Norman Feske 511acad507 Consolidate RM service into PD session This patch integrates three region maps into each PD session to reduce the session overhead and to simplify the PD creation procedure. Please refer to the issue cited below for an elaborative discussion. Note the API change: With this patch, the semantics of core's RM service have changed. Now, the service is merely a tool for creating and destroying managed dataspaces, which are rarely needed. Regular components no longer need a RM session. For this reason, the corresponding argument for the 'Process' and 'Child' constructors has been removed. The former interface of the 'Rm_session' is not named 'Region_map'. As a minor refinement, the 'Fault_type' enum values are now part of the 'Region_map::State' struct. Issue #1938		2016-05-09 13:10:51 +02:00

README

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.
