5ab1505d43 file system: enhanced file status info
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:

- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
  (issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
  replacing the former 'mode' bits
  (issue #3030)

The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.

This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.

94b63924ed noux: add time modification
... and set initial time by using RTC session.

Up to now Noux used a monotic clock whose initial start value always
was '0' (which correlates to the start of the UNIX epoch) to provide
a notion of time. In addition it is now possible to use the RTC
session to set the initial value for use cases where having a proper
real-world time matters.

To use the RTC session the 'rtc' attribute of the '<config>' node
must be set to 'yes'. Thereby the session becomes a mandatory
dependency as Noux will not start without it.

aa66b5d62f base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs
This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.

The most prominent changes are:

- Removing the use of base/printf.h

- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
  format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
  the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
  'Connection' classes.

- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
  Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
  PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
  come to an end now.

- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
  Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.

- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
  core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
  calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
  pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.

- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
  interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.

3ada4f4733 noux: increase argv buffer to 16KiB
And most importantly: use the same size everywhere.

Note, this commit also configures the stack size of noux-process threads
to 64 KiB independently of the CPU architecture. The reason is the
increased stack usage because of the additional argument space in
Execve_child_env in syscall(SYSCALL_EXECVE), which crafts a child
environment on stack for the creation of the new child.

Fixes #3145.

6b289a1423 base/core: use references instead of pointers
This patch replaces the former prominent use of pointers by references
wherever feasible. This has the following benefits:

* The contract between caller and callee becomes more obvious. When
  passing a reference, the contract says that the argument cannot be
  a null pointer. The caller is responsible to ensure that. Therefore,
  the use of reference eliminates the need to add defensive null-pointer
  checks at the callee site, which sometimes merely exist to be on the
  safe side. The bottom line is that the code becomes easier to follow.

* Reference members must be initialized via an object initializer,
  which promotes a programming style that avoids intermediate object-
  construction states. Within core, there are still a few pointers
  as member variables left though. E.g., caused by the late association
  of 'Platform_thread' objects with their 'Platform_pd' objects.

* If no pointers are present as member variables, we don't need to
  manually provide declarations of a private copy constructor and
  an assignment operator to avoid -Weffc++ errors "class ... has
  pointer data members [-Werror=effc++]".

This patch also changes a few system bindings on NOVA and Fiasco.OC,
e.g., the return value of the global 'cap_map' accessor has become a
reference. Hence, the patch touches a few places outside of core.

b0935ef9b2 VFS: nonblocking interface
The VFS library can be used in single-threaded or multi-threaded
environments and depending on that, signals are handled by the same thread
which uses the VFS library or possibly by a different thread. If a VFS
plugin needs to block to wait for a signal, there is currently no way
which works reliably in both environments.

For this reason, this commit makes the interface of the VFS library
nonblocking, similar to the File_system session interface.

The most important changes are:

- Directories are created and opened with the 'opendir()' function and the
  directory entries are read with the recently introduced 'queue_read()'
  and 'complete_read()' functions.

- Symbolic links are created and opened with the 'openlink()' function and
  the link target is read with the 'queue_read()' and 'complete_read()'
  functions and written with the 'write()' function.

- The 'write()' function does not wait for signals anymore. This can have
  the effect that data written by a VFS library user has not been
  processed by a file system server yet when the library user asks for the
  size of the file or closes it (both done with RPC functions at the file
  system server). For this reason, a user of the VFS library should
  request synchronization before calling 'stat()' or 'close()'. To make
  sure that a file system server has processed all write request packets
  which a client submitted before the synchronization request,
  synchronization is now requested at the file system server with a
  synchronization packet instead of an RPC function. Because of this
  change, the synchronization interface of the VFS library is now split
  into 'queue_sync()' and 'complete_sync()' functions.

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).

This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely
in the implicit use of the global Genode::env() accessor are called.

to rely on the global function while omitting the warning by calling
'env_deprecated' instead of 'env'.

b44f0554bd Adapt high-level components to new parent API
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.

With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.

17c79a9e23 base: avoid use of deprecated base/printf.h
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.

While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).

To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

88b358c5ef Unification of native_capability.h
This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all
kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of
base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.

This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.

Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.

a99989af40 Separation of thread operations from CPU session
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.

A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.

To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.

completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.

fd401bdf53 Thread API cleanup
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:

- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
  plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
  arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
  Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
  The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
  common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
  used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
  constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
  'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
  object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
  replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
  as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API

b49e588c1c Assign threads to PD at its creation time
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.

Note the API change:

This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.

511acad507 Consolidate RM service into PD session
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.

Note the API change:

With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.

The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.

62b1c55399 Integrate CAP session into PD session
This patch integrates the functionality of the former CAP session into
the PD session and unifies the approch of supplementing the generic PD
session with kernel-specific functionality. The latter is achieved by
the new 'Native_pd' interface. The kernel-specific interface can be
obtained via the Pd_session::native_pd accessor function. The
kernel-specific interfaces are named Nova_native_pd, Foc_native_pd, and
Linux_native_pd.

The latter change allowed for to deduplication of the
pd_session_component code among the various base platforms.

To retain API compatibility, we keep the 'Cap_session' and
'Cap_connection' around. But those classes have become mere wrappers
around the PD session interface.
