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 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.
