Merge core only libs into the target make-files.
Use base-hw specific Board drivers that inherit
from generic Board_base.
Use Page_flags::access_t instead of additional
page_flags_t.
Fix#570
By now there is no use case for read/write a single register
of a thread state. Thus the new syscalls 'read_thread_state' and
'write_thread_state' replace the old ones 'read_register' and
'write_register'.
Add 'resume_faulter' syscall that is similar to 'resume_thread', but
is called only when resuming a thread after resolving its pagefault.
This way the kernel can flush caches after resolving a pagefault. This is
because by now the MMU doesn't use caches when doing a pagetable walk.
Implement 'Signal_receiver::pending()'.
Provide display-subsystem MMIO.
Avoid method ambiguousness in 'Irq_context' in
'dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/signal/irq.cc'
(it derives from two list element classes when using 'base_hw').
Enables demo scenario with 'hw_panda_a2'.
Implies support for the ARMv6 architecture through 'base-hw'.
Get rid of 'base/include/drivers' expect of 'base/include/drivers/uart'.
Merge with the support for trustzone on VEA9X4 that came from
Stefan Kalkowski.
Leave board drivers in 'base/include/platform'.
Rework structure of the other drivers that were moved to
'base_hw/src/core' and those that came with the trustzone support.
Beautify further stuff in 'base_hw'.
Test 'nested_init' with 'hw_imx31' (hardware) and 'hw_panda_a2' (hardware),
'demo' and 'signal' with 'hw_pbxa9' (qemu) and 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, no trustzone), and 'vmm' with 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, with trustzone).
* Introduces Schedule_context
* Use fast-interrupts or normal interrupts
* Add mode-transition between secure/non-secure world
* Limit system resources for Genode apps due to non-secure world
This commit implements the newly introduced Vm session interface to be used
on top of TrustZone capable Armv7 CPUs. Therefore a new Schedule_context is
introduced in the kernel. Threads and Vms are both Schedule_contexts used
by the scheduler. In contrast to a thread a vm uses a different assembler
mode switch to the non-secure, virtual world, as well as another exception
is used, when the non-secure world is left. For both worlds to co-exist
the interrupt-controller needs to be configured, so that the secure (Genode)
world uses fast-interrupts only, and the non-secure world only legacy
interrupts.
The only TrustZone capable platform the base-hw kernel works on top of
is the CoreTile Express 9x4 for the Versatile Express motherboard. For a
virtual machine working properly on top some platform resources must be
reserved. Therefore there exist two flavours of this platform now, one with
the 'trustzone' spec-variable enabled, and one without. If 'trustzone' is
specified most platform resources (DDR-RAM, and most IRQs) are reserved
for the Vm and not available to the secure Genode world.
