With this patch clients of the RM service can state if they want a mapping
to be executable or not. This allows dataspaces to be mapped as
non-executable on Linux by default and as executable only if needed.
Partially fixes#176.
This patch reads program arguments from the config file and makes them
available to the application via the 'argc' and 'argv' arguments of the
'main()' function. The configuration syntax looks like this:
<config>
<arg value="...">
<arg value="...">
...
</config>
The 'value' attribute of the first <arg> node becomes 'argv[0]' and so on.
Fixes#184.
The 'copy_to' function turned out to be not flexible enough to
accommodate the Noux fork mechanism. This patch removes the function,
adds an accessor for the capability destination and a compound type
'Native_capability::Raw' to be used wherever plain capability
information must be communicated.
This commit unifies the policy name for the template argument for
Native_capability_tpl to Cap_dst_policy, like suggested by Norman in the
discussion resulting from issue #145. Moreover, it takes the memcpy
operation for copying a Native_capability out of the template, which is
included by a significant bunch of files, and separates it in a library,
analog to the suggestion in issue #145.
Because we use to pass a policy class to 'Native_capability_tpl'
we can pass the dst type as part of the policy instead of as
a separate template argument. This patch also adds documentation
of the POLICY interface as expected by 'Native_capability_tpl'.
This patch unifies the Native_capability classes for the different kernel
platforms by introducing an appropriate template, and eliminating naming
differences. Please refer issue #145.
To give the platform developer more freedom in how the Native_capability
class is internally implemented (e.g. turning it into a smart-pointer),
this patch removes the memcpy operation, when transfering the parent-capability
to a new process from the generic code, and let the implementation of the
platform-specific Native_capability decide how the transfer has to be done.
Please refer to issue #144.
Introduce a factory-, and dereference method for local capabilities. These are
capabilities that reference objects of services, which are known to be used
protection-domain internally only. To support the new Capability class methods
a protected constructor and accessor to the local object's pointer is needed
in the platform's capability base-classes. For further discussion details please
refer issue #139.
On Ubuntu 11.10 the host library created for the 'lx_hybrid_ctors' test
doesn't get loaded, because the test object in the library is not being
used by the application. This commit fixes the problem by having the
application call a dummy function in the library.
Fixes#120.
Move the definition of '_GNU_SOURCE' from 'import-lx_hybrid.mk' to
'import-syscall.mk' because this definition may (potentially) affect all
programs that include Linux headers installed on the host - not only
hybrid Linux/Genode programs. Fixes#52
- Let hybrid Linux/Genode programs use POSIX threads for the
implementation of the Thread API.
- Prevent linkage of cxx library to hybrid Linux/Genode programs because
the cxx functionality is covered by glibc.
