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 the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework: :_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files. :_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers. :_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a minimal-complexity GUI server. :_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork bomb as a simple system stress test. :_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked against shared libraries. :_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository, for example, the alarm framework.
