Now worked around.
CML2 seems to forget supressing derived symbols that are derived from
suppressed symbols. (Expected behaviour) This caused the configuration parser
to recognize the illegally visible symbols to be from those containers.
Now worked around by adding the extra check for CONFIG_CONTAINERS have been parsed.
A real solution requires fixing CML2 symbol visibility function.
It might be a good idea to simply use mmap() from inside the pager and prefault it
as a conventional way of mapping internal buffers. Will be investigated.
- This would open the way that all internal buffer mapping is
done in a standard way
- Standard syscalls would be possible to use from within the pager.
CML boolean type compiles into #define and #undefs.
This is not useful for capabilities since a value of 0 or 1 can be
used automatically for setting or unsetting bits in permission words.
Meanwhile using an integer type with 0 - 1 range has a worse usability
experience than the boolean Y, N.
Also moved parsing of container.template.cml to newer Python argument
parsing format.
Now, bare containers get their files from conts/bare_src instead of conts/test.
test directory will be used for the next generation test programs.
Also bare_src is tracked by git now with a minor mod to .gitignore.
container packer picks up files with .elf extentions. Therefore intermediate
files must not have .elf extentions, since they're not meant to go to the final
executable.
modified: conts/posix/bootdesc/SConscript
modified: conts/posix/libposix/stat.c
A lot of hassles on standard c library, mock-up libc, and libposix
headers taken from uClibc clashing has been worked around.
Next:
- Linker scripts need fixing and adjusting.
- Bootdesc needs to be generated.
- Per-container compilation scripts need connecting.
This parameter does not significantly pose a restriction on configuration.
It can be adjusted depending on phys_offset. Therefore we don't maintain it.
Added a per-container container.h that inclues useful definitions.
Hello world now is in a separate file not to modify main too often.
hello world now prints container name and id.
It makes more sense to have a scheduler (or runqueue pair) per-cpu
rather than per-container. This provides more flexible global scheduling
policy that is also simpler due to all scheduling details being controlled
from a single point.
Container rules are too many and repetitive for each container. With this
change, the cml file is autogenerated from a container template cml and
the architecture cml, e.g. arm.cml. -c option determines the number of
containers. See build.py -h for more.
