This patch establishes a common organization of header files
internal to the base framework. The internal headers are located at
'<repository>/src/include/base/internal/'. This structure has been
choosen to make the nature of those headers immediately clear when
included:
#include <base/internal/lock_helper.h>
Issue #1832
This patch integrates the functionality of the former CAP session into
the PD session and unifies the approch of supplementing the generic PD
session with kernel-specific functionality. The latter is achieved by
the new 'Native_pd' interface. The kernel-specific interface can be
obtained via the Pd_session::native_pd accessor function. The
kernel-specific interfaces are named Nova_native_pd, Foc_native_pd, and
Linux_native_pd.
The latter change allowed for to deduplication of the
pd_session_component code among the various base platforms.
To retain API compatibility, we keep the 'Cap_session' and
'Cap_connection' around. But those classes have become mere wrappers
around the PD session interface.
Issue #1841
For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint
and pager activation is not needed, and only exists due to historical
reasons. Moreover, the pager thread's execution path is almost identical
between most platforms excluding NOVA, HW, and Fisco.OC. Therefore,
this commit unifies the pager loop for the other platforms, and removes
the pager activation class.
Instead of using the Genode user-level signal API to signal page-faults to
a page-fault handler, use the kernel API directly. Thereby the accounting
of signal contexts needed for each paging subject can be done easily.
