With this patch, the 'futex' syscall gets used for blocking and unblocking of threads in the Linux-specific lock implementation. The 'Native_thread_id' type, which was previously used in the lock-internal 'Applicant' class to identify a thread to be woken up, was not suitable anymore for implementing this change. With this patch, the 'Thread_base*' type gets used instead, which also has the positive effect of making the public 'cancelable_lock.h' header file platform-independent. Fixes #646.
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.
