Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware. The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`, which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used, gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library. Ref #3816
This directory is a source-code repository containing Genode-specific services and applications. In contrast to the components that come with the 'os' repository, programs contained in 'gems' are able to leverage the functionalities provided by higher-level repositories such as 'libports'. To use the 'gems' repository, make sure to also add those repositories to your build configuraion.
