bf62d6b896 Move timer from os to base repository
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.

Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.

Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.

7f1692b3ca core: support unmap of managed dataspace generally
This commit solves several issues:

* correct calculation of overlap region when detaching regions
  in managed dataspaces
* prevent unmap of Fiasco.OC's core log buffer
* calculate the core-local address of regions in managed dataspaces
  if possible at all and use it to unmap on kernels where this is
  needed

3824ad4756 nova: define kernel memory based on system memory
Switch to kernel branch, that determines the available system memory during
boot time. The overall kernel memory is still static, but during boot time
dynamically the amount can be chosen. Following 3 config option exists:

CONFIG_MEMORY_BOOT is the amount of kernel memory allocated in the BSS
statically - effectively chosen during link time - see linker script.

CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_MIN && CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_PER_MILL configures the dynamic
part of the kernel memory allocation applied during early kernel boot time.
CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_MIN is the amount of memory which should be allocated at
least. CONFIG_MEMORY_DYN_PER_MILL defines the amount of the system memory in
per mill which should be allocated at most. The overall maximum kernel memory
is restricted to ~1G (64bit), due to the chosen internal virtual memory layout.

4b46abf813 base: rm first-class support for static binaries
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.

Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:

  <route>
    <service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
      <parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
  </route>

However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:

  <start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>

fbe9d26c47 trace: initialize trace control in Thread::start
Previously, the trace control of a thread was initialized in its
constructor (which is generic for all components). This has the
disadvantage that the CPU-session-pointer member of the thread might not
be valid at this point. And it cannot be replaced by using the
"deprecated_env" CPU session neither as constructing the deprecated
environment in causes troubles in Core. But as the trace control
shouldn't be needed in Core anyway, the initialization can be moved to
the Thread::start implementation of non-core components. This code
already takes care of the CPU session pointer.

abf9557bb5 AVL node/tree: make non-copyable
AVL trees can't be copied with the default copy constructor as the
parent pointer of the first item of both of the resulting trees would
point to the original tree. Copying an AVL node, however, generally
violates the integrity of the corresponding tree. The copy constructor
of Avl_tree is used in some places but in those places it can be
replaced easily. So, this commit deletes the copy constructor of
Avl_node_base which makes Avl_node and Avl_tree non-copyable.

eba9c15746 Follow practices suggested by "Effective C++"
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:

* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
  classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
  to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
  used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
  to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
  'List' must become a friend.

* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
  we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
  destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
  as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
  base/include/util/interface.h.

* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
  initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
  are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
  basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
  use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.

* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
  copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
  would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
  copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
  our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
  the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
  For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
  constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
  declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:

        /*
         * Noncopyable
         */
        Thread(Thread const &);
        Thread &operator = (Thread const &);

  In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
  the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
  reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
  a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.

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.

c70fed29f7 os/timer: interpolate time via timestamps
Previously, the Genode::Timer::curr_time always used the
Timer_session::elapsed_ms RPC as back end.  Now, Genode::Timer reads
this remote time only in a periodic fashion independently from the calls
to Genode::Timer::curr_time. If now one calls Genode::Timer::curr_time,
the function takes the last read remote time value and adapts it using
the timestamp difference since the remote-time read. The conversion
factor from timestamps to time is estimated on every remote-time read
using the last read remote-time value and the timestamp difference since
the last remote time read.

This commit also re-works the timeout test. The test now has two stages.
In the first stage, it tests fast polling of the
Genode::Timer::curr_time. This stage checks the error between locally
interpolated and timer-driver time as well as wether the locally
interpolated time is monotone and sufficiently homogeneous. In the
second stage several periodic and one-shot timeouts are scheduled at
once. This stage checks if the timeouts trigger sufficiently precise.

This commit adds the new Kernel::time syscall to base-hw. The syscall is
solely used by the Genode::Timer on base-hw as substitute for the
timestamp. This is because on ARM, the timestamp function uses the ARM
performance counter that stops counting when the WFI (wait for
interrupt) instruction is active. This instruction, however is used by
the base-hw idle contexts that get active when no user thread needs to
be scheduled.  Thus, the ARM performance counter is not a good choice for
time interpolation and we use the kernel internal time instead.

With this commit, the timeout library becomes a basic library. That means
that it is linked against the LDSO which then provides it to the program it
serves. Furthermore, you can't use the timeout library anymore without the
LDSO because through the kernel-dependent LDSO make-files we can achieve a
kernel-dependent timeout implementation.

This commit introduces a structured Duration type that shall successively
replace the use of Microseconds, Milliseconds, and integer types for duration
values.

Open issues:

* The timeout test fails on Raspberry PI because of precision errors in the
  first stage. However, this does not render the framework unusable in general
  on the RPI but merely is an issue when speaking of microseconds precision.

* If we run on ARM with another Kernel than HW the timestamp speed may
  continuously vary from almost 0 up to CPU speed. The Timer, however,
  only uses interpolation if the timestamp speed remained stable (12.5%
  tolerance) for at least 3 observation periods. Currently, one period is
  100ms, so its 300ms. As long as this is not the case,
  Timer_session::elapsed_ms is called instead.

  Anyway, it might happen that the CPU load was stable for some time so
  interpolation becomes active and now the timestamp speed drops. In the
  worst case, we would now have 100ms of slowed down time. The bad thing
  about it would be, that this also affects the timeout of the period.
  Thus, it might "freeze" the local time for more than 100ms.

  On the other hand, if the timestamp speed suddenly raises after some
  stable time, interpolated time can get too fast. This would shorten the
  period but nonetheless may result in drifting away into the far future.
  Now we would have the problem that we can't deliver the real time
  anymore until it has caught up because the output of Timer::curr_time
  shall be monotone. So, effectively local time might "freeze" again for
  more than 100ms.

  It would be a solution to not use the Trace::timestamp on ARM w/o HW but
  a function whose return value causes the Timer to never use
  interpolation because of its stability policy.

4d442bca30 Streamline exception types
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.

Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.

This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).

1f4f119b1e Capability quota accounting and trading
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.

Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.

At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.

If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:

  <default-route>
    <service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
      <parent diag="yes"/>
    </service>
    ...
  </default-route>

For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.

e44f65f3b2 core: RAM service based on 'Session_object'
This patch reworks the implementation of core's RAM service to make use
of the 'Session_object' and to remove the distinction between the
"metadata" quota and the managed RAM quota. With the new implementation,
the session implicitly allocates its metadata from its own account. So
there is not need to handle 'Out_of_metadata' and 'Quota_exceeded' via
different exceptions. Instead, the new version solely uses the
'Out_of_ram' exception.

Furthermore, the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception has become an alias
for 'Out_of_ram', which simplifies the error handling.

eea493a8ca base: safeguard entrypoint against double manage
This patch adds sanity checks to the RPC entrypoint that detect attempts
to manage or dissolve the same RPC object twice. This is not always a
bug. I.e., if RPC objects are implemented in the modern way where the
object manages/dissolves itself. As the generic framework code (in
particular root/component.h) cannot rely on this pattern, it has to
call manage/dissolve for session objects anyway. For modern session
objects, this double attempt would result in a serious error (double
insertion into the object pool's AVL tree).

This commit moves the headers residing in `repos/base/include/spec/*/drivers`
to `repos/base/include/drivers/defs` or repos/base/include/drivers/uart`
respectively. The first one contains definitions about board-specific MMIO
iand RAM addresses, or IRQ lines. While the latter contains device driver

This work is a step in the direction of reducing 'SPEC' identifiers overall.

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.

253097314c Add unified build directories to create_builddir
This patch makes the benefit of the recently introduced unified Genode
ABI available to developers by enabling the use of multiple kernels from
within a single build directory. The create_builddir tool has gained a
new set of kernel-agnostic platform arguments such as x86_32, or panda.
Most build targets within directories are in principle compatible with
all kernels that support the selected hardware platform. To execute a
scenario via the run tool, one has to select the kernel to use by
setting the 'KERNEL' argument in the build configuration
(etc/build.conf). Alternatively, the 'KERNEL' can be specified as
command-line argument of the Genode build system, e.g.:

  make run/log KERNEL=nova

This allows us to easily switch from one kernel to another without
rebuilding any Genode component except for the very few kernel-specific
ones.

The new version of the 'create_builddir' tool is still compatible with
the old version. The old kernel-specific build directories can still be
created. However, those variants will eventually be removed.

Note that the commit removes the 'ports-foc' repository from the
generated 'build.conf' files. As this is only meaningful for 'foc',
I did not want to include it in the list of regular repositories (as
visible in a 'x86_32' build directory). Hence, the repository must
now be manually added in order to use L4Linux.

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.

f54c85e045 Genode application binary interface (ABI)
This patch decouples the kernel-specific implementation of the dynamic
linker from its kernel-agnostic binary interface. The name of the
kernel-specific dynamic linker binary now corresponds to the kernel,
e.g., 'ld-linux.lib.so' or 'ld-nova.lib.so'. Applications are no longer
linked directly against a concrete instance of the dynamic linker but
against a shallow stub called 'ld.lib.so'. This stub contains nothing
but the symbols provided by the dynamic linker. It thereby represents
the Genode ABI.

At system-integration time, the kernel-specific run/boot_dir back ends
integrate the matching the kernel-specific variant of the dynamic linker
as 'ld.lib.so' into the boot image.

The ABI symbol file for the dynamic linker is located at
'base/lib/symbols/ld'. It contains the joint ABI of all supported
architectures. The new utility 'tool/abi_symbols' eases the creation of
such an ABI symbol file for a given shared library. Its result should be
manually inspected and edited as needed.

The patch removes the 'syscall' library from 'base_libs.mk' to avoid
polluting the kernel-agnostic ABI with kernel-specific interfaces.

7e1692d997 core: unify handling of boot modules
Instead of solving the problem to deliver ROM modules to core while booting
differently for the several kernels (multi-boot, elfweaver, core re-linking),
this commit unifies the approaches. It always builds core as a library, and
after all binaries are built from a run-script, the run-tool will link an
ELF image out of the core-library and all boot modules. Thereby, core can
access its ROM modules directly.

This approach now works for all kernels except Linux.

With this solution, there is no [build_dir]/bin/core binary available anymore.
For debugging purposes you will find a core binary without boot modules, but
with debug symbols under [run_dir].core.

17c79a9e23 base: avoid use of deprecated base/printf.h
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.

88b358c5ef Unification of native_capability.h
This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all
kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of
base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same
implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA,
Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original
mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the
future.

This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs
across all kernels.

Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method,
which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability
representation using the base/log.h API.

d71f0a9606 Cleanup of parent-cap handling
This patch alleviates the need for a Native_capability::Dst at the API
level. The former use case of this type as argument to
Deprecated_env::reinit uses the opaque Native_capability::Raw type
instead. The 'Raw' type contains the portion of the capability that is
transferred as-is when delegating the capability (i.e., when installing
the parent capability into a new component, or when installing a new
parent capability into a new forked Noux process). This information can
be retrieved via the new Native_capability::raw method.

Furthermore, this patch moves the functions for retriving the parent
capability to base/internal/parent_cap.h, which is meant to be
implemented in platform-specific ways. It replaces the former set of
startup/internal/_main_parent_cap.h headers.

a99989af40 Separation of thread operations from CPU session
This patch moves the thread operations from the 'Cpu_session'
to the 'Cpu_thread' interface.

A noteworthy semantic change is the meaning of the former
'exception_handler' function, which used to define both, the default
exception handler or a thread-specific signal handler. Now, the
'Cpu_session::exception_sigh' function defines the CPU-session-wide
default handler whereas the 'Cpu_thread::exception_sigh' function
defines the thread-specific one.

To retain the ability to create 'Child' objects without invoking a
capability, the child's initial thread must be created outside the
'Child::Process'. It is now represented by the 'Child::Initial_thread',
which is passed as argument to the 'Child' constructor.

fd401bdf53 Thread API cleanup
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:

- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
  plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
  arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
  Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
  The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
  common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
  used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
  constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
  'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
  object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
  replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
  as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API

7274ca997d Remove Genode::Process from API
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.

b49e588c1c Assign threads to PD at its creation time
This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a
PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and
removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and
'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation
time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD.

Note the API change:

This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors.
There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map
representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the
PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the
PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space
without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call.
Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit
overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its
environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child
with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux.

511acad507 Consolidate RM service into PD session
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.

e20bbe7002 base: remove integer return codes from PD-session
The return code of assign_parent remained unused. So this patch
removes it.

The bind_thread function fails only due to platform-specific limitations
such as the exhaustion of ID name spaces, which cannot be sensibly
handled by the PD-session client. If occurred, such conditions used to
be reflected by integer return codes that were used for diagnostic
messages only. The patch removes the return codes and leaves the
diagnostic output to core.

f186587cab Unify ipc_msgbuf.h across base platforms
Besides unifying the Msgbuf_base classes across all platforms, this
patch merges the Ipc_marshaller functionality into Msgbuf_base, which
leads to several further simplifications. For example, this patch
eventually moves the Native_connection_state and removes all state
from the former Ipc_server to the actual server loop, which not only
makes the flow of control and information much more obvious, but is
also more flexible. I.e., on NOVA, we don't even have the notion of
reply-and-wait. Now, we are no longer forced to pretend otherwise.
