The patches in this directory are modifications of the Fiasco.OC kernel
required for using this kernel with Genode.
:'foc_single_step_x86.patch':
This patch enables the user land to use the CPU's single stepping mode on
x86_32 platforms. It is needed to enable the use of GDB monitor for
user-level debugging.
:'fix_exception_ip.patch':
On the occurrence of undefined-instruction exceptions on ARM, Fiasco.OC
reports a wrong program-counter value to the exception handler. The patch
fixes the problem.
:'jdb_kobject_names.patch':
This patch increases the size of the JDB kernel object names buffer. The
original size was too small for some Genode scenarios and caused missing
thread names in the kernel debugger thread list.
