99c649c42f hw: simplify Kernel::new_thread
Don't set priority and label in platform thread and then communicate this
core object via Kernel::new_thread but communicate priority and label directly.
This way kernel doesn't need to know anymore what a platform thread is.

210216e5e1 hw: simplify Kernel::start_thread
Instead of writing initial thread context to the platform-thread members
and then communicating this core object to kernel, core calls
Kernel::access_thread_regs first to initialize thread context and then
Kernel::start_thread without a platform-thread pointer. This way
the frontend as well as the backend of Kernel::start_thread loose
complexity and it is a first step to remove platform thread from the
vocabulary of the kernel.

909ab8dcd0 hw: communicate page faults via signals
Enable routing of thread events to signal contexts via
Kernel::route_thread_event.

Replace Kernel::set_pager by Kernel::route_thread_event.

In base-hw a pager object is a signal context and a pager activation
is a signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page
faults via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with
its thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the signal context ID of the pager object.
If a pager activation wants to start handling page faults of a pager object,
the pager activation assigns the corresponding signal context to its signal
receiver. If a pager activation wants to stop handling page faults of a pager
object, the pager activation dissolves the corresponding signal context from
its signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page faults
via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with its
thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the invalid signal context ID.

Remove Kernel::resume_faulter.

Move all page fault related code from generic kernel sources to CPU
specific cpu_support.h and cpu_support.cc.

c56927b76e hw: differ ID allocators even with same size
Previously, if two ID allocators for different kernel objects had the
same size, the kernel-object framework managed both objects types
through the same allocator instance. This is caused by the use of
unsynchronized singletons in the accessor functions and can be avoided
by creating new types through inheritance instead of using typedefs.
Anyways, this fix is a little bit ugly and should replaced by avoiding
the use of unsynchronized singletons in the future.

5fe29e8e4a Express affinities via Cartesian coordinates
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.

By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.

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.

a99193ad90 Rework the internal lock interface
With this patch, the 'futex' syscall gets used for blocking and unblocking
of threads in the Linux-specific lock implementation.

The 'Native_thread_id' type, which was previously used in the
lock-internal 'Applicant' class to identify a thread to be woken up,
was not suitable anymore for implementing this change. With this patch,
the 'Thread_base*' type gets used instead, which also has the positive
effect of making the public 'cancelable_lock.h' header file
platform-independent.

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.

marshalling of capabilities. However, this case is accommodated by a

moving the implementation of these functions from the headers into the
respective ipc libraries, we can abandon the platform-specific 'ipc.h'
headers.

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.

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.

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.

Driver definitions which are used by kernel/core in base-hw, and also by other

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.
