It covers bugs which we should detect and fix, especially depending on
the result of pthread_myself locking implementation (ours and vbox) takes
decision to take a lock or just to assume it is a reentrant locking attempt.
Fixes#1128

I ported the central rump components to Genode in order to take advantage of
NetBSD file system implementation. The new 'dde_rump' repository contains the
Genode version of the rump libraries and a 'rump_fs' server that implements
Genode file-system-session interface. Currently ext2, iso9660, and fat
file-systems are supported.
Issue #1048
This block cache component acts as a block device for a single client.
It uses fixed 4K blocks as caching granularity, thereby implicitly reads
ahead whenever a client requests lesser amount of blocks. Currently,
it only supports a least-recently-used replacement policy.
Fixes#113
* read out supported number of CPUs
* start per CPU a thread
* monitor by main thread liveness of remote CPU threads
* add a round variable
* terminate run script after a specific round or after 90s
* on qemu wait 5 rounds, on native runs 40
Add run script to autopilot list
Issue #814
The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of
long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out
to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer
client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a
multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call
by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in
an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can
be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single
thread.
The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA,
L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this
patch adds the timer test to autopilot.
Fixes#1
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.

The Lua runtime library is built in two variants: ANSI C and C++. The
C++ provides all Lua API function with C++ linkage and uses C++
exceptions instead of setjmp/longjmp for protected execution of Lua
chunks.
The ported version of Lua is 5.1.5.
