f763e5ec2a Move main bootstrap to platform-specific object
To prevent multiple execution of main-bootstrap, I moved the code to a
statically initialized object. The reason for this change is that
_main() is exeuted twice when starting dynamic binaries. Now, the object
is part of the base-common library which is linked with ld.lib.so.

7f7c24fcc9 Pistachio: tell the compiler about 'edi' changes
Syscall binding functions which use '__L4_INDIRECT_CALL' need to tell the
compiler that the 'edi' register gets modified. Since 'edi' is an input
operand and input operands may not get added to the clobber list, this
patch defines 'edi' also as an output operand instead.

Fixes #834.

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.

e5eeda2ec9 run: support TFTP servers using absolute paths
TFTP server requiring absolute directory names are supported (better) -
specify in RUN_OPT "--tftp-absolute" to create Pulsar config with absolute
path names for PXE boot.

Additional a symbolic link is created from the build directory to
"$PXE_TFTP_DIR_BASE$PXE_TFTP_DIR_OFFSET" automatically. This eases the use
together with autopilot for x86.

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.

Fixes #646.

2664afbd7d Remove context area from physical RAM allocator
In base-fiasco, base-foc and base-pistachio, physical memory gets mapped
1:1 to core virtual memory. When the 'Ram_session_component' allocates
physical memory for a client, it zeroes out the corresponding area in
core's virtual address space and then maps the area to the client. If this
area overlaps with core's virtual thread context area (usually at
0x40000000-0x4fffffff), the stack of one or more core threads can get
overwritten.

To avoid this problem, with this patch, the thread context area gets
removed from the physical RAM allocator on these platforms.

Fixes #660.

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.

bcdc706f42 Unify 'ipc.h' and 'ipc_generic.h' across platforms
The distinction between 'ipc.h' and 'ipc_generic.h' is no more. The only
use case for platform-specific extensions of the IPC support was the
marshalling of capabilities. However, this case is accommodated by a
function interface ('_marshal_capability', '_unmarshal_capability'). By
moving the implementation of these functions from the headers into the
respective ipc libraries, we can abandon the platform-specific 'ipc.h'
headers.

c2d3543e62 base: replace obj_by_* by lookup_and_lock
Add functionality to lookup an object and lock it. Additional the case is

returning the object.

The object_pool generalize the lookup and lock functionality of the rpc_server
and serve as base for following up patches to fix dangling pointer issues.

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.

2a03c78dfb Update L4ka::Pistachio, fix gcc-4.7 problem
With the update to L4ka::Pistachio, we no longer need to patch the
contrib sources. Our patch went upstream in the meanwhile.

Apparently, gcc-4.7 is picky about specifying the '-melf_i386' argument
at the command line of the GCC frontend. We need to make sure to use the
'-Wl,' prefix.

dc3d784e6d Introduce platform-specific services for core
By now all services in core where created, and registered in the generic
main routine. Although there exists already a x86-specific service (I/O ports)
there was no possibility to announce core-services for certain platforms only.
This commit introduces a hook function in the 'Platform' class, that enables
registration of platform-specific services. Moreover, the io-port service
is offered on x86 platforms only now.
