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'.

Simpify startup of dynamically linked binaries This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the 'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings (see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of the startup. A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function, which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup. For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main' function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found. The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function 'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task. This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application. Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the 'Libc::Component::construct' function. The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of 'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the 'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at 'main'.

base: uniform base-internal header structure 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 2016-01-20 17:27:18 +00:00			`REP_INC_DIR += src/include`
Merge base libraries into a single library This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core and non-core) were not easy to capture. Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few libraries: - startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes. On some platform, core is able to use the library as well. - base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are identical by core and non-core processes. - base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core processes Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must be mentioned. Fixes #18 2013-02-14 11:39:51 +00:00
