3886686b83 hw: get rid of global makefiles specific to hw
This commit mostly removes the globally visible NR_OF_CPUS define
from the global makefile specifiers defined in the base-hw repository.
Whereever necessary it adds platform specific makefiles to the base
repository when they were missing.

4bd5634bd5 hw: remove kernel unit test framework (fix #2096)
* Remove 'test' routine from kernel/core
* Move 'cpu_scheduler' and 'double_list' test to user-land
* Remove 'hw_info' target at all (can be recycled in a topic branch)

608df38402 hw: add dummy config to kernel tests
Building a kernel test produced an error about a missing config
apparently because of recent changes in the run tool. So, we add
a dummy XML node as config.

3bceefc9cf Omit superfluous use of "CAP"/"SIGNAL" services
The functionality of the former "CAP" and "SIGNAL" services is now
provided by core's "PD" service.

c9272937e7 CPU session: apply quota via relative weightings
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.

This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.

de9d69a6d7 hw: re-enable kernel tests with the new run env
The new run env doesn't pass the "core_type" parameter at one point
which is why we have to pass it through a global HW-specific variable.

8f9355b360 thread API & CPU session: accounting of CPU quota
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.

! <start name="test">
!   <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>

This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test".  Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.

The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.

Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.

This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.

b3655902ed hw & arm_v7: provide run/hw_info
The run test 'hw_info' prints the content of the basic ARMv7 identification and
feature registers in a pretty readable format. It is a kernel-internal test
because many of these registers are restricted to privilege level 1 or higher.

1b1fd1e1f9 hw: add and test totally sophisticated scheduler
The new scheduler serves the orthogonal requirements of both
high-throughput-oriented scheduling contexts (shortly called fill in the
scheduler) and low-latency-oriented scheduling contexts (shortly called
claim in the scheduler). Thus it knows two scheduling modes. Every claim
owns a CPU-time-quota expressed as percentage of a super period
(currently 1 second) and a priority that is absolute as long as the
claim has quota left for the current super period. At the end of a super
period the quota of all claims gets refreshed. During a super period,
the claim mode is dominant as long as any active claim has quota left.
Every time this isn't the case, the scheduler switches to scheduling of
fills. Fills are scheduled in a simple round robin with identical time
slices. Order and time-slices of the fill scheduling are not affected by
the super period. Now on thread creation, two arguments, priority and
quota are needed. If quota is 0, the new thread participates in CPU
scheduling with a fill only.  Otherwise he participates with both a
claim and a fill. This concept dovetails nicely with Genodes quota based
resource management as any process can grant subsets of its own
CPU-time and priorities to its child without knowing the global means of
CPU-time and priority.

The commit also adds a run script that enables an automated unit test of the
scheduler implementation.

a00eb9a66a hw: enhance and test double-list data-structure
To serve the needs of the coming CPU scheduler, the double list needs
additional methods such as 'to_tail' and 'insert_head'.

The commit also adds a run script that enables an automated unit test
of the list implementation.

0ab5310b8a hw: enable kernel-internal tests via run tool
Kernel tests are done by replacing the implementation of an otherwise
empty function 'Kernel::test' that gets called once at the primary CPU
as soon as all kernel initialization is done. To achieve this, the test
binary that implements 'Kernel::test' must be linked against the core
lib and must then replace the core binary when composing the boot image.
The latter can be done conveniently in a run script by setting the new
argument 'core_type' of the function 'build_boot_image' to the falue
'test'. If no kernel test is needed the argument does not have to be
given - it is set to 'core' by default which results in a "normal"
Genode image.

00ee2b565a hw: define assembler constants in global scope
Don't define assembler constants inside macros, thereby calling the
corresponding macros isn't needed anymore. To prevent having to much
constants included in files where they aren't needed, split macros.s
file into a generic mode_transition.s part, and globally used macros.s.
