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.

Core on seL4 is configured to run on native hardware, so some static
allocators are bit over dimensioned. Some run scripts fail on qemu because
solely 64M are available in the system - adjust the affected scripts.

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.
Issue #1938
Prevents the annoying warning about
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'bin/test.img' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
This driver uses the Usb session interface and provides a Block session
to its client. See _repos/os/src/drivers/usb_block/README' for more
information.
Fixes#1885.
From our observations we can tell that the error should not exceed 4%.
However, there is no reasonable explanation by now why the test results
are less stable on these platforms. We have tried several things that
did not lead to an explanation or improvement:
* changing the timing parameters of the scheduler
* switching off SMP
* double-checking the speed of userland and kernel timers
Ref #1805
The test threads previously used a stack size independent from the machine
word width. Qemu was previously configured to provide 64Mb of RAM which isn't
sufficient for x86_64.

Print result error and error tolerance per test result. Use TCL commands

* Provide paravirtualized block API for accessing the second partition
of the block device that is provided by the ESDHC driver.
* Provide paravirtualized serial API for sending log-output over Genodes
serial port.
* Use the latest Linux suggested in the USB Armory Wiki [1] when on USB Armory
while still using the older vendor Linux when on i.MX53 QSB. I.e.,
provide a device tree through RAM and a rootfs through the paravirtualized
block device when on USB Armory while providing ATAGs and Initrd when on
i.MX53 QSB.
* Switch on the LED on the USB Armory when the VMM catches a VM-exception
and switch it off again when as soon as the exception is handled. This
merely show-cases the ability to instrument the LED for such purposes. In an
ideal world, the LED is switched on as long as we're on the "Secure Side"
and switched off as long as we're not.

This patch moves the formerly internal classes of the report-ROM service
to the public location os/include/report_rom/ so that they can be reused
by other components such as the upcoming clipboard.
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'.
Fix#1673
This scripts starts two Audio_out session clients. These clients
access the soundcard via the mixer. The first client simply streams
a sample file in a loop while the second client generates a click
sound when any key is pressed.
Issue #1666.
If a requested report already exists the request is denied with
Invalid_args.
Further, I dusted the report_rom test and added it to the
autopilot list.
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
The timer driver on X86 needs CPU quota with highest priority as it
frequently has to interrupt the counters to update the PIT.
On ARM this makes no difference in the test results as ARM timer
drivers, once configured, can sleep until the end of the timeouts.
On X86 we raise the error tolerance to 2% (default 1%) to compensate
the error caused by the timer.
Fixes#1621
Printing all errors and the goal values instead of exiting at the first
error allows for faster analysis of problems with the CPU-quota
mechanism.
Ref #1616
The test always succeeded because I forgot to set the error tolerance from
my debugging value 1 back to the correct value 0.01 before commiting the
test.

Add a test where a locked pointer shall be taken during object destruction.
Moreover, extend the run-script so it runs on different platforms with
"real" timers.
By appending a newline to the generated XML data, we prevent the output
from messing with the command prompt when using 'cat' on a shell.
Futhermore, when using line-buffered output, the trailing newline
ensures that the output gets gets properly flushed.
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.
Ref #1464
Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.
Fixes#1419
For the USB-Armory, we use a newer version of Linux (3.18) as for the
i.MX53-QSB. The main difference is, that the newer Linux uses a DTB instead of
ATAGs.
Fixes#1422
The USB Armory is almost the same as the i.MX53-QSB but it uses only
one of the two RAM banks available in i.MX53. Furthermore we use the USB
Armory only with Trustzone enabled.

* enables world-switch using ARM virtualization extensions
* split TrustZone and virtualization extensions hardly from platforms,

of ARM's Versatile Express Cortex A15 board for a Linux guest OS

Instead of returning an uint64_t value, return a structured time stamp.
This change is only visible to components using Rtc_session directly.
Fixes#1381.
This patch introduces a mandatory layer attribute to domains. The layer
ordering is superimposed on the stacking order of the views. The
top-most layer can be assigned to a pointer-managing client. An example
for such a pointer is located at os/src/app/pointer. It replaces the
formerly built-in nitpicker mouse cursor.
The new layering mechanism replaces the former "stay-top" session
argument. So the Nitpicker::Connection no longer takes the stay-top flag
as the first argument.
This patch introduces the notion of a "domain" to the nitpicker
configuration concept. Session policies always refer to a domain where
multiple session policies can refer to the same domain. Thereby a domain
provides a way to express the grouping of sessions. This is useful for
applications that open multiple nitpicker sessions (such as Qt5 apps that
use one nitpicker session per window, menu, etc.). We want to assign all
those sessions to a single domain.
The configuration looks as follows:
<config>
...
<domain name="default" color="#ffffff"/>
<policy label="" domain="default"/>
...
</config>
So far, the lifetime-management utilities 'Weak_ptr' and 'Locked_ptr'
had been preserved for core-internal use only. However, the utilities
are handy for many use cases outside of core where object lifetimes
must be managed. So we promote them to the public API.
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
