The lowest syscall number is -8, which doesnt' fit in 3 bits -> change
to 4.
Also, we were storing the -ve number, which also doesn't fit into 3
bits -> invert it when we store it.
This reorders the bootinfo struct to place the untyped array as the
last element. Having the array at the end makes the layout of the
information in this struct easier to represent in other languages.
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.

Where MCP = Maximum Controlled Priority
This commit adds:
* seL4_TCB_SetMCPriority
and changes the arguments to
* seL4_TCB_Configure
As of this commit, a thread cannot create or set a threads
priority (including itself) above its mcp. Previously the kernel
did this check against a threads priority, which prevented a thread
from setting it's own priority down and then up again.
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
This adds a dummy header with syscall prototypes with doxygen comments.
The build process for the manual includes parsing these comments using
doxygen. Doxygen produces an xml file which is parsed by a script to
generate latex which is included in the manual. This approach was chosen
over doxygen's native latex output to gain greater control over the
formatting of the generated documentation, and to take advantage of
existing api-formatting support in the sel4 manual.

Given that the log buffer is now
(79291252a8) in user-level, the kernel doesn't have
to dump and send the size for users. Users have to take care of this.
* commit 'da0c39f473270a965d8ad73774a204290dd5b44b':
libsel4: Tidied comments and moved compound rights
libsel4: Use pragma once in cap rights header
libsel4: Added cap rights interface wrapper
Benchmark feature that currently:
- Keeps track of system calls info
- Start time
- Duration
- Capability type
- Invocation tag
- Log the number of invocations of each system call*
- Log the number of invocations for each capability type per syscall.
- Has 3 new syscalls (dump, reset, get size).
- This new feature uses the existing log buffer (which is 1MiB for x86
and ARM). Since the number of syscall invocations is not
deterministic, the logged number of invocations is limited by the size
of the buffer. I suggested to enable the users to pass their own
user-level buffer, to enable more flexibility, later.
- ENABLE_BENCHMARKS is now a parent config option of trace points and
system call track features, they can't be used at the same time.
This merely aligns the libsel4 bootinfo declaration with kernel.
Each change corresponds to a place where the kerne bootinfo_t
structure is using a uint32_t
Current bootinfo defines two slot regions for paging structures,
one for page directories and one for page tables. This does not
easily generalise for N levels of paging structures. This change
uses a single region that has a known order of objects for however
many levels exist
Restructure the x86 interrupt handling to allow for a more flexible
method of using IOAPIC and MSI interrupts. The essence of this change
is to allow for the user to pick, for both IOAPIC and MSIs, which
CPU vector to use. Additionally there is future support, in the API,
for seL4 to eventually protect MSI interrupts with the vt-d interrupt
routing tables.
API behaviour for legacy systems using the PIC is preserved
