Martin Stein bc24a21658 base-hw: embed kernel space into platform thread
Instead of allocating and freeing the space that is needed for the
kernel thread objects from core, wich is not convenient with the
quota system, platform thread now holds the space as array by
itself.

Unfortunately we cannot measure the space size by a static function
anymore, so kernel thread had to be moved from kernel.cc into its
own header. This way platform thread can use sizeof().

Norman Feske 0dbb5e1696 Propagate 'Range_allocator::alloc_aligned' errors
This patch reflects eventual allocation errors in a more specific way to
the caller of 'alloc_aligned', in particular out-of-metadata and
out-of-memory are considered as different conditions.

omap4 framebuffer driver (look at issue #505 and #506).

Martin Stein 4dadd6a437 base-hw: Read and write whole thread states.
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'.

Martin Stein 6cb89f79e3 base_hw & arm_v7: Use write-back caching.
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.

Martin Stein 4723b08322 base_hw: Use TLB-specific 'struct Page_flags'.
'Page_flags' maps application-specific memory attributes
to the TLB-specific memory attributes. Thereby it avoids
functions with lots of parameters, by declaring appropriate
bitfields on a single POD value.

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.

Norman Feske 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.

Martin Stein 8d03312528 base_hw: Use board-specific 'Core_tlb'.
'Core_tlb' ensures that core never throws pagefaults,
in contrast to its base 'Tlb' that is planned to use displacement
in the future.

'Core_tlb' enables the application of differenet memory attributes
in core, according to the board specific partitioning of the physical
address space. This way it enables caching in core.

Martin Stein 53156de9f4 base_hw & arm: Memory attributes and light caching.
Enable caches. Core is not cached by now. This is because kernel
creates core space and doesn't know any memory attributes by now.
Cacheable pages are cached write-through without write-allocate.

Caching and write-combining is not supported for IOMEM by now.

Stefan Kalkowski 8393ac6895 base-hw: implement vm_session for 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.

Stefan Kalkowski 965ffc1df2 base-hw: increase signal session initial quota 2012-10-29 10:08:29 +01:00
Stefan Kalkowski 94ea3a0acb Move away drivers from generic base-repository
Driver definitions which are used by kernel/core in base-hw, and also by other
drivers (e.g. from the os repository) have to reside in the generic
base-repository, for instance some uart drivers. All drivers which are
interesting for one of the sites only (sp804 for timer driver, or
cortex_a9 cpu driver for base-hw) should reside in the respective repos.

Factorize cpu context out of Cortex A9 specific definitions. Moreover, there
is already a Cpu_state object containing all common ARM registers. We use
this as a base for the cpu context switching done by the base-hw kernel.
The Cpu_state class get extended by a cpu-exception field, that stores the kind
of exception raised when the corresponding context got interrupted. This
information is used not only by the base-hw kernel, but also by the TrustZone
VMM that is build currently.

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.

Stefan Kalkowski 96d45c1159 Define board declarations in a more generic fashion

actual platform support.
