This commit addresses several multiprocessing issues in base-hw:
* it reworks cross-cpu maintainance work for TLB invalidation by
introducing a generic Inter_processor_work and removes the so
called Cpu_domain_update
* thereby it solves the cross-cpu thread destruction, when the
corresponding thread is active on another cpu (fix#3043)
* it adds the missing TLB shootdown for x86 (fix#3042)
* on ARM it removes the TLB shootdown via IPIs, because this
is not needed on the multiprocessing ARM platforms we support
* it enables the per-cpu initialization of the kernel's cpu
objects, which means those object initialization is executed
by the proper cpu
* it rollbacks prior decision to make multiprocessing an aspect,
but puts back certain 'smp' mechanisms (like cross-cpu lock)
into the generic code base for simplicity reasons
Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap
the kernel resp. core.
Ref #2092
This patch removes possible ambiguities with respect to the naming of
kernel-dependent binaries and libraries. It also removes the use of
kernel-specific global side effects from the build system. The reach of
kernel-specific peculiarities has thereby become limited to the actual
users of the respective 'syscall-<kernel>' libraries.
Kernel-specific build artifacts are no longer generated at magic places
within the build directory (like okl4's includes, or the L4 build
directories of L4/Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, or the build directories of
various kernels). Instead, such artifacts have been largely moved to the
libcache. E.g., the former '<build-dir>/l4/' build directory for the L4
build system resides at '<build-dir>/var/libcache/syscall-foc/build/'.
This way, the location is unique to the kernel. Note that various tools
are still generated somewhat arbitrarily under '<build-dir>/tool/' as
there is no proper formalism for building host tools yet.
As the result of this work, it has become possible to use a joint Genode
build directory that is usable with all kernels of a given hardware
platform. E.g., on x86_32, one can now seamlessly switch between linux,
nova, sel4, okl4, fiasco, foc, and pistachio without rebuilding any
components except for core, the kernel, the dynamic linker, and the timer
driver. At the current stage, such a build directory must still be
created manually. A change of the 'create_builddir' tool will follow to
make this feature easily available.
This patch also simplifies various 'run/boot_dir' plugins by removing
the option for an externally hosted kernel. This option remained unused
for many years now.
