Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to 'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and 'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively. On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables. In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and 'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed bindings) Fixes #233, fixes #234 |

Vancouver is a virtual machine monitor specifically developed for the use with the NOVA hypervisor. It virtualizes 32bit x86 PC hardware including various peripherals. The combination of NOVA and Vancouver is described in the following paper by Udo Steinberg and Bernhard Kauer: [http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/papers_ps/steinberg_eurosys2010.pdf - NOVA: A Microhypervisor-Based Secure Virtualization Architecture] The official project website is [http://hypervisor.org].
