Since no kernel objects can be created anymore outside Genode::core,
the Vancouver port must be adjusted to use solely the Genode interfaces.
The Vcpu_dispatcher creates all portals via the cpu_session interface and
uses the feature to setup a specific receive window during a IPC (the
cap_session::alloc IPC) to place to be received/to be mapped capability
(virtualization exception portal) at the designed indexes.
The actual vCPU thread extends from a normal Genode::Thread and extends it
by specific vCPU requirements, which are a larger exception base window and
the need by Vancouver to place the SM and EC cap at indexes next to each other.
Fixes#316
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode
Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.
On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.
In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)
Fixes#233, fixes#234
