Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:

* 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been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in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 reworks the implementation of core's RAM service to make use
of the 'Session_object' and to remove the distinction between the
"metadata" quota and the managed RAM quota. With the new implementation,
the session implicitly allocates its metadata from its own account. So
there is not need to handle 'Out_of_metadata' and 'Quota_exceeded' via
different exceptions. Instead, the new version solely uses the
'Out_of_ram' exception.
Furthermore, the 'Allocator::Out_of_memory' exception has become an alias
for 'Out_of_ram', which simplifies the error handling.
Issue #2398
The 'diag' flag can be defined by a target node of a route in init's
configuration. It is propagated as session argument to the server, which
may evaluate the flag to enable diagnostic output for the corresponding
session.
Issue #2398
This patch makes use of the new 'Quota_transfer::Account' by the service
types in base/service.h and uses 'Quota_transfer' objects in
base/child.cc and init/server.cc.
Furthermore, it decouples the notion of an 'Async_service' from
'Child_service'. Init's 'Routed_service' is no longer a 'Child_service'
but is based on the new 'Async_service' instead.
With this patch in place, quota transfers do no longer implicitly use
'Ram_session_client' objects. So transfers can in principle originate
from component-local 'Ram_session_component' objects, e.g., as used by
noux. Therefore, this patch removes a strumbling block for turning noux
into a single threaded component in the future.
Issue #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
This patch augments the existing session/session.h with useful types for
the session creation:
* The new 'Insufficient_ram_quota' and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'
exceptions are meant to supersede the old 'Quota_exceeded' exception
of the 'Parent' and 'Root' interfaces.
* The 'Session::Resources' struct subsumes the information about the
session quota provided by the client.
* The boolean 'Session::Diag' type will allow sessions to operate in a
diagnostic mode.
* The existing 'Session_label' is not also available under the alias
'Session::Label'.
* A few helper functions ease the extraction of typed session arguments
from the session-argument string.

This commit moves the headers residing in `repos/base/include/spec/*/drivers`
to `repos/base/include/drivers/defs` or repos/base/include/drivers/uart`
respectively. The first one contains definitions about board-specific MMIO
iand RAM addresses, or IRQ lines. While the latter contains device driver
code for UART devices. Those definitions are used by driver implementations
in `repos/base-hw`, `repos/os`, and `repos/dde-linux`, which now need to
include them more explicitely.
This work is a step in the direction of reducing 'SPEC' identifiers overall.

This patch replaces the set-defaults command by a reset command, which
is needed to use the Lenovo x250 trackpoint. (original patch by
Christian Prochaska)
For asynchronously provided sessions, the parent has to maintain the
session state as long as the server hasn't explicitly responded to a
close request. For this reason, the lifetime of such session states is
bound to the server, not the client.
When the server responds to a close request, the session state gets
freed. The 'session_response' implementation does not immediately
destroy the session state but delegates the destruction to a client-side
callback, which thereby also notifies the client. However, the code did
not consider the case where the client has completely vanished at
session-response time. In this case, we need to drop the session state
immediately.
Fixes#2391
File_system servers shall deny clients not matching a defined policy.
Servers shall also apply session root offset policy followed by a client
offset.
Fix#2365
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.
The base class of Registered must provide a virtual destructor to enable
safe deletion with just a base class pointer. This requirement can be
lifted by using Registered_no_delete in places where the deletion
property is not needed.
Fixes#2331
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
