Piotr Tworek 8b172bf22e base: Explicitly state ELF segment flags
The code in base-hw/src/bootstrap/platform.cc uses segment flags for
identification purposes. Based on this information the code decides
what to do with each segment. Unfortunately the linker script does
not actually ensure the flags for a specific named segment match
expectations. The code relies on implicit linker behaviour.
This implicit behaviour can vary between linkers. This breaks
arm_v7a base-hw builds linked with LLVM's lld linker. The segment
named "ro" ends up having writeable flag set when using LLD.

This patch ensures that all ELF segments in genode.ld have their
required perimssion flags set explicitly.

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.
