1ccf8a280c base-hw: simplify board support in external repo
Avoid use of REP_DIR in *.mk files to simplify the use of these files as
templates for a board hosted in a separate repository.

Use REP_INC_DIR for searching headers, thereby considering headers
hosted in an external repository.

8e13b376b0 hw: improve cross-cpu synchronization
This commit addresses several multiprocessing issues in base-hw:

* it reworks cross-cpu maintainance work for TLB invalidation by
  introducing a generic Inter_processor_work and removes the so
  called Cpu_domain_update
* thereby it solves the cross-cpu thread destruction, when the
  corresponding thread is active on another cpu (fix #3043)
* it adds the missing TLB shootdown for x86 (fix #3042)
* on ARM it removes the TLB shootdown via IPIs, because this
  is not needed on the multiprocessing ARM platforms we support
* it enables the per-cpu initialization of the kernel's cpu
  objects, which means those object initialization is executed
  by the proper cpu
* it rollbacks prior decision to make multiprocessing an aspect,
  but puts back certain 'smp' mechanisms (like cross-cpu lock)
  into the generic code base for simplicity reasons

4e97a6511b hw: switch page-tables only when necessary
* Instead of always re-load page-tables when a thread context is switched
  only do this when another user PD's thread is the next target,
  core-threads are always executed within the last PD's page-table set
* remove the concept of the mode transition
* instead map the exception vector once in bootstrap code into kernel's
  memory segment
* when a new page directory is constructed for a user PD, copy over the
  top-level kernel segment entries on RISCV and X86, on ARM we use a designated
  page directory register for the kernel segment
* transfer the current CPU id from bootstrap to core/kernel in a register
  to ease first stack address calculation
* align cpu context member of threads and vms, because of x86 constraints
  regarding the stack-pointer loading
* introduce Align_at template for members with alignment constraints
* let the x86 hardware do part of the context saving in ISS, by passing
  the thread context into the TSS before leaving to user-land
* use one exception vector for all ARM platforms including Arm_v6

42db1e112b hw: introduce kernel/user address space split
* introduces central memory map for core/kernel
* on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000
* on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000
* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
  thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area
* differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB,
  which now resides inside the kernel segment

a004462096 hw: fix capability accounting of kernel/core
The recently implemented capability resource trading scheme unfortunately
broke the automated capability memory upgrade mechanism needed by base-hw
kernel/core. This commit splits the capability memory upgrade mechanism
from the PD session ram_quota upgrade, and moves that functionality
into a separate Pd_session::Native_pd interface.

4773707495 core: split RAM dataspace factory from RAM service

dataspace creation, the code becomes simpler to follow, and the RAM
session can be more easily merged with the PD session in a subsequent
step.

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.

4d3d4ecca0 hw core: merge Kernel::Clock and Kernel::Timer
With this, we get rid of platform specific timer interfaces. The new
Timer class does the same as the old Clock class and has a generic
interface. The old Timer class was merely used by the old Clock class.
Also, we get rid of having only one timer instance which we tell with
each method call for which CPU it shall be done. Instead now each Cpu
object has its own Timer member that knows the CPU it works for.

Also, rename all "tics" to "ticks".

658547d058 hw: remove core/ARM specific aspect perf_counter
This aspect was always enabled when creating a build directory for hw,
but is not enabled anymore due to recent build directory unifications.
On the other hand it is needed for jitter entropy anyway.

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.

4da52517c1 Simpify startup of dynamically linked binaries
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.

A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.

The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.

The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.

c450ddcb3d Disambiguate kernel-specific file names
This patch removes possible ambiguities with respect to the naming of
kernel-dependent binaries and libraries. It also removes the use of
kernel-specific global side effects from the build system. The reach of
kernel-specific peculiarities has thereby become limited to the actual
users of the respective 'syscall-<kernel>' libraries.

Kernel-specific build artifacts are no longer generated at magic places
within the build directory (like okl4's includes, or the L4 build
directories of L4/Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, or the build directories of
various kernels). Instead, such artifacts have been largely moved to the
libcache. E.g., the former '<build-dir>/l4/' build directory for the L4
build system resides at '<build-dir>/var/libcache/syscall-foc/build/'.
This way, the location is unique to the kernel. Note that various tools
are still generated somewhat arbitrarily under '<build-dir>/tool/' as
there is no proper formalism for building host tools yet.

As the result of this work, it has become possible to use a joint Genode
build directory that is usable with all kernels of a given hardware
platform. E.g., on x86_32, one can now seamlessly switch between linux,
nova, sel4, okl4, fiasco, foc, and pistachio without rebuilding any
components except for core, the kernel, the dynamic linker, and the timer
driver. At the current stage, such a build directory must still be
created manually. A change of the 'create_builddir' tool will follow to
make this feature easily available.

This patch also simplifies various 'run/boot_dir' plugins by removing
the option for an externally hosted kernel. This option remained unused
for many years now.
