fac69eff48 core: handle out-of-memory in RM service
This patch adds the missing exception handling for depleted RM session
quotas. If core runs out of session quota while creating a new region
map, it now reflects this condition as a Region_map::Out_of_metadata
exception to the RM client. Thanks to Denis Huber for reporting the
issue!

8d1cf08b1a core: fix regression in dataspace ownership test
This patch revives our ds_ownership test from 2012, which just revealed

sessions. The patch fixes the bug and adds an updated version of the
test to the autopilot.

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.

2b8c1af9e0 remove 'filename' from ROM sesion args
Conveying the ROM filename as the final label element simplifies
routing policy and session construction.

Annotations by nfeske:

This commit also changes the ROM session to use base/log.h instead of
base/printf.h, which produced build error of VirtualBox because the
vbox headers have a '#define Log', which collides with the content of
base/log.h. Hence, this commit has to take precautions to resolve this
conflict.

The commit alse refines the previous session-label change by adding a
new 'Session_label::prefix' method and removing the use of 'char const *'
from this part of the API.

88b358c5ef Unification of native_capability.h
This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all
kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of
base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.

This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.

Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.

d71f0a9606 Cleanup of parent-cap handling
This patch alleviates the need for a Native_capability::Dst at the API
level. The former use case of this type as argument to
Deprecated_env::reinit uses the opaque Native_capability::Raw type
instead. The 'Raw' type contains the portion of the capability that is
transferred as-is when delegating the capability (i.e., when installing
the parent capability into a new component, or when installing a new
parent capability into a new forked Noux process). This information can
be retrieved via the new Native_capability::raw method.

Furthermore, this patch moves the functions for retriving the parent
capability to base/internal/parent_cap.h, which is meant to be
implemented in platform-specific ways. It replaces the former set of
startup/internal/_main_parent_cap.h headers.

1208d14681 hw: use kernel timer for timer driver
* Adds public timeout syscalls to kernel API
  * Kernel::timeout installs a timeout and binds a signal context to it that
    shall trigger once the timeout expired
  * With Kernel::timeout_max_us, one can get the maximum installable timeout
  * Kernel::timeout_age_us returns the time that has passed since the
    calling threads last timeout installation

* Removes all device specific back-ends for the base-hw timer driver and
  implements a generic back-end taht uses the kernel timeout API

* Adds assertions about the kernel timer frequency that originate from the
  requirements of the the kernel timeout API and adjusts all timers
  accordingly by using the their internal dividers

* Introduces the Kernel::Clock class. As member of each Kernel::Cpu object
  it combines the management of the timer of the CPU with a timeout scheduler.
  Not only the timeout API uses the timeout scheduler but also the CPUs job
  scheduler for installing scheduling timeouts.

* Introduces the Kernel::time_t type for timer tic values and values inherited
  from timer tics (like microseconds).

a99989af40 Separation of thread operations from CPU session
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.

A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.

To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.

f6dec901bb base: remove Component::name from API
It turns out that the name function does not have much use in practice
except for naming the thread of the component's initial entrypoint. For
dynamically linked components, this thread is created by the dynamic
linker. It is named "ep" in these cases. Considering that we will
eventually turn all regular components into dynamically linked
executables, the additional information provided by the
Component::name() function remains unused. So it is better to not bother
the component developers with adding boilerplate code.

1e95af5bab Fixed linking and memory allocation for rust
Now rlibs are actually linked to programs. Target files have been
modified to not generate code that requires compiler-rt. Added a target
for libstd-rust, but it's very broken right now. Moved alloc_system to
the libports folder because either a memory allocator needs to be
written in rust or posix_memalign needs to be implemented. Changed
liblibc to use freebsd as the OS instead of netbsd. Added a library with
unwind dummy functions.

Rust relies on atomic builtins, which are not implemented in libgcc for
ARM. One was implemented in rust, which was sufficient to get the
current rust test to run. Rust libs were added into the group of libs
for the linker so order no longer matters. The raspberry pi now uses an
armv6 target.

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

Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and

b8cd56cb90 Tweak slab allocators to use whole pages
Most slab allocators in core use a sliced heap as backing store. Since
sliced-heap allocations are performed at page-granularity, it is
sensible to dimension the slab blocks to fill whole pages.

ba0545de07 Clean up 'Sliced_heap'
This patch cleans up the implementation of the sliced heap, adds a
constructor that takes references instead of pointers, and adds the
function 'meta_data_size' to determine the meta-data overhead per block.
The latter can be used to dimension slab allocators such that slab
blocks use whole pages.

4f69772ecc Replace 'Env' interface with modern one
The original 'Env' interface as returned by 'Genode::env()' has been
renamed to 'Env_deprecated' and moved to deprecated/env.h. The new version
of base/env.h contains the interface passed to modern components that
use the component API via base/component.h.

7274ca997d Remove Genode::Process from API
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.

b49e588c1c Assign threads to PD at its creation time
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.

Note the API change:

This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.

73b463cdbb Signal_handler: remove num argument from handler
We will eventually remove the delivery of the number of occurred signals
to the recipient. There haven't been any convincing use cases for this
feature. In the contrary, it actually led to wrong design choices in the
past where the rate of signals carried information (such as the progress
of time) that should better be obtained via an explicit RPC call.

The old 'Signal_rpc_member' template retains the old interface for now.
But the new 'Signal_handler' omits the 'unsigned' argument from the
handler function.

861508ad68 Always recreate library archives
GNU ar only uses a flat module (object) name space but supports multiple
instances of objects with the same name. As we use subdirectories with
source file names that may clash (e.g., signal/common.cc and
server/common.cc in the base library) some of our static library
archives have multiple object instances. This is not an issue on archive
creation but works not as expected when updating archives. To avoid
updates of library archives we delete the files before calling GNU ar.

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.

e20bbe7002 base: remove integer return codes from PD-session
The return code of assign_parent remained unused. So this patch
removes it.

The bind_thread function fails only due to platform-specific limitations
such as the exhaustion of ID name spaces, which cannot be sensibly
handled by the PD-session client. If occurred, such conditions used to
be reflected by integer return codes that were used for diagnostic
messages only. The patch removes the return codes and leaves the
diagnostic output to core.

cba6f5f298 base: no exit handler for libc stdout log console

a96130f20b base: get rid of alloc align default value
When using the Allocator interface, one can't tell which alignment
resulting allocations fulfill. However, at least on ARM, given the
architectural alignment requirements of ARM memory accesses, one wants
memory allocations (what allocators are for in most cases) to be word
aligned automatically. Previously, at least the AVL allocator simply
called alloc_aligned without defining align in its alloc implementation.
This led to unaligned access faults (the default was 0) when using the
AVL allocator as Allocator (as done in the metadata management of a SLAB
of an AVL that uses the AVL as backing store). To avoid such pitfalls
in the future, we force users of alloc_aligned to always specify align
(why use alloc_aligned without align anyway).

5b12034531 hw_zynq: refactor specs
This is a generalisation approach of the hw_zynq target. As the boards
typically use UART1 instead of UART0 (used by qemu), we have to
distinguish between those. Moreover, in general hw_zynq does not imply
zynq_qemu anymore, so that the support of particular boards can be
placed in third-party or community repositories (e.g. Genode world).

f186587cab Unify ipc_msgbuf.h across base platforms
Besides unifying the Msgbuf_base classes across all platforms, this
patch merges the Ipc_marshaller functionality into Msgbuf_base, which
leads to several further simplifications. For example, this patch
eventually moves the Native_connection_state and removes all state
from the former Ipc_server to the actual server loop, which not only
makes the flow of control and information much more obvious, but is
also more flexible. I.e., on NOVA, we don't even have the notion of
reply-and-wait. Now, we are no longer forced to pretend otherwise.

0c299c5e08 base: separate native CPU from CPU session
This patch unifies the CPU session interface across all platforms. The
former differences are moved to respective "native-CPU" interfaces.

NOVA is not covered by the patch and still relies on a custom version of
the core-internal 'cpu_session_component.h'. However, this will soon be
removed once the ongoing rework of pause/single-step on NOVA is
completed.
