This patch implements a simple, lightweight form of protection domains
using a pluggable framework. Currently, the following plugin is
available:
- Flat memory model with paging.
The overall goal of a protection domain implementation within this
framework is to define a set of resources that should be accessible to
each protection domain and to prevent that protection domain from
accessing other resources. The details of each implementation of
protection domains may differ substantially, but they should all be
guided by the principle of least privilege. However, that idealized
principle is balanced against the practical objectives of limiting the
number of relatively time-consuming context switches and minimizing
changes to existing code.
For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.
This patch also causes the C compiler to be used as the default linker
and assembler.
This patch adds an example program to print out information about the
configuration of the Intel Quark X1000 SoC Isolated Memory Regions
(IMRs), the Host System Management Mode Controls register, and the
Host Memory I/O Boundary register.
Now callback functions get the URI of the request, this allows to use a
single resource for multiple different URIs.
The is_json flag is now gone for the to-string function, instead the
macro has an is_str flag. If set this automagically produces quotes
around the string for json output.
Now from-string functions can return an error-code, 0 for success, -1
for error.
Otherwise a crash results with a bootloader compiled with a newer AVR
toolchain (e.g. Debian Jessie). If you still have an ages-old bootloader
without a jump-table, as a short-term measure you can revert this change
in your run.sh. As a long-term fix we recommend you get your bootloader
updated!
Now we manage a timezone and daylight-savings aware version of
localtime. We parse UNIX timezone strings. The default (active after the
first call to localtime or localtime_r) is CET/CEST, the timezone of
Europe/Vienna. The wallclock-time osd-example demonstrates how to set a
different timezone via the timezone resource.
Note: After startup no timezone is set. So in this state querying the
timezone resource will return an empty string. After first call to
localtime (if not timezone has been set via the timezone resource) a
query to timezone will return the default timezone string for CET/CEST.
The string returned by the localtime and utc timezones now also includes
the timezone name.
New fields tm_gmtoff and tm_zone were added to the tm structure. These
are available in BSD systems and when setting special compiler
definitions on Linux.
Note: the timezone offset information in the tm structure (tm_gmtoff)
as well as in the tz structure returned by gettimeofday (tz_minuteswest)
may be wrong sign, this code is largely untested.
This patch adds an example for I2C callbacks that is very similar to
the i2c-LSM9DS0 example except that it uses a PWM device that is built
into the platform.
This patch revises the I2C and GPIO initialization code to always be
run during platform boot rather than within each process that requires
it.
This patch also revises the gpio-output example to use a pin that is
set as an output by the default pinmux configuration. Previously, it
used a pin that was set as an output by the pinmux configuration that
is in effect when the OS does not change the pinmux configuration.
