This commit unifies the policy name for the template argument for
Native_capability_tpl to Cap_dst_policy, like suggested by Norman in the
discussion resulting from issue #145. Moreover, it takes the memcpy
operation for copying a Native_capability out of the template, which is
included by a significant bunch of files, and separates it in a library,
analog to the suggestion in issue #145.
This patch unifies the Native_capability classes for the different kernel
platforms by introducing an appropriate template, and eliminating naming
differences. Please refer issue #145.
Separate spin-lock implementation from lock-implementation and put it into a
non-public header, so it can be re-used by the DDE kit's and Fiasco.OC's
capability-allocator spin lock. Fixes issue #123.
In the cap-session component in core when freeing a capability, the
corresponding kernel object should be unmapped from all processes and core.
Until now, the unmap operation for removing the kernel object didn't worked
because of using the wrong rights-map. This patch fixes it.
The re-use of capabilities introduced by the last patch triggered this
problem because its essential for the capability-registry to detect
invalidated capabilities.
This is an interim fix for issue #112. This patch extends the
'Capability_allocator' class with the ability to register the global
ID of a Genode capability so that the ID gets associated with a
process-local kernel capability. Whenever a Genode capability gets
unmarshalled from an IPC message, the capability-allocator is asked,
with the global ID as key, whether the kernel-cap already exists.
This significantly reduces the waste of kernel-capability slots.
To circumvent problems of having one and the same ID for different kernel
objects, the following problems had to be solved:
* Replace pseudo IDs with unique ones from core's badge allocator
* When freeing a session object, free the global ID _after_ unmapping
the kernel object, otherwise the global ID might get re-used in some
process and the registry will find a valid but wrong capability
for the ID
Because core aggregates all capabilities of all different processes, its
capability registry needs much more memory compared to a regular process.
By parametrizing capability allocators differently for core and non-core
processes, the global memory overhead for capability registries is kept
at a reasonable level.
