller of 'alloc_aligned', in particular out-of-metadata and
out-of-memory are considered as different conditions.
Related to issue #526.
Implement 'Signal_receiver::pending()'.
Provide display-subsystem MMIO.
Avoid method ambiguousness in 'Irq_context' in
'dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/signal/irq.cc'
(it derives from two list element classes when using 'base_hw').
Enables demo scenario with 'hw_panda_a2'.
By adding a "mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" attribute/value pair to the nic_bridge's
configuration one can define the first MAC address from which the nic_brigde
will allocate MACs for it's clients. Note: that the least relevant byte will
be ignored, and ranges from 0-255. Fixes#424.
The memory allocation heuristics in the usb driver provided by dde_linux
changed with the recent commit 71b2b42936.
Apparently, the new variant requires a larger memory pool. Increasing
the quota is a temporary fix until the memory allocator gets revisited.
On systems that use multiple UHCI/EHCI controllers, synchronize access to low
level interrupt handler. Let 'device_may_wakeup' return 1, so suspended
controllers will send interrupts upon device connection. Make sure URBs are
shutdown upon disconnect.
Fixes#332
Added SKB bitmap allocator, use Nic::Packet_allocator in packet stream, use slab
allocators on top of back-end AVL allocator, split allocators in cached/uncached
for general purpose/DMA allocation, added patch to original code to distinguish
cached or uncached memory requests, take advantage of and implement TX bursts
(or SKB batching), call interrupt handlers until they return unhandled.
Added support for more than one UHCI controller. Make sure the 'PIRQ' bit in the
legacy support register (PCI config space) of the UHCI controller is enabled and
also that the 'Trap on IRQ' bit is disabled. Fix offset bug in PCI-config space
emulation for Linux.
Fixes#282
The block test at test/ahci is indeed not AHCI-specific. It is a generic
block read/write test for the block-session interface. But in contrast
to the original test/block, it restores the block device content (at
least when the test succeeds). Hence, we remove the original (dangerous)
block test and always use code of test/ahci.
The new 'dde_linux' repository will host device drivers ported from the
Linux kernel. In contrast to the original 'linux_drivers' repository,
'dde_linux' does not contain any 3rd-party source code. To download the
Linux kernel source code and extract the drivers, execute the 'make
prepare' rule of the top-level Makefile. The initial version of the
'dde_linux' repository comes with an USB driver. The porting methodology
follows the path of the Intel GEM port. Instead of attempting to provide
a generic Linux environment that works across drivers, each driver comes
with a specially tailored DDE.
The DDE consists of Genode-specific implementations of Linux API
functions as declared in 'lx_emul.h'. Most of these functions are
dummies that must merely be provided to resolve dependencies at the
linking stage. They are called by unused code-paths.
As of now, the USB driver support UHCI, EHCI on the x86_32 platform. I
exposes USB HID devices and USB storage devices via Genode's input-session
and block-session respectively.
The USB driver is accompanied with two run scripts 'run/usb_hid.run' and
'run/usb_storage.run'.
