This patch replaces the former 'Pd_session::bind_thread' function by a PD-capability argument of the 'Cpu_session::create_thread' function, and removes the ancient thread-start protocol via 'Rm_session::add_client' and 'Cpu_session::set_pager'. Threads are now bound to PDs at their creation time and implicitly paged according to the address space of the PD. Note the API change: This patch changes the signature of the 'Child' and 'Process' constructors. There is a new 'address_space' argument, which represents the region map representing the child's address space. It is supplied separately to the PD session capability (which principally can be invoked to obtain the PD's address space) to allow the population of the address space without relying on an 'Pd_session::address_space' RPC call. Furthermore, a new (optional) env_pd argument allows the explicit overriding of the PD capability handed out to the child as part of its environment. It can be used to intercept the interaction of the child with its PD session at core. This is used by Noux. Issue #1938
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.
