3049c1004c Turn 'Timer::Session' into asynchronous interface
The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of
long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out
to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer
client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a
multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call
by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in
an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can
be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single
thread.

The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA,
L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this
patch adds the timer test to autopilot.

fcca4f3466 Init: handle reconfiguration
With this change, init becomes able to respond to config changes by
restarting the scenario with the new config. To make this feature useful
in practice, init must not fail under any circumstances. Even on
conditions that were considered as fatal previously and led to the abort
of init (such as ambiguous names of the children or misconfiguration in
general), init must stay alive and responsive to config changes.

fe734272bc Make 'config()' convenience utility more robust
This patch improves the config handling by falling back to a static
string (empty "<config />") if no valid config ROM module could be
found. This can happen initially, but also at runtime when the ROM
module dissapears, e.g., a ROM module accessed via fs_rom where the
corresponding file gets unlinked.

af66043b79 New Input::Event::FOCUS, rename keycode to code
This patch introduces keyboard-focus events to the 'Input::Event' class
and changes the name 'Input::Event::keycode' to 'code'. The 'code'
represents the key code for PRESS/RELEASE events, and the focus state
for FOCUS events (0 - unfocused, 1 - focused).

Furthermore, nitpicker has been adapted to deliver FOCUS events to its
clients.

277af91376 Omit child-name prefix in <if-args> check
When matching the 'label' session argument using '<if-args>' in a

the same for all sessions originating from the child anyway. Therefore,
this patch adds a special case for matching session labels. It makes the

ecdbdef8ee Loader: reflect faults to client
With this patch, the loader installs an optional client-provided fault
handler as default CPU exception handler and RM fault handler for all
CPU and RM sessions of the loaded subsystem. This way, loader clients
become able to respond to failures occuring within the subsystem.

The new feature is provided via the added 'Loader::fault_handler' RPC
function.

The 'run/failsafe' test covers two cases related to the loader, which
are faults produced by the immediate child of the loader and faults
produced by indirect children.

959df5d46b Generalize handling of PD-session arguments
On Linux, we want to attach additional attributes to processes, i.e.,
the chroot location, the designated UID, and GID. Instead of polluting
the generic code with such Linux-specific platform details, I introduced
the new 'Native_pd_args' type, which can be customized for each
platform. The platform-dependent policy of init is factored out in the
new 'pd_args' library.

The new 'base-linux/run/lx_pd_args.run' script can be used to validate
the propagation of those attributes into core.

Note that this patch does not add the interpretation of the new UID and
PID attributes by core. This will be subject of a follow-up patch.

b45242c50f Add chroot support to core
Since the recent move of the process creation into core, the original chroot trampoline
mechanism implemented in 'os/src/app/chroot' does not work anymore. A
process could simply escape the chroot environment by spawning a new
process via core's PD service. Therefore, this patch moves the chroot
support into core. So the chroot policy becomes mandatory part of the
process creation.  For each process created by core, core checks for
'root' argument of the PD session. If a path is present, core takes the
precautions needed to execute the new process in the specified chroot
environment.

This conceptual change implies minor changes with respect to the Genode
API and the configuration of the init process. The API changes are the
enhancement of the 'Genode::Child' and 'Genode::Process' constructors to
take the root path as argument. Init supports the specification of a
chroot per process by specifying the new 'root' attribute to the
'<start>' node of the process. In line with these changes, the
'Loader::Session::start' function has been enhanced with the additional
(optional) root argument.

This is easily fixed with providing a default constructor.

Because of the C++ rules regarding initialer lists code that used
them for View_geometry had to be modified to use a normal construction
call.  In my tests only Nitpicker had to be changed.

94ea3a0acb Move away drivers from generic base-repository
Driver definitions which are used by kernel/core in base-hw, and also by other
drivers (e.g. from the os repository) have to reside in the generic
base-repository, for instance some uart drivers. All drivers which are
interesting for one of the sites only (sp804 for timer driver, or
cortex_a9 cpu driver for base-hw) should reside in the respective repos.

Factorize cpu context out of Cortex A9 specific definitions. Moreover, there
is already a Cpu_state object containing all common ARM registers. We use
this as a base for the cpu context switching done by the base-hw kernel.
The Cpu_state class get extended by a cpu-exception field, that stores the kind
of exception raised when the corresponding context got interrupted. This
information is used not only by the base-hw kernel, but also by the TrustZone
VMM that is build currently.

9f73476b37 New DDE-Linux-based USB driver
The new 'dde_linux' repository will host device drivers ported from the
Linux kernel. In contrast to the original 'linux_drivers' repository,
'dde_linux' does not contain any 3rd-party source code. To download the
Linux kernel source code and extract the drivers, execute the 'make
prepare' rule of the top-level Makefile. The initial version of the
'dde_linux' repository comes with an USB driver. The porting methodology
follows the path of the Intel GEM port. Instead of attempting to provide
a generic Linux environment that works across drivers, each driver comes
with a specially tailored DDE.

The DDE consists of Genode-specific implementations of Linux API
functions as declared in 'lx_emul.h'. Most of these functions are
dummies that must merely be provided to resolve dependencies at the
linking stage. They are called by unused code-paths.

As of now, the USB driver support UHCI, EHCI on the x86_32 platform. I
exposes USB HID devices and USB storage devices via Genode's input-session
and block-session respectively.

The USB driver is accompanied with two run scripts 'run/usb_hid.run' and
'run/usb_storage.run'.

ae1d0c04ae File-system interface, ram_fs, libc-fs
This patch introduces the file-system-session interface, provides an
implementation of this interface in the form of an in-memory file
system, and enables the libc to use the new file-system facility.

The new interface resides in 'os/include/file_system_session/'. It
uses synchronous RPC calls for functions referring to directory
and meta-data handling. For transferring payload from/to files, the
packet-stream interface is used. I envision that the asynchronous design
of the packet-stream interface fits well will the block-session
interface. Compared to Unix-like file-system APIs, Genode's file-system
session interface is much simpler. In particular, it does not support
per-file permissions. On Genode, we facilitate binding policy (such as
write-permission) is sessions rather than individual file objects.

As a reference implementation of the new interface, there is the
new 'ram_fs' service at 'os/src/server/ram_fs'. It stores sparse
files in memory. At the startup, 'ram_fs' is able to populate the
file-system content with directories and ROM modules as specified
in its configuration.

To enable libc-using programs to access the new file-system interface,
there is the new libc plugin at 'libports/src/lib/libc-fs'. Using this
plugin, files stored on a native Genode file system can be accessed
using the traditional POSIX file API.

To see how the three parts described above fit together, the test
case at 'libports/run/libc_fs' can be taken as reference. It reuses
the original 'libc_ffat' test to exercise several file operations
on a RAM file-system using the libc API.

:Known limitations:

The current state should be regarded as work in progress. In particular
the error handling is not complete yet. Not all of the session functions
return the proper exceptions in the event of an error. I plan to
successively refine the interface while advancing the file-system
implementations. Also the support for truncating files and symlink
handling are not yet implemented.

Furthermore, there is much room for optimization, in particular for the
handling of directory entries. Currently, we communicate only one dir
entry at a time, which is bad when traversing large trees. However, I
decided to focus on functionality first and defer optimizations (such as
batching dir entries) to a later stage.

The current implementation does not handle file modification times at
all, which may be a severe limitation for tools that depend on this
information such as GNU make. Support for time will be added after we
have revisited Genode's timer-session interface (issue #1).

bcf6714eff Re-implementation of the loader service, ref #187
The original loader service was primarily motivated by the
browser-plugin scenario presented on our live CD. The new version
implements a more general session interface, which widens the
application scope of the service and, at the same time, reduces its
implementation complexity.

The complexity reduction is achieved by removing the original limitation
of supplying the new sub system as a single binary blob only. The server
used to implement heuristics and functionality for dealing with
different kinds of blobs such as ELF images or TAR archives. This has
been replaced by a session-local ROM service, which can be equipped with
an arbitrary number of ROM modules supplied by the loader client prior
starting the new sub system. Even though the TAR support has been
removed, a separate instance of the 'tar_rom' service can be used within
the subsystem to provide the formerly built-in functionality.

9a00ad7ae3 Support for dynamic ROM sessions, fix #170
This patch introduces support for ROM sessions that update their
provided data during the lifetime of the session. The 'Rom_session'
interface had been extended with the new 'release()' and 'sigh()'
functions, which are needed to support the new protocol. All ROM
services have been updated to the new interface.

Furthermore, the patch changes the child policy of init
with regard to the handling of configuration files. The 'Init::Child'
used to always provide the ROM dataspace with the child's config file
via a locally implemented ROM service. However, for dynamic ROM
sessions, we need to establish a session to the real supplier of the ROM
data. This is achieved by using a new 'Child_policy_redirect_rom_file'
policy to handle the 'configfile' rather than handling the 'configfile'
case entirely within 'Child_config'.

To see the new facility in action, the new 'os/run/dynamic_config.run'
script provides a simple scenario. The config file of the test program
is provided by a service, which generates and updates the config data
at regular intervals.

In addition, new support has been added to let slaves use dynamic
reconfiguration. By using the new 'Child_policy_dynamic_rom_file', the
configuration of a slave can be changed dynamically at runtime via the
new 'configure()' function.

The config is provided as plain null-terminated string (instead of a
dataspace capability) because we need to buffer the config data anyway.
So there is no benefit of using a dataspace. For buffering configuration
data, a 'Ram_session' must be supplied. If no 'Ram_session' is specified
at construction time of a 'Slave_policy', no config is supplied to the
slave (which is still a common case).

An example for dynamically reconfiguring a slave is provided by
'os/run/dynamic_config_slave.run'.

ba248fe554 Add swap and realloc to 'Attached_ram_dataspace'
The new 'swap' and 'realloc' functions are needed in scenarios where
'Attached_ram_dataspace' is used to implement double buffering. The
particular use case is the implementation of dynamic ROM sessions.

319813a59b Merge spin-lock implementations
Separate spin-lock implementation from lock-implementation and put it into a
non-public header, so it can be re-used by the DDE kit's and Fiasco.OC's
capability-allocator spin lock. Fixes issue #123.

d880386091 Qualifying RPC functions as const
This patch makes use of the recently added support for const RPC
functions by turning 'Framebuffer::Session::mode()' and
'Input::Session::is_pending()' into const functions.

48ac5143a2 Add spin lock to DDE Kit
Linux DDE used to implement Linux spin locks based on 'dde_kit_lock'.
This works fine if a spin lock is initialized only once and used
infinitely. But if spin locks are initialized on-the-fly at a high rate,
each initialization causes the allocation of a new 'dde_kit_lock'.
Because in contrast to normal locks, spinlocks cannot be explicitly
destroyed, the spin-lock emulating locks are never freed. To solve the
leakage of locks, there seems to be no other way than to support the
semantics as expected by the Linux drivers. Hence, this patch introduces
a DDE Kit API for spin locks.

0058b15763 Helper for running a service as a child (slave)
The new 'Slave_policy' and 'Slave' classes are built upon the existing
child framework. They support the implementation of scenarios where a
service is started as a child of the client. This is usefull for
employing an existing service implementation as a local utility or
plugin.

c35207d9c4 Add mode_sigh and release to framebuffer::Session
The 'mode_sigh' function allows the client to receive notifications
about server-side display-mode changes. To respond to such a signal, the
client can use the new 'release' function, which acknowledges the mode
change at the server and frees the original framebuffer dataspace. Via a
subsequent call of 'dataspace', a framebuffer dataspace corresponding to
the new mode can be obtained. Related to issue #11.

9e3ecade16 Replace Framebuffer::info by Framebuffer::mode
As a preliminary step for working on issue #11, this patch revisits the
'Framebuffer::info' RPC call. Instead of using C-style out paramters,
the new 'mode()' RPC call returns the mode information as an object of
type 'Mode'. Consequently, mode-specific functions such as
'bytes_per_pixel' have been moved to the new 'Framebuffer::Mode' class.
