This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types. Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable', 'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args', 'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in 'session/session.h'. This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems (catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different scope).
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.
