00f69bc70d base: add mutex as derivate of lock
The mutex class is more restrictive in usage compared to
Genode::Lock.

- At initialiation time it is ever unlocked.
- No thread is permitted to lock twice. Warn about it
  in case it happens.
- Only the lock onwer is permitted to unlock the mutex.
  Warn about it and don't unlock the mutex in case it happens.

6819c43a05 Add stack protector storage to base library
This patch adds the items necessary for building Genode components with
stack protection enabled, but it is not initialized at runtime. They are
provided at the moment as a convenience and do not implement a security
feature.

a1df4fee44 base: restructure signal-submit initialization
This patch allows core's 'Signal_transmitter' implementation to sidestep
the 'Env::Pd' interface and thereby adhere to a stricter layering within
core. The 'Signal_transmitter' now uses - on kernels that depend on it -
a dedicated (and fairly freestanding) RPC proxy mechanism for signal
deliver, instead of channeling signals through the 'Pd_session::submit'
RPC function.

3d7b92ea50 Generalize ABI mechanism to shared objects
This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other
than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce
intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful
for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also
become handy for the package management.

To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit.
In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now
handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more.
Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared
libraries used by the target.

cfdbccc5c2 Remove blocking calls from root and parent RPCs
This is a redesign of the root and parent interfaces to eliminate
blocking RPC calls.

- New session representation at the parent (base/session_state.h)
- base-internal root proxy mechanism as migration path
- Redesign of base/service.h
- Removes ancient 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature
- Interface change of 'Child', 'Child_policy', 'Slave', 'Slave_policy'
- New 'Slave::Connection'
- Changed child-construction procedure to be compatible with the
  non-blocking parent interface and to be easier to use
- The child's initial LOG session, its binary ROM session, and the
  linker ROM session have become part of the child's envirenment.
- Session upgrading must now be performed via 'env.upgrade' instead
  of performing a sole RPC call the parent. To make RAM upgrades
  easier, the 'Connection' provides a new 'upgrade_ram' method.

baf61df0fd base: new 'Registry' data structure
This data structure is meant as a safe alternative for a list wherever
the list is solely used to remember objects and iterate through them in
an unspecified order. One use case is the 'Service_registry'.

2030ae678e Supplement base/log.h with raw output function
This patch introduces the Genode::raw function that prints output
directly via a low-level kernel mechanism, if available.

On base-linux, it replaces the former 'raw_write_str' function.
On base-hw, it replaces the former kernel/log.h interface.

40a5af42eb Clean up base-library structure
This patch moves the base library from src/base to src/lib/base,
flattens the library-internal directory structure, and moves the common
parts of the library-description files to base/lib/mk/base.inc and
base/lib/mk/base-common.inc.

Furthermore, the patch fixes a few cosmetic issues (whitespace and
comments only) that I encountered while browsing the result.
