This patch establishes the sole use of generic headers across all kernels. The common 'native_capability.h' is based on the version of base-sel4. All traditional L4 kernels and Linux use the same implementation of the capability-lifetime management. On base-hw, NOVA, Fiasco.OC, and seL4, custom implementations (based on their original mechanisms) are used, with the potential to unify them further in the future. This change achieves binary compatibility of dynamically linked programs across all kernels. Furthermore, the patch introduces a Native_capability::print method, which allows the easy output of the kernel-specific capability representation using the base/log.h API. Issue #1993
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.
