Enable routing of thread events to signal contexts via
Kernel::route_thread_event.
Replace Kernel::set_pager by Kernel::route_thread_event.
In base-hw a pager object is a signal context and a pager activation
is a signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page
faults via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with
its thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the signal context ID of the pager object.
If a pager activation wants to start handling page faults of a pager object,
the pager activation assigns the corresponding signal context to its signal
receiver. If a pager activation wants to stop handling page faults of a pager
object, the pager activation dissolves the corresponding signal context from
its signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page faults
via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with its
thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the invalid signal context ID.
Remove Kernel::resume_faulter.
Move all page fault related code from generic kernel sources to CPU
specific cpu_support.h and cpu_support.cc.
fix#935
With this patch, the 'futex' syscall gets used for blocking and unblocking
of threads in the Linux-specific lock implementation.
The 'Native_thread_id' type, which was previously used in the
lock-internal 'Applicant' class to identify a thread to be woken up,
was not suitable anymore for implementing this change. With this patch,
the 'Thread_base*' type gets used instead, which also has the positive
effect of making the public 'cancelable_lock.h' header file
platform-independent.
Fixes#646.
Merge core only libs into the target make-files.
Use base-hw specific Board drivers that inherit
from generic Board_base.
Use Page_flags::access_t instead of additional
page_flags_t.
Fix#570
On Linux, we want to attach additional attributes to processes, i.e.,
the chroot location, the designated UID, and GID. Instead of polluting
the generic code with such Linux-specific platform details, I introduced
the new 'Native_pd_args' type, which can be customized for each
platform. The platform-dependent policy of init is factored out in the
new 'pd_args' library.
The new 'base-linux/run/lx_pd_args.run' script can be used to validate
the propagation of those attributes into core.
Note that this patch does not add the interpretation of the new UID and
PID attributes by core. This will be subject of a follow-up patch.
Related to #510.
Implement 'Signal_receiver::pending()'.
Provide display-subsystem MMIO.
Avoid method ambiguousness in 'Irq_context' in
'dde_linux/src/drivers/usb/signal/irq.cc'
(it derives from two list element classes when using 'base_hw').
Enables demo scenario with 'hw_panda_a2'.
