0b64328944 base: setup thread object for main thread in CRT0
For a main thread a thread object is created by the CRT0 before _main gets
called so that _main can already run in a generic environment that, e.g.,
catches stack overflows as a page-fault instead of corrupting the BSS.
Additionally dynamic programs have only one CRT0 - the one of the LDSO -
which does the initialization for both LDSO and program.

7e517179c9 Unify stack alignment among all platforms
The alignment is now done in Thread_base::Context. Implementations are
forced to use Context::stack_top(), which aligns the stack top.

5fe29e8e4a Express affinities via Cartesian coordinates
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.

By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.

4ae1faf14d base: add affinity support to pager construction
Propagating the affinity information is needed to allow for assigning
a pager thread that is local to the CPU of the to-be-created thread.

21de42c45d core: Introduce 'Address_space' interface
The new core-internal 'Address_space' interface enables cores RM service
to flush mappings of a PD in which a given 'Rm_client' thread resides.
Prior this patch, each platform invented their own way to flush mappings
in the respective 'rm_session_support.cc' implementation. However, those
implementations used to deal poorly with some corner cases. In
particular, if a PD session was destroyed prior a RM session, the RM
session would try to use no longer existing PD session. The new
'Address_space' uses the just added weak-pointer mechanism to deal with
this issue.

Furthermore, the generic 'Rm_session_component::detach' function has
been improved to avoid duplicated unmap operations for platforms that
implement the 'Address_space' interface. Therefore, it is related to
issue #595. Right now, this is OKL4 only, but other platforms will follow.

2664afbd7d Remove context area from physical RAM allocator
In base-fiasco, base-foc and base-pistachio, physical memory gets mapped
1:1 to core virtual memory. When the 'Ram_session_component' allocates
physical memory for a client, it zeroes out the corresponding area in
core's virtual address space and then maps the area to the client. If this
area overlaps with core's virtual thread context area (usually at
0x40000000-0x4fffffff), the stack of one or more core threads can get
overwritten.

To avoid this problem, with this patch, the thread context area gets
removed from the physical RAM allocator on these platforms.

Fixes #660.

fae63f4fa9 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

0dbb5e1696 Propagate 'Range_allocator::alloc_aligned' errors
This patch reflects eventual allocation errors in a more specific way to
the caller of 'alloc_aligned', in particular out-of-metadata and
out-of-memory are considered as different conditions.

Related to issue #526.

bcabbe2c92 Add 'Thread_base::join()'
Using the new 'join()' function, the caller can explicitly block for the
completion of the thread's 'entry()' function. The test case for this
feature can be found at 'os/src/test/thread_join'. For hybrid
Linux/Genode programs, the 'Thread_base::join()' does not map directly
to 'pthread_join'. The latter function gets already called by the
destructor of 'Thread_base'. According to the documentation, subsequent
calls of 'pthread_join' for one thread may result in undefined behaviour.
So we use a 'Genode::Lock' on this platform, which is in line with the
other platforms.

Related to #194, #501

dc3d784e6d Introduce platform-specific services for core
By now all services in core where created, and registered in the generic
main routine. Although there exists already a x86-specific service (I/O ports)
there was no possibility to announce core-services for certain platforms only.
This commit introduces a hook function in the 'Platform' class, that enables
registration of platform-specific services. Moreover, the io-port service
is offered on x86 platforms only now.

1c064d9e70 core: implement missing context area functions

- Context_area_ram_session::free()

base-nova:

base-fiasco, base-pistachio:
- unmap_local() stub

This patch partially resolves issue #394.

83bdfea9b0 Extend Cpu_session with thread-affinity API
This patch introduces the functions 'affinity' and 'num_cpus' to the CPU
session interface. The interface extension will allow the assignment of
individual threads to CPUs. At this point, it is just a stub with no
actual platform support.

4e3be6b146 Pistachio: make sure to generate global thread IDs
The kernel distinguishes local from global IDs by looking at the lowest
6 bits of the thread ID (i.e., in 'L4_ThreadControl'). If those bits are
zero, the ID is interpreted as a local ID. Because those zero bits
overlap with the version bits of global IDs, this invariant could be
violated once the version of a global ID reaches 64. In this case,
'L4_ThreadControl' will return an error on the attempt to create a new
PD. To prevent this from happening, we always set the lowest bit to 1.
