Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:
* GDB extensions for Fiasco.OC
* i.MX53 support for Fiasco.OC
* Kernel debugger terminal driver
* Obsolete interface Native_pd
* Obsolete function of interface Native_cpu
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been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in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).
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"'.
Fixes#2398
This patch replaces the 'Parent::Quota_exceeded',
'Service::Quota_exceeded', and 'Root::Quota_exceeded' exceptions
by the single 'Insufficient_ram_quota' exception type.
Furthermore, the 'Parent' interface distinguished now between
'Out_of_ram' (the child's RAM is exhausted) from
'Insufficient_ram_quota' (the child's RAM donation does not suffice to
establish the session).
This eliminates ambiguities and removes the need to convert exception
types along the path of the session creation.
Issue #2398
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).
Issue #2398
The 'Ram_allocator' interface contains the subset of the RAM session
interface that is needed to satisfy the needs of the 'Heap' and
'Sliced_heap'. Its small size makes it ideal for intercepting memory
allocations as done by the new 'Constrained_ram_allocator' wrapper
class, which is meant to replace the existing 'base/allocator_guard.h'
and 'os/ram_session_guard.h'.
Issue #2398
By building the posix library as shared object with an ABI, we
effectively decouple posix-using programs from the library
implementation (which happens to depend on several os-level APIs such as
the VFS).
causes the rem timer callback pending check to run more often (every 1 ms
instead 10 ms). This is essential to met the timeout requirements of the
audio backend, which must be checked&run every 5ms.
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
With the current implementation resource requests are not automically
satisfied with slack quota by init. Therefore, this commit adapts RAM
quotas of autopilot scenarios to the actual demands.
An inline attribute mismatch in the gcc-4.9.2 source causes its

but probably since gcc 5)

Issue #2338
Since init no longer provides public headers, we have to adjust the
existing users of this headers. The 'init/child_config.h' is used only
by GDB monitor. So the patch moves the header there as an interim fix.
The 'init/child_policy.h' is still used by a few components, so we have
to keep a trimmed-down version of it for now.
The initial ROMs (program and linker) are already attached to the region
map of a forked process and don't need to be obtained again from an
external ROM service when the 'Child' class asks for them. For the program
image, the local Noux ROM service already returned an invalid dataspace
capability, but not for the linker.
Instead of adding another 'magic' ROM name for the local ROM service,
this commit implements an 'empty' ROM service, which returns an
invalid dataspace for the initial ROMs.
Fixes#2272
The file space demand for the object files when compiling core has grown.
Therefore, the ram_fs component runs out of memory and requests additional
memory from init. On OKL4, where the physical memory is limited by the
elfweaver bootstrap tool, there is no more slack memory after the donation
of 1G to noux.
Otherwise it may happend that the Guest tries to set the last stored
resolution from another run, which maybe is too large.
Up to now, everthing is fine, beside the fact that output changes are not
visible - which is odd and one things the VM came not up.

This commit includes changes to the Nic::Session_component interface.
We now pass the entire env to the component instead of only ram, rm and
the ep because we need the env to open connections from within the
Session_component implemenation. So far only the cadence_gem driver
needs this, though.

Issue #1987
For now provide a initial memory buffer for allocation of static
constructors and of malloc calls out of the libc during early
libc initialization until actual vbox code is executed having the Env
pointer.
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
The test now forks twice - the parent forks a child and the child itself
forks a grand child. Both, parent and child, wait for termination of
their forked process with waitpid(). Additionally, the run script now
checks for exit of the parent (not any noux process).
This commit enables compile-time warnings displayed whenever a deprecated
API header is included, and adjusts the existing #include directives
accordingly.

This function returns the information whether the used platform relies
on USB HID for interactive scenarios by default as is the case for most
ARM platforms. In contrast, for x86 the USB driver can be omitted because
we can use the PS/2 driver (that is readily available in repos/os/).
The init component used to create the CPU/RAM/PD/ROM sessions (the child
environment) for its children by issuing session requests to its parent,
which is typically core. This policy was hard-wired. This patch enables
the routing of the environment sessions of the children of init
according to the configured routing policy.
Because there is no hard-wired policy regarding the environment sessions
anymore, routes to respective services must be explicitly declared in
the init configuration. For this reason, the patch adjusts several run
scripts in this respect.
This patch removes the outdated '<if-args>' special handling of session
labels. The '<if-args>' feature will eventually be removed completely

This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely
in the implicit use of the global Genode::env() accessor are called.
For the time being, some places within the base framework continue
to rely on the global function while omitting the warning by calling
'env_deprecated' instead of 'env'.

This patch removes the dependency of the deprecated Genode API,
fixes the coding style, and removes the "random" file system
