Unify handling of UTCBs. The utcb of the main thread is with commit
ea38aad30e at a fixed location - per convention.
So we can remove all the ugly code to transfer the utcb address during process
creation.
To do so also the UTCB of the main thread of Core must be inside Genode's
thread context area to handle it the same way. Unfortunately the UTCB of the
main thread of Core can't be chosen, it is defined by the kernel.
Possible solutions:
- make virtual address of first thread UTCB configurable in hypervisor
- map the utcb of the first thread inside Core to the desired location
This commit implements the second option.
Kernel patch: make utcb map-able
With the patch the Utcb of the main thread of Core is map-able.
Fixes#374
Noux actually uses the sp variable during thread creation and expects to be
set accordingly. This wasn't the case for the main thread, it was ever set
to the address of the main thread UTCB.
This patch adds libstdc++ to libports. With the previous version of the
stdcxx library, the build system used the C++ standard library that
comes with the compiler. This mechanism was prone to inconsistencies of
types defined in the header files used at compile time of the tool chain
and the types provided by our libc. By building the C++ standard library
as part of the Genode build process, such inconsistencies cannot happen
anymore.
Note that the patch changes the meaning of the 'stdcxx' library for
users that happened to rely on 'stdcxx' for hybrid Linux/Genode
applications. For such uses, the original mechanism is still available,
in the renamed form of 'toolchain_stdcxx'.
Due to recent changes on the Fiasco.OC platform, when building ldso
applications for this platform the std::terminate function is needed
by the ~Ipc_server destructor. So we've to add it to ldso's whitelist.
