Drivers like SD-Card, platform, AHCI, and framebuffer are specified as Exynos5
compliant. But they are at least not compliant with Odroid-XU although this is
Exynos5. Thus, prevent tests that rely on such drivers when building for
hw_odoid_xu. Furthermore, make previous Arndale regulator/consts.h,
uart_defs.h, and some Board_base enums available to all Exynos5 builds to
enable at least building the drivers.

For the USB-Armory, we use a newer version of Linux (3.18) as for the
i.MX53-QSB. The main difference is, that the newer Linux uses a DTB instead of
ATAGs.
Fixes#1422
The USB Armory is almost the same as the i.MX53-QSB but it uses only
one of the two RAM banks available in i.MX53. Furthermore we use the USB
Armory only with Trustzone enabled.
Ref #1422
With the new run tool, there is no more is_qemu_available function. However,
some scripts still try to use it because only frequently used scripts were
updated by now. The commit replaces the function calls with the new
'have_include power_on/qemu' check.
Ref #1419
The wifi_drv now provides two reports. The first one contains all
accesspoints that were found while scanning the supported frequencies.
The second one reports the state of the driver, i.e., if it is
conntected to an accesspoint or not. In addition to that, the driver
now gets its configuration via a ROM session.
More detailed information are available in 'repos/dde_linux/README'.
Issue #1415.
* enables world-switch using ARM virtualization extensions
* split TrustZone and virtualization extensions hardly from platforms,
where it is not used
* extend 'Vm_session' interface to enable configuration of guest-physical memory
* introduce VM destruction syscall
* add virtual machine monitor for hw_arndale that emulates a simplified version
of ARM's Versatile Express Cortex A15 board for a Linux guest OS
Fixes#1405
To enable support of hardware virtualization for ARM on the Arndale board,
the cpu needs to be prepared to enter the non-secure mode, as long as it does
not already run in it. Therefore, especially the interrupt controller and
some TrustZone specific system registers need to be prepared. Moreover,
the exception vector for the hypervisor needs to be set up properly, before
booting normally in the supervisor mode of the non-secure world.
Ref #1405
To enable the usage of virtualization extension related instructions
there is the need to enable the '-mcpu=cortex_a15' compiler flag on
those cpus. To not conflict with other compiler flags (Ref #810) we've
to disable the '-march=arm_v7a' flag.
Ref #1405
The generalization of interrupt objects in the kernel and the use of
C++ polymorphism instead of explicitely checking for special interrupts
within generic code (Cpu_job::_interrupt) enables the registration of
additional interrupts used by the kernel, which are needed for specific
aspects added to the kernel, like ARM hardware virtualization interrupts.
* Introduce generic base class for interrupt objects handled by the kernel
* Derive an interrupt class for those handled by the user-land
* Implement IPI-specific interrupt class
* Implement timer interrupts using the new generic base class
Ref #1405
Until now, one distinct software generated IRQ per cpu was used to
send signals between cpus. As ARM's GIC has 16 software generated
IRQs only, and they need to be partitioned between secure/non-secure
TrustZone world as well as virtual and non-virtual worlds, we should
save them.
Ref #1405
* name irq controller memory mapped I/O regions consistently
in board descriptions
* move irq controller and timer memory mapped I/O region descriptions
from cpu class to board class
* eliminate artificial distinction between flavors of ARM's GIC
* factor cpu local initialization out of ARM's GIC interface description,
which is needed if the GIC is initialized differently e.g. for TrustZone
Ref #1405
The 'dest' target is renamed in the updated rump version to 'dest.stage'. This
triggered some building steps, even when the targets already existed.
Issue #1409
The handling of MMIO regions now supports more pathological cases with
weird cross references. Also, MMIO regions are releases after the
parsing is done.
Fixes#998
While booting up, some devices send garbage over the serial connection.
This can result in an unexpected EOF event within expect(1). A filter
program may be specified with '--log-serial-filter' to circumvent this
problem. Then, the output of the serial program is piped through
the filter, which may sanitize the character stream.
Fixes#1395.
Setting the ACTLR.SMP bit also without SMP support fastens RAM access
significantly. A proper solution would implement SMP support which must enable
the bit anyway.
Fixes#1353
and move it close to run_genode_until implementation.
Somehow the "match_max -d" gets ignored if it is to far away and some
our run scripts fails because the buffer contains not all information
(seen for affinity.run on a 8 core machine)
