f2d063be07 rump_fs: add support for session (un-)mounting
Issue #2558.

4d442bca30 Streamline exception types
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.

Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.

This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).

e44f65f3b2 core: RAM service based on 'Session_object'
This patch reworks the implementation of core's RAM service to make use
of the 'Session_object' and to remove the distinction between the
"metadata" quota and the managed RAM quota. With the new implementation,
the session implicitly allocates its metadata from its own account. So
there is not need to handle 'Out_of_metadata' and 'Quota_exceeded' via
different exceptions. Instead, the new version solely uses the
'Out_of_ram' exception.

Furthermore, the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception has become an alias
for 'Out_of_ram', which simplifies the error handling.

f1c877f205 Use Genode::size_t in rumpuser_getrandom_backend()
This streamlines the Genode-specific interface for both 32-bit and
64-bit architectures and fixes dynamic-linking issue with the rump
VFS due to differing size_t types.

6fa6d72c0b rump_fs: Transition to new API
The rump libraries and the rump_fs component are now conform to the new base
API. Also the I/O back end should be running stable now.

17c79a9e23 base: avoid use of deprecated base/printf.h
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.

While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).

To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

fd401bdf53 Thread API cleanup
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:

- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
  plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
  arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
  Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
  The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
  common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
  used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
  constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
  'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
  object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
  replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
  as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API

511acad507 Consolidate RM service into PD session
This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to
reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure.
Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion.

Note the API change:

With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now,
the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed
dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a
RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the
'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed.

The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a
minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the
'Region_map::State' struct.

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'.

786fe805da base: introduce caching attributes (fix #1184)
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.

e777165090 dde_rump: block encryption server using cgd(4)
The 'rump_cgd' server provides block level encryption for a block
session by employing the 'cgd(4)' device provided by the rumpkernel.

'rump_cgd' uses a Block_session to get access to an existing block
device and provides another Block_session to its clients. Each block
written or read by the client is transperently encrypted or decrypted
by the server.

For now 'rump_cgd' may only _configure_ a 'cgd' device but is unable
to generate a configuration. The used cipher is hardcoded to
_aes-cbc_ with a keysize of 256 bit. Furthermore the server is able to
serve one client only.

To ease the usage, its interface is modelled after the interface of
'cgdconfig(8)'. As implications thereof the key must have the same
format as used by 'cgdconfig'. That means the key is a base 64 encoded
string in which the first 4 bytes denote the actual length of the key
in bits (these 4 bytes are stored in big endian order).

Preparing a raw (e.g. without partition table) encrypted Ext2 disk
image is done by executing 'tool/rump':

! dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/disk_image
! rump -c /path/to/disk_image # key is printed to stdout
! rump -c -k <key> -F ext2fs /path/to/disk_image

To use this disk image the following config snippet can be used:

! <start name="rump_cgd">
! 	<resource name="RAM" quantum="8M" />
! 	<provides><service name="Block"/></provides>
! 	<config action="configure">
! 		<params>
! 			<method>key</method>}
! 			<key>AAABAJhpB2Y2UvVjkFdlP4m44449Pi3A/uW211mkanSulJo8</key>
! 		</params>
! 	</config>
! 	<route>
! 		<service name="Block"> <child name="ahci"/> </service>
! 		<any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service>
! 	</route>
! </start>

the Block service provided by rump_cgd may be used by a file system
server in return:

! <start name="rump_fs">
! 	<resource name="RAM" quantum="16M"/>
! 	<provides><service name="File_system"/></provides>
! 	<config fs="ext2fs">
! 		<policy label="" root="/" writeable="yes"/>
! 	</config>
! 	<route>
! 		<service name="Block"> <child name="rump_cgd"/> </service>
! 		<any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service>
! 	</route>
! </start>

Since 'tool/rump' just utilizes the rumpkernel running on the host
system to do its duty there is a script called 'tool/cgdconf' that
extracts the key from a 'cgdconfig(8)' generated configuration file
and also is able to generade such a file from a given key. Thereby
the interoperabilty between 'rump_cgd' and the general rumpkernel
based tools is secured.
