Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository. Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one build directory with multiple kernels. Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer, os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/. Issue #3101
This directory contains library description files. Each '<libname>.mk' file holds the instruction for building the library '<libname>'. These makefiles are never used directly but they are called from the build system when required. When called, the build system passes the following variables: :'BASE_DIR': This is the base directory of the source tree. Source codes are specified by setting the 'SRC_CC' and 'SRC_C' variables. The source code locations must be specified via 'vpath'. A library can include other libraries by setting the 'LIBS' variable. Each '<libname>.mk' file must include the 'lib.mk' role file: ! include $(BASE_DIR)/mk/lib.mk Libraries implementing one and the same library interface may have specific implementations for different platforms. Such platform-specific '<libname>.mk' files should be placed into corresponding subdirectories. For example, the 'linux'-specific implementation of the 'server' library resides in the 'linux/' subdirectory. The build system automatically searches the right '<libname>.mk' file by evaluating the 'SPECS' configuration variable. If 'SPECS' is set to 'host linux', the build system will look into the directories './', './host', and './linux'.
