cf943dac65 hw: bootstrap into kernel
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.

658547d058 hw: remove core/ARM specific aspect perf_counter
This aspect was always enabled when creating a build directory for hw,
but is not enabled anymore due to recent build directory unifications.
On the other hand it is needed for jitter entropy anyway.

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.

c450ddcb3d Disambiguate kernel-specific file names
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.

f54c85e045 Genode application binary interface (ABI)
This patch decouples the kernel-specific implementation of the dynamic
linker from its kernel-agnostic binary interface. The name of the
kernel-specific dynamic linker binary now corresponds to the kernel,
e.g., 'ld-linux.lib.so' or 'ld-nova.lib.so'. Applications are no longer
linked directly against a concrete instance of the dynamic linker but
against a shallow stub called 'ld.lib.so'. This stub contains nothing
but the symbols provided by the dynamic linker. It thereby represents
the Genode ABI.

At system-integration time, the kernel-specific run/boot_dir back ends
integrate the matching the kernel-specific variant of the dynamic linker
as 'ld.lib.so' into the boot image.

The ABI symbol file for the dynamic linker is located at
'base/lib/symbols/ld'. It contains the joint ABI of all supported
architectures. The new utility 'tool/abi_symbols' eases the creation of
such an ABI symbol file for a given shared library. Its result should be
manually inspected and edited as needed.

The patch removes the 'syscall' library from 'base_libs.mk' to avoid
polluting the kernel-agnostic ABI with kernel-specific interfaces.

c1bb82fb6b base-hw: make Muen sinfo API publicly available
The sinfo function declared in sinfo_instance.h creates a static sinfo
object instance and returns a pointer to the caller.

- kernel timer and platform support to use sinfo() function to
  instantiate sinfo object
- address and size of the base-hw RAM region via the sinfo API
- log_status() function in sinfo API

964e9e91c7 base-hw: eliminate the need to $(BASE_HW_DIR)
Instead of introducing a $(BASE_HW_DIR) variable that has to be defined in each
core makefile for the different base-hw targets, this commit replaces the
$(REP_DIR) variable usage in core.inc files with $(BASE_DIR)/../base-hw.

f81867f208 base-hw: refactor core.mk and core.inc files
All core.inc files now use $BASE_HW_DIR instead of $REP_DIR. The former
is defined by the core.mk file. This allows including core.inc files
from other repositories (e.g. genode-world) for additional platform
support.

40a5af42eb Clean up base-library structure
This patch moves the base library from src/base to src/lib/base,
flattens the library-internal directory structure, and moves the common
parts of the library-description files to base/lib/mk/base.inc and
base/lib/mk/base-common.inc.

Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and
comments only) that I encountered while browsing the result.

5b12034531 hw_zynq: refactor specs
This is a generalisation approach of the hw_zynq target. As the boards
typically use UART1 instead of UART0 (used by qemu), we have to
distinguish between those. Moreover, in general hw_zynq does not imply
zynq_qemu anymore, so that the support of particular boards can be
placed in third-party or community repositories (e.g. Genode world).

c3d4802ac8 hw: re-implement lazy FPU context switch
The new implementation of the FPU and FPU context is taken out to
separate architecture-dependent header files. The generic Cpu_lazy_state
is deleted. There is no hint about the existence of something like an
FPU in the generic non-architexture-dependent code anymore. Instead the
architecture-dependent CPU context of a thread is extended by an FPU
context where supported.

Moreover, the current FPU implementations are enhanced so that threads
that get deleted now release the FPU when still obtaining it.

7aff1895bf hw: enable SMP for ARM Cortex A9
This commit enables multi-processing for all Cortex A9 SoCs we currently
support. Moreover, it thereby enables the L2 cache for i.MX6 that was not
enabled until now. However, the QEMU variants hw_pbxa9 and hw_zynq still
only use 1 core, because the busy cpu synchronization used when initializing
multiple Cortex A9 cores leads to horrible boot times on QEMU.

During this work the CPU initialization in general was reworked. From now
on lots of hardware specifics were put into the 'spec' specific files, some
generic hook functions and abstractions thereby were eliminated. This
results to more lean implementations for instance on non-SMP platforms,
or in the x86 case where cache maintainance is a non-issue.

Due to the fact that memory/cache coherency and SMP are closely coupled
on ARM Cortex A9 this commit combines so different aspects.

e05d26567d hw: make 'smp' property an aspect (Ref #1312)
This commit separates certain SMP aspects into 'spec/smp' subdirectories.
Thereby it simplifies non-SMP implementations again, where no locking
and several platform specific maintainance operations are not needed.
Moreover, it moves several platform specifics to appropriated places,
removes dead code from x86, and starts to turn global static pointers
into references that are handed over.

ed52d5a211 Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:

  repos/base/include/spec
  repos/base/mk/spec
  repos/base/lib/mk/spec
  repos/base/src/core/spec
  ...

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
