e8c063a8b4 base: release signal context from signal list
Remove signal context object from signal source component list (_signal_queue)
before destruction, otherwise we get a dangling pointer.

On native hardware for base-nova, the signal source thread triggered page
faults in the Signal_source_component::wait_for_signal() method when the signal
context got freed up in Signal_session_component::free_context but was still
enqueued in Signal_source_component::_signal_queue.

Fixes #600

c2d3543e62 base: replace obj_by_* by lookup_and_lock
Add functionality to lookup an object and lock it. Additional the case is
handled that a object may be already in-destruction and the lookup will deny
returning the object.

The object_pool generalize the lookup and lock functionality of the rpc_server
and serve as base for following up patches to fix dangling pointer issues.

9f82764316 core: Introduce default CPU exception handler
The CPU session interfaces comes with the ability to install an
exception handler per thread. This patch enhances the feature with the
provision of a default signal handler that is used if no thread-specific
handler is installed. The default signal handler can be set by
specifying an invalid thread capability and a valid signal context
capability.

Furthermore, this patch relaxes the requirement of the order of the
calls of 'exception_handler' and 'set_pager'. Originally, the exception
handler could be installed not before setting a pager. Now, we remember
the installed exception handler in the 'Cpu_thread' and propagate to to
the platform thread at a later time.

46a81ab890 foc: don't call 'sleep_forever()' on thread exit
The generic 'sleep_forever()' function creates an Ipc_server object which
might not get cleaned up correctly when the thread gets destroyed and
unneeded capability references could remain and drain the capability index
allocator. With this patch a lock gets used on thread exit instead of
calling 'sleep_forever()'.

Fixes #538.

0dbb5e1696 Propagate 'Range_allocator::alloc_aligned' errors

the caller of 'alloc_aligned', in particular out-of-metadata and

5c8373bec3 Cleanup destruction of RPC entrypoints
This patch introduces clean synchronization between the entrypoint
thread and the caller of the 'Rpc_entrypoint' destructor. The most
important change is the handling of the 'Ipc_server' destruction. This
object is in the local scope of the server's entry function. However,
since the server loop used to be an infinite loop, there was hardly any
chance to destruct the object in a clean way. Hence, the
'Rpc_entrypoint' destructor used to explicitly call '~Ipc_server'.
Unfortunately, this approach led to problems because there are indeed
rare cases where the server thread leaves the scope of the entry
function, namely uncaught exceptions. In such a case, the destructor
would have been called twice.

With the new protocol, we make sure to leave the scope of the entry
function and thereby destroy the 'Ipc_server' object as expected. This
is achieved by propagating the exit condition through a local RPC call
to the entrypoint. This way, the blocking state of the entrypoint
becomes unblocked. Furthermore, '~Rpc_entrypoint' makes use of the new
'join' function to wait for the completion of the server thread.

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.

bcabbe2c92 Add 'Thread_base::join()'
Using the new 'join()' function, the caller can explicitly block for the
completion of the thread's 'entry()' function. The test case for this
feature can be found at 'os/src/test/thread_join'. For hybrid
Linux/Genode programs, the 'Thread_base::join()' does not map directly
to 'pthread_join'. The latter function gets already called by the
destructor of 'Thread_base'. According to the documentation, subsequent
calls of 'pthread_join' for one thread may result in undefined behaviour.
So we use a 'Genode::Lock' on this platform, which is in line with the
other platforms.

dc3d784e6d Introduce platform-specific services for core
By now all services in core where created, and registered in the generic
main routine. Although there exists already a x86-specific service (I/O ports)
there was no possibility to announce core-services for certain platforms only.
This commit introduces a hook function in the 'Platform' class, that enables
registration of platform-specific services. Moreover, the io-port service
is offered on x86 platforms only now.

28614ce518 Fiasco.OC: fix capability ref-counter issue in core

a5ea6765d1 Fiasco.OC: several capability ref-counter fixes.
This commit fixes several issues that were triggered e.g. by the
'noux_tool_chain' run-script (fix #208 in part). The following problems
are tackled:
* Don't reference count capability selectors within a task that are actually
  controlled by core (all beneath 0x200000), because it's undecideable which
  "version" of a capability selector we currently use, e.g. a thread gets
  destroyed and a new one gets created immediately some other thread might
  have a Native_capability pointing to the already destroyed thread's gate
  capability-slot, that is now a new valid one (the one of the new thread)
* In core we cannot invalidate and remove a capability from the so called
  Cap_map before each reference to it is destroyed, so don't do this in
  Cap_session_component::free, but only reference-decrement within there,
  the actual removal can only be done in Cap_map::remove. Because core also
  has to invalidate a capability to be removed in all protection-domains
  we have to implement a core specific Cap_map::remove method
* When a capability gets inserted into the Cap_map, and we detect an old
  invalid entry with the dame id in the tree, don't just overmap that
  invalid entry (as there exist remaining references to it), but just remove
  it from the tree and allocate an new entry.
* Use the Cap_session_component interface to free a Pager_object when it
  gets dissolved, as its also used for allocation

288fd4e56e Add support for allocating DMA memory
This patch extends the RAM session interface with the ability to
allocate DMA buffers. The client specifies the type of RAM dataspace to
allocate via the new 'cached' argument of the 'Ram_session::alloc()'
function. By default, 'cached' is true, which correponds to the common
case and the original behavior. When setting 'cached' to 'false', core
takes the precautions needed to register the memory as uncached in the
page table of each process that has the dataspace attached.

Currently, the support for allocating DMA buffers is implemented for
Fiasco.OC only. On x86 platforms, it is generally not needed. But on
platforms with more relaxed cache coherence (such as ARM), user-level
device drivers should always use uncacheable memory for DMA transactions.

c02f04da76 Fiasco.OC: raise sigma0's priority to maximum.
When sigma0 runs on a lower priority than the rest of the threads in the
system it might come to the point that while answering a page fault or
I/O memory area request the timeslice of the caller (core-pager) gets
fully consumed. As long as other threads are still executable and don't block
sigma0 won't do progress anymore, because it runs at the lowest priority.
This commit simply sets sigma0's priority to the highest in the system.

* While removing a capability it is looked up in the Cap_map via its id,
  check whether the found capability pointer is the same like the looked up,
  otherwise the wrong capability gets freed
* When a local capability is un- resp. marshalled, only the local pointer
  gets transfered, not the redundant capability id
* Introduce several assertions and warnings to facilitate debugging
