The thread library (thread.cc) in base-foc shared 95% of the code with
the generic implementation except myself(). Therefore, its
implementation is now separated from the other generic sources into
myself.cc, which allows base-foc to use a foc-specific primitive to
enable our base libraries in L4Linux.
Issue #1491
Otherwise RPC calls to dead/invalid destinations are rated as successful,
which leads to wrong execution paths later on. Triggered by bomb.run where
rm_session.attach() returned as successful with local address set to 0, which
causes un-handled page-faults later on.
Fixes#1480
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.
This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.

Use the new asynchronous IRQ interface in the mostly used drivers, e.g.:
* ahci_drv: x86/exynos5
* gpio_drv: imx53/omap4
* input_drv: imx53/dummy
* ps2_drv: x86/pl050
* timer_drv
Now, the Irq_session is requested from Gpio::Session:
From now on we use an asynchronous IRQ interface. To prevent triggering
another GPIO IRQ while currently handling the former one, IRQs must
now by acknowledged explicitly. While here, we also changed the GPIO
session interface regarding IRQ management. The generic GPIO component
now wraps the Irq_session managed by the backend instead of using the
GPIO backend methods directly. A client using the GPIO session may
request the Irq_session_capability by calling
'Gpio::Session::irq_session()' and can use this capability when using
a local Irq_session_client.

A long long time ago, in a galaxy^W^W^W we used DDE kit to ease the
porting of purely C based drivers. By now it became clear, that we
do not gain that much by following this approach. DDE kit contains
much generic functionality, which is not used or rather not needed
by most ported drivers. Hence, we implement a slim C wrapper on top
of Genode's C++ APIs, that is especially tailored to the driver.
In addition to removing the dependency on DDE kit, the iPXE driver
now uses the server framework and the newly introduced signal based
IRQ handling.

This patch adds const qualifiers to the functions Allocator::consumed,
Allocator::overhead, Allocator::avail, and Range_allocator::valid_addr.
Fixes#1481
Instead of handing over object ids to the kernel, which has to find them
in object pools then, core can simply use object pointers to reference
kernel objects.
Ref #1443
Instead of having an ID allocator per object class use one global allocator for
all. Thereby artificial limitations for the different object types are
superfluent. Moreover, replace the base-hw specific id allocator implementation
with the generic Bit_allocator, which is also memory saving.
Ref #1443
The verb "bin" in the context of destroying kernel objects seems pretty
unusual in contrast to "delete". When reading "bin" in the context of
systems software an association to something like "binary" is more likely.
Ref #1443
* Instead of using local capabilities within core's context area implementation
for stack allocation/attachment, simply do both operations while stack gets
attached, thereby getting rid of the local capabilities in generic code
* In base-hw the UTCB of core's main thread gets mapped directly instead of
constructing a dataspace component out of it and hand over its local
capability
* Remove local capability implementation from all platforms except Linux
Ref #1443
The global capability ID counter is not used by NOVA and Fiasco.OC
and in the future not needed by base-hw too. Thereby, remove the static
counter variable from the generic code base and add it where appropriated.
Ref #1443
Enable platform specific allocations and ram quota accounting for
protection domains. Needed to allocate object identity references
in the base-hw kernel when delegating capabilities via IPC.
Moreover, it can be used to account translation table entries in the
future.

Currently, the 'pointed session' gets updated only when an input event
occurs, but an update is also needed in other situations, for example
when the view under the current mouse position was moved.
With this commit, the 'pointed session' gets updated whenever the
timer-triggered 'handle_input()' function is called.
Fixes#1473
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.
With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.
Fixes#1472
This commit enables the VirtualBox graphics adapter, provides guest mouse
pointer integration with Nitpicker using the 'vbox_pointer' application
and enhances the VirtualBox run scripts with the configuration of
Nitpicker, input merger and network driver.
Fixes#1474
The driver operates in PIO mode only. Depending on the block size (512
bytes versus 128 KiB), it has a troughput of 2 MiB/sec - 10 MiB/sec for
reading and 173 KiB/sec - 8 MiB/sec for writing.
Fixes#1475
This patch enhances the generic SD-card protocol implementation in
sd-card.h with the ability to handle the version 1.0 of the CSD register
(containing the capacity information of older SD cards).
The emergency dataspace is used to accommodate the corner case where
a signal context capability is created while issuing the first
resource request. Normally, the attempt to upgrade the signal-session
quota under such a constrained situation would fail. By freeing the
emergency dataspace in this situation, we regain enough quota to
upgrade the signal session.
This is a follow up commit for "base: Raise RAM quota of signal session
to 16K" and fixes the resource_request test on 64-bit platforms.
This patch improves the C++ parser to accommodate the tools for
generating the functional specification from source code:
* Added support for class definitions prefixed with a
namespace as promoted by Genode's coding style.
* Improves robustness of the parsing of function arguments by
considering nameless arguments in function declarations, default
values, varargs.
* Consider const qualfiers in return types.
* Added support for the override, constexpr keywords.
* Parsing of overloaded operators.
* Improved handling of type definitions.
* Added parsing of template arguments.
* Handling of template constructors.
