To enable support of hardware virtualization for ARM on the Arndale board,
the cpu needs to be prepared to enter the non-secure mode, as long as it does
not already run in it. Therefore, especially the interrupt controller and
some TrustZone specific system registers need to be prepared. Moreover,
the exception vector for the hypervisor needs to be set up properly, before
booting normally in the supervisor mode of the non-secure world.
Ref #1405
The generalization of interrupt objects in the kernel and the use of
C++ polymorphism instead of explicitely checking for special interrupts
within generic code (Cpu_job::_interrupt) enables the registration of
additional interrupts used by the kernel, which are needed for specific
aspects added to the kernel, like ARM hardware virtualization interrupts.
* Introduce generic base class for interrupt objects handled by the kernel
* Derive an interrupt class for those handled by the user-land
* Implement IPI-specific interrupt class
* Implement timer interrupts using the new generic base class
Ref #1405
Until now, one distinct software generated IRQ per cpu was used to
send signals between cpus. As ARM's GIC has 16 software generated
IRQs only, and they need to be partitioned between secure/non-secure
TrustZone world as well as virtual and non-virtual worlds, we should
save them.
Ref #1405
* name irq controller memory mapped I/O regions consistently
in board descriptions
* move irq controller and timer memory mapped I/O region descriptions
from cpu class to board class
* eliminate artificial distinction between flavors of ARM's GIC
* factor cpu local initialization out of ARM's GIC interface description,
which is needed if the GIC is initialized differently e.g. for TrustZone
Ref #1405
Kernel::Processor was a confusing remnant from the old scheme where we had a
Processor_driver (now Genode::Cpu) and a Processor (now Kernel::Cpu).
This commit also updates the in-code documentation and the variable and
function naming accordingly.
