42db1e112b hw: introduce kernel/user address space split
* introduces central memory map for core/kernel
* on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000
* on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000
* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
  thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area
* differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB,
  which now resides inside the kernel segment

a004462096 hw: fix capability accounting of kernel/core
The recently implemented capability resource trading scheme unfortunately
broke the automated capability memory upgrade mechanism needed by base-hw
kernel/core. This commit splits the capability memory upgrade mechanism
from the PD session ram_quota upgrade, and moves that functionality
into a separate Pd_session::Native_pd interface.

963a6c37a0 core: equip signal-context slab with initial block
By supplying a statically allocated initial block to the slab allocator
for signal contexts, we become able to construct a 'Signal_broker' (the
back end for the PD's signalling API) without any dynamic memory
allocation. This is a precondition for using the PD as meta-data
allocator for its contained signal broker (meta data allocations must
not happen before the PD construction is complete).

a1df4fee44 base: restructure signal-submit initialization
This patch allows core's 'Signal_transmitter' implementation to sidestep
the 'Env::Pd' interface and thereby adhere to a stricter layering within
core. The 'Signal_transmitter' now uses - on kernels that depend on it -
a dedicated (and fairly freestanding) RPC proxy mechanism for signal
deliver, instead of channeling signals through the 'Pd_session::submit'
RPC function.

c70fed29f7 os/timer: interpolate time via timestamps
Previously, the Genode::Timer::curr_time always used the
Timer_session::elapsed_ms RPC as back end.  Now, Genode::Timer reads
this remote time only in a periodic fashion independently from the calls
to Genode::Timer::curr_time. If now one calls Genode::Timer::curr_time,
the function takes the last read remote time value and adapts it using
the timestamp difference since the remote-time read. The conversion
factor from timestamps to time is estimated on every remote-time read
using the last read remote-time value and the timestamp difference since
the last remote time read.

This commit also re-works the timeout test. The test now has two stages.
In the first stage, it tests fast polling of the
Genode::Timer::curr_time. This stage checks the error between locally
interpolated and timer-driver time as well as wether the locally
interpolated time is monotone and sufficiently homogeneous. In the
second stage several periodic and one-shot timeouts are scheduled at
once. This stage checks if the timeouts trigger sufficiently precise.

This commit adds the new Kernel::time syscall to base-hw. The syscall is
solely used by the Genode::Timer on base-hw as substitute for the
timestamp. This is because on ARM, the timestamp function uses the ARM
performance counter that stops counting when the WFI (wait for
interrupt) instruction is active. This instruction, however is used by
the base-hw idle contexts that get active when no user thread needs to
be scheduled.  Thus, the ARM performance counter is not a good choice for
time interpolation and we use the kernel internal time instead.

With this commit, the timeout library becomes a basic library. That means
that it is linked against the LDSO which then provides it to the program it
serves. Furthermore, you can't use the timeout library anymore without the
LDSO because through the kernel-dependent LDSO make-files we can achieve a
kernel-dependent timeout implementation.

This commit introduces a structured Duration type that shall successively
replace the use of Microseconds, Milliseconds, and integer types for duration
values.

Open issues:

* The timeout test fails on Raspberry PI because of precision errors in the
  first stage. However, this does not render the framework unusable in general
  on the RPI but merely is an issue when speaking of microseconds precision.

* If we run on ARM with another Kernel than HW the timestamp speed may
  continuously vary from almost 0 up to CPU speed. The Timer, however,
  only uses interpolation if the timestamp speed remained stable (12.5%
  tolerance) for at least 3 observation periods. Currently, one period is
  100ms, so its 300ms. As long as this is not the case,
  Timer_session::elapsed_ms is called instead.

  Anyway, it might happen that the CPU load was stable for some time so
  interpolation becomes active and now the timestamp speed drops. In the
  worst case, we would now have 100ms of slowed down time. The bad thing
  about it would be, that this also affects the timeout of the period.
  Thus, it might "freeze" the local time for more than 100ms.

  On the other hand, if the timestamp speed suddenly raises after some
  stable time, interpolated time can get too fast. This would shorten the
  period but nonetheless may result in drifting away into the far future.
  Now we would have the problem that we can't deliver the real time
  anymore until it has caught up because the output of Timer::curr_time
  shall be monotone. So, effectively local time might "freeze" again for
  more than 100ms.

  It would be a solution to not use the Trace::timestamp on ARM w/o HW but
  a function whose return value causes the Timer to never use
  interpolation because of its stability policy.

4d442bca30 Streamline exception types
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.

Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.

This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).

1f4f119b1e Capability quota accounting and trading
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.

Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.

At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.

If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:

  <default-route>
    <service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
      <parent diag="yes"/>
    </service>
    ...
  </default-route>

For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.

e44f65f3b2 core: RAM service based on 'Session_object'
This patch reworks the implementation of core's RAM service to make use
of the 'Session_object' and to remove the distinction between the
"metadata" quota and the managed RAM quota. With the new implementation,
the session implicitly allocates its metadata from its own account. So
there is not need to handle 'Out_of_metadata' and 'Quota_exceeded' via
different exceptions. Instead, the new version solely uses the
'Out_of_ram' exception.

Furthermore, the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception has become an alias
for 'Out_of_ram', which simplifies the error handling.
