GrantReply is a new access right added to endpoint capabilities, which
allows seL4_Call to be used on those capabilities (specifically, it
allows reply caps *only* to be granted across endpoints).
Prior to the addition of GrantReply, endpoint capabilities required the
Grant access right, which allowed any arbitrary capabilitiy to be
transferred over an endpoint. Using GrantReply, systems can now be
constructed where threads using seL4_Call over an endpoint do not need to be in the same
security subsystem.
This data structure is meant to be the user visible format of the data for a cnode_cap,
yet it is defined in a kernel only bitfield file. Moving it to libsel4 opens up the
possibility of consolidating the definitions in libsel4
This is a *breaking API change*
This commit:
* makes seL4_Fault_tag_t common between the kernel and libsel4
* deprecates the existing functions from sel4/messages.h includes
* introduces a new fault API in sel4/faults.h and
* sel4/sel4_arch/faults.h
* deprecates seL4_GetTag(), as the function did not work without
the user calling seL4_SetTag() first (seL4_MessageInfo is passed
in registers and not set in the IPC buffer)
* removes previously deprecated functions (deprecated prior to 3.0.0)
* updates the seL4 manual to reflect the changes
This commit implements the body of SELFOUR-499. The API exposes the x86 DR0-7
and ARM coprocessor 14 features to userspace by virtualizing them as context-
switched registers in the TCB. Implemented as TCB invocations. This feature is
only built when CONFIG_HARDWARE_DEBUG_API is selected.
* Add low-level support routines for setting, unsetting, getting, enabling
and disabling breakpoints.
* Add support for single-stepping as well.
^ Single-stepping is not supported on ARMv6 since the hardware
doesn't have support.
^ ARM implements single-stepping as instruction breakpoints
configured to fault on every instruction -- this is achieved through
the "mismatch" mode, which is only supported from ARMv7 onwards.
* Also support explicit software break requests, a la "BKPT" and "INT $3".
* New invocations:
* seL4_TCB_SetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_GetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_UnsetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_ConfigureSingleStepping().
* New constants:
^ Event types:
^ seL4_InstructionBreakpoint.
^ seL4_DataBreakpoint.
^ seL4_SoftwareBreakRequest.
^ Access types:
^ seL4_BreakOnRead.
^ seL4_BreakOnWrite.
^ seL4_BreakOnReadWrite.
^ Exports:
^ seL4_NumHWBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveWatchpoints.
^ seL4_NumDualFunctionMonitors.
^ seL4_FirstBreakpoint.
^ seL4_FirstWatchpoint.
^ seL4_FirstDualFunctionMonitor.
See documentation in the seL4 API manual.
Kernel objects cannot be created from device untypeds, with the
exception of frames, which do not get zeroed and cannot be used
as an IPC buffer. Device untypeds additionally cannot be used
in the construction of ASID pools.
This then changes the API to the rootserver (i.e. bootinfo) to
send device untypeds instead of device frames. On ARM these
device untypeds are the same as the previously exported device
frame regions. On x86 PCI scanning is removed and all physical
memory addresses (that are not important for kernel integrity)
are released to the user.
In order to have bits in the frame and untyped caps on ARM the
number of software ASIDs had to be reduced from 2^18 to 2^17,
and the maximum untyped size reduced from 2^31 to 2^30
Its probable this was meant to be a boolean flag to represent
whether or not the TCB had a bound notification object. However,
this field is unused and its presence is confusing.
Diminish rights were to prevent a user from sending a writeable
cap over a read only endpoint. It turns out this 'security' can
be worked around without difficulty (by putting caps in a cnode
and sending the cnode) making the current diminish rights
implementation functionally useless.
Removing diminish rights has the benefit of simplifying all the
IPC paths.

This commit is 'broken' as it leaves the repository in an unbuildable state.
The purpose of having this commit is so that there is a commit where the
modifications to these files is *just* a rename, making it easier to merge
