Norman Feske 5ed5fddb7c base/os: remove deprecated APIs
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:

- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
  instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
  accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
  the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
  reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
  a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
  volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
  have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
  not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
  'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
  'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
  because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
  Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.

README core: add information about infos provided by core 2017-06-29 11:59:52 +02:00

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.

_Core_ may export information about the hardware platform by an ROM
called 'platform_info'. Depending on the platform, e.g. ARM or x86 or riscv,
and depending on the boot mode and boot loader and kernel, some nodes may not
be populated.

!<platform_info>
! <acpi revision="2" rsdt="0x1fe93074" xsdt="0x1fe930e8"/>
! <boot>
!   <framebuffer phys="0x7300000" width="1024" height="768" bpp="32"/>
! </boot>
!</platform_info>

If the ACPI RSDT and XSDT physical pointer is reported by the used kernel
and/or bootloader, _Core_ may provide this information by the ROM.

If the graphic device is initialised and can be directly used by a framebuffer
driver, _Core_ may provide the physical pointer to the framebuffer, the
resolution and color depth in bits.
