This patch unifies the core-internal 'Mapping' type across all base
platforms.
As one minor downside on seL4, the diagnostic error messages when
observing faults other than page faults no longer print the faulting
thread and PD names.
Issue #2243
Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.
issue #4027
* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
To enable the interaction of a VMM with the kernel directly,
a hidden RPC gets introduced. It allows a kernel-specific
base-library implementation of the Vm_session::Client to request
a kernel-specific capability to address a VCPU, e.g., to
run/stop it.
Ref #3926
Adjust the base-* platforms to acknowledge new thread location solely if
migration is supported and succeeded. Otherwise the wrong thread
locations are observed via the trace session and utilization time calculation
get wrong.
Issue #3842
- base/cancelable_lock.h becomes base/lock.h
- all members become private within base/lock.h
- solely Mutex and Blockade are friends to use base/lock.h
Fixes#3819
This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
This patch largely reverts the commit "base: lay groundwork for
base-linux caps change" because the use of 'epoll' instead of 'select'
alleviated the need to allocate large FD sets, which motivated the
introduction of the 'Native_context' hook.

The mutex class is more restrictive in usage compared to
Genode::Lock.
- At initialiation time it is ever unlocked.
- No thread is permitted to lock twice. Warn about it
in case it happens.
- Only the lock onwer is permitted to unlock the mutex.
Warn about it and don't unlock the mutex in case it happens.
