When capabilities are delegated to components, they are added to the UTCB of the
target thread. Before the thread is able to take out the capability id out of
the UTCB and adapt the user-level capability reference counter, it might happen
that another thread of the same component deletes the same capability because
its user-level reference counter reached zero. If the kernel then destroys the
capability, before the same capability id is taken out of all UTCBs, an
inconsitent view in the component is the result. To keep an consistent view in
the multi-threading scenario, the kernel now counts how often it puts a
capability into a UTCB. The threads on the other hand hint the kernel when they
took capabilities out of the UTCB, so the kernel can decrement the counter
again. Only when the counter is zero, capabilities can get destructed.
Fix#1623
'block_for_signal' and 'pending_signal' now set pending flag in signal context
in order to determine pending signal. The context list is also used by the
'Signal_receiver' during destruction.
Fixes#1738
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
