Norman Feske 21de42c45d core: Introduce 'Address_space' interface
The new core-internal 'Address_space' interface enables cores RM service
to flush mappings of a PD in which a given 'Rm_client' thread resides.
Prior this patch, each platform invented their own way to flush mappings
in the respective 'rm_session_support.cc' implementation. However, those
implementations used to deal poorly with some corner cases. In
particular, if a PD session was destroyed prior a RM session, the RM
session would try to use no longer existing PD session. The new
'Address_space' uses the just added weak-pointer mechanism to deal with
this issue.

Furthermore, the generic 'Rm_session_component::detach' function has
been improved to avoid duplicated unmap operations for platforms that
implement the 'Address_space' interface. Therefore, it is related to
issue #595. Right now, this is OKL4 only, but other platforms will follow.

Norman Feske fae63f4fa9 Merge base libraries into a single library
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.

Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:

- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
  On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
  identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
  processes

Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.

Fixes #18

Norman Feske bcdc706f42 Unify 'ipc.h' and 'ipc_generic.h' across platforms
The distinction between 'ipc.h' and 'ipc_generic.h' is no more. The only
use case for platform-specific extensions of the IPC support was the
marshalling of capabilities. However, this case is accommodated by a
function interface ('_marshal_capability', '_unmarshal_capability'). By
moving the implementation of these functions from the headers into the
respective ipc libraries, we can abandon the platform-specific 'ipc.h'
headers.

Norman Feske b1f63e3356 Turn 'platform_env.h' into a private header
This patch removes 'platform_env.h' from the public API headers because
this header was not part of the API anyway.

Norman Feske 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.

Related to #510.

Stefan Kalkowski 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.

Norman Feske 83bdfea9b0 Extend Cpu_session with thread-affinity API
This patch introduces the functions 'affinity' and 'num_cpus' to the CPU
session interface. The interface extension will allow the assignment of
individual threads to CPUs. At this point, it is just a stub with no
actual platform support.

Norman Feske 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.

Stefan Kalkowski ae8cf5f44d Rename tid() to dst() in Native_capability.
As suggested by Norman in the discussion of issue #145, this commit
renames the tid() accessor in Native_capability to dst().

Stefan Kalkowski 42b7c01685 Unify policy name for Native_capability_tpl.
This commit unifies the policy name for the template argument for
Native_capability_tpl to Cap_dst_policy, like suggested by Norman in the
discussion resulting from issue #145. Moreover, it takes the memcpy
operation for copying a Native_capability out of the template, which is
included by a significant bunch of files, and separates it in a library,
analog to the suggestion in issue #145.

Norman Feske 35384faa7a Follow-up tweaks for issue #145
Because we use to pass a policy class to 'Native_capability_tpl'
we can pass the dst type as part of the policy instead of as
a separate template argument. This patch also adds documentation
of the POLICY interface as expected by 'Native_capability_tpl'.

Stefan Kalkowski c9c21ad39c Merge Native_capability implementations (fix #145).
This patch unifies the Native_capability classes for the different kernel
platforms by introducing an appropriate template, and eliminating naming
differences. Please refer issue #145.

Stefan Kalkowski 9992efed03 Don't memcpy the parent capability. Fix #144.
To give the platform developer more freedom in how the Native_capability
class is internally implemented (e.g. turning it into a smart-pointer),
this patch removes the memcpy operation, when transfering the parent-capability
to a new process from the generic code, and let the implementation of the
platform-specific Native_capability decide how the transfer has to be done.
Please refer to issue #144.

Stefan Kalkowski fa377f0df5 Make local capability interface explicit. Fix #139.
Introduce a factory-, and dereference method for local capabilities. These are
capabilities that reference objects of services, which are known to be used
protection-domain internally only. To support the new Capability class methods
a protected constructor and accessor to the local object's pointer is needed
in the platform's capability base-classes. For further discussion details please
refer issue #139.
